Tao Ngộ Restaurant

"I order here for my coworkers and it was the worse experience. The food was extremely nasty and cold. Orange chicken looks like ketchup was covered all over it. The sweet and sour chicken was so dry. It was so bad I had to warm up my Marie calendar frozen meal. I will never eat here again. I will never eat here again. I did not want to give them any stars, but I had to put one started to make this review"

"Food is always great, and the portions are more for family style meals. Definitely for sharing. The fried tofu is amazing and the fried rice is delicious. They also have lunch specials, including some Chinese dishes. The service is ok, but the food has me going back time and time again."

"Small place but the atmosphere is pretty good on a Sunday night. Service was great as everything was prompt and handled well. Whole meal for my family came out to be $173.38 with my family of 5. The menu had updated prices with stickers over the original price. Didn’t get the pictures though. Ordered a bit too much since we had to go boxes. Besides Thai tea and the special dessert (che dac biet) which was amazing, everything that we ordered was good but not outstanding - let me explain. The vermicelli with pork and egg roll had a nice portion so I’m glad about that. Egg rolls are crunchy and had great flavor alongside the pork. The peanuts, some lettuce on the bottom, and the nuoc mam given enhances the dish by a lot. 5/5 The salted baked squid had a nice crunchy, salty texture. Nothing wrong with the squid and the batter. Would need to eat this with some other dish. 4/5 Onto the Yang Chow fried rice with meat (com chien duong chau). Now with the fried rice they made, they were mediocre at best. Couldn’t even taste the meat in the fried rice. Had to add some squid to make it taste better even with the shrimp in it. 3/5 The marinated steamed chicken has amazing flavor with the lemongrass on the side and the texture of the chicken is soft. Pretty much expected 5/5. Just be careful eating around the bones. The pan noodle seafood (mi xao gion do bien) and the crispy egg noodle seafood (mi xao mem do bien) had this sauce that didn’t taste nice. There wasn’t a difference between these two besides the texture of the noodles. There was vegetables and seafood that were great additions. Really heavy on the umami though. 3/5 Now for my family who ordered separate: the rice with pork, sunny side egg, and an egg cake (com bi thit nuong cha hot ga). My little brother ate it all so I’m sure he loves it. No complaints. 5/5 My father got the hu tieu mi nuoc. Said he likes it so 5/5. Overall 4/5. Would I go back? Only if my family decides to. Not a place to visit regularly because of prices."

"This is certainly one of the more traditional Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The food was very good, especially the fish and fried tofu. The setting is a bit on the dingy side, but it adds to the charm."

"Went here to eat, had a big group. The food was tasty and the place looked real nice. Customer service wasn’t bad, at least for us, and besides it being a little chilly, it’s a pretty good place!"
