Had a reservation at Booze Box. Their cocktail list was excellent. Decided to try some of their dishes and we were not disappointed. We were thoroughly impressed with their dishes and even tried some drinks that were off the menu. The staff (Jennifer) went beyond our expectations and had us excited to visit again. Very recommended, would want to make another visit.
Sushi was so good and service was great. Hot Daisy and Godzilla rolls were probably my favorite and the green tea cheesecake was soooo good! Cocktail menu was solid and I would highly recommend the Pear Up. Not a fan of sweet drinks and this one was perfect.The only reason I didn't give 5 stars would have to be the space. It was SUPER tight. I know COVID restrictions on indoor dining have been lifted and i'm sure they want to fit in as many patrons as possible but that was too close for comfort.
TL;DR: for casual eaters this place is not bad.For discernable sushi lovers, save your money for a better place.Menu is relatively simple with usual corner sushi restaurant offerings.Fish is very fresh. Rest of the execution is sub par for the price point and market they are trying to compete in. Nigiri was over riced. Rice was warm and soft but too loose.Soba was not worth ordering as the noodle was over cooked.Waiter was nice but the hostess was cold and unwelcoming; probably having a bad day.
Came on a Sunday evening and there was no wait at all. I sat at the bar and it was fun watching the chefs make their food.I ordered the Daisy Roll and a bowl of ramen. Both are really good, the roll is a bit spicy so beware if you can’t handle spice. Overall, I’d say that it was a bit expensive, both items came out to be $35 which seems a bit much for just one person.
5* for the Nigiri alone. You simply cannot come here without trying the Wagyu, Uni, Unagi and Sake nigiri. The Maki rolls (Torched Salmon Alabaster and Dragon) were good but not mind blowing. We both preferred the Dragon. Very few Udon options with a bland soy 'broth'. Loved the seaweed salad which was not the fake florescent stuff served elsewhere. Note that the place is pricier than the casual small space would imply, priced on the higher end of the spectrum.
I came here for restaurant week with my brother and a friend, and we all enjoyed our meal immensely! The 5-course dinner was surprisingly pretty filling although we did order an extra roll at the end of dinner. The saba cold noodles were our favorite. The dish felt so simple, but the flavors complimented each other well. The fish was fresh on the nigiri and the maki, and they all tasted delicious. The mochi dessert was a perfect end to the meal. I only gave 4 stars because service was pretty mediocre and even with a reservation, we ended up waiting 20 minutes to actually be seated. I would love to come back again and try the bar downstairs!
This was my second time to Sushi Dokku. We took my son and 2 of his friends out to dinner for my son's birthday. We had a fantastic time and a lot of it relies on the staff. Let's start with Susan. She will answer your email questions quickly and never sound like you are being an inconvenience. I wanted to surprise my son with sitting at the sushi bar, so Susan helped us make that happen as much as she could since it is first come-first served for that spot. She recommended that we come early. We tried to make our 5:45 Friday reservation on time, but it was probably more like 6:00 by the time I parked. The last time I was there, there was valet, but they don't now. My friend went in to ask where we could find valet, and a gentleman (sorry didn't get his name--maybe owner or manager??) came out and walked to several other restaurants to see who had valet...where do you see people going out of their way like this??? BTW, you can valet at Little Goat (across the street). We had edamame and scallion pancakes for appetizers. The boys got Udon bowls (so delish!!), my friend got the Spicy Deviled Eggs, and I had the Aemono Salad. The salad was just okay. Our group got 2 Daisy Rolls, 2 Godzilla Rolls, and 1 Dragon Roll. We had Fuji Fu and mochi for dessert. My friend had a "Pear Up" cocktail that was so good, it was dangerous...you could easily drink 3 and then fall off the bench!! All the Maki Rolls were great. I had the Godzilla Roll and I thought it was the best! It was fun watching all the sushi being made in front of us. Susan even came up to me when we were seated to introduce herself. I was very impressed on the hospitality with the staff in a time when nobody seems to care. Food and staff were a 10 in my book!
Fantastic Japanese food! We had miso-tuna sushi, spicy karage, tempura, and even a matcha cocktail. Lastly, special shout-out to the vegetarian “chef’s special”. It was hands down the best vegetarian sushi roll I’ve ever eaten and really appreciated how accommodating the restaurant was to different dietary needs.
Drinks were OK, nothing bad but wasn't impressed with the cocktails.The okonomiyaki was a nice shared starter.Unfortunately though, some of the worst sushi I've had including that from a Kroger in Kentucky.Would be perfect for someone who's looking to taste nothing but added flavors used to mask low quality fish.
Sushi Dokku is a very good restaurant. The inside more resembles an izakaya with warm, dark woods. There is a nice bar downstairs. The food here is special. Traditional style nigiri and rolls with unique, creative sauces. Everything we tried was expertly prepared and delicious. Highly recommneded.
