TAO

"Will definitely return. Nice looking place, and nice food. Was done as a buffet, but rather than have food waiting on warm trays, they do it fresh as an order. Keep ordering more and more, all under the buffet price of £30 (before drinks) One of the few buffet places that does char siu bao in the price too"

"Food was delicious!! Thoroughly enjoyed everything we had! We were a large group for a birthday, caterered to all veggie, vegans & meat eaters! It was a busy Friday night, I did feel the atmosphere was slightly loud - you know when everyone is shouting over each other / the music. Also there seemed to be one main lady as host server who had everything to point and correct but she was stretched thin around the whole room. I felt there needed to be another of her serving as we kept needed something but she was clearly rushed off her feet. Wait on drinks on arrival but not for the food."

"I would say the best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to in the greater area of Liverpool and Manchester. Authentic Cantonese style Chinese dishes augmented with freshly made dim sum (vs many others from frozen supermarket dim sum) The 3 dishes I was especially impressed - the char siu bao, the light and fluffy wrapper I rarely find eating in the uk; the firm and bouncy texture of the Sichuan style king prawn; and the soft and juicy wok peppered beef. Good food, good wine, coupled with the décor atmosphere and the excellent service, a very enjoyable eating experience."

"First time visit - being taken out for my birthday! Excellent meal from the banquet - good selection of tasty starters with more than enough for five from four meals. My wife and I shared the Tao curry and lemon chicken with fried rice and noodles. Again, large portions and delicious! Service was professional and friendly with food delivered at a nice pace. Not cheap but worth it perhaps for a special occasion - certainly recommended and I'll go again (when someone else is paying)!"

"Hidden gem! Great food and service 5* friendly staff, highly recommended. Photos don't do it justice, but food was fresh, tasty and could be adapted. Lots of choice, gluten-free and vegan selection menu too (veg, tofu or mock meat) It was really busy on a random Wednesday night, all food looked great. Found this place on Google maps as a friend recently moved into the area (would have missed it if just driving past as it's set back)."
