Doko feels like a neighborhood spot, with tables of friends chatting deep into the lunch hour, parents with their kids nearby, and a convenient location next to an ice cream parlor. The menu is good for quick lunches, with sushi sets though individual orders are available for sushi and sashimi. There is a playfulness with the food, as you can have a sushi set plus a smashburger, tasty with the addition of gouda cheese and tonkatsu sauce. They also have a monthly special for "Doko Dogs" though I'll have to try that at a later time. Cocktails are flavorful, and they suggest a trip to the nearby Bar Doko may be worth a future visit as well.

Always a favorite. I could eat here weekly and almost do! Lol. The omakase is such a good deal and fish is always so fresh. Can’t leave without getting the ube cake for dessert!

Andy the owner is nice but he’s a wild one. I’ve been going here for years but the main attraction is Andy. Foods great but chef Andy knows how to work the crowd with his dashing personality and his natural charisma. Chin chin Andy!
