Great Asian food in downtown Madison! Lots of variety on their menu and spiciness levels vary as well. You can order the food to your taste of mild to medium to high spiciness. Food was very tasty. Presentation was very nice too. Service was friendly and attentive. Interior is cozy with a nice ambience. We had dinner with friends in a weeknight and enjoyed ourselves very much.

This past weekend, we ordered from Dao Madison for the very first time. Due to our local Chinese restaurant in Florham Park being closed, we decided to give this place a try. Well, I believe my family has found a new local establishment to support!!
The food was really good!! Personally, I didn't love the lo mein or the fried rice but everyone else did so I can't take a star away. I loved their moo shu pork, their egg rolls and their spring rolls....
