What Danielle M likes about Dao Fu:
Dao Fu offers excellent food and service. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary tofu salad as a starter. The menu allows you to choose your spice level from 1 to 10, with 10 being very hot, so I usually stick to 6 or 7. I recommend trying the drunken noodles or the katsu chicken. The prices are very fair and there are plenty of vegetarian options available. View all feedback. What Jett Okuneva doesn't like about Dao Fu:
The menu at this restaurant is excellent for vegetarians, but they need to be careful when ordering vegan options as some items that one may assume are vegan (such as the fries) are not. View all feedback.
