I love Dozo Izakaya. My husband and I go here weekly. We usually get takeout and it's always delicious. They have a great variety of Japanese food and it's all amazing. Their ramen is the best in the city, the broth is great and the chashu pork is so good. The staff is the best. They are all so friendly and welcoming every time we go. Dozo is my favorite place to eat and is definitely the best Japanese restaurant in Arizona. I recommend it to everyone.
The sushi can be a little unpredictable, but the ramen is to die for and the tempura is perfect. Service can be a little slow, but if you sit at the bar you can chat with Robert-san (who is charming and fun) and enjoy the time instead of tapping your toe.
They have a great lunch specials during the week on sushi and ramen. I come here a lot with my colleagues. The waitress is attentive and the food comes out pretty fast. Never have any complaints... we love it here! I call it my Dozo time.
The food is super authentic and very fresh! Very friendly staff!
Best sushi in AZ by far! Authentic and nice people, the ramen is pretty great too!
Good food good atmosphere friendly staff good service. Price is $$.
Great ramen as per normal. Well done! Spicy miso and pork how can you go wrong
Great service and huge menu selection. Everything tasted excellent and would definitely go again. Best ramen I've had in AZ.
Love finding mom and pop style establishments that have great food to accompany my libations. I highly recommend the Dozo Rolls and baked scallops.
High quality fish and fantastic Ramen. Highly recommend.
I was looking for a quick yet healthy lunch in between business clients when I happened upon Dozo Izakaya for the first time. You treated me to exceptional food, friendly staff, and a very refreshing experience overall. Good job and thank you!
The best ramen I had ever tasted in US. Excellent sushi and service. Will return soon.
Go to spot for sushi and ramen! Service and atmosphere are great too
The ambiance is perfect for a relaxing evening, making it a top-notch destination for a memorable dining experience. The grilled beef tongue is an absolute delight. The meat was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. It's a must-try dish. Will come again!
First time having lunch here with the Hubby. It's a relatively small establishment tucked away in a small plaza. Clean, good atmosphere, the music was great. We had Sho yu ramen, katsudon and gyoza. It was very good. The service was impeccable, very attentive, the lady inquired if it was our first time there, and she thanked us for coming in. The food was prepared wonderfully, tasted fantastic. We saw a table next to us getting a plate of sashimi which looked incredible. We will definitely be back. Well worth the drive from the west valley.
Enjoyed the warm simple dinner in this clean upscale restaurant. We liked the Miso and Tonkatsu Ramen Noodle Soups. Both were on target and flavorful with delicious chewy noodles although a bit salty. Edamame was fresh and steamy hot. Many other diners enjoyed eating on the shady early evening patio. Dinner here is priced fairly and they offered us an early happy hour pricing menu on a Saturday.
I heard that Dozo was good, but hadn't made it by until recently and I'm a little upset that I hadn't dropped in sooner.
Fantastic sushi. Probably the best I've had in the 10 years I've been in AZ. Pretty diverse menu. I had nigiri, then curry, and tried the beef tongue. All was delicious. My wife had her favorite sushi... the Spicy Tuna roll and said it's the best one she's ever had. So she ordered two more. We both waddled out very full and very happy.
Oh, and the service was awesome. Super nice, super helpful. We really liked the staff. Excellent service.
Atmosphere is a little laid back. They said it's styled after Japanese cafes where people drop in after work.
We will go back. In fact we're both eager to.
It's a good Japanese food restaurant for a reasonable price. I really like the tempura! Crispy and juicy.
The sushi was good too, my Japanese friend said they did the rice right.
The food is always immaculate, the staff more than kind and caring, and very accommodating of our large order of cold soba noodles at one time 😆
I would recommend them 12/10, it's a go-to for me and my husband and we haven't been disappointed by anything yet. Everything from the tea, gyoza, ramen, izakaya menu, and general vibes are great. Authentic flavors, and something for everyone to enjoy. As noted, the cold soba is a favorite, and if you go in summertime, you must try the Hiyashi Chuka (Cold Ramen). Their normal ramen (especially the curry ramen) is also fantastic. You really can't go wrong.
It was an amazing experience but do not go there with an empty stomach you will be disappointed and broke, LOL... not to say the food was anything but addictive, delicious, fresh, artful, and prepared by very talented chefs executed with perfection... the downside is us Americans can suck down any dish they serve in secondsu
The curry here is wonderful. Flavorful but understated, it makes their curry katsu worth the drive. The gyoza, karaage, and korokke are also excellent. Their teriyaki is bold but not too sweet, just enough to get the point across. Get any of these and you'll be happy with your choice.
Excellent Japanese food. Fresh and very tasty. The place is small but they do offer outside patio area to sit. Fresh sushi made before your eyes so you know its fresh. The rice I had was perfect. The green tea and chai tea was really good too. The staff is very friendly and fast service.
I've been craving for Japanese food recently and so glad I found this gem 50 minutes away from where I live and it's so worth it!! How I wish it has another store in Phoenix. I love their ramen!! The soup is how I expected it to be. Their takoyaki is also great!! Will be back to try out their bento meals. Hoping it will be soon!
I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen with siu mai (dumplings). The ramen was great but I wouldn't recommend the siu mai as wasn't flavorful and might have been frozened.
I went here for lunch but wasn't offered the izakaya menu.
While as good as the ramen was, it's not as great as a dedicated ramen only place. But DOZO offers way more than that if you want a variety.
Husband and I have been searching for an authentic ramen for the last 8 years since our time in Japan. Hands down the best flavored broth for both the tonkatsu and the sho-yu. The gyoza was crispy and full of flavor. Hands down the best quality and well worth a 50 minute drive
Best spicy Ramen 🍜🍣 my husband loves the sushi, too 😊 10/10. I definitely recommend it!
Pretty good ramen. Got the shrimp with the soy sauce broth and I got it to go. It was nice because they put a generous amount of broth and noodles and put it in 2 separate containers so they didn’t get soggy. I didn’t eat it until 30 mins later and it was still hot. Pretty tasty and was only $10!
The food was reasonably priced, and it was delicious and light and filling. Totally loved the atmosphere and the service. Will DEFINITELY go again
i ordered a beer, it was perfect and cold, they also have sake! i ordered shishito peppers to start and they were amazing!! for my meal i ordered a veggie ramen with tofu, in a spicy vegetarian miso broth, with the help of some soy sauce and a little more hot sauce it was perfect! the broth came out a little bland at first but after asking for a side of hot sauce and soy sauce it ended up perfect! also the noodles are amazing; perfect texture and size. over all a great experience. will be back!
I always love coming here. Great atmosphere, great food! The people who run it seem like genuinely nice people.
It always upsets me to see the next door restaurant so busy when these people have such a good product and service!
Amazing ramen! We came up all the way from Tucson for it and loved it. Great prices & delicious food. Every aspect of the ramen was excellent, especially the broth.
Today, I wanted to try something different from my normal order of tonkatsu ramen. I decided on getting the bento combination. It was very good!! I really like the Japanese dressing on the salad. The pork katsu was very delicious as well. My wife always gets the tomato ramen. I got a chance to try it and it was also very good. We will definitely be back for more.
