    I had the chance to visit DOKO yesterday, and it’s definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! The restaurant is quite small — very intimate — but the cozy vibe adds to the experience. The Nigiri selection was outstanding, easily on par with top sushi spots like Uchiko and MF Sushi. Each piece was fresh, well-crafted, and packed with flavor. The rolls, however, could use a bit more depth and balance in flavor. That said, it’s a new spot, and I’m excited to see how the menu evolves with time. One thing I absolutely loved was the Doko Bar across the way — such a fun and creative concept to extend the experience. Definitely a must-try for sushi lovers, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this spot grows!

    Tried the tasting menu and it was amazing! I am not someone that normally likes fish but the nigiri was some of our favorite on the menu! It was so fresh and not fishy tasting whatsoever! I would recommend to everyone!

    The service was horrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Our server was very rude to us and to his helping staff.

    Our dinner at Doko was fantastic, loved the sushi bar seating, it was perfect and cozy for me and my husband. The Yakatori chicken thighs and pork belly wrapped mushrooms were absolutely delicious! The chicken fat fried rice with the egg on top was sooo good! We finished with lots of nigiri, the ocean trout was my favorite. After dinner we headed over to Bar Doko and had a night cap, great little bar with fantastic ambiance, really enjoyed our night and can’t wait to go back.

    Seems like a fun place to dine at but unfortunately service was horrible and the timing of the courses was bad. The six course tasting menu was good.
