Quite unassuming from the outside (and even the inside, if I am being honest) Dokyo is an excellent spot to satiate cravings of a variety of Asian dishes. We popped in at lunch time and were sat straight away and provided both the lunch specials as well as the regular menu, both of which you can order from. We opted for the shin ramen and pork belly, both of which came out in a flash! The shin ramen is marketed as spicy, and while it was, I could have enjoyed it with even more heat. That did not take away from the flavor though, and the generous portion of dumplings, chicken, and an egg ensured I remained full to even beyond dinner time! The broth had a good depth to it and the noodles were cooked just right. As for the pork belly, wow! I highly recommend trying it out. Somewhat "light" it feels fresh yet filling all at once. The portion is huge, so sharing between two would be a full meal for each. The menu has such a wide variety to appease any flavor palette - from sushi to filet mignon, vegetarian to gluten free, there is something for everyone. I would love to return during dinner to try out even more options, as well as the craft cocktails, all of which look delicious! read more

We arrived right before the Sushi rush hour was going to end so we quickly ordered our go to rolls to get them in time. The spicy tuna roll was actually spicy so it made me super happy. The hubby doesn't eat fish but he enjoyed all 3 veggie rolls we ordered. The yellow tail roll was also yummy. The waitress suggested the garlic edamame which was also very good. The servers were helping each other out and both were very attentive. This is a great place for a dinner out! We will definitely be returning next time in Corpus. read more

Gwen was amazing! She was attentive and supportive of my food allergy. Sweet personality and just overall wonderful!

Seems like a good idea to make a reservation. We got lucky with a seat right away,but heard the wait time going up to 45 min.To me it seemed like a tight fit with seating. I thought the anime movies playing were a nice touch. We started with the calamari, but didn't eat it because it was overcooked there was no different in texture from the squid to the coating.The two specialty rolls were very good.Other things that stood out to me were the oysters and cocktails but we did not try either. read more

What a fantastic place! The vibe was really cool, and I absolutely loved my waitress--she was sweet and incredibly helpful. For drinks, we tried the lemon drop martini and the amazing paradise cocktail, and both were a hit! The firecracker appetizer was my favorite! I adore Hawaiian cuisine, and it reminded me of poke, which is one of my absolute favorites. I devoured every bite! For my main dish, I ordered the combo fried rice. It was just okay; I can't say I would order it again. It didn't taste very fresh, and all the meat was quite bland. All in all I will def be back to try the sushi! read more

Best sushi rolls in town! We loved it. They even give you a good size of seaweed salad! We will be going back.

Dokyo has become one of my go-to sushi spots in Corpus. The vibe is always on point with a great atmosphere whether you're grabbing dinner with friends or going on a nice date night. The service is always on point and helpful for recommendations across their wide selection. Their traditional nigiri is consistently solid and the fish quality stands out. I've tried quite a few rolls over time, and the Amigos Forever roll is easily one of my favorites. If you're into fried rolls, Dokyo has one of the best selections in town. The bulgogi is another dish I keep coming back for, super flavorful and always hits. Also worth mentioning: their cold-water oysters. They have a noticeably different flavor compared to most oysters around Corpus, which makes them a cool addition to the menu. Great food, great vibe, and plenty of variety. Definitely a spot I find myself returning to often read more

Considering the reviews, I was both underwhelmed and disappointed. I was excited to try out this restaurant, given that they have items listed as "vegan"' on their website. However, the "vegan fried rice" isn't vegan....it has oyster sauce and egg in it. On DoorDash they have an item listed as "vegan yakisoba" and the noodles are egg noodles....again, not vegan. The tofudo roll wasn't very good and after modifying the rice to make it vegan, it also was underwhelming. The server was very nice but it was clear he didn't understand what vegan vs vegetarian is. read more

Great atmosphere. Sat at the bar and has some excellent recommendations from the bar tender, Skyler. Started with the chef's special calamari oyster. This was by recommendation and has such a wonderful depth of flavor. Then tried the Chicken Shitake Gyoza (forgot to take a pic) which was such a wonderful small plate style teaser. Next enjoyed the sumo bulgogi fries which were out of this world. Finished the night off with another recommendation from Skyler of the house baked oyster. The presentation of the last oyster was fun and the flavor combination gave your palette a sense of good old comfort food without being too much or too rich. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling in the area or the locals. Go support this wonderful restaurant and amazing people!! read more

We got seated right away for our reservation, but that was one of the few things that went well. They forgot to bring us extra tofu for the soup. They forgot to bring the hot water for the tea. They brought out one of the 3 dishes and did NOT bring the other two out so we had to wait 10 minutes for all the food to be brought out BEFORE we began eating. The chicken tasted very rubbery so we didn't finish it. It was very loud in here and hard to hear each other. read more

Appetizers and drinks were good... all sushi was a PASS! Nobu chef must not be working??? Rice was mush and the fish on the rolls was fishy. Edamame was also repulsive! Overall pass, there's much better sushi at heb... which is sad. The more you eat the worse it gets... who can't finish sushi?! read more

Fantastic food, service, and cocktails. The geisha martini is an experience in itself, and delicious. We ordered the spicy garlic edamame, which was delicious. Our 3 rolls were each excellent.

I have been coming to Corpus for work weekly since January and I am so disappointed I did not find this place sooner! I have now been back here every week that I'm in town and look forward to it every time. This place is so clean and the staff is friendly every single visit. The Chicken Fried Rice has to be the best fried rice I've had it a very long time. The portion itself is huge for what you pay for. The rice is cooked to perfection and they even put a fresh egg on top. I also recently tried a few of the craft cocktails they have and you will not be disappointed in those either. I have not yet had the sushi but a few co workers did and thought it was great. The only downside for some is that the menu is on a QR code. They do have tablets available for easier reading as well. read more

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and we were utterly disappointed. We ordered 3 drinks, 1 appetizer, 1 entree ( they failed to mention the other one we ordered was still frozen 30 mins later), and 2 rolls and the total came out to $142 ??? The rolls were mediocre and the pork belly was not very good. The server was very nice but that was about it. He told me the spicy bulgogi was actually pork belly but the regular bulgogi is beef ??? A lot of confusion on the meal and coming as a Korean person, the korean food is not good. I felt really bad bringing my boyfriend here for his birthday. The star goes to our waiter. read more

One of the gals in our party is Korean and she said that the banchan is very properly prepared! Highly recommend the avocado bomb, ecstasy roll and New England roll!

We decided to come here on a whim one night for date night. We didn't know on Friday and Saturday's it was mainly reservations only...? Luckily we were able to get a couple seats at the sushi bar. It would have been nice to have a table, but we weren't complaining. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful! I wanted to try out one of their cocktails and she was able to pinpoint something I'd enjoy. She recommended the Monsoon. It had tequila, orange, lime, sangria, rimmed with black salt and an edible flower. The drink was delicious and strong, and the presentation was beautiful. I ordered a seaweed salad to start, a little disappointing. It was very little seaweed and more cucumbers which was odd to me. We also got complimentary miso soup, nothing too exciting about it. Most places I go to always seem to skimp out on the tofu... the waitress also recommended the gyoza and it was good. Never a bad choice. We ordered a ton of sushi. We were a little taken aback when ordering t the Dokyo Bridge. It feeds two people, a lot of food for sure. When we usually order these meals for two we kind of expect it to be served on a bridge... hence Dokyo Bridge. To our surprise it was just on a simple white square place, we usually enjoy the little details for the experience. It had nigiri, two rolls, and sashimi. On the menu it said it would have spicy tuna, but there was none of that on the plate. The fish was good. My husband also ordered the Kamikaze roll and he enjoyed it. Also got the Masago nigiri, and a couple more pieces of sashimi. The sweet shrimp wasn't good at all. Just my honest opinion. One thing that did annoy us was that our Dokyo "bridge" was sitting right next to me, and we assumed it was ours. It had been sitting for about 10 minutes or so, nobody claimed it until we asked our waitress where it was and the sushi chef pointed at it. He could have simply just given it to us.... It was just sitting there... Our waitress was sweet, she noticed we didn't finish our sushi so she packed it up for us and put extra ginger, wasabi, soy sauce, and chopsticks. Most places don't do little things like that when there's leftovers. read more

Myself and my partner visited Dokyo for a Friday night date. The vibes were good, music was loud but not too loud that you couldn't enjoy conversation. The lights were low but colourful. We split spicy edamame, the fresh paradise (daily special), queen mango (daily special), ebi and kani flash roll, California roll, and crab roll. Our food was great, it didn't take long to come out and was very flavourful. The service was also great, the server ensured we were topped on waters and came back to check on us frequently. The special rolls were a bit pricey but we will definitely return. read more

Great service and the sushi did not disappoint. Went during lunch and the Queen Mango roll and Mango Salmon Poke was so good! Will definitely be back when we are in town! My only thing I didn't like is during the day the one side of the restaurant we were sat on was very dark and dim. Overall a fantastic experience! read more

Great staff, great Covid precautions, sanitization, and temp checks. It's been around for a bit but we had not been able to stop by. Finally came in on a Friday at opening time, 5pm. Our waitress was super sweet and made great recommendations on our apps, drinks, entree, and dessert. We had the spicy garlic edamame, which was tasty. I can't recall the name of our drinks but both very well balanced and great taste. I know hubby had whiskey. Lol! We had a plate that was for two but I can't recall the name. It was pork that came with 5 small sides but definitely filling. Also had the fried cheesecake and it's a MUST TRY! If you are in the downtown area, you must definitely stop at this new gem. You won't be disappointed! read more

This was our 4th time to Dokyo and I was so excited for it. Sadly, it was a terrible experience. Our server was non-existant. Our food did not come out anywhere near the same time so we could not eat together and the food was just not good. We got the amigos roll and the pieces were so huge you had to cut them in half to eat them. The bulgogi came with no rice and hardly any beef. The chicken katsu was inedible. It was a first time for one of our party and sadly she did not get the good experience we have had before. If it was a second string chef situation, please train the person better. read more

Dokyo still turns out a good sushi experience. Their beef Don is a great options for non-bait eaters. The new management has changed the entire staff a couple of times. It has turned into "the place to be seen" more than a good sushi bar. Their prices are the highest in Corpus. The service has become unbearable and that's saying a lot there's days.

The atmosphere was really nice, kinda modern. We sat at the sushi bar and were able to watch them making all the rolls. That was pretty neat! Our waiter was eager to help us out and gave us some good suggestions on appetizers. The food was excellent, fresh and scrumptious! Down side, to be seated, they work off of reservations unless open bar seating is available. We came in and that was said to us however, there was another party that had come in and didn't have a reservation that was seated at a table/booth. They didn't have a reservation. We heard them say they didn't and then the staff sat them in an open booth. Kinda crappy for sure! read more

We were impressed the first few times we came. The place started out strong. We sat and got told that they were running out of sushi... we waited 2 hours to receive subpar rolls & I only say this because we came here a lot when it first opened. Their menu didn't match what was available either (not just from running out of sushi). I asked about a few rolls, and it wasn't an option (she said the menu was outdated). It used to be outstanding and authentic. The edemame was severely undercooked, so I can't even find a positive. It was really overpriced overall. The staff was kind, so there's that. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were not super impressed. The food and drinks were good but the service was slow. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our server and we were about to leave when our server came. Then after we ordered we saw our food ready on the bar top for a long time but our server didn't bring it to us until we waved her down and asked for it. I'm glad we went but we probably wouldn't go again. read more

My second time at Dokyo, I used to rave about this place and recommend it to anyone visiting. I'm not sure if there is new management but there has been a tremendous shift in the service and dining experience. Not only was the host greeting and service subpar, but we didn't receive one of the items we ordered that still showed up on the check. Unfortunately I can no longer keep this on my list of recommended spots for corpus visitors. read more
