花心餐厅

I went to Dasha with the intention of trying their Summerlicious during dinner service.

To start off, it was relatively difficult to find the restaurant. There were small signs places in three different locations for which two of the signs were on a pole or wall and did not point to anywhere. The takeout sign was knocked over.

FOOD

Appetizer:
Spicy Shrimp Bao and Steak Carpaccio

I personally enjoyed the flavours of both the appetizers but I just wish there was like 2 more pieces of the Steak Carpaccio and at least one more Bao. That way it would’ve felt worth it. Presentation was nice and simple.

Main Dish:
Wagyu Short Rib

The portion size for this dish was decent, and I loved the Wagyu. It was subtly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My boyfriend said it didn’t stand out to him, but I arguably enjoyed it. So this could be a hit or miss for some.

Dessert:
Maple Pecan Cheesecake and Dark Chocolate Pate

The portion of the dessert in ratio to their level of sweetness was actually perfect for me. I liked the presentation, it was cute and I felt full by the end of it. I don’t particularly have a strong sweet tooth so the opinion of some may differ. Maple Pecan Cheesecake was not a typical dense cake texture. Imagine it having a strong likeness to a dense cream/mousse. Same texture mirrored in the Chocolate Pate, however, it was incased in a bowl-like shell of dark chocolate.

SERVICE

The staff were friendly and it looked like everyone was quite efficient with their duties. Our waiter was very kind but I forgot to ask for their name. For recognition I would describe them as a tall male with blonde / dirty blonde hair? They were personable and had good recommendations. The drinks that we enjoyed from their recommendation were:

• Star of Earth (the one with dry ice)
• Red Dragon (in the lengthy glass)

The team was able to charge my phone when it was dying so that was greatly appreciated.

ATMOSPHERE

The atmosphere was dim and dark but it set the mood. It was very cozy with beautiful interior design. Colour palette were red, green, black, brown. The glassware and chopsticks design contributed to the overall atmosphere of the space. The bar is beautiful and the top is surrounded with red LED lights. I would come back here for date nights or business-casual meetings.

SUMMARY

Food was okay-good. I wish the portions were a bit larger to match the price points. Service was kind and the atmosphere was giving baddie. It would be a great chill spot. I didn’t give it a 4 star because of the portion of the food and its originality.
