Shaped like nigiri, the tuna on top of the rice was actually chopped tuna mixed with Asian flavors (maybe some spicy mayo). We started with this creative version of sushi called Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice. The Small Plates section includes all different types of appetizers, such as lobster wontons, Thai crab cakes, a TAO temple salad, and much, much more. I found it light and refreshing (tasted healthy!), but lacking much flavor. We started with a Soy Paper Roll ($16) filled with crunchy quinoa, shrimp, tuna, and salmon. There are also many creative maki rolls with all sorts of fun, crowd-pleasing ingredients, like the TAO Angry Dragon Roll with eel and kabayaki sauce or the Spring Mountain Roll with spicy king crab and lobster, spicy tuna, and avocado. The restaurant has a full sushi bar, thus the menu includes a wide variety of sushi and sashimi. The menu is massive and covers all types of food. So I was curious to see what the food was like. ![]() However, the quality of food on the Strip is quite high, and of all places, I could imagine the Venetian having the resources to hire talented chefs to pull of food from many different geographical regions.

A stainless-steel trough lined with decorative stone complete with granite finishes provide a touch of elegance. Patron attention is quickly drawn to the center of the dining room where a Quan Yin Statue stands on an 8’ x 8’ podium, surrounded by an elegantly lit coy pond. Stainless steel troughs double as retention pools to help recirculate water. The water then cascades down matching wall panels on both sides. Free falling water descends onto red colored glass inlayed with metal wire. The mood and tone are set as guests enter the main dining room under a dazzling water wall portal. Having previously worked with both Rockwell Design and JCJ Architecture on past casino projects, COST was eager to collaborate with this team again on this iconic restaurant brand. The water feature scope included the final shop drawings, engineering, fabrication and construction of the features, as well as the mechanical and filtration systems. *Īfter two successful launches: Casino of the Wind (2008) and Birches Bar & Grill (2007), the owner engaged COST to deliver the architect’s design intent. The Bistro focuses on Chinese, Japanese, and Thai techniques and ingredients.

During the Summer of 2020, the Mohegan Sun contacted COST to develop unique water features for their latest dining concept, TAO Asian Bistro and Lounge.
