The gentleman who owns this place is super nice and knowledgeable. I’ve always known Taos to be very authentic but today was exceptional. We ordered Dan Dan noodles, and cold sesame noodles which were not on the menu but he did a spin of it with tahini and cucumber that was super delicious and refreshing. The Dan Dan was garlicky and everything I hoped for. My boyfriend is obsessed with their beef pies. The best part? You can tell the noodles are hand pulled and cut. For 24 it felt like a delicacy. Yaaaas

It was soooo good! I tried their pig feet noodle and spicy&sour fatty beef rice noodle soup. It was all so delicious! It was spicy but I already knew it would be spicy so it was fine and it was still so tasty. I really want to come back for different dishes they have! They are so friendly and nice too. It’s a great place!

Always great to have authentic cuisine at this location. Quaint dining with limited seating but worth the wait and absolute bliss eating here at any day of the week.

Tao's Bao is a hidden gem! The food here is absolutely incredible – every bite bursts with authentic Chinese flavors that you wouldn't expect to find outside of the city. The freshness of the ingredients truly stands out, and it’s clear the chefs take great pride in their craft. The service was just as impressive – friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can confidently say I've found a new favorite spot. If you're craving top-quality Chinese cuisine, Tao's Bao is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back frequently!

Love the food here. Very authentic and delicious. They do have 3-4 tables there so if you come at a not-so-busy time, there should be seating.

We had Peking Roasted Duck, Sauteed Hot & spicy Beef with Tofu, Stewed Chicken and Mushroom. All taste good and authentic. The spare rib tips in black beans is okay.

It was amazing !!! Wow it’s been a long time I didn’t eat authentic food like that. The curry lamb sandwich was incredible!!! It felt like a mix of Thai, Indian and Moroccan food! Love it !!!
