I came here for the first time during lunch and was sad to hear they recently got rid of their salad bar. I mourn Sweet Tomatoes regularly because where can you find a good salad bar these days? We were told they discontinued the buffet because they weren't getting enough business to sustain it and had to throw away a lot of food. The inside is beautifully decorated, but it was empty when we arrived at 1pm on a Saturday so it felt a little weird. A few more groups did come in after us though so we weren't completely alone. One party left upon hearing there was no salad bar. There was only one worker acting as host, waiter and busser, which I assume is due to lack of business. It took us an hour to get our entrees due to the added wait time of only one worker taking orders. His handheld machine used to taking orders also stopped working halfway through and he had to write done the rest of the orders. Then he came back and found out none of the digital orders went through and had to retake half of our orders. He told us they hired a new chef from out of town and are putting the finishing touches on a new menu with a grand opening soon. This building has been home to several different restaurants over the years and despite what I think is a good location, I fear it could be cursed. The food was good and I enjoyed my meal. I hope their future plans work out and they are able to stay open. read more

Happy Mother's Day dinner for me! In case you don't know Dosan has changed it up....for the better! In my opinion I loved the soup and salad bar, But.....the new high end plated meals are AMAZING! The seasonings are perfect! The veggies cooked perfect, the garlic mashers, so yummy! Make sure you the menus carefully we order extra sides we didn't need. Everything is competitively priced for the area, cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is still friendly and welcoming. The chef came out to our table to make sure everything was good. We had fire shrimp appetizer, crusted salmon, with mashed garlic potatoes, veggie medley and rice with a side of salad. I can't wait for my next trip I want to try the ribeye steak with veggie medley, and garlic mashers! Sounds perfect ! Happy eating in Clovis read more

Giving Dosan a 3-stars because the space itself is honestly beautiful. The outside is what first caught our attention, and the inside is just as nice--very clean, stylish, and it definitely looks like it should be a popular spot. But every time we drive by, there's barely anyone there, and after visiting, I understand why. They really need better marketing and more of a clear identity. We didn't even know what kind of food they served until we walked in. It feels like they're trying to be high-end, but the restaurant has a bit of an identity crisis. We later found out it used to be a buffet, and now it seems like they're trying to rebrand without really creating enough buzz around it. They need promotions, events, maybe even live music--something to bring people in. The menu is extremely limited, and there's no kids' menu at all, which was frustrating for a family dinner. They ended up handing us the lunch menu just to compensate. My daughter ordered the Alfredo pasta, and it honestly didn't taste like Alfredo--it mostly tasted like oil. Adding Parmesan helped a little, but it was still disappointing. The bread was decent enough. I ordered the cod with rice and asparagus, and it was okay--probably the best part of the meal--but nothing that made me feel like I'd come back for it. The waiter was kind and doing their best to answer questions, so no complaints there. Overall, it just felt like a restaurant with potential but no real direction. Nice atmosphere, decent service, but the food and overall experience didn't match the high-end vibe they seem to be aiming for. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return. read more

We went here in late May. We loved it when it was Straw Hat. The menu has changed and the ribeye sandwich is amazing. The drinks are mixed really well, we were definitely happy with our experience. We are excited to come back and try other items on the menu! read more

Came during my hour lunch because I wanted something healthy and found reviews online about their salad bar. Took some time to be greeted but once I paid $15 for the salad and soup bar things went quick! They have lots of options for salads, a wide variety and lots of dressings as well. They had 2 soups at the time and I went with the pozole they had! It was pretty good for a place in clovis like this. The waitress came back and told me all about the happy hour and other things they offer since I didn't have time for the full experience! I'd love to try to meat station and other side they have. I'll definitely be coming back here when I have more time to sit and eat! (Nice vibe inside and a good replacement for sweet Tomatoes) read more

I'm not sure if it's because this beautiful establishment has changed hands four times since I've been in Fresno. I don't know why people can't get their traction here. I'm thinking it's because of the lack of restaurant experience because it's a large space and I have tried each establishment. Out of all the experiences that I paid in this establishment, this was the weakest demonstration of food experience. They could put more into learning the local preferences, and quality for a beautiful place like this. I feel if they put it together, they could get out of the red lines and be successful. read more

I would give Dosan FIVE STARS for ambience! The open dining area has comfortable booths surrounding the periphery of the room. The ONLY place in FRESNO/CLOVIS area, that plays low volume, instrumental jazz in the background. It's a pleasant and peaceful environment. Truly a unique and peaceful atmosphere. They also have a patio, that could be enjoyable in the evenings. We were here two days after the opening, so one must give them time to get up and running. They had various pickled items on the salad bar (yellow cauliflower, cucumbers, and large radish slices) and a good variety of greens. The potato salad was delicious! The pasta items and wedge potatoes were VERY tasty, however, they were not 'hot' . . . They will have to experiment on tweaking their heating elements, as those items were just lukewarm, as well as my carved turkey. At the carving station, you can ask them to 'assemble' a sandwich for you! My husband came back with a pastrami sandwich that he enjoyed. Dessert consisted of a variety of; cookies, brownies, muffins, and rice crispy bars. It was $25 each for all you can eat, and drinks are separate. Service is friendly. read more

Went on opening day expecting first day hiccups. $25 for the all you can eat buffet and another $9 for one trip to the carving station. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. The gentleman at the carving station was very polite and agreeable. Everything at the salad bar was fresh and delicious. Dressings were good. Besides the salad bar, the best items were the house made pickles, mustard, pepperoni pizza, and Italian wedding soup. There were many things that could be improved. Overall, almost everything needed more seasoning, including salt. The meats were a disappointment. The pastrami was juicy and tender, but barely had a hint of pastrami spice. The turkey and beef were dry and mealy. The au jus had a layer of oil on the top. The sauerkraut and grilled onions were kind of flavorless too. The mac and cheese looked amazing, but tasted like nothing. Corn bread was dry and crumbly and biscuits were rock hard. The red sauce for the pasta tasted like tomato paste. The desserts were just ok, nothing special. All in all, $9 for the carving station option would be a great deal if the meats were better, and $25 for just the salad bar is not a great value. We may go back again, but not for at least a few months. read more

This place was very clean, open and airy. The service was excellent. You can see in my photos what we had - of course, we had to trade small slices with each other of our food: it was all very good, especially the chicken panini. They also have a soup and salad bar. They had a special going on for $5 margaritas. I plan on going back. read more

Lazette was an amazing waitress! Very kind and friendly and did everything possible to make sure we were taken care of.

The restaurant itself is nice, comfortable, nice atmosphere. Staff extremely attentive! The food is ok. Not bad, but not great. I won't go there again due to the cost. $24.99 for the buffet and $4.00 for a soda. If it was $20 including a drink, yes, I'd say it's worth it.... Maybe. read more

I tried this place a few days before thanksgiving, they have a small carving station with small selection of meats, the beef was super dry and stringy, the turkey was delicious, they also had some German sausage that was tasty, the soups were not good IMO, tasted like canned goods, they also have a small salad station, I really liked it and wished they provided an option of salad only because sometimes you don't feel like eating meats, but I guess Fresno has better places for just salads. They also have a pasta and pizza section, all very basic and not appetizing at all. Brought my BF to try it with me for the first time and he agreed that this was a one time thing. read more

Nice American style buffet! Amazing price at $25!I appreciated the carving station but the prime rib had too much of a fat cap. The meat was tender though! I wish the food was hotter temperature wise, but overall an okay selection of food. Definitely doesn't have as large of a selection as a typical Chinese buffet but I had a good experience. It was clean and the service was very attentive. read more

I have missed Sweet Tomatoes since Covid killed it. Dosan is the closet thing to Sweet Tomatoes I have found. It's only been open 3 weeks and undoubtedly they will have growing pains but my husband and I and another couple really enjoyed our meal. My salad was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. The carving station was tasty as well and the server was accommodating. Overall the staff was very friendly and attentive and open to suggestions and the meal was as good as Sweet Tomatoes (which I loved). I do recommend giving Dosan a try and a chance. I really hope they stick around. We need healthy restaurant choices!! Oh, and did I mention that they have a full bar! Oh yeah!! That's a Sweet Tomatoes upgrade!! Give Dosan a try!! read more

This place just opened and I was very curious about it. They describe it as Sweet Tomatoes meets Silver Dollar Hofbrau. I think it has inspiration from those places but I want to see it have its own identity. There is a salad bar. It was very good. Would like to see a bit more topping options and maybe some more pre-made salad options for those who like them already made. They had corn bread and rolls. They had a hot food section with roasted vegetables, pastas, potatoes, enchiladas, pizza and bread sticks. They also have a meat carving station where you can get different types of meat and pilaf and mashed potatoes. The price is $24.99 per person. Drinks are not included. A little pricey. I think the drink should be included with that price. But I'll go again. They were very attentive. Even though it's buffet style, they were always checking in to make sure we were doing well, clearing plates and offering refills on our drinks. Also, whenever they brought out a fresh pizza, they walked it around to the tables in the room and served you table-side before putting it back at the buffet. I'm very happy to have a restaurant like this in Clovis again. The only other salad bar is at Sizzler's and that is across town. read more

First time here and everything I try was delicious and tasty. Our waiter was very polite and kind. I will definitely come back again. The ambiance was very nice as well Love the music read more

After reading the reviews and hearing about this place . Went to try it out for mothers day and as the reviews and there website and menus show a salad bar buffet which was compared to Sweet tomatoes THEY DO NOT HAVE A SALAD BAR BUFFET I was very disappointed when I arrived. Employees stated they will.know longer be offering whats been in the past or on uelp or website but they have a full menu . We decided not to stay and went else where. If going for the sweet tomatoes, vibe and salad bar buffet type of restaurant. It's not there, go elsewhere. read more

Not like Silver Dollar, Not really like Tomatoes, However the Salad Bar is one of the best in Fresno/Clovis, I was buying $4 bottled Beers, The carving Station also has some little Gems like the Brats and the Brisket. read more

Ate there yesterday with partner and daughter. Partner and I don't eat meat, so we had the soup and salad bar. Quite good. Extensive selections. The soups (tomato bisque and pozole) were also good, as were the rolls. Daughter got the full meal. The meats were sad. Tri-tip/brisket was dry and tough. Turkey was meh, and the ham was not even meh. The ribs were ok. Baked, not grilled. Dessert selection was sad. Service was good. In conclusion, we'll be back for the salad bar. read more

Dosan A Social Eatery - Au jus Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Clovis, California

I went on Saturday with my wife brother and his wife. I was really excited to have a silver dollar ish resturant. Great ambiance. The building is just huge. The customer service was attentive. Price was high. 25 dollars with no drink but water. 3 dollars to get a soda at a buffet made me feel out of place. The salad bar was lacking, you get a better salad bar at pizza factory. They did offer 2 soups, one was minestrone the other was califlower soup. I didnt try either. Their orange chicken has the same flavor as the kirkland brand i buy. The noodles that they served looked delicous but were disgusting.. Their pizza when fresh was ok. Otherwise it tasted like frozen red baron pizza. I had a warm turkey and pastrami sandwhich (split with my wife) and i was highly disapointed the meat was just rewarmed or over cooked. The dessert we had was a pudfing which i think was supposed to stay cold which it wasnt. Also what i think was supposed to be 3 leche cake. It turned into sluge with a bite. And the brownie looked like cheap store bought but they were worse. They tasted sugarless like a keto cake. I dont imagine ill be going back. I really wanted this place to work but it just doesnt. read more

Went to try Dosan with my family. The pros: the salad bar was great with a lot of options. The soup selection is limited but the soup available was good. They have a full bar and craft cocktails which were good. The cons: they have a hot selection of meats and hot sandwiches that was ok but it was hard to get served by the wait staff. The deserts were limited and didn't look very appetizing, we didn't try them. I think fewer options might be a better way to go or only have the buffet available with the soup and salad and have ordering for all other items. read more

Not enough choices of food and the food was not very good. I would not go back again. However, the ambiance and the service was great.

Dosan's no longer offers a buffet. They are changing their menu. We arrived for lunch and we were handed an abbreviated lunch menu consisting mainly of a few sandwiches. Fettuccine and two plates. We were the only people in the restaurant. We asked about a vegetarian option. There was not one although they allowed my dining partner to create a grilled cheese, veggie sandwich..our steak sandwiches were overcooked and dry. We were very disappointed. Service was thoughtful but server had few options to present. read more

So gross. The meat was dry. The pasta was greasy. Didn't even try the chili because it looked like brown water. Couldn't try the lemon chicken because the spoon fell into the pan. The chicken in the sweet and spicy sauce was like jerky. The Mac and cheese literally had no flavor. Definitely not coming back. Gave up waiting for the check and had to go up to pay read more

Dosan A Social Eatery - Roast beef that was so dry it was hard to chew. Ribs tasted reheated. - Sandwiches Near Me - Clovis, California

To begin with, I hadn't been to Sweet Tomatoes while they were in town so I am unsure how close this establishment is to filling in the ecological niche it left behind, but I will have to say that it is one of the best buffets that I have been to. I went on Tuesday, 11/13 and was happily greeted by the staff. Gabriel was incredibly friendly and inviting. I unfortunately did not get the names of the other staff, but they were on par with their friendliness. The food stations, tables, and overall vibes of the establishment were very clean. My water never ran dry and all interactions were courteous! It was $24.99 for access to the salads as well as carving station. I tried to sample a bit of everything. From the carving station I tried the roast beef, pastrami, brazed beef, and turkey with some mashed potatoes (and turkey gravey) and rice pilaf. The brazed beef and pastrami were good on their own, but would shine greater as a sandwich (which I believe you have the option of making but I did not do so this time). The turkey (slice of breast) was moist and had good flavor as was the roast beef. I had no complaints with the sides and thoroughly enjoyed them. I tried some chicken noodle soup and was not disappointed with the flavoring. I then tried some of the build your own nachos, a slice of olive and cheese pizza, and a piece of chicken. The nachos were great and the cheese sauce appeared to have been made from scratch? The consistency was a little different, but no issues otherwise. The pizza had been sitting a little bit but I did not find it to be dry and thought it had a nice crunch to the crust. The chicken appeared to be a buffalo sauce style, and was moist as well. I then tried a few of the pre-made salads: brocoli, chinese(?), potato, and pasta. I liked all salads but found myself gravitating towards the brocoli salad greatly and would return just for that. I finished the culinary venture with the offered desserts: chocolate chip cookie, vanilla pound cake, brownie (with walnuts), and a donut. All were good, though I would rank the donut below the other desserts. All in all, I enjoyed my visit and the food offered. I liked the meat offerings and if other varieties of proteins were offered would like to see that they may be broken into separate stations for those with allergens and other dietary restrictions (i.e. pork separated from poultry and beef and those separate from sea food). I look forward to seeing how this establishment grows and offers as well as my eventual return! read more

The food was great I took my family out and the atmosphere was amazing. There was enough space for my stroller and not feel crowded. The service was excellent everyone was super friendly!

Their salad bar is nice probably the best in the the area. But their brats were tasteless the turkey was dry and the worst was that we got there just after opening and stayed for an hour and they didn't have roast beef. It was disappointing because that was the reason I went. The space was very clean and fresh I hope they do the upkeep so that doesn't change. Lastly, there was one server for a restaurant that seats 60-100. He was hustling with 5 tables. read more

The food quality is not worth it! Turkey was extremely dry,roast beef way undercooked, salad bar not fresh. The pastas were all dry and seemed to be sitting there from all day. We had to ask for constant refills in different empty platters such as bread, mash potatoes and desserts.Sodas were flat! It really seemed that wha was served was leftovers!! For $25 a person not worth it. This place needs a lot of improvement. We went for dinner (party of 8) with family visiting out of town and left incredibly disappointed. We were rushed out of there since they started closing each station one after another! read more

I have to say, I am disappointed in the consistency of this place. We tried it the day after Thanksgiving and it was pretty good! Good enough to go again. It wasn't amazing, however it was still good. I took my husband and the carving stating meats were so dry. The brownies were hard. Cake was dry. A few things were good and other stations were dried up and scary. My son went with his girlfriend on his birthday and was let down. They said nothing was fresh, the cake was dry and found paper in the pudding cup. There were no other diners and the service was lacking. I'm disappointed as I recommended it. So without consistency, I won't be spending $25 plus per person to hope the food is fresh. read more

The service and atmosphere were exceptional. The decorations are beautiful. But I came here to stuff my face, not my eyes. The salad bar is organized oddly, I found myself jumping from one side to the next to get what I wanted. The carving station left a lot to be desired as the carver decides how much you get. Everything else was very underwhelming. Pizza looked like it had been there for hours with highly congealed cheeses. The mozzarella sticks were almost solid. The desserts, which they claim are made in house definitely look like they come from Costco and were dryer than the Sahara. read more

This is one of those places you'd see on Kitchen Nightmares. Didn't stay more than 20 minutes, and I should've known from how vacant the dining area was. Not even the hostess was enthusiastic about my group coming in, it was more like surprise and now I know why. The pizza was like a cracker with pizza like toppings on it. The cracker that wished to one day be a pizza. The rice pilaf was half cooked having semi soft semi dry bits. The fruit salad is a bowl of soft grapes. The salad bar was a highlight, but you would be the one making it so... . "But what about the carving station?" You may ask, well if you like steamed beef that manages to be dry then you're in luck cause that what they got. Beef with the texture of a sham-wow. The soup was honestly good, but your options are Turkey A and Turkey B. So as for the staff they were no where to be found, no switching out the trays, no temperature checks, nothing. For the sum of $25 per person as it stands right now it's currently not worth it. Overall improvement MUST be made. read more

The newly renovated restaurant is very nice. The bar area is really good. Great TVs and great bartender. Augie. The salad bar is decent and the carving station is good as well. For $25 it's all you can eat. If you're a big eater, it's a good spot to go to. If you can only handle small meals like a salad, half the price and you can just enjoy the salad bar. It's good. I will be back again for sure. read more
