About this business
For a change of pace, try Dao Thai Restaurant and Noodle Place. It seems that most of the restaurants along and off Michigan Avenue are either Italian, American, themed or a little of each. Veer onto Ontario Street and check out this Thai spot that serves all the traditional favorites and retains the traditional platform, or below level, seating, as well. For a restaurant in this area, the prices are quite reasonable.

DO NOT GO HERE PLEASE! I had an awful experience tonight. I found a metal STAPLE inside my PAD KEE MAO. When I told the waiter about this he became very nervous and said "um what should I do? what can I do?". As a physician myself, I have seen esophageal partial tears secondary to swallowing such things. I had to tell him to take away my plate and he said they would make another one for carryout as my friend was almost done with her dish. THEN, the waitress comes to our table and charges me for a dish instead of apologizing ... read more
Great food, quiet spot – We were in town Nov 21-23, 2008, due to the Christmas lighting ceremony/parade it was packed downtown. After a cold morning of fighting the crowds on Michigan Ave this restaurant was the perfe3ct resting place. The food was very good! The vietnamese spring roll was excellent with a terrific mix of flavors. The shrimp Tom Yum soup was a surprise. The light citrusy broth was perfect. My wife enjoyed her cashew chicken. The service was spot on and we enjoyed all the authentic decorations. Highly recomme... read more
Always wanting more! – I knew nothing of this place until my boyfriend recommended it one day. He works downtown and I come down to have lunch with him, so needless to say it needs to be close and fast. Well Dao is both of these, and to boot, delicious! We usually get the chicken fried rice, and have yet to be disappointed. The service is quick and friendly. We are in and out in about 45mins. Im always wanting to go back and can't recommend them enough!!
Great for price – This place is fantastic. My favorite downtown food for cheap. Sometimes dine-in service takes 30-40 minutes, but I always get my take out in less than 15 minutes. The Almond Beef and Panang Curry Beef are my favorites. I eat a lot of Thai, and this is my favorite $10 and under place I ever been to. I can't recommend this enough!
Sadly, no. – I wish we had read the reviews before we ordered. Last week we had a craving for spring rolls and pad thai, we chose Dao for delivery. We were dismayed before we even put the food on our plate. The delivery took an hour and a half and we live in the same block. The spring rolls were a mush of what tasted like bean sprouts and wet tortilla. Our Penang Curry had chicken, no vegetables, and seemed to have more oil than peanut curry sauce. Very unappetizing. Always wary of new places, we had ordered fried rice, just... read more
Horrible Experience – We went to this restaurant on Saturday night hoping for some good Pad Thai, after having a horrible experience at the Star of Siam (not too far from Dao). In short, it was the worst experience we have ever had in a Thai Restaurant. We waited for more than 10 minutes after we were seated for someone to take our order. We could not customize our orders, such as asking for Woon Sen noodles in our Pad Thai, not adding cilantro, or putting broth on the side (all of which are very easy things to do). This is ... read more
What a waste of location - worst Thai food in years – I came to this place on a whim. Ordered a Pad Thai, a chicken curry dish, and a tom yum soup to start it off. I ordered it spicy but to take it easy on the bell peppers. They put tons of bell peppers and made everything bland. VERY bland. The Tom Yum soup was diluted and without much flavor. Seemed like the ingredients were just tossed in there and the mushroom, well, tasted too much like mushroom. The pad thai noodles were soggy, and completely broken. I like the noodles... read more
Very disappointed with the food - no flavor, uses canned vegetables - (baby corn, mushrooms, bean sprouts). The pad thai was bland at best. The curry had no kick, and the chicken dishes had dry white meat chicken with little flavor. cute set up and atmosphere, convenient location - but really not worth the money. Yeah the price is not bad but you get what you pay for.
Editorial Review – Inexpensive, freshly made Thai food and raised-platform seating make this restaurant a hit with downtown diners.
