What people say, in short
Sushi Dokku is recommended for nigiri and for sushi with drinks at the downstairs Booze Box. One diner specifically favors that bar setting, while others recommend the restaurant more generally. Criticism concerns both food and delivery: one diner avoids its sushi after preferring other restaurants, and another reports rolls arriving broken apart. Some still find it good value.
