Long weekend ahead.

We’re open for dinner Friday and Saturday, then taking a short pause over Easter Sunday and Monday.

Back again Tuesday. We look forward to welcoming you.

It’s in the details.

The weight of the cutlery, the feel in your hand, the small things you don’t always notice but always experience. Each part considered, so everything around the table feels right.

Because it’s never just one element — it’s how it all comes together.

A partnership that keeps everything grounded, and everything moving forward. Mika, our Executive Chef, and Dean, our Sous Chef — two different rhythms, one kitchen.

Mika leads with instinct. Dean brings structure and consistency throughout service. Between them, it’s a constant exchange… Ideas, adjustments, and a quiet understanding built over time.

Watch the kitchen as you dine. You’ll see this in the way it moves — in the pace, and in every plate that leaves the pass.

In Korean cooking, fire has always played its part. From charcoal grills at the table to open flames in the kitchen, it’s about drawing out depth, adding smoke, and letting the ingredient take on something more.

We use the fire to bring out what’s already there. The sweetness in vegetables, the richness in meat, the edges that give each bite its character.

It brings a different kind of flavour — a quiet smokiness, a gentle char, a depth you can’t get any other way.

Our favourites. For a reason.

Return to them — or find your own.

Doju, this weekend. 🖤

New this week — our take on corn cheese.

In Korea, corn cheese 콘치즈 is simple comfort food: sweet corn, melted cheese, something rich straight from the pan. With corn season just starting here, we wanted to give it a Doju twist.

Baby corn from Elphin Grove Farm in Tasmania sits at the centre, finished with brisket spice butter and Bruny Island C2 cheddar — a special raw milk cheese made in very small batches. Mika first met Matt, the farmer behind Elphin Grove, while living and working in Tassie, and we’ve stayed close ever since.

Good produce, good people behind it — that’s really what this dish is about.

Soft, chewy rice cakes simmered in a spicy-sweet gochujang sauce.

One of Korea’s most loved street foods — often bubbling away at market stalls, eaten hot, quick, and a little messy with friends. Comforting, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying.

At Doju, you’ll often find our take on tteokbokki appearing seasonally on the menu, a small nod to the classic, of course, with a Doju twist.

Streaky Bay oysters. Bright, salty, straight from the cold waters of South Australia.

We serve them with pepperberry dongchimi granita, inspired by a small winter ritual in Korea. Dongchimi is a radish kimchi known for its clear, refreshing broth.

In the colder months, families would leave the Onggi (옹기) outside to ferment in the winter air. As the temperature dropped, the liquid would begin to freeze slightly, turning into a delicate, icy broth that was ladled out with the radish.

It was simple, seasonal, and quietly refreshing in the middle of winter.
Our granita is a small nod to that moment - the cold brightness of dongchimi, lifted with Tasmanian pepperberry.

A quiet corner, low light, and a single bite lifted with chopsticks. Sometimes the best moments at the table are the simplest ones.

Snacks for two, a glass of wine, and a moment to slow down together.

Perfect for sharing, laughing, and letting the evening stretch out — the kind of start every date night deserves.

There’s a rhythm to the bar — quiet, focused, alive with the night unfolding around it.

Every move matters, every moment noticed, so when a drink arrives, it feels effortless. It’s the care and attention you don’t always see, but always taste.
