Good food, good service, nice decor, great location, clean bathroom and free wifi. First time coming here for happy hour. I live so close to Doka Square. I always pass by but never tried it. Today I decided to go with sis for happy hour. Ordered the famous appetizer Rock Shrimp and Lemongrass Prawn. These 2 dishes were the best. The waitress that helped our table was super friendly and nice. She got us the free wings with Yelp check in and got us the free Creme brûlée. The decor for the restaurant was so cool. Art, cool lighting and the nice wooden feel. I feel this restaurant can get more business if there was a better happy hour menu with more affordable foods/drinks. I definitely will come back to try the other yummy foods. Would be a cool place to throw a Halloween or baby shower. Big place with lots of seating.
Found the place on Yelp while in the area w/ the bf and decided to check it out. We walked up to the restaurant and while reading the menu posted on the wall, the host walked out and handed us menus and explained to us that they were an Asian fusion restaurant. Tbh it was a little awkward but we decided to go in anyway because the Yelp rating was good. We got there towards the earlier end of dinner time (around 6) so the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. There were several people at the bar and we were one of two people at the tables. The service was attentive, maybe a little too attentive because there weren't many people in the restaurant yet. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I felt like our waitress checked in with us just a tad too frequently before we were ready to order.
At first we thought happy hour only applied to beer and wine since that's what was advertised, but then our waitress told us that cocktails were also part of happy hour for $8 (normally $10). We both ended up getting the All-Doka Ginger, which is the first cocktail on the list. At first I thought it was too gingery but once I squeezed the lemon wedge it was much better. (Ginger beer + citrus is a fantastic combo.) I'm someone who prefers drinks that don't have a very strong taste of alcohol and this one was just right for me.
For appetizers, I checked into Yelp and got the 2 free fried garlic wings. We also got satay chicken and roti canai. Everything was quite good but we felt like the portions were on the small side. The wings were great – they were fresh out of the fryer, super crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Only I checked in, but I think they allow each person to do it, so it's not limited to 1 check in per table, which is great.
Entrees – I got the loco moco and bf got the Indian pan fried noodle. I'd gotten loco moco once before when I was in Japan and was super excited to see that they had it on their menu because I love hamburg/hamburger steak. OverallI thought it was okay. I didn't care for the tempura egg that came on top. The tempura skin/batter was bland and just fell right off of the egg. I did like that the yolk was very runny. The hamburger steak was nice and moist and the mushroom gravy was creamy. The portion was pretty decently sized but overall the dish felt kind of bland, especially compared to the Indian noodles which had flavorful spices and tanginess from the lime (tbh I think I liked it more than my own dish heh). It reminded me of pad thai but with more spices and with the yellow egg noodles used in lo mein.
Usually I'm pretty wary of Asian fusion restaurants but I really enjoyed Doka Square! Good drinks & food, decor is nice and the staff is super friendly and attentive.
Came here after work just for a drink or two. We had the Doka Wings (garlic fried chicken) if you check-in via facebook or yelp.We ordered calamari as an appetizer as well as the Lagunitas IPA and Blue Moon as part of the happy hour.
Beers are $5, Wine is $7, Cocktails are $8 for HH from 3-8pm. The wings that we got for checking in were two pieces, but fully marinated with bold flavor. The garlic aroma and moist chicken fell right off its bone. The calamari was good as well, not heavily battered, mixed in with peppers and onions.
The waitress is very friendly and occasionally checking in to see if everything was good. I would like to come back to try the other options on the menu! Definitely give this place a try if you're nearby and stop by for their Happy Hour—great beer selections (mostly drafts) and bartender's picks for wine/cocktail.
Came here last night with a buddy after hitting the gym. It's quite near by so we're glad we found a new spot we can chill at after!
Very clean and beautiful space. The food is unique and has Asian inspired cuisine, kind of like tapas styled- good for sharing and trying different things. We loved the bacon baos and the potatoes! Great service- everyone was really attentive and super nice. We'll be back again soon!
So, the other day, my coworkers decided to try the food at Doka's for her birthday and what was nice about Doka is, they give you a free birthday meal. With a table of 6, the birthday girl get to choose an appetizer and an entrée of her choice. How nice is that?!?!
The service was really nice, waiters and waitresses were very attentive and kept refilling our water.
They have a really cool bar area in the middle of the restaurant for people who just wanted a few chugs. I personally like the old rustic wooden look in restaurants with dim lights but the lighting made it difficult for me to capture nice photos of the food. You foodies know what I'm talking about. Since this place is quite new, there weren't many people but I'm pretty sure it's going to get populated later on. So come here quick because the food is just banging!!!
So, lemme start off with the food. You'll probably say I am lying if I say everything tasted delicious. I am not lying, everything tasted delicious!! We ordered the rock shrimp, calamari, lemongrass prawns, Singapore fried noodles, Indian fried mee, Locomoco, and sichuan marlar beef. Everything I mentioned above was well seasoned, goes great with rice, cooked to perfection, and nicely decorated.
But the real highlight of the dish was the Singaporean chili crab!!! Holy! I have never had anything like this before. The chili crab will change your life!! You probably won't go back to ginger and scallion crabs anymore. The tomatoey chili was sweet with a hint of tang in it. I just kept spooning the sauce over my rice. So guys, next time you go, do me a favor and order it because it will change your life.
Asian fusion at it's best. Birthday person gets to eat for free, appetizer and entrée, and a drink!
Great happy hour specials.
At the time of this review, check in with the yelp app. for a free appetizer.
Came here for my birthday and the staff was awesome.
Must get the rock shrimp appetizer and their wings!
For the mains, I choose to get the spicy beef with brown rice. The beef was burning my mouth, but it was pretty good. It had a good amount of heat and spices. Keep in mind, the free birthday meal will be much smaller than their regular entrée portions, but with the free appetizer, I was pretty full after the meal ended.
My friends ordered pad thai, a tofu vegetarian platter, and they all had no complaints.
Surprisingly, the vegetarian platter came way last after everyone else got their main entrees. Our group was baffled why this came last when all the kitchen had to do was steam everything. But it tasted healthy and fresh.
They have a pretty good selection of beer, IPA and domestic beer, and a small wine selection.
After my group left the manager came by and she gave us some coupons to return.
We will definitely return!
