Food was eatable but clearly precooked and microwaved! Ordered 4 meals, starters, rice, noodles and salt and pepper chips all to come out at the same time. Food was all on the table in less than 5 minutes. I made a point of walking past the kitchen and looking through the window to see 1 chef in a hoodie and body warmer utilising “chef Mike”. I didn’t complain at the time as this would have ruined our family celebration and out of respect to the other tables eating. I did call back afterwards and spoke to the manager who told me everything was cooked fresh from scratch and that they had special gas to cook faster as well as having 3 chefs in the kitchen? Chicken alone would take 5-6 minutes to cook never mind ribs, beef, chips ect… I appreciate side orders such as rice and noodles would be pre-made but the price does not by any means reflect the quality of food!! On a separate note they also try to con you when ordering drinks. One of my guests ordered an amoretto and coke. The waitress advised it was £8 for a single or £10 for a double. Only ordering a single I was surprised when the bill only showed £5. Clearly they bank on people thinking they are getting a “deal” by doubling up when clearly there is no benefit and the staff are obviously trained to mislead and manipulate guests. WOULD NOT GO BACK IF THE MEAL WAS FREE…. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE VALUE FOR MONEY, SERVICE AND FORGETTABLE FOOD. Give it a wide birth!!!!

We only found this place when visiting Osma and so glad we did, cannot fault the price so reasonable. We had the set meal for 2 and didn’t need to change anything, all dishes were piping hot and very tasty. Restaurant atmosphere lovely and staff were faultless, very friendly and attentive. Absolutely recommend and without a doubt returning. I’m not really a sweet and sour lover but couldn’t stop eating it ? that was a dish we was going to change and so glad we didn’t

Ordered king prawn chow mein. Food was good but VERY expensive and smaller portions than elsewhere. As good as the food was, I would not pay almost £13 for a takeaway meal for one from here again. It was not worth that price.

Great place to dine in and take out didn't know they deliver there are a few times we wanted to stay in and have a movie night in and have a lovely meal delivered from taos sizzling steak, with soft noodles, egg fried rice, sweet n sour king prawns, dim sum with sauce, excellent. but can you deliver as far as Pendlebury??Parking: we are lucky to get a parking space

It's been quite a while since we visited Tao's. I think it may have changed hands. The food was OK, though I've had better from our local takeaway. My partner had wonton soup, which was tasteless. I had the duck in orange sauce. Half of the duck on the plate was good, but the other half just seemed to be scrapings off the carcass. It's certainly not the restraunt it used to be. Having said that, the staff were attentive and very pleasant.

We visited here today for my 66th birthday, and quite frankly am confused by the negative comments. It was clean, had a nice atmosphere and pleasant and helpful staff who were happy to provide containers at the end to take home. The food is good, served hot, and we will definitely return. If you wish to experience the absolute opposite try the TCB Bury - Im sure the people providing negative comments about Taos will soon change their tune, the place is a nightmare.
