Great experience at DosiiRoc. Coming from the West Coast, where great Asian restaurants are everywhere, this place was a very pleasant surprise. The food was authentic, delicious, and fairly priced--you can tell they care about quality. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in, with staff that were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The restaurant was also easy to find, and the ambiance was modern, minimalist, and very clean. Overall, DosiiRoc is the real deal and definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for great Asian cuisine.
This was my first time coming here and the food was absolutely delicious. The interior is very clean. I ordered the Kim Mari as an appetizer which is this tasty and crispy snack with glass noodles wrapped in seaweed and tempura. For my main dish I got the Tteok Guk which has rice cakes, egg drop, and beef in a broth. It's such a feel-good meal and it was flavorful with just the right amount of salt. I was surprised that I ended up finishing the entire bowl because it was massive. Service was very quick and I wasn't sure about how sweet the matcha chip frappe was going to taste so I asked for a little less sweetness. Then the staff came over to our table and let me try a small sample to see if it was to my liking. I asked if it could be a little bit more sweet and when the final drink came it was very delicious. That small act shows how much they care about their customers and I was deeply moved. I also love how they use Lactaid lactose-free milk, as I'm lactose-intolerant and usually can't enjoy these kinds of drinks at a lot of Asian restaurants. Super thoughtful. Def will be coming back here soon!!
Probably one of the best little fast food korean places in Rochester. Tried this place twice and each time, service was fast. There were just a few banchan dishes, but the food makes up for it. We tried a bibimbap and a creamy carbonara kimchi udon, both of which were tasty. It's a casual cafe area and great for a quick meal when you're shopping or in the area.
Stopped by to try this place right after it opened. Small cafe where you order at the counter, they serve you at your table, and you pay at the counter afterwards. Dishes are on the pricier side. We all got different coffee and fruit-based drinks and they were delicious. Side dishes were delicious but small and they only come with rice dishes - I'm not sure if they offer refills. We got a small tangsuyuk to share and it was good. The best dish was the bibimnaengmyeon. The sauce was wonderfully balanced and way better than any other place we have tried. We've added this to the rotation of places we hit up whenever we visit Rochester.
Great "new" Korean restaurant. Fast casual, order at the counter with a pretty expansive menu including rice dishes, noodles, Korean pancakes and stews. They also have a variety of drinks and coffees as well. I just went for lunch today and left impressed. I ordered their beef bulgogi bento box which came with a little bit of everything: bulgogi, rice, japchae noodles, salad, cucumber kimchi and pieces of pancake. Lots of food for $16. Also ordered the veggie pancake, tteokbokki and the fried mandu. My friend also ordered the Korean boneless fried chicken. Everything was good. Nitpicking a bit, but the pancake could have been a tad bit crispier. Also not used to having boneless chicken, but it was good (albeit white meat) and generously portioned as well. It was a great "first look" for me and I will definitely be back in the near future.
Top Korean restaurant in Rochester hands down. It is easily my favorite spot. I have already been here 3 times in the last week. Currently, I believe they have special hours for their soft opening, so I suggest calling or checking their instagram before stopping by to make sure they are open, especially if it's a holiday. I believe their current hours are 11am-2pm closed from 2-4 and open again from 4-9pm Tuesday-Sunday and closed on Monday. However, this may change as they staff up. Small note, they get busy on the weekends so either call before showing up to ensure you aren't surprised by how long it takes you to get your food, and I suggest ordering in the store, then taking a stroll by the nearby businesses and/or stopping by the nail salon. The service is so friendly and warm. I love how clean and organized the restaurant is. Sarah who works the front is just the absolute sweetest. She is professional and helpful if you are indecisive (like me). Food is authentic and you can tell it is homemade. I like how it isn't heavy and the ingredients are fresh. You can tell they don't cut corners like other restaurants. Honestly, I've been to all the other Korean restaurants here in town, and some are okay but others I could only take one or two bites before having to toss it out. I know that everything here is great, so go with your cravings or lean into your adventurous side and try something new. As someone who spends most of the time in California near my Korean mom, I love how now Rochester has this taste of my home away from home. I need to eat Korean food often to stay happy, so I am so excited for Dosiiroc's success and popularity.
The staff was really friendly. The ambience is casual. The menu is at first overwhelming. However, after you decide what you want the food came out hot and efficiently. The food was absolutely delicious. I will be visiting the restaurant again.
this local spot was recommended to me so I went with a few friends. Upon walking it the place is really quaint and clean but the staff that greeted us was so warm and welcoming! She took great care in listening to our parties needs (one has a shellfish allergy) and made sure everyone in the staff/kitchen knew so that they were comfortable and safe! We love when people take food allergies seriously! We sat at one of the tables and we given some banchan which was a nice mini appetizer prior to our meal. We also got the Korean pancake and tteokbokki as a starter and both were great! Our individual meals came out pretty fast and were great, very flavorful not overly spicy ! Overall really nice experience and definitely would come back again!
FINALLY, amazing authentic Korean food in a casual setting in Rochester! I visited with a friend on a Saturday for lunch at around 130 and it was busy. The name is a fun play on "도시락 (dosirak)," a Korean lunch box (similar to bento). Please note that they are in a soft open phase as I write this and are not fully staffed. We were told ahead of time it would be 45 mins to an hour wait to get food, but we didn't mind, because everything on the menu sounded so good! The mom and daughter team who own and operate DosiiRoc were very friendly and I heard them answering any and all questions people had about the various items. They have a huge variety of drinks (including coffee and lattes), small plates, and entrees. I ordered the bulgogi beef box (comes with two sides of the chef's choice, japchae [glass noodles with veg], salad, and rice) and gim mari appetizer and my friend got the tteokbokki app and dolsot bibimbap. Everything was SO GOOD! We also received several banchan (napa cabbage/baechu kimchi, radish salad [moosangchae], garlic sprouts, spicy cucumber [oi muchim], broccoli, and braised black beans [kongjan]), which is Korean for "side dish" and is complimentary with the meal. The bulgogi beef box was a ton of food and I had leftovers to take home. The banchan I received were potato salad and more oi muchim, my favorite. The beef portion was very generous. My friend loved her dolsot bibimbap (hot stone bowl) but wished there was a bit more beef. This is also the only place in Rochester that I know of that has gim mari, fried glass noodles wrapped in seaweed (gim) -- it is delicious and I highly recommend! One order came with five pieces. The tteokbokki was also generously sized and tasty. Lastly, we ordered peach ades and I also got a small can of sikhye, a sweet rice drink (just try it -- it's very good!). The ades are delicious and refreshing. I really loved everything I tried and am looking forward to coming back regularly! Like I stated before, keep in mind it's just the two owners right now and they're in soft open phase, so there may be some wait times and kinks to work out, but overall this place has amazing food.
Had a great experience here. Immediately after walking in, I was greeted by a very friendly gentleman. He explained, you place your order at the register, seat yourself with a provided stand with your order number, and your order gets brought to you. I decided to opt in for the Bulgogi DesiiRoc Box with an added fried egg. This box included the bulgogi beef, a couple sections of a Korean pancake, pickled radish, japchae, spicy cucumber salad, marinated bean sprouts and white rice. I found the portion size to be perfect. The bulgogi was flavourful alongside with everything else. The banchan were also great. As for her, she ordered a seafood pancake which is different from any Korean pancake I've had. Instead of being a very crispy batter all around, the consistency was bouncier and more mochi-like. This isn't a bad thing and is different but in a good way. Overall, a great experience and I would gladly return to try other items.
Solid Korean spot for Rochester, NY! The food was delicious, and the food came by very quickly after ordering. Service was kind, and the server had mentioned that her own mother was cooking in the back, which was a warm touch to mama's cooking Spicy Pork Bulgogi was tasty, and did have a little bit of a spicier punch to it. It complimented very well with the white rice, added with the Soondubu Jjigae. I wish the Dolsot Bibimbap had the crunch from the crispy rice on the bottom of the bowl, but unfortunately the bowl was probably not hot enough for the rice to crisp on the bottom. To order, you must order at the counter, bring your table number to your table, and then pay at the counter while bringing your table number after you are done eating. There are lots of seating options, so finding a table for 5 was not too difficult. read more
My experience at DosiiRoc was amazing! I found out that all the dishes are homemade recipes from the owner. I also found out that the translation of the restaurant's name, DosiiRoc, translates to "packaged meal" in Korean. They had a play on words as well as Dosii in Korean means city and Roc is the abbreviation for the Frederick Douglas Rochester International airport. The service was warm and they checked up on us at the appropriate times and provided great recommendations on food and drinks. As for food, they had your traditional Korean fare. From the packaged meals (bento box style) where they offered the traditional proteins like chicken, beef, spicy pork bulgogis, to bibimbop, and a variety of other dishes, it all tasted delicious. The dining area is open yet the nose didn't carry from table to table. It was fairly quiet even though there were a decent amount of customers by the time we at headed out. read more

Atmosphere: This place blew me away. The owner's daughter runs the counter where you order. The café is spacious and spread out. The food runner brings your food while it's hot. They also bus your table after you are done. Food: amazing in every way. The donkatsu was my far the star of the show. Get the whole order! The Korean fried chicken and the pork dumplings were my 2nd favorite dishes. The beef bulgogi was my 3rd favorite (don't get me wrong it was very good lol... but I'm ranking food here lol). The ban chan (little Korean sides) were so good. Please go now. You're welcome . read more

Soo delicious! This place is the perfect Korean cafe/restaurant I was looking for in Rochester. The green grape ade was so refreshing and there's a lot of flavors to choose from, in addition to the rest of the creative and unique drink menu. The black bean noodles (I accidentally dug in before I took a good pic) were really chewy and authentic which I was so happy to find as it's one of my favorite Korean dishes. The tangsuyuk (we got the half size in the pic) was crispy and fried super well, which paired so well with the noodles. Finally the carbonara kimchi bacon noodles sounded so unique that I had to try it -- the cream sauce was soo tasty and the kimchi added the perfect amount of spice. The place is spacious and perfect for bringing a group of friends. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu as well as the yummy sounding drinks. Loved it!! read more

New Korean restaurant in town woohoo! Very clean inside, staff very friendly. Ingredients and flavors so fresh. Black bean noodles all the umami and perfect pieces of pork and fresh veggies plus delicately fried sweet and sour pork like I've never had before. My friend got kimchi fried rice which was delicious, he was sweating though lol. I hope they do well, a must see! I came for the carbonara but they were out of it so I'll come back. read more

I wish I could give more stars - super clean and friendly service. This is Korean food like Halmoni used to make. Everything is made fresh that day. We had jjajang myeon (black bean noodles), dosirak (lunch box), tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), and kimchi jeon (kimchi pancake). Reasonable prices and good value. We love DosiiRoc (we're going back tonight). read more
