Tangö Contemporary Cafe

Risotto has been one of my favorite dishes here for a while now. I tried the beef stroganoff this time, did not disappoint. I thought to myself how tender the wagyu beef was and it has a nice red cooking wine flavor that is nice and savory. The waiter was very accommodating. The restaurant has a warm feel. You’ll want to park inside the parking garage that it’s attached to and they will validate your parking.

I rarely post reviews however this gem was so exceptional it’s worth letting others know

As a coffee enthusiast I can honestly say theirs is top 3 I’ve ever experienced, if not the best. I know a lot of folks on reviews say: “best they ever had” but this time it is legit.

Their German Coffee/Espresso machine costs over $20,000 alone, that combined with local fresh beans results in a truly transcending experience

Food is great, nice healthy orange egg yolks, tender beef seasoned the correct amount.

Cute little cafe. They provide a great brunch menu. Our table ordered several different items and everything was delicious. The service was okay, not sure if they were short staffed or if it was a busy day. I felt like they needed help with organizing (seating, bringing out orders, checking to see if everything was brought out to the table, etc.) The so called “starts” were brought out after all of the meals. Wait staff didn’t even glance at table (so busy), so that we could ask for additional items.

I'm giving a 5 for something other than the food...COFFEE. I never imagined I'd have a hard time finding a cup of coffee on Oahu. Thank goodness for this lifesaving cup of elixir. This picture is coffee, not cappuccino. I saw the cappuccino co.e out and that looked heavenly too. I drove 20 mins out of my way for this cup this morning after throwing another away at the farmers market. Did I mention the breeze and outdoor seating? So grateful!

Quite frankly one of the top 3 places I’ve eaten in my life. Food was delicious and presentation was extremely professional. I don’t usually leave reviews but was so blown away with my meal that I had to. I had the Asian 5 spice braised beef I believe, and recommend to anyone.

They excel at everything. They make the best burger I have ever had in my life and make it with precision every time I get it. I don't think they make an item that I don't love. Friends all agree. It's where we go for celebrations. I love their coffee.

One of my top places for brunch on Oahu. We got Crab Benedict’s and pancakes. Food was exceptional, amazing service and very friendly and knowledgeable personnel. Would definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

The world food travelers stopped in at Tango Contemporary Café as yours truly hadn’t been there for dinner, just lunch. We were seated at a tiny table but luckily for us there was a cancellation so we were moved to a table for four. It was fortuitous because we ordered two appetizers and salad; there was no way the dishes would have fit on the original table.

The wine book had a QR code for additional wines but it turned out to be misleading as the more current source was the book. We ordered a 2019 Duckhorn Three Palms Vineyard Merlot for $159; very reasonable as the bottle sells for $115 in the store. It was dark red with dark fruit and chocolate.

First up; slices of bread was served with a pesto dipping sauce.

Our appetizers were the Foie Gras and the Sautéed Escargot. The foie gras came on a toasted slice of brioche with a strawberry gastrique. The presentation of the escargot was interesting … They came in a square cast iron pan with a brown sauce with pieces of mushroom and garlic. On the side were three thin slices of toast.

We followed the appetizers with the red and golden beet salad; they served the salad on two plates (thank you!). Instead of cubes, the beets were sliced and served over greens with labneh (strained yogurt) and a raspberry vinaigrette. It was very refreshing.

Our entrées were the Slow Roasted Rack of Lamb and the Duck Confit. The presentation of each was excellent … three ribs of lamb were arranged over pieces of roasted potato with a Yuzu Kosho Demi glace; the duck was served with a pea and artichoke ragout and garlic Broccolini. The lamb was delicious as was the duck. I would have liked some kind of sauce for the duck but I appreciated the crispy skin; unexpected for duck confit.

We ended with two desserts … Kona Coffee Ice cream cake and Affogato di Gelato. The ice cream cake was served as a slice … Layers of coffee and vanilla and Italian Chocolate ice cream atop a layer of chiffon cake. The Affogato was properly presented … A glass of vanilla bean ice cream and a cup of espresso. Visual and taste delights!

The restaurant was very busy but service was fine; Ashley was our server and she was assisted by another (unnamed). We enjoyed the wine and food; all reasonably priced. Recommended!

Had dinner tonight with a party of 13. Everything we had was impeccable, including the service which right is very hard to find. We will definitely be coming here again. Highlights were the French Onion Soup, veggie board, scallop appetizer and entrée, tasting menus and Blueberry bread pudding. Oo and coffee drinks were all delicious!

Had brunch here and enjoyed it. I had the pastry basket I will see in the past the pastries were or appeared to be very soft and today maybe they were just baked a little too long. The atmosphere here is always upbeat and very pleasant. My guest had eggs benedict and enjoyed it very much. Have been going here for many years and plan to continue to do so.

This place is incredible and unique. The food was amazing and very different then anything we have found on the island. The duck I had was cooked beautifully and even their bread and homemade pesto that you get when you sit was great. The atmosphere was quaint but calming and inviting. And the service was perfect. Very attentive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back to see what brunch has to offer!

Lunch time is very crowded. If you are having a group of 4-5 (or higher if our next tier opens) best to make reservations. Food is good for lunch...mostly choices from salads, sandwiches and burgers with some entrees. Cost is at medium range.

Great brunch place in Kakaako area. Pet friendly neighborhood, I was able to bring my dog with me and eat in their outdoor seating. Ordered the risotto which was delicious and the eggs benedict.

First of all, the service is amazing. They remembered us from 2 months prior. Even remembered what we ordered! Friendly staff, great quiet atmosphere without being rushed.

My wife and son loves their risotto. I love the braised lamb (to die for!!!), my kids love the escargot so we have to get 2 orders of that.

Very accommodating for my mother who's in a wheelchair.

This is one of our favorite places to eat.

It is very popular place for breakfast and lunch.
(They are great for dinner too)

Casual but I always feel that the food is prepared with intention to make good so everyone can enjoy eating. Heart is in! .. so to say, in short

I like the grass fed meat burger here. Simple but fresh ingredients.

Friends enjoyed their shrimp risotto and vegetarian sandwich as well.

If you are in the neighborhood I highly recommend trying this place. It’s tucked away but just across the street from the TJ Max/south shore place.

Fantastically delicious, everything is fresh. These French toasts are so delicious. I ate in 1 min. 😁

Great food and service. The Tango Burger was excellent. Even ran into the former owner Tammy who is always so nice and hospitable. This place is highly recommended by yours truly.

I've dined here on several occasions, and left extremely pleased every single time! Awesome food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere -- everything's decently priced as well, which is pretty rare in Hawaii (and especially in this neighborhood). Will definitely come back!!

Fantastic food and service. Just went there w daughters and their friend. Very kind server made sure we had everything we needed. The oriental salad was to die for. I enjoyed the mahi mahi sandwich.

The Loco Moco Benedict and Swedish Pancakes are amazing!
