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
