Dozika Restaurant — high-caliber japanese in Evanston. Order the Sushi. Affordable, owner on site. Jordan Mostyn: "The sushi is incredible and the sashimi is smoother than butter"

“I've never had a complaint and my kiddo loves it too”
Ever since Dozika moved to the new space, the food is not very good.
According to Yelp, a 2-star means 'Could've been better,' so that's what I'm rating at Google, too.
Very disappointing.

“Very cozy + friendly + family style atmosphere restaurant.”
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.”
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.

LOVE this place. Affordable sushi but still high quality. Look at how thick the sashimi cuts are. Wow! Been here for a date and then for lunch. 5 out of 5 both times! Love the vibe of the place too. The best miso soup I’ve ever had. I’ve also tried sea ranch across the street but this place is well worth the extra cost. $14 for a bento box during lunch. Can’t beat that price.

“What a lovely charm in Evanson.”
What a lovely charm in Evanson. My friend and I sat at a booth table by window and we had a lovely time there. The appetizers and Ramen were delicious. Love the decor and it is so cozy! Will definitely come here again!

“I found this restaurant as cozy and food delicious.”
I found this restaurant as cozy and food delicious. Appetizers are tasty but portion sizes are small for groups. Must try spicy Chicken wings.

My wife and I enjoyed a low-price and delicious dinner at Dozika. She had bibmbap, while I had teriyaki chicken with tempura vegetables. The servings were generous. The server was fast and friendly.

My daughter and I were in town visiting Northwestern University, and we stopped in here on a whim. Turns out to have been one of the best meals of our whole trip. Highly recommended!

“We came on a Monday night for dinner.”
We came on a Monday night for dinner. The restaurant was half full and we were seated right away. They seem to have a large amount of take out orders, which is great for them. We ordered, and food came out in about 12-15 min. The veggie sushi was fine but not amazing. My partners noodle dish was tasty. The bill was very reasonable.
