| - My husband and I went to Niagara Falls and Toronto for our honeymoon. We were so excited to try Momofuku Daisho that it was the first place we dined at when we made it to Toronto. However, we had never been more disappointed with a restaurant before!
First, what we liked about the restaurant: Its location was perfect as well as how it was designed. Momofuku Daisho is on the second floor of a building that is all windows, giving you a beautiful view of the street below it. The design is modern but casual outfitted with expensive looking picnic tables and the coolest light fixtures I had ever seen. The restaurant is impressive. I only wished the food was as impressive as the space.
When our server came, my husband mentioned to him that I was gluten-free and he was told when he made the reservation that our server could tell us what I could order. This is when our server decided to hate me. He rolled his eyes and told me that if I couldn't "make myself" eat gluten, my menu options would be very limited. It was how he said it that was so off putting - like I had a choice in my health. He was right, however. There was only four things on the menu that didn't contain gluten: a pork dish, fish dish, radishes, and cauliflower side. I therefore decided to try the cauliflower side with pok pok tamarind, peanut, and apple and the secreto with xo sauce, clams, and bibb lettuce. My husband went with the burger bun with onion, cheddar, and special sauce as an appetizer and the hanger steak lettuce wraps with kimchi, onions, and bibb lettuce.
While the burger bun was very original, my husband was not impressed. Other than the bun looking different than a typical hamburger bun, the taste of the hamburger reminded him of a Mc Donald's hamburger. The hanger steak lettuche wraps were also good, but nothing special and definitely not worth the price.
My order of secreto was disgusting. I took one bite and that was all I could muster. The pork seemed to have zero seasoning and was brined/cooked in such a way that it almost seemed gummy like when you were chewing it. It really had an odd texture that was not pleasant.
The one item that my husband and I did like was the cauliflower. It was cooked so that the cauliflower was slightly carmelized. The peanuts and dried apple in the dish also brought a delicious flavor to the dish.
All in all, we were very disappointed in our meal, and we would not recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Toronto, especially since there are so many fantastic restaurants in the city. However, we would recommend that they grab one drink at the bar so they can enjoy the beauty of the restaurant itself. I just wish that such a beautiful restaurant could serve of equal quality food.
