This place is hands down the best Chinese Food in the Bay Area and the best Chinese Food I've ever eaten! This was my second time dining at Don Hao. I took the family and my parents out for lunch. My first experience eating here was back in February. I kept raving to people and to my parents about how good this place is. The food quality and ingredients are next level! They use Kobe Wagyu for all of their beef dishes and they use Mary's Organic Chicken for all of their chicken dishes. Now what Chinese Restaurant does that?!? None, except for Don Hao! We ordered the Pork Dumplings which were delicious and cooked perfectly. The exterior had a nice texture and the pork filling was so tender and melted in your mouth. The dipping sauce has the right amount of heat and tastes really good. We also started off with the vegetable spring rolls which were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The sweet and sour pork was really good. The orange chicken and general's tso chicken was so tasty and the all white breast meat chicken and perfectly cooked batter on the outside makes it the best combo ever! The sauce tasted great. The Mongolian beef and broccoli beef tasted so good as well. The kobe beef in both dishes was cooked perfectly and so tender. Both beef dishes are packed with an insane amount of flavor. The Mongolian beef is a tad bit spicy but still great. It'll burn your lips for sure though. I'm not a huge fan of spicy food but Don Hao's Mongolian beef is the best I've ever tasted and worth eating. It's a must try. The chow mein was cooked perfectly and tasted so fresh. It has a ton of assorted healthy, fresh vegetables with the best tasting noodles. The vegetable fried rice was light and paired perfectly with all the beef, chicken and the pork dish. Eating it together brought some really good intense flavors out. The service was nothing but perfect. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to details. I like the vibe at Don Hao. The design of the restaurant looks cool and the lighting/set up inside of the restaurant is nice. I highly recommend eating at Don Hao. It's some of the best food I've eaten all year. Danville is centrally located and the restaurant is very easy to get to and find. The location of the restaurant is prefect because there's tons of parking and it's surrounded by other places and businesses/restaurants. Overall, it's a great restaurant to dine at.

Donhao is the best restaurant in Danville and undoubtedly has the best Chinese food in the bay area!!! the food is flavorful and perfectly-cooked, and every item on the menu is creative and unique in some way. my favorites so far are probably the orange chicken and walnut shrimp but i need to try more dishes! the ingredients all taste high-quality and fresh and so the dishes do not leave me feeling heavy afterward. also the drinks and desserts are so fantastic. and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming with beautiful decor. Amazing restaurant highly recommend would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ten stars out of five if i could!!!

Improved review: The restaurant is beautifully designed and well-equipped. We were lucky enough to dine on their second day of opening and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, and the food was expertly balanced. We particularly loved the dumplings, freshly made in-house, and each appetizer was accompanied by a unique sauce. The generous portion of fried rice was easily shared among three people.

Go here! The fooooood is great! This place has been a few different restaurants, but I hope this one sticks. We had the general tso chicken, chicken chow mein, veggie fried rice and the glazed sole with pine nuts... divine! Everything on the menu looked great. We will be back!

The food has an incredible flavor profile. Everything is fresh and loaded with flavor. The service is also wonderful. DONHAO is by far one of my favorite places to eat in Danville.

I had the prawn and beef dishes for lunch, and both were delicious. The restaurant’s ambience was great, but the wait time was a bit long—it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive.

Top quality ingredients, well prepared. The flavors could be a little bolder, though. The duck was pretty good, though I would have liked a larger portion.

Try our local town’s newly opened restaurant. This place is definitely better than the previous restaurant here. Both their food and service were great.

Omg so excited I found this place! Super cute vibe and the food is delicious and fresh, but the best part is how great they were dealing with my gluten allergy! Usually that's really tricky but our server was attentive and knowledgeable. They were able to switch to gluten free soy sauce on several dishes and fry the fish with cornstarch so I could have it :) loved it and will definitely be back

the food is always good the restaurant is very nice. the manager is the rudest man ever. we've decided to never go back because of him. he gave us the rudest reception ever then started to lecture us. we just don't need grief when we sit down to enjoy good food.

What a very nice surprise! I was so happy to find a really good restaurant in my home town! Chinese food that you actually know what you're eating and high quality food without the high price. Ordered the dumplings, honey prawns, general tso chicken, orange chicken, wagyu black pepper beef, mango pudding, lemon drop to drink! All so very delicious! Staff is friendly and experienced fast service! Nice warm environment feeling comfortable but with class! This is my third time coming in one month. Look forward to going back and trying other dishes!

Duck lovers: Don't order the duck here. My wyf and I came here looking for a great go-to Chinese restaurant in the area. When we try a new restaurant, we have some standard items to try to judge against other items. For a Chinese restaurant, that has to be the egg rolls, fried rice, a common standard dish, then a chef specialty if they have one. The egg rolls were just OK. Somewhat small. Not hearty or flavorful. Our standard is a fat egg roll stuffed with fresh veggies and perhaps a protein. This fell short. The fried rice was OK. Kind of like fluffy rice with some veggies. Tasty but I didn't get any seared flavor one would expect from being tossed around a hot wok. For our common standard dish, we had the beef and broccoli. This was probably the best dish of the evening, a solid 4 out of 5 stars. For our chef specialty, the wife ordered the duck as she loves duck and ordered it many times over the years at various restaurants. The duck skin was great. The meat was delicious but on the greasy side. In my wife's words: "It was Bones, Bones, Bones! I had trouble getting enough usable meat to make it a meal." Being a specialty and one of the more expensive item on the menu, we were very disappointed. On the positive side, the wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was very nice. But we just don't see a reason to come back here. Other Danville Chinese restaurants beckon!

Perhaps one of the best restaurants in the area. An elevated American Chinese restaurant that serves really delicious food. The food is not overly greasy or unhealthy and tastes fresh and is delicious. Super dog friendly as well with lots of outside dining and heat lamps. Located in a beautiful plaza and great to walk around afterwards with lots of dessert options nearby. Good service as well. Try the Mom's dumplings - absolutely delicious if you're a fan of dough!

No complaints! First time trying this restaurant today for lunch. Ordered a bunch of different entrees and all the food came out hot and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. My favorite was the Mongolian beef.

Really not bad for an Asian restaurant in Danville. Just expected a higher end feel and higher end prices. We had it family style to compare a lot of dishes. The portions could be bigger for the price you pay. The egg fried rice was whatevs, Mary's chicken was tender, wagyu tofu was fantastic. That was the best dish there. Honestly it was just a cool place try out. The inside was nice and modern. It felt like an elevated dining experience.

On this rainy evening, we decided to try Donhao Modern Cuisine. We ordered spicy wontons, mom's pan-fried dumplings, wagyu beef with broccoli, a combination chow mein, jasmine white rice, and brown sugar panna cotta. We were pleasantly surprised by every dish containing animal protein. The meat was tender and succulent, a remarkable feat because it is easy to overcook the meat, which would have made it harder to chew and less enjoyable. The service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Ample parking on this night.

This restaurant is very cute. It's in a shopping village in Danville. Our waiter was very attentive. We enjoyed the spicy dumplings and the mushrooms and Bok Choy. I liked the eggplant with fried tofu. The Chow Mein was pretty good. The Honey Walnut Prawns were good, but the plate was half empty. Perhaps they need to present this dish on a smaller plate. It is obvious that they use very fresh ingredients.

The food here was pretty good. I guess it's modern Chinese food. A little different. The Hot & Sour Soup was really good. The least dish was probable the tofu beef. It lacked flavor. But the other dishes were good. Service was okay but I think the restaurant was short handed, so the waiter wasn't as attentive. The restaurant was nice.

Donhao is a modern-looking Chinese restaurant replacing the previous, upscale Japanese place Kaori in the Danville Livery. I took my wife here for a lunch date and of course, she's extremely picky when it comes to Chinese food. Chinese food can surprisingly be cheap yet delicious, and some of our best meals are from hole-in-wall establishments or places. Her initial skepticism was whether this will be a Panda Express or PF Chang with inflated prices for the ambiance and location. To justify the prices, Donhao uses Mary's Organic Chicken and American Wagyu as ingredients. Service was a bit slow when we visited - we had to help ourselves to the menus. Surprisingly we got our food quickly, while the elderly couple next to us was waiting over 45 minutes! The food is decent. Chili Oil Wontons were excellent - super smooth skins, juicy fillings, and they nailed the oily sauce with a balance of chili pepper spiciness, sweetness, and mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns. (5 stars). The other appetizer we got were the pork baos, like a mini-sandwich, analogous to how Peking Duck is frequently served at banquets. Their lunch specials are in the form of Bento Boxes. I liked my Organic Orange Chicken, although to be frank I can't really distinguish organic from non-organic chicken tastewise. My wife had Beef and Broccoli which was decent. Their side dishes were good, especially the egg-flower soup loaded with scallion flavor. Overall a decent showing, and I can tell they really tried to elevate Chinese food while having pleasant outdoor ambiance. They also have a dessert menu and probably an alcohol menu too.

First time here and happy we tried it! Loved the ambiance! Great service ! TIP: don't compare it to "typical" chinese food. Prepared with high-quality ingredients, no MSG, and you don't leave feeling greasy or puffy from sodium. Appetizers: Dumplings with chili sauce - hubby and I enjoyed them. I was not a fan of the sauce. It wasn't too spicy but it had a flavor I didn't love. I might ask again without or with a different sauce. Egg drop soup: fresh, light, and warming. my tastebuds wanted a little more salt. added a little soy sauce and it was delicious. Honey Walnut Prawns: probably the best I've ever had! The light crispy coating, perfectly cooked prawns, just enough sauce drizzled on. Yum! Wagyu Beef & Broccoli: hubby ordered this and loved it! I tasted the beef and it melted in your mouth, as other reviewers have said. Garlic String Beans: these were awesome too! Cook just right! portions aren't huge. Price is a bit more expensive than a place like panda express, but that is comparing apples to oranges. If you want Chinese food prepared in a lighter, less greasy, healthier with high quality ingredients, highly recommend this place!

The food here is really delicious and you can taste the freshness. However, I took a star off because it didn't live up to the hype in the newspaper article I read on this new restaurant and in some of the Yelp reviews. Yes, the food is done very nicely but it really is a Chinese restaurant geared towards Western tastes and expectations, rather than authentic Chinese. There were no Asians there for dinner either as patrons or even on the staff! That's OK, maybe that will change. The dishes were slightly salty also. On the plus side, it really is a very health conscious place, the food is so fresh with healthy ingredients and the fried items were not greasy at all. The Wagyu beef was so tender and melted in your mouth. Service was great also!

A group of us went to Donhao for lunch and decided to eat family style. We ordered 6 dishes and thought that was going to be too much food for four people. It ended up being just the right amount. The servings were about medium sized. We ordered pan fried dumplings, won ton soup, the fried fish with almonds with a light sauce with a slight hint of heat, beef with string beans, chow mein and orange chicken. Our favorite was the won ton soup which was very flavorful and refreshing, the fish had a excellent crunch, light, flakey and not doused in sauce, dumpling were pan fried perfectly with that nice brown, chow mein had great noodles, not too fat and had a very fresh flavor, beef was okay, unique flavor and the orange chicken was very healthy with a fluffy coating. The service was quick and good. They checked on us and kept our water full. We will definitely go back and bring friends too. For very fresh ingredients and flavors, stop by Donhao and treat yourself. I'm looking forward to trying the walnut prawns next time.

The food and service inside was wonderful. Our server, Rex, was an absolute gem. He was friendly, attentive, polite, and constantly checked in to see if we were enjoying or needed anything. Rex actually saved the whole experience because it started off on a sour note because of the host at the podium at the front of the restaurant. The food was delicious as usual, although I will say that they are not consistent with portioning. We get a different amount of proteins every time we go and when I see pictures other people have posted. We got much less protein (wagyu beef and shrimp) than we have gotten in the past. The one thing I want to address is the treatment by the gentleman at the host podium. I don't know it was a lack of training, him being ageist because we are younger, or just outright racism. We were there at 4:50pm before they opened at 5:00pm. We stood politely in front of the podium (but not right next to it), and waited for it to turn 5pm because we didn't want to bother anyone before they actually open. He ignored us, but when a group of 4 of much older looking people came much later than us, he addressed them immediately and asked them if they had a reservation. They said they did at 5pm. He said they open in a couple minutes. I finally just had to speak and say we have a reservation at 5pm as well even though we had been standing there the whole time. Who did he seat first? Of course, the older white group of 4. Again, I don't know if it's because he assumed they'll tip better, or that they were white, or that they're a bigger party than our party of 2, or that they were much older than us, but it is definitely a lack of manners. I do have to comment, our little party of two ordered much more than that party of four (we ordered 7 entree dishes dine in and then 6 additional entree dishes for a to-go order) and we tipped almost 25%. The host shouldn't treat people differently based on appearance or the amount of people in the group.

Came here with my family for dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived late for our reservation and they still allowed us to come. We ordered the chicken salad, garlic green beans, orange chicken, kung pao chicken and chow mein. It was all delicious! The restaurant is cute inside and seems pretty clean. Service was great too. And my kids ate well so a win for us! Overall, I would recommend and come back!

first time here. place is just ok but will say not really representing chinese style nor having chinese decorations. staffs are nice and attentive. for foods: 1. classic egg fried rice: i will say the taste is bland or tasteless. not sure whether supposed to be like that or just forget to put some spices??? 2. garlic string beans: top notch!!! must try and very recommended!!! i order two portions due to crunchiness and taste. feels so fresh and seriously, yummy!!! 3. spicy shrimp salad: another top notch!!! they just give three but the sauce is so excellent and perfect combination with the shrimp prices are wise and will come again next time. really expect their ducks menu for the next coming and hope still can satisfy my cravings...

The food at Donhao is just okay. Considering the price, we were hoping for tastier and more interesting dishes. Overall, not worth the price. We ordered the Black Bean Chicken, the Pan Seared Dumplings, and the Fried Rice. The chicken was relatively tasty, but half of the dish was onions and bell pepper. There wasn't enough chicken. The fried rice was fine, but nothing special. And the Pan Seared Dumplings had a thick wrapper and not a ton of flavor. For the prices we paid, we were disappointed and expected better!

Attentive waitstaff and healthy Chinese food just like the reviews espouse. No brown rice available. "Spicy" wontons are flavored lightly with peppercorn but hardly spicy at all. We had the breaded salt and pepper fish which tasted healthy. We also had a chef's special medley of eggplant, green beans, onions and red peppers that was fresh, green beans were crispy, and not oily. The Wagyu Mongolian beef won the approval from my husband and son. The chicken fried rice was light and hardly oily. High vaulted ceiling give the feeling of a huge crowd as conversations are amplified and loud. Probably not the best place to bring our hearing impaired grandpa. Vegetarian options available. Oh and four stars because despite all the healthiness we went there for, it left me craving for the comforting oil saturated MSG laden Americanized fried food from our favorite local Chinese restaurant. :D

We ordered their orange chicken, chili wonton, honey walnut shrimp, egg tofu and waygu beef, and panna cotta dessert. Everything was delicious, but I'd recommend the orange chicken, chili wonton, and egg tofu and wagyu the most. The atmosphere was a nice, modern looking restaurant. Came in on a Friday so it was fairly busy, make sure to reserve in advance. This is a step up from your average Chinese restaurant. Will definitely come back again.

One word: WOW *Finally* Danville has an amazing restaurant that hits all components; innovation, service, quality, taste, value, and atmosphere. Donhao has taken over the former Kaori space. We enjoyed Kaori the few times we went, but always forgot to return. The owners of Kaori have opened Donhao, but now partnering with nearby Aozora's owners. We ordered: - Spicy Wontons (5/5): Highly recommended by our server, we will dream of this dish until we return. Spicy and acidic, flavorful, fresh, perfect. A must order for all future visits. - Vegetable chow mein (4.5/5): Incredibly fresh veggies, great flavor; the meal was so amazing that we had to nit pick to find a flaw and wished that the noodles were cooked just a tad bit more. - Chicken kung pao (5/5): WOW. For their chicken Donhao only use Mary's chicken, and the quality of the meat makes a world of difference... it made me have a "so THIS is what it is supposed to taste like!" moment about kung pao. Like the wonton appetizer, it was acidic with a good kick. Must try. - Milk tea panna cotta (5/5): We never order dessert, but the food was so good so far and the panna cotta was raved over by our server, so we decided to calorie splurge... INSANITY. Yum!! Graham cracker crumbs, kiwi and peaches, with a brown sugar milk tea panna cotta. Need I say more? Few things to note: - the atmosphere remains upscale and sexy; to me, it is the epitome of date night - the high quality of the ingredients, as well as the chef's spin on things, makes this a stand out restaurant. We came on a slow Thursday night, and we could overhear every other table comment MULTIPLE times about how fresh the ingredients are... the veggies are colorful, the beef is wagyu, the the chicken is Mary's- this is not like any other Chinese food in the area. - typically Danville has solid service, but the Donhao crew went above and beyond. Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly but professional, as well as attentive. Our bartender, Randy, made our visit exceptional. He ran us through the menu and offered his opinion, which was all spot on. I was craving a lychee martini and Randy took that idea and ran with it, making me a custom drink- asked me questions about my flavor palette, explained his thought process of what he had in mind, and allowed me to try (and deny) to ensure it was what I wanted. - The most shocking aspect to this restaurant is the value: the price points are the same as the turn and burn Chinese restaurants across the Bay Area. For one appetizer, two mains, a dessert, and two drinks we spent $100. That's ABSURD for what we got. I have already informed my husband that this is now our local date night restaurant!

Our family of 5 wanted to try Donhao after seeing an Instagram ad, but we also noticed that they have taken over the same space that Kaori was in. I'm not sure if it is still the same chef/owner. When trying to make a reservation through OpenTable, there was no party of 5 available but we were able to call and they confirmed that they could fit us 5. As for the interior, it is still very similar to what it was before. Clean, lots of wood, and upscale/modern vibes. There is some outside seating with ceiling heaters. Our server (Zoie) was very attentive! Appetizers - not sure we would get any of them again as they were lacking flavor): Spicy Wontons (2.5/5) - not spicy at all. You could taste a tiny bit of sichuan. I am comparing this to Din Tai Fung. The dumplings itself were a decent size and easy to eat. There could definitely be more taste to the wontons as these were a bit bland. Pan Fried Dumplings (2.5/5) - fried pretty well and had a slight crisp. However, the red sauce it came with was disappointing. It was watery and didn't taste like much. Entrees - much better than the appetizers! Walnut Shrimp (4/5) - very crispy and good sized pieces of shrimp. They were fried well and not dry. There could have been a bit more sauce. I do like how this was not as oily as the walnut shrimp from Koi Palace in Dublin. Classic Egg Fried Rice (3.8/5) - rather plain tasting (could have used a tiny bit more salt). However, it was a good accompaniment to the rest of the dishes we had to mop up any leftover sauce. Garlic String Beans (4/5) - good, salty taste. I wish they would have cut the pointed ends of the string beans off though, as they felt a bit tough to chew and swallow. Not Din Tai Fung status but still tasty! Tofu with Wagyu Beef (4.5/5) - pleasantly surprised with this dish. I thought the wagyu beef could have been slightly softer. The tofu was cooked very well and was slightly crispy on the outside while still being soft on the inside. The brown sauce was tasty! I liked how each piece of tofu had a piece of beef on it - easy to share. Mary's Orange Chicken (4/5) - was a bit surprised with the portion size when it came out. I would have liked it to be bigger. The chicken itself was pretty crispy and it did have a noticeable orange taste. The chicken wasn't dry. There were two desserts that were not on the menu but were served due to the grand opening. Both were not that sweet. The milk tea panna cotta is definitely better than the sponge cake. Not a strong milk tea taste but the crumbles on the side complement the softness of the panna cotta well. A good dessert menu may be nice to see in the future. There is potential at Donhao. The appetizers definitely need some work, but the entrees are good. Portion sizes could be larger for the price you pay (a bit pricey).

Three of us went for dinner last night. Fried rice, dumplings and orange chicken was our order and 5 cocktails. Food was tasty, definitely clean Chinese food without all the saucy stuff. The fried rice has a nice delicate green onion flavor. The dumplings were good but I thought the skin was a little doughy and thick. Orange chicken was really tasty, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. Prices are high. Very noisy inside. We ordered Tito vodka and soda w/ splash of cranberry. $15 for the drink plus $1.50 for Tito and $1.00 for soda. Service was slow and ok... not friendly .... All business.

First time having dinner there and we will give it another go. Food was delicious and was not oily like most Chinese restaurants. Service was good. Ambience was nice and casual but felt way nicer than most Chinese places. Unlike most Chinese restaurants this place was kept clean. Keep up the good work. Price is on the higher side but we felt worth it these days. Get the green beans, Gen Tso Chicken and chow fun. Green Tea was uneventful.

Clean flavors, quality ingredients and refreshingly unusual menu items. Beautifully presented in a well designed modern space . Lovely patio for outdoor dining! The mushroom dishes were fabulous. Best of all not very salty, just flavorful. Excellent service too.

I ate at Donhao a few times. The food was pretty good. Tonight I ordered for take out. Very disappointed. I wonder if it is a different chef to prepare takeout food. I ordered Wagyu beef with broccoli. It is $29. The beef is no way American wagyu beef. Very dry and tough. The broccoli is over cooked. The sweet glaze sole with pine nut is all flour. The salt and pepper prawn is not the same as I ate in the restaurant. It is not salt and pepper. It is more like regular stir fried prawns. The pineapple sweet and sour pork has a few small pieces of pineapple. They should call it sweet and sour pork. I expect high quality food. But tonight, the food is no different from Panda Express.

Wow, the universe was really listening with this one. For months I have been asking my friends and family "where can I find some really good Chinese food"? And boom Donhao delivered. We were celebrating a birthday so we damn near ordered everything on the menu ( we didn't but it felt like it ). The service was super on point thanks to our host/waiter Christian. He was super cool and patient with us. Ambience is cool, there's a little music playing in the background but nothing outrageous. I really like this place. It is a little pricey in comparison to your average Chinese food spot, but it's worth it. Maybe not ALL the time but every now and then. The waygu beef and broccoli, chow mein ( prob one of the better ones I've had in a very long time), salt and pepper fish , veggie spring rolls, salt and pepper prawns just to name a few items. All in all the food doesn't feel greasy or leave you with that heavy feeling after eating. It was fresh and well made. I will definitely be coming back.

This place has the best Chinese food around - I love the orange chicken, broccoli beef, and tofu dish. The downside is the portions are so small! I wish they could put takeout in normal Chinese food takeout containers. It's also very expensive. We spent a hundred dollars and barely fed 3 people that don't eat a lot. I hope they will consider increasing portions size - everything else is great!

This place is amazing. Ok, yes it's expensive for "Chinese food". But this isn't just your average Chinese food. Instead of "the #12 - Broccoli Beef" you are getting a dish. What you are getting is "Wagyu Beef with Broccoli". I don't mind paying for a meal of what I am getting warrants the price. This warrants the price. The fried rice is the absolute fluffiest fried rice I have ever had. Even the fried items like "General Tso's Chicken" isn't your average greasy fried chicken dish. This might not just be the best Chinese food in the area, it might be the best Chinese food I have ever had.

Excellent food and generous portions! Started with potstickers which steamed and then pan fried perfectly. We shared the soup. Best soup ever, not too salty like most places. The Chow mein noodle are made in house and were fantastic. The egg fried rice was so good. What made the meal so enjoyable was having a friendly, attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Julien took the time to explain some items on the menu and to see if we needed anything or just to stop and refill our water. He brought out some special dipping sauces which my husband loved. So often you don't remember the waitperson when you eat out but we already said let's bring our friends and go when Julien is working! Full bar and incredibly nice head bartender. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend!!

The finishings in the restaurant are quality and lend to the feeling of a high-end meal. The food quality was generally good, although the fried rice was lacking in flavor - looking like a large bowl of white rice. Main points that would make me question returning: - Our server was not good. She was friendly but did not check in on us after ordering and made errors. - Our food came out terribly timed & a dish was missing. We received two meats, then those were cleared and we received eggplant & fried rice. The duck, which was highly recommended, never made it to the table. We were completely done with all other food before the server checked in & we said the food hadn't arrived. They either need someone remaining stationed in the kitchen to ensure appropriate meal timing, or the server needs to play this role. It was a major miss. 3. The server didn't ask about dessert after the missing entree blunder - she just set the check down on the table. I had to tell her "no", we would like dessert & another drink. She was not listening well when I asked about two drinks & brought the wrong drink. Her poor service left us feeling underwhelmed with the experience and directly impacted the restaurant's revenue. Additionally, after all of those errors she did not offer to comp the wrong drink or even throw in dessert. She also stood outside for about 10 min after dropping the dessert. We were ready to go & now we had to ask a few people if they could get our check. The portion sizes are small for $21-29/main. If the service was excellent I could excuse it, but we all felt it was not worth it. I saw other tables have better service experiences, although the table next to us had the wrong beef dish delivered (at least the expediter quickly caught it & brought the correct one as well as told them to keep the incorrect one). We might be willing to give them another try in a few months, but they really need to focus on proper food timing & basic steps of service. One more chance is the max we will give - service training is definitely needed.

Food was a 10/10. The Sole is must order. Can't say that enough. Kung Pao was 10/10, fresh and perfect amount of spice Green beans were fresh and crunchy, perfect. Service was attentive. Restaurant is beautiful. Only issue I have is the two seater tables are far too small given the size of the dishes. We had three dishes (rice, sole, and green beans) and we couldn't fit everything without boxing some up. Will definitely come again.

What an amazing Chinese restaurant!! My second time here. EVERY dish we ordered is delicious including the desserts, cocktails (definitely order Mezoga ) . Bartender /Servers all top notch. I like it so much that I asked to have a picture taken with one of the main chefs:)

Donhao's lunch bento box is a total win fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Every bite feels satisfying, from the tender protein to the crisp veggies and tasty sides. It's the perfect midday meal that doesn't feel heavy. Great food, quick service, and a lovely spot in the heart of Danville!

We were seated within a few minutes and placed our order in another 5-10 minutes. Then we waited and waited for the food to arrive. It didn't, not even an hour after our arrival. We left. Only one waiter and another part time waiter who was also the host. They were doing the best but were unable to keep up with the guests. We were told the kitchen was backed up.

Try our local town's newly opened restaurant. This place is definitely better than the previous restaurant here. Both their food and service were great.

The place is very unique and quite special. The food was amazing and the wine was delicious. That said, a huge shout out to the bar tender, Randy. Randy made us feel quite welcome and made the experience very rememberable. We will definitely be going back.

I love this restaurant for dinner. However, I went there for lunch and was disappointed in that their luncheon specials come all at once. So the soup salad, appetizer, entrée, and rice all come at once. So while you are having your soup and salad and appetizer, your entrée is becoming cold. If they change this format, I will again go for lunch otherwise not DAVE, Danville
