Japans Restaurant TAO — Restaurant in Enschede

This place had been warmly recommended to us but we will not be going there again. The meal started great and I can recommend the horomaki and beef tataki. The fried rice was just OK but the wait in between the dishes was very long and with very little service. The wagyu, 60€ per 100g, was horrendously expensive for what we received and was served cold which ruined the entire experience. The placement of tables really doesn't allow the waiters to see you and attend to the tables properly, the light is also very dimmed and the ambiance very loud. The lights are so dimmed that our waiter could not see the very obvious red stains on the spoons and had to replace it 3 times before we could get a clean one. They forgot us for dessert and had to be reminded to bring the menu, we chose 2 surprise desserts for 2 people each: one normal and one for gluten and dairy intolerance. The normal one was a huge disappointment with sorbets and not so nice accompaniments. The one for the dietary restrictions was horrendous though, somehow the sorbets were different than the normal ones (mango, lemon and cherry from clearly different brands than the normal ones even though they are both sorbets) and tasted like chemicals. This was paired with some fruits that were not even ripe. All in all we thought we would get a high quality restaurant but got an overly pricey experience with mediocre food that was way too expensive for what it was and very poor service due to the...

Very disappointing. The food was ordinary and the price was too high.

The service was okay.. but not good enough for what we paid.

We chose the chef menu 2 and it came with soy beans (basic), a soup (it was ok), the sushi had a truffle maionese and a kimchi flavour maionese that it was also served in the warm dishes afterwards (warm maionese as a sauce).

The grilled fish had no flavour, the meat dish was ordinary.

We finished with cheesecake and ice cream that didn’t feel homemade, it was supermarket quality.

The music was loud and the waiting time between dishes was too long.

This experience was too low for the high...

i'd have to say the food is delicious, but the service doesn't match with its class, we didn't get a good service. the waitress servered us a main course which we didn't order, she insisted that we ordered, then she told us the price would be adjusted due to her mistake, but eventually shdi didn't adjust, she asked other guy to help us check the bill. so we had to pay the food which was actually ordered 'by her'. that's ridiculous! i don't think I...
