Food: Blatant flavorless bites

Domo sushi failed to live up to its promise of a delightful Japanese dining experience. This supposed sushi sanctuary left their patrons with a bitter taste in their mouths, as most of the dishes were bland and uninteresting. Disappointment is an understatement when talking about the restaurant's chaotic and confusing menu, a far departure from their marketing of a creative assortment of sushi. The only saving grace was the sufficient portions and above-average seafood freshness which did little to appease the unsatisfied clientele.

  • Great Quality

    Seafood always peaks in freshness, flavor, expertly sourced and prepared.

  • Okay Value

    Food enjoyed despite some items being on the pricier side.

  • Bad Taste

Vibe: Dated decors push patrons away

If the food disappointment hasn’t been enough, getting a glimpse of the restaurant's outdated ambiance could easily transport one to an unwanted past. It is not conducive for a romantic date night considering the lack of privacy due to the chaotic crowd and excessive noise just to add into the miserable experience.

  • Okay Drinks

    Hot Sake mentioned as quality drink, no further details given.

  • Bad For Dates

    Excessively loud, crowded, and with too many kids for a quiet date.

Perks: Friendly service but isn't family-friendly

Despite the appalling ambiance and disappointing sushi, there seems to be a ray of sunlight with their service. Staff were generally hailed for their friendliness and efficiency. However, the restaurant falls short again in terms of being family- and group-friendly. It quickly becomes crowded due to its small size, and kids felt unwelcome.

  • Great Service

    Staff consistently friendly, attentive, remembered names, provided great service.

  • Bad For Kids

    Unwelcoming to kids, making families feel uncomfortable during their visit.
