We went to Dao with a large group and it was great! We had an entire hibachi grill to ourselves with two cooks because of the size of the group. The quality of the food was very good and much better than any of us expected. Service is quick and entertaining. Great food, great service, fun night!

Food is decently good. Wait staff can def use work. We dined in on the dining side, instead of the hibachi side. Joy, our waitress, lacked communication skills. Never checked on us, or anything. Had to practically jump in front of her to get any boxes or the check. Very hard to understand as well. This place would’ve gotten 4 stars, but the waitress made it 3. Why they have her serving is beyond me. My recommendation would be go to the hibachi section and save yourself a headache. Kind of on the pricey side as well. 3 people was $ 60, not including drinks. Enjoy.

My favorite sushi and hibachi place in the area. I worked for Fuji Grill for a number of years and I can honestly say that the price, quality and even the cleanliness of the establishment do not compare. All of the portions are much larger than most sushi/hibachi places, and the prices are lower. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The fish used for sushi is always very fresh. They also have a two person hibachi meal for only $ 55 that includes lobster, filet, chicken, shrimp, rice, noodles, soup, salad and desert. It’s so much food, you end up with about three or four meals! The sushi prices are also great. Regular rolls are eight pieces instead of six. Sashimi comes in three pieces for a price most places would charge for one. Also love the happy hour prices. I also really love the fact that the hibachi chefs are professional and respectful. Working at Fuji, we would get a LOT of complaints about the chefs being handsy and inappropriate with women. They also constantly drank and were drunk around customers. This is not the case at Dao. The entire demeanor of the restaurant is relaxing, organized, respectful and friendly. It’s also very nice that the hibachi and regular dining areas are separated. This helps with the noise level on busy nights. I personally like a regular table and don’t want to deal with all the noise of the hibachi tables, so having separate rooms is wonderful. They also do a great job with take out. I’ve never had to wait more than fifteen minutes for my food, even at busy times. Definitely my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area! ***Also keep in mind, most hibachi restaurants make their servers split their tips half and half with the hibachi chefs. Any extra tip you give the chef goes right into their pocket while they still get half of the server’s tip. I have worked at many hibachi places and can confirm that this is also done at Dao. Just keep that in mind when you’re tipping.

What a great place for sushi! I’ve been here many times and have always had a great experience. The sushi is well priced and tastes great. Dao offers a terrific lunch deal that I urge you to try. Dao also offers hibachi which is terrific for a date night. Besides hibachi, I like the menu as it has several items but isn’t too overwhelming. Additionally, they have a wide variety of tasty cocktails. A traditional Long Island Iced Tea alleviated a day’s stress. My wife said the same about the«Volcano» which was served in a bowl. If you’re looking for a great sushi/Asian cuisine experience for a good price, certainly go to Dao.

My work comes her every month to eat and talk about how we did that month. The food is amazing. You can tell that all of the hibachi chefs absolutely love what they do. They are super funny and make the experience 10x better. Watching the food being cooked is another experience. That is a performance in it’s self. There is fire comedy and SAKI. I would highly recommend coming here if you like Japanese food and hibachi you need to come. The food us great the workers are super friendly, it’s a blast!

Who knew that a Denny’s could be re-done into a super cute Hibachi restaurant? Went here with a small group of 5 and we got our own table. I really liked that — in other restaurants they often crowd groups together to fill the table. However, not on a Friday night which was great for us to be able to talk«girl stuff» and not worry about others at the table. The food was fresh and delicious. The chef did a great job of cooking and entertaining us while we gorged on veggies, rice, noodles, soup and salad — this was even before we had our main entrees! It was a great deal for the price paid and I would go back. Great location for the Southtowns.

The very talented hibachi chef, put on quite a show, the food was delicious, and quite affordable, you can get those exquisite tempura rolls in the lunch special too.

This is the best hibachi out of Fuji grill and shogun. I love how they give you rice and noodle where some other places make you choose one or the other. My fiancé said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever ate. I will be here again! The food was amazing and although it’s not much from the outside, the inside is gorgeous!!!

I think it awesome that they tore down Denny’s by the 5 Corners and put up this place, its just a 15 Minute walk from my House. Finally a good restaurant that’s within walking distance of my house. The first time we went here(me and my Parents) was a little over 2 ½ years ago, we walked and were sat by the Waterfall Glass(which shows the Room where the Hibachi takes place). To start off me and my mom got the Golden Spider(Fried Soft Shell Crab with Ponzu Sauce, Crab was nice and Crispy) I also got 3 Piece of Sushi(Uni, Scallop and Eel), my Dad got a Bowl of Seafood Soup. For our Entrée Mom got the Sexy Lobster Roll(Lobster Tempura and Avocado topped with Lobster Salad, Eel Sauce and a Spicy Mayo). My Dad got the Beef Tataki Salad(Rare Sliced Beef with Scallion and Teriyaki Sauce) and I got the Dragon Roll(Tempura Shrimp inside and topped with Eel and Avocado). The one problem that we had was that they were a little unorganized and they didn’t bring out all our dishes at the same time, Mom had to wait 8 minutes for her dish to come out. To finish off me and Mom split a slice of Banana’s Foster Cheesecake(I thought I wasn’t gonna like cuz it would have Chunks of Banana but it was a Smooth, Rich and Creamy Purée). The food was great, but the service needed a little bit of Work. All the other times I’ve here was for Lunch, I’ve been here nearly 20 Times. Here are some of my Favorite things to get: Assorted Pieces of Sushi(Whatever I feel like Ordering), Shrimp Shumai(I love those Dumplings), Sabre Roll(Tempura Lobster Inside, topped with Sliced Scallop, Avocado and Sriracha and wrapped in a Soy Wrap), Pan Seared Duck Breast(It was my first time ever eating Duck), Duck Spring Roll(Nothing better than biting into that Roll and eating Tender pieces of Duck), Ika Maru — BBQ Squid(I liked the Smoky flavor it had). Seafood Soup(So many Ocean Delicacies in one Bowl), I’ve also gotten the Sexy Lobster Roll and the Golden Spider on Occasion. I’ve also tried some Cocktails(Singapore Sling and the Lychee Martini). My Least favorites are the Miso Soup(Too Salty), The Tuna Tartare, Mango Ceviche(the Cuts on the Fish are both wrong they looked like Worms, a Tartare the fish is supposed to be Diced and in a Ceviche the Fish is supposed to be in Chunks and it didn’t even taste like it was marinated in Citrus) and the Edamame(just Boring). Other than that I love coming here, I love trying freshly made Seafood and Meat. There not gonna lose me if they Tried !!!

Stopped here with a co-worker for lunch. We were greeted and sat almost immediately. Upon entering we were asked if we wanted just a table or to sit at a hibachi grill. We opted for just a table. The waiter came over took our drink order and also asked us if we were ready to order. I’m always a fan when a waiter asks that especially when I am on a lunch hour crunch. I ordered the combination hibachi lunch that comes with your choice of two meats(I chose Steak and Shrimp) soup or salad, mixes veggies and white or brown rice. The soup and our drinks almost came immediately. The soup was served at a perfect temperature to eat right away. Our lunch entrees came in a reasonable time. Everything was cooked as ordered and tasted great. The I only thing holding back a 5 star rating is the protein portion size. Our entrees also were served with two different types if sipping sauces. I also wished that the waiter explained what they were to us. Overall a good lunch and will definitely return.

By far my favorite restaurant!!! The staff is very welcoming, after only a couple times being there the owner remembered me and my name! The chefs are amazing and the food is outstanding! I would recommend this to anyone who loves sushi or hibachi! The set up is awesome! It’s not far from McKinley and Knicks Fuji grill out of the water!!!
