TAO Restaurant and Bar SYDNEY

Excellent Cantonese Cuisine in the heart of Sydney CBD. I ordered the Pot stickers and the three cup chicken hot pot. The pot stickers were excellent- freshly cooked, crunchy base, and juicy. The hot pot was also very tasty. The service was fast polite and attentive. Would definitely come again.

There are about six vegetarian dishes, and I highly recommend Baby Spinach for its ultra smooth, silky texture. Staff are friendly with great atmosphere. Close to QVB. Booking recommended.

It’s great to see a modern Chinese doing well in Sydney and we had a pleasant experience. The decor is nice but the atmosphere was chaotic. Seats are tightly packed and diners were sitting too close to the next table. The food was nice but the flavours wasn’t really hitting the spot. The Salt u0026 Pepper Prawn u0026 Squid and the Dried Tossed Green Beans with XO Sauce were fine. As with the Crispy Skin Shandong Chicken with Pineapple, we thought it was interesting when we ordered, but the execution was a miss the pineapple did not go well with the black vinegar and added heavy handed sweetness to the dish. We much prefer the original ginger and shallots version. The service was friendly and nice from the lady who served us but wasn’t from the one greeting us at the door. Definitely worth a try but I hope they improve in time.

Initially thought this place would be more of a western take of Cantonese cuisines, but evidently not. The dishes are authentic and very tasty and approved by my cantonese friends. The menu offers a good variety of meat, seafood and vegetarian selections, which showcases some of the most iconic cantonese dishes. The plum duck is a must-try, really rich in flavour and roasted to perfection, the plum sauce uplifted the taste to next level. The wagyu beef with black truffle, pumpkin and wild mushroom is also one of our favourites. And of course, the fried rice would never be a disappointment and merits a visit alone. Serving portion is quite generous and good for sharing, very friendly owner and staff. Great place for family or friends gathering overall.

Went here for lunch with friends. The restaurant vibe is lovely, I really liked the high ceilings with the natural light from the sunroof. Good was great too. We had dumplings, the fish which I really recommend, and the crispy noodles with duck. The serving is quite big. For the mains, one plate can cater to 4 people. Staff were friendly and accomodating. The service was efficient and well timed. Will go back again for sure.

I had a wonderful experience at Tao Restaurant. The service was incredibly welcoming, and the food was truly outstanding. I'm definitely planning to visit again soon!

I have great experience in this restaurant. The decor inside is pretty cool with some tradition Chinese characters and poetry hanging on the wall. The foods are delicious. Ordered the Jade Tofu, Wagyu beef, seafood fried rice and fish maw soup, they are all well cooked. The service is excellent and manager is regularly checking in to gather feedback and engage with you. Will definitely come back again!

Really loved this Cantonese/Asian fusion style restaurant with lovely decor and very pleasant staff. We had a very early dinner but they were quite busy by the time we left. All of our chosen dishes were delicious especially the pork belly, tofu eggplant, wood ears with chilled cucumber. Amazing flavours. The perch with ginger and shallot is a dish I often order at similar style restaurants and I found the fish a little tough and not quite as good as I have had before. Nevertheless I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful and tasty meal with lots of interesting and fresh flavours. 4.6 ⭐️ Returned to this restaurant with my running buddy the evening of the Sydney marathon and we were not disappointed. The eggplant starter was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our scallops with fois gras and mushrooms and scallops with peas and asparagus. Deliciously tasty and healthy. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I will definitely return yet again. 🥢🤩😋
