About TAO

TAO Hollywood occupies a massive converted space in Hollywood with theatrical Asian-inspired décor — the 20-foot Buddha, the ornate ceiling — and a pan-Asian menu that delivers reliably even when the room is at full nightlife intensity. The crispy rice with spicy tuna is the signature appetizer that made the Las Vegas original famous and translates perfectly here. Wok-fried dishes and robata skewers come out of the kitchen at a pace that matches the room's energy. This is unapologetically a vibe restaurant, and the vibe is excellent.
