Absolutely exceeded my expectations!
Being a regular of Thursday night Kareoke upstairs at the extension Lo Pan. I have always been a huge fan of the staff and atmosphere.
Dai Low is a journey for the tastebuds. Chef, serves, and management work seamlessly to guide you through a very special world of food. Each one just as exceptional as the last at making you feel at home along the way.
Perfect example of how food and service when done right can be poetry. A medication for the soul. Worth every penny I will return, I will recommend, I will see you next week for Kareoke.
I recently celebrated my birthday at Daì Lo with friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. We opted for the tasting menu, which showcased an incredible fusion of Vietnamese and French cuisines. Each dish was both inventive and delicious, featuring standout plates like fried spicy watermelon, smoked trout on a Betel leaf, 90-day dry-aged butcher shoppe rib eye, and crispy octopus tacos.
The service was impeccable—our servers were attentive, knowledgeable, and provided thorough descriptions of each dish, which added to the overall experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion or a memorable night out.
I would highly recommend Daì Lo to anyone looking for unique, elevated flavors and top-notch hospitality. It’s a dining experience worth savouring!

DaiLo – A Dining Experience to Remember
I recently had the pleasure of dining at DaiLo to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this restaurant prides itself on attention to detail, impeccable service, and a passion for creating memorable experiences.
The service was flawless. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in ensuring every aspect of our evening was perfect. Their thoughtful recommendations and thorough explanations of the menu added a personal touch that elevated the experience even further.
The food? Simply breathtaking. Every dish was a masterpiece, featuring layered flavors that unfolded with each bite. The balance of textures and the bold yet harmonious flavors spoke to a culinary team that truly understands their craft. Every element, no matter how small, was executed with precision and creativity.
The ambiance of DaiLo tied everything together beautifully. The space felt both intimate and lively, creating the perfect setting for a celebration.
Overall, DaiLo is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. If you’re looking for exceptional service, thoughtfully crafted dishes, and an unforgettable evening, this is the place to be.

We had an incredible culinary experience at DaiLo!! We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairings and I must say this is the way to do it. Every bite was unique and delicious. So many flavour combinations that paired perfectly with our wine. We sat at the bar which was a great place to watch the bartenders at work. Chef Nick Liu goes above and beyond to create an experience like no other. The amuse bouche was next level with so much flavour I couldn’t wait to try the next morsel of goodness. The Khao Soi, which isn’t often on the menu blew me away. The dumplings, the betel leaf app and the truffle fried rice were also delectable. I loved the Tom Yum Booze as a starter cocktail. The atmosphere was alive and the music was on point! I highly recommend DaiLo and can’t wait to go back.
DaiLo has always been on our tasting menu bucket list, and they did not disappoint! Their attention to detail with the menu and atmosphere was noteworthy. Our server Emily was diligent, friendly, and accomodating. She answered every single question and made our experience memorable.
The menu items were flavourful, thoughtfully arranged, and highlights the best elements of Asian cuisine. They had their signature dishes but also added in some lovely off-menu ones. Service was well-paced and orderly. They will tailor menu items to your preference or if you have any dietary restrictions.
It was my partner’s birthday so they surprised her with a wonderful Vietnamese coffee tiramisu dessert! We appreciated the culinary experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend DaiLo for anyone looking for a tasting menu experience or a special occasion. Thank you DaiLo chefs and staff for your service!
15/10. We did the tasting menu and they catered it to what we wanted to try. It was some of the best food we’ve had in the city. Tom was our server and if you can I’d recommend asking for him! He elevated the experience from amazing to outstanding for us

Fusion Chinese cuisine with a Southeast Asian and subtle Italian twist, where each course is thoughtfully balanced with rich textures and vibrant flavors.
We chose the chef’s tasting menu, which included five courses and a simple dessert. For one of the courses, we could select an entree from the à la carte menu. Our favorite was the dumplings in the fourth course, reminiscent of ravioli. The Italian flavors blended with Chinese sophistication created an exceptional combination!

I am beginning to suspect that all these reviews are paid for; which further, makes me feel like I was set up for disappointment. Overall, the experience was just mediocre, if not below average. The food wasn't anything out of the ordinary, especially considering the price. Additionally, the service was incredibly poor. It was a milestone Birthday for my father which I had let the servers know in advance in our reservation, and also at our table, but no one seemed to care. We had four or five different people servicing us at once, as opposed to having one server, and each one seemed beyond bored explaining the dishes to us.
There are far better Asian restaurants in Toronto, take Lee's or Mimi's Chinese for example. I would recommend going to one of these places if you're looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate at. Will not be returning.

A really great and affordable tasting menu option in Toronto! The tasting menu came with a decent amount of food so well worth the price.
The service and ambiance of DaiLo was great - elevated casual. Lots of people there because it’s a popular spot but service was excellent.
The food itself was pretty good. All the drinks were incredible and my favourite was the Tom Yum. The mains were okay but everything before and after the mains were quite good. The stand out dishes were the betal leaf, potato, beef carpaccio, and pasta. A very special shout out to the mashed potatoes, I could have had an entire plate of that because it was so good.
Went for dinner, but not sure I would go back. Some dishes were good but others I wasnt very impressed with.
