WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

    Andrew Ku
    The food here is great, classic korean flavors along with some nice modern touches! Our server Jae was super attentive. My friend is allergic to apples and they were able to make accomodations. I highly suggest their mocktails which were perfect for dinner.
    Nick DeSalvo
    The place is a little bit hidden but was recommended by my friend. The crispy rice was great. Very crisp on the outside and nice and cheesy on inside. The sides are also pretty good as well! Coming to the Entrees the Diane sauce with pasta and steak was great. Mushrooms and mustard for the sauce a great match but the squid and rice was my favorite and was the overall winner from my friends. I recommend stopping by and I’ll be going back!
    Maximilian Yeh
    We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience here. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was exceptional—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I especially loved the steak diane pasta, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. To top it off, the service was prompt, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, I highly recommend DAO'N. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!
