Such a hidden gem! Great food, amazing service from a genuine family-run restaurant where you can tell they take care to make sure you love your food and your experience. Highly recommend! We had the spicy edamame and have tried a bunch of different rolls, and they are all delicious. The Poki Roll is incredible🤤 I will say though, the wasabi is a little weird and doesn’t give you that ā€œbiteā€.

Absolutely Wonderful!
My family and I visited Dozo while we were in town, and we were so impressed! The service was friendly and attentive from start to finish, and every dish we tried was amazing.

The dumplings were flavorful, the meat skewers were tender and perfectly seasoned, the sushi rolls were fresh and delicious, and the tempura was light, crisp, and truly over the top!

I always order a side of white rice, and theirs was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had—simple but so satisfying.

Dozo is the kind of place you remember. If we’re ever back in the area, we will absolutely make it a point to come back. Thank you to the wonderful team for such a great dining experience!

All the skewers were great and the Yakitori with the scallions were especially my favorite.

I don't have food to show because I'm too busy eating it it's so dang on good here but so far I've had the Calamari, Pork belly buns, Shumai, Crunchy California roll, Philly Role, and TNT role and it's all been AMAZING. This place deserves more hype.

Wonderful authentic Japanese food with so many choices. The staff and cooks are very friendly. It’s a small intimate place, but it is not noisy and it is very clean. Definitely will make this a regular part of our eating out experience.

100% AUTHENTIC. I used to live in Osaka, and everything on the menu here is exactly what I would find at an izakaya in Japan. Takoyaki - Ika Geso - Korroke - Negima - Hatsu - Tsukune... the list goes on. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is great. Wish they had one where I live!

I had relatively authentic Japanese curry rice here. As a japanese person, I'm glad that this type of restaurant is here in Greater Phoenix area.

June is so nice! We like to check out new places and drove from North Peoria to come here. We were not disappointed! The spicy miso ramen, Tori Roll, Philly Roll, And Vegas roll were all delicious. The meat has a smoky flavor, taste freshly grilled. We will definitely be back.

This is a Japanese review. I visited in February 2024. There aren't many Japanese restaurants in Arizona, but I was happy to find a Japanese izakaya-like restaurant. The atmosphere and service are good, and the food tastes good. I'm happy to be able to eat yakitori.
