I sat at the bar while waiting for everyone to arrive and the bartender was super friendly. Loved my cocktail, and my friends did too. We ordered family style just so that we could try a little of everything. Some favorites were the lobster fried rice which was so flavorful and just a 10/10. I would order that again every time. We also enjoyed their octopus, wings, shishito peppers, and the oxtail dumplings. The steak and the tempura shrimp were also delicious. I'll be coming back for sure.

Went for the Endless Brunch at TAO Downtown and had a nice experience…read more Impressive, large space with dramatic decor. As advertised, it was a great variety of food - there is definitely something for everyone. Excellent sushi/sashimi, dim sum and carving stations are just some of the offerings. Impressive dessert display to finish. It was very busy on the day we went (it was Father's Day) so drinks and water refills took a little while but otherwise service was fine. Worth trying.

Looking for a Chinese restaurant because my daughter is a Beef and Broccoli and Egg Drop Soup…read moreaddict. We visited Miss Wonton for the first time. Although Miss Wonton is a very small takeout only eatery, there is a short corridor to the bagel and breakfast restaurant next door where I'm told you can sit down with your Chinese food. My wife also ordered Taiwanese Rice Noodles to share with me. It took a long time for our order to come out, but my daughter absolutely loved her Beef and Broccoli, and gobbled it down like there was no tomorrow. The Egg Drop Soup was good, but personally I wish it was just a little thicker with more egg drop. My wife usually complains that such and such dish has too much salt, but she really savored the Taiwanese Noodles and so did I - super scrumptious. I'm not always in this area, but if I am, I will be back to try other menu items. Miss Wonton gets 4 stars.

If you enjoy a little struggle with your dessert, this is the place for you…read more You're asked to surgically open your boba cup with a skewer, and good luck poking enough holes without spilling. The wood(?) straws are either too small for the bloated bubbles or immediately defeated when they clump together, so sipping becomes a full-body effort. As for the mochi donuts: one (the raspberry) was good. The other (biscoff) was impressively stale. 50/50 odds - not terrible, not great, definitely a gamble. I had been here before when it was clean, solid, and genuinely enjoyable, which makes this visit more disappointing. This time, our table had drops of tea on it, and the place was mostly empty aside from a group of very loud, older, regulars who seemed to think we were intruding on their personal hangout. Edit since I can't reply to the owner directly: when asked for a straw, this IS what the girl at the counter provided. She was also the one who told us to poke the holes in the lid and provided the skewers to do so.

I had two lychee martinis which are so good. Then we had shumai (vegetable and pork), crispy chicken wings, yucca fries, calamari which are surprisingly good, scallion pancakes and more. I also had sashimi which is so fresh and tasty. Very very good happy hour experience. Will come back!

I got my 3 bowls it was alreadypacked in a bag, the employee asked it I was going a long ways and offered me a larger bag (it was pouring outside) . I declined the bigger bag as I had a tote that could carry everything. I want to mention the service my son and I received here. The guys were genuinely friendly, warm and welcoming. On a day when I was already half soaked and cold little niceties are appreciated. From the moment we walked in the greeting was so warm, like come let's take care of you and feed you. A simple gesture more establishments need to extend, this is the first impression of service. The restaurant was clean, food was great and service top tier. When I got home and unpacked the bowls I saw that they had put rubber bands around each bowl to secure them and our sauces had been plastic wrapped so they wouldn't pop apart. Our dinner was prepared with true ONGI. My son has been back 3 times already, it's always a pleasurable experience. Greta job here.

You can order via a menu that you mark up with either customizing a bowl or pre-made bowls. I chose to customize my bowl. Liked how they let you chose 2 proteins. I chose the bulgogi and garlic shrimp with radish, kimchi and scallion. There are various sauces & you can choose 2 as well. I chose the Korean BBQ & sweet & spicy. The service is very quick. Meal came out nice and hot. Bulgogi was very well marinated and flavorful. Didn't taste much garlic for the shrimp. The bowl overall with the protein, toppings and sauce was good & I would order again to try different proteins. Really appreciated a hot meal on a gloomy, rainy Monday.

I also really liked the interior - it was simple yet elegant.
