Support your local businesses! This place has been around for 20+ years a true iconic restaurant for my family. Their beef chow fun always hits the spot. The honey walnut shrimp is so good too, large shrimp and great walnuts. The service is amazing and the vibe is very classic Chinese restaurant, love this family restaurant
This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the Southeast Valley. Great food. I enjoyed their version of egg drop soup. I recommend trying this place if you enjoy Chinese food.
Very solid Chinese restaurant! Went here on Christmas Day and was very satisfied with the experience. All of the food was well priced and had generous portions. The quality was overall pretty good as well. Our favorite was the chow fun and the duck! The service was pleasant but a bit slow initially. We probably waited 15-20 minutes until we ordered. But it was a holiday so they could've been short staffed.
Yelp got it wrong to give Tao Garden such low rating. Tao Garden your food is delicious!!! I don't usually give any rating but today I need to. I eat around enough to know their food is always consistently delicious, perfect ingredients with amazing aroma for a reasonable price and so much choices!!! Give this place a chance and you will see other restaurants price gouge on their mediocre menu.
We've been coming here for over 15 years. Authentic mom and pop - family run Chinese restaurant. The service has always been great and everyone here is very friendly. The owners are amazing and treat you like family. Food is never disappointing and tastes so good!!! For the amount of food you get, the prices are 100% reasonable and the food is worth every penny. We also tried takeout during Covid and were not disappointed. The parking is ample in a shopping center. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior. This gem is well worth the visit.
This place is incredible. I was recently in Hong Kong and eating the food here really transported me back. The fish clay pot might be one of the best I've eaten in my entire life! The fish was cooked beautifully, tofu was plentiful, and sauce was warm and hearty but not too heavy. The beef clay pot is also extremely high quality. It's very hard to find this level of Cantonese authenticity around the valley but I'm so glad it's available here. The portion sizes here are also very generous. Will be returning next week, and the week after, and the week after that for the foreseeable future!
Tao Garden is pretty good! I like most of the entrees they offer. I probably had almost all of them over the years. I looked at some other people's suggestions and they all looked good! Their restaurant is located on the corner of the plaza, close to the street. This is good because then it is easy to get there and park. There is a Taco Bell close by though and their drive through gets busy. There is enough parking in the parking lot which is good. The service is usually fast but when it is rush hour, it can get slow. I would suggest the hot and sour soup. That is always a popular dish with my family and friends. I also like a couple of their noodle dishes. I think Hong Kong style noodles. I like their chicken dishes more than the beef dishes or the fish dishes. Great flavors and textures.
