" I was really looking forward to trying TAMA after hearing so many positive reviews, but I was left a bit underwhelmed. While some dishes were good, like the beef skewers, others fell flat. The service was attentive, but the pacing felt off. The ambiance is nice, but I expected more from the food given the hype. Perhaps my expectations were too high? " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to TAMA was a pleasant one! The servers are very attentive, and the food bursts with flavor. The ambiance is family-friendly, which I appreciate, as I had my children with me. A highlight for us was definitely the grilled octopus! The portion sizes were reasonable, could have been a tad bigger, but overall a great time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a pleasant evening at TAMA! The ambiance struck a wonderful balance between cozy and upscale. I was a bit skeptical about their take on Avgolemono as ramen, but it blew my mind with its flavor. Excellent cocktails too! Service was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" TAMA is an impressive addition to the Chicago dining scene! The menu is diverse and reflects authentic Greek flavors with a modern twist. I particularly enjoyed the dessert, which was decadently rich. The attentive service and inviting atmosphere make it a perfect spot for special occasions. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere! I had the fried potatoes and short rib orzo, and they were perfectly cooked and flavorful. It's clear that the chef puts a lot of love into her dishes. Great cocktails to match too! The team was so warm and inviting. I can't recommend TAMA enough—it's a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited TAMA as a family and were blown away by the food and service. Everything from the beef skewers to the seafood dishes was well-executed. The waitstaff was super attentive and made us feel very welcomed. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between casual and elegant. This will certainly be our new regular spot for dining out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at TAMA. The chic decor caught my eye as soon as I entered. The open kitchen was fun to watch! The Avgolemono ramen was a standout—truly exquisite. However, some dishes like the dessert felt overpriced for the portion size. Overall, a fantastic experience I’d recommend. " (*Curated Review*)
