Tana is a new favorite. We went in July soon after it opened, and were blown away by the food, the hospitality and the overall atmosphere. The food is so special and thoughtful but it is also accessible and inviting. We loved everything we tried. We over ordered and took some delicious leftovers home. The second visit was last night and we sat at the bar for a late night bite after a concert. We had a two dishes we tried before, the cucumbers and the fried rice and new dish, shrimp wontons in a savory broth. The fried rice is so well seasoned and has so many delicious ingredients. Yummy bites and vegetable, pork and shrimp. The Ube Cheesecake is other- worldly. Still have more dishes to try. Can't wait to go back. read more

I loved this place! My friend and I got a 9:15pm reservation because it was booked up all day. We went on a Friday night. We ordered a plethora of things and shared each dish. We had the fried rice, dumplings, branzino, cabbage, and bread pudding (ranked in my order of what tasted the best). All items were a 10/10, except that cabbage (7/10) because it needed some salt, and the bread pudding (5/10) because it tasted bitter to me. However this was my ranking. The friend I went with loved the bread pudding! My brother and the server say I will have to try the Ube Cheesecake next time because it's the best dessert! The vibe was nice. They played some good music. The kitchen energy had me thinking I was at a super fancy restaurant and on an episode of The Bear, minus the chaos. But to stay on that note, if someone asks if I'll be back, the answer will be, "Yes Chef!" read more

Had a great experience at Tana. I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of chatting with the chef's wife, who was the hostess. The service was excellent and attentive, but the food was definitely the highlight. The atmosphere was nice but I recommend making reservations, just in case. Everything I tried was delicious, and I'm already looking forward to going back to try more of the menu. read more

I was in KY for a business trip and was impressed to find a nice modern twist on Taiwanese American food. I had to try it! The interior was very beautiful - from the bar, open kitchen concept, picture frames, to the furniture, everything was well put together. I drank the Chuhai cocktail and I liked how light yet refreshing the drink was. I ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle and was surprised by the in depth flavor. Though, I wish it was slightly less saltier. The portion size was fairly huge. For dessert, I ordered the egg tart brûlée and absolutely loved the concept. It was an interesting twist on a regular egg tart with a nice, flaky crunch. The server was also very attentive and kind - would love to come back if I'm in the area! read more

My Husband and I visited on a Saturday night a few weeks after opening and were surprised we were able to snag two seats at the bar since the restaurant was essentially full. We sat down and were greeted immediately. After looking over the menu for a while the bartender went over both the cocktail and regular menu and made some wonderful recommendations. I tried the Chuhai which is composed of Iichiko Shochu (which is a leading brand of mugi (barley) shochu from Japan), Prickly Pear, Lemon, Soda and Melon. This drink was so light and refreshing and delicious! It was really hard to make a decision on what to order for dinner, because everything sounded amazing and the food is served family style so the portions are huge. We started with the Taiwanese Pork & Cabbage Dumplings which were phenomenal. My only complaint is that the description does not mention cilantro, only scallions. It was covered in cilantro which I hate. We ordered the Ginger Scallion Branzino which serves 2, it is open faced with the skin and tail still attached for those of you (like me) are weird about that lol and the Three Treasures Fried Rice. The Branzino consisted of charred lime, Fragrant Scallion and Ginger sauce, and HeyDoh Silky Soy Sauce. The fish was tender, flakey and extremely flavorful and we devoured the whole thing. The Three Treasures Fried Rice consisted of Beef shank, Red Shrimp, Cha Shao Pork, Snap Peas, Carrots, Allium. The rice had that appetizing smokiness and pleasant char from the Wok and was indescribably good!! Next time we will be trying the Cucumbers and the T.F.C "Taiwanese Fried Chicken" which serves 2-3. read more

New to Tana and it didn't disappoint. It was hard to find a reservation, but it was worth waiting. The service was very engaging from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. All smiling, ready and willing to share recommended dishes, knowledgeable about seasonality and ingredients. The food was wonderful and we sampled a lot. The dishes are meant to be shared. We tried the ramp and pork dumplings, the latter was definitely a table favorite. Everyone recommended the tuna tartare with scallion pancakes. The pancakes were a little tough but the tuna was fresh and tasty. The marinated cucumbers were a good pallet cleanser between bites. In terms of entrees I definitely preferred the fried chicken - The TFC. It's super crispy and the seasoned with a little bit of spice and savory that's subtle. The beef noodle lumache was also delicious, and seemed like a really rich Italian dish. I wouldn't recommend the cabbage, unless you love cabbage. Maybe go with the pork ribeye, which was another table favorite and cooked perfectly - not tough or overdone which is always tricky with pork. Lastly, the fried rice was OK, but not that memorable. The atmosphere is pretty modern and chic. It's not bustling but actually quite spacious. The layout is open but noise levels are modest. The dining area was full but given the layout and size of the room, it never felt crowded. read more

Yum! So happy to have this delicious new restaurant in Germantown. The griddled vegetable bao and Ube cheesecake were highlights. Wish there were a pescatarian version of the clams with a different broth option. My husband LOVED the filet with black bean sauce (and the fact he had enough for lunch the next day). Beautiful space and friendly staff. Excited to stop back by to sit at the bar for more dumplings and a cocktail. read more

We absolutely loved our experience at TANA. Our waitress Saba was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us the best recommendations. For drinks we tried the Taipei Old Fashioned, oolong state of mind, #7, and night marker and loved them all! We started with the Ramp dumplings then for entrees we had the fried chicken, branzino, pork ribeye, and fried rice. All of the food was amazing but the chicken definitely stole the show. They did such an amazing job remodeling the building into such a cool and relaxing environment. Highly recommend checking out TANA when you get the chance. read more

Tonight I had an amazing meal at the beautiful restaurant in Louisville, called TANA. It began with the lovely hostess, Courtney, meeting us, then we met our wonderful server, David.

Taiwanese Pork & Cabbage Dumplings 3. Taiwanese Beef Noodle Lumache 4. Rice The dessert was absolutely incredible, as was the meal. Do not leave the place if you do not try it, it is called, Egg Tarte Brûlée read more

I had the Ace Guava Craft Cider and it was great. I also had the Taiwanese pork dumplings as my meal which was very filling. I didn't care for the cilantro but didn't realize it was a garnish on the dumplings. I didn't realize Tana is a more fancy restaurant but definitely welcoming to everyone in my group and accommodated us at the bar. The server was amazing and she answered all our questions. All in all a nice experience. read more

Went here for a date night and we had a great time!Everything that my boyfriend and I ordered tasted amazing it was hard to choose a favorite. For food, we ordered the Taiwanese pork & cabbage dumplings, charred rump dumplings, Taiwanese beef noodle lumache, filet in black bean sauce, three treasures fried rice, and the egg tart brulee. Then for drinks I ordered the chuhai and my boyfriend ordered the Taipei old fashioned and a glass of red wine. The portion sizes of the dishes are great for sharing and we had a good amount left for leftovers. Our server Cameron was very nice, came to check on us often, and was helpful with suggestions while ordering. I would definitely come back again and try something I haven't ordered. This place is great for date night or night out with friends. read more

I can't stop raving about this place. From the moment we entered until the moment we left, we had an incredible experience. The staff are kind, attentive, and helpful. The ambiance is beautiful. The drinks were delicious. All of the food, incredible. While it may be a little pricey, the portions are large and we left with leftovers for several meals throughout the week. I can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely phenomenal new restaurant. A great idea executed super well and I'm already looking forward to the next visit. We had a reservation for 7pm and as soon as we walked in on time were immediately greeted and shown to our table. From the care in explaining the menu and message to quickly responding to all requests the service was too notch. Light music and casual background was lovely and makes me want a late-night dj and small plate night. The food was exceptional. The scallion pancakes with tartare, pork dumplings, Lu Rou Fan, and Ube cheesecake all standouts. Cocktails lovely, but did not explode fully. read more

The vibe at TANA is beyond! I visited recently for a girls night. The cocktails were all amazing - the old fashioned, #7 (similar to a pineapple marg) and Night Market (similar to an espresso martini) were our faves! The food is large portions so we ordered several things to share family style. Highly recommend the pork dumplings (a bit spicy fyi), TFC fried chicken and the fried rice which has several different meats in it. For dessert we shared the Ube Cheesecake which was almost too beautiful to eat! Our server Cameron was the best. He explained the menu in intricate detail and made wonderful recommendations. So sweet and took great care of us! read more

Simply amazing. Got a 5pm reservation and got seated quickly. Drinks were very good and food was just fantastic. Easily best Asian food in Louisville. Got the cucumbers and pork dumplings for apps. Both were 10 out of 10. Dumplings were better tha Din Tai Fung in California who are renowned for dumplings. Got the Lumache entree and the Fried rice to go with it and both had rich, deep flavors and were amazing. All the meats in the rice and the Beef in the Lumache were perfectly cooked. To finish the meal, the five spice bread pudding and earl grey tea were simply the best. It's very rare to go to a restaurant and have EVERYTHING be great but Tana did it. Our first time coming and we spoke to Courtney the chefs wife and she and everyone at the restaurant were friendly and welcoming. They've got a massive bar which was full at 6:00 when we left. Our best meal in Louisville in 2026. Phenomenal read more

My wife and I went the week they opened and were blown away by this restaurant. The ambiance retains a chill but high class mood. The service was impeccable. We were greeted immediately, recommendations were excellent, and the service felt like they wanted you to be apart of the restaurant. We tried a variety of items: the melon highballs for a drink, the pork dumplings, the treasure fried rice, the vegetable bao, and the ube cheesecake. All of which were fantastic. This has easily jumped to my personal top 3 in the city. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

What a wonderful addition to the Louisville food scene. Everything was wonderful and truly unique. The food was excellent, above par by any Louisville standards. We enjoyed the dumplings, the flavors were impressive, each tiny detail was on point. Their take on ma po tofu was totally different and delicious. It is a dish I will always order. The fried chicken is yum, so crispy. Our server was excellent; she was full of smiles and recommendations. She made the evening more enjoyable. The restaurant In itself looks incredible inside. The bar area is large with plenty of seating. The overall restaurant looks modern, comfortable and is pleasing to the eye. Will have to be back soon; cannot wait to try more dishes. read more

First service: We went Thursday of opening week, and it went so smoothly compared to some other resturaunt openings. Our server was attentative and the runners polite. Our party of 6 never had an empty moment where we were looking for anything. Our waitress (sorry I dont remember your name but youre from Etown i think) was fantastic and Courtney the co-owner gave such fabulous recommendations, which we ended up not needing because we ordered EVERYTHING on the menu. Courtney visited our table multiple times asking our favorites and it was so fun meeting her! Food: Mouth watering. Our favorites were the fried chicken (brined overnight!), branzino, marinated cucumbers, clams with the broth, and the ube cheesecake. Ambiance: The drinks, table, and the vibes were great! The chilled red wine brought high vibes. The music was a little odd but it wasn't too loud. We truly cannot wait to try each seasonal menu! Congrats! read more

This is a beautiful space first of all. Clean and airy lines. Minimal fluff and frill. The staff were wonderful. They greeted us and helped steer us through the menu. While the menu is not large but it is intriguing and complex, filled with interesting fusion bits. The server indicated that we needed to put our entire order in at one time so that the kitchen could "pace" it. I am not a big fan of this in a restaurant without a tasting menu as one dish may inspire me to try something different than I was originally thinking. None the less, I began with arguably the best martini I have had in a bar. Roku Gin, a solid choice and paired with Dolin dry. Excellent combo. It was so well balanced, a little dirty. My only knock is that it was advertised as coming with a Castelvetrano olive but I am faily certain it was the brinier more bitter Manzanilla. Regardless, it was fabulous. We began with the charred ramp dumplings. These were amazing. Delicate, wrapped a bit like a tortellini with thicker dough. The flavor of the ramps was gorgeous and distinct. The shrimp filling was delicate and the whole dish just worked. Then we had the Mapo Tofu. This was perhaps the star. Really intriguing mix of unctuous flavors, some chili, some cilantro. Incredible texture. We added to this the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Lumache. This had hints of umami from the soy and the beef was ingredible tender. We added the Caramelized Cabbage. This was very interesting. Perhaps steamed or boiled before being seared. It had a great texture and the crunchy topping was wonderful contrast. I am already plotting my next order. read more
