Dao's spacious dining room has Thai platform-style seating, requiring many diners to hop into a recessed hollow around each table. Once there you'll peruse a huge menu offering large portions of traditional Thai cuisine at comfortable prices. Beef and chicken curries, shrimp and chicken dishes, soups, noodle bowls and salads are all offered. Want something a little more adventurous? Ask your server to recommend a favorite dish.
