TAO Chicago is more than dinner — it’s an experience. The space is visually striking, the energy is high, and the vibe feels upscale without trying too hard. The food was flavorful and well-presented, especially the sushi and shared plates, and the cocktails were solid. Service was attentive, even with how busy it gets. It’s loud, lively, and perfect for date nights or celebrations when you want great atmosphere with your meal.

I think this place is underrated. I would give it 4.5, 4.6 overall. I walk by this restaurant all the time and always wanted to try, out but they are definitely overpriced, so I waited many years till I eventually went on restaurant week. Three items on restaurant week, Tuna tartar on crispy rice is so so, not to my like, but the steak is great, the desert is super generous portion. But this place is not just food, the decoration is beautiful, the service is very comfortable. Although I would like they play some oriental music during dinner time instead of loud western music. But it is a good experience just being there. I would definitely go back again some other time.

Sunday brunch buffet.
Good experience, took us early for our reservation and great service.
Cool vibe and large selection of food. Enjoyed the nigiri – very fresh and high quality. The shrimp shumai was my favorite out of the dumplings. The bao buns were soft and flavorful. The salmon was excellent.
The dessert station had a nice variety with the standouts the raspberry macarons and the chocolate fountain.
It’s quite expensive, which may keep me from returning – but overall a positive experience for something new to try!

We went for the brunch buffet on a Sunday.
The food selection and quality was phenomenal. However, the cocktails were not great. We got the Buddha’s brew + bubbles & berries and neither of us could drink them more than a couple sips. The interior and music is great. Overall highly recommend this place and would definitely be back.

Food was fantastic and the service was top tier. Music was loud but we didn’t mind it since we were getting ready for the Rave concert that evening. We tried Grilled Branzino, Crispy Coconut Alaskan Halibut and their off menu Dish that was suggested to us by our waitress, short rib fried rice with bone marrow and truffles

TAO is vast and impressive, the kind of space that makes you pause mid-sentence and look up. I hadn’t been inside a TAO in at least 20 years, and never the Chicago location, but Restaurant Week felt like the right excuse to revisit my past and see how it aged. (Pretty well, it turns out.)
Start at the bar and arrive early — the lychee martini is very sweet, but at happy hour prices it’s basically irresponsible not to have one (or two) before heading to your table.
We kicked things off with the Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice, which leaned a bit hotter than my personal comfort zone, but was still solid. The Pork Potstickers, however, were the runaway hit — amazing, addictive, and I absolutely could have eaten a dozen without regret.
The Cashew Chicken was surprisingly clever: somewhere between sweet & sour chicken and cashew chicken, but executed at a level that makes you think, “This is like P.F. Chang’s… but in the best possible way.” Comfort food with ambition.
The Wagyu Skirt Steak was plentiful, perfectly cooked, and delicious. I wasn’t a fan of the cilantro lime dip, but thankfully the soy sauce on the table understood the assignment and handled things just fine.
Cocktails continued their subtle mission to disguise alcohol. The TAO-tini was tropical, sweet, and dangerously easy to drink — a recurring theme.
Dessert was indulgent. The Chocolate Buddha was large, rich, and layered with chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. But the surprise winner was the banana pudding, which quietly stole the show.
We also added a crunchy spicy yellowtail roll, which was a great addition and far less spicy than the tuna — a welcome plot twist.
Overall, TAO delivered exactly what you want from it: scale, fun, solid food, and drinks that sneak up on you. I’m already looking forward to coming back with a group to try more dishes — assuming it doesn’t tip too far into clubby territory next time.

The food is delicious and meets the standard you would expect from a place like TAO
well-seasoned, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented.
The service is attentive, and the overall vibe is energetic yet elegant.
Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for good food and a stylish ambiance in Chicago.

I recommend getting a lot of their appetizers instead of their mains since in my friends and my opinion, the appetizers are better. We all got the Chilean sea bass appetizer which was the best dish of the night. We ordered the chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert which was also a highlight! The noise level is really loud on the restaurant floor so we had to really raise our voice to talk to one another.

Beautiful place, great food — but poor welcome at the front.
The food was amazing, and the ambiance was absolutely stunning. However, the hostess was extremely rude. I arrived alone just hoping to enjoy dinner, and she told me there was nothing available—without even offering me a seat at the bar. I had to walk over myself and kindly ask the bartender if I could dine there. Thankfully, the bartender was exceptional and completely turned the experience around.
I’m not giving a lower rating only because of the food and the wonderful service I received from the bartender.
