It seems that 30 Helens agree. Yes, Daio is excellent, more traditional than yer regular raw fishery. Order a cooked fish and that's what you get - head and tail attached. Fermented bean curd? Yes, with the consistency of a fresh booger. But YUMMERS! An acquired taste to be sure. I've acquired it. "Quiet" is the right word, and one of the best things about this place. Just off the busy and way-too-loud Yonge Street drag, it's an oasis. Breathe. Ooouuuummmmmmmmm. Try the pickles on the side. CRUNCHY!
I especially like the busy sidewalk tables during the summer. There's something satisfying about eating expensive raw fish on the street.
Oyasuminasai!
