“ Everything about the Bibimbap dish is so delicious!! Perfect texture-brown rice with bean add-ins, fresh crunchy veggies, right amount of shiitake...peppery chicken. I think it’s one of the best meals to order in Cambridge! (Ordered entree size with chicken salad) I ordered boba tea in the past and the quality of the tea actually stopped me in my tracks!...as in the boba seemed completely unnecessary. Dado is special! I need to go more!! ”
“ A couple years ago, I was doing construction on one of the floors above Dado. I stumbled in there hoping to get a quick coffee on break. I ended up going daily, to get a good meal and have good conversation with the owner. Highly recommend the food and people here! ”

“ The food was absolutely amazing and the pricing is also fantastic!! Definitely recommend coming here!! I passed by this place so many times until I finally decided to go in and try it, and now I regret not doing so sooner! The food has generous portions and is very well priced, especially around this area. It’s also so good, and the owner is so nice! This is my new favorite spot to have lunch. ”
