Another exquisite meal at Bar Dojo. Dumplings both fried and steamed are absolutely delicious! Chicken satay was perfect with fantastic peanut sauce and the smash burger was well seasoned and expertly cooked. This is our second time coming in as many months, this time to celebrate both our anniversary and my birthday. We were thrilled to see we had the same server as last time, this lovely, helpful and incredibly personal waiter named Chad. The perfect blend of attentive without being overbearing. Even brought a surprise sorbet out at the end! Such nice people and great food. Couldn’t recommend it more.

First a disclaimer - we came for brunch so I can't assess the dinner. This is a foodie restaurant - in many cases the dishes are creative takes on basic items, i.e. not just strawberries with the waffles, but pickled strawberries. Overall the results were interesting - in the good sense of the term - and in some instances, outstanding. On the downside, the chicken that came with the waffles had a decent enough sauce but the breading was leathery and the chicken was dry. The pandan waffles were very good but nothing exceptional except for the green color. But the nuts and pickled strawberries accompanying them were outstanding. The eggs Benedict sauce - with yuzu - really worked, and the potatoes that came with it were excellent. So not everything was a bull's eye - hence my rating of 4 instead of 5 - but the creative approaches made the food at very least interesting and in some areas, excellent. The restaurant is very loud when crowded but it is definitely an attractive space with a energetic vibe. Service was a tad slow IMHO but since it was very crowded I hesitate to mention that - in other words, it was not due to inattentive wait staff. All in all, the food ranged from good with some excellent elements and I'd definitely go again.

A huge fan of Bar Dojo's menu. Always eager and excited about their menu changes as well. Decided to drive up for Brunch and it was worth it. We had the Donuts, Greek Yogurt with assorted fruits, Birria Grilled Cheese, Chicken and Waffles & Ube French Toast along with the Bloody Maria's and Carajillo cocktails. It was all perfect! We could not decide on a favorite dish due to how flavorful and unique each dish was. If you can I definitely recommend skipping the Sunday Brunch crowd and checking it out on a Saturday. We were able to get a reservation same day and we had parking! Sunday reservations were already booked! Service was great! Staff is attentive and super friendly. Thank you Chef Luis for a great start to the day!

Delicious and creative dishes. Plan to return to try other menu items. The waygu beef Benedict was the best ever tasted according to my son who has very picky palettes.
