The place looks nice, the food is decent, but the price is salty. Very salty. Although I wasn't particularly impressed by their dishes, one of my friends swears they have the best Chirashi in town. So maybe it's just my own particular taste. Regardless, expect the usual business during peak dinner times, but even on Saturday evening when I came, it wasn't particularly crowded. They do seem to get reservations for the outside sitting, so keep that in mind if you'd like that.
I have come to this restaurant many times with friends or on date nights for dinner. It's a cute, intimate spot with some indoor and outdoor seating. If you come early enough, there usually isn't a wait. The nigiri and rolls here are pretty good, portion sizes are appropriate and prices are normal. Service is quick. If you're looking for a casual, go to sushi spot to satisfy your cravings in the Hayes Valley area, I'd recommend giving Domo a try!
Domo was a great experience for my friend and I! The outdoor seating was fine in 60-degree weather with the heat lamps. We came at 6PM and there was already a waitlist for indoor seating. What we ordered: + Black Pearl [4.5/5]: Great great umami roll. I think it could have some more depth like acidity or saltiness, but the black pearl roll is a great mouthfeel of fatty fish and caviar. + Castro Roll [3.5/5]: An average roll. + Poke Tacos [5/5]: HIGHLY recommend these. Super great portion for the price. Really delicious flavor. I think the ratio of fish to everything else is very well-balanced. Each bite has a great ratio of crunchy seaweed to a mouthful of fish to that umami avocado and sauce. I would 100% order these again as an appetizer. I would definitely come try again! The quality was pretty good, though nothing in particular blew me away except for the poke tacos. :)
Great neighborhood sushi spot with great service. Came in right before last call and ordered the California crab roll and a spicy tuna roll. The sushi taste super fresh and the the prices are really fair. Great spot to swing by and have a couple rolls and roll on with your day. For two rolls and a bowl of miso was $35. They also have specials that are hand written on the glass wall inside with other options that aren't in the menu. It's not a very large restaurant so seating can be limited if it does get busy but the inside is very clean.
Tried this place for the first time and I loved it! I came on a Monday night at 7pm, so getting a seat wasn't a problem. It's a smaller place though so that's something to keep in mind for a day that might be busier. The service was very attentive and friendly. I'll always order salmon collar if I see it on a menu and this one was huge! It's felt like a whole salmon fillet along with the collar. The black pearl roll was my favorite. It had a good seared flavor and the dollop of truffle pate on top wasn't overwhelming. The jalapeño hamachi was also a solid choice. I'd pass on the zesty salmon tempura roll next time, but I'm also not the biggest fan of shrimp tempura in general. I'll definitely come back here. I loved the quaint atmosphere and the generous amount of fish given in each dish.
such a cute date spot. it's soo romantic. the seating outside r all benches facing the road and they have a heat lamp above every single bench. also u can ask for a blanket, they'll provide one to keep u extra toasty. now onto the food. i'm impressed by the ratio of yuzu in some of the dishes we ordered. it worked wonders with the salmon citron and hamachi crudo (OUR FAV) i can't stop thinking about it!!! and the black pearl (scallop + truffle another heavenly pairing) also had that hint of citron that never once overpowered the fish even tho u can taste it clear as day workers there are also attentive and personable, i so so recommend!
A cute place in hayes valley that has seafood options. It's a small place but has a good options and is in a good location.
Not the best tasting sushi, but the cute space and ambience definitely deserve recognition. Being in Hayes Valley, a prime location, they still manage to offer reasonably priced sushi. The rolls are quite large and filling, which is nice. That said, nothing really stood out as special. Even the Castro Roll, w/ a unique name, is basically just a rainbow roll. Still, it's a great spot for a cute outing or a quick stop for bare minimum sushi rolls.
This is a very small restaurant with a simple menu. We went on a Saturday evening, and the wait was surprisingly only about 20 minutes. The service was okay: slightly rushed, but understandable given the small space and quick turnover. We started with the Negi Toro Roll, which was pretty standard. The Black Pearl Roll caught our eye with its interesting description, and we were told it tends to be hit or miss. Personally, I thought it sounded better than it actually tasted. The flavors don't go that well together. The Sunkis Roll was better, because I liked the combination of salmon and lemon. The real highlight of the meal was the Poke Tacos. We literally debated ordering another round. They come as a pair, but you can add a third if you're dining with an odd number of people. Each taco is a crispy tempura seaweed shell topped with poke and a generous heap of seaweed salad. I'd come back for the poke tacos alone, but otherwise, the food didn't leave a strong impression.
Cozy sushi spot with plenty of space right in the heart of Hayes Valley. I'm not a huge sushi lover, but I liked this this place wasn't just mood lighting and a high price tag. They had a good mix of rolls, and I left pretty satisfied after a dinner with 3 friends. They were pretty busy but there wasn't a wait on a Thursday night. Would come back and try more rolls!
Needed a quick bite and came to Domo as I heard they had ties to a very famous influencer's father. Not sure what I was expecting, but thought it would be more than low-quality nigiri. The service was good as they were attentive and seated me very fast. There is very limited seating. I opted into sitting at the bar as it was only available for parties of 1. The yuzu sashimi was good, but the nigiris were sub-par or low quality to my standard. It wasn't that great in my honest opinion. The sushi tacos were loaded, but just seemed like it was put together with a bunch of sauce.
My boyfriend and I were in the mood for sushi after shopping in Hayes Valley, and we discovered Domo on Yelp. Due to their limited seating, they don't take reservations. We arrived on a Saturday around 7 PM and found the place packed, with a party ahead of us and maybe one table available outside. We opted for inside seating as it was chilly outside (but there were heaters outside FYI). We were seated within ~15 minutes at a table. There were ~4 tables and some bar seating inside. We quickly fell in love with the cozy, intimate ambiance inside. The tables were spaced out nicely, and the table size was perfect for all the dishes we ordered--no issues moving anything around. The staff was friendly. Here is our order for the night: Large Sapporo Beer and Umeshu (plum wine): I was thrilled to see umeshu on the menu, as it is my favorite alcoholic drink! I am used to having it with club soda, so it definitely felt strong, but it was still smooth and tasty. Miso Soup: Great appetizer. Edamame: Comes in a very generous portion, perfect for sharing. Crunchy California Roll and Domo Roll: These rolls were good but, unfortunately, a little underwhelming. They were tasty, but not incredible. Omakase (4pc): This was the highlight of the meal! The nigiris were top-notch and the fish was very fresh. We'll definitely be ordering more nigiris on our next visit! Our meal was the perfect amount of food to satisfy us. The total, before tip, was $104, which I think is a reasonable price for the quality of the food.
This place was so so so so so good I almost cried eating the domo roll !! This is a cute little restaurant tucked in Hayes Valley that you can expect a waiting list at upon arrival. It is so cozy yet classy inside and you are greeted by the amazing folks who work there. The star of this night was the domo roll, to which I have no words to say other than that roll was FIREEEEE like each bite felt like fireworks exploding :,) I could eat like ten of these in a row. If you are ever in the area pleasseeeee make sure you try this because WOW. Must come back and have again !
The fish quality here is good! As others said, your entire party must be there before being seated. It's a quaint hole-in-the-wall restaurant with several tabletops and rotating specials. The menu carried the same theme, short, sweet and simple. Our server was lovely, and it was just a no-frills sushi spot that I'd come back to because you don't have to get omakase all the time to enjoy good sushi! The wooden dishware and unique glassware was beautiful read more
Such a cute sushi spot. Intimate seating, great location, fresh sushi, and friendly service. Perfect for a date spot or to catch up with a friend. Seating is limited, so it might not be the best option if you're coming with a large group. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis and there's typically a queue. You can put your name on the waiting list and walk around the charming neighborhood. They will call you once your table is ready. The sushi is always delicious and fresh! You can't go wrong with any of the special rolls (the black pearl is the best) or the sashimi. read more

Domo is a cute and cozy sushi spot in Hayes Valley that's perfect for intimate get-togethers. We came by at around 6pm on a weekday without reservations and got seated quickly at the bar. - Small sashimi platter: We were a bit surprised by how small the platter actually ended up being. I believe the sashimi is chef's choice and may vary by day. We both liked the salmon more but probably wouldn't order this again due to the size and price. - Domo Roll: Just had to order the roll named after the restaurant! This was baked (which means it takes a little more cooking time) and decadently sauced. Would recommend for anyone who's a fan of warm, baked sushi rolls. Overall, a tad bit on the pricier side for the amount of food we got, but the experience and service was still pretty good! The other menu items are definitely worth a try as well. :) read more
Small cosy place with fresh delicious food. We came there in a Sunday night and there were a couple of spots available. Rolls came super fast and were really good. We ordered Castro (with different fish), daddy (salmon on top and crunchy inside) and Domo (very juicy baked roll). The staff was nice and helpful and the music nice and chill. I definitely enjoyed my time there and going to come back again read more
I'm not sure if it was because I opted for takeout instead of dining in, but the rolls I received were just mediocre. The flavors were a bit lacking, and the fish slices were not thick and not as fresh as I expected. The seared roll, in particular, lacked the smoky charred flavor I was hoping for. While the prices are reasonable given the prime location, I was unimpressed overall. It's definitely not the best spot for sushi, though the value is there for what you get. read more

Took my friend to my new favorite sushi and sashimi spot! He loved it! I drank Sauvignion Blanc and he had a wonderful cold Sake. Met the owner Luke, who was sitting at the counter. The wonderful waiters/servers, Frankie and William made sure that everyone including my friend, Roger and I had everything we needed from water, beverages, and freshly sliced lemons, requested for our water. The miso soup was delicious as always. Their edemame was fresh and tender, and sprinkled with salt. The two rolls we shared were incredible. Everything was fresh and buttery soft. The texture was incredible. The unagi was as fabulous as it was the first time I had it. Consistency is the key, and everything is consistent, and that is always what keeps me coming back to any business. Bernardo was the head sushi chef, and he and the other sushi chef kept the fresh entrees coming! The place was packed, both inside and out, and Frankie and William kept the place jumping. Can't wait to go back! Conversation was easy, and the ambiance is warm and friendly. read more

Very good sushi close to our area. Yesterday evening we picked up some rolls from this restaurant and we enjoyed them at home. We ordered: - the Castro roll: very good - real crab California roll: easy but very good (when it's real crab you can taste it) - domo roll: good but it was already cold when we ate at home, so it's better to try it at the restaurant - black pearl roll: very delicate (the truffle amount was perfect) - sake toro nigiri (2 pieces): delicious Overall, sushi was fresh and good. read more

Came here last night for dinner and it's such a cute neighborhood spot in Hayes Valley! It's a small place so not a lot of seats, you put your name down and once a table opens up you can sit down. We had the warm sake, some rolls and nigiri and it was all pretty tasty! I loved how the seat we had faced the street too it had a cute ambiance to it! Would definitely come back if I was in the mood for sushi and nearby Hayes Valley. read more

such a quaint and cozy dinner spot! my favorite were the nigiris with essentially just fish and the rice because the fish was very fresh but the domo roll was very flavorful and great combination of things and probably a group favorite of ours besides the hotate nigiri because fresh and the right amount of fatty! read more
This gem in Hayes Valley was a lovely casual sushi dinner for our weekday night. We came around 7 and were able to be seated inside immediately. There's not too much seating inside - most of it is counter or hightop tables. There was also some outdoor seating. The spot had a cozy ambience. We got chicken karaage, the IC roll, and the negi hama roll. The chicken karaage was especially crispy and seasoned well. The rolls were fresh and tasty - each had 8 pieces. Our food came out pretty quickly. The price felt average for the area. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back for a sushi fix! read more

Got nice sushi with my buddies here! We got the Castro roll, Daddy Roll, and tekka tuna roll. I like how there are many types of sashimi in the Castro roll. Came with complementary hot tea. There's also outdoor seating! Down to come back to try more rolls. read more
I thought the sushi was very good, especially the Dino roll. The amount of flavor in every bite was overwhelming delicious. This restaurant is pretty small, with 3 tables outside and a table bar area inside with one other table. It took us sooooo long to get our food. We waited for about an hour and a half. It soured our experience. It seemed like they prioritize to go orders rather than the people waiting in their establishment. read more
This place was so solid! The wait for the food took a little longer than I had hoped for, but the quality was really, really great. This place was tiny so I thought there would be a long line but we were seated in under 5 min. We got some rolls and shared them and were pretty full. read more
Such a cute little spot! They have some outside tables and the inside is mainly 2 bar spaces. We came for a 6pm dinner on a Tuesday and snagged the last open bar seats. The menu is small but classic! The ingredients and fish were all super fresh, and my favorite item was the hamachi crudo! This place is definitely on the pricier side but a nice vibe for good sushi! read more

Food favorites: dragon roll (classic unagi roll, good portion size and clean plating, fresh) Service: super great service! The waitress saw my group of three was in a chatty mood and offered us to wait a few minutes for the next table for a more intimate meal rather than sitting at the open bar area. Also super polite and attentive during the meal Vibes: small sushi shop for lowkey nights read more

This small little restaurant is one you need to go to! Inside there's only one counter and table seating with a few tables outside. It is a first come first serve situation here. My friend and I went around 6 pm and was seated immediately. However, there was a little wait around 7 so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the counter seating, while looking out onto the street. It was fun eating with my friend and people watch at the same time. As for food, everything was amazing. The fish tacos are something you have to get. The crispy base with the fresh salmon was delicious. We ordered the black pearl roll which is one of their specials (written on their mirror inside). The truffle flavor was very subtle in the roll. I wish I had a bigger but the roll was still good. The Castro roll is a very solid roll as well. Also, the service was kind, quick, and attentive. I have no bad things to say about Domo. A great casual sushi restaurant to go on any given day. read more

Domo is perfectly good sushi for a casual weekend dinner. Their menu offers unique rolls alongside the other items you'd find at a more high-end place - like fresh uni, fatty toro, and more. The rolls are quite a bit smaller than other sushi restaurants, only 6 pieces to a roll. The negitoro maki is my calibration standard against other sushi spots - it was fatty with a healthy amount of green onions. I also loved the salmon crudo - the red onion and ponzu really balanced the richness of the seared salmon sashimi. Super delicious! This is one of the few places in the city where you don't have to pay a fortune for fresh fish - no long waitlist, no $$$$ price tag, and unpretentious in the best way. I am so glad to be near this local Hayes Valley gem. read more
I came here last week for the first time and I was really satisfied! We ordered the o-toro, dragon roll, spicy tuna roll, their version of a lion king roll and hamachi crudo as an appetizer. My favorites were the hamachi crudo and o-toro nigiri. Both were so delicious and flavorful. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but cozy. With such a tight size of the restaurant, your clothes will smell afterward. I would skip the spicy tuna roll since it wasn't anything special. read more
This is the definition of what I called neighborhood sushi restaurant. It's small and cozy but not overpriced and you will be getting quality food. We absolutely loved the poke taco - so creative and so flavorful. The avocados on top were also a great touch. Roll wise absolutely loved the Black Pearl and Daddy Roll (tempura onion and a dash of yuzu perfect combo!!) Would recommend if you are looking for sushi and don't want to overspend. read more
A great little neighborhood style sushi bar. Only counter and sushi bar seating. Good quality sushi. I can especially recommend the Black Pearl roll, albacore and scallops with truffle oil. Innovative. Interesting sake selection. We had the Kiki-Masamune Taru, which is aged in cedar casks, giving it a spicy bite. Not your high end Omekase place, but good. read more

Cozy indoor seating. And they have outdoor seating with heat lamps. The high chairs are awkwardly tall for the tables so you're really hunched over. The chairs are also not padded so super uncomfortable. Rice was too wet/mushy. Fish wasn't terrible but a bit stringy for me. I got the Domo roll, negi Hama, and albacore nigiri. read more
I've been eyeing Domo for a while now because of their suuuper cute outdoor seating set-up. I swung by and tried it for the first time tonight with my pup Simba, and I was VERY impressed by the wonderful service--our server was super nice and very accommodating. :) The sake nigiri was delicious, and the rice was super soft/fresh. Really looking forward to trying some of their rolls next time. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back :) read more
Favorite sushi spot in town. Perfect for a date, friends, clients or even solo. They have a fantastic lunch menu and even better dinner menu. You absolutely must try the famous Domo if you enjoy baked rolls. But honestly everything on their menu is delicious. The space is cozy and intimate so be sure to arrive early in case it's rush hour. They don't take reservations but there are a handful of shops to kill time on Hayes until you're seated. If you have the pleasure of meeting Tuya or Vilrex, you're in good hands! read more
I came here as my friend wanted to try this place. 1. Reservation: recommended. They are not a big place and get full fast. 2. Service: very pleasant. Loved the Asian lady who helped our table. 3. Food: The scallop was on a spoon and loved the plating. Rolls tasted good, some where just okay, but a good mixture. 4. Drinks: they had a good selection of everything and we had a great time, hot sake was delicious 5. Parking: I was lucky to park right on the street, and it wasn't too busy, which is great. read more
