About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
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.

    From the moment walking in we were greeting by the my charismatic manager. Dom took us through everything, was incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely interested in caring for they're guests. The dining room is really something special, the Doju team have created something magical and it shows. Menu is super seasonal, showcasing stunning produce that you'd only experience through the seasons from local growers. Chef is incredibly talented and passionate, you can see that in the food and how much care is given. Wines were amazing, great choices and there was nothing to fault. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening out. Thank you Doju team, Dom, and Chef Mika! You all made such an positive impact on our experience. We look forward to dining at your restaurant again.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten and now one of our favourite restaurants. The food is clean, precise and absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favour and experience Doju, you won’t regret it.

    As someone that eats out all the time (and all over the world), I think this was one of the best experiences that I have had in a long time. The food was perfection, delicious and of the highest quality. I went with a group and we all ordered the $125 tasting menu. Some of our group has special "needs" and they were lovely and accomodating. Our server was amazing and on top of everything. I am going back tomorrow!

    We had our best meal of the year in 2024 here and we were not disappointed upon our 2025 return. Food was exquisite and again the Barman, Hector, stole the show. He's a gem. His Espresso Martini is out of this world!

    Fantastic food, and outstanding service. We were walked through each course, each dish was something special, with a good combination of ingredients and flavors. The price overall was higher than I was expecting, but well worth the experience.

    The dinner was truly great, as we are celebrating my partner’s birthday and everything that we ordered is delish! 🫶🏻(bread, scallops, snapper and pork chop)
