Recenzje
TAO is my absolute favorite restaurant! Everything on the menu is incredibly flavorful and delicious, you can’t really go wrong with anything. The restaurant itself is beautiful; the decoration and dim lighting create a unique ambiance. The service is also excellent. I would 100% recommend making a reservation in advance as the restaurant is often fully booked. It is worth every penny, I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place, it is incredible!
I absolutely love the ambiance! Just gorgeous. Didn't like the BBQ chicken with was vinegary so I exchanged it for the crispy orange chicken, which wasn't crispy. The Brussels Sprouts weren't charred and very crunchy. I also had to exchange my cocktail. Dinner was over $200 for 2 people. Service was great. He loved his food.
TAO Chicago is a vibe — visually, at least. The food genuinely delivered. The lobster wontons in shiitake ginger broth were a great way to start, and the tempura green beans and tempura avocado were solid appetizers. The shrimp fried rice was the clear winner of the night — good enough that my husband sent back his original dish and ordered the same thing I got. A few things kept it from being a 5-star experience though: our server was managing a lot of tables and the attention showed — drink refills were slower than we would’ve liked. And the noise level made actual conversation at the table pretty tough. Reservation was honored on time, food came out well, but the overall experience was just okay. The kitchen is doing its job. The rest of the experience just needs to match it.
This was my first visit but it won't be my last! The whole experience was amazing and the food was just as great. I didn't capture all of the food I tried but just know you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I hear that a lot bout I can truly say that's true at this restaurant. Food was served on the middle spinning table and we all were able to try everything!! Lastly my sidecar and large fortune cookie 🥠 was also amazing. The fruit served with the cookie was sooo fresh!!
Me and my friend’s came here for dinner to celebrate our birthdays, and overall we had a really good time. The atmosphere was really nice and honestly one of my favorite parts. The inside is beautiful, with so many eye catching details everywhere. The music was really good too and set the vibe. We came for dinner, but you can tell it brings that lounge/club energy as well, which was just what we needed! The service was good, everyone was nice, and our food came out pretty fast. We got sushi and dumplings, and those were amazing! It is definitely expensive, but that was expected. My only complaint was the steak. We got the $110 steak, and even though it tasted okay, I don’t feel like it was worth $110. I was expecting more, so that part was a little disappointing, and I probably wouldn’t order it again. Other than that, everything else was great, and I’d definitely come back! 💜
