My family has been coming here for well over 20 years, and one thing that has never changed is the incredible quality and flavor of the food. Every visit feels just as good as the very first time. The consistency, service, and authentic taste keep us coming back year after year. The Chinese Chicken Salad is absolutely phenomenal — fresh, flavorful, and so good it leaves you wanting another bite immediately. It’s one of those dishes you crave long after you leave. The Chow Mein is loaded with shrimp and scallops and packed with flavor in every bite. You can truly tell they don’t cut corners with quality or portions. But my absolute favorite has always been the Tao Tao Beef. After more than 20 years, the flavor has remained exactly the same — rich, delicious, and absolutely phenomenal every single time. That kind of consistency is hard to find these days, and it’s the reason this place continues to stand out above the rest. If you’re looking for amazing food, generous portions, and a restaurant that has stood the test of time, this is the place. Highly recommended. Susan is the best thank you Susan..
While visiting the Sunnyvale area, we decided to give Tao Tao a try. We noticed the menu featured a Chinese Chicken Salad and a Tao Tao Beef dish that looked similar to the ones once served at Ming’s, a beloved Bay Area classic, which closed recently. Unfortunately, these dishes didn’t resemble the originals from Ming’s in flavor, texture, or style. In fact, we did not like the food. Additionally, the lighting and atmosphere were not welcoming at all. The booth along the wall was very old and stained, and the lighting was very blue / cold and too bright, and the decor was minimalist. To be fair, though, the restaurant was clean. If you’re hoping for something close to Ming’s cuisine, this isn’t the right spot. That said, the service was friendly and prompt. The food came out quickly and was served hot and fresh. Our water glasses were always kept full, and the wait staff packaged our leftovers for us.
Service was very nice so I feel bad saying this, but probably the worst Chinese food I’ve had in the Bay Area. The broccoli beef was watery, salty, and soggy and it had double the amount of broccoli vs meat. The sweet and sour pork was just as soggy, and drenched in food coloring. Even the tea was unconventional, I think it was barley instead of jasmine or oolong. Not a single Asian customer inside except for us, which is usually a sign for not being an authentic Asian spot. I wouldn’t visit again.
