Bar Dojo 8404 Bowdoin Way Edmonds Washington USA www.bardojo.com. Located in a small nondescript building part of a small strip mall. Don't let the bland exterior deter you, it is much nicer and upscale in side. It is mostly a restaurant but in the back is the 11 person sit-up bar and must be 21 years or older in this area. Very popular at Happy Hour which runs 4pm to 6pm and 9pm to close. Monday it is all night and Tuesday is 1/2 price wine. Happy Hour is $6 wine and $1 off draft beer and well drinks. 4 different beer on tap. Some higher end spirits as well. The bar area has a pony wall that separates it from the restaurant area. The bartender was Kelsyn who was very good, friendly and well organized! He also made great food and drink suggestions. To describe their food I will use the description from their website. Modern Asian with local ingredients, a melting pot and focusing on Chino Latino.
We did appys and this is what we had. Beef Satay Skewers, grilled marinated flat iron steak, peanut sauce and jicama slaw. It was very good and very tender. Pork Dumplings, Kurobuta pork, house chili oil, scallions and garlic They were steamed and amazing, probably my favorite! Coconut prawns, shaved coconut, mustard seed, orange chili sauce. These too were good. And lastly we had the Prawn and vegetable tempura. It was fresh and tasty. Every thursday at 7 pm they have a guitarist who plays back ground music. The prices are slightly on the higher side but well worth it as everything is fresh, local and made in house. If you want the bar area get here early. People are friendly too! We really enjoyed it here and can't wait to come back!!
