What leo Kristen likes about Dorinku:
The ramen is good, a bit too garlicky to our liking. The overall quality is good though. But the staff cramped us on a long table along with other guests. I was almost rubbing my elbow against another guest, that's how cramped the staff got us to be. I didn't understand the reasoning because there are plenty of unoccupied tables. View all feedback. What Kenes Nugroho doesn't like about Dorinku:
Great Japanese restaurant that serves tapas style dishes. If your looking for something different than sushi or ramen come here. I love to explore the menu they have it's so fresh and new compared to everything else you can get. I have been twice and the second time was soooo much better.However like I said about sushi or ramen, Dorinku doesn't do those very well but they do great on everything else. I would love to...

Dorinku is a great Japanese restaurant that offers tapas-style dishes, perfect for those looking for something beyond sushi and ramen. The menu is fresh and innovative, with a variety of options to explore. While sushi and ramen may not be their strong suits, the restaurant excels in other areas. The ambiance is lively and fun, with friendly greetings at the door and funky decor. The food is a fusion of different cuisines with a Japanese twist, offering unique dishes like shaka shaka fries and miso marinated cod. Although the service can be a bit slow during busy times, the overall experience is worth a visit for those looking for a new and shared dining experience with family, friends, or a partner.
