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.

    The service and food was amazing. But the three kids yelling and jumping all over the place next to us was no good at all. Was hard to enjoy with that going on. Maybe keep crazy kids at home.

    I'm going to preface this by saying I never right bad reviews!! I've been here before and that experience was a lot better than my recent one. We had a reservation for 9:00 and when we checked it, I was told that it would be a few minutes before we would get our table. 20 minutes late, I inquired about the wait time and was told it would be a few more minutes. We didn't get our table until 9:45pm. If they had communicated from the get go that they were running behind then I would've understood that and we would've just gone to the bar and waited. There was no apology and nothing was done to compensate for the wait time. The music being played by the DJ was loud and all over the place. Our server was great and the food was good as usual, but it was a disappointing experience

    A waiter dropped a fork on my head (dirty fork) isn’t the place where I thought this would happen. Also waitress told me lobster roll had raw tuna on top and it didn’t. Been here before and the service and quality of food def went down.

    Celebrating a birthday at The TAO was an epic experience. We didn’t need to hit a club to enjoy great hip-hop music, and we could still hear each other talk comfortably. The appetizers were so satisfying they could have been a meal on their own, making the main course feel like a plus. It’s definitely a fantastic spot for a date ⚡️

    Waited over 20 minutes to be seated for our reservation. Couldn’t get a drink at the bar while we were waiting because the one bartender was nowhere to be found. Once we were seated our server was respondent and the food was pretty good. Would not go back
