"If Tijuana Picnic feels like a 25th birthday party on the LES, then Tao feels like a 25th birthday party in Vegas. The massive space in Chelsea has giant Buddha statues, a sunken dining room with a bunch of big round tables and booths, and a club in the back where there’s a chance you’ll see someone who’s performing at MSG this weekend. The food - ranging from sushi to dim sum, lobster pad thai, and sweet and sour pork - is extremely expensive, but better than the food at most club-restaurants." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
