Dao's Vietnamese Restaurant

Great service. Very pleasant and helpful. I'd had various Thai dishes before so I have the waitress recommend one. I had one of the clay pot meals and it was very good. The meat was cooked in the clay pot like you would a Dutch oven of the meat in this case chicken with lots of ginger and garlic. Served with steamed riced and some steamed vegetables that you put all together. It was very good. I will be back to try the Vietnamese dishes

Such a good little place! Went for the first time today. They are easy to communicate with. Very polite as well. The sweet younger man at the counter helped me order and talked me through it when I wasn’t sure exactly of what I was getting. The food was so fresh and yummy, and I ate to the point of misery 😂 I’m in town on vacation, but I’ll def go back tomorrow! Such a great experience!

This lil spot is located right Accross the street from my sons place here in Tucson AZ. So as we are here doing some last second planning for his deployment he's telling me a story about this lil kid that comes in to his barber shop with an ENTOURAGE of friends with him, and who turns out to be the son of a couple who own the lil Vietnamese place Accross the street! Well I HAFTA try them!! Haha! Upon entering, its pretty busy for a Sunday (and btw THANK YOU for being open on a Sunday!!!) early afternoon. The decor is cute w it's landscape murals in the walls and plants everywhere; nice floor to ceiling windows along one side that were just calling our names on this beautiful day! First star - The lil lady who served us was on POINT. I didn't catch her name but apparently she doesn't normally work at this location; I later found out that they have two locations (???) I'm sure glad she was there this day tho as she made our day - with her light hearted banter and just Happy demeanor. She made the experience that much MORE Second star - they have Three of my Fave Asian cuisines all in one place - Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese. Add Japanese and they would have All my bases covered! Third Star - they serve Bahn Mi!!! My all time Fave sandwich (which I WILL return another day to partake!) Fourth star - they KNOW HOW TO FRY WHOLE FISH. OMG ya'll cannot KNOW how many places I've been to that don't know how to Hard fry a whole fish!! And they do us one better and Chunk the filets on either side of the fish and deep fry THOSE to a golden crisp along with the rest of the body so that the ENTIRE FISH is crispy like chips!! My son and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this experience!! Oh!!! And the prik nam pla..... She made us some FRESH and it was PERFECT W THE FISH Fifth star - BOBA!!! They have BOBA!!! Now I can't normally drink boba due to the milk in it but here they make it with Non Dairy milk!!! YES!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the green apple or the strawberry. SO YUMMY!!! Try these guys out ya'll!! I will Def be visiting them again before I leave for their Bahn mi and Pho!! Now if they have Chinese Gai lan (broccoli) I may never leave!! Lol Thanks guys!!

Food: Only 4 stars instead of 5 because I consider House Fried Rice entree an easy way to gauge a new Asian restaurant since the items in the rice are supposed to make it a main meal. The very limited shrimps were tiny and the other meat pieces were micro. Also got the Almond Chicken Entree which did not have any vegetables? Different. Would be better with the usually added vegetables on most Almond Chicken plates. At least offer that as an option for an additional charge. The flavors were on point though. It all tasted well. Service: Friendly but we had to flag them down to get refills on their very small cups. They never came back to check if we required anything and since they forgot an egg roll. Atmosphere? They could definitely put up some curtains and adjust the lighting to be more of an Asian dining experience. With the 20% tip our lunch was $60 for two people and it wasn't much better than Panda Express. Side note: We dined with a 3 week old and we clipped his car seat right to their high chairs. All went well for dining with a newborn.

I wish I would have discovered Dao's years ago. Located in front of St. Joe's on wilmot, this is the best "fast" food thai, Chinese food I have had here in Arizona. I order the thai red curry (I get it extra spicy). The Chinese egg rolls, which are large and delicious. The chicken lettuce wraps are unbelievable. Every thing is so fresh, best type of meat cuts used. Absolutely one of my family's favorite place to eat at least a fee time a week. The prices are extremely reasonable. The curry with rice runs about $8.99. You won't be disappointed! Staff is very nice and accommodating.
