Awesome atmosphere and service at this lovely restaurant. Had the tasting menu that provided 9 family style dishes and it was well prepared and unique. Was hoping to see some of the dishes on the a la carte served but nonetheless it was tasty food and drinks!

This place has been my hidden gem where you can enjoy amazing foods at a relatively good price. Quality of food is amazing. We’ve been here many times and every dish had a beautiful unique taste every time. Definitely recommend having a course menu.

I was having one of those weeks, and then my friend pulled me out that night to get a drink and maybe some food. And well, we wounded ourselves here for a night of debachery. I literally just called ahead to see if they could accomodate us for the night, and they said yes. We have a bar seat for the both of you, and I told them I'll be there in 10.A little story about me and Dachi, every single time I have wanted to come here to have a drink or like come to eat, I have been denied. Both of the times I have arrived, they were having a private function. And I was so sad, until this time around.Anyways, once we arrived, they sat us at a table instead of a bar, because we came around 6, which is usually early. And once we were seated, we walked over to their wine wall. The hostess went over the wine wall with us, and we chose a fun wine. We drank some of it, and my in training friend sommelier said it was good, we opened the bottle and started drinking it.While drinking, we were waiting looking over the menu, and decided to go for the full tasting menu. It was a good decent price too. I knew they were all about tapas, but I wasn't expecting SO MUCH FOOD. When I was walking out, I literally told my friend, I am rolling out. The menu was 9 plates, and 5 courses. So the tasting menu is as follows:3 plates of hors d'oeuvre 1 salad & 1 soup1 appetizer2 main course 1 dessertEach plate has a very specfic flavour, but I remember the most was that salad. Holy cow, their mousse that was used on that salad was beyond phenomenal. From what I remembered, that was a pho inspired salad with pate.Smoked coho with huckleberries and friend enokiThis was fantastic, I enjoyed the smoke coho salmon as this was my first taste of dachi, and it was a good start. I loved how flavorful it was, especially with the amazing texture of the enoki on top.Beef tatareA typical beef tatare. They really doused it with a lot of cheese at the top to give it that added savoury flavour. Might need a bit more oil, but overall a good plate.Herb churros with kalamata olive dipThis was a fun type of food. I enjoy how you can just pick up a random food item and just eat it with some dip. I get it, and it was fun too. Me and my friend were swordfighting each other, I'm such a child.The soup and salad were:Pho inspired sald with pate, as I have said this was my highlight of the night. I would come back just for this plate anyday. Wow.Root vegetable stock soupThis was fun, I loved how each vegatable was cut into little cubes and then cooked in a stock type of soup. It was a deliciously dark flavour with each vegtable and on top of that, the amount of vegetables covered the whole bowl at the bottom.The appetitizer was a gnocchi in ragu sauce. I wished this was more promiment, as I felt it was a bit rushed on the piece, and there could have been more in quantity. On top of that, the plating seems so half par for this.The Savoy Cabbage and Roasted chicken being the main dish was extremely wholesome and delicious.I loved that they grilled the cabbage perfectly and added a bunch of different vegetables within each layer of each leaf. Smokey and perfectly seasoned.The Roasted chicken was a good main dish too, as the chef didn't just use the breast, but there were cuts of meat from the drum stick on there too. I tasted some dark meat too.Ice cream & graham crackers with local berriesA simple cup of ice cream and berries with graham crackers was just enough for me. The berries weren't overly sweet and it was tarty enough for the night.Loved the night at Dachi, and will be coming back in the future with some friends or maybe with another friend as well~!!

What a wonderful space. Highly recommend the "taste the menu" option for just an wonderful experience. So many different dishes and fusions of food are offered. Letting our host pick our drinks for the plates was also a great option as they very much nailed it with sakes, ciders and wine.
Delicious, and excellent service.My partner and I each came in with different dietary restrictions. This can be a hassle for the staff preparing the meals, but they kindly accommodated our needs with no fuss. The server diligently checked with the chef regarding ingredients, and the chef was kind enough to prepare a dish for me that I would be able to eat.We had the 'glorious greens' salad, the seared halibut, and the house tagliatelle.The dressing on the salad was subtle but aromatic, and this was a lovely, light start to the meal.My partner had the seared halibut and said it was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious.I had the tagliatelle. I can't eat tomatoes, so a buttery sauce was substituted with foraged mushrooms. It was wonderful, and if I had a bigger appetite or less willpower I might have ordered it a second time.Thank you, Dachi staff, for an excellent meal. I may have to bring my mother for her birthday :)

Kind staff, great food, & an extensive wine menu for those who partake.Have been a dozen times and they always kill it! Recently went on a busy night, and everyone was still able to make time for questions and explain the dishes. Very accommodating, and were able to adjust the serving for the amount of people we had at the table without question. Really love the staff here.Great mix of unique to classic dishes that keep you guessing.Not to mention they have good prices for the quality that will have you feeling full.One of my fav spots in the city! Always a delight and never had a negative experience! Thank you Dachi team ?

Dachi is a great place to go for small plates, natural wines, and sake. On a sunny day, no matter the season, their patio is the place to be. The food is always packed with flavour (enough for me to forgive the priciness given the portion sizes) and I admire the number of local producers they work with.My favourite dish is a fairly new addition to the menu: savoury churros. You can't go wrong with cheese and herbs! I was pleasantly surprised at how light and airy the churros were too. The kalamata olive dip they were served with was so smooth and really boosted the umami. My other go-tos are dishes with Peruvian influence. Dachi's lomo saltado is the best I've had in Metro Van so far! And if you like raw seafood, try the scallop tiradito.Service is always excellent. The staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to wine. Ask them to help with pairings with whatever you plan to eat! It makes for a top notch experience.

No service while waiting for a table and guests behind us got seated before us as they seemed like regulars. When we got seated finally there were plenty of open tables. Staff clearly only talked to regulars and ignore us during the meal and never checked in on us during the meal even when glasses were empty. Shame.
