Tao's Fresh

This review is long overdue, but this is my and my husband's FAVORITE local spot for sizzling plate. Even though we no longer live near the area, when we're visiting family/friends and running errands around the area, we like stopping by to eat at Tao's Fresh. My husband usually orders the #1 beef & rice sizzling plate and I usually get the #4 beef & rice w/ kimchi sizzling plate. It's nice to see elderly people come here with their friends or family. As one of the reviews mentioned, this restaurant is cozy and clean. Tao's Fresh has a small space, but I've never had to wait too long to get seated. Service has room for improvement (staff didn't check on us or fill our water too often), but that's not we come here. We come here for the food! I'm happy that Tao's Fresh has been in the San Lorenzo community for some time now, and hope they'll be here for many more years to come. Parking: If it's not too busy in the plaza, it's very easy to find parking.

Disappointed with Recent Popcorn Chicken Order I’ve been a regular customer, and I’ve always enjoyed the popcorn chicken here. However, my recent experience was disappointing. Unlike my previous orders, this time there was no basil in the popcorn chicken, and the overall quality fell short. It seems like they might be cutting corners. I hope the establishment can maintain the standard I’ve come to expect in the future. I visited earlier today, and while I can’t recall the exact time

The food was amazing!

Excellent. Give it a try. we'll be back

Pepper lunch is supposedly Japanese, but seeing kimchi and soju on the menu made me think this was a Korean place. That’s okay, as long as the food is good, I don’t care what kind of place it is. Met up with a friend here to catch up and try something new. I am not familiar with San Lorenzo, but this part of town seems okay. A plaza with plenty of parking so I was relieved that I didn’t have to look for street parking. When I got to the restaurant, I was even more confused. It’s selling milk tea. Then I heard the server speaking in Mandarin. Okay, maybe this place is owned by Chinese. Oh well, perhaps this place has an identity crisis. Lol. I ordered curry beef rice with cheese. It came out sizzling and I had to quickly cook and move the beef slices before they were overcooked. I throughly enjoyed the beef slices. I wish they added more cheese so that the plate was more gooey. Perhaps I was spoiled and ruined by Daeho’s gooey and cheesy Kalbijim, but I digress. This place did a decent job of making pepper lunch dishes. I would go back and maybe next time I would even order their milk tea.
