The intimate 12-seat Japanese-American restaurant opened in the former Fern’s space along East Boulevard.
Perry Saito and John Gamble, who also created Katsu Kart, closed their original DŌZO location in Wesley Heights last year to reopen a larger Dilworth space. Here’s what to know before you go.
What to order (from the dinner menu):
- Chips and dip (Smoked Blue Crab, Ikura Salmon Caviar, Furikake Kettle Chips)
- Tonkatsu Caesar (Katsu Pork, Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Yuzu Caesar Dressing)
- Shokupan Honey Toast with Miso Caramel and Yuzu Chantilly (the perfect punctuation mark on a great meal)
Who to go with: That friend you’ve been meaning to make plans with for a while. The space has mostly intimate two-tops—perfect for a good catch-up.
What to wear: This restaurant is casual, but cool. Something like this works.
The specifics: The address is 1419 East Blvd A. Lunch is served 11am-2pm and dinner is 5-10pm.
