The restaurant is set up like a night club, dimly lit

1/5 by Carlos T. on 04/02/2022

The restaurant is set up like a night club, dimly lit lights. I can dig it for a bar, but restaurant ehh. But let's focus on the service and the food, I made a reservation in advance. I walk in let the hostess know I am here I am given a buzzer and told to wait in a section with overly priced drinks. After 15mins When my buzzer rings I walk up to the Hostess. Another lady is assigned to walk us to our table I advise her that I'll be right back needed to close my tab at the bar, my wife lets her know that she needs to use the rest room being that we were told there aren't any rest rooms upstairs. I come back and the lady is no where insight. I wait for my wife and then walk up stairs. I see a gentleman who resembles the lead to Maroon 5. I told him that a lady was escorting us to the table but disappeared he tells me she should be downstairs did you look for her? I said she wasn't where I last saw her why would I be on the hunt for someone who's job is to seat people? Mind you I made reservations for the "Tao Experience" he calls down and seats us in an open table. We then have a waiter real chill guy no personality per say, but he takes our order two apps and my meal wife light eater just her meal. 10mins in the apps come, then 10after that the meal comes. The meals, and the service alone isn't worth the price this place charges. No body that works there knows what's the Tao Experience and the place is literally just earning because people are fascinated with taking pics of being there because celebrities be there. We need to get back to appreciating quality. Not just crap that's made and then slapped with a hefty price tag because of the real estate. Honestly it was a disappointment and was really expecting more. COVID isn't the reason why things are failing or business are shutting down. The customer service aspect of things are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Need to re-implement the importance of customer service and ask your employees about purpose. Hope Tao downtown does better I'll book at a later date.

Started out very poorly.

2/5 by Tarun G. on 04/02/2022

They had some strange event, hence had people waiting outside the restaurant. Then when we arrived 30 mins later, they had cancelled our reservation. Extremely Rude hostess.Finally, a manager, Edwin, tried to salvage the situation. Seated us and our server was decent. We had a bunch of cocktails, followed by appetizers (shrimp tempura, shishito peppers) which were ok. For entrees, we had the octopus, pad Thai and spare ribs (all were generally decent, nothing stellar). For desert, we had the banana pudding which was pretty good. Overall, very poor attitude and show in terms of service. 1 star. Food would be 3.5 stars. So giving it 2 overall. If my parents weren't regulars I would never suggest going back.

Great late lunch/early dinner

4/5 by Matthew W on 03/28/2022

We had a late lunch/ early dinner before a concert and as such the restaurant was a lot quieter and altogether more civilised than our last visit. It was still busy enough but the service and food were excellent. The kung po chicken would have fed 4! Really enjoyed this visit

This was my 1st time visiting New York & definitely TAO.

5/5 by Toy K. on 03/20/2022

The ambiance was absolutely amazing as well as the music. When you 1st walk in on the ground floor, you can sit at the bar and have a few drinks or get escorted by the waitress upstairs to get seated. We had reservations so we instantly got seated. The food was absolutely amazing!

😍

Everytime I ve gone with family or friends.

5/5 by Shanta W. on 03/19/2022

I found the service and food to be excellent everytime I ve gone. Be prepared to spend a good amount of money but it worth it.

🙂

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing ambiance.

4/5 by Des O. on 03/19/2022

The wait time is very long even with a reservation. The third floor has a great view of the oversized Buddha and the second floor has a beautiful area where you can take photos. On the main floor the Buddha is the main view. The food was good took a long time to come out, but we were distracted by the amazing DJ.

Truly the greatest dining experience I have ever had and I

5/5 by Marie G. on 03/18/2022

Truly the greatest dining experience I have ever had and I have very high standards. From the service to the food, everything was impeccable! The physical space was also really beautiful with intricate wood carvings, stunningly high ceilings and gorgeous exposed brick walls. And our server Talia was incredible and made us feel like VIPs. Talia was also super knowledgeable about the ingredients in each dish since we were a group with many super specific dietary restrictions, and she was beyond kind and patient with us. I will absolutely be coming back! Thanks Tao Uptown!!

🤮

The most unnecessarily overpriced take out I've ever had.

1/5 by Lara F. on 03/16/2022

Who makes pad thai with udon noodles and charges $26. And they put shrimp in a chicken pad thai near well killed me. I mean yeah there may be shrimp in pad thai, but put it in the description then! Shheeesh. Nothing was good, truly.

😒

It's truly not the same anymore and I understand we're

3/5 by Ashley R. on 03/14/2022

It's truly not the same anymore and I understand we're trying to get back to a new normal. Our waiter seemed disinterested in our table while we were dining. I understand it was just two of us and maybe an early seating but it just felt like a lackluster experience. The food was decent but definitely overpriced for what you are offered. I had chicken pad thai, my date ordered pork lo mein. He had one drink and I had water - our bill was $70. Also if you are seeking a reservation through Opentable, there is a request of $20 that is taken off of your bill at the end.

😍

My first time here was nine years ago and hubby and I

5/5 by Pearl M. on 03/13/2022

My first time here was nine years ago and hubby and I Visited this location Valentines Day Weekend to celebrate - made a reservation about a month in advance and you had to put down $20 to hold your spot which was taken off the bill. Parking in the city is always ridiculous but there is a parking garage right up the block which was walkable with heels. They checked Vaccine cards at the door but didn't ask for ID soooooo yeah. We got there on time but still had to wait about 20 mins to be seated. There is a lounge/bar area right when you walk in which was pretty tight and basically told us COVID didn't exist there lol it was very busy in there on Saturday Evening. We sat upstairs and took a while for the waitress to come over but once all the orders were in everything came out promptly. The music was great , it was definitely a vibe with the low lighting and all. I would come back here over and over again! We had the shrimp tempura rolls, salmon, and another seafood dish I forgot.

🙂

A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

4/5 by Elle M. on 03/12/2022

Truly from the first person to the last was friendly and so pleasant. Such a nice experience. Food was delicious, cocktails tasted great however a bit weak. The atmosphere was beautiful. Just a pleasant time, shout out to Tyler who made our dinner really lovely!

🙂

I really like Tao.

4/5 by Makenzie S. on 03/10/2022

The Lychee martini was so good and very strong. All of the food we got was amazing. Not one thing tasted bad. I think one of my favorites was the Shishito peppers. I give it 4 abs not five because the service wasn't great and they were out of almost every wine we wanted.

🙂

If you're trying to go to the club but simultaneously want

4/5 by Alicia O. on 03/09/2022

If you're trying to go to the club but simultaneously want delicious food, go here. We had a great time!I don't suggest this place for date night unless you are having a group date. Groups seem to be better suited for this lively atmosphere. There was an amazing DJ Saturday night playing mostly 2000s hip-hop which is one of my favorite genres. It was really crowded so of course you'll need a reservation and come dressed to impress!So, the food was incredible. Our small group order was perfect and everything came out hot and fresh. The drinks weren't really strong, would have preferred a heavier hand when pouring those but they tasted delicious. Service was a tiny bit slow but it was CROWDED so I get that part. Our server was super accommodating and friendly. Overall, I'd highly recommend to anyone feeling like a fun night out with friends. Enjoy!

😍

Wonderful experience and nothing short of my expectations.

5/5 by Monique M. on 02/27/2022

Let me start by saying, I absolutely love the Tao brand of restaurants. From my first experience in Las Vegas, to this moment, I have loved many of their restaurants. In fact, I named my dog 'Tao' after the club/restaurant in Vegas. That should tell you how much I love this place. For my birthday this year, I wanted to treat myself to a meal at Tao Uptown. I've always frequented the downtown location, so it was time to switch it up. Even better, it was restaurant week so I got a pre-fixed meal for $29! I visited on a Wednesday around 4pm. They require reservations for parties of 2 or more. I went solo, so its basically first come, first serve or sit at the bar. I lucked out and got seated immediately at a cozy table close to the entrance. It was a great seat that allowed me a view of the entire room including the beautiful buddha statue. The ambience was calm and not too loud with great top 40 music. Little did I know that it was still lunch time, so dinner is likely busier. For my meal, I started with the crispy vegetable rolls. I received them fresh and crispy. The filling seemed to be seasoned shredded cabbage and carrots. They were also served with a sweet plum or duck sauce. It paired very well with the rolls. For the main course, I opted for the crispy orange chicken and bok choy. I also ordered white rice (sold separately). Very delicious and served piping hot. The orange sauce is not overbearing, its a subtle citrus tang. I did not care too much for the bok choy tho. It looks great on the plate in contrast to the orange chicken, but it needed some seasoning. It tasted like crunchy water. As if they just steamed it and placed on the plate. Although that might work for some, I like a little garlic or butter on my bok choy. To end my meal on a bang, I ordered a scrumptious round of their banana pudding. The banana pudding is unique in that it features banana pudding topped with crushed fortune cookies and a tempura banana. I do not like the tempura banana so much, but everything else is really soooo delicious. It isn't overly sweet and the consistency is smooth and light. The crushed fortune cookies also add a nice crunch. I did not have any special drinks/cocktails.Services was wonderful. All of the staff were kind, attentive, and friendly. I don't remember my server's name however, she was very sweet. Food came out in a decent amount of time. The decor is asian inspired. You may find yourself looking around trying to take in the views and sights of it all. Even the bathroom is beautifully decorated and consistent with the asian theme. It was also very clean. Unlike the Tao downtown location, there was no bathroom attendant. Overall, I had a serene birthday at Tao Uptown filled with great food and service. Its a great place for afterwork dinner, date night, or celebration. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend to others.

😍

Loved loved loved the ambiance, the food and the service.

5/5 by Nimi T. on 02/26/2022

The sushi and sashimi was so good and fresh. I wish I remembered our server's name but he was really nice to us, he was very polished on the menu and drinks and explained it well. I would definitely recommend this place.

Peanut & Tree nut Allergy friendly

5/5 by Brooklyn278 on 02/25/2022

We are always looking for the hidden food gems in NY, but we can never go wrong with TAO Uptown. Eating at these large trendy restaurants is an experience but sometimes food and service suffer. Not At TAO’S. We have been dining here for many years and it is never a disappointment.

If you are not aware, TAO is an Asian fusion style restaurant with a Thai flare. With that being said, eating out can be a challenge with a severe nut allergy. Since TAO’s has a lot of peanut sauce, you would think it is not wise to eat here.

Well, I have to disagree, every time we tell the server about our allergy nothing gets ordered until we get an okay from the kitchen. The servers go above and beyond to understand our allergy and list the items we can order and if another person in the party orders something with nuts the server will make us aware of it.

My favorite is when the dessert menu is presented and the server without letting us look at the menu tells us each item that we can order which is safe.

The food is always consistent, presented well and of course delicious. Reservations are not easy to get but it is worth the wait.

YUK! The food tasted like it was from the frozen food

1/5 by Devon S. on 02/24/2022

YUK! The food tasted like it was from the frozen food section of the supermarket - and not even fully warmed up. I had the duck (cold and rubbery) and the bok choy (which was swimming in some gooey, slightly rancid sauce). Upon arriving, the hostess couldn't find our reservation and actually got a little abusive.I have the sense that this restaurant is for tourists. New Yorkers would never accept this slop.Save your money and your stomach...and go elsewhere!

🤢

Very bad service

2/5 by larissa x on 02/19/2022

I had a very bad experience starting when I got to the place, I waited almost 1 hour to sit and I had a reservation for 9:30 the time I was on the table was 10:20pm.
After that, the waiter was very very very rude with me, I asked him a question and he pointed to the menu saying, didn’t you read? It’s here.
I don’t recommend this place and I’ll never come back!

🙂

4/5 by Kaveta B. on 02/15/2022

The real star of the show is the tuna tartare which is spicy tuna on top of crispy rice. 10/10. Everything else was okay. We got the filet mignon and it was just pieces of beef with barely any vegetables and was pretty salty. The ambiance of the restaurant is worth the price but I don't recommend the "filet mignon". My local Chinese restaurant makes better beef stir fry. The martinis are good. I would recommend the lychee martini. ($20)

🙂

4/5 by Alexis F. on 02/11/2022

This was great for a super fun night out with my girlfriends! The cocktails were on point, and so was our server! We sat in the lounge area and had our meal there, but honestly that was great, and felt so relaxed. They were able to seat us even though we were walk ins on a Saturday night and the place was packed!We had the pad thai, pork fried rice, and lo mein as entrees, and our appetizers were the edamame, shishito peppers, and pork gyoza. All of it was delicious!

🤮

Service is so bad, food takes forever to come.

Only the fried rice was good. And the dessert but it took forever.

1/5 by Cristina F. on 02/04/2022

My husband and I ordered in from TAO uptown and this is what came in our dish - a CRICKET. How does something like this happen? Our entire meal was ruined and we were so disgusted by this that we tossed everything out. To add insult to injury, we didn't even get a refund on our meal! We complained and sent a photo to Uber eats and received a partial refund. Needless to say, TAO lost a customer. Very disappointed in their service and lack of commitment to customers.

😒

You pay for the ambience and location. Food is average

3/5 by Shivalax on 01/09/2022

Nice decor and very good service. Food was average. For instance the few pieces of the Kung Pao chicken was nice and moist & few were hard. Salmon was good and so were the spare ribs. The chicken with Lettuce was bit off. U pay for the ambience & location and not for the food.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer 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!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer 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.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer 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.
