Domo Cafe Pearl Kai was great, and the service really stood out. I came in kind of rushed before work and had ordered ahead, but I accidentally sent my order to the wrong location. I did not realize until I got there, so I thought I would probably have to buy the whole meal again. Instead, they were immediately understanding and told me it was okay. They just remade my order at this location and did not charge me again, even though the mistake was completely mine. I don't know what happened to the order at the other location. Since it was a common order maybe they waited to see if someone else ordered that? That kind of service really stands out. They definitely did not need to do that, and it made a big difference, especially since I was trying to eat quickly before going into work. Since they were already helping me out, I added a fried fish side, and it was really good. It was very crispy and came with a sweet and sour sauce that worked well with it. I also liked that the fish was local to Hawaii, which made the place feel even more worth supporting. read more

We ordered a takeout sushi platter from Domo Cafe and placed the order two days in advance. Everything was ready on time, beautifully put together, and soooo good! We've been here multiple times and the fish is always so fresh, which is why we keep coming back. This place never disappoints! read more

Karaage chicken came out first, great way to start our first ever meal here. It had like a yuzu flavored mayonnaise to dip it in, gave it a nice subtle accent of flavor. Definitely getting this again. I had the sashimi bowl, nice big cuts of fish. Maguro, salmon and hamachi were really good! Ikura was a bit fishy, but then again all the ikura in Hawaii is like that unless you spend a fortune on it. I would have preferred the sushi rice with a stronger vinegar flavor, but that is just my personal preference. The shoyu ramen bowl was the least favorite as the noodles were soggy, menma was a bit too crunchy and broth was just me. The ajitama egg was super though, nicely seasoned with a thick yet stll runny yolk. Service was quite quick even though every table in the restaurant was filled. read more

Recently had lunch at Domo Cafe in Pearl Kai. This spot stands out for its fresh sashimi. The quality is consistently excellent, and you can really taste the difference in the cut and freshness of the fish. You can tell the owner takes real pride in what's being served, offering only on the best selections. No stringy cuts. A solid go-to in Pearl Kai when you want something fresh and well prepared. read more

Probably 3.75 rounded up to 4. A step up on Genki but not as good as the neighboring Tadashi. We had an open night on the family cook squad so the "boys" decided to do pickup from Domo Cafe. Ordering was easy and we all got something different. The guys picked it up it was ready when they said it would be. I'd hit this place up again as it was okay value and you got exactly what you ordered. Parking is either fronting the business in Pearl Kai or around the lot. It's easy access. read more

Just needed a place to eat. Busy day and already 2pm and nothing but coffee for the day. Domo Cafe will take care of you! Quickly seated, got my drink fast. Decided on the yuzu poke and it was out in a jiffy. Probably the freshest tasting poke Ive ever had at a restaurant. I felt so calm, content and cared for. Thanks Donmo Cafe!!! read more

We just had a wonderful lunch experience here at Domo Cafe. The menu selection is on spot! Sushi, Poke Bento plates, poke salad, udon, chicken teriyaki, shrimp tempura, etc. The food was excellent. They even had a ahi out on the counter that was getting sliced up. The staff was great and attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch here and are looking forward to coming back in near future. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Domo Cafe Pearl Kai - Fresh Ahi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Ordered dinner from Domo Café and went with the #9 Aburi Sushi Platter, which comes with 32 pieces of nigiri: seared ahi with mayo, seared salmon with mayo, and spicy tuna gunkan. At $65, this felt like a great value for the quantity and quality you're getting. Flavor-wise, the platter leans slightly on the sweeter side, likely from the drizzle of unagi sauce, but the fish quality was excellent -- fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying overall. We phone-ordered in advance and pickup was seamless. The staff continues to be kind, helpful, and efficient, which always makes the experience better. After Domo Café replaced my longtime go-to sushi spot, KuruKuru, I was a little skeptical, but this definitely delivered. I'll absolutely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Domo was really good. Everything was fresh. Nothing crazy priced. They could have more servers. They only had one server for a Friday evening and the place was packed. So he was running rampant. So the service was slow. There were a couple of runners. But the server was doing everything and doing drinks. So hopefully it was fluke. The bentos had great portions and variety. The poke bowl was good and their rolls were good too! 4 bentos and a poke bowl . $104 with tip! I know there are only 3 bentos pictured. One bento was ordered twice. Thankfully we live close and will be back. read more

We are from out of state and staying at Aulani and was recommended for their poke. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the California poke and hubby had the chicken teriyaki bowl.

Located inside the Pearl Kai Center, former Kuru Kuru Location next to Coco Curry is Domo Cafe. I was craving for some sushi, but instead was captured by their Poke bowl menu. Ordered the Spicy Tempura Bowl, but instead of spicy tuna I replaced it with the Yuzu Shoyu Ahi. Let me tell you the presentation and the quality of the ingredients used surprised me. They use sashimi grade fish which is top tier and if you're not into raw fish they do serve hot dishes such as tempura and ramen. There are also lunch sets and sushi bentos as well. I also ordered a Hong Kong Style Iced tea and it was delicious. I may need to come back and try their desserts too. read more

Sorry, still trying to catch up on all my reviews. But I'm so so glad we finally have a Domo Cafe on my side of the island! Their second location is in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center in the old Kuru Kuru. You really can't go wrong with the prices and how fresh the fish is. It's really close to my boyfriend's house so we've been here a few times already. And we just got a gift card for here so my mouth is already drooling to go back. There's usually always tables available when we go which is nice that we don't usually have to wait. We both got don's and it comes with miso soup. My boyfriend added uni to his with a side of shrimp tempura (his two favs!). I love that you can taste how fresh the fish is and everything is flavorful but not overpowering. The yuzu flavor is always my favorite to get with my poke. And I like that it's on sushi rice which makes it that much better. The staff is usually always very friendly and attentive. And our orders usually comes out fairly quickly. I definitely recommend you checking them out if you haven't already done so! read more

So the hubby and I planned to grab subs for lunch. On our way we see a sign that said Domo Cafe and suddenly remembered that we seen YouTubers do a review on this place. Since then we've been wanting to try it. So we pivoted, and walked into Domo. The place wasn't busy when we got there but that changed very quickly. We ordered and couldn't believe how fresh everything was. Also, it came out so fast. We got to see the chef slicing up fresh fish at the counter. We can't wait to go back!! read more

I'm honestly blown away that this place just opened this year--it already feels like a staple in Aiea. If you're a fan of poke or sushi, this spot is a hidden gem you need to check out. The salmon nigiri is hands down some of the freshest I've ever had on island, and their bowls are equally impressive. Every bite tastes clean, vibrant, and full of flavor. The space itself is spotless and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Service was super friendly and the vibe of the place makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you're craving poke, sushi, or just a casual spot with seriously good food, this place delivers. Highly recommend making the trip--you won't regret it. VISIT. Update: went here today and omg soooo good. read more

Domo Cafe Pearl Kai - garlic ahi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Domo Sushi is one of those hidden gems you're so glad you found. Tucked away in Aiea, this cozy little spot serves some of the freshest, most flavorful sushi on the island without the crazy prices or long waits you'd get in town. The fish is always top quality -- buttery, fresh, and perfectly cut. Their specialty rolls are creative without being over the top, and the nigiri is melt-in-your-mouth good. The Domo Roll and Spicy Garlic Ahi are my go-tos, and the tempura is light, crispy, and never greasy. The service is warm and welcoming, and you can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. It's not a huge place, so it fills up quickly, but that just adds to the cozy, local feel. Great spot for date night, takeout, or a chill sushi dinner with friends. If you go in a group of 4 or more, be sure to try out their sushi platters for everyone to share family style! read more

Domo Café has opened their second Hawaii location in the former Kuru Kuru space at Pearl Kai shopping center. Although they are known for their sashimi grade fish featured in their sushi sets and rolls, they also offer non-fish bowls like teri chicken and sukiyaki beef as well as cooked fish so there is something for everyone. The menu is pretty extensive, but I quickly decided on the Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl and it was delicious! Since our group dined during Domo Café's Saturday free fish cutting demonstration, we lucked out and got treated to samples of the freshly cut ahi. Service was great and I like that the restaurant is nice and bright. Another pro is that they take reservations! They are open daily from 10:30am to 8:30pm for dining and take out. read more

I've been a fan of Domo Cafe since they first opened in Downtown back in 2015. They always have such great quality fish and their sauces are perfect! It's been a hot minute since I've been back to Domo Cafe since I've been working out near the Airport but now that the Pearl Kai location opened, I knew I had to come down! Staff is so friendly and quickly greeted us when we entered, asking whether we were dining in or ordering to go. There is ample seating inside to dine in and some bench seating inside to allow you to wait for your to-go order. I ordered the seared salmon bowl and omg that was amazing! Salmon was so fresh and the unagi sauce and I'm assuming a kewpie mayo type of sauce on top, so good! Perfect portioning between fish, sauce, and rice. If you need a sushi fix, this is definitely the spot! I'll be back again soon! read more

If there's one thing that has a chokehold on me, it's sushi! I probably crave it at least 3x a week. * Location & Parking: This is Domo Cafe's newest location in Pearl Kai Shopping Center, where Kuru Kuru Sushi previously was. We didn't have trouble finding parking as there were ample stalls at the storefront and throughout the lot. * Ambiance: This is such a cute spot for a casual lunch/dinner. The bright & natural tones of the restaurant were so pretty! I honestly kind of want the dining furniture for my own home lol. There's a bathroom located within the restaurant. * Service: We dined-in for an early Friday dinner. It was moderately busy, but we were seated right away, and our order was taken and delivered very quickly! * Food/Drink: The seared salmon bowl was so good that I'm still thinking about it--I loved the garlicy flavor of the salmon and how the rice-to-fish ratio was just the right amount! We also had a nigiri set, which was so fresh. My favorite was the hamachi! * Price: Sushi can get really expensive nowadays, but honestly everything here was very affordable! read more

Found out that this place opened in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center where Kuru Kuru Sushi was located. Checked out their menu and the pics on Yelp to make it easier to know what we want. My list was pretty long so we ordered the ones we wanted to try first: - Appetizer: Age Dashi Tofu $9.95 that was topped with a generous portion of Bonito Flakes. There were 12 deep fried cubes of tofu and just enough Soy-Dashi sauce that was in a container. The tofu was so soft on the inside...like eating pudding. Yum! - Appetizer: Ika Gesso Kara'age $9.95 that came with 6 pieces of battered and deep fried squid with a Yuzu mayo sauce in a container. This might've been a little overcooked because it was kind of hard but it was tasty with the sauce. - Sushi Rolls: Fresh Spicy Tempura Roll (C4) $13.95 - shrimp tempura rolled in sushi rice and topped with spicy ahi. The spicy ahi had just enough kick for me. Sometimes, places prepares it so spicy, I can't eat/enjoy it. This roll was good but I was hungry and lazy to mix the wasabi/shoyu sauce...think it would've tasted so much better. Next time... - Udon Sets & Donburi: Teriyaki Chicken (D7) $14.95 - strips of teriyaki chicken over rice. The chicken was really good...lots of taste but thought it was really pricey that consisted of only chicken that's maybe equivalent to 2 pieces of thighs with rice in a container that I thought was small. Maybe it should come with a bowl of miso soup??? Even though it was good, don't think I'd order this again for that price. - Special Bentos: Furikake Salmon & 2-pc Garlic Hamachi (A9) $19.95...all bentos come with hot miso soup. The salmon was moist and tasty and the miso soup was really good too! We enjoyed most of the food and would return to try different menu items. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach...we had enough leftovers for another meal so instead of $70 for a meal for 2, it's like a meal for 4...yay! The worker who helped me was very nice and patient and answered all of my questions. He had my food in a paper bag when he brought it from the back, took it all out to go over everything from what sauces belonged to what item and informed me that the bento included the miso soup which I was unaware of. Nice surprise! The dining area is spacious, clean and bright...very inviting! On a tv monitor, it showed that they hold a "Live fish cutting each Saturday at 11:30am". Wow, I'm now planning to come back to attend this presentation and order lunch! The shopping complex has a lot of free parking and sometimes hard to find empty spaces but where Domo Cafe is located, we tend to have an easy time finding close parking. read more

I swear I left a review here before but I guess not! This has become my husband and my go to sushi spot. I love the seating, ambience and extensive menu. The service is fairly quick and the food is always fresh. Their fish is high quality and the prices are fair. If I had to hype something on the menu, the yuzu salmon bowl is my absolute favorite. It's fresh and light and well balanced. I have tried their nigiri, rolls, and everything has been good. I also love the volcano roll. One last winner is the tempura. It's crispy, light and not oily in comparison to other places. Must try. read more

Located in the Pearl Kai shopping center, there is plenty of parking. It tends to be a crowded lot around lunch and dinner time. The dining room is bright, spacious and very clean. When you walk in, you can order at the counter for take away or you can be seated for dine in. Service is very prompt and attentive. The quality of the sushi/pokè is very fresh! Their sushi rolls are very big!! We even saw them rolling in two fresh huge fish from their delivery van! It was very cool to see! It's not cheap to eat here, but it's not overly expensive for the quality. I'd recommend this place to anyone! read more

This place took over the spot where Kuru Kuru used to be. I was in Avid visitor there, attended on a weekly basis. I was quite saddened to see it leave. However, I finally took a dive and tried this new place, Domo cafe. The food was incredible, the selections were great. What we ordered was quite delicious and we were pleased with the service. Staff were nice and helpful. The Ambiance was really nice, clean, inviting. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but it was very good food and we definitely will be back again! read more

We came to Domo Cafe for a friend lunch date on a Monday. It wasn't crowded at all, but service to order was a little slow. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly. I tried the spicy tempura bowl that comes with spicy ahi, shrimp tempura, and crab. It was yummy and did not taste super fishy. My husband got the chicken karaage and the spicy ahi. It was interesting that the cut on the spicy ahi and the one in the bowl were different. It was diced smaller, which he loves. However, mine was large chunks. My daughter got the udon with tempura. Overall the food was really good. Prices are reasonable, but not an everyday meal. I am happy that they have a location in kaimuki, which is close to my house. I definitely want to eat here again. read more

Congratulations Shucong & Family for this new location in Pearl Kai! They are some of the most hardworking and kind people we know. Good quality sushi at affordable prices without the frills. We usually go to the Kahala location. This new location is more spacious and bright, allowing for a sit down experience with servers. BYOB! Soft drinks are available for purchase. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout our dining experience. Parking is easy and plenty right outside. To celebrate my recent health recovery, we decided to order the Premium Tokujyo Platter for $99.95 to share with a side bento of our usual favorite order (Garlic Set) for $14.95. The Tokujyo Platter includes the Volcano Roll, Ikura, Hokkaido Scallops, Hokkaido Uni, fresh local Ahi, fresh salmon, and Japanese hamachi nigiri sushi. It was presented in a beautiful premium platter that elevates the experience. Every single piece was savored by us. The Hokkaido Scallops and Uni was my personal favorite. I'm happy to say the service and quality is the same here, if not better than their other locations. Wishing the owners all the best in their new business! read more

Great first impression from Domo Cafe Aiea! Stopped in after my son's haircut to grab a quick lunch - he was excited to see they finally opened. We only grabbed takeout this time, but I was surprised to see it's actually a full dine-in restaurant with table service, not just a takeout joint. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The space is clean, bright, and looks like a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy a meal with family. My son got the Seared Salmon Poke Bowl and said it was fresh and tasty, with a good portion of sushi rice. He likes to get this at their town location and was just as pleased here. Regular price for the bowl is $16, but with their 20% off Grand Opening deal running thru May 24, our total was a little over $13. Even better! :) To me, Domo Cafe is a close comparison to Ahi & Vegetable or Hou Fish Market. We'll definitely be back to dine in and try more off the menu - lots of things caught my eye & my wife is always excited to see fresh uni on the menu. read more

Came by Domo Café around 5:30 PM on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and we were seated right away, but it did start to get a little busy soon after with people waiting to get a table and picking up to-go orders (always a good sign). Unlike other locations, this Domo offers full wait service. The staff was super friendly and attentive, keeping our water glasses full and making sure we were taken care of. Food came out quickly and everything looked and tasted great. We had the Seared Salmon Bowl, the Domo Premium Bowl with yuzu shoyu, and the Rainbow Roll. The fish was fresh, portions good, the rice was pillowy soft, and that yuzu shoyu added a nice brightness that complements the fish so well. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual dine-in experience with quality ingredients and solid service. read more

The old Kuru Kuru has turned into Domo Cafe at Pearl Kai Shopping Center! I went today for their grand opening where they had live fish cutting & a lion dance! My daughter loved the lion dance. After the lion dance, they had dim sum for their workers and a whooole roasted pig they were giving out to customers. My daughter loved it! They also gave my daughter a caprisun. We ordered & it was a while for our food to come out but, it was understandable. They were very busy! They also fed the whole lion dance team. Here's what we got: 1. Rainbow Roll: a California roll with real crab meat topped with a variety of fish including ahi, shrimp, hamachi, avocado. 2. Miso Butterfish Bento: came with salad and miso soup. The butter fish had a slight char & good flavor. It also came with Edamane & 2 seared ahi nigiri. The seared ahi had unagi sauce on it making it super flavorful. 3. Sashimi Bowl with salmon, ahi, hamachi, & ikura. The hubby said the fish was super fresh & the slices were thickkk! Overall, great customer service & quality food! This week only, get 20% off (excluding poke by the pound & sashimi platters). We'll definitely be back for the 20% off discount! read more

I love that there is a Domo Cafe closer to me so I don't have to go all the way to Kahala for my Domo Cafe fix. This location is larger and has more of a sit-down restaurant vibe in addition to their takeout. My go-to move for potlucks is a sushi platter from Domo Cafe, everyone loves the person who brings a sushi platter to the party! Plus, it's actually pretty reasonable with platters ranging from around $50-$100. My go-to is their aburi lovers platter for $60 and has 32 pieces. What sets Domo Cafe a part from other sushi spots is the quality of fish that you get for the price. The owner goes to the fish auction everyday to get the best fish- and he really knows what to look for. The best part? The price is fixed, even when the price of the fish might go up. Whenever you come to Domo Cafe, you know you're getting the best quality for the best price. read more

FRESH FISH! Look what came in as we just sat down.... Wheeling a huge fish in from auction... Can't get any fresher than this! Brother brought me and dad to his new favorite place. Domo Cafe Pearl Kai... Located next to T-MOBILE in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. Great friendly service, very attentive... Clean and comfortable inside. Water tasted good and clean. I ordered the $11.95 special of the day - salmon belly... I guess it's more of an appetizer, so I asked for a side salad ($3.50). He said when they have extra from a large fish, they cut it up for pupu and make it a daily special. Brother had to help me finish it. Very tasty with ponzu sauce on the side. Brother ordered his "usual" Domo premium poke bowl which had ikura on top... Yum! And grandpa had the bento - ikura, spicy poke, California sushi with poke on the side ... He ate it all... We were so full we passed on dessert... Maybe next time! They do take out and looks like ordering online could be easy - haven't tried it yet. But if you are dining in, and if you have a large group of friends, they have no problem in splitting the check by order... Their POS system has the flexibility so it's a nice place to order and pay for your own meal in a larger group. There was a big group celebrating something... And they were enjoying themselves! They just put several tables together for the group. Very flexible. Oh, grandpa was in a wheelchair so they pulled out a seat and he just rolled right in... Perfect height. Outside there are wheelchair ramps right in front of T-MOBILE next to handicap stalls. The fish is FRESH! Will be back! Mahalo for the great service! read more

Enjoyed the garlic salmon nigiri and spicy ahi bomb. Flavorful and the sauces were kind of on the sweet side. The plain nigiri (ahi, salmon, hamachi, ikura) was just okay. Takeout was quick and easy.

First time trying Domo and it's delicious. My 3 1/2 year old loved it too! The only thing wrong was my miso soup was spilling in my takeout order. The young girl said she'd make me a new one, then an older lady went up to her (looked like she was questioning why she was making another one) then she turned around and gave me mean look lol. Not too friendly for my first experience there. Other than that, we'll definitely be back! read more

10/04/25 Stopped here on a Saturday to pick up a late lunch because my regular go-to poke place near by had run out of poke an hour before closing. I had visited this location once before back in August for a Yelp event and been wanting to come back to try some other menu items. I ordered online a mixed poke bowl (E1, $15.95) and a sushi set (B4, $13.95), California roll, salmon, & spicy bomb. Wait time for the order was about 30 minutes, wow, didn't know it was going to be that long of a wait. I know it's not fast food and everything is made to order but I thought maybe 20 minutes tops but I just realized it was probably a busy Saturday for them. Got there early, waited in the car a little bit and then decided to go inside to wait in the a/c. The manager was at the counter when I walked in and informed him I had a online order. To my surprise, it was ready early by 10 minutes. The sushi set tasted great. It included 4 good-sized pieces of the California roll, 2 spicy bombs, and 2 salmon sushi. The poke bowl was ok. Flavor wise, nice and fresh tasting but it was such a small quantity for the price you pay. There seemed a lot more rice than other poke bowls I've had. That was a little disappointing. And I guess with this mixed bowl, you don't get a choice of poke, you get what they have. I wasn't sure what 2 poke I was getting. From the pics it looked like spicy and salmon. On the paper menu it says ahi or salmon and on their website it says spicy ahi and fresh onion ahi poke - a little confusing. The poke had good flavor and spiciness, just wish there was more of it. Overall, their sushi is ok, little on the high end but fresh tasting. read more
