Alex PopovaAugust 24, 2015Go late at night to avoid crowds! Daikaya can be pretty noisy, so wouldn't recommend as a "catch up and talk spot".
Don't bother going upstairs. The ramen bar downstairs is where it's at.
Robert BrownFebruary 20, 2013Only 40 or so seats. A few days old, so go now before the word gets out!!!!
Shio was really light and refreshing if you are in the mood. Miso was good but salty.
Terence ChanFebruary 1, 2015Pretty decent ramen. Fair price though the pork was pretty thin. Quality was decent. 3.5/5
Max NgMay 26, 2014Ramen itself was pretty good. You can do better than a bad attitude sulking hostess.
Dana WDecember 15, 2013It's frustrating when you need to keep reminding them what you ordered...for multiple items.
Mario BarrajaDecember 8, 2015I think is very unfortunate that something that could potentially be good is eventually so excellent at making the dining experience bad. Fail.

"Dan-dan noodles and soup dumplings are great! Fish filet married chili is also great! All very traditional dishes and not American Chinese food."
