The sushi and hand rolls have always been excellent, and the sea bass was incredibly delicious. Everything was so good that I was too busy enjoying the food to take photos!
We also tried the uni pasta, Korean chicken, and cucumber salad — all were amazing and highly recommended.
The staff were very friendly and explained each dish, which made the experience even better. Great food and service
The waitress gave us our water 10m after being seated then didn’t take our order for another 15m. The couple next to us came after us and was out before us. She was very attentive and talkative with the other patrons, but aside from asking us how everything was, she didn’t give us the same energy. She placed the platter of sushi on top of our soy sauce saucer and didn’t acknowledge it. As we tried to clean it up as it got all over our seats, she passed by and gave us an extra napkin (singular) and took away one of the dirty ones. She made no attempt to clean up the mess she made or offer us a new chair that wasn’t dripping in soy sauce. Every piece of salmon was extremely fishy. The rest of the sushi was truly so lackluster and clearly not worth the price. The pieces were smaller than the rice and for the price, I expected a much larger amount piece for each. Aside from the appetizers and udon, nothing lived up to the hype. Expensive prices for such small portions and bad quality fish. Not surprised they didn’t win the bib again. She also offered every other table dessert, but just gave us our check and walked away without saying a word. Will not return.
Definitely a spot I’ll come back to!
salt sushi, 1 unagi foie gras hand roll, 1 order of the salmon tuna crostini., and 2 regular hand rolls for my kids. The salmon truffle sushi was such a disappointment, it tasted more like smoked salmon that you put on your bagel. The unagi foie gras was a complete joke, not how they used to make it. The salmon tuna crostini had zero flavor. It’s like they cut the raw fish and served it to you as is. Last but not least, what a huge disappointment was the uni pasta dish. It wasn’t creamy at all, and the uni was overly tourched. And they didn’t offer to take anything from
the bill. They did offer us dessert, and I chose three, but then they came back and said they can only do two desserts not three when we had 5 people with us and they didn’t clarify that when asking us in the beginning. So I said no thank you, and that was that. Never coming back here again. It’s not what it used to be. And they don’t care.
I ordered several hand rolls, including Spicy Salmon with ichimi and fried potato chips, Salmon with sesame seed, Spicy Yellowtail with furikake and lime pepper, Negi Toro with scallion, Oyster Mushroom with seaweed crunch, Miso Black Cod with kabocha purée and pickled mustard seed, Blue Crab with garlic butter and mayo, and the Lobster roll. On paper, the combinations sounded creative and exciting, but the execution was a letdown. Every hand roll I received came wrapped in seaweed that was soft and soggy rather than crisp. Because the seaweed had been exposed to air for too long, the texture and freshness were completely gone. A proper hand roll should have warm rice, fresh filling, and crispy seaweed that cracks when you bite into it — here, none of that was present, and the flavors completely fell flat.
I also tried the Eggplant Katsu, which was very heavy and oily. The breading absorbed too much oil, and without dipping it into the sauce provided, it was nearly inedible. It lacked the delicate balance that this dish should have. As for sushi, I sampled one piece, and the vinegar flavor in the rice was overwhelmingly strong. The balance between rice and fish was missing, and the fish itself didn’t shine at all. For a restaurant that has held Michelin recognition, I was genuinely surprised by how weak the flavors were.
The only positives were the good service and pleasant atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the space itself has a nice modern vibe. However, when the food doesn’t deliver, it’s hard to overlook everything else. I honestly don’t understand how this restaurant continues to receive Michelin accolades year after year.
Overall, I left feeling disappointed and would not return. I was expecting a standout hand roll experience, but instead, I found myself questioning the reputation of the restaurant. If anyone is a fan of DOMODOMO, I would truly appreciate recommendations on what to order, because based on my experience, none of the dishes lived up to the hype.
Service was polished, attentive, and friendly—great pacing. Atmosphere is modern and chic—dim lighting, elegant wood accents, cozy yet upscale energy—perfect for a special lunch or date.
