The Open Guide to Cambridge - Differences between Version 9 and Version 8 of Dojo Noodle Bar

Version 9 Version 8
== Line 0 == == Line 0 ==
[[Wagamama]]-style noodle bar near the river. Cheap prices, large portions. The restaurant is quite tiny, but also has some heated space outdoors in Millers Yard.
Dojo serves the most popular noodles found on the street vendors in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and China.
== Line 2 == == Line 2 ==
Like [[Wagamama]], your food won't arrive in any particular order; because of this, they don't have a starters section on the menu, though the "side dishes" section contains many things that you might normally have as starters. As of November 2007, side dishes cost between £3.10 (edamame) and £4.25 (tempura prawns). Grilled things on skewers are between £1.45 (chicken) and £1.60 (king prawns) per skewer. Noodle soup is between £6.40 (tofu and vegetable ramen) and £7 (e.g. beef pho, teriyaki salmon ramen). Other main courses are between £5.70 (e.g. vegetable yaki-soba) and £7 (fragrant red curry duck).
Opened in 1998 as the first noodle bar in Cambridge, Dojo remains as a thriving independent restaurant and has a strong reputation for serving quality noodles.
== Line 4 == == Line 4 ==
The main difference I find from [[Wagamama]] is that the food comes from a slightly wider range of East Asian cuisines than I remember seeing there: I particularly like the Vietnamese spring rolls. The menu is full of very bad puns.
Their promise to customers is, "To serve great tasting street noodles, in generous portions, using high quality ingredients and outstandingly fresh produce, giving our customers exceptional value for money, each and every time."
== Line 6 == == Line 6 ==
They have a policy of not using MSG, and they have gluten-free Kikkoman soy sauce for those on gluten-free diets. They also have a "vegan wok" used for the cooking of vegan dishes only.
Dojo sources the freshest meat & vegetables on a daily basis and prepares their stocks, soups and sauces fresh every day. Furthermore, Dojo adopts a MSF-free cooking policy ensuring healthy cooking for their customers.
== Line 8 == == Line 8 ==
Takeaway is available at a 10% discount from the restaurant prices.
For vegans, Dojo goes the extra mile, by using an exclusive "vegan wok" used for the cooking of vegan dishes only. For gluten-free diets, Dojo uses gluten-free premium Kikkoman soya sauce as a substitute.
== Line 10 ==
For desserts, Dojo offers critically acclaimed ice creams from Alder Tree, a premium handmade ice cream boutique based in East Anglia.

Dojo's interior, whilst compact, is elegantly contemporary with hints of Chinoiserie design and rococo elements. The main feature of the restaurant is the stunning hand painted wallpaper by local artist Debbie Plaskett illustrating vistas of songbirds and fauna in an Oriental garden. Dojo's design is a bold and radical departure from the copycat generic noodle bar look found elsewhere of white minimalism with hints of artificial beechwood.

From spring onwards, Dojo offers al fresco dining, perfect for a hot summer's evening.

For take outs, Dojo offers a 10% off eat-in prices.

Overall, Dojo difference lies in its
- generous portions of noodles and cuttings of meat/seafood
- uncompromising passion for quality,
- exceptional value for money
