Jap foood OMGOMGOMGOMGGGGGGGGGG! >_<

ahh that’s annoying having people like that as a reminder to tell you that you must finish da food! yikes… i hate that! anyways, those boneless fish as you claimed is my favourite… i called it “pregnant fish” cause there are white roes inside da fish tummy, yummy!!!

WOw! I didn’t know you all ordered so many things! Did you and your friends manage to finish it all?

hahhaha… i hv the same experience also… the waitresses kept nagging, don’t waste food, don’t waste food… but I went to the Auto City branch. their decoration was amazing!!!

The cod fish seems burnt. Interesting effect on the deep fried wanton skin.

Ohhhh….looks good. I actually planned to go there with friends. Now that you’d blog about it, I know what to order. lolz! Thanks for putting up the post. Scallops looks good. maybe I just order scallop with sashimi…kakakaka…

At the end of the meal, did you tell the waitress “Ei, see we finish all our food didn’t we?” hahaha!

I had rubber cuttle fish before too but it was at Sakae. I told them about it and changed twice they still come out as ‘rubber’ =.= Nothing can be done as they are prepacked.

Wow! It looks like a really good offer and it seems like a wide variety of food! Link me … i am a flogger too!

The boneless fish is shishamo… it is famous because it is FILLED with roe inside!!! Yum…

And I don’t think you did justice to Tao… maybe the E-Gate one sucks… but the Autocity one is FABULOUS!!! Love the in-house design… and love the FOODDDDDDDDD~~~~ Bring it on!

i thinking of going to have my quarterly dinner there… with few malay colleagues also.
Anyone know whether the food HALAL?

what i am not satifying with it is the shasimi.it’s using local ikan siakap.. oh my god.. they just given you some salmon in a plate. single order for salmon only is not allowed.. do u think worth it for shasimi portion?.. but the scallop was good for me.. oh ya .. another the intresting stuff is they called tata fish but actually that food is deep fried with dolly fish and dipp with tatar sauce.. sometime very hard to judge by the name of the food better ask before u order. another example is a dragon roll in tao, the name sound good right? in other way the dragon roll portion is huge and too much rice on the roll and not the fish..(this the way they earning money) i feel like a little bit cheating.. i more prefer Seafood buffet in G hotel rather than TAO..

The Japanese Tao buffet, issit they served the new menu ?? i just like Japanese food

Comment for T@o’s GOOD!!GOOD!!GOOD!!GODD!
AND VALUE VALUE VALUE VALUE

wat a feast! i wish i could feed myself with all these. miss the eating out session with frens. sigh… have been grounded at house for quite a long time.

the hotate seems good!!!

i went for this tao buffet with my girlfriends during xmas eve and guess what…after the buffet, i vomitted non-stop for 4 days…i duno wheter the food there was ‘dirty’ or my tummy just cant tolerate with all the food (raw+grilled+stew+fried+spicy+cold+stir+soup+other rojaks) hahaha…anyway, the buffet time is abit too short for us to enjoy fully, mayb they should consider to lengthen the buffet time..

Ei! no phone number arr..

Tao Cuisine Japanese Buffet in E-Gate, Penang | Malaysia Food Blog, Malaysia Travel Blog…

Tao Cuisine Japanese Buffet in E-Gate, Penang. It costs less than RM60 per person. All food are prepared when ordered….

Although food and atmosphere are good bt the service provided in autocity is very sucks. You wont get the table u wanted even they have promised when u call for reservation. They seem like dont bother to help to settle the matter when you complaint even will pull long their face and show the color to you. Bad attitude in all aspects from their staffs in all level. There will be my final dinning at this restaurent..

really lousy….presentation sucks, most of all its not fresh. just another con…..

is dere ladies night at tao lounge at autocity??
everyday got diff event at tao right??
exp.. thursday is ladies night =p??

Went yesterday night with colleague eat until cannot move then pack at side. is value if go with all male which go with empty stomach and grab all nice foods there and somemore bring Toa Discount card, then more GREAT…

vk: TAO has a discount card? How much is the % being discounted?

discount card can apply once u get 10 pcs of Tao bills and is free and Discount rate is 10%.

vk: 10%! That’s quite nice! but getting 10pcs of bills is kinda hard lol

For those Birthday on that month also entitle to get discount, but not sure how many %..

Don’t know bout the one in BM but the one in E Gate is really disappointing. Not only are the portions small,but for the rolls the put extra rice instead of filling.

Not only that, E gate branch a bit stingy with the wasabi, only half a tablespoon for two. Have to constantly ask for wasabe.

The nagging is understandable, but what really takes the cake is although I went in late round 1.30, and they close round 2.15. When I was still there and trying to impress a potential gf, they went and shut the air conditioning.

Come on its the unwritten rule in restauranting that as long as there is a customer in the premise, you don’t show signs of closing. Closing the air conditioning is too much, like chasing away customers.

Didn’t give me a good impression on the service level of the tourism industry in Penang.

And what’s so really nailed it was this was my first time in Penang hahahah

You won’t see me going back there for some time.

vk: I have to agree that TAO at E-Gate is not that great.. but I have been hearing that TAO at autocity is very very good. Ambiance is better too.. sorry if you took this experience to compare the tourism industry in Penang Some restaurants’ management really need to buck up… If I was you I’d be furious too.. somemore bring a potential gf along.. zzz

Thanks for the great post. Seems like it’s really a value money meal! There’s another Japanese buffet restaurant called Shogun (under the same company group of Sasaki) which offers buffet at about the same price. They have outlets in KL, 1U, Sunway Pyramid (these are the places which I know of)

Does this Tao have any branches in KL? =)

Shen’s last blog post..What’s On Your Mind?

vk: I don’t think TAO has any branches in KL

Well, let me tell u my experience in Tao Auto City.
The food & environment is nice. The service is good. So I bought extra vouchers at RM400 and utilised RM200, unfortunately my handbag was stolen and the RM200 balance was gone. I launched the police report and forward 1 copy to the PIC somewhere around Dec2007. Despite calling, email & fax, until to-date, there is no reply from anyone from the TAO management. Oh my goodness, what kind of management is this. I have to tell my friends whoever dine in, and the rest of u, don’t buy the vouchers as u only buy a piece of paper which can not let u dine in at all when they were stolen! Anyway, I m going to Tribunal to fight for my right as a consumer.

i went tao before once and fall in love with the lam chop since.. The service is good. I like the toilet design as well.. haha. There’s only one birthday promotion which is during may, their anniversary. Anyone’s birthday on May will entitled to 50% discount. That’s really a good deal right. But too bad, only during May. Been there only once but will go there again of course.

Tao Cuisine Japanese Buffet in E-Gate, Penang | Malaysia Food Blog, Malaysia Travel Blog…

Tao Cuisine Japanese Restaurant serves all you can eat Japanese cuisine for RM45++. As far as I know there are two outlets in Penang, E-Gate and Autocity. My last department dinner was held in E-Gate’s Tao so here I am presenting the food we had….

yea! I went there twice. It’s really worth the money. For those who are not a fan of sashimi, it’s just RM 35++ per pax during lunch without sashimi. I love the cod fish, grilled salmon and the scallop the most! 3 of my friends came all the way from KL to over just to eat Tao @ Auto City. I went for dinner the first time and it was so crowded but was less crowded for lunch and cheaper coz we chose those without sashimi. You can still get those sushi at the sushi counter. =)It’s a must go place for japanese lovers.
