One of my friends and I came here on a whim since we frequented the Momofuku Noodle Bar and was curious to dine in the lush ambience of Daisho. Even though the view was scarce from the third floor, it was still nice to see the outside through the top-down glass windows. The finishing of the place was extremely clean and it somehow reminded me of an upscale ikea (weird right?) Because we didn't have any reservations, we were snuck into a table with a time limit of 2 hours, which was plenty enough! An appetizer of pickled cucumbers with chilli peppers was brought to us shortly before our waiter gave us a thorough run-down of the menu. In addition, we got to sample a drink from the friendly bartender. In the end, we ended up ordering 2 dishes:
Roasted Rice Cake (spicy pork sausage, chinese broccoli, tofu) - nice and spicy. it is reminiscent of the korean dish. the bottom of each rice cake is crispy. Delicious
Duck buns (with pickled turnips and date hoisin sauce) - the duck was amazing. everything tasted like i could get it from Banh Mi Boys though
Overall, I like the concept of sharing the dishes ie. everything is chopped up to bite-sized pieces so you can focus more on the taste and texture of the food.
