LOON TAO SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

that have altered the course of history. But of all Chinas contributions to modern
civilization, the most popular is Chinese food, enjoyed in restaurants and homes in
every nook and corner of the globe. The reason for this enduring worldwide
popularity of Chinese food begins with the cornucopia of unique ingredients, plus
subtle or emphatic sauces and seasoning that are partnered. Transforming this
variety of ingredients into memorable works of culinary art is just what our team of
Chinese Chefs at Loon Tao, lead by Master Chef Zhou is best at.
