Why all the 1 star reviews??? In all honesty Yelp reviews are worthless and biased. It's where people come just to complain about crap, you can ignore them. You want to see the real reviews? Look on Google Reviews, this place is a 4.3 out of 5. We've ate there several times since they opened up and have had no issues or complaints. The service is always excellent, the ambiance was cozy and modern, and the food was superb. We ordered the filet and shrimp, which came with steak, shrimp, fried rice, vegetables, soup, and salad. The steak was juicy and tender, the shrimp was succulent and crispy, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, and the soup and salad were refreshing and satisfying.
We were served by Mike, the chef and owner and he was very skilled and entertaining. It was just my wife and I and no one else at the table so we were all able to talk freely with Mike while he was preparing our meal. We got to learn a little about him and his journey and he made the whole experience fun and interactive.
The restaurant also has a great selection of sushi, sashimi, and rolls. I've tried several of the sushi platters and they were all delicious. The fish was fresh and smooth, and the rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The spicy tuna roll had a nice kick to it, and the salmon nigiri was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The presentation was also very appealing, with colorful sauces and garnishes.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Mike expressed several times how important quality was to him. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. They made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. They also followed all the safety protocols and guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant also has a full bar with sake, beer, wine, and cocktails.
I highly recommend Dozo Japanese Cuisine to anyone who loves Japanese food or hibachi. It is hands down the best Japanese restaurant in Clarksville, and one of the best I have ever been to. I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes. It was a truly fantastic and memorable experience. Thank you, DOZO JAPANESE CUISINE, for making our evening!
