I went here with my girlfriend after Animethon. Japanese food was the only cuisine to have after a Japanese-themed convention. My instant reaction is that Dorinku is phenomenal. The atmosphere was great, the service was fantastic and their food was perfect. It is the best Japanese food I’ve had in Edmonton and is very reasonably priced.
Dorinku Osaka is a great place to come in for a nice meal or share plates with friends. I got the chicken truffle shoyu ramen here for lunch and it was pretty good.I might be a little picky but today I felt it wasn't quite 100% on point with some of the flavors being a little more mellow and subtle than I would have liked. The noodles were perfect but I think that the bowl was slightly smaller compared to other ramen places. Overall quite good.
Incredibly fast service and delicious food! The patio is large, but because it's on Jasper, it wouldn't be my personal preference to eat outside next to a busy street.The truffle udon is outstanding and the pork salad was a nice balance because the udon is a fairly heavy dish. The tuna tataki was very good and though there were only five pieces, they're decently sized.
Came during their happy hour and was able to try a good variety of items from both the happy hour and regular menu!Everything was so well prepared and tasted extremely fresh.We had the takoyaki, chicken karage, tuna tataki, avocado pressed sushi, and the Toro pressed sushi. Highly recommend getting the pressed sushi if you're coming here!
Great service and food last night. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed our first time eating at Dorinku Osaka. Will definitely come back!
The tuna tataki is perfection. It always tastes super fresh, is perfectly seared and is seasoned beautifully. 10/10I’ve also had the spicy miso ramen, it was also a 10/10. I get mine with added spinach, extra chive and another ramen egg or two. Trust me, get an extra ramen egg, they are out of this world delicious.The bluefin tuna, worth every penny too. 10/10
Very tasty food, friendly service.
Osaka has a chill vibe going in compared to Tokyo. It's more modern izakaya atmosphere. The takoyaki was piping hot and the texture was crunchy. The Shaka Shaka fries was okay as it was fries shaked in a bag with seasoning, but still good. The carbonera udon was hot and creamy. The oyster was fresh and cleaned thoroughly. The ponzu sauce that came with it was slightly sweet, and compliments the oyster.Overall, good atmosphere, good pricing. Only dissapointing thing was I over hyped myself for the Shaka shaka fries.
Had the Ichiran Spicy Ramen! It does remind me of Ichiran but I wish we could also load up on more noodles afterwards!! The salmon pressed sushi tastes great just like at Dorinku Tokyo. The appetizer platter is okay but there are a bunch of things to try! However some things aren't really shareable in it so it's more of a taste test for one person. Looking to come back during karaage 1/2 price night on Tuesdays!
The food, fantastic. The spicy miso ramen, gyzo, and sushi- fantastic! However, today was the second time I was there and the first time, the service was mediocre but the service today... garbage. I would say the waitresses name but I don't think it's kind to publicly shame, but I will say that if you do come here and you're only with one other person... prepare to be ignored for a while. When my sister and I first got there, it took her 20 minutes to come by while she was constantly at the table beside us. And then when it was time to pay... she never came by and a good half hour had gone by before I decided to just get up and go to the front. Funny enough, she was standing and talking to someone but then rushed over to us. Anyways, wouldn't recommend when you're with one other person. Never tipped so low in my life.
