I called ahead to place my order and the service over the phone was super friendly. I arrived to pick up and immediately fell in love with the space. The one thing I've learned about sushi restaurants is that when there is too much focus on the decor and "branding", the food often becomes an afterthought. Doraku doesn't try too hard and that's a great thing. The interior is quaint and cozy with a beautiful little bar toward the back. It's very much reminiscent of the long standing hole-in-the-wall spots of larger cities. The feeling is warm, inviting and definitely a good place for a date.
I ordered the Sunset roll which has fresh lemon on top. Doraku removes the rind from the lemon (unlike other places) and I feel it removes all the bitterness. The avocado salad is straight forward and just delicious.
The only complaint I have is that I live almost an hour away.
