Tao Restaurant & Lounge

Wasn't bad, the atmosphere is you know Fed Way.... so that should warn you.
The inside was very nice, enjoyed myself, music was great.  I went on Friday.
Drinks were a bit pricey but hey I expect it!

Let's jst say for being in federal way this place it's way to nice.  This place was super clean and very nice in side.   Happy hour was way good with GREAT FOOD!! And even better DRINKS!!! I will for sure return.  Can't wait to return. It's good to finially have a nice bar in federal way. I mean jonny's and lollies are fun. But not so nice On the inside.  Bartenders at tao are top notch!!

We went there on one of their "soft" grand opening nights and like the previous person said the inside has some really cool decor.  

Lets talk about the menu:  It was happy hour and the happy hour food deals looked good and priced well.  We ordered a thing of the wings and an order of spring rolls.  Each of the items was $4.00 so that seemed cool.  We got the wings and sure enough it was 5 really small wings, they tasted great but only 5 wings? The regular price of the wings was $7.00 i believe, total rip off.  The spring rolls were 2 spring rolls for $4.00 reg price $7.00 i believe.  They were not rolled very tight and were mediocre at best.  You can go to china town and get 2 spring rolls with peanut sauce for $2.50.    The wells drinks were on special for $4.00 and they were monarch.  I dont know how much they would have been regularly but $4.00 for a monarch well drink, a 1/5th of monarch is like $10.00 so again it was totally not worth it.  We looked at the menu and the prices on the menu were way way over priced.  They had a Surf & Turf for $83.00 and the meet wasnt kobe beef or prime beef.  They had prime rib for $35.00 small cut and $40 or $42 for the bigger cut.  Way way way overpriced,especially for federal way.  Nothing on the their menu was affordable for dinner.  Needless to say I probably wont be going back there unless they do some serious price adjusting.  If you want to spend a ton of money go somewhere else, trust me!

10-18-09 UPDATE:  Like i had said with my previous review, we had went there on a soft opening night, so for the girl who didnt read what i wrote, i have not been there since the grand opening.  I'm sure they did the some price adjustments on the menu, it was just nuts when we had went there, the price of everything so as long as they adjusted the price then i'll go back, i just could afford to spend $150 for 2 people in Federal Way, thats all.
