What kitchens say
Two Bay Area kitchens, in their words.
Since we opened with Dao, the quality has never slipped. When you're doing the volume we do, that consistency is everything.
Before Dao we were dealing with four different suppliers just to get through a week. Now it's one invoice, one truck. Jasmine rice, fish sauce, curry paste, coconut milk, all of it.

What rice brands do you carry?

What makes Chaao rice different?
Chaao is Dao's own mill-direct label, milled through the family's operation in Thailand, so the rice is fresh and the pricing is hard to beat. If Chaao is not the right grain for your kitchen, Dao carries other options to dial in the fragrance and texture you want.
When does new-crop jasmine rice arrive?
New-crop jasmine generally arrives around October through December, varying year to year with the harvest. New-crop rice holds more moisture and cooks softer and more fragrant, and we can point you to the right lot for how you cook.
