TAO Chicago offers guests a sensual trip through the cuisines of Asia. The design-driven restaurant and adjoining nightclub is inspired by the original TAO locations in New York City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

TAO Chicago features multiple levels, creating dynamic spaces within the historic building’s shell, while adding TAO’s Asian-influenced DNA to the restaurant, lounge and nightclub including murals by artist Hush and TAO’s signature 16-foot-tall Quan Yin statue anchoring one end of the dining room.

TAO Chicago’s restaurant menu, created by TAO Group Partner and Chef Ralph Scamardella , is complete with Pan-Asian offerings from the sea, sky and land including signature dishes like Satay of Chilean Sea Bass, Crispy Rice Tuna and a Wagyu Rib-Eye.

First of all the African American hostess had a terrible attitude and tone. Just an overall nasty attitude. They gave our table away and then made us wait even longer. The food was bland and needed more salt or seasoning or something. The drinks were good but for the price you pay it’s not worth it at all. youre going for the overall vibe and feel not the food or service. Very very poor experience. Our entire group was very unimpressed

Great experience! We went for our anniversary... we had no idea what was in store. The staff was amazing, drinks were awesome, music was loud but great choices. The tables were very close but we got lucky the people around us were just as fun! Wait staff... AMAZING Thaniya was very helpful, kind and she got us two glasses of prosecco to celebrate! Definitely memorable!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tao restaurant in Chicago and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a stunning and inviting ambience that immediately set the tone for the evening. The service at Tao was nothing short of excellent. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. They made us feel welcomed and valued throughout the entire evening. Now, let's talk about the food. It exceeded all expectations. The menu at Tao offers a diverse selection of delectable dishes, each one crafted with care and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the main courses, every bite was a culinary delight. The presentation of each dish was also remarkable, adding an extra touch of elegance to our meal. Overall, Tao restaurant in Chicago left a lasting impression on me. The combination of its stunning ambience, excellent service, and exceptional food truly made it a dining experience beyond compare. I highly recommend Tao to anyone looking for a memorable and extraordinary culinary adventure.

Great food and excellent service. Our server David was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was delicious. We especially liked the lobster fried rice, sweet and spicy shrimp, and lobster spring rolls. For dessert, you can't go wrong with the banana pudding or bread pudding doughnuts!

I understand its a fancy restaurant but the taste of the food is not up to the mark. We ordered some sushi took them 1 hr to make and pad thai it was way to sweet. Foods are really over priced.

We didn’t know what to expect the first time there, but we were overwhelmed with the ambiance, music, food and the friendly service. Loved everything about it and will definitely be back. The only thing is we wanted to go to the nightclub next door but the line was around the corner. With dropping hundreds of dollars you would think it would be little easier to get in. Needless to say we didn’t wait in line and left. As for the restaurant, we loved it!!!

The food was very good, fresh, tasty and the presentation impeccable. Excellent flavor combination and the aged steak was out of this world :) However, if you want to have a conversation with your dinner partner this is not the place to be. My phone alerted me several times that the nose lever hit 95 decibels and went up to 110 at times….

The service experience was disappointing as our server was frequently absent, resulting in prolonged delays for our drinks and food. It took a full hour before we received our orders. Additionally, the quality of the lo mein was subpar, and it tasted overcooked.

Ambience was very good but didn’t really enjoy the food as much. Veg roll sushi was too dry, similarly veg dumplings were thicker. Also the pad thai was oversweet. Cocktails are good.
