    Tao is such a beautiful lively restaurant and my go to for taking people from out of town. Last night they had a great price fixed dinner that was a good deal. We each got it and it was enough to share and bring food home. We had a great time --the drinks were great, and the energy was fantastic. Lots of good photo ops by the Buddha! I will be back again of course. Our waiter was helpful too with suggestions.

    If you are going to the theatre and want to eat close by this place is amazing. Only about a 5 minute walk to most Broadway shows it is the perfect place. Other Chinese restaurants in the area are packed but somehow this one is not and the food was so much better than the others. Maybe its the funkball location, across from the mess that is the Port Authority and tucked b/w a McDonalds and Burger King that turns people away…but once you taste the food you wont be sorry for braving the walk. Authentic Szechuan meals and a section in the back of the menu for “American Chinese” food…Might have been some of the best Chinese food I have ever had…that includes the China Town mainstay’s.
