Dao Artisan Noodle

Cute place. You can sit at the bar and watch them make dumplings and noodles. That's have the big beef rib which is so popular nowadays. Noodles are great. We looked the XLBs too. The cucumber salad was very good. It's pretty unique because it has a nutty taste. Either peanut or sesame paste? It was almost full at lunchtime on a weekday.

Arrived here at 10:15 p.m. after swimming with my young adult at the 24 Hour fitness nearby. We were hoping to find an open pho shop but instead got super lucky and discovered Dao's tonight. Yum! To the braised beef soup. Yum! To the pork soup. Yum! To the lychee shrimp balls. And double YUM! to the purple dumplings with shrimp and truffles. Oh man! We packed up 50% of each of our soups and half of the dumplings before we started eating to make sure to share the flavors with Dad at home tomorrow. The young man working tonight provided stellar service, like scissors when he saw me moving the crazy long, fresh DELICIOUS noodles into the plastic soup container... just great. We WILL be back. There's yummy things on the menu I can't wait to try. If you like trying NEW things, come here.

Review as of May 2026. If you are craving authentic Asian food, try this place. Different noodle thickness and texture options. The noodle soups can be a little bit more flavorful, was a bit bland. But overall the food was good. The dim sum is great, amazing and splash of flavor when you bite into each dumpling Service can get a bit bad when they’re busy. Took 20 minutes for us to get noticed, but understandable with the amount of people there are during lunch.

Comfortable atmosphere. Delicious Xiao Long Bao :) . Dan Dan noodles were so fresh. Cucumber salad was also yummy and refreshing, had a hint of mayo dressing. Must have Dubai chocolate Xiao Long Bao !!! Better and tastier than Din Tai Fung :) . The service was exceptional. You feel right at home.

Got the Beef Rib Noodle Soup, the beef rib could’ve been softer but it was filling and was a big piece. The noodles though was the star of the show as it was handmade and very well made. It was very elastic and very flavorful. There was other type of noodles that seemed to be pretty good but i got the regular which was probably the best noodles i got in a while. It was also very filling and they were all very long connected noodles. Also service was fine, whoever complained about service clearly never ate at a proper asian restaurant
