About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Good for groups

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.

Just WOW!! The atmosphere is breathtaking, food and cocktails are AMAZING, the service is incomparable, and the overall vibe feels exclusive and luxurious. From the minute you walk in, you get absorbed in the ambiance of Asia with contemporary and great background music playing. The filet mignon with shishito peppers is a MUST!! The steak and vegetables were all tender and flavorful. The chicken gyoza and lobster wontons were soooo good. If forced to choose between the two, go with the chicken gyoza (pan fried)---still thinking about those flavors. The cocktails were beautifully presented and tasted great. Thank me later for recommending you order the LOTUS COLADA...Coconut Cream, Pineapple, Lime, Orgeat, Coconut Water. Delicious!!! Zero proof but still AMAZING. The plating and presentation of all food was top tier. Oh and this is not typical restaurant food. It is clear they use high quality ingredients and take great care in executing and delivering high quality food and drinks. Ohh and don't forget dessert. The GIANT FORTUNE COOKIE is one of the best desserts ever. The cookie is light and crispy filled with yummy vanilla and chocolate mousse and the best assortment of sweet and delicate fruit. It is a very high energy restaurant with spectacular decor. The wait staff were professional and charming. The location is excellent at the corner of Dearborn & Ontario. Within walking distance from The Godfrey Hotel or The Felix. As Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "I'll be back!" My BFF from Atlanta joined me and she can't stop talking about it. Looks like we may be going back today. And i am OK with it. It's THAT GOOD!!

A must visit if you’re in Chicago. Food was excellent, decor/vibe was super cool, and music was bumping. Service was a little slow because it was so busy, but everyone was very friendly. Ryan B was great!

They placed a six person group at an equivalent of a four person round table. Getting into a battle right as dinner experience is beginning is a horrible way to start a birthday celebration. While the food was tasty, they ran out of a dish at 7pm and came back asking if we would like a comparable dish. We agreed but the comparable dish was 2.5 times the cost of the original. Shame on us for not asking. Lastly, when we asked to see a menu to pick a Japanese Whiskey, they didn’t have one. The recommended glass turned out to be $75 per glass. Again, shame on us for not asking. I feel this $1000 plus meal should have been 30-40% cheaper. Be on guard. Shady tactics.
