This was our 2nd visit to TAO and everything was as great as the first time. We arrived early so we could eat before our musical at Pantages. The food was delicious and the service was excellent prompting a very outsized tip. We will definitely return. Brent

Panda Inn Glendale always excels. We ordered one of our favorites, Sweet and Pungent Chicken, with a request for extra crispy and it was done to perfection! We also had green beans and rice, and okay, some wine. We stopped by for a delicious lunch before heading next door to the Laellme for a movie. The meal and service were perfect. We were greeted with such kindness and the service was perfectly timed. Sarah, our server, was a joy. Thank you Panda Inn!
