Always consistently good food! Recommend House Noodle Soup and Mongolian Beef with Shrimp. A hidden gem in Sonoran Foothills area.

Seriously the worst food I ever had. Used DoorDash to buy food from this place. I've never had such gross Chinese food in my life. I had to order pizza instead and throw everything away. Just awful. read more

Always good food and quick service from a take-out perspective. I would love if they delivered and that would earn an extra star. Only down side is they are a little pricey, but having only one other competitor in the area it's to be expected. read more

Phenomenal food and service! One of my favorite destinations on a night out. I highly recommend the fried rice and orange chicken. I feel like I'm at home here. read more

I've always wanted to try this place but I always just drive by it on the way home. Finally, I decided to try it and I have probably made the best decision doing so. The staff here are nice and when I came through the door I was greeted and seated. I ordered takeout orange chicken with rice. The food was made to order and delicious. Food tastes authentic and comes in great portions. Definitely will be coming back soon. read more

Chinese food is definitely individual specific. While I loved the people and the place... had a glass of wine while awaiting my order, I was not really impressed with the food. The General Tso Chicken was not very crispy or have much spice. The Sweet & Sour Chicken was over-cooked and tough. The Lo Mein noodles were thick and too soft. The crab puffs were pretty greasy and the pastry was a bit tough. The Egg Drop soup was pretty runny also. I felt it was very expensive and in need of a better chef. The people at the front made it a very pleasant experience. read more

Awesome orange chicken and Kung Pao! I ordered the Dao Twin Flavor Chicken and would highly recommend it! Service is excellent and clean comfortable environment! Open on Sundays is also a plus. Don't hesitate give it a try. read more

My family and I normally go to Dao Kitchen #1 and love it there! We would drive 45 minutes just to eat there and now I'm 35 weeks pregnant and was craving it but didn't want to drive so we met up with our friends, my husband and daughter here as it's so closer. We got our drinks and waited about 20 minutes to be asked what we'd like and we had to ask for the fried chips and got them right when our food came out. I ordered the beef and broccoli and my husband the sesame chicken and we would share them together with our daughter. Our friend got the curry chicken. My beef was bloody and cold and I obviously can't eat that being pregnant. My husband asked for them to re make it and for it to be to go. My friends chicken was chewy and odd tasting so she requested that be taken off her order and she will pay for her rice only. They re made mine and hers within 5 minutes so you automatically know they aren't fresh at all. She again said she didn't want hers. Everyone in the restaurant heard the chef YELLING that we don't want the food and it was so humiliating! He then came out stared at us and shook his head at us. It's not our fault he gave us raw food and old tasting chicken! My husband got so upset and I took our daughter outside and he told them to take the to go beef and broccoli back and he's not paying for any food. He said the lady was so mad throwing her hands in the air. He gave her a 20 bill for the drinks and told her to give the rest for our waitress. We will never go back there it really ruined our thoughts about their restaurant and we won't be going back. Very poor service and not professional at all. read more

Service was really fast, was in and out in about 10 mins. Gave me chips to snack on while i waited for my take out lunch. Got the orange chicken lunch combo, was awesome, some of the best orange chicken I have had! Overall an awesome experience, will definitely return. read more

Orange chicken is delicious! Seriously... Get the orange chicken. I have tried other things on the menu and have never been disappointed. The staff are really friendly which is a nice change compared to other places in the anthem/north phoenix area. If your looking for good take out this is the best place around. read more

This place is really underrated. If you get there before 4pm you can get the lunch portion... It's a lot of food! The banana treats they give you after your meal are delish! read more

Decent food but rude service. I called in an order of sweet and sour chicken with sauce on side and no veggies. I told the girl on the phone "just chicken nothing else". My wife went to pick up the order and there is chicken and pineapple in the container. Now the chicken is soggy. She tells the lady we just wanted chicken with nothing else. The lady told my wife "If you dont like it then dont come back!" Seriously?! Nice customer service. We wont be back. read more

We had high hopes. But it's just as bad as The place it replace. Is it the same cook and owners with just a new name? We ordered 4 meals. 2 Familystyle Tofu..which was a horrible spices sauce over Tofu. A green bean with black bean sauce, that was mushy and bland. And something they think is Gen Tso's chicken that was beyond bad. Some fried strips of chicken in a bitter sauce and a few peppers. Probably that same sauce used on the Tofu. BTW the fried rice was nothing more than rice and bits of egg clumped with soy sauce, really bad. They might want to travel to a few other Chinese restaurants to see how it's done. For the price I could have gone to PeiWei and at least gotten something worth eating. Not that PeiWei is Chinese , but it is at least edible. read more

As a fellow Asian American. I always would have to go to the east side to get great authentic Chinese food. Many individuals will probably go for the orange chicken and kung pao chicken. I have to tell you that the duck here is one of the best that i have ever had. The meat is tender and it is not all greasy and oily. I have also had a the green beans and beef. The green beans were still fresh tasting and the beef is very tender. We also had the napa tofu which is a vegetarian dish that is very tasty. At first I was going to give them 4 stars, but the more that I eat there the more I love this place. Take it from a traditional Asian couple this place is well worth the try, read more

Awesome food and really good service! Average prices but the portions are HUGE! Will definitely be going there again!

My husband and I pick up our dinner from here once every 1-2 months. The orange chicken is phenomenal! We also like their House Lo Mein, Egg Drop Soup, crab puffs and they have great lunch combos at awesome prices! The portions are large and we always have leftovers! read more

Dao Kitchen to the rescue! Our take out the other night was delicious! We enjoyed Sesame Chicken (crispy coating, moist chicken) and Snow Peas Beef (new to us - tender meat, lots of crispy snow peas, carrots and onions). To start the meal, Wor Won Ton Soup & Vegetable Eggrolls. Both were satisfying. So glad to have you in our neighborhood! Oh, and regarding the statement at the start of the review about "to the rescue" - our old haunt in Anthem is just not the same. Although we'd like to support both business establishments, you have won us over with your food, hospitality and price! Thanks Dao Kitchen! read more

Dao is surprisingly good for quality Chinese food. My family and I are very happy to find this gem in an area with few good restaurants. The inside decor isn't special but trust me, the food is excellent and the prices and great. Lunch specials are especially great for tasty food at reasonable price. They have these fried honey banana caramelized bites that my wife loves and my kids can't get enough of the orange chicken or orange beef. My favorite is Kung Pao but honestly I need to try more of the menu, I am in a Kung Pao rut now since it's so good--fresh veggies and light chicken, not too heavy. Egg rolls and cream cheese wontons are a bit better than expected. See you there--we're there 2-3 times per week either in a side booth or taking out. Dao will make you ask Panda Who??! read more

Had the Mongolian beef lunch special - was probably the best Mongolian beef I've had in PHX. It's tough to find good Chinese food in PHX but based on my meal, this place is awesome. read more

This is my favorite spot to come to, their food is amazing! I'd highly recommend the orange chicken and chicken lo mein!!! You will not be disappointed!!! I'd also like to add that the staff is so sweet!!! Please trust me when I say it's a must try!!! read more

Completely overpriced for bland dishes. Dishonest managers and very rude. Pricing on menus and online differ from what they actually charge you. My items were each $1 higher on my take out bill than what I saw in my menu and online. Manager did nothing to resolve when I called unhappy. Never ever again. Don't go here. read more

I ate inside the restaurant once and ordered take out many times. Each time the food is fresh and tasty. I recommend Beef Chow Fun, it's really yummy (if you like noodles)! read more

We've been driving past this place for years, finally tried it tonight. Food was great, service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. Will definitely be back! read more

The food is fantastic and the service was even better. This is my second visit to the restaurant, both times getting the Kung Pao Chicken and the Pork Lo Mein. First visit was take out, the order was perfect. Second time was dine in and we were not disappointed. The Chicken Egg Rolls were excellent and the Crab Puffs are wonderful. read more

Came once before and thought it was OK. To be fair tried again today with my daughter. Should have stuck with my first impression Still just OK. read more

If you're a big eater like myself, dao kitchen is the place for you, easily the best Asian/Chinese food around the valley, great prices and great amount of food, my personal favorite is the orange chicken, and if you're into spice you can choose the level of heat to your chicken. The service and customer friendliness just tops it all off, great service and great people, would strongly recommend to anyone read more

I recently moved here from the east coast and, because this restaurant happened to be next door to Orange Julius/Dairy Queen, I decided to give it a try. I was shocked at how plentiful and delicious the food was. Their walnut shrimp dish is the best Asian dish I have ever tasted!! Everything there is delicious and the service is also really good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

Amazing food, price is even more amazing! It is fancy enough for a date night, but cheap enough to bring your whole extended family! I recommend the orange beef! Amazing! read more

After reading the reviews, I was expecting more. We order hot and sour soup, it was warm at best. My daughter ordered a thai ice tea - it was a cup full of ice with tea poured over it. Then we ordered the beef chow fun with no onions. Got chow fun with white and green onions. Maybe I'll try again for lunch, but dinner was a disappointment. read more

Ordered pork lo mein , I got spaghetti! !!!, it was hands down the worst I have ever had.

I have been here several times over the last few years and though we used to like this place, it seems to have lost something along the way. The orange chicken has always been good, very flavorful and crispy. My last visit here was in August. The fried rice was really dry and had no flavor, and the soup tasted like it came out of a can, very bland. I don't feel like the prices reflect the quality of food here. I have no complaints about the service. As far as ambiance, there was no music playing and it was strangely quiet for a restaurant...meaning there were also very few customers besides us which is also not a good sign. I prefer to eat at a restaurant that is at least half full of customers. The dining room was also uncomfortably warm, either the ac wasn't working or it was turned up to save money. It wasn't a pleasant experience and Im thinking I probably won't go back anymore. read more

The food here is decent for Chinese food. It's not horrible but it's not great. We have eaten here multiple times over the last year and the service just gets worse and worse. Last time we were here, the put the wrong food on people's tables and then took it back and have it to the other table. This is a health code violation. Once the food has been placed, it isn't suppose to be removed. Today, my spring roll was still ice cold on the inside so we let them know and they replaced it. Then, the orange chicken was room temperature. I'm not sure how they reheated it. This is the last time we will be coming here. read more

Two of us were there yesterday at lunchtime. There were only a few people having lunch. Service was ok, but the server spoke almost no English. Asked for hot and spicy soup and were giving egg drop soup. When I brought it to his attention, he in very limited English said it was hot and spicy soup. I just left it at that. Meal was very bland - a vegetable dish that that tasted like dishwater. Our table had crumbs on it and so did the floor, which was in need of a major vacuum job. I will never go back. read more

I don't understand how this place isn't busy all the time. The food is soooo fresh and Delish. It's even better after a good workout at the gym in the same parking lot. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Great food and service, this is my favorite spot to stop for take out on my way home.

Tried this place on a whim & boy i wished we had tried this place sooner. Quality of food was better than most places. Up here in North Phx there isn't many food of this type/quality. Agreed with some of the reviewer about Orange Chicken. It was the best! Seafood Bird Nest was delicious. In fact. Pei Wei, PF Chang will lose my patron. read more

The current owners are not the original owners (they sucked). The people running the place now are great! The food is wonderful - my husband and I are addicted to their War Won Ton soup and everything else we've tried has been great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Really good food won't be disappointed. Wish was more spicy orange chicken is best not too much batter. Ate here tonight and was terrible the Terri chicken was so salty we threw it out. Called and complained read more

The food and service is good but it's a little pricey. They do give large portions which is nice.

Best Chinese food in phx. Great staff and food. I don't know what is up with Yelp the good places have mediocre reviews and the trash have great reviews. read more
