    Probably one of the best nights out we’ve had for a long time. Food was amazing, service was impeccable and the knowledge of each course and description was impressive. This was a birthday celebration and my son Jayden was made to feel very special. We also sat in the kitchen area which was full of excitement and as my son has a passion for food and cooking this made his night. It was also raining outside which added to the very cosy and warm ambience. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, a great night that we will always remember. Thank you Freyja.

    My partner and I came to Doju last night for his birthday dinner. We had the most incredible experience. Every single thing we ordered had incredible flavour - we even ended up getting a second round of the potatoes! The highlight was definitely the gochujung focaccia. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I really appreciate the effort taken to make our night special. Thank you so so much.

    Fantastic views. Great drinks and staff. Could get some more veggie options for the sides and chips could have been better. The sourdough was fantastic. Will surely visit again.
