Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu.

Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

Dashi Sichuan Kitchen is such a great departure from so many nondescript Asian restaurants in town. The food is delicious with both unique and standard options to choose between. The decor and ambiance are inviting and,, well, the bar is definitely a treat. Plan a visit - you will be glad you did.
