Inspired by Izakayas, a type of popular Japanese bar, Dorinku’s vision is to whisk Edmontonians away to Japan for an authentic Japanese street food experience right here in the city of champions. If you’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing what it’s like to dine-in at an izakaya in Japan, the mood is lively yet laid-back with a welcoming atmosphere. A place where the locals go to enjoy food and drinks, especially at night.

When you enter Dorinku, you’ll be greeted enthusiastically in Japanese and treated to an authentic menu that will have your mouth watering. You’ll then be surrounded by groups of people having a great time while enjoying Dorinku’s Tokyo street food fusion.

What is “street food” exactly? Street Food is hugely popular all around the world. Eating from stalls and vendors has transformed its image during the early 21st Century to become one of the trendiest ways to enjoy a meal. Japan is well known for being one of the global capitals for food lovers and while street food stalls were once on the decline, the concept is officially making a comeback.

Delicious, inexpensive and fast are the three main qualities of Japanese street food and Dorinku has brought those qualities to their two hot-spot locations in Edmonton. Dorinku Osaka can be found in the heart of downtown on Jasper Avenue and Dorinku Tokyo in Old Strathcona on Whyte Avenue. Both locations share similar, yet different menus featuring sushi, sashimi, noodle dishes, street-food inspired appies and more.
