Bar Dojo

We had a reservation for 7 for dinner last Sunday for my daughter's birthday and gender reveal and had an amazing experience! The staff went out of their way to take great care of us and the food was absolutely incredible! The portions were large and packed with delicious flavors. We had drinks, appetizers and dinner and everything was perfect. I have wanted to come here for a long time and am so glad we went!

Kicking myself for not going to Bar Dojo sooner! Enjoyed a fantastic Father's Day brunch with gorgeous presentation of cocktails and food, and flavors to match. We had a vegetarian in our group and they were truly impressed by the many options - these did not feel like B-list dishes. I had the softshell crab and tuna poke bowl, with avocado rice, veggies, etc. Fantastic! Got to taste all the other dishes and all were really nicely prepared. I'll be headed back for dinner, soon!

Awesome food and great service. It has a "neighborhood secret" feel and a view of a parking lot. Still I would highly this joint for the tasty menu options!

One of my favorite places to eat. Friendly staff and delicious food. Good portions too. Incredible presentation every time. Lots of fun.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary and when I say EVERYTHING from the food to service was spectacular I genuinely mean it! Chad our server was wonderful and had great recommendations for my husband and I, and was so very thoughtful. We will absolutely be coming back! Thank you all again!

I love this place! The food is excellent! They have a vegetarian selection and kids menu too. The black cod katsu risotto is my all time favorite dish! Great service. Wish it was a bigger spot. It's almost always busy so reservations are highly recommended.

This is the second time I got food here and it was under cooked. The burger was grey on the outside, beet red in the middle and super soft and gooey. Yuck. Waste of $40 Salad was peewny and sad but atleast the Ube dessert was good. The first time was on valentines day a couple years ago, raw salmon filet. (Wasn't supposed to be raw)

This is definitely one of my favorite Asian fusion in the greater Seattle area! Dinner has always been really good, but I recently tried their brunch and it was so delicious as well - especially their ube french toast! 💜

I've been to Bar Dojo several times for dinner and I've always had a great experience. They have a wide variety of unique menu items and everything I've ordered was delicious. Today, we experienced their brunch and I am already itching to go back. They had so many different things on the menu I wanted to try but today we got the Smash Burger, Ube French Toast and Salt & Pepper Shrimp Congee. The Congee truly stole the show. It was like a breakfast ramen with an umami bomb of flavors, dipping the savory donut in the congee with the chili oil + topped with a fried egg (chef's kiss!). You can't go wrong! We made a reservation and got seated right away but on a Saturday at 1130am during prime time brunch hour I was surprised it wasn't more packed. Highly recommend coming in during this time, always make a reservation just to be safe! Overall, Bar Dojo is truly a hidden gem in Edmonds and you can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. Give it a try!

It took me way too long to finally eat at Bar Dojo. I came in for brunch and wish I have a bigger stomach. My friend and I shared all of the entrees ordered. The churros Chinese donut is a genius idea. It was yummy -- it had caramel, sugar and powdered sugar on it. I think they could've let one of those toppings go as it was very sugary. The pork XLB was delicious & flavorful but lacked soup and half were also torn. It was still good though along with the sauce it came with. The smash burger was pretty good too and the truffle nori fries were addicting. I'll have to come back to try the seafood & sashimi/poke dishes as my friend has dietary restrictions. The restaurant is a lot smaller than I expected. It was a busy Sunday so I suggest making reservations during prime hours.

What a great hidden gem in Edmonds! I love all the beautifully curated dishes that are packed full of flavor. Service is amazing, but be sure to make a reservation as it does get busy and it is a small restaurant! You can take a peek at all the food we got below but the ones we will be dreaming about forever are- - Guava churro cheesecake: it was so good that we had to take one to go, we NEVER get dessert but they convinced us to and it was soooo good - Gochujang chicken wings: so good, crisp, and flavorful. I am so picky about my wings but these were perfection - Al pastor bao - so delicious and the perfect size We LOVED everything though, you cannot go wrong with anything on this menu.

This restaurant in a small strip mall in Edmonds surpassed my expectations with creative, innovative and plant friendly food. We stopped in for brunch on a Saturday. The place was almost full but didn't seem hectic - we had made a reservation and were seated right away. I had the ube horchata which was beautiful, sweet and satisfying. I also had the pandan chicken and waffles special. The honey walnut chicken was fried in a way that felt airy and light and the waffles were super satisfying, Elphaba levels of green, and topped with pickled strawberries and miso syrup. So good! My spouse had the tofu mushroom bowl which substantial, spicy, and satisfying. Service was friendly and quick. Can't wait o go back and try other menu options.

Loved the happy hour offerings here. Asian fusion is sometimes a hit or miss but I'd have to say everything was delicious here. They really outdid the menu! From oysters to dumplings, shoestring truffle fries (absolute favorite) and bao slider. Omg just mouth watering!

This might be the best food I've ever had at a restaurant. My friend had the Avocado Kimchi Benedict and loved it as well!

4.5 stars! As an Asian, I'm usually skeptical about Asian fusion, but some of the dishes at this place are legit. The service was great. We didn't have a reservation, and it was busy, but the server went out of their way to fit us in. The highlight of our meal was the Ube flan. It was so good, and I loved the eggy aroma, though I didn't really taste the ube in the flan. The Spicy Bulgogi Beef Rice Bowl was also tasty, but the beef could have been softer, it was a bit tough. The ahi poke taco was delicious and brought back memories of Hawaii. The salted pepper calamari was crunchy, but a too salty like they were over seasoned. The Summer Bonsai drink was tasty and refreshing. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to going back to try their brunch menu

Located in Edmonds, this is an upscale Asian fusion restaurant that looks unassuming on the outside but serves up some decent dishes inside. I went here with a friend, and just in case, we made a reservation for 7:30pm since that was the earliest spot we could get at 5pm, but we were still able to be seated at 7pm. We tried 2 cocktails - Shiso Lovely and Ube Rumchata, as well as a variety of dishes such as birria egg rolls, ahi poke tacos, filet tataki aguachile, and guava churro cheesecake. Overall, the food is okay but could be better for the price. Shiso Lovely was gin based drink with shiso but I honestly felt like the drink was watered down. The Ube Rumchata was fairly aesthetic and has a nice sweetness from the horchata and ample flavor from the ube. The birria egg rolls were good and fairly filling, but I expected more than just 4 half pieces. The consomme they serve was decent but from a reference point, I have had better. The ahi poke tacos are one of their best sellers so we tried that, but it was a little underwhelming from the tuna quality and the wonton is a little soggy. The filet tataki aguachile had a nice balance of spicy, savory, and tangy; it is one of their rotating specialties. I love that they prepared the dish medium rare. The guava churro cheesecake topped off the meal on a good note. The guava filling is slightly caramelized and the cheesecake is fairly hearty, perfect for splitting.

I thought I had already written a review for this fantastic restaurant but I hadn't. The food is delicious! And there are excellent vegan options! The green salad with avocado and miso dressing is fresh and stands alone. Then there is the vegan impossible chicken katsu bowl which is out of this world. The drinks are great too as was the vegan mochi. Love this place, the service and food. Highly recommend!

The service and food were pretty good. We tried a bunch of their daily specials which hopefully would become mainstays on their menu. Definitely would come back for their french toast. Yum!

A friend and I have been wanting to try Bar Dojo for a while and we were especially excited when we heard they had a brunch menu! I was dying to try the ube french toast with horchata whipped cream. It was delicious! I also ordered the pulled pork scramble with green chile. It was very flavorful and filling! The drip coffee was meh, for $5, I would've just gotten one outside by the drive through coffee shop. The service was prompt and friendly, however, we felt it was very pushy and rushing us although the restaurant was not busy and didn't look like there was a wait. We got offered boxes twice and we had not even finished our plate. Kept asking if we were ready for the check even though we wanted to order take out.

Make a reservation to get table seating. We came in last minute because we saw great reviews on yelp and the fun looking cocktails. We were able to be seated immediately at the bar. We ordered drinks and some food. The food was underwhelming. For the price we did expect a little more in flavor. The Dumplings were soft and the noodles had a little spice, but did not have much of a wow factor for the price for us. The Dragon Claw drink had a good spice to it. It was a busy place and the staff were keeping busy. Not the most ergonomic set up with the bar/ dishwasher which could see caused a couple bottlenecks. The staff worked well together in working in the small space.

Bar Dojo is definitely one of those places that doesn't try too hard to stand out from the outside--totally unassuming--but once you're inside, it's a whole different story. The vibe is chill yet sophisticated, and you instantly feel like you've stumbled upon a local gem. I sat at the bar (because, let's be real, bar seating always feels more fun), and ordered a couple of appetizers along with a bowl of their noodles. Oh man, those noodles! Perfectly savory, with just the right amount of spice, they hit the spot after a long day of work. The appetizers were also top-tier, with fresh flavors and creative presentation. I'm from out of town, here on business, and this was hands-down one of the best meals I've had on the road. It's one of those places that makes you think, "Yeah, I'd totally come back here again." It's got that kind of vibe where locals know it's a treasure, and visitors--like me--get to experience it and leave planning their next trip back. Do yourself a favor and check it out--you won't be disappointed!

I came here three times. Each time was exceptional food. Ah, service was alright. Seemed that the service was not of the caliber of the kitchen. The first time , I came for brunch. I had the Pork Xiao Long Bao to start. Delicious pork filling in a juicy bun. Next, the Crab and Poke Bowl, with crispy softshell crab, ahi tuna poke, avocado rice, fresh vegetables, cilantro aioli, fried egg, crispy garlic, side tamari. This had a generous amount of seafood. The avacado rice and crisy garlic made every mouthful a delight. Also ordered the ube French toast, as we wanted a sweet to complete the meal. The ginger rum smear with berries had a complex and not too sweet finish. It was perfect. Next trip, was inspired by brunch and came for dinner ice. First trip, could not resist ordering the coconut honey walnut prawns. One of my favorite dishes, This version was not the standard shrimp, walnuts and mayonnaise. This came with fried tempura white prawns tossed in our house made coconut honey sauce, candied walnut, scallions, pickled strawberries, crispy rice shell, cabbage slaw . How good does that sound? It was a nice explosion of tastes. This is a theme here, food tastes expanding your mouth horizons. After that, the birria tacos, with guajillo slow braised birria, queso Oaxaca, consomé, lime, citrus pickled red onions. What a incredible mix of ingredients. Next visit, the Crab and Poke Bowl, which has crispy softshell crab, ahi tuna poke, avocado rice, fresh vegetables, cilantro aioli, fried egg, crispy garlic, side tamari. I also ordered a Shiso Lovely. This ha gin, shiso tincture, lemon, coconut milk, aquafaba, shiso sencha syrup. You can come here and order anything on the menu and you will be happy. Love this place and the incredible range of Asian and Mexican food items done right in one place.

We went by Bar Dojo for dinner on a Wednesday night. I made reservations through OpenTable 2 days prior, but it wasn't too busy this night. I would say the type of food they serve doesn't really match the ambience of the restaurant if that makes sense? It felt a very Edmonds restaurant inside. We ordered: -Birria eggrolls - pork belly nachos - Dojo Board - almond cake - guava cheesecake - lilikoi creme brulee The birria eggrolls were our least favorite, the sauce didn't stick to the eggroll that well. The pork belly nachos were cheesy and had good flavor. 4 of us shared the Dojo Board, and we polished it clean. I think the board was $125 or so. We all had different reviews of the desserts, but they were all good. This place is on the pricey side, but the food was good.

I've been here before for dinner and most recently for brunch. Service is consistently timely, kind, and thoughtful and while the location on the outside seems pretty unassuming, the interior is comfortable for casual dining and even casual celebratory occasions (I had a nice family dinner here for my birthday once!). The presentation of food and drinks is beautifully done and the food I've tried is good! I personally enjoy the brunch menu more than the dinner menu, but that could certainly be up to my personal taste and I wasn't disappointed by the dinner menu by any means. I loved the sweet and savory brunch options though (my friend and I cleared our plates with the exception of a small amount leftover that I finished later that day because I wanted to leave room for dessert!), and I look forward to more brunches here.

I've never been so excited and delightfully impressed after trying a hole in the wall restaurant. This small and unassuming joint has an impressive menu packed with pan Asian creations and complimentary flavors. Bar Dojo is a local fav and left me wanting more. Make a reservation. They have a small parking lot and nearby street parking. Pros: everything was a pro but these stood out and make this place different from others. - Full plant based menu that's as impressive as the rest of their offerings! - Mocktails (Winter in Bloom and Winter Shrub) might have been more amazing than the very impressive cocktails! (Loved the refreshing Dojo 76 cocktail!) - oysters- FRESH and left me wanting more and will keep me coming back! - I want everything on the menu, like EVERYTHING! - friendly and efficient service, especially impressive bc it's such a busy place. Food for thought: -ahi poke tacos are generously mounded, perfect for sharing. - my tastebuds were going crazy for the tofu mushroom bowl. Add the avocado rice for added pizazz! - aguachile oysters - my only regret was ordering 1 for myself. I could have eaten a platter. I can finally confirm the hype of Bar Dojo. I need to go back and everyone needs to go here now!

I am usually not really a fan of fusion type restaurants. However, this restaurant does it pretty well as the whole menu is just mouth watering. My favorites so far are the oysters and spicy beef bulgogi fries. Service was very friendly and attentive, and they even have a large area for parking. I would definitely love to come back and try the taco omakase!

I can't say enough good things about this place! What a cool, varied menu with so many vegetarian options - and they're not your "typical" veggie options either. The cocktail and mocktail menus were so intriguing. All food was delicious. The crispy tofu could have been a little crispier (same with the fries) but it was still flavorful. Servers were attentive, though at times perhaps too attentive. This feels like a hidden gem - an amazing dining experience tucked away in an unassuming strip mall.

OK, a friend mentioned this place to me so I checked it out on YELP and then immediately made a reservation. The outside is not much to look at but the inside is upscale/casual. The ambiance is spot on. Wifey ordered an "Empress" cocktail and I had their "Dragon Claw" which was a little bit like a spicy Paloma. Both were very good. Junior was with us and we ordered "family style to share everything because there were too many delicious looking choices to just get one item. We ordered the Spicy Pork Noodles, Ahi Poke Tacos, crab fried rice and the Coconut Honey Walnut Prawns. WOW!! The noodles were some of the best I've ever had. The dish was SOOO flavorful and fresh tasting that I wanted more right away! ITS A MUST HAVE! The Ahi Poke tacos were super fresh and light (you get 5). The Coconut Honey Walnut Prawns were delicious. They had a very light crispy coating which really let the fresh seafood flavor shine...highly recommended! The crab fried rice was good but was not as outstanding as the other dishes. It's a fairly small seating area so I would suggest you make reservations (we got ours for the same day). There is also a nice bar top to sit at if you don't want a table.

We went there for their brunch. We ordered kimchi fried rice burritos, burger, and Xiao long bao. I was looking forward for fusions, but not all dishes are. Nevertheless, all the dishes were delicious. Kimchi fried burritos was my favorite, love the combination of Korean and Mac salad. Burger was juicy and done well. Xiao long bao was nothing special, a bit overpriced. I'll definitely go back again to try their evening menu.

Still a wonderful experience, almost a decade later. Ridiculously busy Friday night on one of the coldest days in October. Husband and I stopped by for dinner and drinks. We were able snag a bartop seat and the bartender was super helpful. We ended up struggling to decide because everything looked amazing. We got Pork Belly Nachos, Avocado RiceOysters, Crab and poke Bowl (without rice) and a side of Brussels.

The ahi tacos are really good service was great the calamari was over cooked so it was really tuff to chew. But in reality not to many people know how to cook calamari, if cooked right they are not always tuff and chewy.

We visited the Seattle area this past week and were staying in the Edmonds area, Bar Dojo was highly rated on Yelp and I am pretty much always down for some Asian Fusion, so it was any easy choice to grab dinner! In an unassuming strip mall, the restaurant is quaint with a small bar area and ample tables. We were seated right away upon arrival Thursday evening. The restaurant overall has a simple vibe, but makes up for it in their menu offerings. Service was lovely. We had full water glasses and a water carafe immediately upon being seated, always appreciated. No paper menus, just QR codes here and a small paper menu of the daily specials. The server greeted us promptly and gave up ample time to view the menu! The menu had a great variety of things from bowls, tacos, loaded fries to ramen. We opted for the pork belly bowl and spicy bulgogi bowl. Both bowls presentation were beautiful. Great veggies and flavor overall. The spicy bulgogi was significantly better with more flavor, while the pork belly lacked a sauce or additional element. The bowls were nearly identical in ingredients though. After three bowls, with water, the total after tip came to about $100. It felt a bit steep personally. I may return again, as enjoyed the food, but not sure the value is totally there, but would be interested in checking out their happy hour or some other offerings if I was in the area.

My husband and family have always been fans of Bar Dojo. However, what makes it more special now is one of their servers, Chad Hofland. Chad used to work at Salt & Iron and we honestly frequented that restaurant regularly just to be served by Chad. He is by far, the best server we have ever known - we are big foodies. His customer service is impeccable and he remembers everything, what your likes and dislikes are down to what my particular drink is! He left S @ I and we lost touch for a while and lo and behold, I went to Bar Dojo for a business dinner and boom, there was Chad! Thank goodness, my hubby and I are back in "The Chad Zone" again and will make Bar Dojo a more frequent hang out. Food is always amazing and now they have a top notch sever on their staff. Do yourself a a favor and go to Bar Dojo and ask to be seated in Chad's area. You won't be disappointed! He is not just our server, we consider him a wonderful friend and family!

The food here was out of this world good. Recommend making a rezzy as it's a small location and super popular.

The Taco Omakase Dinner Experience was Well Worth Waiting For! Every staff was very welcoming and accommodating! The place was vibrant and full of people enjoying themselves! Can you imagine the Chef himself bringing you his specialty dishes?! Chef Brambila is Top Notch!

Creative drink menu, delicious food and a great atmosphere. The poke tacos were the group fav as well as the aguachile oysters, and guava churro cheesecake!

I drive all the way from SeaTac for their food! Great cocktails too. Wish they stayed open later.

This place is definitely worth checking out if you're in Edmonds. It is not in the downtown area, so easy parking ;) We had the audacity to show up with no reservation on Mother's Day. The host was incredibly sweet and allowed us to stay before the 6pm reservation shows up. We got lucky! The food took a while to come out but we passed the time taking photos/selfies with the beautiful carnation bouquets on the table. Food: 1. They have a kids menu No complaints heard from them munching down their burgers and fries. 2. Pork belly sliders: be prepared for a good spicy kick. Delicious if you love spicy food! The fries are awesome. And the sauce was my favorite part! 3. Pork belly tacos: good! The sauce was the star again. 4. The passion fruit cheesecake: do not share! You will want it all to yourself. Creamy texture, passion fruit comes through in the cheesecake and in the little balls filled with juicy goodness. This was a winner for me! 5. Pandan creme brûlée: not my favorite. I guess im not a fan of Pandan. But texture wise and the sugar topping were spot on.

For my birthday, I'm excited to explore nearby Asian cuisine, and I came across this restaurant during my research. I'm thrilled about the food and the company I'll have! Since I've booked for a week, I can't wait to indulge in several meals. I've got my eye on the Crab and Poke Bowl, Ahi Tacos, Ube Rumchata, and Dojo 76! The visuals in the photos are just as delightful as the food itself--absolutely delicious!

Made a reservation but wasn't much needed on a Wednesday night. The ahi tacos were my favorite and I loved them! The cauliflower was just ok and definitely needed a side of rice. Bulgogi fries were good. We did order drinks, not pictured. They were good and strong! We also ordered the crème brûlée, not pictured but I liked their twist on it. Had a hint of pandan flavor. They have a super big parking lot and the store front makes the restaurant feel like a hole in the wall vibe. The staff were nice and attentive.

I have been here a few times now over the past several years and my favorite item from here is always the tuna tacos! I would literally come here just for these! The service is always pretty quick even if they're busy which the normally are even on a weeknight. Definitely make reservations if you can!

We'd been trying to come here with friends for a few months, but the dates just weren't lining up. Finally had our chance a few weeks ago and scored a semi-last-minute Friday dinner reservation for 4 of us. We were surprised that the reservation confirmation stated dress code is "smart casual" which sent me in a bit of a spin. I'm not a sloppy dresser, but I do hate having to think too hard to interpret someone else's dress code. The lame part was that it was not even remotely enforced. If you wanna show up tie-dyed, untucked, in shorts and flip-flops, as some other patrons did that night, you won't be turned away. Also, the restaurant is in a strip mall. There's dim lighting and a comfortable atmosphere, but this is not fine dining. So my advice is don't stress too hard about this detail. Our waiter was really friendly and assured us that everything we ordered was one of his favorites. He also was great about checking on potentially problematic ingredients for us, so we felt confident in what we were ordering. I like that there's a plant-based section to the menu for easy-to-order vegan items, and that the rest of the menu includes a couple more vegetarian options as well. It's a bit of a bummer that I had to rule out at least 3 of their vegan entrees because I can't eat Impossible products. That being said, what I did eat was very tasty. Tofu Mushroom Bowl (sautéed mushrooms & onions, tofu, rice, serrano peppers, fresh vegetables, spicy miso sauce, fried egg, scallions; $23) was a good size and had nice flavor. I appreciated the house hot sauces our waiter brought out for it. I went with this over the yakisoba, which was very similar but with noodles instead of rice, because the yakisoba cost an additional $6 to add tofu. That's a crime in my book. The veg okonomiyaki rice (garlic fried rice, seasonal vegetables, okonomiyaki sauce, umami black garlic vegan mayo, scallions, sesame seeds, micro greens; $20) with tofu ($6) looked really good but did not really resemble okonomiyaki other than the mayo. Edamame dumplings (edamame vegetable dumplings with chili oil, scallions, fresh minced garlic, ginger, tamari, sesame oil; $16) were very garlicky, and the hoisin cauliflower (tempura cauliflower tossed with savory chili hoisin glaze, scallions, sesame seeds; $19) was a surprising favorite. Drinks were very photogenic. The Dragon's Claw (tequila, lime, serrano, guava, poblano liqueur, salt) had some good heat to it. All in all I think the consensus is that we're glad we came but not sure that we're rushing to come back.

it's been a while for me. it was a very satisfying dinner at Bar Dojo. the last visit was a satisfactory pre-covid happy hour visit, and a fabulously delicious and expensive Blended (Mushroom) Burger Project by James Beard in 2017. 3 of us met for dinner at 6 p.m. the restaurant was already near capacity with 2 open tables. our "reserved" table was occupied and we were not seated until 6:15. service: excellent. except for the reservation wait time, seating, greeting, delivery of water, orders for drinks, ordering the meals, dessert ordering, table clearing and check presentations were well-paced. when one of our party left the table before drinks were ordered. our server appeared immediately to take our dinner companion's drink order when he returned. ambience: Loud. felt crowded, especially at the door and the host station. surprisingly, plenty of room between tables to navigate to the restroom. gochujang artichoke wings: delicious. artichoke hearts cut to resemble chicken wing flats, breaded and fried, with an assertive spicy gochujang glaze tempered by eating the jicama cubes. the glase might be too spicy for some. $17 oysters aquachile: the aquachile was declared "very good" by our fellow diner from Mexico. un-named Taylor Shellfish Farms oysters $5 ea. pan seared scallops: 4 very large beautifully seared scallops. spicy gochujang sauce. $45 umami dojo burger: i had hoped this would be a reincarnation of the Blended Burger Project burger. i was not disappointed. the menu description seemed a bit busy, but the kobe beef flavor shined. the burger was not stacked so high that the bun held up and did not disintegrate under the weight of the burger ingredients. a definite win. i guess this is a burger i would split with a friend simply because of the price. $26 shoe string fries: perfect! noodle soups/ramen: still gun-shy from previous visits. maybe i will try them another time. passion fruit cheesecake: tangy and firm. gorgeous spun sugar presentation. $11. drinks: 22 oz Sapporo can $14. Reubens hazy pale can $8 spirit-free Ube horchata $6 the food presentation has always been gorgeous. the food is now well- seasoned and consistent, although the gochujang seasonings might be a bit heavy-handed. the desserts have always been so beautiful and tasty, they warrant a late visit just for dessert and coffee or some bubbly. i wish they would open for lunch again. i'll save up my pennies for another visit there.

The ambiance was nice and good for a date night. The place didn't seem busy, but tables were already reserved due to reservations. We were able to snag a table at the bar. I got a drink which was the Fall Bonsai...it was okay just not for me. As for the food, it was amazing. My boyfriend and I got a variety plate that they offered. I don't remember what it's called but had everything. It was so good and fresh. I would order again.

Brunch was amazing! Especially the desserts. Would recommend the Lilikoi Crème Brulee and Birria Ramen! Sooo good and portions are huge. Would definitely eat here again and again. Thank you Bar Dojo and thank you Mark W!

I went back to try Bar Dojo and found it true that I was there on an off night. Everything we had was great (although we had beer rather than cocktails so I can only speak to a couple dishes and dessert). The tofu and mushrooms dish came out nice and hot and had plenty of flavor without overdoing the salt. I would definitely get this again. The coconut prawns was a small but mighty dish with a punch of flavor and delicate sweetness that worked very well. The passionfruit cheesecake was decent although may a tad sweet by my standards (compared to the richness a cheesecake should have rather than sweetness), but I loved the "pop" of the passionfruit balls so much. Bottom line: I had a great experience and now see why this place has good reviews. Service was great and the food was great. I'm glad I returned to see how they can deliver!

Cozy place with great service! Menu is fun and the food is flavorful. We had the Birria Eggrolls, Al Pastor Kim Chi Rice Bowl, and the Pork Belly Chile Verde Bao. The flavors were great, and amounts were perfect for sharing. Bar Dojo is a good place to take a date, or meet up with friends. I'd recommend reservations, very popular place (deservedly)!

oh f*** oh b**** oh yeah oh okay oh god d*** the food has touched me ‍ ok review done 10/10 omg ok we got dessert YUM Xd

Yes for yummy vegan options! I do wish there were more cocktail varieties but the non alcoholic options were really good. Highly suggest the rose blossom for a drink that's light and refreshing. Service was super fast and staff was awesome. Went right at opening. One server was working the room and was on point. Make sure you clarify you want the vegan option even if it's in the plant based menu. The artichoke wings are super tasty with the right amount of spice. I personally wasn't a fan of the tofu poke tacos. Though the flavor was amazing the texture just wasn't for me. It's a casual-ish dining room.

Bar Dojo is an incredible Asian Fusion restaurant. Located at five corners. The ambiance is welcoming and intimate and offers a small bar and general seating as well. They have a wide range of cuisine, from poke tacos to full size ramen dishes you can't go wrong here. Chef Luis Brambila is not just an incredible person but also an exceptionally talented Chef. His menu and the ideas he brings to life are amazing not only in the flavors of the food, but also in the presentation and plating. This is an incredible place to dine or to have a date. The atmosphere is great and the staff here are very friendly and good at what they do. Definitely a must to add to your list if you have not eaten here before!

Met a friend for dinner here and was able to get seated right away. The space is small, so there's not a lot of room on the table for more than a couple dishes, but we made it work. We shared the Korean Chicken Wings, which were pretty tasty, and I also had the Kalua Pork Rice Bowl, also good. The staff were kind but sometimes felt that they were tolerating guests rather than being welcoming or personable with them. I also noted that our glasses were cloudy, and my friend's glass already had a lip print on it before she even arrived - kind of concerning considering the glasses are pre-poured before being seated at the table. Definitely not a fan of that.

Came here after dinner for desserts and drinks. And wholeheartedly regretted not coming here for a full course meal! Their appetizers were delicious, and their desserts were to die for. The service was attentive and kind, and respected that we came purely for desserts and fun. The ambience felt like a perfect spot for a date or anniversary, so we were the odd balls. But we agreed we would definitely come here again for an actual meal.

Great food and service! Dumplings and fried tofu are our favorites but there are several great entrees. Love the atmosphere as well.

Excellent food, service and ambiance as always. The house red was something from Mark Ryan which is always good. The service was quick, professional and friendly. Highly recommend Bar Dojo for anyone looking for an excellent meal in Edmonds.

The line at the door will tell you how great this place is. Somewhat of a spicy menu, but they happily adjust to a little milder If you ask. The dumplings and the lettuce wraps are the best I've ever had.

This small restaurant is a great Asian fusion spot in Edmonds. I've been here 3x now and have been pleasantly surprised by their dishes and cocktails. The place has a great selection of Asian inspired foods along with a list of specials served weekly (or monthly?). I highly recommend booking a reservation a few days in advance as they're always full both weekdays and weekends. I've managed to snag a spot at their bar without a reservation the last 2x I've gone during dinner hour. The soup dumplings, Brussels sprouts, yakisoba add katsu chicken, and homemade mac salad are some of favorites. I've also tried their beef rice bowl and tacos (on the speciality menu) which have been tasty as well. I haven't made it to happy hour yet, but it's on the list! Give this place a try next time you're craving Asian food.

First timer here trying out happy hour 4-5pm on Sunday. The restaurant is already half full. This must be a popular place in the neighborhood. We tried yuzu cocktail refreshing, but no yuzu taste : ( more like lime cocktail. Still good tho. We ordered Kailua pork sliders and Korean wings. The wings are cooked to perfection with heat. The kochujung sauce is sweet and spicy. The price is ok pretty expensive side that's why we gotta come during happy hour.
