    I'm so in love with chow mein. It's the one thing I know I can order when I've had enough rice, and never regret that I'll attain satisfaction. The ambience of TAO restaurant is decent. Nothing to complain about. I like the fact that you get your food in a container you can reuse. You can eat and leave food remaining to carry home without hesitation. Resultantly the food prices is up there, but hey! Nothing wrong with paying for quality.

    I think they are going out off business soon. The place looks deplorable.

    So... I happ'n upon this lil Chinese restaurant(Tao) on a visit to Kingston... Had Cane juice with ginger... It was quiet refreshing... Came at a time when they were having customer appreciation so I got a complimentary bottled water.... Bought beef chop suey for ma self and sweet and sour chicken for my girlfriend.... The ambience was rather quaint.... The staff was pleasant and efficient... If I'm every this side I think I'll be back.... Hopefully they'll get to a 5 star next time..Won't say why only 2 🌟 this time.. 😊😊😁... *the gf said don't give any trouble*

    The food prices are affordable. The Dining area is pretty basic. The staff is somewhat respectful.The Bathroom is terrible, smells foul. The odor attacks your nose upon entrance. The bathroom carries most weight on my rating it needs to improved. The bathroom is also labeled "Washroom". i found that weird.

    Customer service was okay. The food didn't take long to be ready however, the second mistake was not checking the food before I left the restaurant (the first was going there in the first place). I ordered shrimp chop suey and when I opened the food, I saw no shrimp. I skimmed through the pok Choi and realized that they cut up the shrimp. I doubt I received 4 shrimps for the $850. I was very disappointed. I will not go to this restaurant again.

    TAO is now on the WORST RESTAURANT List for me..... The only reason there is a star is because it is required to post this comment. I bought Lunch from them Today 7/2/2019, and there was small bugs all over the Roast Chicken!!!! I purchased the food at 1:13pm and after receiving the food and heading back to my office (see photos below of bugs i had to remove from the chicken) Can you imagine how many people bought that today???............ Now its 3:03 at the time of the post and my stomach hurts!..... @CONSUMERAFFAIRS Where are you and what are you doing?

    Food taste great and serving is large; ideal combination of quality and quantity. Nice ambience as well. Good lunch spot

    Not the best... Or the better but it's usually empty... Stick to chicken and you should be fine

    This place has gotten better with time If you had a bad experience in the past its definitely worth the retry

    I bought a large food and I was not able to get gravy BecuSe the Chinese lady said I cannot get the gravy with a LARGE food. So I had to eat the dry rice and it was not enjoyable. The interior is nice and clean but the cost and quality of food doesn’t justify the price

    Alright. It's a love hate relationship. Very inconsistent with everything and the customer service has a lot of room for improvement. The food is more affordable than most places but the serve size is also not standard, sometimes worth your money othrr times you regret it. It seems clean enough. Because I don't have many other choices so I'll stick to when I'm short on $$

    Last minute, quick on the go lunch fix....most times ok but there are those off days with some meals...wait time is not extensive. Garlic shrimp with noodles is good and so is the special chow mein.

    Disgusting that is what can be said about the bathroom at Tao. And it has nothing to do with the workers doing a poor job. This is all on management. I wish they would see the issue and quit peering over the workers shoulders while giving them disgusted looks and spend the money required to bring the bathroom up to standards.

    A buzz of activity which delayed service. Reasonable priced food choices

  • 3/5 Mysti D. 5 years ago on Google
    Not one of the most courteous restaurants. The restaurant owner and their employees tend to be hostile. Also, their food tends to fluctuates in consistency. Sometimes its really good and then at other times its just BLAHHH. I guess i should have know because there is never a line when I go and the seats are empty.

πŸ‘ I'll start by saying, the food is worth every dollar!!! Minus the grease. Had the steamed wantons. An acquiring taste but okay. Vegetable spring rolls were great and the mala chicken- amazing.. spices just right. Servings are large so be careful not to order too much for 1 person. Ambiance is okay (...
