TAO Uptown
A dramatic Pan-Asian eatery where a towering 16-foot Buddha centerpiece meets a lively, dimly lit dining scene.

Description
The multi-room space is ornately decorated in theme from top to bottom. Diners navigate a high-energy environment where the background noise at the front bar is often loud enough to require shouting, and groups are sometimes seated in tight booths. The kitchen serves staples like Pad Thai and fried rice, alongside a shared Harmonized for the Table option. For drink specials, the bar hosts an early evening Lucky Hour menu starting at 5 PM, though the area can run quite cold.
