Always a fantastic meal at Dosanko, but this was our first time coming with our preschooler. Came for an early dinner and sat at a table by a chalkboard, kids books, and toys. They also have a kids menu with a variety of rice dishes! Had the duck ramen which was rich and and delicious, the beef belly Katsu sando (my personal favourite), and of course an omurice. Look forward to our next visit!

While I had high hopes for this restaurant, I was disappointed with the efficiency of the service and the food delivery. Took 15 minutes to get served initially and to get a drink order.

I enjoyed the omurice with vegetable curry and my friend had the duck ramen.

The duck was delicious and the broth also, but the omurice rice was rather cold.

Each of our entrees also came out at separate times with nearly 10 minutes between each main.

Disappointed and wouldn’t return.

Japanese cuisine with a modern twist. Warm, cozy decor despite being a large open space. Always soft jazz playing in the background. They might have a couple of craft beers on tap, but a good selection of craft beer in cans. They are located on Powell Street.

I have travelled around the world and have never tasted a Duck Ramen as amazing the one here. Dosanko absolutely perfected the recipe! I HIGHLY recommend! I wish I took a picture to post but I finished it too fast, delicious!

Hidden gem! Had a great experience at Dosanko. The food was tasty, drinks/cocktails are reasonably priced. The house plum wine was amazing, it made me feel like I'm travelling again! Service was very responsive and kind.

I loved the atmosphere there and wanted to like the food they provided, however I had stomached after having omu-rice. I’ve noticed the fried rice had quite a bit of completed burnt parts (whole black pieces) while eating, but didn’t know it will affect my stomach later. I hope they can improve the food quality because I can see how much effort they made on the deco, kids area, menu etc. I wish I can come back without worrying my stomach.

Was on our list for a while and glad we got to check it out! We ordered the curry rice, the tan tan men (special for the day/season?) and a crispy cheesy onigiri.

The curry rice was unlike any other curry or Japanese curry specifically that I’ve ever had - when they said 40 ingredients, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was simple, straightforward and delicious - exactly what curry should be!

The tan tan men was also incredible. Usually I don’t like how other variations are heavy with peanut sauce, but this was the perfect blend of the nutty peanut and mild chilli oil heat.

The crispy cheesy onigiri was an impulse get - it was yummy, but certainly much saltier than I was anticipating!

Overall a lovely dinner with great service and a hello from the chef. Definitely a hard neighborhood but it’s still worth a visit, especially with the free parking in the area. Will be back!
