Date-Night Restaurant Pick--Bar Dojo

Bar Dojo:

Going on a date with the hubby and want to stay local just in case you get the dreaded, “Hi____, I am really sorry but____ just threw up all over that afghan in your room (the one your grandmother so lovingly made for you)”… ok I digress. Point is, go to Bar Dojo, it’s in Edmonds located at Five Corners, and has delectable fare! This restaurant is fabulous, and while they do have a kids menu, it is not a spot that I would necessarily recommend taking children to- though your child may have a more sophisticated palate than mine! 

The only drawback to this establishment is the location. It’s in a weird spot. However, the food is divine. Think creative Asian fusion cuisine; favorites of mine are the Hurricane Popcorn (only $3 on happy hour!), Avocado Tempura, and the Crispy Shallot Beef Sliders.

 I am a self-proclaimed happy hour connoisseur, and Bar Dojo does not disappoint in this department. Discounted food and drinks are available on their happy hour menu Tues-Sun 4-6pm, and as a mom used to serving up dinner at 5:30pm, this time hits my hunger sweet spot and who doesn’t love a bargain, especially when you don’t have to do the dishes?! 

Check out this local gem for your next date night, or meet up with a girlfriend.

4.5/5 stars.

*Bar Dojo is participating in Seattle Restaurant Week, which is a really fun way to try new restaurants; they provide options from a fixed 3 course menu for $28/person.  This runs Oct 13^th-17^th & Oct 20^th-24^th.
