Tao Cafe, Perth, Australia Review

Been here quite a few times and service isn't to good 90% of the time. Some times you don't even get a waitress coming to your table to take your order after 15 odd minutes. You have to hail your own waitress.

Food is very bland and "commercial" not authentic at all really. Spring rolls are very bland and when I asked originally for veggy spring rolls, I was asked by the waitress if I wanted satay with them? Um yes I guess? Then I was brought out tofu with satay. When I said this is not what I ordered the waitress got quite upset at me. No my fault you didn't write it down or double check the order.

There were boiled eggs!!?? in the Laksa? Well half an over boil egg......Steamed rice was hard. Could of made it all at home ourselves really and it would of ended up better and cheaper.

Tired it a few times and every time disappointed.

I eat here often and the food is very good the staff are very helpful professional and always smile.

For all you Winging princesses ...get a life!sometimes the place is busy and you won't get served within 30 seconds. Stop being a wombat and thinking you have a right to complain and Winge about every little thing that doesn't go your way .

Good service. Not as much choice as usual. Dumplings were cold and hard off the sushi train but server bought out fresh ones when asked.

Here as often as I can be! Great service and yummy food

Their Katsu chicken meal is the best in Vic Park. Mostly friendly staff. Sushi train is of good quality but be warned; it's very easy to spend upwards of $45 for two people here, more if you're buying drinks also.

Great food, great portions, reasonably priced, friendly service and pretty quick

Food is consistent & reliable. You'll always get what you're expecting & portions are large!

Good variety of food choices on the menu and train, including vegetarian options. Great service as well :) can get very busy

Nice place. Great if you want to order for a bunch of people cause of variety. Had the Pineapple fried rice with chicken and some Jasmine Tea. Music wasn't stupid loud either which was nice.

Expansive menu of average quality. Expensive to boot. Pass.

Favourite place but can sometimes have a limited variety of plates to choose from.

Good range of fresh sushi, price according to the plate color, desserts were ok but not really Japanese. Nice interior and friendly staff.

Good food, reasonable prices, service ok felt the place is little under-staffed...

Had a Salmon Bento box and a Thai red curry, both were very nice!

Excellent place for dinner and so many choices. Sushi bar Japanese Thai and Vietnamese. If I had more time I would go back

My weekend place. They serve all types of Asian dishes, I can't comment on the authenticity but food doesn't taste bad.

Tao is one of my favourite restaurants, whether is the Myaree, Vic Park or Belmont restaurant their meals are amazing and consistent.

Nice place for fast and fresh food, consistent service and choice. We had to get to a show so ate very fast but loved the sushi train food choices. Service was a little slow (at a quiet time - early evening) but they got there eventually and were helpful. Liked some of their spins on the sushi-crab filling on top, and many others.

Always a favourite. Fresh food very well cooked and presented. The first place I ever ate in Aus in 2014 it s never disappointed. We collected tonight (cut out the uber middleman commission) as always the best food. I m looking forward to eating off the sushi train ASAP
Thank you xxx

Clean and quick fix for food. Interesting selection and friendly staff

One of my girlfriends favorite places to eat. Amazing food and customer service. The servings are really generous which makes us want to keep coming back. Would highly recommend as it has something for everyone.

Great but had to wait for a barista to start work before getting coffee great for kids however watch the number of plates it soon adds up

Awesome place, great choice in dishes and nice portion sizes. Some of the sushi train choices look a bit old and tired, but overall really good restaurant.

Two words

Hawaiian roll!!!!

The vibe here is fantastic. The service is awesome! Food is delicious and they have lots of vegetarian and vegan options.

Wasn t impressed with their sushi and rolls.
The table was sticky and far from clean. Same as their plastic chopsticks.
On the contrary this place is quite cheap and the staff are very pleasant.

Always clean with friendly polite and very helpful staff. Love the sushi train and the a la carte.

NEVER ORDER THEIR BEEF TATAKI. Beef Tataki is meant to be thin partial raw slices of beef in sauce. Their Beef Tataki was THICK and overcooked. Total waste of my money.

Did not enjoy - always avoid going to places with huge menu as you know they wont keep things fresh nor they can keep up with the quality - there are much better places to visit - for sushi i will definelty pick a Japanese restaurant nearby that serves much better sushi !

Delicious as always and very well prices. Thanks guys!

Always good food at the right price, we eat here alot and always bring the kids who love the train, never had a dud feed

Sushi Train. Excellent staff. Always friendly and welcoming

Food in here didn't satisfy my expectations.. the price for what I ate was too much

This place serves delicious food with very generous serves! Everything tastes super fresh and the service is great.

Especially the manager Marc is doing an amazing job and is handling everything very professional!

5 Stars!

Great quality food and customer service! Lots of parking at rear near the IGA as well is really convenient.

OMG!! Gone are the days when sushi train was an awesome cheap meal!
While the variety is great the price is high.
Very sad
OMG on the sushi train, 2 (yes 2!!) oysters $7.90!!!!
3 pieces of salmon sashimi $6.90
A jelly cup $4.90!!

Sigh
And this is why the death of the sushi train is happening, greed is not always good

Fresh food. Always is a great experience to go there. Fresh sushi train and, amazing and huge menu. No split bills.

Ambience is very nice but unfortunately standard of food could be much better. Salmon is not fresh, tempura vegetable is almost paper thin, rice is dry and tasteless so is the accompanying salad.

Great selection of food. Sushi train or al carte menu. Food yummy

It a bit hit and miss with consistency, some items on the Sushi train seem to not be available for months at a time and there is way too many desserts.

Went in close to closing time, the staff didn't rush us and allowed us to sit & finish our meal & drinks in peace. When everything else was shutting half an hour before the advertised time, this was refreshing

$20 for a very mediocre katsu chicken bento box. If you want extra sauce they'll charge you another $2. Most expensive katsu ive ever had.

Food isn t bad. Always very clean and service is top notch

Excellent casual dining - amazing Vietnamese salad which I loved - pork cutlet, pork spring rolls and the sauce all had incredible flavor (much better than other Vietnamese places next door). Agadashi tofu was brilliant and array of sushi options - all thumbs up. Have been back twice in recent times.

Love it here great food good hospitality i dont know how to post pictures but the sushi train rocks come here and try it

Love this place! Just moved close and have been almost everyday this week, and will definitely be returning!

Their food served are always fresh and their asian noodles are the best in Perth!

Very Good Service, Have maybe a bigger serve of the dish and lower prices. Overall, It was a great lunch.

Soooooo yummy. Go on in and have a home made sausage roll

We came for lunch on Thursday.The food were amazing. Service with a smile by a lovely lady.She certainly brightened our day. A smile as bright as the sun.

Better selection on the sushi train than most dedicated sushi places. Good range of cakes and pastries made in house. Perhaps too good ... as i have regretably had two occasions where the cake was dry stale and a good few days old. Other than that its all good

Picked up some pad Thai while I was driving near By ... not that great would give it a miss

I expected sushi train to be pricey and this was no exception. Light dinner for two was over $50. But there was little sushi most of it was tuna or seafood highlighter. And it was bland. Not a fan

Pretty disappointing. The quality of food is low compare to what they charge. Very slow service.

Great classic sushi train! Fresh food and a good night out for all.

The sushi is so good, although is a little on the expensive side the quality is worth the price tag. The booths are great, and being able to order a meal off the menu while getting sushi off the train is really nice. Plus if you feel like it you can have a glass (or a bottle) or wine! Last time I went it was a Wednesday and they had a dish of the night (I don t think it was actually called that, but it was something along those lines) which that night was the pad thai and it was only $10. Such good value! And such a yummy meal.

the wait staff are so darn helpful that I forget everything else

I love ur food so much thanks for being here Tao fresh and tasty every time I love ur food and great amount of food

It was nice, not as many selections on the train as I would like but appreciate that wastage or cold food may be a driver

The worst customer service experience i have ever had will never go back food was sub par as well

Bad customer service and the food was very average. Extremely long wait time, and messed up my order. Don t recommend.

I've been here a few times and they're always great. Friendly service, food comes out fast, a variety of dishes on the sushi train. The staff are friendly and helpful, they are happy to recommend dishes. There's a sushi train for a quick meal, but there's also a kitchen where you can order Japanese, Vietnamese, or Thai foods. They are all prepared fresh and are delicious, though the Japanese is the best in my opinion! The only bad thing I have experienced so far is that it can get quite loud inside and the layout of the restaurant doesn't have very good acoustics. Overall, Tao is a great place to go, whether it's a date night or family dinner.
