Dosanko Restaurant

One of the few spots in Vancouver where you can get proper Japanese-style omurice. The menu is super well put together, and each dish has a little twist or kick that makes it interesting. Chill vibe inside, super friendly staff, and honestly, I enjoyed the omurice more than the katsu sando. The cocktails are great too!

Excellent! My husband and I shared the cheese onigiri, the kangi chicken, and the beef belly sandwich. All were mouthwateringly delicious 🌟
We will definitely be introducing friends to this spot.

The service was polite and nice, the place looks very nice, not the typical Japanese restaurant. but I was pretty disappointed with the food.
All the photos on review looked amazing and looked high quality, but it wasn’t.
I didn’t take any pictures of the rice under the egg in Omu-rice, but the veggies were cut poorly, and there were so many small black pieces in. Like the pan they used are not washed properly. I have seen those burnt stuff at a Mongolian grill when they keep using the same pan over and over again. I ended up picking some bigger size of the burnt pieces from the rice to eat. The scrambled egg was too buttery, didn’t taste egg enough.
The Kastu was not bad, but nothing really special. The spring mix was very sad looking, not fresh at all. Not crunch, just warm green.
The presentation wasn’t very good either.
With those quality, the price for both were way over priced.
Maybe we were just very unlucky, and the cook wasn’t in a good mood or something?

Superb experience! Came here for a birthday and we let the chef decide the menu. Everything, from the very first starter to the last dessert, was incredible. The service was awesome, and the ambience was perfect – elegant yet comfortable, making it a truly special evening. Highly recommend for any celebration!

Solid value Japanese spot with a variety of options available for lunch and specials. Pricing is very competitive and the food is well made.

It’s not in the greatest part of town, so look down when you walk.

Overall, solid spot to get a quick bite for lunch. They also do serve alcohol, in case that’s something you’re looking for.

One of the best omurice places I’ve tried! Their burdock appetizer and fish katsu were also my favourites!!

My partner and I are from Toronto and went here for lunch because of the good reviews. I had the omurice with hayashi sauce and he had the omurice with curry sauce and both tasted amazing! I like how they cut open the omurice and pour on the sauce for you. Plus the waiter named Hikaru was super friendly! I even had a chance to practice my Japanese in a conversation with him. When we come back to Vancouver next time we'll definitely stop by again for that omurice. :)

Edit: The dessert and the tea were also very good!!
おいしかったです！

The food was delicious and authentic, Akiyo is amazingly welcoming, I will definitely come back!

All day Japanese style breakfast set

Food is mediocre and sauce is very salty. It is definitely not a value for money. It is just a hamburger with some sauce and rice $28. Nothing special.

One of my favorite places in the entire city to have a meal. The portion sizes are perfect, the food is delicious, and the staff are wonderful. I've gone here many times, brought friends and have always enjoyed myself. Highly recommend.

I don't know what it is but omurice is just one of the best things in the world. Super simple, super comforting, Delicious.
The omelette was perfect. Soft pale yellow skin and once cut it lusciously draped over the rice revealing soft scrambled curds. The texture was silky, smooth, creamy, custardy. Just fricken sexy.

Thanks Chef Nathan ごちそうさま

Really recommend! Home style Japanese food, and they made them so well! All sauces (salad dressing or food dipping) are extraordinary and special. I finally tried the soft scrambled eggs on rice! Love it!

What an absolutely delectable experience in every single way. First the atmosphere is absolutely amazing so much wood brick and attention to detail to the interior with really great mood lighting provided by the string lights across the entire ceiling, plus they were playing really great music. The one song that stood out was a classic Beastie Boys that just really set the mood.

I got a sake sour cocktail, which was so well executed and visually stunning and just exactly what I wanted to kick off my birthday dinner and then that was followed up with a delicious green salad that had a lot of different types of root vegetables in it and a vibrant vinaigrette dressing.

And then the whole reason that I wanted to come in for my birthday, make sure to watch the video, was the omurice. I got it with the beef demi-glaze, and it was exactly what I had been dreaming of for so long and was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. Perfectly executed and outstanding flavors. I highly recommend if you’ve been watching nonstop videos online or have experienced it anywhere else, this will not disappoint.

And then to cap things off, I got a little scoop of their freshly made cinnamon ice cream, which felt like they made the ice cream out of the milk that’s left over after a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and I’m not a big cinnamon guy, but this blew my mind.

Do yourself a favour and check this place out and make sure to ask for their recommendations. ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 🤤

Best omurice! Spicy chicken katsu sandwich is good too!
