    Wings!! Yum!
    Kristy N.

    Nice small lounge. Not too crowded, not too loud. Servie was great. Definitely gave good recommendations and was very friendly and patient. The food was so delicious. We are looking forward to going back for that Thai Loco Moco!! The wings were also fabulous! Crispy and lots of great flavor options! See yall soon! Definitely going back!

    Garlic Fried Chicken, yum
    Telly L.

    This jem was a surprise! This is an industry spot so you know food is going to be good. Small space with cute ambiance. We ordered the garlic chicken wings and chicken kimchee fried rice. The chicken was wonderfully crispy and loaded with freshly chopped garlic. When they say garlicky, they mean it! The fried rice was also very tasty and came in a large bowl topped with an egg. Highly recommend, bring your friends!

    Sushi menu. Mon to Wed only

    Dropped by on a Sunday night and happened to check out Back Alley Cafe. At first it was to have a couple of beers before heading to the next stop, but it ended up being a good time sharing stories and laughing with the bartender and waitress until midnight. Chad definitely knows how to treat his customers right, and Denise being there made the experience more enjoyable. I didn't have a chance to taste the food or their sushi, but its something to look forward to on the next drop in. The grindz thats posted on Yelp looks Ono! If your ever find yourself here, look out for the Chad special!

    Pork chop with mushroom

    Came here with my other half on a Friday night. Line out the door but luckily we made reservations in advance and had a kareoke room. Kareoke room is free for up to 2 hours if you spend up $100 on food and beverage, but kareoke songs are still $2 per song so don't forget to bring cash. Remote control was a bit confusing at first and no song book, but you get the hang of it after. The food though... that's why I'm writing this review. I've never been to a bar with such amazing food! Sushi was great, crab fried rice was wonderful and even the pork chop was insanely good!!! Would come back again for sure.

    Thum khao kapoon isn't on the menu, but chef phil is AMAAAAAZING!!! There isn't too much Lao restaurants on Oahu, but this place is it! Everything is delicious! The flavors, the spice level, the freshness is perfect! I can't explain enough how good the food is here! Customer service is on point! Like I said, chef phil is amazing.. amazing in his skill and treats you like family.

    Peach soju

    Red Dragon Roll Salmon Skin Salad Agedashi Tofu Back Alley Roll We got all of the above at Happy Hour prices after 10:30pm - yay! Thanks to Sari for the great service and helpful tips! She recommended that we get the $15 bottle of soju instead of the $20 mixture of soju with ice cream and yogurt. Good call! The Peach flavored soju was just right! I had been here before, but I was focused on karaoke ($1 per song in a free private room) and didn't get to eat that much (hard to do both at the same time). My friends were ordering food that looked really good, but no one was singing, so... I felt like I had to... haha! Sorry... LOL! This time, Lisa M. was so kind to help me celebrate my Night Off from work! She had the night off, too! We were SO HAPPY!!! Then Randy S. joined us and we laughed even harder and ate MORE yummy food!! Randy said that "Back Alley Roll" is kind of what they have the most of - like Special of the Day or "Whatever the Chef Feels Like Making". Our male server clarified this when I asked, "what is Back Alley Roll"? And I gave an example, "Like salmon?" And he said he could ask... ...and then it appeared... fresh and deliciously savory with a slight crunch from the slivered cucumbers! MMM! I ordered the Agedashi Tofu because I remember that Angel H. had that the last time we were here - and it looked ono - and she said it was... and we all agreed! Lightly battered to get the flavor to adhere onto the soft tofu... with various toppings which included a tiny spicy kick! I'd get it again - as well as the Red Dragon Roll and the Salmon Skin Salad. Yeah! I wanted the Uni... and I repeated it several times... However, wishing hard and saying things aloud doesn't make magic happen all of the time. When they run out, they run out. Like "If can, can. If no can, no can..." Shucks! This just means that we must return... The free street parking in metered stalls after 6pm is very convenient. Restroom was clean and functional. Environment was pleasant and spacious. The late Happy Hour was good timing for us because some people were leaving so the place wasn't crowded! If you come for the "Early" Happy Hour, go as soon as you can because every seat will be taken later! Note: Daily Happy Hour from 5:30 pm to 7:45 pm, and Late Happy Hour = Sunday-Thursday from 10:30 pm to 1:30 am.

    Cute Sashimi platter
    Chrissy L.

    Such a cute spot!! Came here with my boyfriend a few days ago for a pre-movie snack. We have driven pass this place so many times and finally decided to stop in and glad we did! We were too early for the chefs food but sushi was open and we just wanted smaller plates anyway. We ordered our usual drinks, and the BAE roll which was lovely and also the sashimi plater which was just as cute as it said on them menu lol. Very tasty! We were here right when they opened and Chad was our person. He was absolutely wonderful. Between the hospitality shown from Chad and and the sushi, we can't wait to come back again and try more food and maybe rent out the karaoke room one night!

    Spicy Chicken Wings...
    Jace T.

    If you're looking for someplace to kick it, eat, drink and maybe sing karaoke... then this is a spot you should consider... located on Sheridan St closer to King than Kapiolani and just mauka of Meadow Gold... with very little parking but quite a bit of street parking... but check out the signs because there are restrictions... inside is a lil' tiny with a bar and about half dozen bar seats and another half dozen tables, but if you get a karaoke room I can't help you cuz I've never seen them here... but the food is what I come for and friends come for the booze... The goods... 1) Spicy Chicken Wings... Spicy wasn't too bad for me and I don't usually do spicy but these have spicy and honey on them to give them a unique kick... done well and if you've had Vonn's chicken kinda taste like those... 2) Gyoza... nicely sized pieces with a pre-made dipping sauce... Imma give these a standard thumbs up... they were good but not special but still good! 3) Chef's Roll... someone ordered this and this was ono! Imma big fan of white onions and sashimi... if you like that combo get this one! 4) Chicken Wings... just fried chicken with ranch dipping sauce... was good without the ranch but together worked! 5) Chicken Karaage... seemed anorexic compared to the Chicken Wings we ordered but tasted surprising gud... of you don't wanna fuss with bones get this! 6) Ikura Uzura... was on the specials board... for the Ikura fans! 7) Pork Chops... pre cut and topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions... was a nice size chops and tasty! 8) Kim Chee Pancake... a Korean dish that came with the same sauce as the gyoza... was good but took forever to come out cuz my friend ordered this before I got there and came about second to last of all the things we ordered! 9) White Chicken... this was interesting... looked like baked chicken chopped up with a dish of cubed veggies or fruits and a separate dish with salt and pepper... I'm assuming to sprinkle as you pick you pieces... I don't remember eating this but was on our table and we also had a basket of fries soo I was kinda full when this Plate came out... ;) Service... good friendly service and they constantly check if we needed anything and refilled water routinely... I knocked down a star for the late Pancake and they're lack of control of LOUD patrons in the joint... dis one guy was yelling and pounding on the table next to us but no one asked him to keep it down... think he needed to be cut off! Otherwise this place is a legit watering hole to grind at... until next visit... Grind On! Pau!

We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor.

I also don't understand how Yelp lists this place as a "good for kids". It's not. There wasn't a kids' menu and the dishes were not kid-palate friendly (other than maybe the basic California style hand roll). For example, the fried tofu had shredded ginger on top that permeated the dish and the karaage had a very mild (but present!) note of spice that reminded me a bit of buffalo sauce. Our waiter didn't even give us a heads up or point us in the direction of any dishes to consider for the kids (surely we must not be the only family who has brought kids to this restaurant). Lastly, I understand that the tempura brownie is popular but after tasting the "tempura" on the tofu I'm sure the brownie is just the star that shines through. The "tempura" on the tofu was gummy and not the authentic Japanese tempura we are used to (my husband, who is part Japanese, said to me "What is this?! Cornstarch?"). This is probably a great restaurant for drinks and hanging out with some adult friends but the rolls and appetizers were just not to our tastes. We were also sat outside when the restaurant was near empty inside and out (we went around 4PM) and it was a hot day (though the AC wasn't particularly cool enough for my preference inside either).

The chefs and staff also had a good sense of humor.

    DOMO Café, you do NOT disappoint! Domo's Kahala location has quickly become our go-to, grab-and-go…read moresushi joint. Although they have a clean and comfortable space for dining in, we regularly stop by after church or on the weekends for something to savor at our favorite park. Seriously, it's easy to enjoy their bowls, sushi sets, or bentos anytime and anyplace. We've got a passion for this place. Here's how this love affair started...I discovered Domo when a friend invited me for some sushi and sips at her place. I was amazed at the beautiful platter of sushi that accompanied our sake and wine. My friends are the best hosts! I devoured the bombs, nigiris and rolls (in between sips!). Everything was simply delicious! Fast forward a few months, I order a couple sushi sets to host a poolside, golden-hour birthday get together at my other friend's home. (I know, you want to be part of this squad, right?!). Anyway, using the online order system is a snap! My hubby went in to pick up the sushi and said they were slammed but our sushi sets were ready to go. This time we ordered some ikura because the hubby and my bestie are big fans. Both agree it was fresh and fantastic! And the garlic set with the flash-seared fish and a hint of mayo is a MUST-try. We also ordered a California roll for my friend's aunt who is not really a sushi fan. She delighted in several pieces and even enjoyed the nigiri from the garlic set. Total convert! After enjoying the platters and sets, we had to try the bentos and bowls. This time it's just us and the pup at the park. The bentos provide a great variety and comes with miso soup. The hubby really likes the shrimp tempura with ahi and salmon nigiri and ahi poke. It's a steal at less than $20. I'm a bowl girl myself and like the spicy tempura. The tempura is cooked crisp yet tender. The spicy ahi poke combined with the creamy crab salad and the crunchy ocean salad delights all my tastes buds. It's truly an adventure in finding the perfect bite--and there are so many in this bowl! I also love the seared salmon bowl. It is melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I add the fried onions for some texture. You know a place is top-notch when you can feel confident that anything off their menu will satisfy your cravings. Because this is a Yelp review, here are some helpful tips. For sushi platters, pre-order. The online system is simple to use. Service is fast and efficient if you're just walking in for a quick bite or to grab something to go. Parking has always been easy for us to find in the small lot in the complex where Domo is located. It's right next to Assagio's Kahala. But if you're worried about parking, I suggest ordering in advance and then just picking up. This works great during peak dining hours. If you want fresh, delicious sushi that is reasonably priced be like us and visit Domo Café. You will probably also be like us and want to go back to try more.
