    ✨CRAZIEST ALL YOU CAN EAT BRUNCH BUFFET IN LA WITH SUSHI, A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN, AND MORE✨ You might know TAO from their restaurants, clubs, or clubstaurants. But their latest venture is, in my opinion, their best one yet. This is the new Endless Brunch at their Hollywood location, where for $75/person you can get unlimited sushi, ramen, carvery, and dessert from the buffet PLUS unlimited dishes from the kitchen at no extra charge. While there are some special supplemental items on the menu, you’ll be more than satisfied just sticking to everything that’s included like I did — and maybe a couple of drinks (bottomless or otherwise). For the amount and quality of the food, I think this is one of the best AYCE deals in Los Angeles, and I’d highly recommend it for everything from a celebratory meal to just your normal big backtivities. Here’s everything you need to know: 📍TAO LA: 6421 Selma Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028 🗓️ Sundays 11a-2:30p 💸 $75/person And here’s everything I tried (⭐️ = personal fave): 🍣 Sushi Buffet ⭐️ 🍜 Tonkotsu Ramen 🥩 Korean Marinated Sirloin ⭐️ 🧇 Chicken Waffle ⭐️ 🥞 Japanese Pancake ⭐️ 🍳 Breakfast Bao Buns ⭐️ 🍚 Crispy Wok Fried Eggs 🥟 BBQ Pork Bao Buns 🐟 Grilled Branzino 🍫 Dessert Buffet ⭐️ 🍸 Lychee Martini $23 ⭐️ 🍓 TAO-tini $23 🍹 Tongue Thai’d $21 🍵 Matcha Made in Heaven $25 ⭐️ Send this to someone you wanna go with, and follow me for more LA restaurant reviews, recommendations, and things to do! #losangeles #lafoodie #thingstodoinla #brunch #allyoucaneat

    What a beautiful restaurant. Just astoundingly gorgeous. I can't believe I hadn't been here sooner. The music was a little loud (but great music), as we were sitting right under a speaker, but you might enjoy that! The food was just exceptional. The service was exceptional, and the prices seemed really reasonable. Had the most remarkable margarita I think I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend this place.

    Nili, thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you found us and that the space, food, and service all left such an impression. We appreciate you sharing the music feedback too, and we hope you'll come back to see us again soon.

    Server was amazing! Food was sub par to be completely honest. Lighting was way too much. Clearly there was an issue going on…but fluorescent flood lighting was not great. Host stand was fantastic and got us seated without a huge wait. Other than the lighting and food being not great it was an okay experience!
    TAO Asian Bistro - Los AngelesResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Madison. We're glad our server and host team made your visit feel welcome and got you seated quickly. We're sorry the food didn't meet your expectations and that the lighting wasn't comfortable for your evening. We've passed your comments along to our team so we can keep improving. We hope to have the chance to show you a better experience next time.

    I loved it brunch was amazing. I died alone and was still serve family size portions. That’s the only thing I would change about it because I didn’t need such large portions and they cut me off because they knew that I couldn’t finish everything that I ordered.
    TAO Asian Bistro - Los AngelesResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you so much for dining with us at TAO, and we're thrilled you loved brunch! It's wonderful to hear Gabi took great care of you. Your feedback about portion sizes for guests dining solo is helpful, and we'll share it with our team. We hope to welcome you back soon.
