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.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a lovely, well thought out meal at a thought out price to show another side of Korean cuisine that some may not be familiar with, especially the perilla seed oil cold noodles which was lovely and nutty and the naengguk with my meal I had tonight. Thank you again for the opening and definitely shall be bringing others if not me myself and I for another meal when the opportunity shows itself

Finally got to eat here after seeing into the buzzing restaurant a few times. Very nice staff helped us to work out the routine (select and pay for meat and fish) then taken to our bbq. Many different sauces and small dishes arrive. We really enjoyed the wagyu beef and the eel. The kimchi was fine, not too spicy.
