The garlic salsa is the best thing I've ever had! If you love garlic, you can dip anything in it to give it that extra special something. The red dragon margarita is one of the best margaritas I've ever had and that's saying something! The firecracker chicken is everything you could hope for, and the Kung pao chicken is a wonderful safe option that isn't lacking in any flavor. Will definitely be coming back!

I don’t tend to take a lot of photos of food, but I did snap my hemp infused mocktail & my to go box after we ate our fill. Enjoy lol

I’ve got no complaints, from start to finish this place just kept impressing.

The drinks were delicious. My friend had a couple of Manhattan’s that he said went ā€œreally excellentā€ with all the food. And I had the mint+cucmber, hemp infused mocktail with a single dose… so frigging delicious.

The menu was kind of overwhelming in that everything looked and sounded good. I love that it was color coded. Our waiter was a huge help in figuring out what he wanted- he described the different plates really well so I knew what to expect of each plate and was not let down.

We got the Tribute to Grandma, Garlicky PB (pork belly) rolls, the Wok Seared chicken and the Twice as Nice. Our server was repetitively apologetic about the timing of the food, but we had no issue! Since the food is family style plates, everything is a shareable so it really didn’t matter when what comes out.

I can’t stress enough how incredibly tasty everything was! Nothing was too spicy or not spicy enough. The PB rolls had this sauce on top that we dipped our Tribute to Grandma buns in; we just couldn’t get enough. Rice is complimentary, but I’ll say I usually end up chowing through two bowls of rice myself anytime I eat Chinese but this time we only went through a single bowl between the two of us because oh my god the plates were just too good. Great sized plates, amazing value.

Oh also, we went around 4pm and the place was dead (between service and all) so we had a very relaxed meal. It was great. The service was well timed and friendly, the staff hanging around were welcoming, decor is cute af (love the plum walls), and every dish hit.

This place is a definite gem and will be making all of my friends come here from now on :)

Oh! Kinda lowkey love that my coke came in a can and not from the bar’s tap. Not sure what it tells me about the restaurant but it made me love it a bit more.

Mapo tofu is well made, tender and tender, with bright red color. If the tofu is coated with gravy, it means that the tofu is well done when thickening the gravy. In fact, I feel that the mapo tofu made in many Chinese restaurants in the United States is not bright red in color, and many chefs do not sprinkle it with Sichuan peppercorns. I'm sure the mapo tofu in this restaurant is very authentic.

Translation: The Mapo Tofu is cooked very well. It's numbing, tender, very red. A layer of sauce is on the surface of the tofu, which means the chef did well when thickening the sauce. Honestly, I feel many Chinese restaurants in the U.S don't make the Mapo tofu red in color and there is no peppercorn powder. I am certain the Mapo Tofu here is very authentic.

We had a great experience at Dashi. Our service was extraordinary thanks to Patrick and Christie. They were very accommodating with our dog and baby! They have good vegetarian options. We will be back!

I made a review and it was deleted... This place is not worth the money. PERIOD. nothing traditional about this place. This isn't fried rice. And this egg drop soup has tofu. Won't be back.

Dined in with my partner for lunch. The decor and the space is very nice! There is lovely art on the walls, comfortable chairs, cute lighting, etc.
Our server was fantastic! She explained the menu, told us about some of the events they host, and gave us food recommendations based on some questions she asked us.
Unfortunately, the food was a little lacking. My partner got the Kung Pao Chicken, which was not spicy at all, and personally, I didn't care for the sweetish tangy aftertaste. I got the Burning Man noodles, which took a while to grow on me, but I ended up happy with my choice.
We also ordered some crispy dumplings and pumpkin gooey cakes, which were fine, but nothing special. Our bill came out to about $45.
I would like to give a higher total review since our waitress and the atmosphere were great, but I go to a restaurant for the food, and it left me second guessing a return.

We came here excited to try the soup dumplings and ordered a series of other dishes, but everything was pretty mediocre, huge disappointment.
