TAO Downtown Restaurant New York Reviews from The Last Year
💯
The prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service you receive.
💯
I'm happy to say that this restaurant has become one of my go-to spots for any occasion.
Above average
I feel it was good but slightly overrated
Incredible ambience
I was blown away. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an awesome atmosphere and exquisite interiors that set the perfect tone for the evening. The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance was truly impressive.

The place looks great but the food is sub par.
It takes at best average. The presentation is good. But the food doesnt taste alll that. Very overpriced. Not worth the money. Tastes bland.

Really awesome spot, an icon of NYC.
Excellent food, beautiful ambiance, and actually good pricing/value. We paid $160 for two people (plus $45 drink tab) and I felt it was a great value.Salmon was probably the best I've ever had. Sauce was insane and the texture was perfect. Loved the veggie egg rolls, crunchy and super steamy. Pad thai was funky, crunchy and delicious. Sushi was fresh. I liked the broccoli (black bean sauce) but my wife didn't love it. Drinks were fantastic. Perfectly mixed Mojito. Super spiced mango/chili tequila martini. They are around $20/each but worth it.Service was quick but took a while to get our check. Place turns into a club late at night. We gotta go back!
Beautiful restaurant with a nightclub.
Must be visited at least once. The service was good. We did not have a reservation and were asked to wait in the lounge. The wait was not too long -- we just got our drink at the bar and then we were seated. The music was nice and not too loud, so we could have a normal conversation. As to the food... It was good but not great. We ordered short ribs and spicy tuna sushimi for an appetizer and snapper for the main course. While everything was fresh and edible we were not impressed with the taste.The dessert was wonderful: we ordered a giant fortune cookie.

Tao was a very unprofessional and authoritarianism
Tao was a very unprofessional and authoritarianism experience. They were 30 minutes late to their reservation time. The only reason why I got seated was because I confronted them about their tardiness and then was immediately seated. My date, had misplaced her ID and I could only show my ID for drinks. They limited the amount of drinks I could have. And they didn't allow me to share my drinks. My money should be welcomed at their establishment and I felt discriminated for this. Maybe because I am Latino and not of Caucasian appearance that my integrity and money was questioned. To add insult to injury , I then asked to have my drink with no ice and they served my drink to 1/2 the amount of the cup. Whah an insult. I was totally treated as a child. I do not recommend this place unless you are of white complexion. They show no respect to people of color.
When I first was proposed the idea of going to Tao it
When I first was proposed the idea of going to Tao it didn't make much since to me as a country boy because 40$ for orange chicken!? But I went anyways when I got there and tried some of the food I realized it was worth the price tag. I would definitely recommend the Mongolian beef, Molten chocolate cake,crispy orange chicken,temple salad,and wagyu beef yakitori.
Place is really trendy, great vibes, delicious menu.
I definitely recommend this place for dates, groups or even to try it out.
Ruined a Birthday Dinner
10 Friends and I went to the restaurant on on Friday, Feb. 24th. It was the worst experience I ever had in a restaurant. From the minute we arrived, the hostess said with an attitude don't forget you have to be finished by 10 PM we told her we know that. As soon as we sat down the server wanted to know what we wanted to order, we didn't even get a chance to look at the menu. At 9 PM we were still finishing our dinner and they started clearing the table. We had brought a Birthday cake for one of our friends, the server bought out the sliced cake before some of us were not finished with dinner. The slices were slivers.They never bought out the rest of the cake for us to take home. We should have insisted they give us the rest of the cake. The best part is that the next day one of our friends called to asked had we liked the drinks. He called the restaurant and over the phone he paid for 10 drinks for us.. We never received them. This place is total RipOff
Stopped by here Sat night for my friend Kola's pre birthday
Stopped by here Sat night for my friend Kola's pre birthday dinner! I always wanted to go to TAO and I finally made it and it was worth it. From the ambiance to the Omakase.. it was excellent. My one drawback is that I felt we were a bit too far away from the huge Quan Yin statue at the front and my friends had to walk all the way over to take pictures! Overall amazing! Must try!
A bit overrated and overpriced (even for a work expensed
A bit overrated and overpriced (even for a work expensed dinner), but the ambience and service were good and a select number of dishes were tasty. There was a horrible sewage odor throughout the restaurant, which they tried to mask with scented candles, killing the mood and appetite. If you don't mind that, it's a decent place for large groups and dates.
The best restaurant in NYC!!
Great food and even better service by Darius. Visit here every time we come to NYC, it’s that good! Cocktails are super.
No doubt this remains quite the scene on a Saturday night,
No doubt this remains quite the scene on a Saturday night, so if you go be prepared for crowds and a very hip crowd! Amazing how "hot" this place continues to be. It had been years since I was here and while the space is amazing, we were sadly disappointed in the food. Going in, you have to know this is going to cost you some $$$$ so be prepared! But for what they charge, I would expect the food to be a lot better than it was. The beef short rib was tender but extremely salty. The chicken satay was awful! The peanut sauce was tasteless and the chicken itself I can only describe as pieces of grizzle. The biggest disappointment was the $48 piece of miso cod...for $48, this piece of fish was tiny and lacked any real flavor. The only thing saving me from giving this 2 stars were the drinks, the Hong Kong fried noodles which were very good and the music!I expect a lot more from my food when I am paying these prices....
Family meal
I was really disappointed with the whole experience. The restaurant aesthetic is incredible, but that's it,it looks amazing and trades on appearances in my view. We had a fantastic table,with a great view of the restaurant. In fairness, we had nice starter's ,but very expensive. The mains were basic if I'm being generous, One main sent back ,and replaced later on in the meal. This was poor, and no acknowledgement from the restaurant when the 2nd version was left almost uneaten. This is clearly the place to be, but I'm interested in the food, and in my opinion, the restaurant was average at best, charging exorbitant prices. I won't be back, not that they'll care, no one asked..very disappointing, many better options available in NY at a fraction of the cost.
Disappointing food for such a big brand
Having heard so much about this place and the demand to get a booking. I was left disappointed with average food, dry edamame, cauliflower sides were not great, chow fun was good and duck fried rice was slightly over seasoned but ok. Pack erm and stack erm venue.
Wow factor when you walk in, but loud loud loud
This restaurant is huge, I can see how it turns into a nightclub. The design is great and the music was fabby but much too loud for a dining experience!! No issues when it’s a nightclub but we struggled to give our orders or converse.. Having said that the food was delicious and so much choice !The price is hefty but everything in New York is now insanely priced.. The couples tables are also quite tightly packed together which I’m not a fan of.. We enjoyed our evening as it was a very different kind of experience. If you’re going as a couple or friends who want to chat … good luck when that..
Awesome example!!
It was a excellent option for a Friday night in NYC!! The is a mix of restaurant with disco! And the food was delicious also the drinks!! Service could be better but it's worth!! The Banana Pudding desert is special!! 😍

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
