Tao House Bistro

Food used to be good. We went tonight on Chinese New Year and the quality has dropped substantially while everything remains the same price. Mainly more cheap uncooked vegetables, excessive amount of onion than meat. The Chicken of Kung pao chicken was chunky and had to use a knife to cut it up. The prawns were flavourless and again way too many uncooked onions Service was good by the male waiter (hence the 2 stars for him) I heard the manager told off the waiter twice for not taking the reserved sign away while we were eating very unprofessional and inappropriate. Overall, a major disappointment for the price paid - 80 dollars for 3 dishes.

Great to eat in or take away. The food tastes very fresh and it is even good reheated the following day (Which I find to be a rare thing for Chinese takeaway). It is not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. It is also family friendly and they can provide high chairs though accessibility to some areas inside is a bit difficult for pushchairs (and others who struggle with stairs) due to the historical nature of the building (Staff were happy to help us up and down stairs but if mobility is an issue it might be advisable to ask for a more easily accessible table when booking).

The yumcha was good! We had the beancurd covered pork dumplings, porridge, XO radish cake and the stir fried beef noodles. The only disappointment was the Xiao Long Bao, which stuck to the bottom of the steamer it came on. Staff were really friendly and helpful in answering our questions too, and speak both fluent mandarin and english. Would recommend highly as a go-to place.
