" A true gem in Chinatown! Dakao offers an extensive menu filled with authentic Vietnamese fare. The Pho is a must-try, and the Catfish Clay Pot is beyond delicious. Despite the crowds, the staff manages to keep the service running smoothly and efficiently. It's a go-to spot for anyone looking to indulge in Vietnamese cuisine, as their food showcases the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dakao is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food! I had the Chicken Pho, and it was simply exquisite. The broth had an incredible depth of flavor, and the chicken was so tender. I also enjoyed the fresh herbs that accompanied the dish, adding a vibrant touch. The restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so be prepared to wait a little. Overall a five-star dining experience that I will eagerly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Dakao after hearing rave reviews, and I can see why! The pho was excellent, much better than what I’m used to. The combination of spices and fresh herbs was spot-on! On the other side, the service was a little slow; I think they were short-staffed that day. But in any case, I was left annoyed rather than impressed. I hope this isn’t the norm! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thoroughly impressed with my visit to Dakao last week. I ordered the catfish in caramel sauce and was captivated by the flavorful blend of spices. Though the service was a tad slow, the quality of the food made up for it. The atmosphere is delightful and family-friendly. I can't wait to return and try more dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I highly recommend Dakao! The tasting experience here is something else. I ordered a combo plate with a variety of dishes to share with my family, and each item brought a burst of authentic Vietnamese flavors. We particularly loved the garlic butter wings. The decor adds an inviting touch, enhancing a cozy vibe. Although it tends to get a bit crowded, I believe the food and ambiance are worth the wait. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dakao is an interesting place! The menu has so many choices, it's overwhelming. I ordered a mixed rice plate and it came with generous portions, which were impressive for the price. Unfortunately, the flavors fell flat compared to what I've had at my family's home. I expected fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The vibe is casual, but I hoped for a more authentic experience as a whole. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the most delightful dinner at Dakao! I ordered the garlic butter shrimp and it was divine. I also tried their famous chicken pho. The broth had the perfect balance of flavors and the chicken was juicy! I appreciated the quick service, especially on a busy Saturday night. This restaurant is definitely worth checking out!
