    This is an excellent restaurant. Their tasting menu is the way to go. So many flavours and interesting combinations. (which they will modify depending on any food allergies/preferences) Chef Nick Liu is one of the top chefs in Canada and his reputation is rightly deserved. Expect to spend a few hours of wonderful food, drinks, and service. DaiLo is one of our favorites and it never disappoints.

    I ate there for my birthday and had an umami bomb from flavours of its progressive plating system. The rumors are true, it is definitely the best restaurant in Toronto, I would recommend it to anyone I know!

    This restaurant is one of the most creative and delicious places I have experienced in Toronto. Our dining experience is always excellent. The dishes are authentically Chinese but with very unique Western expressions. If you grew up with Chinese home cooking this place will speak to you for sure. Even if not the food is amazing and worth experiencing!

    Food was fantastic, exotic and complex flavours. Had the Chef's preset course and the pacing was perfect, they accommodated each person's food preferences. Our waiter was so knowledgeable, attentive, and just made the whole meal an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend!! p.s well spaced tables for COVID, everything wiped down between diners.

    The tasting menu is a “must try” - so many unusual flavour combinations that result in a delicious and varied menu. Due to pandemic measures, noise level definitely more pleasant.

    DaiLo is one of the best in Toronto, for good reason. Their food is always an experience, a taste explosion. Always try something new (or the specials which I didn't do on my last visit and hearing afterwards that the chef is the person bringing the mushrooms to the island on which he has a cottage, should have listened to my partner!) because every dish is a treat. Pricing is reasonable for the amount but certainly for the quality. Since recently I've also started deliberately ordering desserts, see how restaurants fare on that part, rather than just an afterthought. DaiLo didn't disappoint me on that front either. Finally, service is stellar. All around jewel.

    This was our second time at Dailo. The food and service are great. We decided to go with the Tasting menu but it was not exactly the same as 1 year ago. We found that the plates were smaller; unfortunately we had to add to as we were not full.

    This was a perfect birthday dinner from the food to the service. We went for the a la carte, however, on the next visit we will definitely be trying the chef's choice. The food was excellent especially the wonton and the lamb neck rendang. Couldn't fault anything! Additionally, they came out with an extra palette cleanser of sorbet and a birthday cake for my boyfriend as a surprise :)

    Chefs table for 76$ is worth every penny. Deep fried watermelon was unique and delicious. Carpaccio outstanding, the leaf and the dumplings were a world of flavors, refined and well balanced. And we were more than satisfied with the octopus tacos and duck. For dessert we had the "pudding" and that turned out being too much... we should have stopped at the sorbet. Gluttony is a sin...forgive me Dai Lo for I have sinned.

    One of the best meals Ive been served at a restaurant in the last 3 years. I had truffle fried rice, cauliflower curry, wontons, and tofu. I am a full meat eater and my guest was a a vegetarian and it was wonderful to see her have so many options....which I shared and were absolutely delicious. In fact while I loved my starter (wontons) after trying her tofu( house made) I was a bit green with food envy lol! Great server, great ambience - I had fun talking its praises over the last few days and look forward to doing it al again...
