Found DaiLo via google search and am so happy I did! We did the Chefs tasting and had an incredible experience - blown away with the flavours. The service was probably the best we’ve ever had - shout out to Shannon and the rest of the staff. VERY thorough in explaining each dish and its ingredients. Highly recommend!

Food quality, presentation was excellent. Service and attention to detail excellent. Restaurant was a bit on the chilly side and background music loud for 10:30am. We did ask the staff to turn down the musics which they did.

Everything about this place is amazing—the atmosphere, the service, the drinks, and, of course, the food. Pria was our waitress, and she was so sweet! It honestly felt like she should’ve been eating with us. My friend and I had the Wagyu truffle wontons, and they were incredible. I was visiting from Nova Scotia and tried them on my last night in Toronto—it made leaving even harder. Until next time, Ultra. I’m coming back for three orders of those wontons!

The duck and fried rice is very good. But the other stuff like the spring roll, popcorn shrimp and cavatelli are not really worth going back for.
