The most influential new restaurant in San Antonio, we’re thrilled for you to join our grand master artists - or “da shi” - on an intriguing journey into the iconic flavors, textures, and colors of Sichuan. Welcome to the amazing DASHI.
大师 'Dashi' means grandmaster or grand artist in Chinese. We hope that Dashi will be a delicious spirited gathering place that not only showcases grandmasters from the culinary world but from all the arts. Eat, drink (responsibly), be inspired, create, be happy.","topReview":{"highlightedText":"The food was excellent and cannot be recommended highly enough.

Overbooked. We checked in 5 minutes before our reservation time and waited 25 minutes past our scheduled time before giving up and just going to the bar. Once at the bar, service was great. We ordered our food and drinks and sat there for our evening out.
The food was excellent and cannot be recommended highly enough. To new customers, when they say spicy it is generally based on a person who tolerates no spice, so if you like spicy foods (especially asiatic spices like hot oil) you might want to consider the extra spicy add on for more kick.
The food is always excellent (highly recommend the "famous" green beans and the Don Po pork belly) and comes out SO quickly. Recommend a reservation to speed up wait time, but definitely worth the wait!
