    Yellowtail and unagi foie gras handroll
    Tammy D.

    Another social media overhyped restaurant :( the place itself was a lot smaller than I expected. This was a little dinner date and we opted for the 3 course omakase, $45pp. Server was very knowledgeable and explained the menu thoroughly. Its supposed to have some korean influence but with the courses we were served, we didn't get any of that. The hamachi crudo was definitely the best dish. Very fresh and bright flavor profile just super thin cuts.. Edamame had zero hint of truffle and I would've just removed that part all together, could've done some gochujang spiced flavor instead. Nigiris were standard and nothing mind blowing. The cuts of fish were on the thinner side. The handrolls were much better but I was getting full by then. Spicy tuna wasn't spicy but the scallop was nice and buttery. My fiancé enjoyed his rolls but again nothing mind blowing. I'd say the price is fair here for the omakase but keep the expectations at a minimum. Oh and they need to work on their lychee martini.... it was sooo sour the first time, I had to ask them to make it sweeter. Second time around it was alright. Still not sweet enough and none of that fruity floral touch like other places. A couple next to us ordered it too and I saw his face, not the best reaction. Comparatively, I'd save my money and drop far more $$ somewhere else for something better. Sorry Domodomo!

    Still an amazing restaurant! I really think this is the top 5 restaurants in Dallas that one should visit! High quality, fresh seasonal ingredients that is curated with utmost care! I came for my birthday a week ago and am still thinking of it! The tasting menu is highly recommended! I was recommended the Korean fried chicken. I ordered it but tbh, I'd skip that. Everything else, EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!!!

    I enjoyed lunch at the quaint space at the quad. I had the beef bulgogi bento tray. The staff kept atop of all orders during the lunch rush. I hear the Korean fried chicken bento is lunch crowd favorite. Can't wait to try it and the hot beef udon noodle soup on upcoming visits.

    The space is so much smaller inside than I thought it'd be, but the interior is really bright. Now the food, I don't know if my expectations were too high or what, but I found everything to be kinda mediocre. I do like that they have a tasting menu that's a really reasonable price. The service was pretty slow, but that might have been because I only saw 1 actual server.

    Came here for the lunch omakase and wow it expected expectations! Sushi was so fresh and delicious. Great option for a small omaskae and a great portion size for lunch. They have many more lunch specials as well so we will be back! If want elevated sushi but don't want to spend an arm and a leg, coming here for lunch is a great option!

    Absolutely delicious. Saw this place on Uber Eats and got it for delivery. The mushroom roll was unique and really good. Everything tasted fresh too.

    Miso black cod

    High quality fish, delicious wagyu and miso cod, reasonable cost, excellent service. Was recommended here by friends from church. Many small tables for 2 but also some for parties around 4. My wife and I got one order of the 3 course meal, a miso black cod, 2 nigiri of the A5 wagyu. The 3 course meal is definitely attractive with the hamachi crudo, 10 nigiri, 2 handrolls. The other courses were good but we were very impressed by the 10 nigiri and the quality of the fish. We then got the miso cod on the waiter's recommendation and it blew me away. So tender, moist, and it pairs very well with the puree and miso. We got the chile oil on the side since we can't handle spice well but I can see it also pairing very well with the dish. The wagyu of course was delicious and we are interested in trying the wagyu Korean salad entree next time. All in all a little bit under $100 before tax and tip. Finally the waiter surprised us with dessert since we were celebrating a special occasion. The Hojicha pudding honestly caught us by surprise. It's a subtle tea flavor and was thoroughly enjoyed by us. Finally we have to give a shout out to Lee our waiter. He was so attentive and respectful. He made our night even better. Would definitely come again!

    chef's choice 5 nigiri sushi

    Took my partner here for their birthday lunch and was extremely disappointed when they made no effort to minorly celebrate that. A different table got to have a sparkler dessert but we did not :( I don't even care if that's something not offered, however it is very distasteful that we were straight up forgotten and left out. Especially when I made a reservation specifically notating it was for a birthday and also reminding staff once we arrived. The interior is great with all the natural lighting. And the 4 course lunch set was fine, nothing too memorable or would make you want to come back. My favorite item was the hamachi crudo.

    Sushi lunch with Cabbage, sesame dressing, miso soup, edamame and dumplings
    Chandler G.

    Wow!! I was not expecting such fancy and calm atmosphere as soon as I walked through the doors. The environment is so clean, calm and relaxing. I ordered the sushi set which came with fresh sushi, miso soup, cabbage salad with sesame dressing, a dumpling and edamame! It was the perfect pick for someone who is very indecisive I believe the chef and server did a fantastic job explaining the menu, which was a little confusing at first but I appreciate the time and effort in answering my questions. I hope to come back soon to have a belated valentines celebration and birthday :) Thank you for having me :)

    Handrolls
    Jojuane P.

    Looks like I'm on the other side of enthusiasm for this place. They're known for their handrolls, so I focused my energy there and it was suggested to me I must try the Korean fried chicken. If I described the total eats experience in two words: boring and subpar. I'd return if I had a date because it's chic and has a vibe, but there are better options in the city if food is the focus.

    OVERCOOKED SCALLOPS
    R C.

    Was exited to try. Was somewhat disappointed with the overcooked miso cod and the overcooked scallops. Overall a solid 3

    Omasake lunch (absolutely delicious)
    LaToya A.

    Enjoyed a Friday lunch here with a girlfriend. The price is very good for the quality of sushi. The waitstaff was attentive and the ambiance was peaceful. We have already booked another reservation to go again.

    Interesting concept, I heard it's popular in the New York area. Let's get this out of the way... the sushi is pretty forgettable. However, the other dishes are quite good. I especially like the carpaccio dish. They really went over the top in presentation as the "cracker" for this dish was held in this big "vegetable garden" setup. If you order the caviar handroll, they roll out this giant cart and make it in front of you. Like I said, they really go all in with presentation. The negative is you might leave Domodomo hungry since the portions are on the smaller side.

    I went to Japan recently. I want to start there because the Japan trip is directly relevant to this…read morereview in a way that will become clear shortly and also in a way that is deeply embarrassing and I have made peace with both of those things simultaneously. Japan was extraordinary. The food was extraordinary. The trains were extraordinary. The trains specifically deserve their own paragraph because I have never in my life encountered a public transportation system that operates with the precision and quiet dignity of the Japanese rail network. Trains that arrive at the exact second they are supposed to arrive. Trains that leave at the exact second they are supposed to leave. A whole society of people moving through stations the size of small cities with calm purpose and zero visible distress, consulting their phones, reading books, buying things from vending machines that should not logically exist inside a train station but do because Japan has decided that convenience is a human right and I agree completely. I tell you all of this to explain what happened at the train station when we tried to find pizza. Now I know what you are thinking. You went to Japan and you tried to find pizza. And yes. Yes we did. We had been eating spectacular Japanese food for several days running, food that made us question every culinary decision we had made in our entire lives up to that point, and then something happened in the group dynamic that can only be explained as a collective temporary insanity and somebody said what about pizza and instead of saying no we are in Japan and there is yakitori available within forty feet of us at all times, everybody said yeah okay pizza sounds good actually. The station we were in had approximately forty seven exits. I counted. Not all of them. I counted forty seven before I gave up counting and simply accepted that exits were infinite and directional signage was a suggestion. We had been told the pizza place was near exit B14. There was no exit B14. There was a B4 and a B41 and something that might have been B14 but was labeled in a way that required a level of kanji literacy I had not developed in the forty eight hours since landing. We walked for twenty two minutes. We passed the same Family Mart three times which I know because the same employee was stocking the same shelf each time and by the third pass he looked at us with an expression of gentle recognition and what I can only describe as compassionate pity. We never found the pizza place. We found a ramen shop instead and ate the best bowl of ramen of our collective lives and agreed to never speak of the pizza incident again except that I am speaking of it right now because it is directly relevant to the fact that when I came back to Dallas and needed Japanese food that did not require navigating a forty seven exit train station, I went to Tei Tei Robata Bar on Henderson Avenue and everything was immediately right with the world. Tei Tei has been on Henderson Avenue since the late nineties. Founder Teiichi Sakurai, who is also the man behind Tei An which if you have not been to Tei An please go immediately after reading this review and before doing anything else in your life, has been a James Beard semifinalist six times which is the kind of number that should be printed somewhere more prominently than it currently is, like on a highway billboard or possibly the side of a building. You walk in through a Japanese garden to get to the entrance. A Japanese garden. In Dallas. On Henderson Avenue. Between a taco place and a bar with a patio. I walked through it after the forty seven exit train station and my blood pressure dropped twelve points immediately and I have no medical evidence for this but I am confident it is true. Robata is the traditional Northern Japanese grill style. Wood charcoal. Low heat. Slow intention. Things arrive on skewers that have been coaxed rather than forced into deliciousness. The miso sea bass is the kind of dish that people describe by going quiet for a moment first. The cornflake shrimp is a thing that should not work as a concept and works completely as a reality. The daily special comes out in three parts, raw, robata, and more, and each part is a small argument for why you should be paying better attention to what you eat every day of your life. The sashimi sits in a case on ice near the kitchen and you can watch the chefs working with a calm precision that is genuinely meditative to observe, like a train system that runs on the exact second it is supposed to run, quiet and intentional and doing exactly what it is supposed to do without any drama about it. I sat at the sushi bar and ate things I will not fully describe because some experiences should be discovered and not spoiled. I thought about the ramen we found instead of the pizza we were looking for and decided that getting lost is sometimes the whole point.

    The food here was INCREDIBLE and well worth the wait. To be transparent, I did wait almost an hour…read morearound dinner time (7pm). The inside is tiny and there isn't even a proper "waiting" area. I've also tried coming here before, and there was also a long wait. I'm glad I decided to stick it out this time. We ordered the Wagyu sushi, Yakitori, Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, and the Tomato Ramen. The Wagyu sushi is torched right in front of you! The Wagyu was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious. My only *nitpicky* critique is the rice was ever so slightly too moist, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the sushi. Next, the Yakitori was phenomenal. I've never had such tender chicken in my life. There was a nice layer of delicious sauce coating the skewer. Again, just a really nitpicky feedback I have was that I wish the Yakitori had the tiniest bit more char to it, but nevertheless was an incredible bite, and I'd 100% order again in a heartbeat. Onto the ramen - easily hands down one of the best ramen I've had in DFW. The broth is flavorful, and I love the noodles. I'm not sure if they're handmade from scratch, but they had the perfect thickness and chewiness. I also loved generous the portion of cha shu slices. Most other places only give you 1-2 thin slices, but that was not the case here. The pork was tender. The ajitama was solid too, although I prefer more of a soft-boiled egg. While the meat portion is more generous here, the tonkotsu didn't come with many vegetables. A lot of other ramen places I've been to will have corn, fried garlic, etc as default, but those are all additional cost add-ons here. The ramen was delicious without them though but just something to note. We also got the tomato ramen as it's the chef recommendation. The dish is very creative and the execution was great. Personally, I still prefer traditional ramens but it was certainly a nice culinary creation to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would come here again. Just be aware there may be a wait, and because they're so busy, you do have to proactively flag down staff. However, the staff are still really nice despite all the tasks they're juggling at once.

Our table was seated directly beneath an air vent that was actively dripping water. During dinner, the water repeatedly dripped onto me.

When I brought the issue to their attention a second time, the response was the same; they wiped it down, but the dripping continued throughout the remainder of the meal. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected a more proactive solution and better attention to guest comfort. Additionally, our group ordered the Demon Slayer 300 mL sake, priced at $55. After pouring the sake, our server, Adonis, took the bottle away with him, even though we understood that the bottle was intended to remain at the table for our party. This added to the confusion and frustration surrounding the overall experience. As a first-time guest, I was looking forward to an enjoyable dining experience, but the lack of attention to these issues left me disappointed. While the food may have been enjoyable, the service and handling of these concerns fell short of expectations, particularly given the cost of dining here.
