Reviews for Tao Restaurant in Montréal, QC
Delicious! I had the grilled chicken in peanut butter sauce and general tao. Good quality chicken in both.
We ordered in about 8 dishes and everything arrived hot and delicious! I had shrimps I lobster sauce, Singapore Noodles, Spare... Ribs, Orange sesame beef, chicken chow main, and asparagus and Chinese mushrooms! Sorry no Photos. Read more
One of our family's favourite places for vegan food. Lots of great dishes, the Ma Po Tofu is excellent. Good value. One note:... delivery can be a little slow so order an hour or so before you want your food. On the plus side they give accurate estimatesfor delivery time when you call. Read more
Phenomenal varied pan Asian menu, with beautifully presented dishes, and a separate vegetarian/vegan menu under the iChing... brand. Attentive, friendly service. Subdued, zen atmosphere with luxurious decor. Highlights include the large egg rolls andhunan dumplings with peanut sauce (veg or meat). Thick Shanghai noodles or soft skinny lo mein dishes also lovely (and large toshare family style). Thai red curry was perfectly spiced for those who like it piquant. Shrimp in lobster sauce is a perfectexecution of a classic Cantonese dish that really should be called ?Prawns? because they are very large and flavourful. Parkingin the neighbourhood could take a little while, but being across the street from Villa Maria Métro is a good option (also aterminus for 5 bus routes). Seating is spaced every second table when possible, and vaccination passports properlychecked. Bathroom is immaculately clean and well stocked. My only suggestion would be to create a vegetarian ?combo? menuincluding soup and appetizer for a set price like the regular menu, but the à la carte menu is so reasonably priced, and theportions so generous, it is not a big deal. On my list of neighbourhood gems, and in my top 10 restaurants for a perfect meal inMontréal. Read more
Ordered delivery. Worst experience. Way too pricey for what I got. Would never order from here again. I ordered 3 items, and the... portions were not worth the price, costing me nearly 50$: - Fried rice was not fried. - Cantonese Chow Mein was half soggy, halfovercooked & dried out and only had 4 ingredients (2 bok choy pieces, 3 slices of carrot, a bunch of soggy spinach and LOTS ofbroccoli) - General Tao Chicken was kinda crispy (I didn't mind, but some people might) with not too much sauce to it... atleast the sauce was good (not spicy, either). A failure to uphold the basics of asian culinary, and a complete lack of care inboth preparation & handling. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my night has been ruined. Read more
My new favorite restaurant for Chinese takeout! Have ordered takeout there several times in recent months and have always been... pleased. Many excellent vegetarian options. Friendly staff. Read more
Yesterday visited at lunch time, overall experience is good. We ordered Crab but upto the mark. Curry is good so far but size of... crab is very small as per charges. Also serving size is also not much. Read more
It started when we tried calling at 7pm to place a pick-up order. We couldn't get through...repeatedly a voice message saying... their mailbox was full (?). We thought perhaps they were closed. Since we were around the area, we decided to pass by. Yes,they were open but had only 1 girl on the phone who was having trouble keeping up with all the telephone orders. We felt sorryfor her. So, we placed our order inside and decided to wait for it. 45 minutes later, our order was in a bag and ready. Weordered the chicken chow mein with noodles. The dish was 3/4 full of undercooked noodles . I thought they had forgotten thechicken. But there was a few meager little pieces of chicken you really needed to look for under all the noodles. The fewvegetables included regular green cabbage pieces and sliced carrots (really strange).. a few pieces of broccoli and bok choy. And not enough sauce to coat all those hard noodles. Very, very disappointing. We also ordered chicken with crispy spinach inpeanut sauce. We didn't get that order. Instead we got a very spicy chicken dish with bell peppers in a hot red sauce. Verysmall portion I might add and way too spicy for us. 2 vegetable spring rolls completed the order. They were ok, but verygreasy. A few tablespoons of very very watered-down liquidy plum sauce accompanied their spring rolls. Terrible. It seems asif they try to stretch out their portions with the cheaper ingredients. A big disappointment and a far cry from their food(years ago) at their old Victoria St. Westmount location. These 2 dishes and 2 spring rolls were not worth the 40$ at all. Sorrybut there's many better places for great Asian food in Montreal. I would not recommend at all or go back there. Read more
