Kimchi Beef Rice
Vivian L.

Been here two times but it's my first time reviewing it. There is a QR code on the table. We got the beef with rice, beef with kimchi and rice, and beef with udon & they were all good! I personally like the udon more than the rice. Food came out within less than 5 minutes. There's also teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, and garlic soy sauce if you wanted to add that in too. This time, we also got the taro smoothie with less ice and sweetness and it was good. I got the popcorn chicken last time and it was okay! After when you're done eating, you go up to the front and pay. It's a small restaurant with about 6 tables. There's a parking lot outside connected to other restaurants. I would come back here again! It was quick service & good food!

The service was fast/ quick. The QR code on the corner of each table is helpful, but you va also order at the counter. The spam musubi was great! And the macaroni salad was good also. Parking all around the front and side of building. Plenty parking in shopping center. And they have a restroom for customers only.

Easy to miss spot near Arroyo High School. Tao's Fresh is located next to R&D Cafe on the corner of Grant Ave and Channel St. I came here for a lunch with my siblings and we were able to be seated right away with water cups. You can order items off the menu using the QR code at the table and pay your bill through the link as well. Service is fast and I was impressed by how tasty the food here was. My niece loves getting the strawberry latte and spam musubi here. As for me, I got the golden eel sizzling plate and seasoned calamari. You can customize the toppings on your sizzling plate using the website and they leave sauce options on the table for more customization. The plate was well balanced with meat and rice and the seasoned calamari was really tasty! Overall great choice for lunch or dinner.

Butter Chicken Garlic Butter Rice

Such a great find while traveling for work. Food was very good. I had the chicken with butter garlic. It came on a hot plate and was scorching but I really liked that it continued to caramelize as I ate it (first time with this kind of dish). The flavor was great.

Seasoned Calamari

Came in around 4pm on a weekday and it was not that busy! Tao's Fresh has a small interior but there is a lot of parking. It is located near a school so some students were hanging around and eating but they were not that loud. You order your meal through your phone by QR code and you pay at the register (you can split the bill if needed later). The entrees came out first with the drinks and the appetizer came out a little while later (I had forgotten we had ordered one by the time it arrived). I ordered the curry cheese beef udon and it smelled really good when it came to the table. I mixed everything around so it would cook evenly - I thought that it wouldn't need anything extra for the taste but I felt like it wasn't flavorful enough still so I added some of the sauces that is provided on your table and it became really good. The seasoned calamari was okay, the exterior was crispy and the inside was a bit rough and chewy. I wish it came with a dipping sauce but my friend that I went with said it was fine without one and that she really enjoyed it so I guess it's up to personal preference! I also got the strawberry salted cheese smoothie and enjoyed every bit of it. Overall, I think this restaurant is solid when you're craving a sizzling plate but I don't think anything about this place is different from other similar restaurants except maybe their drinks based on the meal I had.

Curry Cheese Beef Udon
Sophia H.

My cousin and I came here for lunch on a Tuesday, just before noon. This restaurant is on the smaller side, but luckily it wasn't very busy when we arrived. Each table has a QR code for ordering. We both got sizzling plates. My cousin ordered the Curry Cheese Beef Udon, and I ordered the Chicken Egg Noodles. Our food came out pretty quickly after placing our order. I really enjoyed the Chicken Egg Noodles. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The Curry Cheese Beef Udon was also good, but my cousin and I both liked the chicken sizzling plate more. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but the flavor of the curry beef udon just wasn't 100% there for me. Maybe I would've liked it better with rice? There's a high school across the street. At around noon, a wave of students came in and filled the restaurant. Something to keep in mind if you plan on coming here on a weekday!

Popcorn Chicken
Eugene L.

What a Cool little hole in the wall Eatery!!!! Hidden in a Sleepy old Strip Mall!!! Plenty of Parking!!! Minimum Charge of $10 for Credit Card Usage !!!! Taos Fresh!!!! I parked right in front like a Boss !!! Then I rolled in and Grabbed a Table right away!!! A Server Greeted me and Brought me a Menu , Utensils and Cold Water!!! I perused the menu and Ordered a Beef Udon Sizzling Plate and Popcorn Chicken for an Appetizer!!! I also ordered a Strawberry Matcha Latte and a Strawberry Smoothie for Dessert!!! Both were Delicious and Refreshing!!!! My Beef Udon and Popcorn Chicken- Both Items were Delicious and Well Made Portions are Good!!! Service is Friendly and Efficient!!! I would definitely recommend them and return. This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!

Popcorn chicken: good!
Sandra K.

Came here on a weekday at 6pm and had to wait about 30 mins for a table. Popular little hidden spot in SLZ. Food here was pretty good, just not wowed. Our table ordered: Curry beef cheese udon: looked good, not my fav curry flavor. Udon was a little mush as it cooked in the hot plate. Beef rice cheese: good flavor, like the cheesy pull. Wished the plate was hotter to sear the rice and meat a bit more. Beef udon: next time I should add the teriyaki and soy before mixing the plate. Beef needed some flavor. And garlic butter needed a bit more garlic. Udon became super soft by the end of dinner. Popcorn chicken: yum! Good crunch w 5 spice powder. Tempura shrimp: skip! Tiny shrimp w a lot of batter. Lots of parking here, cozy restaurants with not much seating. Service was ok.

It was really simple. I just ordered the basil popcorn chicken because I was in the area. The place is really small and intimate, but it's nice. My total for just the Chicken was $11.03. The young lady at the register was really nice. The popcorn chicken was good, but if I'm being honest, I have had better. Now, if I had never had it before, it would probably be a 10 out of 10. But I would give it about a 7.3 out of 10. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the chicken ‍ , but I will add a picture of the current menu.

#5. Beef with Udon Plate (14,50$)! Plus Egg (1$)!! Plus Veggies (2$)!
Michael S.

For the tenth time in a row I have read this as "Taco's Fresh" and have been confused and a little disappointed when I saw the picture. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant is really good and if I happen to be in the area, I would totally jump on it again, but it's just... tacos, ya know? Yeah, of course you freaking know!! What other food has its own day?! Sure, you can probably make up a bunch of garbage in your head right now, but it is universally agreed upon - Taco Tuesday!! And guess what day it is TUESDAY?! Yooouuuu guessed it! It's Tacoday!!!

Kimchi Beef with Rice Plate

This plaza is underrated. There's a few good places to eat and a big parking lot with plenty of parking. Tao's Fresh is a tiny place located in the corner of the plaza. When you're seated, there's a QR code that's on the edge of all 4 corners of the table and they all share the same tab, no matter which corner of the table you scan your code (I thought that was really cool). So if I added something on the menu, my friends can see it and vise versa on their phones. You can also split the bill or pay altogether. The servers were incredible. Everything came out quickly and they were really nice about it. The meal all came out in togo boxes, except for the sizzling plate meals. Those came out on a sizzling plate, of course. Onto the food itself: This place sells boba and popcorn chicken like any other boba places. I saw their mango smoothie and had to get it. If you're only stopping by for snacks, their popcorn chicken was crunchy and flavorful while their fried fries, while it was a bit bland in flavor, was very crunchy and made up for the blandness. There's salt and pepper on the table where you can add more seasonings to it. Their mango smoothie was deliciously refreshing and creamy until the end. That was my fault since I didn't mix it enough so the end just tasted like creamy ice. Tao's fresh is Asian Fusion so they have Hawaiian bbq as well. The only part of this menu I got was honey walnut shrimp which came as a pretty big portion compare to other places nowadays that sell this same dish and for a more expensive price. I'll come back and try other things such as their bbq plates and spam masubi. The sizzling plates were delicious. I got the Beef with Udon and added an egg and garlic butter. My gf got their kimchi rice with beef plate. You can't go wrong if you're not sure what to order. My plate came with 2 eggs which I really appreciated. I ended up adding garlic soy sauce, a bit of teriyaki and hot sauce on my plate (the three sauces are offered on the table). The kimchi rice was great without any of the extra add ons but the beef got a little dry without it. So the garlic soy sauce was really to keep the beef juicy. It was a great experience dining here with their excellent and quick service. I'll be back to try their Hawaiian bbq dishes. Come check this place out, even if you only want a quick snack and some boba. Their menu is worth looking at. Although, I would never recommend getting a sizzling plate to go, other things travel really well too if you're not interested in a sit down lunch or dinner.

We got the rose oolong tea to try and it was well made! Boba was quite fresh and chewy…read more The space is very quaint so they have a few tables and chairs for out side seating. Overall, the place is friendly and hits the spot for a boba run!

My teen and I were craving some matcha on our way to get groceries and found this spot on Yelp ofc!…read moreSan san is located in the small shopping center off Williams, right before you get to the schools. Parking is a little weird and very limited but luckily for us, we found a spot on the side of the building. There were two young ladies working the store and the menu is basically posted everywhere. My daughter and I immediately gravitated to the banana matcha latte. We also saw they had yummy croissant pastries available, so we decided to give that a try. What we got: 1. 2 banana matcha lattes- 4/10 the matcha was okay but we tasted no banana to it besides the slices of banana. The pudding tasted like regular vanilla. Overall just not what we were anticipating. 2. Brown sugar boba milk? - 0/10 This was just milk with a bit of brown sugar syrup. (See pic) I actually dropped this off to my other daughter and she said she just couldn't drink it. 3. Strawberry croissant- 8/10 This was actually good. The strawberries with the jam and whipped cream were very good. Don't get me wrong, service was fine. They also had a few great items but the actual drinks were mid. I think the matcha needs to change or maybe making it more paste like could help boost the flavor. The brown sugar latte was just not it.
