| - I'm a Chinese, American born, but I know real Chinese food because of my parents and grandparents who immigrated here and was able to grow their kids up on the real stuff.
Tao's food is great and for my Cantonese family we love the food here, which we give it a 5 star. Now, does this compete well enough with the restaurants in San Francisco or Los Angeles, well, not quite, but it's as good as it gets here in the East Valley and it's reasonably priced, too, compared to the other Chinese Chinese restaurants.
And, no I do not consider Panda Express, Pei Wei, PF Chang's or the like real Chinese. So, for Chinese taste buds, Tao is good and where you see where there are mainly Chinese people frequenting the place, it really caters towards the Chinese taste buds, rather than Americans.
Everything we get there is pretty good, which we get things like Honey Walnut Shrimp, various clay pots, pot stickers, Beef & Broccoli, steamed fish, Beijing Spare Ribs, Beef Chow Fun and then other dishes which I don't know the English names for (sorry).
However, the male owner of Tao sucks BIG TIME. He is the rudest and most impolite owner I have ever met. Whenever we come in and he's there, he is just an awful man and I don't know how his wife puts up with him. I don't know if he's like that to all people or just to my family and I, but if there was another Cantonese restaurant nearby that served food just as well and the owners are good people, we'd stop going Tao ONLY because of how he treats us.
But, Tao has been in business for quite awhile and they have a good following. It is the Chinese restaurant that my family and I go to the most often.
The owner has cussed at us before, using profanity and for no good reason. Like, the last time, we asked where we can sit. He yells at us and curses us. Seriously, is that a way to treat paying customers who order a lot?
When my stepdad died, we held the luncheon there and spent a lot of money providing lunch to all our guests. I cannot tell you how much money we've spent there over the years, but it's a lot. And when I say my family, it means my siblings and their families, my parents and other friends.
The male owner can be overhead by other customers on the phone to other people and just being rude to them, too. He really could use a slap in the face of how poorly he treats other people. His wife, however, is a very nice woman, and so are the other staff. Too bad they have to put up with his abusive behavior.
