Doju 〜 a combination of Head Chef/Owner Mika Chae’s hometown Jeollanam-do and Meju, a fermented, Korean soybean block. Meju is the first step for making a number of Korean dishes like doenjang (Korean miso), ganjang (soy sauce) and gochujang (chilli paste). Since Doju is Mika’s first restaurant, Meju is perfectly incorporated into the name and sets the scene for meaningful, passionate food.

We opted for the chefs banquet, each dish presented beautifully. From oysters to scallops, wagyu beef to sashimi, every dish was lovely. The service is faultless and I will definitely will return.

Service was excellent and so was the food. A bit of shame that it was lacking tea options. More Korean tea would've been lovely

Went here on a date night with my partner. Staff are super friendly and excellent service. Great attention to detail too. For the starter I’d highly recommend the beef yukhwe. For the small plate we both really enjoyed the heirloom zucchini. Definitely a highlight of the night. Very modern Korean cuisine whilst honouring traditional flavours. Would definitely come back.

Amazing food and service - aircon was far too cold, it was like an ice box. Definitely needs to be fixed.
