Stopped here for Mother’d Day lunch. I really liked the decor and the outside seating options. I had the lamb rack and my husband got the Malaysian Satay. They gave me a free glass of wine. The flavors of the food was amazing. I also got a raspberry mojito it was perfectly balanced. Carlos was a wonderful and attentive server. Highly recommend to go here for great quality food.

Found this place by Google and it turned out to be delicious!!!!
It’s a hidden gem of authentic asian food (Korean, Thai, Chinese, etc)!!
My husband ordered the Thai Basil Noodles and I ordered the Sesame Chicken Salad. Both were sooo good and great for our long drive.
I highly recommend this place to everyone who stops through Iowa or who is passing by!!
Service was good and inside had plenty of seats! Parking is plenty as well :0)

I’m very particular about Thai food because I am Thai. I actually got lunch DoorDash and it was amazing! The food was fresh and was still super hot. I had the drunken noodles which was delicious! Portions were large and well priced. Will be ordering again.

The food is was really good, I had the coconut shrimp and yellow curry. It was all really good and that’s why I’m giving 5 stars BUT I think I like other Thai restaurants in the city a little better. I was surprised to get a Thai fortune cookie with the check, I didn’t know they existed.

The food was honestly pretty mid. Like it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t like the best thing ever, in my opinion. It was super busy when I went so the service was kind of lacking. The waiter did not remember anything that we ordered. They didn’t have one of the dishes we order but she didn’t even tell us. Asking for a bowl of rice took like 15 mins for her to get. Some of the food was good though. The lady was very nice, they were just way to busy to fully satisfy customers. This place is also kind of expensive, so I don’t know if it’s really worth it.

I always thought restaurants with huge menus were cumbersome with their food, but that was not the case here! Everything we ordered was perfect! The flavors, the textures, the cook, the portions–perfect! I was really impressed that they represented every Asian country, and even more blown away with the execution! They really are pan-Asian!
I got shrimp in my Khao Soi and there were so many jumbo succulent shrimp! Most places give you 3 meager pieces for the same price. Yeah, you pay a little more here, but it was worth every penny. I really, really loved this place and can’t wait to come back and try something else!

I’ve long enjoyed the Tantra Asian Bistro. They serve great tasting Asian American food in a space that’s a bit more on the fine dining side than many other Asian restaurants or takeout locations around the Quad Cities. I was a bit bummed they were closed for a few weeks near the end of 2022 and start of 2023 – I had a craving in December that went unsatisfied as a result. Well, they were open today, so I was going!
Much of the interior is the same as it’s always been. There’s a prominent bar off to the right of the entrance, a large wine rack in the same area, and a combination of booth and table seating throughout the dining space. A reddish brown ceramic tile lines the floors, while a drop ceiling with a combination of recessed and suspended lighting fixtures is seen overhead. At night, the lighting is dark and cozy, but even during a grey, overcast day like today, it suits just fine.
I opted for cream cheese puffs (what any other Asian restaurant would call Rangoons) and spicy basil fried rice with beef. Both were out to me within 10 minutes of ordering. The cheese puffs were great – crunchy and soft at the same time, with creamy filling. The fried rice was similarly fantastic. It was light and had well softened and sweet vegetables. The beef was similarly well cooked and tender. All in all, the food was as great this trip as before.
I look forward to my next visit to Tantra, and I hope they stay open for many years to come. Thanks, Tantra!
