Reviews Summary

Dorinku Tokyo is lauded for its creative Japanese street food, with standouts like the Carbonara Udon and Shaka Shaka fries. Diners praise the amazing food presentation, delicious flavors, and the vibrant atmosphere. While many highlight exceptional service from staff members like Zach and Sora, a few reviews mention negative experiences with service, particularly near closing time.

"We came here for my son's birthday celebration. From the moment you walk in, you are sweetly welcomed. The food was as amazing as the customer service from Sora. She was so accommodating and kind. Thank you for the dessert for his birthday. He loved it."

"Tired out of my mind and Zachary(?) our waiter for the evening, was absolutely phenomenal. His engagement was wonderful and he managed to bring the atmosphere up in an instant. His enthusiasm was infectious, and the way he engaged with the other patrons was heartwarming, the younger ones at the table next to us were absolutely loving his engagement and laughing at his jokes that he took the time to make with them wile still fulfilling to his duties as our server.

5/5 stars, amazing!"

Guide to My Favourite Asian Soups in the City – 20 Spots to Satisfy Comfort Soup Cravings in Edmonton – LINDA HOANG

Okay so technically I don’t think this dish counts as a “soup” lol but the creamy, comforting, hot stone Carbonara Udon from Dorinku Tokyo is an amazing dish and for the purposes of this blog post I’m going to categorize it as a soup as it gives me major soup vibes, lol. The creamy carbonara sauce is so plentiful and thick it’s like an udon carbonara soup with bacon, parmesan, poached egg and scallions, this is one of the most popular dishes from Dorinku Tokyo (one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in town), and a must-order (whether it is officially a soup or not lol).
