Started this review on the bench outside of DAO. The street outside was empty because all 16 stranded patrons inside the "restaurant" had front row seats to the Incompetence Parade. Worst service in recent and distant memory. Not blaming the waitress, her incompetence was driven by a lack of training. The management needs to step up and show up before the owner goes broke. Did not see a manager in the 2 hours it took to get our order. Dining tables were more than half empty. Your to go business is train wrecking your dining experience. Save the overhead of in restaurant dining, it is clearly not

Our table had a good mix of sushi and specialty entrees. They were all good. Even though they were very busy it didn't take long to get appetizers and main course.

My husband and I ate here last night. Typically, we have a decent experience with no complaints whatsoever. I also usually never leave reviews, but this had to be said. When we arrived, we get seated at the very front of the restaurant where the seating is not ideal. There were PLENTY of open tables towards the back and all around the restaurant. Where we were seated, you can feel the wind when the door opens and closes each time someone comes in. We arrived around 6 and it was around the high 50's. We had one other couple get seated next to us and interestingly enough, we noticed the minority

Always delicious, always fresh, and the atmosphere is perfect for gathering with friends or a nice date night out.

This place was really nice inside and the food was decent. I was disappointed that one of my sushi rolls, (especially given the price) was mostly rice with the tiniest of flakes of fish. The rest of the sushi was ok…just ok. The servers were nice and they go overboard with the kids meal (a LOT of food).

Food was wonderful as always. I got the honey chicken and fried rice. It never disappoints. Portions are large as well. Only had 1 stalk of broccoli, but I didn't complain because I do not really like it.

Went here with a group of 8 so we got to have the semi-private back table, which I appreciated. Firstly, the large sized beer was a reasonable price at 7 dollars so that was a good start. A couple of my friends got Old Fashioneds and we've definitely never seen them come out a red/pink color! They were not into the flavor either. My other friends' cocktails were fine though.
I myself got steamed dumplings, which were excellent if not just a bit overpriced. My husband got the szechuan beef and while he said it tasted good, remembers having this somewhere a couple years ago and it was slightly less

Ate here on Saturday for lunch. Service was super friendly & welcoming. I tried dumplings for the first time & they were 🤤!
As for the bento box- the Mongolian beef was kinda disappointing. The beef itself was kind of mushy & was 90% scallions 10% beef. It was also spicy, which I wasn’t anticipating.
Sushi rolls were great! My husband loves the lobster roll- this is the 4th time he orders it. I ordered a “customized” roll of tempura shrimp w/avocado & spicy mayo drizzle.
Overall will return because service was great, but will probably stick to ordering just sushi & shareable plates

Absolutely ridiculous that they will not seat you if you are not willing to wear a mask to your table o and if you were willing to do so they don't even have a disposable one to give you! Like wearing a mask to the table to take off makes any sense Sure hope COMMON sense returns soon!

Excellent upscale restaurant. Veggie sushi roll was great and kick of mango sauce. Lots of options for vegetarian dishes. Loved yellow coconut curry and mix vegetables with tofu. Customer service was excellent also. Overall we had enjoyed our dinner with Friends.

Staff at DAO did an outstanding job getting our take out order ready today. We have some gluten issues, and they made sure everything was perfect, including putting in gluten-free soy sauce without being asked! DAO has always been great, and if you haven’t tried them yet, give yourself a treat! Many Thanks to all the DAO staff👍👍💯
