Honestly the food was fine and service were great! We got the tasting menu ($75/person) and tried 8 different dishes. We did mention needing an accommodation for no spicy dishes as I don’t eat spicy.
The only reason I docked one star is because of amount of food for value. As a petit lady this was filling enough for me but my partner was definitely not full. We felt that had we known about the selection of dishes within the tasting menu we would’ve preferred to order a la carte, and still come out to a total less than what we paid.
Recommendation for restaurant would be to ask diners in advance if there was any dish they’re dying to try to ensure it’s included in the menu (I.e., we asked about a dish when discussing the menu and was disappointed it wasn’t included for us).

The area isn’t the most appealing, but I appreciate the small, local charm of this restaurant. They have a nice patio, and the dining room itself feels intimate, with a clear view of the kitchen across the space.
The staff are warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They also offer thoughtful recommendations when it comes to their wine selection.
We had the tasting menu, which had good portions and got pretty full by the end of the meal. The dishes leaned on Asian influences, with ingredients like gochujang and soba noodles. The menu started off strong: the caramelised eggplant was nice, and I liked the cauliflower with the blue cheese sauce. The pork belly was crisp and well-prepared, but the richness of the fat can get overwhelming. It was served with potatoes which unfortunately weren’t the most pleasant to eat, since they tended to crumble apart rather than hold together with a creamy texture.

Went there for a friends bday was disappointed with the food. We are veggie so we understand our limitations, we ordered “charred cucumber, doenjang, soy custard, toasted rice + mushroom powder” and summer vegetable crudité, tonnato, crispy onions.
The first dish is sad cucumbers in a gross sauce didn’t even finish it. The summer vegetable item is raw carrot and cauliflower unseasoned on what looks like hummus but it’s mixed with tuna.
We didn’t actually order this the server gave it on accident but we didn’t complain. Sad it ended up having tuna tho. Then we ordered the cucumber dish (which we had ordered in the first place).
The atmosphere is cute and good spot for drinks. Our friends that ate meat seemed to like their food.
High cost for what it was. Nice patio tho. The tofu dish was ok!

Large assortment of wine, and saki to choose from…but I felt like a cocktail instead which was made well with an impressively clear ice cube shaped as a long rectangle that floated vertically in the highball glass. I didn’t feel the pork belly hit the mark (as it tasted like dry HK-style roasted pork), but everything else was good. Especially liked dipping the bread into the dip that came with the peppers. Service was really good and this place has good atmosphere. More like a wine/saki bar with food available to have with your drink.

Small food menu and glass wine selection. All the dishes were decent with unique twist in flavour. Liked their pickles a lot but wished for more quality. Also wished more variety in natural wine choices.

The pork belly and the clams with gnocchi were the best dishes. The tomatoes could have been better, tasted bland like purchased from grocery store. Patio tables and chairs could be more refined for that kind of dining experience.

The little restaurant that could. Dachi for all its unpretentiousness, overdelivers on quality, originality and best of all price. Where else can you have a 9 course meal for $75.00 per person. If this isn't the deal of all Vancouver, i dont know what is, and we have been to quite a few restaurants. Bravo Dachi. I have been 4 times, everytime was original and great. You have my patronage.

We had our wedding reception at Dachi last week. We are parents so getting out for a nice meal doesn't happen very often and it was so nice to be able to treat our friends and family to a delicious meal and beautiful dining experience. From our first emails with Sarah, one of the owners and general manager, we felt so welcomed and received a very high level of care. The chef designed a menu that was the very best from preparation and complementary pairings to elegant presentation. Sharing plates allowed us to try a broad range of flavours the chef is capable of with the freshest ingredients. These guys can even make potatoes seem new and exciting (carrot top pesto- yum!). Its clear they have very good relationships with local producers and when the food arrives they are proud to share where the vegetables are sourced from! We enjoyed how excited the servers were about each wine they offered, sharing a story about the source and flavour profiles to look for with each glass while always making you feel welcome. As for pulling off an event, every detail was taken care of and was beyond our expectations. They were flexible with last minute changes and happily accommodated some personal touches we wanted to have for our big day. I highly recommend for special events or just treating yourself to a very nice meal while feeling like a VIP. Thank goodness for this local gem and all of the local producers they support. We can't wait to go back!
