There are also a few Soups, like Hot and Sour Soup with Shrimp Toast, Miso Soup with Tofu and Manilla Clams, and Spicy Thai Dumpling Soup. There is a separate, small Dim Sum section that includes various types of dumplings, baos, and spring rolls ($13 to $19). The crispy rice was fun, and I enjoyed the dish. The overall bite had classic flavors that were enjoyable, but not particularly exciting. A crispy rice cylinder, sort of like aranchini, replaced the normal white rice in sushi. Shaped like nigiri, the tuna on top of the rice was actually chopped tuna mixed with Asian flavors (maybe some spicy mayo). We started with this creative version of sushi called Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice. The Small Plates section includes all different types of appetizers, such as lobster wontons, Thai crab cakes, a TAO temple salad, and much, much more. I found it light and refreshing (tasted healthy!), but lacking much flavor. We started with a Soy Paper Roll ($16) filled with crunchy quinoa, shrimp, tuna, and salmon.
There are also many creative maki rolls with all sorts of fun, crowd-pleasing ingredients, like the TAO Angry Dragon Roll with eel and kabayaki sauce or the Spring Mountain Roll with spicy king crab and lobster, spicy tuna, and avocado.
#TAO ASIAN BISTRO FULL#
The restaurant has a full sushi bar, thus the menu includes a wide variety of sushi and sashimi. The menu is massive and covers all types of food. So I was curious to see what the food was like. However, the quality of food on the Strip is quite high, and of all places, I could imagine the Venetian having the resources to hire talented chefs to pull of food from many different geographical regions. It's hard to execute so many diverse dishes and make them all really good. Usually when I hear about a restaurant that offer food from so many different Asian countries, I become a bit suspicious. It's impressive, over-the-top, and oh-so-Vegas. The dining space is huge and very impressive, with a multi-story tall Buddha, an infinity koi pool filled with Japanese goldfish, and even waterfalls. Tao Asian Bistro is the restaurant side that serves a variety of Asian dishes with influences from China, Japan, and Thailand. Another part of Tao that is open all days of the week is Tao Asian Bistro.
