TAO Asian Bistro

One of the best restaurants I have ever been too. Everything is Five Star from the food to the staff to the décor. The music was great. Place is always full of beautiful people who want to party. It’s a must if you like Asian Cuisine. They have it all.

Of course the one in Vegas had to be more grand than the one in NY this is Vegas after all :)
We had reservations and when we got there we still had to wait about 40 minutes, we took advantage and had some lychee martinis at the bar.
Finally our buzzer went off and we were take to our table right by the gigantic beautiful Buddha.
I been to this restaurant a few times and I always feel like it’s my first because it’s so beautiful.
Our waiter was super nice and knew we were celebrating a bday from our reservation, he gave us enough time to look at the menu without forgetting us.
We all order our food and it’s pretty good not the best but good enough.
He didn’t forget our bday boy and brought him a huge fortune cookie stuffed with ice cream.
I asked the waiter if he could take a picture of our table and he was nice enough and even took three without asking.
Even before we left my friend asked someone walking by where the restroom was and he was like come I will show you.
Yes this place gets very crowded but you can’t beat the service here it’s excellent.

Décor is amazing, just a beautiful place all around. I had the Pad Thai which certainly left something to be desired. The noodles were way too long (most Asian chefs break them in half), this resulted in a messy meal. Also there were NOT enough noodles and the chef made it up with too many bean sprouts. Also disappointing. Overall I give it avg of 4 — 3 stars on the food, 5 stars on the décor and service. If you are going just for drinks, this is a good place.

Not sure if this restaurant even deserves one star. We had to wait over an hour for a table and never got seated and ended up leaving the restaurant. Keep in mind we did have reservations! It was so crowded we couldn’t even walk or find a place to sit. There were constantly employees telling you to move so they could escort people up to the nightclub. I would not waste my time here. There are plenty of other great places in the area with less people.

Great food. Affordable prices. Awesome service and free entry to the night club = a five star rating

The best dinner venue I’ve been to! The atmosphere is elegant yet alive, the service is spectacular, and the food tastes absolutely, deliciously WONDERFUL! Fresh, original, unique, classy, hip, trendy… Can’t say enough fabulous things about this restaurant.
It’s dimly lit inside with very cool décor … Flowers, Coi pond, statues. The dress is classy to upscale so dress to impress. This venue is for every age range to enjoy and I highly recommend a visit. We called ahead to reserve a spot, so take note this is a popular place.

This place was a great stop and Alexander was awesome.
Sushi and sake… Can’t beat it.
Thanks for the advice and I recommend not getting the sea urchin…
Enjoy Las Vegas!

This is one of the best restaurants in the strip of Vegas if you like this kind of food. The atmosphere is amazing; but the only problem is that the tables are super close to each other and if you go there on the weekend good luck being able to have a conversation over dinner. It’s super noise and crowd… If they took away some tables it would be much more enjoyable…
Food is amazing! Pricey but super worth it!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes !!
I rarely give out 5 star reviews and praise the food and service in the same review. But this one is well deserved!
Definitely make a reservation. Place gets busy fast.
Our waitress was awesome. Down to earth. Funny. Pleasant. Relatable. And most importantly, accommodating.
We started with the tuna on rice cakes. Awesome! Great portion size. Fresh. Not oily. Not overly spicy either.
We then had the cauliflower. Granted it was a bit on the sweet side, we devoured it quickly. Yummers!
Next up was the chicken pad Thai. Delicious! I was about to scarf that down as well. Unfortunately it was a bit too spicy for my wife (it was barely spicy lol) it had a nice kick to it.
Our waitress replaced it quickly with a chicken fried rice. How good can chicken fried rice really be? Oh it was all that and a bag of chips! (Bag of chips not included) Not oily at all. Seasoned well. Delicious.
Fortune cookie dessert! Holy momma Mia! It was HHHHHHYYYYUUUUUUUUGE (they’re making fortune cookies great again … Get it?) filled with mouse. So good!
That’s it! I’ll be back over and over and over again.

Janurary 22^nd-​it was my Mommy’s Bday (i’m such an awesome daughter, I know) so I decided to treat her (and dad and brother-​once again I’m awesome) to a nice restaurant to celebrate. I had already been before, but it had been a while and it was for clubbing purposes only, so i had forgotten how pretty (and DARK) it was inside. There was a slight line, but i had reservations so i didn’t have to wait for a table. It was pretty crowded (but it was a Friday in Las Vegas so duh). so our table was slightly cramped but no big deal.
I ordered shrimp tempura, and california rolls. My mother also ordered some sushi (can’t remember which ones) but everything was good, My dad had some spare ribs that were extremely tender (i got a piece off his plate) and my brother ordered the Thai Duck fried rice-​which was so good, he ordered another and I ordered one for myself.
So because I checked into Tao via Unilocal I received a free ginormous fortune cookie for dessert. It was filled with chocolate and vanilla mousse and very yummy. And because our waiter was so nice, he brought a second one free of charge with candles to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Very cool. She enjoyed it and it made her bday memorable-​and solidified my position as her coolest child.

We wanted to try this place out upon visiting Vegas because I loved all the Buddhist statues.
When we talked in, the place didn’t the seem crowded at all. The place was dimly lit with ponds full of water and rose petals. Quite nice. The restaurant was actually huge andbreally crowded upin walking further in. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and quickly seated.
Since I both weren’t too hungry due to going for dessert before hand at Serendipity, we just ordered the duck fried rice and chow mein noodles. They were both delicious and extremely filling. The ingredients were fresh and although the food was greasy, it didn’t make me feel all disgusting like most restaurants. The rice was my favorite. Tons of duck meat and vegetables. The noodles weren’t bad at all, but nothing too special.
Although the food was quite delicious, my favorite thing about Tao was the atmosphere. The Buddhist theme was present throughout the restaurant. There was a huge Buddha statue in the middle of the restaurant with other Buddhist statues along the walls and pillars. Even the table set up was awesome. I loved the entrance and the lighting.
When I return to Vegas, I will definitely come back here with much more of an appetite. The other dishes looked amazing as well.

The food was Good but not Great! The service was okay. We made the best of it, I took my cousin out for her birthday. We loved the Fortune cookie cake. It was awesome. I loved the chicken lollipop which I also had in New York.

Really amazing service.
Great table under «awning» it was slightly quieter. When we got in it was 80’s music. Gah. It changed later. Great knife display!
Split the Snapper on Sand. Great #artofpresentation & amazing seasoning of flash fried fresh fish… Lol!
Roasted chicken dish ok…
Did I say great service?
Hated to leave anything behind.

This place is a ton of fun and the food is good! Just don’t expect much in the way of awesome and friendly service because they don’t offer that here. This is our second time having eaten here and it was good. I doubt we’ll be back since there are tons of other places to try in Vegas that have better service. Get the big fortune cookie for dessert, you won’t be sorry!

Very pricey but it’s Vegas. Drinks was great and so were the appetizers. The gyoza and Tarter roll was very good, over priced still, but tasted very good. Selection of beer so only so-​so. Overall great, probably would not come back due to the other variety of options in Vegas to try out.
Décor was large and very good looking, modern and dark.

Came here on a girls trip and did the dinner/​bottle service bundle. There were 11 of us and we each paid about $ 160 for the 3 course meal. It was totally worth it! We got two bottles of Jameson
You have the option to choose your own three course meal OR you can do a family style dining where you get a large portion of EVERYTHING on the menu. We went with the family style and it was extremely worth it. We got huge portions of each course.
For appetizers we had the temple salad, sea bass, and chicken gyoza. The salad had to be my favorite of the three. The sea bass was also very delicious.
For the entrée we had the salmon, coconut shrimp, and orange chicken. I wasn’t a big fan of the salmon and i don’t think anyone else was either. The shrimp however was a big hit, i really enjoyed the size and the peanut curry glaze! I had about two of them and I was already full. The orange chicken had good flavor but it was really dry like the chicken was over cooked.
For dessert we got fried chocolate spring rolls, yoga sugar dusted donuts, and seasonal fresh fruit with mandarin ice cream! The fresh fruits came with kiwis, blueberries, mangoes, grapes, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries! The donuts were really good and tasted fresh. I wasn’t a big fan of the spring rolls with dark chocolate like inside.
After every course, the servers would come by and change our plates and utensils. The food came out quickly which is definitely a plus!
Overall, if you go with a group of friends I definitely recommend the dinner style! you get to try all the goodies AND it comes with huge portions!

Legitimately the WORST service I have ever had. I guess that’s what happens when you put a restaurant in the a club.
Free club entry is so not worth the jerk waiter we had.
Cost –way over priced.
Food – I got the coconut crusted shrimp which was actually pretty decent and id consider getting again (at a different restaurant). The $ 5 small side of brown rice seemed a bit unnecessary. Everyone else’s food was well below average. Orange chicken would be better at Panda Express. Egg roll appetizers were dry and better frozen.
Ambiance — incredibly culturally insensitive AND inaccurate. Not sure who’s idea it was to put a giant Buddha in a CLUB. But it was a bad one. The restaurant is also scattered with other décor from random unassociated eastern religions.
Overall would never be back and would never recommend!

I’m going to give 5 stars. I want to explain it all from start to finish. I made a boo boo on open table but Dru was so nice and since we arrived early he said peak would not be for another 30 min so we sat down immediately. my reservation was made for the one in New Jersey! Oops. So bad. I was just sitting there like omg «I never do this». Then up pops Jeffrey at table and he’s so nice and chipper. He made me feel at home and un rushed! For making boo boo on my reservation I think I may have got the best server in the house. He’s so awesome.
I also met one of the managers, Kong, he came by to check on me and he was very informative. I’ll remember his name like «King Kong» lol. Anyway so I’m eating and everything is delicious. Service is beyond great. I’m going to TAO nightclub again but Just to see what’s up. I’ll provide pics as I go but 5 stars for how they treated me and how delicious the food and service are.
I’m

This is a really fun place to go with a group of friends and the food was well-​liked by everyone in our 10-​person group — especially the ladies. A bit pricey, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.
When you have a large group, as we did, I would advise getting a lot of plates to share. You can always get more of anything you love. We started with sushi and moved on to Squab Lettuce Wraps and Satay Chicken, all of which was very tasty. Personally, I love dim sum and I felt the Crispy Pork Bao Buns to be about my favorite dish of the night. The Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass was probably the most popular dish among the group. Tao also has several Wagyu beef offerings and I haven’t found too much fault with any of them.
All in all, a great dinner in a great venue with plenty of ambiance. If the girls are having a good time, then I’m having a good time!

Great environment and awesome décor that totally fits in with their asian theme of spiritualness. The food was alright and for the value it wasn’t worth it. As most places are in Venetian it was very expensive but the quality wasn’t the best. If you want a nice restaurant with delicious reviews you should probably go outside the casino.
I got the shabu shabu filet mignon cooked in a ginger scallion broth with wasabi dipping sauce and the udon noodles with vegetable. The shabu shabu filet mignon was really good, though I don’t prefer my meat rare done they recommended cooking it in the broth for 3 — 5 minutes which made it way to well done. So I was able to cook it 30 seconds and it was the perfect texture and juiciness. I mixed the wasabi sauce with real wasabi and that made the sauce for the filet mignon even better. I enjoyed my main dish a decent amount and would give that a 4.5 /​5
I didn’t like the udon there was way too much salt and too much sauce, the sauce literally drenched the udon noodles and vegetables. The udon tasted very typical and nothing great, I’d rate the udon a 2 star.
Even though the ambience was really great our service wasn’t the best, the waitress didn’t seem to respect us (maybe because we were young) and not give us great attention nor was she the most polite.
Went with 11 people and most of the people didn’t enjoy their food because it was super expensive and the food was just average. If you want high-​class food you’ll want to try somewhere else.

Super lecker, stylisch und hervorragender Service. Laut ist es, muss man mögen. Aber alles scheint dort so zu sein…

De délicieux et énormes Sushi ainsi que de nombreux autres plats d’inspiration asiatique dans un décor fabuleux situé en plein cœur de Vegas!

Ich berichte über das Restaurant und nicht über den Night-​Club. Das super Stylische Ambiente ist wirklich einmalig und das Essen steht dem um nichts nach. Gute asiatische Küche, manchmal nicht allzu authentisch aber dennoch sehr schmackhaft wird hier serviert.
Es kann durchaus etwas lauter werden, was Freude auf de Night Club macht !

Das Tao Restaurant beim Hotelkomplex The Venetian gehört zusammen mit dem Tao Nightclub, wobei ich hier nur das Restaurant beurteilen kann. Die Hintergrundmusik im Restaurant macht auf jedenfall neugierig auf den Nightclub.
Megatolle Location, stylish eingerichtet bis ins Detail im Asia-​Stil mit riesigem Buddha und im Eingangsbereich mit Steinwannen mit Blüten im Wasser schwimmend.
Falls man nicht reserviert hat, bekommt man einen Pieper wie die Ärzte im Krankenhaus mit und wird angepiept, wenn ein entsprechender Tisch frei wird.
Von Sushi über gebratenen Reisbandnudeln, über Peking-​Ente gibt es hier alles, was dem Asia-​Fan gefallen kann.

Der Tao Club ist super stylish und hat auf dem Dach noch eine Dance und Chill out Area. Tolle Atmosphäre, allerdings fand ich 30 $ Eintritt für Männer doch ein bisschen happig, aber naja… Vegas halt :)
Man (n) sollte sich übrigens auch nicht auf die Podeste zum Tanzen verirren, da man sonst sehr schnell und sehr bestimmt darauf hingewiesen wird, dass Man (n) dort nichts zu suchen hat, da die für Frauen in knappen (!!) Minis reserviert sind. Naja einen Versuch war es trotzdem wert ;-)
