DOPA by Devon, the fast-casual Japanese eatery known for its vibrant flavours, officially opened its ninth location in Chatswood Chase, welcoming the community to experience its unique culinary offerings.
The new Chatswood store continues DOPA’s tradition of blending traditional Japanese culinary practices with modern design elements.
“Opening in Chatswood allows us to bring our unique blend of flavours and community-focused dining experience to more Sydneysiders,” said Zachary Tan, Executive Chef at DOPA.
The venue, designed by award-winning studio Tom Mark Henry, features a 40-seat space adorned with Japanese cultural graphics and modern urban design, creating an inviting atmosphere for diners.

The restaurant also introduces the ‘DOPA Boy’ in its decor, a character who gains superpowers after eating at DOPA, symbolising the empowering experience of their food.
DOPA’s menu at Chatswood offers a variety of over twenty donburi options, including favourites like teriyaki chicken, karaage, and more exotic choices such as wagyu beef tongue and unagi.

Starting 14 October, a special yellow fin tuna donburi will be available, featuring a mix of premium ingredients like diced tuna sashimi, ponzu, egg crepe, and salmon caviar.
The dessert menu doesn’t fall short, featuring the popular DOPA Shibuya toast in flavours such as matcha and lotus Biscoff, and traditional kakigōri, a Japanese shaved ice dessert, available in matcha, strawberry, or mango.
“Our menu is designed to cater to a range of tastes, offering both sweet and savoury dishes that blend traditional Japanese ingredients with a modern twist,” explained Markus Andrew, Executive Pastry Chef.
DOPA Chatswood is now open and operates Monday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Shop B-033, Chatswood Chase, 345 Victoria Avenue.
