Wonderful atmosphere with great artwork and decor. We were welcomed warmly and escorted to our table. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and had a very approachable personality and a great sense of humor. The food came quickly and really delivered. The flavors were not too overpowering and we absolutely loved every dish we ordered.
Highly recommend!! Great prices for great food!! The staff were amazing as well. We ordered a great selection of appetizers and main, and my absolute favourite was the chicken karaage and calamari both appetizers and had a big portion for a great price. All of the food we ordered was absolutely amazing and greatly filled all of our stomachs -- and we devoured all of them fr. Our waiter was also great and fun and very patient with our group of 8. The food came at an appropriate time and our overall experience at dorinku was A+. The drinks were just as good and my little brother had the time of his life when he found out they had a "kid beer". I also ordered a lot of their non-alcoholic drinks which I found were excellent as is the food. Overall, I highly recommend going to dorinku!! Kid-friendliness: My brother went absolutely crazy with their kid beer which was apple juice or something lol and our waiter was amazing interacting with him about it.
The best place to go if you want delicious Japanese food that won’t break the bank!!! Their sushi/sashimi is to die for!! Literally the best sushi I’ve had in a while and I love sushi. Their ramen is both scrumptious and made with care. The broth is so decadent, I had truffle oil in mine and it was the perfect touch! The service was amazing, regularly asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything and was overall really friendly. Will definitely be going back!
We were looking for a restaurant that allow pet on the patio and we found Dorinku Osaka. We went there for lunch the service was exceptional!! Staff were so nice and polite. We were waiting to be seated for a bit when we arrived as it was lunch time and they were very busy. Staff was very apologetic that having us waited quite a bit. We tried Chicken Karage, TNT roll, and chirashi bowl and they were AMAZING with reasonable price! We will definitely come back again!!
Really great vibes and a different experience compared to the one on Whyte. The staff was friendly, food was good, and drinks... also good! I think the deserts could use a revamp in my opinion. Would definitely recommend checking out and even sitting at the bar having a drink and a snack would be an experience even solo! Vegetarian options: They have vegan options like vegan ramen.
I've been here twice and my experience was pretty much the same. The food is delicious and the service is great. The corn starter is a must have. Thanks Elaine, your service was exceptional.
What a lovely time! I've been meaning to check this place out for some time & I'm so glad I did! We had the pressed sushi which was spectacular. The flavour, texture & structure of each was perfect rice not too hard or mushy. We also ordered the okonomiyaki, which was so nice & the shaka shaka fries - classic! On the pricey side, but definitely worth it to check it out & support local! Will be back soon, that I know for sure!
Maybe I have high hopes to this Osaka street food restaurant however actually is not as good as I expected. It’s on pricy side we ordered the new year platter which is $89. It comes with 6 mini courses for tasting the flavour is just so so, like average quality not feel any special. I recommend order their ramen or other main dishes, saw on other review they are yummy and can fill you up. We also got the okonomiyaki it was nice and taste great but just portion too small. Good place for gathering with friends or colleagues and food is the second. Overall not bad but also not deserve 5-star as well have improvement to do.
Love the pork yakisoba here - perfect combination of fresh cabbage and ingredients. Service was excellent! always a welcoming atmosphere and pleasant experience.
*Food* Tokayaki 10/10: An explosion of flavors. Extremely delicious, its a must if it's your first time there. Sockeye Salmon Press 9/10: Fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Loved the dish, I tried topping it off with Salmon sashimi, it wasn't a bad idea! Curry Rice 8/10: really good plate, I don't regret ordering it, though I think going to an authentic Japanese restaurant for the first time, I should try something more traditional. Loved the dish though! Fried chicken 8/10: its deep deep fried, but super good. Recommend to add a lemon squeez and spicy mayo to every bite, worth the work! *Service* Lovely and friendly staff, always checking up on us and making sure we're enjoying the experience. *Atmosphere* Loved the place. Original, unique, stylish, and gives true Japanese vibes. A place to visit again for sure!
