Simple diner offering flavors from Japan, China & Thailand, with delivery service available.
Went for sushi and it was excellent. Ordered chicken satay and shrimp curry to go. The chicken satay was just about the weakest chicken display I have ever seen. $9 dollars for maybe 3 ounces of chicken. Hate leaving a bad review but when I went back there to show her she said “ Yes it’s bigger when it starts”. Ummm what kinda chicken shrinks that much? Last time we will visit unfortunately. This chicken was extremely dry and chewy. Maybe leftover. Edit: 11//09/ 24 look at picture 4. That is chicken satay! Juicy and delicious.
The service was very fast. We were seated, then 2 minutes later they came to get our order. The sushi was alright. I would prefer it to be cold rather than warm. No loud music.
Amazing service we wanted for nothing our server was fantastic. The food was phenomenal ! We sat in a cozy side section and had a great time. The prices we very reasonable too! We highly recommend it
*RAW photos attached* I order the same few things and lately it's been raw. Today I ordered a steak bento box lunch special, always make sure to say bento box (there's nothing else in the menu with that word) and when I got there it was the wrong order and then they accused me of being the one who ordered wrong and not the new lady at the front who misunderstood me and got upset with me. I was kind and reasonable throughout the experience and when I got back to my car to eat the food I spend money on, it was raw. Never again. Shame because I used to like this place a lot.
From out of town, stumbled on Dao fusion driving by, hitting it on google maps. Fortunate enough to stop by before the end of their happy hour ending at 6:30. Great attentive accommodating service. Rolls were fantastic. My only nudge would be that they offer a pad Thai half plate for those also ordering sushi. Learned that the bear’s name is wasabi. Excellent!
I LOVE DAO! I've been here about 3-4 times over the last year just for the Sushi Boat! I highly recommend it. Thank you!

Great spot for specialty sushi

Wonderful atmosphere, great food, pleasant staff and experience
Food & service are always excellent
5 stars! Very good Sushi Shrimp Temporal Rolls with the Rock Shrimp, the lady always knows our favorite seat every time! Treats us like a celebrity, definitely a hidden gem in stratford! Thanks Dao Fusion for your good customer service
Always my go-to for hibachi noodles & rolls. Fresh and fast service.
Lunch bento box with chicken teriyaki was mediocre at best. The sides were OK, but the chicken itself was less than stellar. Too bad because usually the food is much better.
Delicious!
The sushi here was really great. Plus loved the atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out! Service was fast so 👍👍.
Yummy food and great service!! Love the people here!
good

Food was not great drunken noodles were horrible. Not very polite had to change table to accommodate empty restaurant. Apparently they make all variants of martini just not a regular martini. Would not recommend!
Online order-kid sitting at counter forgot to get it off printer so after waiting 30min to go pick up we had to wait another 20min or so once we got there. That kinda stuff happens when u order online I get it. But the food was horrible, no taste rolls and just fell apart, hands down worst sushi I have ever had, I even buy the pre made sushi from the grocery store back home and it is 10 times better then this.
Awesome food for years!
Received my food through Grubhub so I cannot comment on the service/ atmosphere. But as an Asian, this ramen is rather disappointing and is lazily put together.
Noodles being used in this “Tonkotsu Ramen” are the instant noodle type of noodles that you can get from stop and shop. The ‘tonkotsu’ soup tastes weak and lacks flavor. I was looking for ramen and came across their fusion restaurant, when I clicked to check their website it is on their logo that says “we serve ramen noodle”. For a fusion restaurant that advertises Ramen noodle on their logo and offers sushi and sashimi, I expected more of their understanding of Japanese culture and authenticity of Tonkotsu Ramen
Not good. The tempura was far too oily, and the food was extremely close to flavorless; not worth the price. Staff was not friendly at all.
I could name a lot of other Asian restaurants that cook far better food than them.
I ordered delivery and placed an order for beef with broccoli, prepared gluten free. This restaurant has always been good with modifying for gluten free. However, today they just made the food plain and dumped a bunch of gluten free soy sauce on top. It was barely edible. Also, why does the delivery driver not have change? I informed them over the phone I was paying cash. I didn't bother calling because in past experiences they don't seem to care.
Great flavor and attention to detail, large sashimi portions, and fair pricing for the quality and quantity. My only critique for my visit was that the fried oysters were boiling hot inside, and I was given no warning. So I burned my mouth a bit. Additionally, the assorted sashimi had a couple duplicate items in it. I would have liked to see each 2 to 3 piece portion as a different fish to taste. Other than that, I think the best thing was the sashimi portions being double what I typically see at a sushi restaurant.
Bad service little food and racists
Bad attention if they are Latinos do not go they are racists bad portion and they saw us as insects
Rude lady providing service and gross food.
Great food nice staff very unique seats love it
Top notch 🍣
It was just ok.
Best sushi in the area.
Got delivery on Christmas Eve. Fantastic food fast service friendly people. Very pleased.
Such a great find!! Cute hole in the wall kind of place. The food was absolutely delicious!! Fresh ingredients and very nice service. Definitely would go back again. Had a good amount of selections for vegan / vegetarian options.
I ordered from Dao through Seamless. The expected time for delivery was 40-50 minutes, and the food did not arrive until almost 2 hours after order was placed. When I called to ask for an update, twice, I was hung up on. The food arrived cold and my boyfriend became ill from the shrimp tempura. This restaurant is overpriced, service is poor and food is below average.
Not bad for a remote location with low traffic!! Lots of parking,
Excellent satay, sauce and sweet potato rolls.
One of our favorite local restaurants. They have a large menu, and I have been pleased with all the dishes ordered (we get takeout once a week or so). Some of our favorite dishes include jalapeno stuffed shrimp appetizer (not on online menu), massaman curry, mango curry, pad thai, chicken fried rice, steak hibachi, and others. We have never been disappointed and find this restaurant to be better than the local 'Chinese' restaurants. Plus, my wife needs to be gluten free, and they have never messed up as have some other local restaurants.
Food is exceptional, and nice calm casual environment in restaurant
Great variety of cuisines all in one place. The KFC baos are ok. Crab rangoon roll is pretty good. Thai mango sauce needed more flavor.
It was good
Fabulous sushi and pan Asian cuisine
They took 2 hours to deliver our food! When it was an hour in, I called to check on my order, and the woman said it was just heading out the door now and was on its way. After another 45 mins, I called back and all she said was just that it was busy and still on its way. When the food finally arrived, they didn't send it with any of the "extras"; no sauces, no chopsticks, no fortune cookies, none of it. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the food was still warm, and the mei fun and the lettuce wraps were pretty good; the garden salad wasn't good so I don't recommend that. Maybe their take out option is better, but overall, I will not be ordering delivery from them again.
A relaxing spot to stop for lunch when on the road. A comfortable pause with good food (Hong Kong Duck soup) and good service.
Amazing food, great service, definitely recommend
Ordered the Thai and hibachi lunch special and was not thrilled with the authenticity of the taste. For a fusion restaurant, always take precautions in your expectations of restaurants that try to cook a variety of cuisines. You always will find something that lands somewhat in the middle but never close. Dao fusion is one of those restaurants that fails to meet expectations. It's only good thing to say about the restaurant is that the portions were justified for the price if you're looking for something close to Asian.
Good food, perfect portion for lunch
Not a big fan of doing this as I know what it means for the restaurant. But the lack of forthcomingess on the restaurant's part was a bit unprofessional i thought. I ordered 4 rolls (shrimp tempura, tuna avocado, spicy salmon, spicy tuna) and this is generally what me and my wife get most of the time from all neighboring places. Thought I'd give this place a go, as our preferred place doesn't do the sushi menu on mondays. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon smelled quite fishy and didn't taste right (metallic tasting). Called back to discuss, the lady pushed back informing that they use the fresh tuna and salmon for those rolls so they can't possibly be bad and that no one has ever called back and complained (sure, but could it be that today’s was a bad batch) and then she hung up. I rarely call back to do this but today we had an unresolved discussion with the restaurant. Not likely to order again.
Fantastic panasian restaurant. Food is well presented, everything tastes amazing, and the staff are efficient and friendly. Kudos to lots of vegan options too!
👎
We like the Chinese menu, thanks for a wonderful meal once again.
Good food and services and lots of parking spots.
Great place.
Very good Chinese food. Have lunch here weekly. S&S chicken is my go to.
Amazing. Hidden gem
Nice and quiet, staff is very friendly. The food is amazing, id recommend the onion soup
Decent Tai
Do not order chicken pad Thai... no flavor.
Quiet, good food selections very good sushi.
Nothing spectacular but honest food
I only came here due to the covid 19 quarantine and this was the only sushi place open at the time. Horrible overpriced sushi, rolls were about a quarter in diameter and the fish was not fresh at all. Threw it away. Save your money if you are thinking of getting sushi from here.
Waited over an hour and food was still not ready. Next visit; food was raw and order was wrong. Don’t come here
The sushi is amazing. I highly recommend the Stacy Roll with a large Hot Sake. They have a peach flavored cold sake that is dangerously delicious. You absolutely MUST try it.
This is the worse Thai food i never have in my life . People who like Thai food please don't go to this place horrible Thai food taste. It's not fusion Asian is just a regular chinese place.
Food was great. Slow service.
Wonderful place! Staff were so considerate and the food was delicious! The option for traditional floor seating as well as tables was such a great experience to have. Looking forward to my next visit!
The restaurant itself has changed a ton since it is now under new management. Does not feel as nice as it used to. That being said the food is extremely good whether you are ordering the pan asian dishes or the sushi there will not be a disappointment. I would suggest ordering out rather than dining in.
Its closed,now La Fortuna
Food service and atmosphere very good
Best sushi around, period.
Too expensive for what you get.
Very nice place food was good nice clean atmosphere. Only thing was having multiple lunch special menus. Otherwise would go again
The food is amazing. Traveled from Newtown to grab take out. By far the best Chinese food.
Love going here for sushi. The plates come out like a piece of artwork.
Got the gyoza, ultimate roll, and philly roll. Everytjing was amazing! Lived up to the hype i heard about!
Rather basic and they seem disappointed if you don't order alcohol
Fresh sushi and good service, it's a family favorite
Very good food
The staff is always friendly and my family enjoys the food. We have never been disappointed.
Excellent and easy stop for dinner as we drove south from Maine to Virginia. Attentive and friendly service, food came out promptly and decor was lovely.
For several years Dao has been my go to Fusion restaurant. Never ever have I had a bad experience. The menu accommodates any mood you’re in or craving you’re dying for. Staff is STUNNINGLY friendly and competent yet give you the space you want once served. The tempura, red coconut curry and noodle dishes could not be better and though I have a ways to travel to get there, it’s worth ALL the effort. It’s CLEAN and intimate and one of my ALL time favorite dining establishments. Do treat yourself and pay them a visit. You won’t be sorry!
Love this place especially for the sushi, great quality every time!
I go anytime I travel to Stratford. Haven't been disappointment ever.
Food is always great and staff is friendly.
Best tasting sushi I ever had, and I love sushi. Spicy mayo was amazing and sushi tasted very fresh.... absolutely delicious.
Great food nice environment and friendly staff
Delicious
Wasn’t good service I waited there for 1 hour for the food. 👎😡

Really good food, friendly staff as well
Welcome treat
A little pricey, but GORGEOUS inside. Love the bar, love the BOOTHS! (Beautiful, intimate little spaces.) The Winter Delight appetizer is one of the tastiest fish dishes I've ever had. Staff is nice. The desserts are unique and delicious - there are quite a few! We eat there on special occasions and really enjoy it. They also have ramune soda! There's a lot to like at this place.
Serene atmosphere. Great food. Super staff.
Love this place.. food was delicious.. atmosphere great.
So good! I've been quite a few times & am never disappointed!
Great sushi! Entrees and ramen are good as well (the ramen isn't outstanding like the sushi, but still good). Prices not unreasonable.
Awesome sushi
We had a wonderful experience at Dao tonight- great food and very friendly staff. Look forward to going back.
Grub

Good sushi good pricing
Good service. Good food.
I love this place!! And they have the best garlic edamame.

The food is fantastic and the wait staff is very friendly! Definitely a great place to grab a bite or order for take-out.
The best place ever you will not regret going here.
The food and service here is amazing. Highly recommended. It is our new go to spot for sushi, ramen and everything else.
Oh my I found my go to fusion
Really good food great service! Good job guys!
slow service, brought the wrong drink after asking where my drink was multiple times, soup was lukewarm and some sides were forgotten. had to physically get up from booth to find waitress multiple times. terrible experience overall, will not be returning.
Went for a bowl of Spicy Miso Ramen at lunchtime and it didn't disappoint. The broth was tasty, perfect amount of spice, and had a great amount of noodles. Also ordered a spicy tuna hand-roll that was incredible. This is NYC quality ramen + sushi. Will be back soon for sure.
Food: Very Good
Service: Very Good
Atmosphere: Very good
This place looks like nothing from the outside, but houses a warm environment with awesome people and great food.
Dao Fusion and Tengda Asian Bistro & Hibachi are my go to Japanese delivery restaurants. Their food is great, I love their sushi & mochi. However, last night when my family and I ordered some food to break our fast with, me & my relative shared a salmon habichi platter (noodles, veggies, & salmon). We both had terrible stomach pains and diarrhea afterwards, we were fasting so it was the only thing we mainly ate. It was very disappointed, not to mention that the food was overly salty also.
Great staff! Excellent cuisine! Very accommodating!
The most delicious sushi I have ever tasted, and the service was great!
It was amazing, would come again. :D
Pad Thai chicken is the best and the satay chicken with peanut butter sauce is a great appetizer.
Top shelf Asian fusion food. You can tell they go the extra mile by using only the best ingredients. They take pride in the food, and it shows. My favorite Asian food I have found in CT. You won't be disappointed!
The food is delicious and fresh, the service staff is very polite and quite timely. The ambiance inside the restaurant is perfect, it's as cozy and intimate as it is elegant, and most importantly, clean! Always a great experience at Dao Fusion, I would recommend them for sure.
Delicious pad tai. Fast, friendly service. Lunch is a great deal.
Great food and service. Creative fusion menu.
The Pad Thai was solid
