Dr. Clark is a cozy and intimate restaurant with dark mood lighting and a nice full bar. Cocktails and Japanese Whisky offered here as well as light spirits. The menu is a mix of sashimi, variety of noodles, and light bites, while featuring lamb as a popular main. Two versions: cooked at your table with a portable grill or order chops by the piece, where it's cooked in the kitchen. The favorite was the stir fry udon noodles and the chan chan (baked salmon) for my group. Sashimi was really good, recommend the scallops, yellowtail and salmon.

We went here for our weekly date night. I had been before but my boyfriend was enjoying for the first time.We ordered the pre fix menu and it was okay. A few of the dishes fell a little short for us but others were very delicious. But it was nice to get a bit of everything for my boyfriend.The staff was very kind and helpful throughout the entire experience.A note to anyone hoping for a late reservation…karaoke started around 10:30pm and caught the tail end of our meal. If you’re in the vibe for that it’s great. If you’re trying to have a more secluded meal it can be distracting.Overall, we really enjoyed the evening.

Came here on a Saturday night at 8:30pm with a reservation and the restaurant was at capacity. I wouldn’t recommend trying to walk in. We got the tasting menu and it was good! There was a lot of food though, overall the portions were big for the amount of dishes served. The atmosphere was also very pleasant.

Loved our server. The uni fries were the best. I also loved the salmon chin chin. I loved the veg with anchovy dipping sauce. We were there super early on a Tues. it was pretty hot & humid which took away from the atmosphere and tasty food.

Japanese food, thier house special is cooked at your table by a knowledgeable member of staff who will tell you about Dr. Clark. Gentle, candle-lit atmosphere, a walk in was possible on a Monday evening in February
