Daeco is located in the lobby of the 40 St Clair West office building. You could probably walk by this a hundred times and barely notice that there's a restuarant here.
It's a small Japanese family run restaurant where the service is spectacular, to a point where you feel a bit smothered. They're constantly over checking to make sure my tea pot is hot and like a hospital host in a Japanese home making sure I have everything I need.
The owner even saved a copy of a golf magazine for me knowing that I'm a bit of an addict. She must have held on to it for weeks for me to arrive. How many other places know your hobbies and brings you a magazine?!?!
I typically only order the spicy tuna/salmon maki, as that's a great lunch value menu item at $11. You get 8 pieces of each and it comes with a really good miso soup and a typical japanese house salad.
The knife skills of the sushi master definitely needs some work. I have yet to get 8 even pieces. I'll get a giant chunk that I can barely fit into my large mouth, then a piece a quarter of that size.
Knife skill aside, the maki is quite yummy as they throw in tempura bits.
Not sure how long they'll survive here as it doesn't look too busy, but hopefully this'll help change it.
