Had a great experience at this hotpot spot in Leeds. The way the food was presented was fantastic — fresh, colourful, and really well laid out, which made the whole experience feel special. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, making sure we understood everything and felt welcome throughout. It’s also really good value for money, especially for the quality and amount of food you get. A great treat and somewhere I’d happily return to.
The workers were very kind from start to finish especially Lucas, James and more. We came on Friday, and were greeted with very kind hearted hospitality. They were quick to deliver food and checked on us constantly throughout the meal. And one of the waiters kept filling up my water which I appreciated as I kept drinking it. I recommend all to come here, and thank you to all staff who made our day very special.
We discovered the restaurant by chance on a rainy day, and what a pleasant surprise! Tao is my wife’s favorite restaurant in Leeds, and whenever we’re in the city, we make a point of going there. The waiters are very polite, and the service is excellent. As for the food, yes, it’s wonderful, but what we enjoy most is the experience of eating from the hot pots. It reminds us of many places we used to eat in China. This restaurant is a unique experience, and I would highly recommend it to everyone!
TAO is a very nice place to experience hot pot dinners. Food is fresh, very nicely served and quality. A lot to choose from. Big variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Nice and tidy space. Very approachable and easy-to talk to staff. Worth visiting
Went there with my husband and kid, foods are good! They have good selection of foods! Comfy seating. Friendly staffs and owner! They have a printed copy of cooking instruction and guide, so no worries if you never have hot pot before. They also have separate serving utensils for raw meat and cooked foods. Mind that hot pot is a share cooking in a big pot, make sure your group don’t mind this dinning style. Would recommend for any occasions and definitely go back with friends.
