    A Truly Special Experience at Doko – 10/10 Doko made our visit feel incredibly special. I had noted in our reservation that it was my partner’s 28th birthday, and they went above and beyond — greeting us with flowers and a thoughtful card. That level of personal touch is rare and truly appreciated. From the moment we arrived, the service felt custom-tailored: fast, helpful, and most importantly, warm and inviting. The food was solidly above average, and the drinks were outstanding — their matcha IPA was especially memorable. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Doko to anyone looking for a unique and thoughtful dining experience.

    Excellent sushi in a no frills bar environment. Most of the sushi is hand rolls so don’t come here for exotic selections or presentation. It’s just really good food at a fair price.
