Is it mini-hotpot? I think so. Dagu has blessed our wicked Cleveland streets with great authentic Asian cuisine. The level of quality they put into each dish will make any lover of broth raise their brows in approval. Not only are the food options amazing but their boba options are just as good. Original I came just for the the boba actually. Cups are cute and Instagram worthy. Makes a great place for a lunch date with your significant other or a friend that owes you one because you dumped on him on apex. Atmosphere is decent. Nothing to write home about, but is very clean which is always a win. Bathroom could use some work tho. Not the cleanest bathroom but at least it works. In short come eat here. ?

I drive 40 mins for Dagu’s Bubble tea. The owner knows me as ‘the G-17’ guy. You should find out why.

Probably one of the few Asian restaurants I can brag about in Cleveland and one of the only place with legitimate bubble tea. Most other restaurants either exist or are even better in other larger cities such as dim sum or Szechuan or sushi. But not many places have this. I’ve had friends from China say this is legit and perhaps even better than some places in China. I actually use this place to bribe my friends to visit Cleveland since it’s not very seemingly exciting to many haha. They also do takeout packaging really well. Their desserts are also really good. Many places in Cleveland that have bubble tea just make it from powder similar to how you make instant coffee but charge the same price. That’s very not worth it to me, might as well buy your own packets from Amazon or any Chinese supermarket if just powder. The appetizers are ok nothing to rave about.

great place, great people, wonderful food

I’ve gotten their chicken cutlets twice! It was 6 PM on a Saturday when my group (three other people) got there and we had a 15 minute wait. It’s a small space. The service is good. I’ve gotten the fruit teas in the past and they’ve been quite good.

I really love the milk tea and they have so many options. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. Some of the best service we have had in awhile when eating out. We were able to order some tea to go when we finished dining in. All around had a great experience here. We will definitely be back to dine here again. ❤

Delicious! I especially loved the cucumber salad. Mildly spicy and crunchy and fresh.

Cleveland has a plethora of great Asian food choices. Dagu sits itself with confidence among them. The bubble tea is excellent (I recommend the jasmine green tea, the crème brûlée and the brown sugar) and the soup bowls are pretty dang amazing. There’s a reason the tables have temperature warnings on them, the food comes out HOT, which I personally love. The staff are all very nice as well. Perfect spot for a chilly Winter day in Cleveland.

Everything was delicious! We each had Crossing Bridge soup and got the braised lotus root and sticky rice in brown sugar for appetizers. Food came out quickly and the service was great. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food. I love the noodles and most of the appetizers are tasty too. The sticky rice with brown sauce is my favorite. Will be coming back!!! Highly recommend if you want some authentic rice noodles.
