Unsere Bewertung basiert darauf das wir selbst Asiaten sind und weltweit schon viel Dim sum…read moreprobiert haben. Alles war insgesamt durchschnittlich bis unterdurchschnittlich. Das beste waren immer noch die frittierten mochis mit Fleischfüllung. Die Grünen vegetarischen dumplings die in den Bewertungen auf Google gehyped worden sind waren absolute unterirdisch. Die Garnelen belle hatten zu wenig crunch draußen und waren leider auch nicht die besten. Da ist dschunke deutlich besser. Natürlich haben wir nur frittiertes bestellt, aber nach dem Essen haben wir uns gefühlt wie die letzten Menschen. Service war nett. Ich würde hier nicht noch mal herkommen, auch wenn wir nur überwiegend Dim Sum probiert haben. Da gibt es deutlich bessere in Düsseldorf. Bestellempfehlungen sind: alles was mit Garnelen zu tun hat stecken lassen. Und nur die Mochi Bälle mit Fleischfüllung waren ok aber Heavy. Die Garnelen Bälle aufjedenfall skippen genau wie die Grünen dumplings.

Damn. Well that dream's over. Living most of the year in a U.S. city with the third largest Chinese populace, you get to know the difference between good dim sum and bad dim sum. Especially when your ex-boss ordered it for lunch every day of the working week to share with employees. Broken down, there are 37 dim sum restaurants within an 8 mile radius of where I live. In Düsseldorf I believe there are only 3. That said, I've ordered everything on the menu at Tao. Some I like more than others, but overall most are good. It's not cheap by U.S. norms, but if you're missing decent-to-good dim sum, I believe this to be the best one in NRW.

FOOD & DRINKS While they offer menu items, I wouldn't…read moresuggest you get those. Just get the all you can eat hot pot like everyone else. You have different options for the broth which also includes a vegetarian variant. The selection of seafood, meats and veggies is large enough to make everyone happy. They even offer some dim sum and snack items on top of your all you can eat hot pot. That said, most of the dim sum items are not good if you compare it to a dim sum specialized restaurant but since its all you can eat, you can give some a try. I just wouldn't recommend it with a few exceptions like the desert or snack items. Lately they even offer a lobster broth and one serving of premium beef, a bit of lobster and crab. The meat and seafood items have ok quality. I wouldn't say its the best I've gotten at an all you can eat place but decent enough. SERVICE I would say the service is good. Very friendly and always helpful. The first time was the best though. The owner took the time to greet us in person, explained everything carefully and just showed a lot of care. ATMOSPHERE While the previous location was kinda small, the new restaurant is quite large with lots of seating available inside and outside. The best about this hot pot is that everyone has their own pot. It is like your own personal fondue. No need to restrict yourself to specific broths when you come with a party that also includes vegetarians. RATING I have been here when they still had the location in the city center. Then I visited them when they newly opened at a larger place a bit outside of the city center and since then I have been here on a few celebration occasions. The rating is based on all the experiences I had so far. They improved over time in terms of service and overall quality.
