| - Visited Daisho on a Monday night to celebrate my partner's birthday. As there were only two of us we weren't able to indulge in the any of the large format dishes that Daisho is truly known for, but we happily forged on with ordering off of the a la carte menu instead of Winterlicious (which is a steal at $45 / person BTW).
We started off with cocktails - three wise men and kaleidoscope - flavourful and boozy - in a good way.
The hits: chicken and tongue buns, buckwheat noodles, brussel sprouts, rice cakes, scallops, hanger steak ssam.
The misses: apple kimchi salad - server said it was one of their most popular items: it was not enjoyed; carrot cheesecake - texturally this was great, but was a weird marriage of rustic and sweet, creamy flavours.
Service was thoughtful, conversational and informative. Though, when our dessert arrived, it was served and introduced as being paired with a dessert wine on the house - but I was charged for one glass on my bill. Did not appreciate the hidden up sell.
I might come back to Daisho but only with a group of 4 or more to pre-order one of the large dishes.
