We’ve been ordering here at least once a week for the past month, just can’t get enough! The quality, the freshness and the taste has been exceptional. Our fav is Salmon Combo B would definitely recommend

With this Restaurant I got wonderful experience. It has a cozy vibe with nice music and lots of cherry blossoms:), making it a great place to enjoy time. Servers are also nice and it was another fun to see Chefs making Sushi. The food is amazing—everything is super delicious! The salmon sashimi, salmon sushi, and more were all great. I especially loved the steamed salmon and the California roll in Bento B. The steamed salmon was really high quality, and I enjoyed the texture of the avocado and cucumber in the California roll. I got Sauvignon Blanc and Molson at that day and I believe they definitely made the dish more perfect. It was really nice time for me, Thank you for making my time wonderful.

I think a truly under appreciated aspect of restaurants is going above and beyond for customer experience. And this place does it so well. It’s Mother’s Day, and my mother really likes salmon. So instead of ordering one of the preset boxes, I ordered a bunch of smaller dishes, but with a note asking for it to be put in a fancy box. I didn’t have much hope that would be done but it didn’t hurt to try. Not only did they call to confirm but they actually did it! the girl on the other side was so nice, and they even included some freebies with nice notes. AND A REAL ROSE? Hello??? The sushi was made really well, with a good ratio of rice and fish. You could tell immediately because when I rolled the nigiri over to see if there’s wasabi, the fish didn’t budge from the rice LOL. That’s a really good sign of good sushi that you don’t often see. I’d love to order or come in person again! Thank you for having me :)

Excellent service and food quality:) We had a sushi combo, zesty roll and fried tofu, and it was enough for two! The server was really sweet to us, food came out quick and they gave us a free chocolate for dessert Thank you for your kindness, I would definitely come again!

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a great experience. The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The salmon rolls were particularly fresh and delicious. The Dragon Box was not only beautifully presented but also tasted fantastic. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The place was clean and had a nice, cozy vibe. Prices were quite reasonable for the quality, so it felt like good value. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Just had a fantastic experience at this Japanese restaurant, although we had to wait a bit longer due to the staff being on break (this was around 3:45, so not that long) I was met with excellent service right away. Our food came in right away when we ordered them ( I had a Katsu Bento box and it was very delicious). The food was very good and filling as well, the Katsu was the right crispiness and the tempura selection was excellent as well. After our initial food, we decided to our drinks and dessert. We ordered the same flight and while at the time of our dining experience, they ran out of nigori, they gave us extra of the premium and it was delightful and smooth as well. For our dessert, we got the mochi icecream and its presentation was excellent, the roasting of the marshmallows and the syrup touch was great. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Dokkaebi and will certainly come back in the future.
