DŌZO Japanese American Kitchen

Restaurant · Wesley Heights

@eater

"From the team behind the food truck, Katsu Kart, comes Dōzo, a teensy 12-seat situation with a very visible open kitchen over at Wesley Heights’s City Kitch. This is true hidden gem vibes, even though people have been following Katsu Kart like a disciplined mob for a while now. At this new set-up, the generous handful of Japanese American dishes are the focus — sit-down and take-out welcome. The $13-$15 bento box (an absolute midday steal) comes with a salad, miso soup, pickles, rice, and tofu or tonkatsu. The pork belly and crab fried rice with orbs of roe and the savory okonomiyaki will have customers returning quickly to this izakaya-adjacent joint doing something unique in the city." - Kayleigh Ruller
