My family have been going to Daio for a number of years. Even now that we've moved to the US, whenever we return to Toronto, we make a stop at Daio. The quality and taste of the food has remained and it is equally as good as we first came across it. Daio serves truly authentic Japanese cuisine. If you're looking for gimmicky loaded rolls, this is not the place. What you should expect is an authentic Japanese profile with traditional dishes.
Things to order are:
-Beef Udon, Nabeyaki Udon
-Chicken (tori) karagee
-softshell crab
-handrolls (good size and very fresh)
-vegetable tempura
-futo maki
This is a family owned establishment with the kindest husband-wife team. During our recent visit, we noticed that there were tons of guests coming to pick up takeout orders.
We love Daio and would recommend to anyone visiting Toronto!
