| - Daisho was disappointing to say the least. Had a reso for three, but one was stuck at work, so the two of us took our seats and told the waitress we'd wait for the third.
Got some drinks while we waited and that might have been the best part of the experience. Tried Fresh Ginger Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost ($4). A really refreshing flavor from pop ginger ale.
Despite knowing we were waiting for the third to arrive, the waitress was quite pushy on having us order something. So we got the shrimp bun ($12), which sounded good when described, but was underwhelming when it arrived. Ingredients were very minimalist, and the flavors were very basic; nothing impressive.
Anyway, once it was clear the third wouldn't be able to make it in time, we ordered the hanger steak and chicken thigh ($50 in sum). Again, disappointing. Mediocre protein, no wow factor with the flavors (kimchi and sriracha), and the portions were very limited.
Really nothing to rave about here. I think the only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is that the experience does seem more enjoyable in a larger-sized party with whom you'd have access to the "large" format items. That said, the hypothesis here is that beyond the novelty factor, the food probably wouldn't taste any better.
