Went there last night as my first visit with couple of friends. We had spicy chicken stew and grilled dried cod fish dishes and we all loved it. Foods tastes like the way my mom cooks. Variety of food menus and wants to go back and try other dishes. Also, the price is reasonable and plenty of side dishes. Highly recommend

I have ordered bossam and goat soup here many times. The amount of bossam is not enough for my family, but it is really delicious, and the goat soup has a lot of meat, and the side dishes are all delicious. I have been to many restaurants but this one is above average.

They just rolled out a special menu?!?! I tried the don kat su and it was gooooood. The sauce seemed to be homemade , which is A. It wasnt overly fried, and not too greasy or thick..crispy outside and chewy inside. The prices werent bad for the meal, which was 13. Honestly, I shared it with wife, so the portion is actually good. Overall, every experience at Doori in term of price,food taste,quality, and the location is great. If you want some authentic Korean food for dining in or togo, definitely worth your They also had several other special menus that were released..so I gotta try em next time. The owners and servers are nice , but dont expect too much English here! They are authentic in Korean!! Check em out!

I ate Seolleongtang here, and it was a song. The soup was so great that I thought it was Korean.

I had gotten the chicken ginseng soup and although the wait was a bit long, it was definitely worth the wait. They packaged up the food so well and gave side dishes such as rice, kimchi, spicy fish cake and etc. The soup was a life changing experience, it was like soothing to my core and left me feeling fulfilled. My emotions were calm after eating the soup. In the soup. There was a whole small chicken and stuffed with dates, and rice. The rice inside the chicken became almost creamy like congee and was the star of the show, to me. The chicken was tender and light on my stomach and the side dishes paired well with the entire meal. I look forward to coming back to this restaurant and trying more dishes.
