    I'm so excited that Taco rice roll opened in McKinney! Service is fast and efficient. Please if seating and great customer interaction. Very clean, I like this location over the Plano one. Pancake is my favorite so far with side of cold soy milk

    A fantastic spot for a quick, high-quality, authentic Taiwanese breakfast classics. Tao Rice Roll keeps the menu focused and executes everything extremely well. The Traditional Rice Roll is packed with flavor, the Double Egg Pancake was crispy and delicious, and the Salty Soy Milk was comforting and savory. We dined-in, and the restaurant is cozy. Saw lots of folks doing takeout, which was fast and efficient. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend adding Tao Rice Roll your regular rotation without thinking twice. Easy 5 stars.

    Been here now multiple times! This time tried the egg pancake and it's huge! I like it but I rather get a rice roll! My cousins for the eel roll and the Tao roll!

    This place is more like a 3.5 out of 5 stars…read more This store is located inside the food court, and towards the back. I stopped by to pick up some stinky tofu and the popcorn chicken. and it took roughly 10-15 mins for them to make my food. i didn't eat there, and took it to go. You order everything on a ipad kiosk, and one or two people who work in the back will begin to prep your food. out of the two items, the popcorn chicken was definitely the winner. Don't get me wrong, i love good stinky tofu, but it was just alright at this place. The popcorn chicken on the other hand was really good, at least when you get it with medium spice level.

    Solid food court spot! No extra frills and you get what you would expect. Tastes like fairly…read moreauthentic Taiwanese food. The food is pretty decent for the price. I understand prices for food in general have been going up, but this place is bordering being overpriced. You now order through a Chowbus kiosk, which funnily includes a very strong emphasis on how spicy their seasoning is. They were not kidding with that one, their spicy is REALLY spicy!! I wish they had a better system of notifying you that your order is done though. We were waiting for an almost embarrassingly long time before going up to check if our order was forgotten, just for it to be sitting on the counter unattended. We were some of the only people in the entire food court and sat nearby the restaurant, so we definitely would've heard them if they called our order number out. Overall a decent place for a quick meal.

As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

    I absolutely love the rice rolls and egg pancakes here! Great place for a casual breakfast or lunch…read more:) I've been twice in the last few months and would totally visit more frequently if I lived close by. My first visit was on a Saturday just before noon and the place was quite packed; it took a while for us to get our food and they actually ran out of one of the rice rolls that we wanted. My second visit was on a Friday close to 1pm and there were far fewer people; we didn't have to wait in line to order and our food came out relatively quickly. The interior isn't too big, though they have a few tables lining the walls for folks who want to dine in. Otherwise, this place seems to be very popular for takeout. We dined in both times and didn't run into any issues with not being able to find a table once we got our food. Everything we've tried here has been delicious, though we are partial towards the egg pancakes! They are so flavorful (especially with the spicy sauce), and I also really like adding a fried dough stick (you tiao). Their rice rolls are tasty as well and of the ones we've tried, the meicai roll is our favorite (A0 on the menu). Oh, and the cold soy milk is a great drink to go along with the food!

So we decided to skip the heat and go to this place. It was such a lovely surprise. I opened the door and it was a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and so clean! Even the bathrooms were super clean and they have toilet seat covers! Food was also solid. We ordered a bunch of different things to share - calamari, riblets, crab rangoon, edamame, chicken XLB, truffle pork XLB, crispy udon, green beans. Everything had really excellent flavor, not too salty either. Our server was so sweet! She always said, "you're so welcome!" And she was quick to refill our drinks without us even asking. Overall, really great experience.

First, many of the dishes lacked the authenticity. The hot and sour soup wasn't sour at all and was overwhelmed by the flavor of sesame oil. The black bean noodles tasted like instant noodles you could make at home, and we ended up adding black vinegar ourselves just to bring some acidity and balance to the dish. The sweet chili shrimp also didn't taste fresh. At the end of our meal, we literally said "this tasted like Chinese buffet food." The service and dining environment made the experience even worse. Throughout our meal, we constantly heard dishes being slammed around from servers cleaning tables. At one point, something was dropped so hard that dishes shattered across the floor. A trash cart was parked right next to our booth while we were eating, and the staff even started mopping the floor directly in front of us during the lunch rush. I understand that restaurants often hire seasonal staff during the summer, but proper training is still important. The way the dishes were handled throughout our meal was loud, chaotic, and disruptive, making it difficult to enjoy our dining experience. It's unfortunate because our first experience of this restaurant was great, but this visit fell well short of our expectations.
