Dim sum is a great way to eat just the amount of food you want, not overstuffing yourself at lunch so that you feel heavy and sleepy all afternoon.... and for me, having roast duck was a real plus, I love duck. The service was attentive and the prices good. I am absolutely going to go back soon.

I let him choose the spot; I knew he'd pick something good and something close to my hotel. There was a bit of a wait when we got there, but it went pretty quickly (and bonus points for the live wait list, it's nice to be able to track where you are without having to wait to talk to a person.) Once seated, we took a closer look at the menu, then decided to share a selection of plates. (Side note for future me: I *really* need to stop telling people - especially guys - that I'm "so hungry I could eat my weight in [insert food item here] because that's never the truth and it always ends in me tapping early.) We ordered two of the Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings, one Gourd Luffa, one pan-fried pork buns, one pork, shrimp and cabbage and one Four Happiness Kaofu. See? Way too much food for two people. I'd say my favorite was the Kaofu: wood ear mushrooms (such an underutilized vegetable!), braised tofu and bamboo shoots - you really cannot go wrong. The flavor was slightly sweet but also savory, and the mushrooms were the star. I was also pleasantly surprised by the gourd luffa. I'd asked my friend what it was, exactly, and he gave a description in the vicinity of "melon-like" that had me questioning his judgement...but it turned out to be so good! The flavor was very refreshing - surprising for a blustery winter night - it reminded me of a winter melon. The other dumplings were good, don't get me wrong. We enjoyed the flavors and the textures of the house xia long bao and the pan-fried dumplings (in all their squirting glory) were excellent and expertly created. It's just that the Kaofu and the Gourd Luffa were standouts.

Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

We also ordered a side of rice as none of the dishes come with it automatically. The spicy wontons came first and they were delicious! The broth it came with was perfectly spicy and so flavorful. Our two other dishes were good as well. The fish fillet with tofu was my favorite. It was similar to mapu tofu but had the fish fillets mixed in as well which I liked. The chicken in garlic sauce was good too but we felt the fish with tofu was much better. The portions are also pretty big so we were able to take our entrees back for future leftovers. Overall it was a good experience, just wish it wasn't an extra charge for white rice and we'd probably skip on the chicken and garlic sauce next time.

I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place. The outside is unassuming and nothing special but inside has the aesthetic of an old Shanghai restaurant. It's ornate and slightly quirky. It's also really big, bigger than I expected.
