Dobutsu

★ 4.7 / 5 (972 reviews)

Dobutsu has garnered a reputation for both outstanding culinary creations and notable service. Diners praise the vibrant ambiance and delicious offerings, particularly the Unique Daily Bao and perfectly cooked pork belly, alongside flavorful ramen and dumplings. However, inconsistencies in quality, particularly with oysters and excessive sauce in dumplings, have left some guests disappointed. Service quality varies, with some noting attentive staff, while others reported inattentiveness. While some advocate for the restaurant’s return to excellence, others express reluctance to revisit. Overall, Dobutsu remains a focal point for diverse dining experiences, blending highs and lows in a modern setting.

Also ordered the pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings which were great as well and a healthy portion! Got a side of pork belly as well (which isn't on the menu, but was $6 and totally worth it), and it was so tender and flavorful! Or... View all feedback.
