doodle: salt, sake, & sketch

“It's quite rare for me to want to post a review but man Doodle Izakaya was phenomenal. Buzzy atmosphere (groups were flooding in as I finished up), amazing food and great attentive service. The attention to detail for the food was next level, you can tell these are passionate chefs who care about quality. I've had a vast amount of karaage from a variety of places and this was the PINNACLE. I wouldn't be surprised if it was top 3 in the world. I just want to highlight the kind server who saw I was taking videos gave me a camera stand. Thank you.”

“Nice atmosphere and a great spot for photos, but the food was just average.. it looked much better than it tasted. 🥲 The only real highlights were the cheap draft beer and the overall vibe. Good place to hang out, but not for the food. The spaghetti and toast were overly creamy and quite heavy. The seafood didn’t taste fresh (possibly due to how it was cooked). Overall, the food quality could be improved.”

“Great food and overall experience. -The truffle toast was superb — I absolutely loved it. -The hotate pasta was delicious; quite spicy, and the hotate was very fresh. -The yakitori was excellent, with perfectly crispy chicken skin and tender chicken. Parking at rainhill or in front of the restaurant Recommended for hanging out with friends”

“Overall the food tasted good, and we enjoyed the Mentaiko pasta the most. When I went on Wednesday, most people were couples celebrating. The restaurant was a bit too bright inside. Alot of mosquitoes🥹”

“A friend recommended this place to me, so I decided to give it a try and I’m definitely not regretting it. The vibe is great, cozy, and lively in the true Izakaya style. The food is incredibly delicious and comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for good food, good vibes, and a relaxed night out. Highly recommend!”
