When you head to Tao Asian Bistro (The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian & The Palazzo, 702.388.8338), you’ll enter a world that seems thousands of miles away. A tunnel past marble tubs, filled with bathers and rose petals, takes you to dark, intimate environs. Statues of Buddha sit in wood-paneled niches behind plush booths, while a large inviting bar makes a great place to indulge in a pre-dinner cocktail. In the main dining area, a huge Buddha looks over multiple floors.
It all makes for a suitable situation to enjoy Tao’s delicious menu of Asian delights. You’ll want to order family style here, to get the most from dinner (although you can certainly enjoy an entrée all to yourself, if you choose). Appetizers to order for your first course include pork potstickers, Chilean sea bass satay, lobster wontons, and avocado and asparagus tempura. For those larger entrées, choose honey-glazed salmon, crispy orange chicken or the signature 12-ounce Imperial wagyu ribeye with Yuzu-cilantro butter. Share such delights as salmon sashimi; the Tao Angry Dragon roll; pad Thai with peanuts, mushrooms and tofu; Thai duck fried rice; or lobster and kimchi fried rice.
