Founded around 1972 (50+ years of history), a Chinese restaurant a 1-minute walk from Kintetsu Kyuhojiguchi Station. Locally acclaimed as 'the Chinese restaurant in Yao'—a genuine gem. With a Tabelog rating of 3.53 (178 reviews) and Yahoo! Maps 4.32, it draws queues before the 12:00 lunch opening, and phone reservations for dinner are often met with 'sorry, fully booked.' Signature dishes are served in large plates, and the flagship pan-fried dumplings—thin-skinned, juicy, and packing a lard-enhanced flavor punch—keep regulars coming back 9, 6, or 5 times. A December 2024 review confirms a regular who has been visiting 'since childhood, over 30 years ago.' Takeout available.

"When it comes to Chinese food in Yao, it's Daiko." "This is my 9th visit and I always want to come back." "Queues form before opening." "We had to write our name and wait because it was fully booked." "The bok choy is always crisp and delicious." "A taste that never gets old." "I've been coming since childhood, over 30 years ago" (December 2024). No PR deals, no fake reviews. Negative reviews are mild ('it was ordinary'), and no one has flagged fake reviews.
