This is my new local sushi spot! I've been here twice now, and have gotten the same thing both times as an entrée because it's just so good! I am a big fan of sashimi so I got their sashimi lover entrée which is enough food to get me full and then of course I have to add the 1/2 portion of udon which I could swim in the broth it's so delicious and comforting. The first time I was there I also ordered the tempura ice cream, was I already full to begin with of course, but was it worth every bite, of course! My husband has gotten their popcorn chicken appetizer, dumplings, and some of their rolls which he all loved too. Oh did I mention that it's BYOB? Perfect for a low-key Friday date night.  I'm definitely a new regular here! More...

we've been going there as our "go to" sushi bar for a few months. it's very small so make a reservation and don't think this a full blown restaurant, it's not. if you know sushi then you will be highly impressed, the owners work there and will come out and chat if it's not too busy. the chef was trained in Japan and it shows. everything is ultra fresh and made to order. between the high quality of food and the friendly owners Dozo is a hit with us.

I think I found my sushi place for now on. I drove by this place and googled it and saw it had good reviews, so I gave it a try. It's a very small restaurant so I wouldn't recommend going on a weekend without a reservation. They have fried chicken, sushi, actual entrees and even soup. Their menu is extensive, which is great. I tried the fried chicken and it was like a tempura chicken, but it was phenomenal. Highly recommended. My fiancée had the soup and she loved it. We even joked that when she's sick I'll have to go there and get it for her. The sushi is high quality and super fresh. We then split fried ice cream. It was basically tempura ice cream. It was exceptional. Highly recommend getting it. Good service, friendly people. Give it a try. More...

This place was really nice, they had a good selection of veggie sushi. The edamame was really well cooked and topped with sea salt. They also have bubble tea, with option for jelly instead of tapioca bubbles. Additionally you or anyone in your group doesn't like sushi, they have a good selection of rice and noodle dishes.The place is pretty small, easy to miss, definitely worth stopping by if you're craving some sushi.

The food was excellent! I ordered a sushi platter and their spicy ramen bowl. The 4/5 heat on the ramen bowl was spicy enough to get me sweating a little, and did not drown out the rest of the flavors. I am from out of town, and will definitely be stopping here again on my next roll through. More...

We love love love this spot. It's small but the food is delicious and the service is always wonderful. We eat here at least twice a month. Their raw fish is ALWAYS fresh and sizable! After we discovered this spot, we only eat sushi and sashimi from here. Recently we ordered pickup and was accidentally over charged. The person rang up the wrong slip. My bf picked it up and he wasn't even aware. I received a call from the owner? and he apologized and refunded the amount and charged us properly. If they didn't call, we would've never known! I say all that to say this is an honest business and this alone speaks volumes on the kind of people running this place. I have never had a subpar experience here. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! Support local business! More...

So my son likes a shrimp tempura roll made at a place near us so much that  he keeps the menu description so he can give it to any sushi chef to replicate.  So the owner/sushi chef looks at the description and says he can make anything but says the role description contradicts flavors.  He explained why and it floored me that he understood his craft so well.  He then made his version of the roll which was awesome. Love the fact he spoke with us at length.  Sometimes you walk into a sushi place and you feel no connection, this place understands their customer base.  My son said it was the best roll he ever had.  Fresh and tasty.  My only complaint is that it's far from where I live.

I almost cried tears of joy in this restaurant. I've lived in New Jersey for 3 years and the thing I missed the most was my favorite sushi spot in South Florida. I've tried ALL of the places in SJ and Philly (the ones with awards and write-ups in the papers) and had come to the conclusion that the standards for freshness and actually good sushi in this area are ... low. Not at Zushi Dozo. The fish was SO fresh and the rolls were delicious and creative. I can't wait to come back here and now South Jersey feels even more like home! This place should win all of the awards. If you like fresh fish, this is your spot. Take my word for it. I'm extremely picky. More...

Met my niece, her husband and their daughter for dinner. My husband and I love sushi but we had never eaten at this restaurant. What a wonderful find!! The food we all ordered was delicious! My niece and her family only eat sushi at this restaurant and we definitely will be coming back. A very unique menu with items that you're use to seeing and a lot that are created by the chef. You will not be disappointed. Plus the chef, his wife and children (this was a Sunday) were so pleasant and accommodating to all allergies or any requests we had asked to be made on things we ordered. It is a beautiful, very clean but small restaurant. Make reservations, especially on the weekends. They have lunch specials from 12-3, which we also plan to try out. Your taste buds and sushi cravings will definitely be satisfied after one visit., More...

It was my time there, the place is small, cozy & clean. The service was fast & friendly. I ordered the philly roll but they put cucumbers instead of avocado so they changed it for me & I had 2 orders. My friend enjoyed the dragon roll & fried chicken. He said it was great. The price is affordable. My friend & I talked for a while after eating & we were not rushed out. I would recommend zushi dozo to my family & friends. More...

Great little sushi spot! We really enjoyed our dinner and will be heading back soon. My hubby really liked his salmon teriyaki as it was not salty and cooked nicely. I had the spicy ramen with grilled shrimp and I liked the natural flavored broth. I also had the stuffed bamboo roll which was awesome! One of the best sushi I've had and I've had my share of sushi. We also shared the butterfly shrimp which was pretty good. Their veggie gyoza was ok. More...

Couldn't decide where to go after my doctors visit.  I've wanted to get Korean but came here instead.  The server didn't seem all too excited but then it was empty at 4:30 3/20/19 and not forthcoming when I asked what'd she'd recommend but she did say the ramen was good lol.  I missed the lunch special by 90 and I think maybe the girls shift was over since I saw her when she dropped off the menu, took the order dropped off food and then never saw her again to even check up on me lol. After I was basically done the chef came over to fill my water and give me the check.I started with the shrimp shumai dumplings which I for some reason thought would be fried but it wasn't. Small bites. The miso soup was good but it's been awhile.  I went with the Shrimp tempura roll, the crunchy tuna sandwich and the lobster roll  all of which came to around $43.72.  The tuna sandwich roll was the least fave of the 3 but I did like the lobster roll or maybe it was the shrimp tempura.  Since I'm not out this way often I don't know when I'll be back but would maybe come to try the ramen and some of the other sushi rolls More...

My husband and I came for dinner on a Sunday night, at about 6pm. It's clearly a family operated restaurant, everyone was involved with great results, the service was on point. We ordered Shrimp Shumai, wings and the Ocean Breeze Salad. Everything was delish!!!! I didn't quite know what to expect from the salad but all the flavors worked PERFECTLY! For our entrees, my husband ordered Pork Katsu (not my thing by any means and I liked it so much I would have ordered it next time) and I got FutoMaki or the "Fat" roll and a Lava roll. Both were DIVINE! I was full about halfway through and couldn't stop eating. We both left very, very full.

Where do I begin..... The staff is amazing for such an unassuming place I'm sure many people have drove by plenty of times, but that is a crime. Please stop and treat yourself. We came early on a Saturday and had the place (kinda) to ourselves.  The owner of head chef came out and gave us honest choices and amazing service. We went all out and ordered alot. It's all worth the price and ambiance.  The food and flavors! Wow! The spice, 0-5 (I had 5 on the side) it was so good I sipped the broth when I was done. The food is so fresh it melts in your mouth. We will be back with friends! Def worth the toll and trip across the bridge. More...

Food was excellent. Staff was friendly. Mainly writing this review to respond to another reviewer Emily O. who decided to leave a bad review due to the fact she walked in with a table with no reservation on a Saturday during busy dinner hours. All the tables that were empty were reserved and even though they were they still gave you the option to eat there but under a time restriction... you declined and walked out and decided to leave them a bad review. Grow up princess the world doesn't revolve around you. You want a table? Call ahead and make a reservation next time. More...

Road trips up and down 95 are awful because there's hardly anywhere interesting to eat. I've made it my mission to use yelp to go a little off the beaten path for somewhere other than a chain, and this sushi place hit the spot. Super fresh and delish, straightforward service, and good pop music playing to boot! I have a feeling this is Cherry Hill's treasured sushi restaurant; nearly all the tables were reserved for the Friday night 7pm dinner crowd. We just happened to pop in very early evening.Try the Nigiri platter for a good variety of rolls and sashimi. On the hot side, the steamed gyoza were piping hot and delicate, and the poke appetizer had a nice kick. More...

I live across the river just outside Philly, but I tried Zushi Dozo after hearing about it from a golfing buddy. It's outstanding. I had the Dragon roll and the green tea ice cream. I would have had more if I hadn't already eaten at the mall a couple hours earlier. My server was also one of the chefs. Which leads me to address a complaint made my one of the recent reviewers, "Youngju K."YOUNGJU,Perhaps the reason your server wasn't overly smiley is because it's been excruciatingly hot lately. When you work in a kitchen, as I have, the problem is multiplied. Your server was likely also working in that kitchen. When it's over 90 degrees outside, it feels like it's likely over 100 when you're slaving over a grill, stove, or oven prepping various items that wind up on your plate (yes, even in a sushi joint). I'm sure he meant no offense. Cut that server some slack.Yours,Mitch Cumstein More...

This place is great! Excellent service and great food. First the steam dumpling; they were one of the best steam dumpling that I had. They were soft in texture and juicy and full of flavor. Second the shrimp tempura sushi was crispy and chewy, well season. Third the Salmon Teriyaki; great amount of serving, the Salmon was perfectly cooked and the enough of teriyaki sauce! The rice and miso soup were good too, could have added some more bits of tofu to the miso soup but still good. First time trying Katsudon and it was great! Definitely would recommend this dish to anyone that wants to try a new dish. It's a bowl of rice covered with eggs simmered in soy/dashi broth and on top pork cutlet. For dessert we tried both the Mochi Ice cream and the tempura ice cream. Recommend the Mochi Ice cream if you are too full and don't want something as sweat. It is sweat and refreshing. The ice cream tempura is delicious and it's a big portion! It's vanilla ice cream wrapped in pound cake and drizzled with chocolate syrup and definitely delicious! More...

The sushi is very good esp for the price! The sashimi was fresh and not like the cheaper-tasting all you can eat sushi buffets. The only reason I gave the 4 star is because the server was very unfriendly. The server did not even smile at us once and almost appeared angry. We went at 5pm and we were the only table there so I'm not sure why :( More...

Located in a strip mall right next to a gas station on a busy part of route 70. Why come here? You'll absolutely forget where you are from the atmosphere and most importantly, the food. The sushi was very fresh, my boyfriend had the ramen which was also very good. His had some sort of a peppery taste to it which we loved. The service was fast and informative in answering some questions we had on the variations of spice level that they have for the ramen. The ramen was actually spicier than we thought it would be at first but the waitress provided more broth to even out the spice a little more which was really awesome! They were attentive in our satisfaction with the food but they weren't overbearing. Will definitely be back. P.S. make a reservation. It's small with limited tables and may fill up quickly depending on the day you go. More...

If I reviewed the ramen broth alone - it's easily 5 stars. Seriously some of the best noodles and broth I've ever had. I'm extremely picky with how I like the actual noodle consistency/firmness in ramen, and they nailed it 100%. My girlfriend and I had the spicy chicken ramen, and the spicy pork ramen with miso. Meat wise I'd say definitely go with pork as it complements the ramen more. The chicken was kind of like pieces of grilled chicken, which although tasty, I felt like didn't work with the ramen as much. I was hoping it would be more of a thinly sliced and roasted chicken. Honestly though, I'd be more than okay eating the spicy ramen without any meat at all based on how much I liked the flavors. Also it should be noted that the spicy ramen comes in different heat levels based on preference (i.e. 1-5). We tried the 1 and the 3 - both of which weren't too spicy. If you like a bit of an actual kick I'd say go with a 3. The spice does just enough where it doesn't take away from the flavors or make you sweat profusely..In regard to the actual restaurant itself, it's a very quaint space but I didn't mind it at all. The service was really good as well, as our sever (possibly owner?) seemed very personable to all of the diners. More...
