A little change to our schedule!

We’ll be closed for regular service Friday, October 16th, and Saturday, October 17th, but we’ll be hosting sushi classes instead!

For $70 per person, enjoy a hands on sushi experience including two rolls, two pieces of nigiri, your choice of soup or salad, and two glasses of w**e.
Doors open at 6 PM on both dates.

To reserve your spot, email us at [email protected] or stop in and sign up in person.

We hope to see you there!

IMMEDIATE HELP WANTED!

The last few days have been a little crazy (in the best possible way). We’re feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who has come through the doors since our move to the Franklin House.

But… we’ve quickly realized that we are going to need more hands to help! 😅

We’re looking to add a few good people to our little team:

- Sushi Rollers
- Front of House
- Kitchen Porter / Dishwasher

If you’re hardworking and want to be part of something small but special, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email us at [email protected] if this is something you might be interested in!

We are sad to announce that on Saturday, June 13th, we will be closing our doors.

We can’t even begin to explain how grateful we are for the last three and a half years. Who could have known that a small classroom in an old elementary school could be transformed into a place where we made countless memories and built so many connections that we will carry with us forever. We are so thankful for each and every guest. Whether you stopped in once or were one of our beloved regulars, THANK YOU! You mean the world to us, and we are so happy we were able to serve you and our community.

While we must say goodbye for now, we are thrilled to announce our next chapter with our friends at **ery

The Dojo will be relocating to 115 Franklin Street in Downtown Traverse City.

We will keep you posted on our reopening date, and we cannot wait to see you there!
