Hey everyone! So, for my 2013 birthday dinner, my family brought me to Tao Authentic Cuisine aka Tao Japanese Restaurant!
I've been here before, and the food was really good. We came back this time round, and once again, I would say that Tao is not about the quantity, but the quality!
Of course, if you wish for quantity, you can always just let them know to bring extra or reorder. After all, it IS a buffet!
The lunch rate is definitely better than dinner, but for me, buffet is usually the best during dinner time.
For Tao Japanese Restaurant, their buffet system does not go like other usual buffet systems. Instead of walking around and taking the food yourself, MOST food go by orders. That helps them ensure the freshness and good quality of the food. Only certain food (raw salmon, raw tuna, oyster, grilled salmon, salad bar, desserts, chocolate fountain, and a couple other dishes.) are placed out for self service.
My mom really enjoyed the oysters.
The prawns were pretty fresh too.
My favourite drink from Tao. Ice Peach Tea!
The taste is really strong unlike some other places where peach teas are most likely diluted.
Other choices of drinks are green tea, blackcurrant, and orange juice.
The mushroom weren't bad, but I've tasted better. We didn't reorder this dish like we did most.
Their scallops were good. They have a cheesy creamy texture added to them. We ordered about 3 dishes of these for a family of 5 members.
Abalone! This one is another favourite in my family. We ordered about 3 dishes as well.
Soft shell crab. Known to be under the top ten best dishes in Tao, but I didn't really find it all that great. I love soft shell crabs, but this one isn't as appetizing.
Cod fish! Tao has really good quality cod fish. It doesn't have that smelly fishy smell, and the texture is really soft and smooth. Thumbs up! I was looking forward to this dish since the last time I came to Tao. The only thing is, this dish took much longer to arrive.
Here are a few pages off their menu.
The food in Tao is really good, as I've been saying since the beginning of this post, BUT, do watch out for their desserts. I didn't enjoy any of them for both the times that I came. I would just stick to their other savoury food.
I love tarts. Especially all the little cheese tarts, but when I took a bite off this, I didn't want to have another bite. The taste was bland and the entire thing felt like it was just made plainly with flour.
I did not get to try this, but I heard that it wasn't all that good too.
Overall, I would say Tao Authentic Cuisine aka Tao Japanese Restaurant is definitely a great place for good quality food served buffet style. Though, if you're thinking of desserts, I would think twice.
