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.

    Fantastic food and great service once we were actually seated, but… we weren’t seated till about an hour and fifteen minutes after our reservation time, even though we arrived a few minutes before our reservation. The lounge and bar area upstairs were very crowded and so it was hard to get drinks and be comfortable while waiting. It was so noisy and crowded but in fairness it was a Saturday night. Can’t say enough about the food and service once we finally got seated.

    I hadn’t been to Tao since 2019. It’s turned more into a club vibe and the noise level and choice of music caters more to the nightclub upstairs than actually dining there. It’s also gotten very touristy.

    I booked a table for Valentine's Day where I had to pay $50 per person in advance for the "Valentine's Day Banquet". I also bought a box of chocolates ahead of time as it was labeled as special, for $25. There was no special menu the day of, the server had no idea what the $100 charge was about, but he was very helpful and a great server. Manager ended up taking some of our items off our bill to somewhat make up for it. The box of chocolates that came out was a small box of 4 chocolates, that also happened to be listed on the dessert menu for $19...

    The service was really good, our waitress was very attentive, and food was great. But our table was located next to an inoperative register, next to a brick wall. Next time, I know where to request seating.
