The restaurant itself is so beautiful, the previous owners had the building looking dark and gloomy. The restaurant now is so full of light has nice music playing and it's gives high end vibes. The service was lacking. We did have a big group of 6 (4 Adults/2 Childeren), a waiter took our drink order and got confused because there was unclear communication with another waitress who was actually going to be handing our table. Also we were not able to get refills for quite some time (nearly the end our meal). We dealt with 4 staff members for our table during our experience mostly just to come pick up plates. One waitress said everything is okay and just walked away. Kinda of bizarre because we wanted to ask for refills. The food was very disappointing. The advertising is very misleading. You expect a little more variety for a "buffet" style salad bar. Everything was cold, even the food that was in "warmers" was barely warm. The breads they offered were all hard and dry. The two pastas they had were okay. The meat carving station is not self serve and there was a lady who was very rude about letting that be known. The meat at the carving station is very dry. I really wanted this restaurant to be a hit because it's in a convenient location and the way it's advertised online is very nice and gives off a totally different impression than what I actually experienced. Basically, it's a very overpriced bistro. If you're looking for a bigger variety salad bar just make the drive to Golden corral or up the mountain to Chukchansi. This one is definitely not worth the $200+Tip that we paid. Also, two members of our party were sick for a few days after eating there. read more

Was super excited to take my family after hearing it was like my childhood favorite sweet tomatoes! They had a good variety of different items, the mac & cheese was a little bland, but other than that, everything was delicious read more

Nice and informative servers! Good food! I appreciate the explanation of options! Will absolutely go again

We had such a wonderful experience at Dosan Restaurant! The food was perfectly prepared, the hospitality was outstanding, and the ambience created the perfect setting for my soulmate and I to enjoy a loving night together. It's so refreshing to finally find a buffet that feels like freshly served food; every dish was delicious and tasted made-to-order. If you haven't been yet, you need to stop by. read more

Dosan A Social Eatery - New American Near Me - Clovis, California

I was really excited to try Dosan Clovis, especially since it was described as a mix between the old Silver Dollar Hofbrau and Sweet Tomatoes--two local favorites with big reputations to live up to. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The salad bar was pretty basic, and the carving station only offered two meats, both of which were very dry. There was also an appetizer bar, but most of the food--like the mac and cheese, jalapeño poppers, and scalloped potatoes--was cold. I understand it can be tough for a new restaurant to gauge traffic and get everything running smoothly, but maintaining proper temperature on both hot and cold items should be a top priority. I truly hope they can work out these issues, because the concept has great potential and Clovis could really use a place like this done right. read more

Absolutely loved our experience at Dosan Social Eatery! Such a fantastic spot for families and social gatherings. We loved the variety of options -- from sit-to-order meals to the fresh salad bar, there's truly something for everyone. The cocktails were amazing, and the atmosphere was welcoming, stylish, and comfortable. Perfect for family dinners, friend dates, or celebrations. We'll definitely be back! read more

Restaurant is nice and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. The acoustic in the place could be improved. Baby yelling a cross the room was like they were at our table. The slice meat was great. But the rest of the buffet was lacking. Pizza solution was only 2 types and dry. The deserts was picked over, and there was nothing left. Starts at $25.00 with drinks at $4.00. I am going to pass on coming back. read more

Very nice folks. Great salad bar. Some side pasta dishes, fair tasting. Dry turkey, roast beef was fair. Rice pilaf was a little rubbery, some crunchy bites. Not soft and tender. Not a lot of flavor. Just ok desserts. Only 3 choices, the cake seemed not fresh, dry. Hardly any patrons, Saturday night. Can't say I'd return, great idea for a restaurant though. read more

Well I must start off with the food we came with a party of six, 2 toddlers,2 teenagers, and 2 adults. At the beginning we were promised chicken wings only to be seated and told we had to pay extra? Not only that we also had to pay for drinks. The pizza tasted like it was a frozen pizza, I must say the only reason there is one star is because it had a delectable salad bar. read more

I went here with my sister and was blown away, not at all what I was expecting. The inside is absolutely beautiful perfect for events! The prices were great and the food was delicious. read more

Loved this place. Still new but will definitely be getting a hook into the community. Great dining ambiance. Full bar with a divided area as to not take away from the dining area. Nice salad bar with traditional toppings and a few Mediterranean items. Loved the quinoa topping. Hot food bar with Mac n cheese, mild buffalo wings, crispy crust pizzas and these yummy mini calzones filled with I believe to be spinach, artichoke and cheeses. Very addicting. They have a mini version of silver dollar Hofbrau type carving station. Fresh roast beef, turkey and pastrami stacked high on an au jus dipped French roll. Fresh mashed potatoes with real gravy and brats. A dessert bar with a variety of mini brownie bites and lemon bars as well as cookies and parfaits. The staff and owners were very personable. Beautiful warm de or with relaxing background music. And they make a realllllly good Bloody Mary! We will definitely be back. read more

We were there a little before 5 o'clock. The soup was so salty I couldn't eat it. They had chicken wings that were dried up. I think they were from the lunch time. The salad fixings didn't look appealing, but were ok, nothing that good. Overall it was not good. My husband did have the prime rib and he said it was good. 3 desserts to choose from, the pudding wasn't bad, but the cakes were dry. I did voice my opinion, and I got the impression they didn't really care what I had to say. There was a response of maybe he should refill the chicken wings. The waitress just ignored what I had to say. The restaurant did look nice, that's the best I can say for this place. read more

This concept could of been exicuted differently, one side of the restaurant was a luxury buffet, the other, a sports bar playing football on tv screens. I had a pastrami sandwich which had no flavor, I could taste the onions more than anything. The price also seemed a little high, 15.99 for just the carving station and 24.99 for the entire buffet. The waiter also wasn't very attentive, I asked for a diet soda and never got one. read more

Probably the worst dining experience I've ever had . The food other than the salad bar was terrible. Not recommending to anyone.

My wife wanted to check this place out yesterday (Sunday) for lunch. I drove by and there were maybe two cars in the lot. The building looks like a polished turd. Plants are dying, they painted over damaged wood paneling, 'Grand Opening' sign is old and sagging, etc. I asked my wife this question "If they can't take care of the business landscaping, remove the grand opening sign cuz it's been there for several months, do you really think they care about serving good food?" Took her to Sakura Chaya instead and we had a great lunch. read more

Food was mediocre. Pasta wasn't warm. There was some broccoli in the chafer that appeared burnt. No bread for the salad or soup bar. Environment was clean. Employees were great. read more

Looking for someplace new. I read the reviews online and decided to try this place out. The decor was very pleasing and felt inviting. Very roomy. Employees are very welcoming and friendly. You can pick to have the salad bar or add the carving station for total of $24.99 i think. We did the whole experience. They only had two types of soups. The pizza could have been warmer. There were only three types of deserts unlike the photos on yelp. Smaller banana pudding than the pictures, brownies and I think was carrot cake. They will make you a sandwich at the carving station if you prefer. Overall, it was very enjoyable with my family and I would definitely go again. read more

The food was terrible. Very poor selection of choices. Salad greens needed to be replenished. Salad dressing needed to be replenished and chilled. The carving station was pathetic. Serving shredded turkey, ran out of beef, no cranberry sauce, no gravy and when asked were told they ran out of the items. Poor selection of hot sides that were cold and desserts. Both of us got food poisoning several hour after leaving the establishment read more

Salad bar was very fresh with lots of choices! I miss having a good salad bar option since Sweet Tomatoes closed. Food choices were good. Deserts could of had more options. Too much chocolate for me‍ read more

We went at lunch for salad bar and was surprised how much it was, I figured at least $10 less but was told same price all day. My salad fixed my cravings, and husband tried the carving station ready beef and was to the dry side but they do give au jus to help. I'm glad we finally got a salad bar in clovis and hopes the establishment increases their menu to include more! The place had a warm feeling coming in and appeared there's others that are happy about this place too! read more

I went because I missed Silver Dollar and was looking for something just like it but it wasn't. The sliced beef that I tried with mashed potatoes and gravy was excellent!! The gravy is to die for!! Compliments to the chef! The turkey and the rest of the meats were also good. I am a gravy person and theirs is the best I have tasted. Definitely going back! The atmosphere was classy for a smorgasbord type of place and the staff were very friendly. read more

The hospitality was outstanding! The staff went above and beyond. They personally asked my kids what kind of pizza they wanted and even let them know when it was ready. The chef stopped by our table and was incredibly friendly. The pastrami sandwich is a must try! My husband was just in New York and ate at Katz's, and this pastrami was better. The ambience at night is beautiful. I know when people hear 'buffet' they get nervous, but that is not the case here. It feels upper class without the upper class prices. This is the perfect spot for families and couples watching their budget without sacrificing quality or ambiance. read more

Very good. Great atmosphere. It reminded me of the Old Fresno Hofbrau and Silver dollar. The chef was great

Service and ambiance was nice. Food needs improvement definitely. We should've known it wasn't going to be up to par when we went in and there was only one family there. Their plates were already cleared. The salad bar needed replenishing. There was wilted lettuce and the dressings were clogged and not cold. The pasta did not taste good. The meat at the carving station was super dry and leathery. Desserts and bread had been laying out for a while. We didn't go back for any seconds. We have been to hofbraus and Sweet Tomatoes. There was no comparison. If they want to make a better presentation, they may want to consult with the people who ran those businesses. We won't be returning read more

I was there at 1pm. Not sure I would recommend. Based on online descriptions I was hoping the place would meet everything I read. Desserts were not decadent, banana pudding, chocolate chip cookies, brownies? No. Carving stations did meet my expectations. Service was very good, loved the ambience. read more

Let me start with $25 no drink included for all you can eat cold meat! For that price I would expect full service.i was disappointed that this was not even close to good hofbrau food.Dont order the Reuben sandwich unless you want to waste food after a few bites.not what i expected at all.I WILL NOT EAT HERE AGAIN!!! Unless some major menu changes are made fast It is my belief that they wont last long so take my advice and enjoy a good sit down meal at your current favorite spot where you won't leave feeling ripped off read more

We went seriously hoping this would be a new buffet place to go to and we were seriously disappointed. We went on a Saturday evening and our first clue about the place should have been how empty it was. I have to say the best part about the place was the employees they were all very nice and friendly but the food definitely fell flat. I don't eat a lot of meat so I had a baked potato that unfortunately was cold and could tell it had been sitting for quite a while which was the same with the pizza it was very cold and not much to choose from. Also the pizza ran out and no one was replenishing it. The salad bar portion was ok there was a decent selection of toppings but some of the lettuce was wilted and turning that weird pinkish/orange color which means it's not fresh. There were dinner rolls and cornbread which were hard and very dry and the desserts section was very lacking and also extremely dry as they seemed to be sitting out for quite some time. My husband wanted some meats from the carving station and there was 2 people in line in front of him and I had to keep looking over to see if he was still in line as it took forever, he said they only helped 1 person at a time even though there were 2 employees there and they cut very slow, I couldn't imagine on a busy night how long it would have taken. He said the meats were flavorless and cold and the rice pilaf (which I did try) was also flavorless and hard. Having to pay $20 per person would be fine if the food was good but having to pay that for my kids who literally only got 2 slices of pizza and a couple desserts that they didn't eat was way too much. Overall it wasn't good and we won't be back which is too bad. read more

Salad bar is a quarter of what Sweet Tomatoes was....very limited options for salads...the meats - think tri tip n turkey (super dry meats, almost not edible)....best thing was the pizza...$25 per person is way overpriced for this place...oh and if your wanted meat - then its an extra $9...dont recommend this restaurant at all....2 down... read more

The restaurant was very clean/atmosphere and jazz music was great...Staff was on point & friendly... first I had the salad bar & it was very fresh/delicious, a lot to select from grate salad.. second I went to the area where they had the baked potatoes veggies, and they had some Mexican food items that I was not expecting at that restaurant.. which I believe they should leave off the menu ,and just keep with their theme of the old Fresno half brow, upscale food items, for the price.. my baked potato and sautéed veggies we're cold.. and third I went to the meat buffet.. I had the mashed potatoes and gravy, which were very delicious and warm, but ,I also requested a pastrami sandwich on a toasted bun with Swiss cheese it was tasty, but the meat was not very warm.. I asked for two thin slices of the roast beef, but the roast beef was dry... The desert area was nice. It had chocolate chip cookies/brownies and banana pudding, which was very good... I did not try any of their soups.. we were there for dinner at 5 o'clock.. so I don't know if we'll be going back or not. Like I said I was kind of disappointed that items were cold and the meats were either dry or not hot enough... read more

just came in to check the place out and had Gabrielle decide to show us around the place, decided to stay & loved it!! great service & great food for a buffet. also such a cute banquet area for a party read more

I agree with previous reviewer. I know that they recently opened and sometimes things aren't ready, but they didn't even have some basics handled. Save your money, you don't get value for what you pay. Salad bar was poorly maintained. No food labels on what was in the serving bowls. We were told the labels were being ordered. The serving tongs are too small and were often in the food bowls - disgusting's. Salad bar was not being monitored and refreshed as offerings ran low. For example, melon tray had grapes, cantaloupe and unripen watermelon. When we first arrived the tray was full and nicely laid out. Within an hour the cantaloupe was gone and the grapes were floating in water, the tongs were also in the tray and no one picked it up to clear away. We ordered coffee and waited and waited. Person finally came by and asked what we wanted drink and we said we had ordered coffee - she told us they don't have coffee, ok then ice tea is fine. 20 minutes later someone came by and said you ordered coffee why do you have ice tea? WHAT!!! We told the waitress we were told there was no coffee...oh, we will put a pot on for you!!! We had to ask for a refill on the coffee which was so strong we had to dilute it. Two soup containers - only one soup. Second soup came out about an hour later - and no soup ladle to serve it. Wait and waited - finally a ladle. Dessert ran out, very plain, poor selection and not freshly made. Brownies were dry, pudding in a cup used artificial whipped cream and tasted like hospital pudding. Yes, we did stay 1.5 hours - primarily observing. Beverage not included: Total bill $70 (which included tip and coffees). If it were good - we would not mind the price, but it was not a good value for the price. We know the cost of everything has gone up and will continue to go up and we recognize that opening a new restaurant can be risky, but if you are going to do it do it right and make sure you pay attention to the details. Offer a good product and you will get repeat customers. We asked several customers what they thought and they agreed - they will not come back. We will not be coming back. read more
