Doumo Japanese Restaurant

During our recent visit to Doumo Japanese Restaurant, our experience was a mixture of hits and misses, leaving us with ambivalent sentiments. Starting with the cornerstone of any reputable Japanese establishment: the sushi. Unfortunately, Doumo's offerings were somewhat lackluster in freshness. When sushi fails to convey that just-caught essence, it's inevitably a disappointment. On a brighter note, the other dishes we sampled had their merits. The Yaki Soba with chicken, while not groundbreaking, was reliably satisfying. The Salmon Teriyaki, too, managed to hold its own - offering a decent taste, if not memorable. Navigating a menu can be challenging without informed recommendations, and this is where we found another hiccup. When soliciting advice from our waitress about choosing between ramen and yaki soba, her response - a vague and slightly confusing dichotomy of "salty or watery" - left much to be desired. Such guidance was not particularly helpful. However, it's worth noting that she radiated friendliness throughout our meal, which somewhat compensated for her earlier lapse. Addressing the matter of cost, Doumo's pricing felt slightly elevated given the overall quality of the food. The age-old equation of value for money didn't quite add up in this instance. In summary, Doumo Japanese Restaurant provided a generally pleasant experience, though it had its fair share of shortcomings. It might not be our first choice for sushi aficionados, but for a relaxed meal in a friendly environment, it's a viable option.

Never expected that I will have a good experience from this restaurant The location and shop size were a doubt for me to enter the restaurant , but I'm glad that I did my 10 years old kids was in love with the food

Green tea was average Service staff not very helpful Redemption: insanely good sushi 🍣 🚨WC: not friendly for kids as requires going downstairs

I ate Gyoza and won! Not only because I participated in the little promotion, but because the Gyoza and my noodles were all quite tasty. Duomo was a happy accident of discovery for my wife and I when we stepped off the bus one stop too early. We decided to make this our impromptu date spot. The space was clean but tight, and cozy is definitely the right word for it. A local corner eatery that seems happy to be serving parties of one and twos. You're not coming here because the food is super authentic or it's super high end, but it's comfortable when you want a night-bite away from your flat or you want to some mild impressing of a date with something a little different. The menu is largely Japanese with some other "pan Asian favorites"--and is easily two steps better than "mass market Japanese chain found everywhere" food. Bonus, the staff is friendly and the toiles are clean. Also, you can try the Gyoza, and maybe you'll win a cute pen. I'd certainly come in to eat (and play) again.

Nice stop for lunch. Quick, tasty Japanese food. Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box was v good, filling and cheap (on the lunch menu) Edamame was a let down though. It was like it has been microwaved and had lost most of it's texture! Miso soup was delicious and warming. All in all a good experience. Prices were really good on the lunch menu, as a student I really appreciated the price compared to portion size! Service was impatient but not rude. It didn't really hinder my lunch, just not a chatty server.
