Wildly addicting, even for someone like me who doesn't handle mala spice well. You get quite a lot of chicken feet per order, and the added bonus is that there are few bones to deal with! Takeout only. Parking in this plaza is always a pain to deal with.

Who hire the poker face cashier??? No service, actually, she didn't even take a look on me, like I am the air. The food may be ok, but definitely won't be there for the service:))))

Picked up some to go after work and been wanting to try this place. Ordered the Szechuan pepper chicken and the spring onion boneless chicken feet. I ordered mild spicy and the heat was still intense but very delicious. It pairs well with white rice. The boneless chicken feet was pricy, it is charged by the pound. For 1 Lb it was $25.99 . I will be back to try their boneless chicken feet.

How have I never reviewed Tao's Kitchen?? All I can say is CHICKEN FEET, CHICKEN FEET, CHICKEN FEET!!!! I was introduced to TK by a friend years ago and when we are in the area, we make sure to stop by and order their boneless chicken feet. I'm not a big fan of mala but it's not as overpowering when they mix it with their marinades. They add peanuts and cilantro inside which makes it even better. You can choose your level of spice too. They have other options such as scallop, octopus, pig's ear, tripe, etc. I've tried a good amount of everything here including their veggies that you can mix into your order. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side per lb, but we'd be more devasted if TK closed down altogether. Also goes great with beer :p

I ordered a few items for take out Tuesday around 11:30am. When I arrived the store, there was only one staff, whom was in the phone taking care of personal business despite seeing me walked into the store and waiting to place an order. She continued to speak on the phone for a few more minutes after I walked in. There was one other costumer that was there talking on the phone with her order in the table inside the store. The store was small, I had to use the restroom, and it was located inside the kitchen. I don't know how in the world the health department would passed the inspection!! After seeing the kitchen and restroom, I've already decided this would be my first and last visit. When the staff finished taking care of her personal business, she was actually very friendly, patient, and helpful. After I placed my order, two more staff came into the store and started making my order. I order a couple pounds of spicy bones less chicken feet and a couple pounds of ginger and onion flavor boneless chicken feet @25.99/lb. In addition, I ordered a couple pounds of assorted beef @15.99/lb I think When I got home, I tried the ginger onion flavor chicken feet. I was quite disappointed. First of all, they are not entirely boneless, secondly, some of the chicken feet smelled and tasted like it was old, one can tell it's not fresh. Maybe my expectations were high, so I was disappointed at this place and for the pricy $26/lb of chicken feet that others are raving about. As for its taste, it was pretty good, so I gave them a 3 star for that. They make their sauces for the chicken feet in front of you with four of the flavor options to chose from. After they mix the sauce in a big container, they tossed in the chicken feet and mix them for flavoring. In summary, there are so many options in this area for Asian food, for $26 a pound of chicken feet, I would rather pay for a crab or lobster in the future.

The chicken feet is the best I ever had! And the front girl is very nice and patient!

The Onion Oil Flavor Chicken is the most popular chicken here with a secretive sauce. The chicken is tender.

food poisoning and Diarrhea after eating their octopus, boneless chicken feet and potato.
Wowza! This place is flavorful and definitely not for the faint at heart. I say that because not everyone eats chicken feet, tendons, or pickled seafood. I must say my favorite item from this restaurant is their marinated Japanese spicy scallops. (A++). It's amazing over rice and furikake. The other items I ordered: Onion Oil Flavor half chicken- Moist, tender, and bursting with sauce (A+) Chicken Paw with pickled pepper- Deboned for you and ready to bite into all the gelatinous goodness (A+) Honey Comb Tripe (A) - tender and tasty unlike some dim sum places that make it hard Dried bean curd (A) - this is amazing in congee and the curds are pre marinated so the flavors really seep in. Black fungus mushrooms (A) - also great over rice or congee. Full bodied flavors and the mushrooms even have a crunch to them. I'm all about textures and these are fun to eat! Potato Slices (A) - I've never had potatoes done this way but they look like Ruffles but are savory. This needs to be eaten fresh when you get them or they become flat the next day. Try it! It's differently a different take on potatoes! I've not eaten here in person only takeout thru Uber. They always get my order correct and they use recyclable boxes.

This is definitely my NO. 1 spicy seafood of the Chinese "Lao Zhi" The owner is from Qingdao city, Shandong (Province) China. It's a city near the sea where they are abundant in seafood. It used to be colonized by German and Russia so most of the cuisine is diverse and of etiquette flavor. Their dishes are basically the mix of Szechuan and Shandong cuisines. I highly recommend to try the series of "Spicy Seafood" every item is worth trying! This time, I ordered their signature "chili pepper chicken" and again, I was totally impressed about the sauce. Interior seating - The items here are more like appetizers or combination. It's more appropriate to order take-outs and enjoy them at home. Clean and simple decoration indoors. The owner and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They know what they are doing!

Tried their spicy chicken and spicy scallops and it's very quick n tasty. The spicy scallops is a really good deal..About $20 with cash...its served cold in a glass jar so gp home and fry it a bit is best.
