Reviews

Food is authentic Chinese. We tried Sichuan peppercorn chicken, stir fry cauliflower, wok fried green beans and salted egg shrimp. All yummy.
Stephen O.
This is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I've been to. The cumin lamb was incredibly tender, and the pork intestines were amazing.
Gryphon H.
The food was very delicious, every dish was full of authentic flavors. The menu had a great variety, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations.
Jiaqi W.
Just ate here for the first time and it will for sure not be our last visit to Tao. The space is beautiful, the service was great and the food is out of this world.
William F.
One of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in Austin! Everything was delicious, but the standout dish was the seafood tofu clay pot. I’ll definitely come back!
Felix L.
Food came out really quick and all the food was great. Service was excellent. Looking forward to going back for our next trip there. Highly recommend!
