What kitchens say
Two Bay Area kitchens, in their words.
Good rice makes or breaks the plate. Dao's stuff is clean, the texture is right every time, and it shows up when they say it will.
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.
