Nestled beneath the hotel, TAO Downtown is a multi-level restaurant serving Pan-Asian cuisine, featuring a 300-seat dining room, several bars, and a lounge. The subterranean restaurant is intended to look and feel as if it has been there for decades and only unearthed recently to reveal the artifacts within. Guests descend into a multi-level space where the Quan Yin Buddha, replete with 24 hands, sits atop a koi pond, acting as the anchor of the main dining room.
