Incredibly friendly staff who helped me pick out my whole order! I love the food options they have. Everyone in the place seemed very pleased with their meals. Love the outdoor patio as well. Food was delicious. The place is clean and spacious. read more

Ordered from here for lunch. Choose to pick up the food since it was close to work. The food was made super fast and the workers were very nice when I was picking up. The interior of the place looked really nice, so I definitely want to come back again and eat in! The hiroshima-yaki was so delicious! I got it with pork which did not disappoint. Will definitely be back again to try it either with tofu or shrimp. read more

DokoDemo - Hiroshima-yaki - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I've been on a MF QUEST for legit Hiroshima style okonomiyaki for like years of my life. Although the OG version has no seafood...many other places only give you the seafood option (sadistic!). At Doko Demo you can select your own protein! The place is unassuming and causal. No servers but the cashier/expeditor/mgr does park your plate in front of you. Theres a semi outdoor area that's street level and a main open dining area about 5 steps down from street level. There's one clean, low ceiling bathroom. *PSA for the ladies and gents sitting street level facing the sidewalk... your lower half's might be on display to the dining room, so be aware- Looking at you, whale tail! So, the food? Amazing. Best Chicky Karaage Ive ever had in my life! It was well seasoned and super crunchy. Beef bowl was plentiful with a slightly spicy fried rice. The beef was sweet and flavorful. The okonomiyaki was the star of the show! So many amazing flavors and textures! Sweet tangy sauce, noodles, cabbage, veggies, Japanese mayo, crunchies all prepared to delicious perfection. Will be back! read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch, it was very empty and quiet. First thing, very limited menu option, there's no appetizers. There are also no water cup that day because they ran out of cups. The fried chicken was pretty good, it was seasoned and juicy and crispy. The ramen fried rice on the other hand, was very disappointing. It was extremely salty, and under flavor in other aspects. The chicken that came with the fried rice is unseasoned compared to the rice. Overall, it was not a memorable meal. Price wise, it was a little pricey. Two items with no extra topping plus 15 percent tip run us about $32 as of April 2023. read more

I'm a big fan of takoyaki and had Dokodemo bookmarked for a while now. Was around St Marks area today and came on a whim for lunch. Not busy at all on a Saturday afternoon at 12pm. The first thing I noticed about the takoyaki was the small size. I can't seem to justify paying nearly $10 for this. I would be more comfortable with a price tag of $5.99 or maybe if they gave 10 balls instead of 8. Other than that, the takoyaki was better than others I've had in NYC. Could use some bonito flakes on top for a more authentic feel. My cousin ordered the ramen rice which he said was tasty, but the dish served did not match the display picture so he felt kind of mislead. I would come back again if I get a craving, but probably order something else for a better bang for my buck. Note: I did not see the sukiyaki omlette for sale. They replaced it with a burrito. read more

DokoDemo - Takoyaki and Ramen Rice - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I had the fried chicken bowl, ordered at 8:05pm on a Friday night. Wasn't crowded at all. After 30 minutes, I got up to remind them that I hadn't received my order. Finally received my food when the place was closing, and I was sent home with a to-go bag. The staff were polite and the food was reasonably priced. But the wait was egregious. Maybe they found me annoying. If I go back and have a positive experience, I'll take down this review. read more

Food here was EXCELLENT. Food was flavorful and came out piping hot. Food is meant to be shared. The space was inviting with the wooden furniture. Order at the front and seat yourself. Was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and would come again. read more

We didn't have high expectations given it was in a college student area and prices were cheap. However, the food was extremely salty and barely had any other flavors. The takoyaki was covered in too much sauce, and I couldn't taste anything else. The yakisoba was not very good and very simply stir fried in soy sauce. Picking up your order was pretty confusing because they call out the food item, but there's only 4 things on the menu.. We asked if it was our order number, and the guy was kind of rude. Seating, ordering, and the vibe was very college cafeteria-like. If the food was better, I wouldn't have minded.. read more

DokoDemo - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

It was my first time trying DokoDemo so I didn't have many expectations going it. I ordered online and thought they'd pack it to-go for us to takeaway. When I got there, I was greeted by three men who were super friendly and welcoming. I told them we ordered online and he asked if we wanted to eat in or take-out. Given the option, I, of course, chose to eat in. Although we ordered ahead, they haven't started prepping our food yet, which was okay since we weren't in a rush. We ordered the takoyaki and beef yakisoba. It took a while since it was made fresh. The yakisoba was good, but the beef was the star. It was juicy and tender and the yakisoba was very flavorful. The takoyaki was good as well but wasn't spectacular. It oddly came with a pita on the side which I like but was kind of weird. Instead of bonito flakes, it came with some kind of rice krispy, which I don't prefer. Bonito flakes make takoyaki delicious! Sad that it didn't come with any. Overall, the shop was very nice and cozy. The people there were friendly. The food was good, but a bit pricey. read more

Overall a really good simple Japanese street food restaurant. Their menu is consist of 6/7 simple dishes from okonomiyaki, takoyaki, yakisoba, karagae and maybe a couple more items -- which I like, it's not overwhelming. My friends and I got the okonomiyaki and takoyaki to share, I got the karagae rice bowl and my friends all got the yakisoba, sweet (according to the gentleman that was assisting us, sweet is the traditional Japanese style). We were all fairly happy with our dishes. The okonomiyaki and takoyaki were delicious. My friends seemed to enjoy the yakisoba, my karagae was decent but I've had better but it was not bad and the fried egg was a nice touch. My biggest complaint would be that the spicy was not at all spicy. I actually couldn't taste the spicy at all. Price was on the medium to high scale for the portion; from what I can remember, nothing on the menu was over $10. read more

This place is quite affordable and offers a variety of Japanese food (from yakisoba to okonomiyaki), but the taste is more or less mediocre. You order at the front, and they make the entire thing for you, and then they call your number and you pick it out from the front. I had the okonomiyaki with pork, and it was just okay. The variety of toppings usually available was limited, and in our case they didn't put it on top, and just on the side. It tastes okay, if you kind of want to hit the spot for it, but it's not anything really all that good or special. read more

DokoDemo - Okonomiyaki with Pork - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I was in the mood for takoyaki and found this place on Yelp. Since it had a whopping 4.5-star rating, I was very excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of those situations where I really regretted relying solely on the Yelp rating. It's a pretty cool and laid-back spot that's good for chilling with a group of friends. That being said, tiniest bathroom I've ever seen. I was fairly amused by that actually. People who work there were nice, including the guy who made my takoyaki, but he seemed like he was in a rush to complete my order. Maybe it's because I had already waited for 15 minutes? I appreciate the sentiment but in hindsight that could be why the octopus balls were super undercooked. I couldn't even pick any of them up without them falling apart one by one. Apart (haha) from the disappointing texture, the taste alone was okay. Saucy, and otherwise not much to say. Honestly, I'm perplexed by the high rating. It did occur to me that it could be a one-off event and I should order something else next time, but very unlikely that I'll be back. read more

DokoDemo - Takoyaki - 8 intact octopus balls before they fell apart one by one at the touch of a utensil. - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

This place is perfect for some causal Japanese street food. I've tried many of their dishes before and my favorites remain the okonomiyaki and takoyaki. The okonomiyaki is sort of like a Japanese pancake made with flour, eggs, cabbage and some form of protein. You can add different toppings such as cheese, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, or veggie. I usually go for the chicken. The pancake itself is very savory and filled with flavor. There are different sauces on the side that you can dip it into as well. The takoyaki is delicious as well. The softness of the takoyaki itself balances very well with the crunchy toppings on top. Would recommend. read more

Walked past this place so many times and finally decided to check it out! The interior is super simple with a few tables and stools against the walls to sit. There are a few semi-outdoor tables as well, all first come first serve. You just order your food and look for open tables, no waiters or anything. Based on how reasonable the price was my husband and I expected the portions to be small, but we were pleasantly surprised when our dishes came out. They give a good amount of food for the price. We shared 2 dishes and tried the takoyaki and we were stuffed! One dish we ordered were the yakisoba noodles with chicken- and WOW. This was definitely our favorite dish. It had a great kick to it and was so flavorful, definitely recommend. The next dish we got was the fried chicken bowl, this was also great! It had kind of a sweet taste and the chicken is served over rice which was so good. And lastly we tried the original takoyaki, it was definitely different. I think we weren't expecting the texture to be so squishy lol but it was still good. Might try the mushroom takoyaki next time cuz idk how we felt about the octopus. But overall, we had a great time here! The staff was even so nice. Definitely a great place for quick, good, adorable food! Will definitely come back (: read more

Looking for Japanese street food? Here's the place to go. The okonomiyaki takes a while to make, but it is well worth it. With all of the dishes here (except the takoyaki), you are allowed to choose your protein so it's also a great spot for vegetarians. Definitely give the takoyaki a try too! The place is casual. You order upfront and pick it up when they call you. Sit anywhere you want. There's also a water station by the window or you can purchase a soft drink. There is a bench (but no table) outside so you can eat outside. read more

DokoDemo - Okonomiyaki with chicken - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped in for a quick takeout on my way home after a workout class. Decor is simple but cute with its large wooden tables. You can also see them cook the takoyaki and all the other food behind the glass counter (great way to entertain yourself while you wait for your food to arrive). I ordered the classic takoyaki and the large fried chicken. I decided to take a small bite for a taste instead of just packing things to go. Probably not the best decision in hindsight because everything was so freaking good that it took all my willpower to not inhale my entire order right then and there. I swear, if I didn't have a hungry man waiting for this food back home, all of it would have been gonezo before I ever step out of the restaurant. The takoyaki was delicious - I love the bite of the tender octopus filling. The fried chicken is, hands down, one of the best Japanese fried chicken I've ever tasted. Perfectly crisp skin that's not over-fried yet the inside manage to stay moist and tender. There's also this nice crispy fried rice on the bottom - makes me want to order their fried rice next time. Everything was perfectly seasoned also - Unami bomb with just the faintest tinge of sweetness. And everything was also very affordably priced. This has become my new go to for an Asian treat after workout. I can't wait to try the other items on their menu! read more

DokoDemo is a small shop tucked away in St. Marks where I believe the owners/employees are Japanese from reading prior Yelp reviews. They were super welcoming and have accommodated both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is quite simple but the theme DokoDemo seems to have is for simple Japanese comfort food and they definitely get 10/10 stars for that with their takoyaki. They make it fresh right in front of you and wow is it delicious. Please don't delay in eating them and just savor every bite while it's hot. I can't describe exactly how takoyaki tastes but what I will say if you've never tried it and want to, definitely visit DokoDemo because their takoyaki precedes any other versions I've had. I definitely see myself visiting with friends and trying the okonomiyaki and yakisobabas well. read more

Found this perfect japanese bar upon yelp research and could not wait to try this place, so I decided to check it out after work. They sell japanese style street foods that are very affordable in price considering NYC. I ordered 2 Octopus Takoyaki ($8.95 each, recommend) and Shrimp Soy sauce yakisoba ($11.95, little bit salty for my taste), as well as Kara-age ($8.95 recommend) with 3 beers ($6.95 each) which came out to be ~$70 including tip and tax. I recommend checking this place out if you want japanese street food with some beers:) read more

Dokodemo is probably my favorite Japanese restaurant for Takoyaki in New York City. For those who don't know what a Takoyaki is imagine a savory pancake ball filled with bits of octopus and vegetables. Its comes piping hot and smothered with mayo and a sweet teriyaki-like sauce. Dokodemo has an intimate interior with dim lighting and a food stall vibe. The Takoyaki is made to order in front of you. With the prices being about 9 dollars for a set of 8 takoyaki balls it's competitively priced with the other Japanese restaurants. The only difference with the takoyaki here and the other restaurant would be that this is the only place, that I know of, that makes their takoyaki from scratch. I tried the original flavor as-well as the wasabi Mayo flavor. The original was delicious as always and the wasabi Mayo had a slight kick. The wasabi flavor wasn't overwhelming thus adding a nice touch in flavor. Dokodemo is always on my list when I visit NYC. read more

This is the best takoyaki I EVER had! The tempura flakes add amazing texture that separates it from the classic mushy runny batter. They use all the traditionally used toppings as well: takoyaki sauce, Japanese Mayo, Bonito flakes, parsley, pickled red ginger. Compared to other takoyaki places, they have added LESS bonito flakes and their flakes are crushed, maximizing the Smokey flavor and minimizing the trouble of eating bonito flakes. What makes DokoDemo stand out from the other restaurants and bar restaurants is their affordable street food menus that satisfy late night cravings in every way possible and in the most optimal way; they make sure that the ingredients are nicely distributed to prevent one bite from being too different from the other! In addition, THEY HAVE WASABI MAYO! I highly recommend getting the takoyaki with wasabi Mayo on top OR on the side! So delicious and adds a kick to each bite read more

DokoDemo - The Original Takoyaki (8pc) - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Okonomiyaki literally translate = how you like + cooked but most importantly is a Japanese savory pancake. Dokodemo is a quaint, casual restaurant. Kind of like a fast casual because they have an assembly line of the sort and offer a lot of classic Japanese food options to eat like ramen, takoyaki, or okonomiyaki. Came here with a friend and was able to enjoy some okonomiyaki. Quite tasty with a lot of toppings and the mix was good. My only comment would probably be to use more egg and make it more pancake-y. There were so many toppings and mix ins that it made it hard for the pancake to not crumble apart. My friend got the takoyaki which was as good as anticipated. Little bits of octopus to munch on but the sauce and flavoring was all there. Great combinations and options for food. I think next time I come, I definitely want to try some of their other dishes like the ramen or the okonomiyaki wrap. Everything was also very affordable and quite filling. Would definitely suggest coming here for something quick and casual. read more

I came solely for okonomiyaki, but they took it off the menu because the chef who makes it is away. There is no mention of this on their website, so it was already a bad start. Stayed and ordered fried rice, fried chicken and takoyaki. Like i don't even know where to begin. Just don't go here. You can pay the same amount and get minimum double the quality at any other japanese spots in the eastern seaboard. best thing i had here was a bottle of water. seriously, WTF bro? makes me angry for the calorie intake read more

Yum! Quick service and tasty food at a great price. I tried the takoyaki made with shiitake instead of octopus because... well I've never had siitakoyaki before. It was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and a mix off all my favorite tastes and textures. Definitely recommend stopping by. Can't wait to try their ramen rice and yakisoba. read more

Wandering in NY and found this restaurant. Absolutely delicious chicken bowl and the right spices. Go here all the time. Perfect find.

My husband has been on a quest for the authentic Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. He doesn't love the seafood versions, so the fact that we were able to find a veggie-forward version, we had to try it. Not too conspicuous of a store-front, but you walk in and down the steps into the main eatery. Their name is painted in black on the back white wall. You order at the counter with the very friendly and helpful cashier (who also works as the expo and server). Needless to say a small business but def not small in flavor or service. You can peer into the skinny long hot-line of a kitchen and see the chef and his counterpart sweating away busting out the delish eats. Their menu is not too extensive, but what they serve is amazing. We ordered the Beef bowl, Fried chicken bowl, and the Hiroshima-yaki. The beef bowl came out first, served on a paper dish. The rice is light and fluffy and seasoned with some Japanese seasoning powder. The beef is super thin-sliced but with a delicate flavoring, but you get the taste of the beef mostly, accompanied by red pickled ginger and fresh shredded cabbage. The fried chicken bowl (which is like a karaage over rice) served with the same seasoned rice, but the fried dark meat chicken is sauced with eel sauce, kewpie and red pickled ginger. Also comes with half of a marinated boiled egg. The Hiroshima-yaki came out last, but it was steaming! Oval-shaped pancake omelette with stir-fried noodles and marinated chicken inside along with shredded cabbage and veggies. All topped with the eel sauce, kewpie mayo and bonita flakes. No shortage of red pickled ginger in this meal, and I was not mad at it. It's a small space, but they can bust out some great dishes. The service was stellar for how under-staffed they seem to be. It is definitely a repeat for us whenever we are in that area. Highly recommend trying everything! Good for groups or a date or even by yourself. Can't wait for the next time! read more

I hate to leave 1 star for this place because I used to love this place! It was my go-to yakisoba and okonomiyaki spot. I went back recently after a while (2 years) Unfortunately, their yakisoba had changed for the worst. They might change ownership. First off, the staff asked how spicy I want for my yakisoba. I felt off because I don't think Yakisoba should have spicy level?! From what I know Yakisoba should be salty, sweet, and tangy not spicy. (I know some people might want to add some spices like sriracha sauce but it should not be default) Second, when I opened the container, I was shocked to see something that doesn't look like Yakisoba at all! They changed from soba noodle to some thin flat noodle that I have no idea what the noodle was but I'm sure that it wasn't soba noodle anyone should use in Yakisoba. From the look, it looked more like Pad Thai (but it's not thin rice noodle that is used for Pad Thai neither) Third, they don't even put bonito flakes and mayo on top of my yakisoba Fourth, they add some veggies that shouldn't be in Yakisoba at all. Fifth, their yakisoba is too oily. I didn't taste any Yakisoba sauce. Not even, soy sauce taste. I only tasted oil. It tasted like noodle mixed with oil. Sixth, I ordered pork yakisoba and their pork was too fatty. I ended up throwing away more than half of it. You can easily compare the "yakisoba" I got with the pictures they posted on the @Dokodemonyc instagram account a few years ago and see how wildly different they are. I won't say this is the worst yakisoba because it's not even a yakisoba. Another thing that makes me think there's ownership change because they removed Okonomiyaki from the menu. The only positive thing is that the staff is so nice and attentive. But, I'm sorry to say that I won't go back to this place and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've had DokoDemo bookmarked for a while now. I'm a huge sucker for takoyaki and okonomiyaki. It's hard to find really good ones here in NYC - my bar is set very high from having it almost every day in Japan. I was craving takoyaki hardcore and decided to bite the bullet and make my way crosstown to try out DokoDemo. It was worth it. The takoyaki is so good!! It's mushy, soft, and gooey - just the way they do it in Japan. The okonomiyaki was A-OK in my opinion. The takoyaki is the star here. Staff was very nice and friendly when I couldn't finish my okonomiyaki and had to take it to go. Great people! If you're looking for some good takoyaki, DokoDemo is the place to go! read more

I got a very well seasoned okonomiyaki with strong flavors of mayo, sauce, ginger and lettuce. Its so very fresh! Pork addition is extra $0.75 but wow wow wow... worth every penny. It's not the dry stuff but the melt in your mouth kind of pork stuff that food dreams are made of. They sell an okonomiyaki burrito on the menu but you gotta ask for the okonomiyaki; which is not on the menu. I think it's like around $15 bucks but it is worth every succulent morsel of savory goodness. The portion was smaller than i wanted but was just enough to curb the hunger pangs. It opens at 11:30am I think and closest subway stop is F to 2nd Avenue or 6 to Astor place. If you want to pretend you are in streets of Japan without going there; this is the place in the city. Kind and attentive staff. read more

DokoDemo - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

DokoDemo is known for their yakisoba, rice and takoyaki (japanese octopus balls). I personally got their beef yakisoba. Ordering was super simple. I just went to the cashier, made my order and watched my yakisoba get cooked on the spot. When trying the food, I was quite surprised to taste a bit of a sweet kick. But other than that, it's a quick eat to keep you satisfied and the price is really not that bad for $8.95 for a decently sized plate. For the shop itself, it's a decently sized space (not too small, but not too big). There are two large rectangular tables with chair around it. There's also chairs along the wall. The seating is very casual. I do recommend Dokodemo for people looking for a casual environment, quick eat, no waiter service or just a place where you can eat alone without it being awkward. read more

DokoDemo - Beef Yakisoba - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

DokoDemo is pretty good for the price and really helped hit the spot when I was craving some cheap Japanese food. You get a sizable portion of okonomiyaki for $8. The takoyaki isn't bad either. I suggest getting an okonomiyaki per person, and a large order of takoyaki to share, or the half portion if you're eating by yourself. I ordered a pork okonomiyaki and four takoyaki. There's a fair amount of pork, which is placed on top of the okonomiyaki rather than cooked in. While this isn't the way I'm used to having it, I might start stealing this method as it allows for the pork to be perfectly done, not over or undercooked. Both the okonomiyaki and the takoyaki were tasty and I didn't think they were too overly salty - although maybe a touch so near the end. I love the sauce though so I wouldn't have it any other way. The kewpie mayo also helps mellow out the saltiness a bit. Unlike other takoyaki I've had, these balls come packed with cabbage. Both the takoyaki and the okonomiyaki had pickled ginger too. The only problem with both was that they fell apart fairly easily. I think it might be better to try and beat the batter more to build up a little gluten to keep it together? Or at the very least add a bit more batter. They've also got yakisoba and a yakisoba/fried rice mix which sounds perfect for any carb lover. There's also sriracha and togarashi out on the table if you want some spice. The biggest issue though was the lack of AC. Walking around the city in the summer already sucks and I was hoping to cool off while eating a late lunch but the lack of AC didn't really help (and the water wasn't ice cold either). It was bearable now, but it's bound to get worse later in the summer... read more

Saturday afternoon, not many people inside this easy-to-miss restaurant. Large counter to the side where you can order from the simple menu, with both seating indoors and outdoors. Decided on the Pork Okonomiyaki ($10) with additional spice ($0.50 extra), as well as a large format Sapporo ($6ish). Like the fact that they tell you in advance how long it's going to take (approximately 12 minutes). Food arrives on time, piping hot on top of the counter - a layering of veggies, sauces, and pork over a potato like pancake. Surprisingly not too oily and the flavors all worked well together. Disappointed in the spice level - I think they may have forgotten to add any at all - so had to use a bit of the table sriracha. Overall cool Japanese street food spot, especially during the warmer days when you can take advantage of the porch seating. read more

DokoDemo - Okonomiyaki - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

They serve more of a street food and simple teppanyaki-style food. It is actually a Japanese chain restaurant, and they have more than 90 locations throughout Japan. This is their first location outside of Japan. The inside is small but cozy, people kept coming in and out with the delicious aroma of food seeping out into the street. They have three large grills side by side, each specializing in different item: Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and Yakisoba. They also have some side dishes like matcha potato chips and Japanese cucumber salad. Each station is maned by one staff, and they cook everything to order. So, it might not be a fast-food place, but you get a piping hot food, straight off the grill. In order to get the best experience out of this visit, we ordered one of each main dish with different toppings. The portion of each are not huge, and with this fact, some might say the price is a bit high. And I do agree with that, but then again, the quality was really good too. So, the value worth would be up to the customer; do you focus more on the quantity, or more on the quality of the food. For us, it was a fun visit to DokoDemo. We enjoyed all the food here, much better quality than expected. The staffs were really nice, and they were all Japanese, which is excellent! They welcomed us with a big smile and enthusiasm. Again, the price point is high, but the quality of the food both in ingredients and flavor are high. read more
