Asian Bistro Dai Futakotamagawa

Asian Bistro Dai is located on the B1F of Q Plaza Futako-Tamagawa, a 3-minute walk from Futako-Tamagawa Station.
Descend the stairs and you'll find a special space filled with an Asian resort atmosphere, as if you've forgotten the hustle and bustle of the city.

Dogs welcome on the terrace! The terrace seating is a special space for dog lovers.
Rattan-style sofas and cushions arranged on a spacious wooden deck create an open and comfortable atmosphere, just like an Asian resort.
You can enjoy a relaxing time as if you were on a trip, even while in the city center.
Also, a nice point is that the terrace has a solid roof, so you can use it with peace of mind even on rainy days.

Asian Bistro Dai's cuisine is based on classic dishes from various Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand and Vietnam, and has mastered the art of refined modern Asian flavors tailored to the Japanese palate.
While authentic, the use of fresh herbs and unique spices creates an exquisite balance that captivates everyone.

First, as an appetizer, we recommend the Thai culinary masterpiece, 'Yum Woon Sen'.
This is not just a vermicelli salad.
The greatest charm is the complex harmony woven by the essence of Thai cuisine: 'spicy, sour, and sweet'.
Plump shrimp, squid, and flavorful ground pork are boldly tossed with slippery vermicelli in a special sauce featuring the refreshing acidity of lime and the deep richness of nam pla (fish sauce).
Furthermore, this dish is finished at your table and served warm, maximizing the aroma of fresh herbs and highlighting the springy texture of the vermicelli.
With one bite, its exquisite, appetite-stimulating flavor will brilliantly color your time at the Asian bistro, making it the ultimate starter.

The restaurant's recommended 'Xiaolongbao' (soup dumplings) are a truly 'homemade' masterpiece, crafted with no effort spared on the skin, filling, and soup, after the chef's extensive research in Taiwan.
With one bite, the carefully prepared homemade soup, encased in the ultra-thin skin, bursts forth.
This soup is not just chicken bone broth; it uses 'Chintan soup,' clarified with the added umami of chicken tenderloin and pork thigh, characterized by its rich yet clear, deep flavor.
In addition to these classic Xiaolongbao, which are delicious enough on their own, we also offer unique variations blended with rich crab miso and fragrant black truffle, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious taste unique to an Asian bistro.

Following Xiaolongbao, a popular dim sum dish is 'Hand-wrapped Boiled Dumplings with Spicy XO Sauce,' a dish where you can savor the exquisite harmony of the skin and sauce.
The carefully hand-wrapped boiled dumplings feature a pleasant chewy texture of the skin, which blends with the umami of the ingredients in your mouth.
Paired with these simple yet delicious boiled dumplings is Dai's proud original 'Spicy XO Sauce'.
The concentrated deep umami and richness of the XO sauce, combined with a piquant, stimulating spiciness, instantly enhances the simple flavor of the boiled dumplings.
This exquisite dish, with its chewy skin and rich, spicy-savory sauce, is an addictive snack that you'll keep reaching for with beer or wine.

The 'Numbing Mapo Tofu,' which has enthusiastic fans, is a gem of a dish that pursues the authentic Sichuan stimulation and umami.
The numbing spiciness brought out by special chili oil and Sichuan pepper intertwines with the deep umami of tofu and meat, creating an addictive flavor that you won't forget once you taste it.
This Mapo Tofu is served in a hot earthenware pot, so the aroma rising with the steam intensely stimulates the appetite, allowing you to enjoy its piping hot, spicy-savory deliciousness to the very end.

The highly popular noodle dish 'Pad Thai ~Thai-style Seafood Fried Vermicelli~' is a classic finishing dish that elevates Thailand's national fried noodles in Dai's style.
Its greatest feature lies in the chewy texture of the vermicelli (rice noodles) that thoroughly absorbs the sauce.
The umami of seafood, including plump shrimp, and a sweet-sour, rich special sauce intertwine with these noodles, spreading a satisfying and flavorful taste with every bite.
Furthermore, by squeezing the accompanying lemon or adding cilantro, refreshing acidity and ethnic aromas are added, making it an appealing main dish where you can enjoy its exquisite harmony without getting tired of it until the very end.

The 'Snow Crab Fried Rice,' recommended as a finishing dish, is a blissful meal that, while simple, shines with the umami of luxurious ingredients.
The star is sweet and delicious snow crab from Hokkaido.
To maximize its rich flavor and sweetness, it is simply stir-fried with only nam pla (fish sauce) for seasoning.
With one bite, the rich aroma of crab and the deep richness of nam pla gently spread, allowing you to savor the luxurious taste infused into every grain of fluffy rice.
Even after enjoying other spicy Asian dishes, its elegant and gentle umami envelops the tongue, truly making it a perfect finishing dish for a bistro.

For dessert, the homemade lineup, which adds a bistro essence to Asian classics, is appealing.
Among them, the highly popular 'Ma Lai Gao' (steamed brown sugar cake) is a dish that stands out with its freshly steamed, fluffy texture, enhancing post-meal satisfaction, while the gentle, rich aroma of brown sugar and egg provides heartwarming comfort after spicy main dishes.
Additionally, the homemade Oolong tea-scented crème brûlée, featuring a bistro-style arrangement, offers a sophisticated taste with a crisp surface and a smooth, melting texture, subtly infused with the flavor of Chinese tea.
Furthermore, tropical-flavored desserts such as mango pudding and coconut pumpkin zenzai (sweet red bean soup), available hot or cold, are also offered, allowing you to luxuriously conclude your meal with various Asian sweets to match your post-meal mood.
