Dayali newest location just opens up in Richmond Hill.
The interior feel a lot more spacious and with more small tables good for 2 or 4 people which is welcoming since reservation is not accepted for 5 or more people.
Obviously, one should be ordering Beijing Roast Duck but for tonight I decided to try out other items on their huge menu.
Stewed Large Meatballs in Brown Sauce ($3) ??? - A-OK but was a little cold when served
Sauteed Shredded Pork in Sweet Bean Sauce ($9.99) ???? - standard
Stir-Fried Pea Sprouts ($9.99) ???? - standard
Steamed Buns with Meat Fillings ($6.99) ?????
Rice Noodle in Spicy and Sour Broth ($3.29) ??? - lack spiciness or sourness, cheap carb filler
Signature Breaded Da Ya Li Pear ($2) ??? - My favourite item of the meal, #everythingtastebetterdeepfried
Though there were only 2 tables at 9:15 pm, 45 minute before closing, The kitchen was extremely slow. I almost want to leave when the steamed buns and pear just took forever to be ready.
Might be back again for other items. Hours of opening though was odd since they closes 10 pm daily, a little early for Chinese restaurants?
Waitstaff is super nice, really apologetic for the slowness of the kitchen and even let me yell at him a little.
