Reviews for DaiLo in Toronto, ON
Celebrated a birthday at Dailo on the 23rd of October. We ordered the tasting menu to get a sense of what this place has to... offer and we’re glad we did. These guys push creativity in a big way so you’re really not having a meal. You’re on anexciting gastronomic adventure. Each course was exceptional, the atmosphere and vibe, cool and relaxed. One day f the firstthings that impressed me about this place. And incredibly warm greeting and welcome. It’s like you’re hanging out in atrusted friend’s living room about to have a great meal. We will definitely go back. Such a great combination of exceptionalfood, service and ambience. Read more
Just incredible. From the second you walk in you know it's going to be excellent. The decor is well thought out, the space is... bright, the ambiance is welcoming. When we sat down we knew we had to do the tasting menu. It's incredibly well priced and soworth it. All other tasting menus we have done to date have been one dish per course. Most of the courses came with multipledishes and each one it's own explosive set of incredible flavours. I did the wine pairing which was so well done. A nice mix ofreds and whites each complimenting the set of dishes in their own way. Lots of unique wines too, instead of a standard barrelaged oaky red it was a field red with a blend of 30+ grape varietals that was then chilled. Such a lovely uniqueexperience. All this to say it is worth the price whether you are just celebrating Toronto cuisine, an anniversary or havefriends who love good food this is the place to go! Read more
Went here a while back, but I still remember the incredible experience, and the delicious tasting menu. So many incredible... dishes and interesting flavour combinations, and every one a hit! The “tacos” were actually the most surprising andinteresting dish, and I would’ve wanted more had I not already had so much more food on the way. Highly recommend, and hope Ihave the chance to visit again one day. Read more
Fantastic experience. Went with 9 others for a birthday. $95 per person for the tasting menu - more amazing food than you can... handle. Excellent value for the quality and quantity you get. Cocktails were delicious too. 10/10 will go back & recommend tofriends Read more
As someone who has grown up eating delicious Asian food I'm often unimpressed with New Asian Cuisine. It always just seemed like... childhood dishes on smaller plates. This was not the case here. DaiLo completely exceeded my expectations and was possibly oneof the best culinary experiences I have ever had. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was impeccable. Was honoured tohave the chef bring out one of my courses himself. He and his team have truly killed it with all of these amazingly creativeflavours–the tom yum custard, betel leaf wrap, and white chocolate sticky rice were a few of my favourites amongst favourites.Also, who knew tom yum and coconut water could taste so good together? As someone who was dining solo, this was an insaneamount of food. It felt like I was at my grandmother's house and she was trying to lovingly stuff me to death, except in thisscenario it's fine dining (not that I'm complaining!). Thank you for being the highlight of my Toronto visit, I would give yousix stars if I could! Read more
Tasting menu is fantastic. Pricey, but unique enough to be worth at least one trip. The deep fried watermelon, pumpkin... dumplings, and deep fried whole fish are particular standouts. Only miss was the first course, a squash in agedashi stock.Squash was a bit too hard and the flavours were too standard. Everything else though, ranged from very good to fantastic. Read more
Tasting menu was great. Really enjoyed the deep fried watermelon, white rabbit glazed dumplings, wontons, and the Braised beef... gnocchi (it was their special of the day). Cocktails were okay but not memorable. We had the jitterbug perfume (I’d recommendthis). The old fashioned had too much ice and was watered down. The Tom Yum was too sweet. Read more
SUCH a wonderful time. Amazing service and a laid back yet elegant atmosphere. Their menu is very interesting but for those who... don't want to decide like us, they offer a $95 pp tasting menu that does the work for you! You can even tell them what you wantincluded and not and they'll take care of it for you. We also got two cocktails which were wonderful and unique. The set mealwas 11 courses including dessert and so good and so filling. You really get to experience a variety of food and tastes alongwith a little bit of their story when it's brought to your table. We got to contrast two types of tacos, and two types ofdumplings for example, and the fusion choices here worked really well together - like a radish slice as the taco tortilla andtruffles with the dumpling were really spectacular. I also loved the noodles and fried watermelon as well as one off the menuitem that blew my mind. All in all just a great experience. The food was delicious and spaced out and so filling. I would loveto return one day! Read more
