This is a small locally owned Japanese restaurant. The food is always great and well-prepared. I have tried many things on the menu and it is always delicious. The bubble tea is also especially good. The employees are always very courteous and care about maintaining a positive atmosphere. The sushi and sashimi dishes are also very reasonably priced and high quality. Highly recommend this place!

A wonderful find in Evanston for pan-Asian food. I had the very affordable priced Bento box for lunch, which came with Miso soup, an appetizer of my choice (Tempura veggies) and my entree choice of Pad Thai. It was fresh and delicious. Our spacious table against the front window was a very pleasant and comfortable perch. A great place that I'll be trying more of.

This was my first time ordering from Dozika. Delivery order arrived quickly. At least 40% of the tempura was literally burnt black in places. The individual pieces were so heavily drenched in batter it was impossible to recognize what the pieces were. I didn't eat the majority of that. The batter was soaked in oil and dripping oil in the box. The chive dumpling appetizer had no much oil on it and in it that it was inedible. The soft shell crab appetizer had so much batter on it that the crab itself was impossible to identify. Egg rolls were also drenched in oil. The sushi was impossible to eat with chopsticks because nearly all the pieces fell apart upon being picked up. Even the basic maki rolls fell apart. The 'tempura crunch' sushi arrived with at least three quarters cup of loose 'tempura crush' strewn over the top of the roll. The ramen was passable but only that. This first-time order was so atrocious that I won’t be ordering take out or visiting the restaurant ever again. Prep and cooks really need training. This whole order appeared to be prepared by someone who is completely new to this kind of food (didn't know the difference between handling fried chicken batter and tempura, for example) or who was severely impaired while on the cook line. Just shockingly bad. I attempted to contact the restaurant via email to tell them all of this but one can only deal with them via a phone call so there's no assurance that management would hear anything. That figures.

The sushi is incredible and the sashimi is smoother than butter! So great every time! Not to mention the best miso soup with so much tofu, seaweed and green onion! Lunch specials are the best! Can’t recommend this place more.
Nice server, clean restrooms, booths and tables, baby high

I have ordered takeout from Dozika for over a year now ~quite~ frequently and highly recommend using their online platform for delivery. Our order is always the “favorite combo” and we order a side with it. When you use their online platform with *this* combination you also receive a free item which we use to get another appetizer; for two we EACH get two reg. maki, and we each get to pick a side (one free from the limited free item opt on the online platform) for delivery under $40. The food quality, and customer/delivery service serve us SO well for this price. Look forward to ordering from Dozika time and time again!
Excellent value. Very good food. Very Good service

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.
Awesome ramen the best.
