Fresh hand rolls, maki, and seafood, plus drinks
"You sit at a wooden counter at this stall at the Dekalb Market Hall in Downtown Brooklyn, and this spot isn't trying to be "inventive,” which we find kind of refreshing. The focus at Daigo is on quality fish, good rice, and crispy nori. Unlike some other handroll spots, you order à la carte here rather than commit to a full omakase situation. You can also get everything on the menu as a rice cup—but rolls are really the move here. Eat them quickly, so the nori doesn’t get soggy." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah

"Of the stalls that are outposts of well-known, bigger operations, Daigo is closest to the original. It’s also pretty luxe for a food hall—maki and hand rolls with yuzu kosho and shiso are made to order, and the scallop sashimi is a rather elegant appetizer to eat at a picnic table. The prices match. A light lunch of two rolls will run you anywhere from $16-$24. That might be why there’s never a rush despite how good it is." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore

"This stall in DeKalb Market Hall isn't trying to be "inventive" or creative, and we find that kind of refreshing. The focus at Daigo is on sourcing the best quality fish, making some really good rice, and putting it in crispy nori.
