TAO Downtown Restaurant
Chilean Sea Bass
Crispy Tuna on Rice
Lobster Fried Rice
Satay Skewers
Chicken Gyoza
Peking Duck
Miso-glazed and wok-seared, the sea bass arrives with a caramelized crust and a buttery, flaking interior — the most consistently praised dish on the menu.
Seared blocks of crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and a slick of sriracha aioli — a TAO staple that delivers satisfying crunch and heat in one bite.
Wok-fried rice with lobster meat and scallions
Chicken or beef skewers with a peanut dipping sauce — a reliable crowd-pleaser that works well as a shared starter for large tables.
Pan-seared chicken dumplings with dipping sauce
A tableside carving presentation adds theater to this classic — the skin is lacquered and crisp, served with pancakes and hoisin, though the duck itself can be uneven depending on the night.
Orange Chicken
Crispy chicken in sweet and tangy orange glaze
Sashimi Selection
Competently sourced and cleanly cut, the sashimi is fresh and presentable but lacks the precision and sourcing of a dedicated omakase counter — fine for a group, not a destination.
Miso Cod
Black cod glazed with sweet white miso
Wok-Fried Lobster
A large-format showpiece dish with garlic and ginger — impressive on the table and decent in flavor, though the sauce can overwhelm the lobster at times.
Signature Cocktails
The bar program leans into Asian-inspired infusions — lychee, yuzu, and ginger feature prominently — and the drinks are well-made, if pricey, and suit the theatrical setting.
Edamame Dumplings
Delicate steamed dumplings with a bright edamame filling — one of the lighter, more refined bites on the menu and a good vegetarian option.
