Reviews for Tanta Chicago in Chicago, IL
We had never had Peruvian food. Amazed with the flavors, dishes, and new ingredients - even the cocktails and beers. Took our... kids and they absolutely enjoyed. This restaurant has traditional Peruvian as well as some Japanese (nekkei) and thus a fewitems that are a fusion of Peruvian and Japanese so if your party is undecided on culinary type this is a great option. Servicewas amazing too and they spent time answering our questions. Absolutely would go back!!!! Read more

Every single morsel of food here was mouth watering. From the pork, to the beef, to the chicken - even the RICE - it was all... worth every penny. The wait staff didn't let our drinks go empty or fail to deliver in any way. Truly a superb diningexperience. Read more
So this is going to be one of those reviews that throws things a little off, in that case look back at my history and evaluate... my tastes. In general the ambulance was good and the service was excellent. This review is purely based on the food and itstaste. I must say that drinks are great and the presentation is pretty nice. I got the scallops for starters and thought ittasted "too fishy"? If that makes sense. It was ~30$ for two, and we couldn't finish it because of the taste. Our entrees werenot presented amazingly, but they both had a weird bitter aftertaste that ruined the flavors. Perhaps we're just not that intoPeruvian food, but we're pretty adventurous and this just wasn't it for us. Sorry. ???????? Read more
The service and the ambiance is good however the quality of foods have gone down since pandemic… the new sushi nikkei menu is... not that great! Sushi rice is mushy… flavor is not balanced…the main dish squid ink stir fry is too salty… drinks areaverage…the only thing good we had was the yucca fries… overall it is alright…compared to 3 years ago, you would wonderwhat happened to this restaurant! Such an empty scenery on a Friday night! Hire a better chef please! Read more
Food is really good, nice service. We tried the chicken skewers and the scallops in small plates. And the grilled... Salmon. Cocktails are so good, ask for some Peruvian recommendations. Read more
I had a lovely time at Tanta for a work dinner! The food was delicious and so were the drinks and dessert. The staff was also... incredibly nice and helped us make decisions on what was best. I'd recommend the scallops, octopus, and the pork fried rice.Some dishes were cold when we expected warm so maybe ask if you're unsure (not a problem, just a surprise). Definitely priceybut I'd say worth it! The pork fried rice also heated up incredibly well the next day even with the egg and shrimp in it. Therestrooms were down a long flight of stairs and I'm not sure if there is an elevator to make them more accessible. Read more
Visit Recommended It's my first attempt at Peruvian food and I had no disappointment. Flavours were jumping everywhere in... mouth. I had uncooked fish for the first time and I didn't die. Lol. All the offerings were unique with generous portions. Themeals are a bit pricey but won't put a hole in your purse, sure you can treat yourself once in a while. I definitely will beback here on my next trip. Can't wait. :) Read more
