At TAO Asian Bistro, the exquisite flavors of the cuisine are unfortunately overshadowed by the overwhelming volume of the music. Despite the exceptional food and attentive service, the relentless noise level severely hampers any chance for meaningful conversation. While TAO might suffice for those willing to prioritize booming music over dialogue, it falls short for those craving both delicious fare and enjoyable interaction. The excessive noise significantly detracts from the overall dining experience.Lowering the volume would grant patrons the opportunity to fully enjoy both the cuisine and the company of their companions without the necessity of shouting across the table to be barely heard.

Loved the atmosphere and the staff… my friend and i wanted to check it out and we had gotten the martini flight as well as their shrimp lettuce cups and everything was amazingDietary restrictions: gluten free options weren’t great … but they do have gluten free options listed very clearly on the menu :)

TAO has to be the best nightclub in Chicago. Every time I go, the DJs, performance, atmosphere, and overall entertainment is 10/10! Along with that, the drinks were made so well by my favorite bartender, Michael Thomas Ward. He is always so positive, patient, and has the best drink recommendations!

On Sunday, April 21, I went with my family at 7 pm, and the hostess was too rude, she treated us badly, and when we asked her if she could change our table, she said no, that she was not there to change us, leaving empty tables. . And his gestures were unpleasant. They should have nice people.

I came here for my dinner birthday last month and had a phenomenal experience. The booking process for my medium size party was throughout, quick, and easy. The private table was right where I wanted it, off side of the Buddha with fish swimming beneath it, made for a great screen. The service was notch and smooth. Of course the food was A1. To top it all off, DJ Madrid definitely came out with the music vibes which made my birthday dinner a 10/10. With great music and food you can’t go wrong! Thank you Tao! I will be back soon.

Tao is a must while you’re in Chicago. We were in town for a long weekend and decided to stop in for dinner. We had the best meal and service - we’ve talked about it all weekend. Bernice was our server and provided the ultimate experience. She is kind, thoughtful, attentive and extremely knowledgeable and truly a gem of human.The whole staff was amazing! We will definitely be back on our next visit. Thank you, Tao Chicago!

Was a big mistake to choose this restaurant to have a dinner with my wifeI made a reservation right on the front desk a night before! When I arrive to have my dinner I was informed that the restaurant was closed to a private partyThis situation could not happen if the restaurant is controlled by serious persornsI not recomend any people to go in this restaurant

This place is a whole vibe in itself, and the food was amazing with so many items to choose from. The presentation and taste of the snapper were incredible
