Tao

Tao is expensive (considering NY is the land of food trucks). Don’t expect very intense flavors (in my opinion). To me, the food is Asian but made with ‘western’ ingredients, I’m not too sure if I consider that really fusion. The two items that stood out for me was this orange chicken which tasted really like the Chinese sweet and sour pork so I would give the restaurant credit for making this so good. Also enjoyed the lobster and shrimp spring roll which was generous w the ingredients.

The place was so packed, made it difficult for conversation but it seemed like THE place to be seen/ hanging out in because I saw the place featured in Sex in the city episode lol! In short, be well dressed, enjoy yourself with a cocktail and enjoy the hip ambience the place provides.
