    Excellent service and ambiance. Food is excellent. Every dish we ordered was delicious with every bite. The portions are small considering the stiff price, especially the crudo and sashimi.

    Extremely loud! I had to pretty much yell the entire dinner just to talk to my family sitting across from me. This would have been a restaurant I would recommend but the noise was absolutely horrendous! We also had to wait 30 minutes for our table. Our reservation was at 7:45 and we were not sat at our table till 8:20. Our waiter Thien, saved the night. He was outstanding! He really was 100% on it and very energetic. He did a terrific job!!

    I am from Japan and visit all Japanese restaurants in Houston. Doko is rather fusion izakaya than Japanese restaurant. It is certainly not for the people expect high quality authentic Japanese food. Their menu is very limited, and the staple fishes are not available on their sushi menu such as amaebi, ikura, uni, hotate, suzuki, hirame, etc..., and sushi was super tiny, which is not at all how served in Japan, and ridiculously over price as many new fancy japanese restaurants in Houston. ovebut quality of fish was good. So iwhile t may be a fun place for the beginner's on Japanese foods, the experienced Japanese foodies will be disappointed because their names on the dishes are totally not what they should be. Their naming and description of each dishes are extremely confusing and not accurate, but the servers do not have any patience to explain them to the customers including the manager. So we are not going back.
