Tao in Warrington

Our visit to Tao was second to none. The food was absolutely beautiful and the service we received was outstanding. We would highly recommend and will be returning.

Went for the Sunday Banquet, table service is fast and efficient, the food is top notch, this was our 2nd visit and we were very impressed both times.

Visited last night on a recommendation for a birthday treat and we are so pleased we did! What a fabulous restaurant. Superb service and atmosphere. Really tastefully decorated and the food was truly excellent. Delicious food, beautifully presented and respected. Service was first class from everyone. A delight! You really must try for yourselves. Thank you team and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Staff very friendly food is great 👍

This is a hidden treasure within Warrington have always wanted to go there, the food, staff and the whole experience were brilliant we cannot wait to go back this time with friends and are looking to another great night of food at this stunning venue. Keep up the great work.

Went for the first time Thursday 5th September. Absolutely loved this place, the food is absolutely amazing. The staff are attentive and super friendly. Will definitely be going back to this restaurant

First time visit this evening and was amazed at how lovely the meals are. Staff are friendly and even provided a rendition of “Happy Birthday” for my wife. We have found our new “Go To” restaurant.

Best Chinese I've had in years. Had the all you can eat Sunday feast. This is not a buffet, it like going for a normal meal, just endless amounts and lots of choice. Can't believe I didn't know about it until now, won't be having any other Chinese in Warrington from now on. Staff very friendly and nice relaxed atmosphere. Good cocktails too 😊

We come her for are first time and the staff where absolutely fantastic. Very welcoming and staff were amazing with my 2 year old child who can be a pain at times , they serviced his needs as he is super fussy, we find it super hard getting child care so he comes everywhere with us and they really helped him by brining cucumber sticks out to keep him happy and hush which made are meal enjoyable for us , The food that’s the thing that just really was outstanding, from the taste to the presentation of the food when it came out to us. Loverly clean and professional service from the moment we got their from staff , very relaxed and chilled vibe . Highly recommend if you wanting a date night or even family night here and love the taste of Chinese but with a different twist and feel then sitting on your couch at home. They also do take away, which looked like it was a big hit as people were collecting it every 10 mins

Went here this evening for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a fantastic meal. Got treated so well by the staff, they were so attentive and made sure everything was ok. My boyfriend got a free drink on the house for his birthday which was a lovely touch and he definitely enjoyed the brandy! Food is 10/10 the prawn toast and prawn crackers are to die for! This is the best Chinese around wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Some place 👌🏻 Had a fantastic evening from start to finish, love the food with top service, along with a peaceful atmosphere and classy resterant, the restroom was exquisite- I did a video of it for my mate lol, will def be back, thankyou for the heartwarming Birthday touch too, lovley 😊

Sunday night, fixed price of as much as you can eat from a varied menu. The food was truly lovely, no grease, not salty, just great ingredients prepared and cooked with skill. Service was excellent, very attentive but never annoying. It's a gem of a place that we will be returning to many times from now on with family and friends. Search it out, you'll be glad you did!

Everything was just amazing definitely worth a visit

The menu genuinely caters for all tastes and preferences with a number of vegan options, for example. Across our party of four, we ate ribs, chicken, duck, tofu and vegetable-based dishes. The food was attractively presented and cooked to perfection and the accompanying sauces enhanced the flavour of each dish as opposed to overwhelming the taste of everything else. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively but not rowdy - it was Saturday evening. The staff were efficient and engaging and they responded to our enthusiasm for the food with little extras for us to try. We will certainly return for more!

Eating in is fine. But we decided on a chili takeout box Truly awful. Everything and I mean everything burnt to a cinder and dry as a bone no moisture left in anything. Very chewy As if it had been kept under hot lamps for several hours. Did not enjoy this at all. Will not order takeout again. Expensive as half went in the bin. My reference was QXTC

The kindest people who really go Above and beyond. The best food that never fails. Really is just amazing and just the best experience everytime

Went for a girls' evening and had a lovely time. The food was beautiful and the whole evening was relaxed. I cant wait to go back again

What an amazing restaurant ! 1st class food. Great energy, friendly service. I would highly recommend Tao as a 5 star restaurant. Food was exquisite.

Absolutely excellent service. The quality of the food is far and above many other Chinese restaraunts. Couldn't fault it. Very delicious. Beautiful restaraunt also. Will be coming back.

We had the pleasure of visiting for a family meal to celebrate my husband's birthday. Fabulous food which we all thoroughly enjoyed and the staff were extremely friendly and ensured that we were very well looked after. A surprise birthday cheesecake was a lovely touch. Can definitely recommend the venue and we will be back - they now have a loyalty card scheme too!

An absolute delight, found Tao on Google when looking for somewhere in Warrington. was really impressed with the look of the menu. Simply delicious, super staff who explained and recommended different dishes. Probably the best Chinese restaurant I've been to!!

Tao is a culinary gem for discerning palates and the restaurant provided an exceptional backdrop for a special occasion (my girlfriend's birthday celebration dinner). The ambiance was elegant and intimate, and the staff welcoming and attentive. The food we sampled was genuinely delightful and the manner with which they were served was truly exemplary. The siu mai and har kao showcased impeccable freshness and nuanced flavors, while the crispy duck pancake - a signature dish prepared by co-owner Chris himself - was nothing short of a revelation. To our surprise, we were offered a complimentary serving of their new fried mochi dessert. This turned out to be a wonderful finale to a truly memorable meal. For those seeking a refined and exquisite dining experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly! Perhaps unsurprisingly, we will be sure to return soon!

Awesome food and lovely and friendly staff. Worth every star given

The food and service are great! Would definitely come back again :) Came with friends for an impromptu meal on a Sunday evening, would highly recommend.

Fresh food, and fast would definitely recommend 👍🏽

Excellent authentic Cantonese style food. We absolutely love their set menu which has plenty of choice and all our favourites.

Exceptional food. Lovely service. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in Warrington, Support this local business

Tao is the best Chinese in Cheshire, it’s absolutely stunning inside and the food is equally fantastic! The staff there go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect for you. We recently went for my mother’s birthday, we had a huge table and everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the team at Tao, we can’t wait to come back. Fabulous place

Amazing food very friendly and hospitable.

Love it here, got to be up for best restaurant Warrington easily.

Really nice staff who were very accommodating to a gluten intolerance.

Great food and services, a hidden gem and highly recommended!!

Great place to eat as food is delicious especially the ribs so tasty and friendly service, I can’t wait to go again and would definitely recommend

Food was ok. Starters were very good, main ok. Service was on firm. Atmosphere V noisy and echo'y.

I didn't go to this restaurant yet , but I have question, does this restaurant serve Halal food!?

TAO is excellent, from the service yo the food you cant fsult it, outstanding, will be back definitely.

Always really well looked after. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Good food with excellent service , amazing starters.

Gorgeous food, brilliant staff, we felt like absolute celebrities everything we asked was provided and we just loved the experience

Food and service excellent, staff really friendly, restaurant surroundings modern and comfortable, we were in early so full atmos experiance can't be committed on. We will be going again without hesitation 👌

Very noisy due to having no soft furnishings. Food to a normal standard but twice the price of any other Chinese restaurants around the area.

Probably the best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten, bit expensive but worth the money 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Delicious food and a fabulous atmosphere.

Love this place and both food and service excellent. Always fresh food cooked and the staff cannot do enough for you. Lemon chicken was excellent.

Outstanding food, knowledgeable and very polite staff members, nice atmosphere

Excellent service from Vanessa and the team. We were a large party (15 of us in total) and we were all very impressed with the food. Certainly one of the best Chinese meals I've had in Warrington. Will absolutely be returning!

We ordered a takeaway food is good quality and very tasty.

Great food and service. Menu wasn't massive which l liked, all food was well presented and cooked beautifully

Best Cantonese restaurant I've been to. Absolutely love the food there, could not recommend enough

We do not live far away so walked to Tao’s. We were shown immediately to our table, having booked the day before. We ordered water and soon decided on our food. We went for the set menu and shared a platter of starters. All were delicious. My wife then had chicken in lemon and I had the Sichuan beef with chillies, both had jasmine rice. All washed down with a Shiraz. It was excellent, wine, food and service. We first went in their opening week and then Covid struck. We have had takeaways since but decided to experience the real thing! No question that we shall return, we are lucky to have such a gastronomical feast round the corner.

Great food, even better service and the sweet bags are a nice touch for children.

Visited Tao on Saturday 6 Jan, place was quite busy. Food and service very good and will definitely return. The restaurant was very clean and kept on top of by the waiting on staff. Your table is kept clean by being wiped down after every course which is unheard of in most restaurants. Keep it upTao

Visited New Year’s Eve wonderful tasty food great environment really helpful staff just lovely food from start to finish Still a little bug bare of mine is the 10% service charge for all tables regardless of the amount of people I feel this should be stopped and as the same else where you can tip if you like I would ordinarily tip £5 not £15 pounds for a table 😞 please change this Tao I know it says discretionary but people may struggle to ask for this to be taken off this may be the decider as to whether people visit you or not.

Absolutely beautiful food - delicate and fine flavours. The restaurant is clean and the staff are attentive and patient. A real gem of a restaurant and if I could give this 6* I would.

Delicious food, attentive service and lovely clean restaurant with relaxing decor. What's not to like. There is a car park right outside the door, you have to put your reg number in when you first go in the restaurant. We all had a great night here and will be back... highly recommend

Beautiful food, catered for our meal choices which were not on the menu, the duck spring rolls were amazing, great atmosphere which was busy when we arrived, nice touches that arrived with the food & made the meal special. The only thing I would say is it’s a little bit pricier than other Chinese restaurants in the area but you would expect to pay more when you’re sitting in nice surroundings like this one & for me it was worth the extra money spent. Service was also great.

Highly recommended 👌 delicious food.

10 out 10 in service. The waitress was fantastic! Friendly and professional! The mango cheese cake was divine also the food. Highly recommended!

My friends organised my baby shower at Tao’s and it was a lovely experience. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly. We had a good time. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because the food was surprisingly more expensive than anticipated. We were 6 friends and we spent £237 in total which was more than what we budgeted. But the experience made it worth it in the end. I’ll definitely be going back again.

Outstanding service and food.. certainly the best oriental food I've had in Warrington, by a long way!

Came for a family meal! Staff were excellent as a member of our party had food allergies. Food was outstanding. Will definitely be coming back!

Best Chinese I've had. That is a bold statement! But true. The food is delicious, the flavours are amazing. It's so fresh! We will definitely be back

The food here might be great but unfortunately we didn’t get to find out. We booked a table here for my brothers birthday after hearing nothing but positive things from friends and family. We arrived promptly Sunday evening for our booked table only to find it wasn’t available. There were numerous other families in the same scenario one of which said they had been waiting up to an hour for their table despite also booking. After waiting 30 minutes we gave up and decided to head elsewhere. Needless to say this will be our last visit to Tao. Avoid!

I booked a table for 8pm still not seated at 8:30pm. Countless others in the same scenario. We left hungry. Very poor, you shouldn’t be taking bookings if you can’t honour them.

We come here often for our family get togethers because we know the food will always be done to a high standard. The front of house are attentive and they always make sure we were well looked after. It’s very rare you get authentic Cantonese food these days so we always go all out and order too much! Always leave with a full stomach.

It’s regrettable i have to write this review as i hate the idea of putting something negative about a local business however to many times the same thing has happened so I’ve had enough so i know this is something that may make them think twice for next time. We have been here many times and the food is generally pretty good, the problem comes every time i ever get a takeaway something goes wrong. I actually live 30 mins away from here now but when in the area which i am regularly i still nip in, I can’t have anything spicy as i have medical conditions that just means I can’t have is and several times I’ve asked them to make sure something isn’t spicy and they have assured me it isn’t then when i have got home it’s is covered in chilli, like the chef has mistaken it for extra chilli, by the time i get home I can’t just come back to rectify it so it just goes in the bin. Then we’ve had the wrong meal before and other issues. On a couple of occasions they have offered us a replacement meal next time which we have accepted and it’s been fine so we have forgiven a lot. But last night i went and called first to order the lady i spoke with on the phone was nice and i asked i know you do a menu for 20 pounds with a starter mains and side can i have the curry and a fried rice please and i asked what starters are included in the offer, she went of to tell me them then said duck and pancakes, I asked the duck and pancakes are in the 20 pound offer are you sure. She said yes, i then said that really surprises me as I didn’t think it would be she again said yet it is so that will be 20 pounds and will be ready in about 15/20 minutes is that ok, so i ordered that and grabbed 20 pounds and set off, When i arrived I’m assuming someone else served me and said that’s 26 pounds please, so I asked i thought it was 20 and she said yet but you order the curry which is an additional 2 pounds and the duck which is an additional 4. I said I’ve only brought 20 as i asked several times if that was right. She then said actually it’s 24 as that’s wrong. So i have to go and get another 4 pound. Not that it’s the money just the sounds strange to get 3 different prices. So whatever i paid it and left. I asked can you definitively make sure everything is in the bag and the curry has no chilli in it. She said she had double checked and everything was right, so i drove home and when i got back i opened it up the curry was indeed correct however they had forgot the sauce for the duck meaning it was just dry duck on pancakes, pointless, out of frustration i called and said is there kent to be sauce with the duck and the gent I spoke with Said yes, so i told he it was missing, i said I’m quite annoyed as everything i come there for a takeaway there is so often something wrong or missing. He again offered me a free one next time but i just said forget it. For every free one I’m paying for ones that go in the bin so, I’ve had enough. I decided to write this hoping the management would see it and sort this out as it seems the kitchen are great at what they do but organisation wise its just a shambles. Don’t have a clue what the prices are mistakes on orders, wrong orders, missing items. It’s not a huge deal really but a one off id just ignore but sooo many times it can’t just be me this is happening to. They need to stick a rocket up the front of house staff to just simply write orders down correctly and then check the order before given to a customer. And check you know your products and prices. It’s not that difficult and really annoying now as i wont be returning here even though i like the food. We came yesterday Tuesday the 3rd October around 730 ish i think. I really hope you fix these issues and don’t need to loose more customers over silly avoidable things.

I love this place. We went on a Sunday, which is always busy, so you will need to book a table. You have a 2 hour slot, but they don't rush you. We had 21/2 hours from sitting down to paying the bill.

A very good Chinese restaurant indeed…..for our party of five on Saturday 30 September we were made welcome by all the staff. Everyone in our party of five rated the food very highly as also the beer and wine. There’s a nice ambience to Tao’s interior: spaciousness, high beams with a nice quirky tropical fish tank-type display either side. Car parking spaces outside too - you can (almost) step out of your car into the restaurant front door! Thank you to all the staff for making Tao a nice evening!

Found this restaurant on google, while staying in Warrington for work. I was not disappointed, we ordered from the a la carte menu. We didn't go for the all you can eat menu as we weren't overly hungry and thought it was slightly overpriced. However now i would highly recommend this menu, well worth the tasty food. The food was soo nice and tasty and the presentation was stunning. The staff were very friendly and were there when we needed them.

Food was gorgeous well presented

Been waiting to come and try this place ,the restaurant inside is lovely ,staff very nice and polite ,food was good although i feel the chicken satay on the mixed starters could do with a peanut sauce or something as it was a bit dry ,best thing for me was the hot and sour soup OMG it was super tasty ,the best i have ever had

Nice food but felt rushed by the staff. Please stop singing happy birthday every 10 minutes to people it's nauseating.

This was our first visit and it will not be our last. We had the set menu and it was great value for money..The service was friendly and warm from the minute we entered the restaurant. Food was of a high quality not just in presentation but flavour too. The restaurant was spotlessly clean 5 stars all round.

We've been to TAO several times now and we can now confidently recommend this restaurant. The food has always been consistently delicious. Yesterday we tried the pork ribs and they were so tasty and not greasy at all that we had to order more. A special mention for the aubergines in curry, which were really flavourful. What really sets this restaurant apart from the competition is the amount of effort they put in client satisfaction, with super nice and helpful staff. The restaurant is also very clean and tidy, with tables wiped not just before sitting clients but between courses too.

We have become regulars at Tao as the food is always without a doubt exceptional. We know we are being served the best quality authentic ingredients as we have spoken to Vanessa, the owner, many times about this. The service is also brilliant. We especially love being served by Leo. We dined there tonight after being busy for a few weeks and we were reminded of why we eat there so often. Absolutely divine!

Beautiful place and fantastic service, the staff are very friendly and polite and the food tastes absolutely amazing. Beautifully presented food too. Would definitely recommend and I will certainly be back :)

Loved it! Amazing food and staff were great, definitely worth a visit. Great vibes 👌

Visited for the first time on Sunday, it was really good, excellent service and the all you can eat offer is so good, everything is cooked fresh to order, and the starters were some of the best we've had. Excellent cocktails too Perfect place for a special meal

Based upon word-of-mouth and looking at some of the reviews on here, I was expecting a lot more. The food is ok, but not the best Chinese food I've had. The service was ok, but we did have to wait for one of our starters as the waiter taking our order got confused. But the cost was very expensive for what it is. I've paid less at Tatu (Spinningfields) & Lu Ban (Cains Brewery) who I'd consider to be 'fine dining' experiences.

Nice food but a little on the expensive side to go often.

Absolutely amazing place I took my son for his birthday and everything was amazing food service the whole experience

This a great place, the staff are wonderful, and the food is amazing, well worth a visit. See you all soon.

Absolutely amazing place !!! The food was unreal and the service was outstanding made you feel like you were so important x

The food service and attention were all wonderful and we will definitely be returning

Excellent service food very good

Very expensive for average quality. Staff should highlight that rice is extra. Lemon chicken was not much better than Findus crispy chicken. My recommendation...Choi Hing every time.

Best around for food and service

Quite simply the Best Cantonese meal I have ever had! Went for the set menu which included dim sum and mains each, we chose Cantonese Chicken and Katsu Chicken with Egg Fried Rice and Jasmin rice. The Dim Sum was amazing, the ribs were delightful and the prawn toast was a taste sensation, very light, not greasy and full of flavour. The presentation of the food was perfect, what you would expect of a very high class restaurant in a major city, this place is an absolute gem and a must try.

Absolutely loved it here. Would definitely come again. Food was heavenly. They have a set menu where you get a starter, a main and a side all for a set price or you can go off the normal menu. I went off the set menu and would highly reccomend the ribs and shredded beef/chicken

OUR FAVOURITE RESTAURANT We couldn't recommend TAO enough.From the moment me and my girlfriend walked through the door the service was exceptional! The staff really do go above and beyond for anything you need or any questions you have. Making sure your table is clean inbetween courses, Any specific requests we had for the food were met with out a problem and we never had to wait if we needed a refill of our drinks as soon as we had finished our drinks the waiting staff would ask if we needed another and overall just very polite and great at what they do! The food is with out a doubt the best Cantonese/Chinese food we have ever had.We ate from the Sunday Feast menu and it has a good mix of everything you could possibly need. ​ The flavours of the food are on another level and everything was fresh and cooked perfectly! (Very Reasonably Priced at £35 each) We Ordered: Prawn crackers Duck and pancakes x2 King du ribs x4 King du wingsx4 Lemon grass and ginger Chicken skewers x4 2x Bbq Boa buns Salt and pepper wings x3 Salt and pepper ribs x2 Sea weed x3 Sichuan chicken x2 Jasmine rice x1 Mango cheese cakes x6 Choax Buns with vanilla ice cream Hard to pick a favourite dish but the Skewers and Bbq Boa buns are unreal. Can't wait to go back!

Really nice food, really friendly staff. Thank you!

This is a really great restaurant, one of the best we've been to in Warrington. Service was excellent, so friendly and attentive. The food tasted freshly-made. Highlights were the duck spring rolls and the crispy chilli beef. Portion sizes were very generous too. Parking nearby can be tricky as the car park is only very small, but worth the walk if you have to park on one of the streets nearby!

1st time tonight going into tao for meal it was absolutely delicious 😋

Party of 16 attended for my daughters birthday service was great all very polite staff until the end of the meal, we noticed we had been overcharged on drinks no where on the menu was this price displayed and having since checked with trading standards...

I celebrated my 60th Birthday at Tao with a party of almost 40 family and friends and it was absolutely amazing! The staff could not have been more helpful both on the night and lead-up to the celebration, so friendly and every request catered for...

We celebrated my aunties 60th Birthday at Tao with almost 40 of us and what a great night we had. You cannot fault the food and service at this restaurant. Staff were so attentive and accommodating, absolutely faultless - the best Cantonese food around. Will...

Amazing food with great vegan options!

Great food service was great I had for starters Ja Ping (price per person, min of 2) A starter platter that includes all the favourites including Duck spring rolls, Sesame prawn toast, Chicken skewers, King do ribs & Seaweed. Mains TAO curry / DF Chinese style curry with king prawns, beef, chicken & char siu. Finished with chilli oil for that extra delicious kick!! Crispy shredded chicken in Cantonese sauce Strips of beef or chicken coated in a light batter, tossed in a sticky, tangy sweet sauce with fresh chillies Noodles and Jasmine rice Beautiful presentation attached pictures and video x Thumbs up 👍 Had a Almond milk dessert on the house.

As a family that includes two vegans we were delighted by the number of choices and the keenness of the owners and their staff to make everyone feel welcome. We had the Sunday Feast and the food was exquisite and plentiful, it is clear that customer satisfaction is more important than penny pinching. Even though the restaurant was very busy we didn’t feel rushed at any point, in fact I found the service far superior to that I received in a London Michelin starred restaurant last week. My son has autism and we were initial concerned about the noise in the restaurant (it was full and busy) but the quality of the food overruled his desire for quiet. Indeed he rated the restaurant 9.5 out of 10. In short this has to be the best Chinese restaurant in the NW. Thanks to the whole team for making our evening and first visit to Tao awesome.

Fantastic!! Amazing food, great service! Will be going back soon
