This is one of my favorite places. I usually order delivery. My favorites dishes are the spicy Thai noodles and the bento box.

Very cozy + friendly + family style atmosphere restaurant. Love the Thai & Japanese food at Dozika. Crab rangoon, fried tofu, ceviche salad for appetizer so good. Yakisoba, Pad Thai beef, Pad see ew chicken and sushi 🍣 The staff and the owner are very friendly. Strongly recommended to come and try whether come alone, on a date or with the family you'll love it.

This was our first time eating here. We stopped by for the lunch special and ordered Pad See Eew and Veggie Ginger. The food was delicious, and the portions were pretty big for the price. I really liked the sushi — the salmon was fresh and thick. We’re definitely coming back here again.

I took my grandson there for his 31st birthday. We both thought the food was delicious.
