    Given the quality of food DaiLo would have every right to act snooty or stuffy but isn't. In fact couldn't be further from a pompous dining experience. Which made it all the more enjoyable. Staff were friendly and attentive (Ben in Particular) without being in-your-face. THE DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST-TRY!

    Spectacular dishes on tasting menu, all beautifully presented and full of deep flavours and zingy moments. Could not always hear the descriptions, but they were delivered with expertise and love. Great service and very nice allowance made for late arrival of some of the party even though it was a very busy evening.

    Food was overall lacking compared to my previous visit. Especially one of the dishes was cold and dry.

    The service, the food, the chefs, and staffs made the experience so worth while. We truly felt special and treated well. I watched them do the same gestures to each guests, so that’s how you know it’s their standard. Their washrooms were clean, the utensils were polished. They really put the effort to make sure everything is perfect. My family would definitely come back. Thank you for such an experience!!

    My girlfriend dumped me last week, you guys wouldn’t let me cancel without rescheduling or being fined $40. My mother had a great meal last time despite it being a mandatory seating.
