I have been using citysearch for a while now and never felt so compelled to write somethig until now. TAO is one of those places that gets so hyped by word of mouth and does not live up to any of it. The ambience is OK and the food is sub par for the prices. The best part is the bar area and of course the drinks are super expensive. I don't mind paying a decent dollar in a place that really delivers and TAO is definitely not one of them. If you have a take out asian place that you love, it's most likely better food than TAO.
