We come so often...not only because it is crazy flavorful...not only because it is very affordable but we can usually get a seat because they have not been featured on a food show...yet.

Tom Joswig

Try the Mango chicken as it's noting but perfection. I'm in love with food coma again. That's definitely the best Asian food I've ever had.

Michael T

Try the Oyster Mushrooms - With a sizzling black bean sauce and wild rice . Sauce has excellent flavor and a 5 on hotness scale is a 10 most other places..... This was amazing

@SDWIFEY

Complimentary salad and ice cream ! MUST try the homemade soy milk . Do the Lemongrass Chicken !

Aaron Studt

Awesome food! Be careful with the Spicy Scale - I like spicy food and went with a 4 and ended up sweating and clearing my sinuses!

Michael T

Try the Yakitori - With Tofu . Tofu is homemade here with incredible texture and crunch. Vegetables had great freshness as well

Charlene Clingman

Love Tao! Best homemade tofu and yummy treats! Vegan or meat eaters there's something for everyone. (typical wait on weekends but well worth it!)

Lysle S

Soy Thai tea is amazing! They make their own soy milk .

Jessica Geiszler

This is the real deal when it comes to spice. A 6 here is like a 9 everywhere else!

Matt Gage

Recommend the Mango Chicken . Complementary salad and ice cream is a nice touch.

Tami Baribeau

Amazing vegan food , great tofu .

Dave Ambrose

The tofu here is amazing. I like all the food I've had here The food delivery can be very slow, so bring a friend or a book .

Wendy Garcia

Tofu spring rolls and vegetarian pho are to die for. super yummy

Robert Burdine

It's all about the Mango Rice Chicken . A 7 is a good balance of spice and flavor

Steve

The Garlic Chicken is delicious. Super spicy . You're gonna love it!

Ramya K.

They offered a delicious complimentary house salad with fresh tofu and raspberry dressing . Yum!

R Tsao

Incredible house made tofu and great, fast service

Ryan Siu

House chicken curry for me and vermicelli with spring rolls (spicy #3) for the girl!!

Conor Mclaughlin

The mango chicken is AMAZING! And the garlic chicken wings are equally great.

Tiffany Thomson

Stuffed tofu , eggplant and peppers dish with brown rice rocks and is super spicy !

Mark D

Heed the heat warnings. A 3 is still fairly spicy , if you have low tolerance do 1 or 0. A 3 is like medium spicy elsewhere.

Steve

Eat here. The snapper hot pot is my new favorite

Michael T

Try the black cherry ice cream - with Mango and Strawberry syrups

Melodie Tao

Delicious Vegan menu with a plethora of flavorful options and they generously offer a complimentary appetizer/salad AND dessert to every party!

Keith Darce

CAUTION: Make sure you double check your pickup order before leaving. I just had to drive all the way back here from home because they gave me the wrong one.

Danielle

The fried tofu is great and filling. Yumm.

Niken

Tofu rolls. Too good for words. I know.. plain ol' tofu rolls? Just trust me.

Desirae

The "lamb " here is the best I've ever had.

Gabriela Brecke

Best pho I've had. Wild salmon rice pot is sooo good!

Justin Burns

This venue has changed its name due to a conflict. It is now Dao Fu.

Jessie Balcacer

Fried tofu is amazing!

Jennifer Van Grove

Tao has huge portions . You can easily split an entree with a friend. Read more

Adam Conde

It used to be called Tao, but it's still the same chef , food and owner.

CJ Lucke

Tasty Red Chicken is my fave. Grilled Beef Salad also good.

Justin Burns

Try the Vegetable Tempura - #vegan #vegetarian

Jennifer Davies

The service sucks but they're nice people. The wrap it yourself rolls and the soups are generally the best bets.

Jennifer Van Grove

OMG get the Tofu Spring Roll ... it's a ginormous roll of awesomeness, seriously!

Ruben Carrillo

Great food!

lori zito

Very flavorful food, but be aware that they add tofu and/or fake meat to every vegan dish , even if it's not specified on the menu.

D B

Freakin good but spicy , painful even

Keegan Osinski

Best tofu ever!

James

Try the housemade Tofu . You get a free salad and dessert with your dinner .

Free tofu salad and free dessert ice cream . Would not recommend the chicken pot rice . Read more

The pho is where its at for me

skulldilocks

Worst excuse for japanese food . The ramen had the wrong type of noodle and the broth tasted like fishwater. The yakitori was bland and cooked the wrong way. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
