I have had a lot of sushi in a little of places and this is by far the best sushi I've ever had. Order the chef's special and you will not be disappointed. read more

OMG! So we walk the streets of a 1800's gold rush of Murphy's, CA thinking how could a sushi restaurant work? Morgan, our waitress and sushi chef made it an experience you will not forget. The food is top shelf! You will not be disappointed! read more

Doke Sushi - Unicorn/Poseidon compliments to chef Celina! - Japanese Near Me - Murphys, California

Had the Chicken Karaage IT WAS OUTRAGEOUS. This is a tiny little place with a handful of tables but the quality of the food makes it worth waiting for. Service was OK. read more

Always love this sushi. Would be good anywhere, but surprisingly good for the foothills of CA. Love the Caterpillar, Rainbow, and Chef's special rolls. Veggie heads in my fam love the Miso, edamame, and Gaia rolls. CA roll is super for beginners. Bento box is great for the sushi-fearful. (Carry out is easy and timely.) Eating in is great -- fun atmosphere -- but get a Rez. Busy place. read more

Good sushi. Never disappointed. Friendly staff. Small but quaint nestled in Murphy's downtown

We live in Sonora, however drive over to Murphy's for our Sushi. Doke is a gem up here in the mountains. The Sushi chef is killer. The plates are beautiful, the fish is fresh and the vibe is on point. I would suggest reservations, especially on weekends. If you haven't eaten here, it's a MUST! read more

I do not understand how a restaurant with such amazing food can still be in business with the horrible service they have! The same waitress has been there for over a year and the couple of times we have been there nothing has change. Over 10 min just to get our drinks, had to call her over to our table to say we are ready to order, got our order wrong! Missing soup, wrong sushi roll, mix up with the bill, kept getting distracted instead of helping the customers. I personally thanked the chef for the great food we had but unfortunately this will be our last time patronizing this restaurant unless the staff changes. Sad read more

I heard the best wu tang clan song in here! Super sick octopus painting, my kids love the ramen. Mom loves tge tempura

This is a hidden gem. Sushi in the mountains you say? In small town Murphys? Yes. And it is very good. Come here to eat sushi, you won't regret it. read more

Doke Sushi - Sushi sake - Japanese Near Me - Murphys, California

Food was fantastic but the waitress is terrible. Busy talking. Took 15 minutes to do initial order. Food in 15 then asking for ginger... took another 10 minutes to get it. My order came 15 after everyone else's and was wrong. Asked for it to go. Not coming back. read more

To the staff who hung up on me multiple times, to the girl who talked and treated me like I was some horrible person. I've supported and loved this business for years and years. Sadly as much as I love the food I will never set foot here again. At my job, if I treat anyone with any unkind or even the slightest disrespect, I would lose money. I earn money from good reviews and going over the top. Communication is key in any customer service job. But you, whoever you are. Lack the ability to provide in a kind and understanding manner. That's sad. I even tried to make light of the situation only to be treated so rudely and hung up on over and over. I hope one day you understand the morals and concept of customer service. Adjust your attitude because you just lost your boss a very loyal and good customer. If deleted my review so now I will post on another page. Now it's on yelp. You can't delete from here. read more

I'm visiting a friend and we have been craving sushi so we came to this little place. We ordered the Calaveras, Big Trees, San Francisco and Firecracker rolls. The Calaveras roll was definitely my favorite. I'm not huge into raw fish, but the Big Trees roll was absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a roll with a lot of cream cheese, I would not suggest this roll. I personally thought it had the perfect ratio of cream cheese though. The San Francisco was pretty plain, but still delicious. I loved the Firecracker roll as well, but it wasn't too too spicy. Overall, had a wonderful visit and Matthew was a phenomenal waiter. read more

Ok, so I've been back twice within a week. I will say that the food is good, definitely try to go before it gets busy for the best service. The sushi was fresh, great texture as it should be. The first time there, the sticky rice was still a little wet and fell apart. The second time it was perfect. Still good either way!! The restaurant is small, but perfect for interacting with the chefs and other diners. It's actually kind of fun with music in the background and being able to speak with the chef and waitresses, they have personalities that are friendly and fun. read more

I love their food, honestly my favorite sushi place if all time but their waitresses are so terrible. I've never been treated so awful, every single time I come in. I took a long break from this place but it hasn't improved at all. Been in the service industry for over 10 years, doesn't take too much to treat customers with respect and dignity read more

I was not impressed. I came during COVID, when eating allowed was acceptable but not inside. Well they had people eating inside. It was small. Tiny. But the location was cute and the staff were nice enough. I'd probably enjoy walking the little area when the world opens up again. But, I just wanted Sushi and you guess it, small town with not much choices. So I picked up my 2 Rolls to go and went back to my Hotel. I wasn't even excited to eat here To be honest. But I wanted sushi. Not many good choices for rolls. All very plain Jane type sushi. Basic. And not that the sushi was bad/old, but definitely not the freshest either. I can't even remember what I got, it was unmemorable and I probably will just accept I won't be having sushi the next time I work from here. read more

customer service was terrible! called to place a phone order to go...was told that it would be about an hour...which is fine...then was told may be more like 1 1-2 to 2 hours...so what is it? placed our to go order...picked it up and one of the rolls was made wrong, and one of the rolls was not made at all. Was told that they were too busy to make the missing roll ...it would take too long...Excuse Me...you are the ones that messed up!!! we are locals and I will NEVER return!!!! read more

There is only one place, and we'll worth to visit, when it comes to sushi and Japanese food in Murphys..... and it is not because it is the only place. It is because it is dang good food and service. And catch this, I don't do sushi.... I always go with katsu chicken... however for my friends and acquaintances that do eat bait, including the Great Gal, they love Doke!!! read more

Amazing food and staff. I have lived here my whole life and still our favorite place to eat out.

We love Doke Sushi, but more than once, and especially tonight, the music is so loud we can't carry on a conversation with our friends across the table. The sushi is excellent though so we'll probably be back. read more

Zero stars if I could. I called in to ask their hours and was told 8:30. My response was, "See you soon". We got to the restaurant a half hour later. We walked in and they served the person behind us first. Funny enough that ladies "reserved table" was already given away. We then asked for a table, she walked around the restaurant, came back and said they were fully booked. I pointed out not all the tables had the "reserved" placard. She looked confused and was at a loss for words. So apparently they didn't want to serve us. read more

If your in Murphy's ca and looking for Sushi, then you must try Doke sushi. Make sure to call ahead for reservations as they are always booked. Reasonably priced and super delicious. read more

This is the first place I've had sushi since Covid-19 and I am so happy they're here. The rolls are big and really good. We had the Calaveras, Big Trees, San Francisco, and Firecracker rolls. The Calaveras was so good, very big and filling. The Big Trees has cream cheese in it, and at first it didn't seem like enough but it's the perfect ratio. The San Francisco was big and tasted fresh, even though there was tempura. The firecracker roll could be a little spicier, in my opinion, but the flavor was very well balanced. One of my favorite sushi places delivering great rolls. read more

Who would think that up in the Sierra mountains you would find such fresh and delicious Sushi! Such a place exists in Murphys CA. After a long day of hiking and seeing the sights we are starving. We picked up 4 rolls and took them back to the hotel for dinner. The rolls were very delicious...the staff was super helpful and friendly. The Firecracker Roll was my favorite...I loved the fresh Jalapeno peppers in the top. The spicy tuna hand rolls were super good too. I can't wait to return to Murphys for some more delicious sushi!! read more

You probably wouldn't expect sushi in Murphys to be great. But Doke is ! We're lucky to have this little gem here

Sushi is always fresh and fantastic. Tonight we sat at the bar and had a nice talk with the sushi chefs- it was very busy but they always find time to make things right and talk a bit. Great ambiance and Nigiri was fantastic. Tried a new role - Calaveras Role (I think) - was fantastic. Also had the smoked, marinated octopus/squid salad which is probably the best octopus dish I have ever had - the warm food chef is also extremely talented and has a great, laid-back attitude as well... I don't think you can go wrong here as everything coming out of that kitchen was a 5-star presentation. I have to be critical on one point though, our waitress was nice but kept NOT WRITING our order and kept forgetting things- first, she forgot the roll, then she forgot the edamame, then she remembered my tea but forgot the cup, and then, finally, she forgot the side order of avocado for my girlfriend - TWICE...very confusing and disappointing in front of your significant other. My recommendation is for people to take their job seriously and if it is busy, write down the order and don't say "sorry 3 or 4 times" - in German, if you say sorry more than once, it is an insult- it means "I am not sorry because I keep making the same stupid mistake at your expense"- more or less- so don't say you are sorry if you do not mean it - write down the order and don't waste guests time or the sushi chefs having to fix it all and make them do your job for you. That is my take but I still tipped anyway, which I will not do again if that happens- it is an embarrassment to a fine establishment. Look forward to coming again and either ordering with the sushi chefs directly or having a waiter/waitress who is respectful of guests. Waiters and waitresses have a hard job- I have done it- but you also can get paid 500 a night in tips if you know what you are doing - so know what you are doing is the message. read more

The food is pretty good I love the Udon soup however we were rushed out by the waitress. Not the best sevice and not cheap. Dining experience could be better. read more

Sushi is great, but I wish we could have had time to enjoy it. Met friends for dinner, and was rudely told we had to finish our meal, (which was $200) and leave because other people were waiting for our table. The waitress told us probably 5 times and seemed like we were putting her out. We were only there for an hour. As locals, we felt so mistreated. I understand that there are limited tables, but at least let us know we only have an hour to eat when we made the reservation. We would have never made the reservation if we knew that, especially when we try to go to dinner with friends to catch up. We just thought we would have been treated better. Unfortunately, we won't be back. We hear this is a common thing there.... read more

The food is good here, but I came for lunch and since they close at 2.30 , at 2.35 the ride waitress was trying to bring us doggie bags, and take our food away. I had ordered a large sake and we had just gotten our food about ten mins prior. Um. I have no desire to pay for a nice meal and be thrown out hostily by a rude waitress. I will not.return. if you don't have time to let us eat, please announce that before we order. Rude rude rude rude rude read more

I'm a local, so I was happy there's at least somewhere to get fish/sushi. I'm giving it a couple of stars because the quality of this fish is OK and the staff is really nice. However, it is ridiculously overpriced and they really skimped. I have eaten here twice (though before I just got 2 nigiris), and I recently got the Serpent (for "unagi lovers") which boasts of having "plenty of unagi," but 3/4 of it was rice. I included pictures of a center and end piece, which should each have unagi, but you can see one of them has no filling, and the other is barely perceivable. The scallop nigiri was also minuscule and 1/2 the size usual size. As someone who has eaten a lot of sushi, but in the US and many times in Japan, I was rather disappointed, even for a small town. $23 later, I was still very hungry, and I'm a 110lb lady that usually doesn't eat that much. read more
