Tao Cuisine - Japanese Restaurant



My first visit to Tao Cuisine at Auto-city was after they launched not long ago in auto-city. At that time, I didn't get to eat much because the serving were extremely slow. As a result, we all didn't enjoy much. However, few of my frens kept saying that Tao's buffet is nice, the oysters are good... and so, I couldn't get out of their temptations. I want to try on the oysters !

I lured hubby about the oysters in Tao and hahaha... he scheduled one dinner with his friend together. :-)

This is my 2nd visit to this restaurant. My kids and I like the environment much. The natural decorations with man-made fountains made this place refreshing and cosy to dine in.

We started unagi Set for our kids. 1 Set each for them. Ed consumed the whole plate while Ern didn't like it at all.

After a whole place of unage, Ed continued with california roll.
Again, Ernest did not have a bite at all.


Chawan Mushi (Steam egg) - Ordered for Ed and Ern too. This one, both of them finished. It's one of their favorites.


Grill fish (I was told that the dish is called Miso Sake) and Salmon Roll with papaya. Both this dishes tastes ultimate ! One that you musn't missed.

My Favorite Sashimi !!!! Nmmm... wow.... so tasty and fresh !

To our disappointment, they didn't have oyster that Friday but instead offered us scallop. We tried a plate. If you like hot and spicy, you'll love this dish. But not for me. Hubby's friend like it.


We did ordered sushi set, miso soup, fried udon, mutton curry and also fried crab meat. The mutton curry and fried crab meat is nice.

Grill salmon for salmon lovers.

As salmon is also one of my favorites, (yes, I have many favorites. hihi), I tried as much different salmon cookings as possible. The bottom dish is called the Salmon Skin. This dish gives you the original taste of salmon (sake in Japanese).

Our last order was Green Tea ice-cream. Although we were so full that we really couldn't finish what we'd ordered, the waitress still recommend us to try on their Green Tea ice-cream. So, each of us had one except Ernest. He doesn't favor ice-cream. nmm... It's really good.

So, overall rating for this time. 70% satisfied !

Why? Because they limited our dining time to 8:30pm for Fri to Sun (buffet time is 7pm to 8:30pcs). We reached at 7:30, so, we only had an hour to eat. Secondly, we didn't have our oysters which was the driver that brought us there. :-(

The buffet costs RM 45++ for adult and 1/2 price for children below 12. From 7:00pm to 8:30pm. (It seems that there's no time limit for Mon to Thur). You may call to confirm at below details.

Maybe it was not so good at the beginning. Now, I think, it is ok. Can give it a try for an environment change. ;-)
