We gave Dao Tien another try when my middle daughter came into town and had a taste for pho. We tried the shrimp rice paper rolls again as well as the grilled chicken rice paper rolls which were so good! My daughter had the shrimp noodle soup and my husband had the lemongrass shrimp stir-fry. I had the grilled chicken rice platter that my other daughter tried last time. That chicken is just too good. Our waitress was very friendly and provided great service. Service was fast and efficient. We will definitely keep this place in rotation! read more

I moved in North County and was looking for something close to eat. I have lived in South St Louis most of my adult life and i LOVE VIETNAMESE food. I was introduced to this place from my son in law he door dashed some items one late night for dinner. The food was phenomenal especially this chicken and rice noodle dish. I wish i could remember the name it was stir friend with vegetables. Well recently I was under the weather and got some Pho to Go. it was amazing. The restaurant was clean and I had good service. I will update my review, i need to really sit down in the restaurant and study the menu and try some other items. But this is my go to restaurant when im at home. read more

Our first time trying Dao Tien Express. I was very happy with my order. I ordered takeout and everything was packed nicely. I liked the container used to pack soup and toppings, everything was separate from the broth. I would eat here again! read more

Have been meaning to try this spot since they opened. I'm so glad I finally stopped in. The decor is cozy and intimate, Ordered the chicken noodle soup and chicken pot stickers (pan fried). Everything was delicious! The soup is light and fresh. There's enough for me to make two or three meals! And because I was doing a take out, I got a brief tutorial from the server on how to put the soup together to heat up at home, which I appreciated. (Double bowl with broth on the bottom and noodles and chicken on top. The jalapeno, lime wedge and fresh basil were in a separate container to add once soup is reheated) . The pot stickers are huge and the dipping sauce is the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely go back! read more

I always wanted to try Vietnamese food . Just sticking my toe in , I wanted to try simple dishes to start me off. Located in a small shopping center next to my nail shop I decided to pop in . Amy was my server and she was very welcoming and friendly. Gave me information on the rewards programs and how to earn points toward discounts. Indoor dining, carry out and online ordering is available and call in option . Clean and clear of clutter. Well lit area. Restroom is basic and clean . I ordered Dao Tein Wings which I thought were spicy but that was just by name . They were overpriced and just ok at $11 . Crab Rangoon were crisp and fluffy. Nothing original! Overpriced as well. $8. Portion size did not fit the price in my opinion. I opted for carry out but tipped anyway due to Amy genuine smile and warm welcome when I entered. I'm gonna play it by ear and see if I will frequent again and try a different dish . To be continued.... read more

My husband and I came here today wanting some pho to warm us up in this freezing weather and, wow, we came to the right place! Everything we had was delicious and quality. The woman waiting on us (I'm assuming the owner) is very proud and passionate about the food and it shows! The shrimp pho was soooo delicious, with just a hint of spice. And plenty of shrimp! We also got potstickers and a chicken ban mi to share. Prices were so reasonable and the food was so so delicious we can't wait to go back. read more

Dao Tien Express - Fried Rice - Combination - Salad Near Me - Florissant, Missouri

The ambience is nice with some somewhat upbeat music playing and really clean table spaces. Special detail is paid to even the arrangement of the sauces, silverware, napkins, etc. in the baskets of the table. Very good attention to detail. The bahn mi dac biet was fantastic with good grilled meat and a nice schmear of pate. The dac biet rice platter was a good combination of meats with a nice ground pork, mushroom, and bean thread noodle loaf in the middle. The beef soup (one of the two choices) that was served with it was also fantastic-- makes me excited to try their pho next time. read more

Food is awesome. We ordered special grilled pork rice plate, it comes with a small bowl of broth, which are all excellent. We also ordered grilled pork spring rolls and wonton noodle soup. They are all very delicious. We've been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants around the country, none has come close to Dao Tien Express. Give them a try. read more

So I am a connoisseur of pho and this is my favorite place in the St. Louis area. The food is always on point, the staff is wonderful and so friendly. I've never had a bad experience 10 out of 10 recommend!!!! read more

From The Pho to the Rice Rolls Even the Potstickers the Food Is AMAZING. Everything Is So Fresh the Owner She Is So Funny and Sweet i LOVE Hot Stuff So She Offers Level 1 - Level 5 and I Get Level 5 Every time. My Wife Showed Me This Place Now We Get Food Every Week and We Will Be There Tonight!!!! I Recommend the Beef and Brisket Pho (I'm Level 5 But You Can Get Level 2 or Level 3 To Start Off) read more

I've been driving by this place daily for over a year now, and after a long (lunchless) work day, I decided to stop in and grab a bite. The only disappointment I had after my visit is that it took me so long to try them out. I went with the curry basil chicken fried rice after a little paralysis by analysis while trying to pick from the fairly vast menu. I've had similar dishes at various places and felt it was a safe first pick. What I quickly found out is that I haven't quite had this dish before at all. Hands down, the most flavorful fried rice variation I've ever had. As a spice enthusiast, I had to be talked down from jumping straight to level 4 heat, and was steered by the owner to go with 2. Turned out to be solid advice, as 2 was perfect in that it packed the heat while not distracting from each delicious bite. The portion was for sure large enough to save some for the next day's lunch, but I can confirm: there were no surviving portions to be found at the scene. The service was excellent, and the owners were the nicest people imaginable. Highly recommended! read more

Had a delicious lunch from here the other day. Pork potstickers, Clay pot chicken, and Curry basil fried rice with beef. The 5 potstickers were jammed full of their pork mixture, And the wrapper was well cooked and tender. I had the Clay pot chicken, which was really good. Basically it's chicken cooked in a clay pot with onions and butter. Simple and really delicious. I was surprised there was a touch of sweetness to it, and really enjoyed that aspect. It was not spicy, but it was "warm". It came with rice, of course, and a small side salad, which I was going to ignore. But when I got a taste of the dressing, which you can't really see, it was sweet and tangy and very nice. Another reviewer talked about her salad being wilted, but if she got it to go, and they put it in the warm rice container, like they did with mine, that's what's going to happen. Also, would she consider a "pasta house" type of salad "limp"? To me, it was the same kind of thing here. My friend had the Curry basil fried rice. It was way too spicy for me, but then I'm a little baby about that. Spice level four, out of five, was ordered, and it was plenty hot, but my friend also got a extra little dish of their spicy chili paste (that they make in house), and he quite enjoyed that. I could see the steam coming out of his ears, ha ha. Everything in the fried rice, I was told, was well distributed, and the beef slices were big and tender. While everything else was good, their lemon cake just about made me swoon, lol. The frosting seemed to be whipped cream based, light and fluffy, and the cake was thick and moist. Good sized piece, too. I would go back there just for the cake. No picture, ummm, because, I smashed it in my face and forgot. All in all, good lunch. I thought it was expensive, but then I think everything is, so you can't go by me. We had takeout, and I was a little disappointed at the Styrofoam packaging, but ordering was easy over the phone (the gal who answered was helpful and courteous). When I picked up my order, it was ready pretty quick, and the place looked bright and clean (maybe 10 tables?). Nice addition to Florissant, thanks! read more

The phó and the bahn mi were middle of the road in my opinion, better than the one I had at Nudo House, perhaps a notch lower than another I've had in town. But the wings in the appetizer menu were hands down some of the best wings I've had, ever. Tender fall of the bone meat, crispy exterior, yummy sweet spicy sauce. Would go again just for those. Interested in trying the clay pot and other dishes. We were the only ones in the restaurant I think, service was good. read more

Off the beaten path when you at one of the airport hotels but well worth the 15, 20 minutes drive. The staff is very attentive and the food is fresh and taste great. Next time I'm in St Louis, I'll definitely make a stop there again read more

I haven't had Vietnamese this good in a very long time. Everything we ordered was excellent - great flavors, the right amount of heat, and a delightful variety. The staff was very helpful making recommendations for our group; we came away satisfied but not stuffed or uncomfortable. While this place is pretty far from us - we're way down in South County - we'll happily return. read more

The chicken had zero seasoning. The bahn mi was solid, but the noodles were pretty mid.

The food is authentic! My mom is Vietnamese, and we were in town around lunch time. I took her here and she really enjoyed Bun Bo Hue. My niece and I had Bun Thit Nuong. Both really good! We also had the lemon cake and coconut sticky rice for dessert. Cake was so moist, and sticky rice came out warm and delish. We will be back when we're in town next. More things to try!! Service was great, and she seemed to know everyone who came in like they were old friends. Clean bathroom too. read more

Wonderful family owned/operated restaurant. Best Bahn Mi I've had in quite some time. They order their baguettes from a local bakery. Most Bahn Mi I have in STL usually have a tough and unpleasant baguette, but not Dao Tien! My wife and I also ordered Pho, which was tremendous! If you're in the Saint Louis area and you like Vietnamese food, I would highly suggest coming to Dao Tien Express? read more

When I say you get personal touch and love in every meal, I mean it. The owner (Diane I believe) is the sweetest! She sat and talked with my grandma and her friends when they stopped in for dinner and she came home raving about her. She is a kind hearted lady who puts her all into what she is doing. Stop by some time and see for yourself! read more

We go monthly to a place we haven't been to and try food we aren't familiar with. Tonight was Vietnamese. Kinda small place on S. Florissant Rd. I have never in my life had such a waitress. She sat with us and went over the menu items plate by plate, practically noodle by noodle. Made us feel like family. Outstanding. Spectacular. Unparalleled. The food was absolutely delicious. Cooked exactly how I asked. The sauces. Oh man. I wish I could give a higher rating to this wonderful place. Please give it a try and tell her "mamas" table sent you. Highest recommendation I can give. read more

The food here is fantastic. I ordered the egg rolls and pork vermicelli and both were delicious, very friendly service too. Two thumbs up!!!

Everything was semi reheated and by that I mean it was still cold. The salad was old and some of the greens totally macerated. The rice was congealed. The meat was tough and not fresh. It took 30 min to get what we ordered. read more

I have to give them 4 stars due to the quantity of food but the quality was 5 stars! I will definitely go back again. Suggest to try for yourself. read more

For Pho, stop by this eatery. My kids loved their wings, and the Pho was amazing. I try to stay away from sweets, but the cake was amazing. My kids devoured the wings, and the Pho was delicious. I've discovered a new eatery and the customer service was AMAZING! read more

Been coming here for years as a family and it's the best Asian food especially Vietnamese in the entire city maybe the State.
