I like Dayali... but only for the Peking duck. The rest of the food is extremely greasy, subpar and lacking in flavour. Even my friends who don't eat Chinese food that often can notice the difference between the food at Dayali compared to the food at other restaurants like Asian Legend in Toronto. As other reviewers have noted, the service at Dayali leaves much to be desired. I find if you don't speak Mandarin, it is difficult to get anyone's attention.
All this being said, I do like the Peking duck here. The duck here reminds me of the ones in Beijing, which is difficult to find here in Toronto. Unfortunately that's the only thing that I like to eat here.
Also worth noting - the VIP card does not work at both Toronto locations. I.e. the Dayali card that you bought at the Gibson Drive location will not be accepted at the new Hwy 7 location.
