"This is my second attempt of leaving a review for Dotori in Finsbury Park my first review was deleted by the restaurant I am guessing?...surprise surprise! I was at Dotori in Finsbury Park on the 22nd of March 2022 for my friend 's birthday dinner. I will begin by stating; this was by far the worst customer service and dining experience I ever experienced in and out of London in my life, which is why I am making, again, an attempt at leaving a review as I do not think it is good enough to steal £150 from customers and then expect them not to respond. I will first and foremost state: only visit this place if you are into incredibly rude, mannerless staff, who will do their utmost to treat you horrendously and make you feel used. I am never going back to this place. I will be honest, the food was good; not Marco Pierre White or Nuno Mendes good, but 'sweet, sufficient for a friendly, simple evening '. Considering what 's on offer; the food is way too expensive, which again, is alright, IF the service had been up to some standards, not a standard, any standard at this point. We got to Dotori and were directed to a table downstairs. As soon as we were given menus, we were asked every other minute if we were ready to order mind you; with a member of staff looking over my shoulder to my left, throughout the evening. Once we ordered, we again got asked every other minute ! if we were done, in the middle of a conversation, 'are you done yet? '. At some point another staff member who had been getting ready to leave, put his coat on and said 'did you want your bill? here is your bill '. We went 'but you are still open no ? and we are still drinking '. He then went 'we need to clean downstairs, you need to go upstairs '. We went upstairs, were told they were still open for another half an hour and ordered another beer. About ten minutes later, another staff member told us we had to leave and got rid of our nearly full drinks and directed us to the door. Where to begin. I can 't even express the whole scenario the way I had the first time around. My whole point being; I get you are tired, i get you had a long day and want to leave but there are ways of treating customers, just people in general with a little more respect, decency and tact. I was honestly so shocked about how pushy, aggressive and short they were that neither I nor my friends knew what to say. Also bear in mind; we weren 't there for a £10 meal, milking it and just keeping the place open. Just some food for thought: why did you move us downstairs in the first place if you knew you were going to be overwhelmed or needed or wanted to even shut the restaurant before the stated hour? You could have just let use queue upstairs and then told us 'tonight we 'd like to close in the next hour, take a seat and make your order only stay if this is okay with you '. Instead you took us downstairs, rushed us through our order, our meal, stood by our side whilst we were eating, pushed us around, took our money, didn 't even let us finish or take our drinks and basically told us to get out. People; I never write reviews. Even if I am pissed off, I just let it go. But these guys, really took the mickey on a whole other level and the aggressive atmosphere was just one of a kind. The staff is obviously underpaid or untrained; there is no other reason why they would be this visibly angry, frustrated and really uncaring. Do yourselves and this place a favour by avoiding it. I am surprised a restaurant like this is still in service and about all the 'positive ' reviews. I am guessing the restaurant reports or takes down negative ones as they go. Don 't go, unless you want to have your most horrendous dining experience with a hefty bill at the end."

We travelled almost 2hrs for the journey and was completely worth it. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing. A great experience and we plan to go again.

One of my favourite places for sushi and Japanese. North London Finsbury Park. Place is small and not fancy but definitely worth it to eat high quality Sushi, noodles or soups.

A small Japanese/ Korean restaurant a few minutes walk from Finsbury Park station. The food is fresh, great flavours and authentic. Service is quick and the restaurant is keen to have a quick turn around.

This place is easily missed as it is a tiny cafe right next to Finsbury Park station. Try to find it though… the food is amazing. I highly recommend the Japanese fried chicken, the miso aubergine the hotpots. It is cash only you may need to queue but it is worth it! View menu

We have been to this restaurant many times and we have always been happy in the past but unfortunately they are now over pricing since Covid. My husband paid £38 on their recommendation. See photo attached. This consisted of rice, pancakes, lettuce and beef. Cheap ingredients that are being sold for a rip off price. We will not return! Dotori is not what it was...shame on you!

My and my partner try out different spots all the time and just want fresh food which is mildly authentic. I have tried a few korean spots and to be honest none have been as good as those in Chinatown or Kimchee in kings cross. Dotori is so close to home and we wanted to give it a go. The food came quickly but was super super disappointing. We ordered, ttepoki, prawn tempura, seafood pancakes, noodle dish and a soup based dish. The soup was so so oily they could see me using tissue to filter it. The pancakes were raw doughy texture and I just picked out the seafood. The tempura was good and the ttepoki was nice too. The rest was well below average. I explained that I did not enjoy the noodle...
