DokoDemo in East Village
Shin Takagi wanted to bring the authentic taste and flavor of Japanese street food to NYC, so he and his business partner Kazu Kamehara, who together owns 96 restaurants in Japan, opened DokoDemo in East Village early this summer. At DokoDemo, you can order favorites like okonomiyaki and takoyaki at the counter and watch the food being prepared right before your eyes in the open kitchen.
Sukiyaki Omelet
Tender slices of beef is wrapped with thin layers of fluffy egg omelet in this delicious, shareable side dish. The Sukiyaki Omelet is topped with generous amount of scallions. Eat it as served or drizzle some hot sauce.
Takoyaki
A fan favorite, the Takoyaki - or balls stuffed with octopus - has perfectly crispy exterior with soft, doughy interior. The Takoyaki at DokoDemo is made with octopus, cabbage, carrots, and flour batter and topped with bonito flakes, kewpie mayo, and sweet brown drizzle. You can either order 4 or 8 balls of takoyaki.
Yakisoba
The pan-fried Yakisoba - which can be topped with your choice of pork, beef, octopus, or shrimp with either the classic or soy sauce - is generously portioned. The dish includes a bed of grilled noodles with chunks of cabbage, pickled radishes, scallions, bonito flakes, and a protein of your choice.
Okonomiyaki
My personal favorite at DokoDemo, the Okonomiyaki - or savory Japanese pancakes - was such a delight to the palate. The crispy surface and edges of the okonomiyaki was perfectly balanced with the soft, chewy inside that features batter with cabbage, radish, scallions, and other vegetables. Like the Yakisoba, you can top the okonomiyaki with four different types of protein. The dish is served with squirts of mayo, bonito flakes, and sweet sauce.
