Tao Tao

Family Favorite Chinese Restaurant. Never a disappointment eating here! Known for their "Chinese Chicken Salad" w/Hot Mustard dressing!

What a gem! The food, the service, the atmosphere are all fantastic! Four of us shared a small chinese chicken salad, tao tao beef, sweet & sour pork, steamed rice and won ton soup. So good, plenty for us with a little left over. Yum yum!

Ok this is a hidden gem!! Wish the place had slightly better curb appeal so that everyone would know about this place. They service was fantastic and the food was even better! I have a loss of words for how good the Tao Tao Chicken Salad and Tao Tao Beef was. The beef was soooooo flipping tender! If you like spicy mustard get ready for some good stuff. The complimentary tea is on point too!!

Amazing food but a bit on the slower side. We got sweet chili prawn ($15), spicy pk long bean ($12), Tao Tao special chow mein ($20). It was a total of $51.30. It’s a little expensive but once in awhile is nice. The food was better than what I expected. The prawn was firm and the beans were crunchy. The chow mein was bland but with other food is amazing. A big portion for the chow mein/chow fun, especially for 2 people. For me, the tea was AMAZING 💯. The server was very attentive to us and other tables. Would recommend this place if you want a calm and quiet atmosphere.

As far as i can tell the food hasn't changed for 30 years. Other restaurants flavors change even if they don't change the recipes but, whether you like it or not you can be assured that the tastes and flavors are the same as the last time you were here. And the interior is well maintained which is another thing that sets it apart from many other restaurants.

One thing that has changed? The wait staff has gotten downright pleasant! I wasn't greeted with a surly what do you want but a pleasant hi how are you today?

Yes i love the chicken salad with that salty mustard taste. And the Mai Tai? It's still awesome

We came for the MaiTai's...THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The bartender was awesome and chatted us up a bit. The food was BAM! We got the TaoTao beef and the small chicken salad (it was HUGE)! My wife loves the wonton chips so we got those as well. The portion size for everything was great! The prices were reasonable, drinks were awesome but the service was incredible!

I've been a few times my wives family were regulars and they know it better than I ever could. Salad was on point, family dinner was all good and they were nice enough to let us swap the pressed duck with sweet and sour chicken instead. Servers are always friendly and on top of it never an empty glass.

We have been going here for over three decades and love this place. For sure not “fast casual” and great for sit down or family take out.

Foods are really well seasoned. Not very salty and each has its distinct taste. A great place for 3 or more people.

Best Chinese Chicken Salad in California for over 40 years! All their dishes are great but nobody can touch that Chicken Salad. Always a wonderful meal dining in or taking home. Thank you Tao Tao for consistency in this crazy unstable world.

Enjoyed Tau Tau Beef, Chinese Chicken Salad, Lychee Pork, Asparagus with Mushrooms and Dragons eye cocktail...we cleaned our plates! It was delicious!

My family has been coming to this restaurant nearly my entire life. My parents found this restaurant when I was a teen, I'm 63 years old now. My wife and I drive from Pleasanton to Sunnyvale, and my brother in law and his wife drive from Morgan Hill to Sunnyvale, to eat at Tao Tao. YES, the food is THAT GOOD! The people that work there are fantastic, many have been working there for 20-30 years. Daniel is the best!! All of the food is tasty, fresh and full of flavor. Their Mai Tai's are phenomenal.

Crazy good . We had the classics. Shredded chicken salad YUM. TAO TAO BEEF , YUM . We also had the spicy eggplant 🍆 also really good . Eggplant was perfectly cooked.
Also tried their Mai Tai as well as the Grog drink. Both wickedly STRONG.
If you order the grog make sure you order a coke to back it up on.
All and all Loved it all

As a Sunnyvale local, I have been coming to Tao Tao for many years. I was first introduced when i was a kid by my beautiful Mother, and I always loved the Chicken Salad, Honey Walnut Prawns, and Tao Tao Beef. There are lots of other tasty items on their menu. Fried Rice and Chow Mein always tastes great. Nice elegant interior from the earlier years, and I enjoy having a beer at the bar or by the window to peep the scene while i wait for my walk in/take out. Havent dined in for quite a few years however look forward to sitting down for a meal here soon.

My parents use to take me in the 90’s as a child, and I am so happy they are still around! Some of the best fried pork won tons ever and amazing Chinese food. You won’t be disappointed with anything you order!

The chicken salad is delicious. I could have that every day

Went to the Tao Tao Cafe yesterday, Saturday October 9, 2021.
First time in 15 years..
It was as great as I remember, and I’ve been eating at Tao Tao since the late 1970’s when I lived in Sunnyvale and Los Altos.
Without a doubt the BEST Chinese Chicken Salad I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten it all over the country…Los Angeles, NYC, San Francisco, London, even Israel.
It is still the best.
I ordered two large containers, one without nuts and one regular.
I don’t mind saying my wife and I finish them both tonight.
Damn I wish I lived closer. I’m in Rohnert Park…

I love this place! I don't like any other won ton soup but theirs. They're chicken salad is addictive, too. Tao Tao beef is a classic and always a winner. This is comfort food to me. I moved away for awhile and am glad to be local again. Staff is always friendly and professional. Bar is usually hopping. Some nights you will have to wait for a table but it's worth it. Parking at night is tough but there are many lots in the area. They do take out!

Can't stay away from Tao Tao beef. Overall a good Chinese restaurant, we think of the beef as "candy."

Amazing food and service as always. Highly recommended.
