Tao's

If you want some authentic food, then you need to go here. Holy smokes their dumplings were awesome; my kiddos absolutely loved them. It’s a small mom-pop shop, so don’t expect fast service, but certainly appreciate the care and quality when they took care of us as customers. And the dessert presentation was a great way to finish the meal. Will definitely stop by again!

Excellent authentic Chinese food. They specialize in delicious Chinese food you'd only find in NYC. Although they do have the common dishes that you see at regular Chinese take out joints, the star of the show are their szechuan dishes. Hard to find kang-kong (water spinach) upstate, which was great that they have it here. Will definitely come back to try everything else in the menu.

Tao's is a hidden gem Chinese restaurant specializing in Szechuan style. Really good for being in a small rural area. The couple running the place are very friendly and provide helpful suggestions. Seems to be just the two of them running the place but service was fairly efficient. The food was good, I especially liked the Szechuan dishes like ma Po tofu and spicy lamb dishes, they have a nice balance of spice with the peppercorns and cumin.

Had take out for the first time here. I chose this place to try the Hot & Sour soup as a reviewer mentioned it was very good. And it was one of the best Hot & Sour soups I've had in Orange county. I like it spicy & flavorful and it didn't disappoint. The freshly fried noodles were a bonus. I'll be back for more.

This is a true hidden gem in middletown, the place advertises as authentic Chinese cuisine, from my experience, the food is great, it’s definitely not your typical take out Chinese place. One thing I can say to improve on is the lack of staff - we entered the place and we had to look for the staff to assist us, they’re all in the back kitchen and front was left unattended.
