Best Chinese food in NYC and wonderful service. A bit pricey, but along with the tab you get that great ambience—low lighting, artifacts on the wall. My favorite dish, the baby eggplant, was perfection served with brown rice. The cold sesame noodles were killer. My fellow diners raved about the fried rice. Orange beef was hot and generously sized but had a bit of an off taste. Almost $300 for the three of us, but $90 of that was wine. Yeah, we’re boozers.

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.
