The ahi nachos/tacos are so goood! Honestly everything here is pretty spectacular. The drinks are good. The staff is awesome. It's a super cute spot for a date night. It's giving exactly what the name implies. read more

The ambiance was nice and good for a date night. The place didn't seem busy, but tables were already reserved due to reservations. We were able to snag a table at the bar. I got a drink which was the Fall Bonsai...it was okay just not for me. As for the food, it was amazing. My boyfriend and I got a variety plate that they offered. I don't remember what it's called but had everything. It was so good and fresh. I would order again. read more

Made a reservation but wasn't much needed on a Wednesday night. The ahi tacos were my favorite and I loved them! The cauliflower was just ok and definitely needed a side of rice. Bulgogi fries were good. We did order drinks, not pictured. They were good and strong! We also ordered the crème brûlée, not pictured but I liked their twist on it. Had a hint of pandan flavor. They have a super big parking lot and the store front makes the restaurant feel like a hole in the wall vibe. The staff were nice and attentive. read more

So we (boyfriend and I) came here after my cousin's wedding reception for dinner. Ok, so not immediately after but for dinner as the reception was early afternoon. It was later in the evening (about an hour or so before close) and we were quite tired. It took a minute to be seated (tables needed to be cleared) but once we were down we were taken care of pretty quickly. We ordered drinks and were given complimentary edamame (yummy always a favorite)! And since we caught the tail end of happy hour ordered the Korean Chicken Wings to start. Honestly, my favorite part of the meal - the were crispy and deliciously saucy and spicy. I ordered the crab and poke bowl and he had the curry - while yummy both of us were more impressed with the wings. The soft shell crab was delicious and the tuna was yummy but the rest I could have taken or left. The curry was definitely more soupy then expected and the lemongrass flavor was stronger than we expected, but still good. Definitely a good meal, with highs and...not lows, but you know what I mean. Service was awesome and next time we are in the area definitely getting those wings again!!!! Seriously the were so delicious!!! read more

Ordered the Kalbi bowl and the pork dumplings appetizer. The dumplings were perfectly cooked and the sauce that came with it were amazing. Definitely a great appetizer to start with. The Kalbi bowl was good as well however I wouldn't say it was amazing. The kalbi was tender but there wasn't that much actual meat on them compared to other restaurants have serve Kalbi. The egg was perfectly done and the sauce definitely gave the plate a lot more flavor. Overall, Bar Dojo was pretty good but I don't think it's something we'll ever be craving to go back too. read more

A little too loud if you are going for a date night, the server forgot to put in one of our order and upon asking wasn't really apologetic. The Korean wings are crispy outside juice inside, very nice side of thin French fries. The pork belly ramen was too dense read more

Cozy place with great service! Menu is fun and the food is flavorful. We had the Birria Eggrolls, Al Pastor Kim Chi Rice Bowl, and the Pork Belly Chile Verde Bao. The flavors were great, and amounts were perfect for sharing. Bar Dojo is a good place to take a date, or meet up with friends. I'd recommend reservations, very popular place (deservedly)! read more

Get the ahi tacos. Yum. A little spicy and a lot delicious. Drinks are delicious and creative too. Price is slightly expensive for the vibe inside but the food delivers. Service has been friendly and good both times. Parking is terrible and the lot is always full every time I've been but you can usually find something eventually just plan ahead. I've also tried takeout and it was great. The barilla ramen is yummy (but I do think the broth over powers every other flavor in the dish) but the barilla omg. read more

The hype is real. I understand why it's impossible to get a table here on the weekends without a reservation. Bar Dojo looks very unassuming, crouched at the edge of a strip mall next to a quick mart, but it contains multitudes inside. The ambiance is modern and even a touch hip; the service is professional and warm. But of course the most important thing is that the food is DELICIOUS. We ordered a ton of dishes, but the absolute standout was the bulgogi fries with juicy, tender, and flavorful meat. The rockfish was also scrumptious, a symphony of salty and sweet, crunchy and moist. We went with our toddler, and even though we stuck out like a sore thumb in such a hip establishment, the staff were nothing but welcoming and accommodating. I can't wait to nab a reservation for a return visit soon! read more

Oh my goddddddd this place is toooo good it's obscene. I went for the first time last week and have already had to go back. It was just as good the second time. The staff is super nice, its got a nice chill ambience. It was a bit cold, to be honest. But overall very intimate and hasn't been super packed when I've gone. As far as the food goes, honestly words don't do it justice. We brought some friends to try it. We were chatting and catching up but once the food hit the table the only thing that was said was "this is so good" on repeat, from everybody. The flavors are just so balanced and interesting. I haven't had a single bad thing. The fried cauliflower was amazing. The red curry nachos were probably my favorite, the pork belly nachos were really good. The gyoza and dimpling were also quite good. The bulgogi is nice and spicy, I love it on the sliders although it wasn't as good on the fries in my opinion. The truffle fries are yummy. I didn't try the ramen but my friend seemed to really enjoy it. We also have a vegetarian friend who got the avocado rice and said it was amazing and surprisingly filling. She said she was going to try to start making something like it herself at home. The almond cake wasn't my favorite. But I LOOOVVEEEDD the churro guava cheesecake, and I'm not a coffee drinker but everyone was raving about the affogato. The food can be a little pricey, but I'm happy to pay a little more for amazing food, and this is definitely worth the price. Would highly recommend read more

I loved the food! Tried the Aguachile oysters, poke tacos, and birria eggroll. Everything was delicious.

Celebrated my birthday dinner with awesome food and drinks. This is my 2nd time at the restaurant, definitely will be back for more. The service has been outstanding each time! Love this place! read more

We drove for 45 minutes in horrible traffic to come here for dinner and I'd do it again in a heart beat! This place was amazing! The food was soooo delicious, and our waiter (wish I remembered his name) was fantastic! It's a little nicer on the inside than I realized which was nice! It's great for a date night! We love Asian fusion restaurants. Eventually we'd like to move further north and I know this will be a place we will frequent if so! All our friends up north are currently obsessed with this place. Highly recommend! I don't have pics cause I only took videos but it'll be on my instagram soon @annies.eating.again. read more

Gochujang chicken wings was out of the world. We haven't found good tasting wings in a while. Juicy, crispy and tender at the same time. Just brilliant taste. Wings were overpowering so everything else felt a little less spicy. Coconut red curry was also good, creamy and juicy. Kalua pork rice bowl had a combination of rice. Carrots, pickles and mac and cheese. Ambiance was just right. Music wasn't too loud. read more

Came in with a bigger group and was able to try a lot of the menu. Everything was overall very good. My favorite app was the wonton tacos, very fresh and light. The oysters were also delicious. The short rib was delicious, cooked perfect and had a great sauce. Cheesecake dessert and a coffee was a perfect way to end the meal. Our server was excellent, paired with a cozy ambiance. I will for sure be back and would recommend to anyone. read more

I visited for the first time for SRW and I left so satisfied and an absolute fan of Bar Dojo! The special was $50/person for a 3 course meal. We tried the fried tofu and hamachi appetizers; the short rib fried rice and octopus entrees; and the almond cake and lychee creme brulee for dessert. The portions were very generous that we ended up taking home almost the entire short rib meal, because we knew we wouldn't be able to have any dessert if we ended up eating all of that. Honestly, I would probably just come back for the creme brulee. On a busy Sunday evening, there were only two servers covering at least 15 tables. They were extremely efficient and clearly working very hard. The amazing service and delicious food definitely warrants 5 stars. read more

The restaurant fit me in on. Thursday night at the bar. The servers were all very friendly, nice, and attentive. I ordered their signature Crab and Poke bowl. The crab was a good sized piece and deep fried very crunchy. The avocado rice on the bottom was to die for! So unique and delicious. The tuna poke was pre-seasoned and was light and tasty. The dish was good overall but it lacked a light poke or tempura sauce. It did come with a tamarind sauce but it was too salty to pour over the salad or dip the crab in. So it was just a bit dry. read more

Wow. This place deserves a "holy Batman!" because it blew me out of the water. I have had it bookmarked for awhile but finally had a chance to order today. Usually I wait awhile to leave a review so I can ruminate on the experience UNLESS there is no need to ruminate and it's a "best ever" kind of spot. This place is a truly unique and deserves recognition. Their menu is inspiring and you can smell the aroma of what they are cooking just sitting in their parking lot. Today I ordered the avocado salad, mushroom and tofu bowl, ahi poke nachos, and okonomiyaki fried rice with crab. I almost didn't wait to bring everything home before digging in. The scents wafting up from the takeout boxes were so tempting!! Alas, I was patient and photographed everything second before diving in. What to report?!...EVERYTHING WAS ON POINT! The mushroom and tofu bowl was unique in flavor with plenty of umami and good texture mixing. The ahi poke nachos were flavorful and came in a very generous helping size. This appetizer could easily feed 3-4 adults. The okonomiyaki with crab was probably my favorite dish. Full of flavor and a beautiful blend of bonito flakes, sauce, and crab I could probably eat this on the daily. I can't wait until indoor seating is allowed so I can eat here with friends but until then I will be back for takeout for sure! Their menu changes frequently so be sure to go to their website for the most updated version. You can also order online there for the fastest service! read more

Had brunch here and it was AMAZING!Food is creative, plating was awesome, service was excellent!

We were hungry in Edmonds so of course we pulled up Yelp and found that this place had great reviews. We got here a little bit before 4 and was going to wait a few minutes before heading in but right at 4PM cars pulled in and people were heading in immediately. We jumped out and headed in. Our waiter was kind and the restaurant was nice and clean. Ok now here for the important part... it's true. THE FOOD IS BOMB. *chef's kiss* wow, just wow. Everything was hot, fresh, spicy and just everything you would want out of a satisfying dinner. Get everything on the Happy Hour menu. The wings, the tacos, sliders, dumpling. Get it all! We'll be back! read more

Second time to Bar Dojo and it didn't disappoint. We had the pork belly nachos, bulgogi fries and the burger (didn't get a chance to snap a pic of the burger. Service was great!....before the pork belly nachos came, while enjoying our drinks, I noticed something off or different. Not sure if there was music playing during our first visit, but there was no soft music playing in the background last night. That just made it weird for me. ‍ you could hear the chatter from other tables, which was fine, but it seemed like there should have been something playing in the background?! lol read more

I love finding little hidden gems everywhere. We usually don't come to this area since we live in Kirkland, but we were meeting someone in the strip center here. Since it was dinner time, we decided to try Bar Dojo. Due to COVID, we are always wary about eating out but they had partitioned an outdoor patio seating. So basically we had our own private dining area which was pretty cool. For our appetizers we had oysters on the half shell and the pork gyoza. They were really good and the oysters were really nice and fresh. The Pork Gyoza was cooked perfectly and the sauce was really good. For dinner we ordered the Birria Ramen, Pork Belly Nachos, and Braised Short Rib. The Birria Ramen was good and flavorful. My husband really enjoyed the flavors. My son had the Pork Belly Nachos. They were really good nachos and had nice chunks of pork belly in it. They were really good! The best dish of the night though had to be the Braised Short Rib. It was so soft and succulent. The sauce was just perfect and it was served on a bed of Risotto which was cooked perfectly. We live in Kirkland, but this was a meal that we may just have to make the trek out there to have again. Highly recommend this place. I'm excited to try other dishes as well. read more

The worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. On arrival I asked to purchase an alcoholic beverage and dumplings, once I provided my ID to the employee she had looked at it and proceeded to tell me I was not of age to purchase alcohol. I had celebrated my 21'st birthday last year in September and I am turning 22 this year. The "born before" sign had not updated to say 2004 for the new year so the lady had mistakenly thought since the sign said "march 29'th 2003" I was born in September thus making me 20 years of age. After asking the employee to subtract 2025 - 2003 I had told her I am turning 22 this year. Instead of realizing the mistake on the sign and doing the quick mental math she insisted I was not of age and had told me to step aside while she calls for her manager. It then took her manager 15 minutes to arrive and survey the situation, mind you, I had an empty beer can in my hand that I had bought from a different bar in lumen field THIS ENTIRE TIME. The manager then pointed out that they don't take vertical ID's (which is fine as I have not had the chance to get my horizontal and some places have not accepted my vertical) however I still had to tell the manager the sign was off a year and was not updated for the new year. The manager did not reciprocate my complaint about the sign and instead called alcohol control to come over and investigate. Once AC came over the first thing HE said was "It seems like you're a little wobbly and that is why they didn't serve you" which is a gross lie that completely overlooked the initial issue of not being served due to the employee not recognizing my age. The only positive thing that happened in this encounter is the manager telling AC that I was not too intoxicated and explained the issue. AC and the manager after reviewing THREE forms of identification (CAC card, PPL, and vertical WA ID) finally agreed I was of age and cleared me. After a total of 35 minutes waiting for this to resolve I politely urged them to change the sign to 2004 and did not purchase anything. read more

Being diagnosed with celiac, I'm extremely picky about eating out. We were in town for a soccer tournament and I was craving some Yakisoba. Asian cuisine is my go-to for GF options most of the time. So I searched around our hotel and found this spot. Man, it was BOMB!! I have found GF Bulgogi in my home town so it's been quite awhile since I had it. The tacos were absolutely on point! Juicy, spicy, full of flavor. The Bulgogi rice bowl was super good. I wish I had ordered a second one to go for lunch the next day. The Yakisoba was very good as well. If I was going to nitpick anything, it would be that the Yakisoba needed some more sauce. But it was a very minor miss. We sat at the bar, our bartender was great! We don't drink often and he helped my wife select the perfect wine for our meals. I will go back the next time I'm in town. No question. read more

I came here twice for dinner during a recent trip. My first visit, I was pretty hungry and ordered the pork belly tacos and the Thai chicken lettuce wrap. One order would have been enough. They are three large tacos. The pork belly was a little dry but the Thai chicken lettuce wrap was great. Full of flavor! On my second visit I ordered the Thai chicken again and an order of the pork dumplings. The dumplings are steamed. They are good but very spicy. I would order that again but maybe with the sauce on the side for dipping the dumpling. read more

We were really disappointed in our last visit to Bar Dojo. My wife ordered her favorite, the Pork Belly Bowl. The recipe has changed, as it is now incredibly spicy and the ingredients did not seem to be what they were over the last few years. I was happy to see that Grandma's Braised Beef had returned to the menu after many months. Unfortunately, it was also very different from its original version and was also really spiced up. If that is to be the new direction, we may not return. wc read more

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and really loved it. Simple an unassuming spot but so classy and has an awesome experimental menu (with lots of vegetarian options too)! We've been here once before but it seems like the menu has changed- there's a lot more Asian/Mexican fusion dishes like the birria ramen I had. The consummé was excellent but my noodles stuck together, and one of us got the red curry which wasn't as flavorful as it looked. The service was amazing though, and the birthday boy got a free scoop of gelato! read more

I always enjoy coming here. They had HH on a Sunday night so we ordered a bunch of drinks and food on the HH and regular menu. We loved the calamari, pork sliders, and pork belly nachos. The wings were too spicy for some and the brussel sprouts were not very flavorful in the sweet chili sauce. I prefer them blasted with garlic. But I'm never disappointed with most of what I get so keep going back. read more

My husband and family have always been fans of Bar Dojo. However, what makes it more special now is one of their servers, Chad Hofland. Chad used to work at Salt & Iron and we honestly frequented that restaurant regularly just to be served by Chad. He is by far, the best server we have ever known - we are big foodies. His customer service is impeccable and he remembers everything, what your likes and dislikes are down to what my particular drink is! He left S @ I and we lost touch for a while and lo and behold, I went to Bar Dojo for a business dinner and boom, there was Chad! Thank goodness, my hubby and I are back in "The Chad Zone" again and will make Bar Dojo a more frequent hang out. Food is always amazing and now they have a top notch sever on their staff. Do yourself a a favor and go to Bar Dojo and ask to be seated in Chad's area. You won't be disappointed! He is not just our server, we consider him a wonderful friend and family! read more

My husband and I had reservations for 6pm on Friday. We were seated quickly and our waiter came within minutes to take our order. It was a busy night but we never felt like the service was slow. We had oysters and dumplings for apps, and the bao and beef bulgogi bowl for dinner, and the passion fruit cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. Our waiter was quick to clear our plates and bring our next course. Great place for date night. We will definitely be coming back to try more things on their menu! read more

Came here for my husband's special birthday and it was a great pick. Service: 5 star. Our server was amazing, great mix of professional and friendly. Made us feel like we were in a fancy restaurant even though it's in a strip mall - you forget that when you're in the restaurant. Ambiance: Dark decor, definitely not strip mall vibes, more toward fine dining. Small - so definitely make a reservation or get there really early. The food: The so-so: Brussel Sprouts from the happy hour menu - meh - I don't think I could get this again, it was heavy and lacked complexity in flavor. The good: Pork Belly Nachos - love the pork belly twist on this dish - my son really liked it. Avocado rice - I wish I would have ordered the regular rice. It's not that this wasn't good, but it was almost a side dish as opposed to a canvas for the other dishes. Gochujang Chicken Wings - These were good - pretty standard, sticky, heavy - but they are supposed to be overloaded with flavor - I would get this again. The amazing: Coconut Honey Walnut Prawns - this was the surprise winner for the day. Yes, it's pricy, but worth every cent. So light and crispy, flavorful - this is not the traditional Chinese restaurant Honey Walnut Prawns doused in mayo - NO, this is a masterpiece of plating and flavor and texture!!! Short Ribs on sizzling platter: This was on the menu for the day so I don't know what it was called, but it was Korean flavored - loved it - would order this again. Recommendation: Definitely go, lots of great options on the menu - take a stab in the dark - you'l probably land on something good, but definitely order the Coconut Prawns - you won't regret it! read more
