Bar Dojo is consistently reliable for delicious, high-quality, well balanced flavorful offerings and visual delights. They are creative and continually develop a menu with the freshest ingredients to include interesting, new and delicious flavor profiles whether the category is plant based, entrees, cocktails or appetizers. Every single one is outstanding and a winner. This is truly one of (if not THE best) hidden gems in Edmonds! Make your reservations early....

Great food. Engaging, professional wait staff. The place has too many hard surfaces and the noise level makes it difficult to have a conversation without speaking louder than one would like. That said, will definitely return.

I've been to Bar Dojo a few times before but this was definitely the best experience I've had so far. We tried 5 different things on the menu and all of them were fantastic! The ahi poke tacos, gochujang artichoke "wings" (AMAZING), crispy tofu, crispy pork noodles and the almond cake - highly recommend any of these dishes the next time you go. Our server was tentative and very polite. Overall great experience and I'll definitely be back for those artichoke wings.

First time visiting and was not disappointed. My wife and I shared three different dishes (we were starving) and everyone was excellent! Lemongrass broccoli and beef was super flavorful. A lot of spicy dishes but had some choices for the non-spicy crowd too.

I love this place. This was the first time my husband had been here. We ordered quite a few dishes so he could try as many things as possible! The food is nothing short of amazing. So many interesting flavor combinations - absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic. The only down side is that it seemed exceptionally noisy this time.

My only complaint is that I made a reservation and when we got there 5 mins before the reservation the only table they had open was the most undesirable table in the whole place. It was right in the middle of the room by kitchen traffic, customer traffic and the front door. We decided it would be better to eat at the bar instead. I thought if you made a reservation they reserved a table for you not give you what’s no one else wants.

The food is good but a bit overpriced. Shared a poke tower and then each ordered a bowl, also with avocado rice - it felt like we ate the same thing over and over, fish version, meat version - wish the server would've warned us that it was basically the same thing. The bowls are a bit overpriced and the greens on the bowl seemed a bit of a random filler. The meat and fish were good quality but paying an extra 8 dollars for avocado rice is rip-off. The almond cake was very disappointing - it's not rich like you'd expect given the almond, it's just a fluffy flour cake on the dry side.

We loved our meal recently. It was nice to see some new things on the menu. The Birre with ramen and broth was especially great. I alway am a bit off put by the timing at Bar Do Jo. Seems like servers, bar and kitchen can’t get a good flow from drinks and aps to food. I feel a bit rushed with food always coming right after cocktails are served. Otherwise it is always a good meal and interesting flavors.

Hi Patty, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Our kitchen does run very efficiently and can create dishes pretty fast once they are rung in. Feel free to let your server know you'd like more of a coursed experience and we'd be happy to make it happen. We certainly want you to enjoy your time here as much as you do your meal!
