Doki Doki — Restaurant in Lausanne

Not sure if it is a Doki problem or a swiss one. What is weird is that Switzerland is the reference in hospitality education, yet lack the practice in their industry. We waited for 10 min standing on the door then to be asked to wait for another 20 min on their sofa’s that were nice. We asked if we can order since we are waiting for the food to be ready when we are seated. They said no and we ended up waiting another 20 min since we got seated to get the food. The food was ok, knowing that we got used to lowering our standards. Nevertheless, paying that price of a ramen, you would expect excellent ingredients, authentic and tasteful dishes. That was totally missing as the food was a bit plain in taste, with slight difference btw the three ramens we ordered. The drinks were totally watered down with a hefty price tag. In general, we wanted to try it after hearing a lot of buzzzz about it, it was clear that it is gas lighting. Won’t recommend it nor would I come back to it. Hope they evolve as we all would love to enjoy a nice meal and see local...

We were 5 people. We ordered 5 dishes all seemed good in appearance but were the worst disappointment; absolutely unharmonious in flavour, overcooked noodles, terrible texture on meat dishes, over salted broth, with additional seasonings that masked all the ingredients in a dense messy mess.

Anyone who has ever had fine Asian food would have difficulty finishing their plate. Anyone who has travelled to Asia and knows how fine a soup can be will most probably run away after the first bite.

Ambiance was equally horrible they had blaring music it was necessary to shout to be able to conversaste over the music. It was similar to eating in an ill reputed cafeteria.

The crowd was mostly young and there was not one Asian looking guest, which comes as no surprise.

The service is also just 'slap it on the table' mode.

The prices are outrageous considering the general lack of quality.

Tried the Vegé-men ramen at Doki Doki such a rich, umami-packed bowl! The kombu-shiitake-tomato broth with miso tare, atsusage tofu, pak choi, daikon, fried shallots and onions made it hearty and full of flavor. Many were enjoying the chicken karaage (looked super crispy and tempting). Sadly, there isn’t a vegetarian version of it but I’d definitely recommend the place to introduce one, it would be amazing alongside the ramen! Servicewise, I had to ask if I could place my order before the waiter came over. But once they did, they were polite and calm, which I really appreciated. Ended the meal with their lemon cake which was ultimate perfection, light yet indulgent. Overall, a perfect combination of ramen, dessert, and a pleasant...
