Dozo is now at Friendly Street Garden (https://www.thegardenonfriendly.com/) and open every day but Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This is my fave food truck of the bunch. Dozo have a bunch of menu items I don't often see at Japanese restaurants. I love the little skewered options, like the eggplant or zucchini and the hangar steak is absolutely delectable. They have onagiri, which are the perfect little side of rice+. And lots more. Gluten-free options are clearly marked. There are plenty of tables at Friendly St Garden, and inside, you can get drinks, including free water, and there is a bathroom. Parking is on the side of the building, or on the street. read more

Absolutely horrible experience Waited 30 minutes for a sandwich, and before I could even eat it, some guy walking by bumped into me and knocked my entire meal onto the ground. I said, "Dude, WTF?" and he just walked away and left. I brought my food back to the truck and explained what happened. I was told to just throw it away, so I did. Then I stood there for another 5 minutes before anyone even asked if I needed another one. When they finally did, I was told that if I wanted another sandwich, I would have to pay for it. I understand that the guy who knocked my food over wasn't an employee, but the way this place handled the situation was honestly ridiculous. I waited 30 minutes for food that I never even got to eat, and instead of showing even a little courtesy or trying to make the situation right, they basically told me I could buy another one. No apology, no offer to help, no attempt to make things right. Just terrible customer service. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

I had a mixed experience here.The customer service was very friendly and was excited to try the onigiri. I ordered one tuna and one chicken. The presentation was nice, but there was pretty much no meat in the chicken one. It was pretty much a giant rice ball. The tuna onigiri was mostly filled with mayo. I was disappointed in the order read more

I love the hanger steak and chicken teriyaki. They have tons of gluten free options (menu is marked). They used to have these king oyster mushrooms that were SO GOOD, I don't enjoy the shiitake as much. read more

Dozo - Teriyaki chicken - Ramen Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I tried the new location at Friendly Garden. Food was ready fast. Both dishes I tried were disappointing. The eggplant skewers tasted quite bad, and eggplant is my favorite vegetable, so it's rare for me to say that. The eggplants were undercooked, rubbery, apparently grilled without any oil. If you don't use oil on eggplants it turns into leather. There was a weird tasting salty sauce on top that I found unpleasant-- I don't know what was in there. It didn't taste like miso. Marinated tofu yakisoba had a tasty sauce on it, and a nice amount of veggies, but the tofu was not really marinated. It tasted like plain cubes that had been grilled, with no flavor permeating the tofu. The eggplant is not worth ordering again. The yakisoba was not bad, but just so-so. I'm not sure whether to try more dishes in future... read more

Ordered the okonomiyaki (again), onigiri, and katsu sando. The okonomiyaki was really liquidy again, unfortunately. I've had okonomiyaki in at least a half dozen other restaurants, as well as made it at home, so I have some points of reference. The onigiri seaweed was soggy instead of crispy. The katsu sando was good. I am really glad this place exists, since there isn't anywhere like it in Eugene. Hope they can rework their okonomiyaki/takoyaki batter sometime! read more

My wife and I ordered the yakisoba noodles, hers with chicken, mine with tofu. Not good at all. We took our friends there for a treat and they liked their food okay, ours was almost inedible with just a salty flavor and the veggies mostly just cabbage. Extremely disappointing and not at all what was picture on their menu. We should have taken ours back, but I hate doing that and it felt awkward with our friends there. We ended up tossing most of ours in the garbage. To add insult to injury, the prices were significantly higher than show on their website. I would never eat here again. read more

Love the new location and good food. Gyoza was pan fried just like I like it and the Irigiri was good. read more

Dozo - Ramen, Gyoza and Tuna Irigiri - Ramen Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Dozo is an awesome addition to the food trucks in the Friendly Garden! I've seen it before at its past location in south Eugene and have been wanting to try. I got the egg salad sandwich and koji chicken onigiri. I didn't really know what to expect with the onigiri. The chicken was almost mixed into a paste with mayo and lots of green onions. It was good! A nice snack but I probably wouldn't get it again considering the other more intriguing menu items. The egg salad sando was really delicious. I'm not usually an egg salad person but I was intrigued by the Japanese style of it which I ended up really liking! It was so creamy and flavorful, the best egg salad I have ever had. The bread was also really yummy. Nicely toasted, I think they bake it fresh. My whole meal ended up being only 12$! Overall, Dozo is an affordable, tasty Japanese food truck. Would definitely recommend trying if you happen to be in the area! read more

Was looking for a place to eat that everyone that I was with could agree on. We chose this place. We wanted to really like it, unfortunately no one was wowed. I had the Green Salad and the Shitake Gyoza. It was fine, my favorite part was probably their salad dressing on the salad. The guys were really nice that were serving, but this one just didn't impress. read more

There Katsu sandwich took me back to being in Japan. Very welll prepared and the pork was juicy and crispy.

Ordered two of the chicken rice balls, expecting actual chicken in rice, it was basically the taste and texture of tuna salad inside a scoop of rice, for 5 dollars. I literally ate half of one and threw them out. Asked the guy if I could get a container of pork broth, to which he also declined with no explanation and then just turned his back and ignored me. he's one of those kitchen people that thinks he's more talented than he actually is. Big ego, bad food, unaccommodating. Unimpressive combo. Good luck with that buddy... His sous chef was at least personable, that was the positive. read more

I wanted something small and simple to eat during a night out with friends at Friendly Garden. Gyoza sounded like it would fit the bill as a simple comfort food. So I ordered. And waited...and waited...and waited. I'm pretty patient, but I realized it must have been at least half an hour. Went to inquire about my order and was met with confusion amongst the workers. It was finally determined that my order was given away to another person. They apologized and told me they would get another order going. A shorter wait later, my buzzer goes off and I went to pick up my order. What I was presented with after the long wait was a small container with 6 very small gyoza. For $10, I was at least expecting them to be larger and handmade. These were literally the tiny frozen ones I buy when I'm too lazy to make them by hand at home. To add insult to injury, I don't think they had even attempted to brown them. So what I was left with were 6 tiny, sticky gyoza that stuck together to form one big gyoza that fell apart as I tried to pry them apart to dip them. The owner should be embarrassed to charge this much and present customers with this, especially after having waited for so long to get it. At least when I make frozen gyoza at home, I brown them correctly. I also realized I actually paid $12 for them because I was dumb enough to tip them 20% at the tip prompt. Ugh. Won't be going here again. read more

Been meaning to try this as it's near my place and the menu looked delicious. Sorry I waited so long... the panko crusted chicken breast was tender & delicious! The homemade tartar sauce was super yummy (I don't normally love tartar sauce, but this paired well). My mushroom skewer with Red miso, chestnut, and black garlic was better than the ones I used to get all the time at Meiji. I'll be back to try the ramen! read more

I have been looking for Okonomiyaki to try for the first time from here to Portland and one day I came across this place and saw they had it so the task of going had to start! We drove to Springfield and found Dozo, which was easy to find. Got there right as they opened and tried the spread of Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki, and the Tonkatsu Sando. The Okonomiyaki with pork belly was amazing! First time trying it and it was to me the best thing of the night. I have seen it on shows where the cabbage was shredded, but here it was cut coarsely and was a great bite amongst the other flavors. The pork belly also had a crisp feel to them as it was draped on top of the Okonomiyaki. The sauce was full of ginger taste and eating it on a cold day while it was warm was an added bonus. The Sando was number 2 on things to try. The pork was juicy and the breading just right when it came to crispiness. The bread was soft and the sauces were complimentary to the Tonkatsu. The takoyaki was the first time I had it and I don't know if the middle was supposed to be liquid in the middle, so the texture was a bit off for me. Although there are plenty of octopus chunks in it. The staff was amazingly friendly and made our first experience awesome. Please give these folks a chance their food is amazing. We wanted to try the Ramen too, but we were too full to attempt it. But this will give us the chance to go back for the ramen and the Okonomiyaki again. read more

Worst miso soup ever! It tasted like soy sauce. Will not be returning. Dozo. And the chicken seemed like all fatty pieces. No comparison to the refined quality of Masa's. read more

WOW! The pork belly was *incredible* in the truest sense of the word. I also had the mushroom and zucchini skewers, which were delicious, but the pork belly is no joke the best pork belly I have ever had, almost like I've never even had pork belly or pork at all before this. Maybe I'm being dramatic but I feel like that was a life changing pork belly experience, hahaha. read more

My friends are wild about this place so I thought I'd give them a try in their new location. Tonkatsu Sando was crisp with a great sauce to sandwich ratio. The miso eggplant was tender with all the umami. But the deboned chicken wings filled with dumpling filling and deep fried? I was won over. The staff was friendly and efficient. It's a nice addition to the growing food cart pod in the south hills. read more

Dozo - Miso eggplant, Tonkatsu sando and chicken wing dumplings. - Ramen Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Oh man. I'm compelled to review. Tonkatsu Ramen and pork gyoza. Soup base flavorless. Pork not appetizing. Runny egg (I know it's supposed to be this way) not helping. Sprouts not fresh. Gyoza gummy and not hot.... Really sorry. read more

I dust off Yelp to leave reviews on places that deserve it. I ordered the Tonkatsu Sando, Egg Sando, Okonomiyaki, Saba Onigiri, and Chicken Skin. All were amazing, the Tonkatsu sando was amazingly well cooked, crispy even on a 15 minute drive home. Try these guys out, they bring something that is largely missing in Eugene's food scene. read more

Best pork belly ramen in Eugene. The dashi (soup base) was delicious and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Generous portions: eggs, thick succulent pork slices, and bamboo shoots.... Really worth the visit. Affordable at $15 a bowl. You will not regret trying their ramen. We look forward to tasting their other dishes. We also loved eating outside--festive atmosphere since it's just next to the Swallowtail distillery and their outdoor eating area. read more

I ordered Takoyaki. They were extremely hot and yummy. Two cooks/servers were very friendly. Good service I will try Yakisoba next time

My favorite place to eat after a long day of work. The tonkatsu sandos are to die for.

I love this food cart! I'm happy to have some authentic Japanese food options in Eugene. The cooks are really friendly and you can tell they are passionate about the food that they make. I've tried almost all of their menu items and i have yet to be disappointed. They also have fantastic specials read more

had heard good recommendations and liked the vibe of the online presence here, but unfortunately after our first visit at the new location, i won't be repeating any of them to anyone else. i'm a pretty competent home cook, and i just can't justify going out for food that i can make as good or better at home - unfortunately for both this establishment and myself, in this case, i don't think there's anything on the menu that will tempt me again. the shokupan and tonk sauce are both good, and i did not try the katsu, ramen, or takoyaki, so maybe that's where they shine. alas, what i got was a somewhat soggy, sticky onigiri, some flabby, underseasoned chicken skin yaki, and a $15 "squid" okonomiyaki that was undercooked, lacking in adequate veggies, and clearly stuffed with both calamari rings and baby octopus tentacles, as one finds together in a big bag in a costco freezer. i don't appreciate being sold mismarked food. biting into a baby octopus without expecting it felt really awful, honestly! i make okonomiyaki at home pretty frequently, and what i was served here was frankly insulting. the sauce was good, but the food underneath, what little of it i could actually stomach, was, as with everything else, very underseasoned. i would be shocked if the ingredient cost of what i was served came up to more than $3, and they clearly could have used to spend more than the ten minutes or so on cooking it then it took for our entire order. the sando was pretty good, but even then, it was underseasoned by my taste, and the proportion of bread to filling was off (the bread was cut a bit too thick. maybe they'll get it together after they settle more into their current location, but as it is, i won't be going back without very strong evidence that things have changed significantly. read more
