    I got to eat with this chick who looks like Hillary Duff, but better looking! Pepper steak was perhaps the best beef dish I’ve ever had in my life. Contrary to what the internet tells you, the staff does not do anything to help you get access to the club later.

    Food was good, we were seated in the worst place in the Resturant although it was almost empty !! Hostesses were VERY unnice and waitress forgot things we ordered. It was expensive for the food we got. There are better and nicer places in chicago like le colonial and others that have amazing overall experience Consider going

    Tao Chicago is absolutely stunning—the decor alone is worth the visit. The atmosphere is vibrant and immersive, with every detail is thoughtfully designed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with bold flavors in every bite. The giant fortune cookie was a fun and tasty highlight to end the meal. Our server was attentive and prompt. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience and a real treat.

    This was by far the best food my (new) husband and I have ever had! The price is right, and the ambiance is breathtaking. We sat at the bar and and had a drink and the chicken gyoza before our dinner. The bartender was attentive and efficient regardless of how busy he was at the time (~7pm). Our dinner experience was just as great. We had the spicy tuna tartar on crispy rice- SO GOOD! Then the Shanghai fried rice and the wagyu ribeye. These are both a MUST try. You will not be disappointed.

    My experience was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time at Tao and babyyy they took great care of me! I dined solo and was put in the perfect spot. Andrew was my waiter and he was so nice and recommended the best food for me I was so impressed with his candor! Now to the food omg I had the chicken satay and the glazed sea bass and both were well seasoned and scrumptious. I rate everything a 20 out 10! And the Tao-Tini drink is a must have.

    I enjoyed the spicy shrimp, chicken gyoza, and sweet and sour soup. I do wish there had been more duck pieces in the barbecue duck fried rice. The lychee martini wasn’t my favorite was initially too strong and didn’t taste much better after more mixer was added. Overall, the atmosphere was great. Next time, I’d probably stick with a protein dish or sushi instead of the rice.

    Tao Chicago never disappoints! This was my second time visiting and once again, everything was top-tier. Our server was the bomb…super knowledgeable about the specials and made great suggestions that took our experience to the next level. The ambiance, the service, the vibes…10/10. Now let’s talk about the food… I don’t know what kind of magic the chef put in those mushrooms and sea bass, but whew…every bite was pure deliciousness! Already looking forward to my next visit! Shoutout to the Dj on the 1s and 2s, too!!

    The service was terrible. The server spilled my glass of water all over us and the table. Our camera fell on the ground because of this and was drenched in water. We did not get a single apology for this. The server was changed claiming that “her shift was over”. The new server did not bring our mains for another 30 minutes because he didn’t know our order. Overall very slow and poor service.

    We celebrated my friends birthday and had a wonderful time. The food was AMAZING, decor was beautiful. The only complaint is the positioning of the tables were a bit close and difficult to maneuver. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely go again.
