$$$$ • Cantonese • Midtown East
I hadn’t been to TAO in quite a while, and my return made for a great night out. The ambiance was just as memorable as I remembered, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. Even servers covering other sections stopped by to check on me, a thoughtful touch that made me feel well taken care of.
The wasabi honey sauce served with my Shrimp Tempura Roll was a standout. It was so good I could practically drink it! I also paired it with my sashimi, including the toro, and enjoyed every bite. My waiter’s recommendation of the Brooklyn sake was another highlight.
Between the atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food and sake, it was a great experience from start to finish.
