" Up until my visit to DAO Dim Sum, I had a clear favorite for dim sum in the city. However, the freshness of the ingredients here has made me second guess that loyalty! Every dish we tried was exquisite; the soup dumplings stole the show for me. Our server was also a delight, making us feel welcomed. The only downside was that it was a bit busy during lunch hours, but given the quality of food, it’s understandable. Definitely returning for more dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried DAO Dim Sum for the first time last month and it was an enjoyable outing. We had a large table and tried a variety of dishes. The highlight was definitely the sampler platter. It was a bit crowded and the wait for food was longer than expected, but our server kept us updated. The food itself was flavorful and satisfying, so we didn’t mind the wait too much. Overall, a safe bet for a good family meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a dim sum lover, I was excited to discover DAO Dim Sum. The 'Signature Dimsum platter' was the perfect choice for sampling a variety of flavors. Each item was delicious, though I was prepared for the high flavors. I didn't mind the wait time, as the atmosphere was pleasant. The service was on point too, with my server remembering details about my order and allergies. This is my new favorite dim sum spot in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! After hearing about this place, I finally decided to check it out last weekend, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance with its soft lighting and jazz in the background made for a perfect dining experience. I really enjoyed the pork soup dumplings, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the presentation of some dishes. Regardless, the taste was still excellent, and service was friendly throughout. Would recommend with a focus on the dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit DAO Dim Sum with a few colleagues during lunch break. The service was fast, and I enjoyed my overall experience. My only complaint is that the food lacked the punch I was hoping for. The 'vegetable dumplings' were decent but not memorable. The atmosphere was clean and modern, conducive towards a casual working lunch. I might give it another try but will be more selective with my orders! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon DAO Dim Sum during a rainy day and it was a wonderful find. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a lazy lunch. I ordered a few dishes from the menu and was particularly fond of the shrimp and chive dumplings, which were delightful. The drink selection was also impressive. I wish I could have tried more, and I’ll be back to do just that! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited DAO Dim Sum a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. The soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in the city. However, while the flavors were fantastic, the service felt slightly indifferent at times, which detracted from the ambiance. Still, the cozy surroundings and good food made for a robust outing.
