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.

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!
