    Our Fam @ Domoto
    Chris E.

    THE FOOD ---------------- + Corn Corn - Nicely plated fried sweet corn was delicious and tasty. + Pork Tenderloin Katsu - Loveeeed how flaky crispy the katsu was. A small white cabbage salad and perfectly cooked rice came with the katsu. The sauces and dressing that accompanied it were ridiculously so good. One of my favorite katsus EVER. + Niku Udon - Super tender braised beef and delicious broth that really gave the udon some awesome flavor. = Kids Curry Rice with Pork Tenderloin Katsu - Curry was absolutely delicous - so delicious that I used it to dip my own order of katsu into it. Unfortunately, the rice in the bowl was poorly cooked and way too soggy. = Kids Chicken Teriyaki - Teriyaki was very fresh and delicious, but, once again, the white rice was disappointingly soggy. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waitress was very quick with taking our order and courteous. + Our food came out pretty quickly after we ordered. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Stunningly simple, yet elegant decor. The entire interior is clean and very contemporary. + There is a private parking lot shared with a strip mall behind the Closter Center. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We made a resy for 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening and it wasn't needed at all. It was pretty busy inside, but there were still empty booths/tables available.

    Overall all the katsu were great. Very crunchy and clean taste. I personally like the Ebi (shrimp) but pork was good also. I would definitely return.

    Another visit to Domoto We ordered our favorite udon - Mazeman ($19) !!!! Still soooo good. My friend's Kimchi udon was just regular, similar to any broth with kimchi. Pork Loin donkatsu was soooo tender and thick - just that it is only one piece and pricey for that one piece !!!!! For $21 !!! The appetizer Corn corn was simple enough while waiting for the udon to come out. We mixed the rice that comes with the donkatsu with the Mazeman sauce leftover, and it was as if we had another new dish !!!! Worth the money !!!!

    The food is fabulous - the corn corn appetizer was very unique and unexpected. We had the Pork Katsu, Mazemen and Niku Udon. The drinks in a clear "soda-like" container is very unique. Service was terrific and the venue is perfect - it's very comfortable and plenty of parking available. The china for the teapot was pretty banged up.

    I discovered Domoto through pictures on social media of their eye-catching space. If you're into minimalism, you can't get better than the quiet, mellow vibes of this Japanese restaurant. I also came for their noodle bar. There's a window in the dining area that looks directly into the noodle-making room on site. I couldn't resist the opportunity to watch someone put on a live striptease show of my dinner. Sadly, the chef wasn't in when I visited, but trust me when I say the texture of these noodles are unreal. They're dense and chewy, so much that I had to ask if these were rice or flour noodles. It turned out to be made from flour, but it's got a glutinous heft and chew that made me think of rice. The mazeman dish is one of the noodle entrees that employs these freshly made noodles. I wasn't sure how spicy pork, almond butter, butter and scallions would come together, but it absolutely works. The aesthetics of the restaurant alone are worth a visit, but to make things even better, service is top notch. Not only was my server kind, warm, and attentive, but he was open with suggestions on how to better enjoy my meal. For instance, after I dug into my katsu appetizer, he brought over a little dish of a dark grey dressing. "It's a house-made black sesame dressing," he explained. "I personally like it with the cabbage." He was spot on. I was already loving the lightly dressed salad, but a little drizzle of the textured, nutty dressing took it over the top. Later, when I asked why my beer wasn't on my receipt, he smiled and said it was on the house. I was touched and grateful. Truly, I haven't had better service at high-end restaurants. I came for the vibes, I stayed for the food, and I'll have to come back for another visit soon.

    I've always loved DOMODOMO, so I went into DOMOTO knowing I'd probably enjoy it - even though it's a different, more casual concept. DOMOTO leans into Japanese comfort food (think katsu and hearty noodles), and it absolutely delivers. It carries the same attention to quality you expect from its sister restaurant, just in a more laid-back, everyday format. Everything I've ordered here has been excellent. The katsu is the standout: the batter is light and airy, never greasy, and the meat inside is perfectly tender and juicy. It's crispy without feeling heavy, and honestly a must-try. You leave feeling satisfied, not weighed down - which is saying a lot for fried food. The Korean fried chicken was another highlight - crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced and the mazemen noodles was rich and comforting without being overwhelming. DOMOTO is high-quality Japanese comfort food done right - craveable, and consistently solid. A great spot when you want something indulgent but still clean and satisfying. Service has always been excellent every time I've been heree. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

    Ebi and tenderloin katsu

    I would rate this a 10/10, perfect casual sit-down restaurant. Tucked at the end of Closter Plaza, we needed a quick bite during errands so we stopped in. Starting strong: The corn ribs app was a fun start to get our appetite going. Then... the katsu entrees blew us away. Our server let us know that the pork tenderloin comes cooked a little pink, wow it was so juicy and the panko was so light and airy. My ebi shrimp were enormous and they came with several dipping sauces--tonkatsu, tartar and sweet chili. The entrees came with a bowl of rice and a nice big pile of cabbage with a ramekin of black sesame dressing. We finished our meal with the sweet potato crème brûlée and were back out running errands in less than an hour.

    We came here for dinner around 8:45PM on a Friday. It's very modern with nice interior and clean. The service was great and the servers were very attentive and answered our questions. We ordered the pork tenderloin and the mazemen as our main courses. The mazemen was very tasty, but could've used a little more spice but overall great flavors. The pork tenderloins were so juicy and the pairings that came with it were perfect. For dessert we got the sweet potato creme brulee which we really enjoyed. Overall this was a nice dinner, a little pricey though so I would be more interested in going for their lunch specials in the future instead.

    TLDR: Sister location of DOMODOMO/Konban. Modern izakaya-ish selection. Corn ribs, pork tenderloin katsu, mazemen, spicy tuna roll, sweet potato dessert. You're welcome. For some reason I thought I had written about Domoto awhile ago. It's another offshoot from the group behind city classics DOMODOMO and Konban. The corn ribs are dusted with cheese and grilled, so satisfying and very tasty. The pork tenderloin is the katsu to get, it's cooked with a crispy outside but incredible tender in side. If you like the Korea style shrimp katsu, huge black tiger prawns. The mazemen is basically the same one from konban with the meat sauce and butter. They also make the noodles in-house here as well. The spicy tuna roll is somewhat of a cross-between a gimbap and makimono. I like the panko flakes in it with the fluffy egg and pickled radish. Easily one of the best Asian concepts in the North NJ area.

    Nice and clean when walked in. Service great foods so amazing. This restaurant 5 stars in NJ

    Domoto did not disappoint! Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly and gave good recommendations. The atmosphere is modern and casual so great for food with friends or an easy date. Tried the corn, Korean fried chicken, pork tenderloin katsu, and the hand roll set. Everything was good! Familiar Asian-based flavors with fun twists to each dish, like the cream sauce for the corn. I'd say the must try and my favorite was the katsu. The way they fry their katsu is unique! So light and crispy and the meat was really tender. Definitely would recommend!

    Ordered corn corn, mazemen, ebi katsu, chicken teriyaki don with strawberry bingsu for desserts. Food was over all good especially highly recommend mazemen and ebi katsu! The shrimp was so crispy and goes well with other sauces. I had to give 3/5 because the service was bad. The servers were rude like giving us receipts although we haven't done with our food yet and there was no one waiting outside. Ambiance was like family oriented styles. Strawberry bingsu was alright not the best.

    Joy T.

    Absolutely love the katsu here. It's light, perfectly crispy, and has that satisfying crunch without feeling heavy or greasy. The texture is spot-on and the flavor is clean and comforting--exactly what great katsu should be. Easily one of the best katsus I've had in New Jersey. Highly recommend if you're a katsu fan.

    Having lived in Los Angeles/Orange County for the past 26 years, I'm kind of a snob when it comes…read moreto Vietnamese food, Pho, in particular. I was amazed when I found this little hole-in-the-wall gem in one of my old haunts, Closter. I decided to give it a try. I got two bowls of the beef combo Pho, a single order of the regular beef Pho, the Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. These items are the easiest to judge, as most of the Vietnamese restaurants around Bergen County and the surrounding area kind of fail, choosing to cater to the population (skimping on spice, choosing western ingredients over authentic Asian ingredients, etc.). When I picked up my call-in order, the woman at the counter was very nice, though not Vietnamese and neither was the cook (not a problem at all, just an observation). She handed my order and I paid with a nice tip. I made it almost half way home when I got a call from the restaurant, and the same person told me she forgot to hand me the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and apologized. I made a u-turn and drove back to Ma Mi Eatery and picked up my drink. None of this exchange knocks any points against them, in fact, I was happy they called me. When I got home and unpacked everything, it all looked pretty authentic. I started with the combo beef Pho, adding all the toppings, plus the condiments of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha. What was missing was the fresh Thai basil! Then I read the menu and saw that they put the basil IN the soup when they serve it, so when I got home, all the basil was wilted. That's a shame because every single AAA Pho restaurant in Westminster, California serves their Pho with fresh Thai basil so customers can control how much basil they want, and to prevent wilting. That is my only real critique. Otherwise, the Pho was delicious, the broth was flavorful, and the really LOADED the soup with beef. Seriously, a lot of places in Westminster aren't that generous with brisket, but Ma Mi made my day. The Spicy Ma Mi banh mi sandwich was delicious, and loaded with all the appropriate toppings and condiments, though I wish they packed the wet ingredients (pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, jalapeño) so the bread wouldn't get soggy, which it did, slightly. The bread itself was not the best bread I've had, typically, the bread used in most Vietnamese sandwich shops have a flaky crust and airy soft bread inside. This one a bit coarse on the crust with a heavy crunch. The interior was okay though. All in all, it was a great effort. The next time I revisit my hometown, I'll be sure to stop by Ma Mi Eatery for sure.

    Today I was craving a broth or noodle dish. I've been searching through various Japanese, Korean,…read moreand Chinese spots, and honestly, there were only two places where I actually liked this kind of stew. However, this restaurant ( MIGAM) completely exceeded my expectations! Everything is made with high-quality ingredients, and they prepared my takeout order exactly as I requested. SPICY BRISKET JJAMPPONG It's a spicy dish, but since spice levels vary from place to place--and being Mexican, I'm used to spicy food--I didn't want to take any chances, so I ordered it medium spicy. They hit the nail on the head! It was absolute perfection. The broth was rich, thick, and packed with flavor--delightful in every single way. The portion size is so generous that it will easily cover two meals, and I'm sharing some with my husband. It came with four sides (banchan), including kimchi, and I can honestly say it's the best kimchi I've ever had in my life--and I've tried Korean food both in Mexico and here in the U.S. I first visited this restaurant in Tenafly over a year ago when I believe they were just starting out. Back then, I met a woman who I believe is the owner. I am so glad to see they still maintain that same phenomenal quality! They cook with such attention to detail that I no longer have to worry about looking for another place to get this kind of food. Thank you so much, blessings, and congratulations on the wonderful work and dedication you put into preparing the most delicious Korean dishes I've ever tasted. See you very soon!

It seems like they only really have two people on staff, so be patient! The staff is very nice and try their best. But especially if three or more tables are filled - food will take awhile to arrive. The menu has a lot of standard Korean fare - Korean pancakes, bibimbops, noodle soups (black bean noodles, jjampong, kalguksu) and stews (galbi tang, bulgogi stew). The seafood pancake has more veggies and seafood than pancake. I've had the galbi tang twice, which is also hearty and packed with a lot of goodies. Worth a trip if you happen to be wandering around the Tenafly area. We will likely be back.

Once your order is ready your number is called and you pick up your tray of food. There is signage in the restaurant indicating that they are self-serve and that you shouldn't tip. My girlfriend and I ordered beef soup and a seafood pancake. The food was prepared fairly quickly and they called our number to pick up the food from the counter. The seafood pancake was pretty good. Very flavorful but I felt like it was thicker and more doughy than I prefer. I would probably skip this for the next visit. The beef soup was delicious as well. It was just the right temperature and it was salty and savory enough without being overwhelming. We went on a particularly cold day so the hot soup really hit the spot. The pieces of beef in the soup were super tender too. Continuing the self-service theme there was a water dispenser and there was even a dispenser of broth at the pick up counter. I liked that broth even more than the broth in the beef soup. I slurped up several cups of it. I'd certainly come back.
