    I haven't had ramen in a long time and was really craving it! Well this place solved my problem!! FRESH noodles wow.It was AMAZING. I was alone I just sat at the bar but the full restaurant was beautiful, they even had an area to watch the chefs cook while dining. Service was friendly and fast! I got the chicken curry ramen- to die for. I added tofu and bok choy with a side of Szechuan cucumbers. Both were spicy but the curry you can modify. I am bringing my husband back next week

    After my shoulder was feeling a lot better, I decided to drive to Domu since it is not too far. I was very fortunate to find a seat in the bar immediately. My bartender recognized me quickly, and welcomed me. After telling him about my injury, I decided to enjoy the smoked old fashioned. It was the perfect drink for me as it gave the right amount of buzz while having the smokey flavor. Plus, my bartender was so nice to give me an extra shot of what looked like to be burboun. It was so strong that I went to happyland afterwards. For my entree, I decided to try something new and went with the lobster roll. I was so happy that I did. Even though it was a small roll, it had ample amount of sweet and succulent lobster in a warm buttery bun. I savored every bite as it was as good as a high quality seafood restaurant. I was very surprised and impressed. For dessert, they had my favorite flavor of ice cream (ube), so I couldn't skip it. It had the right flavor and just perfect sweetness for me. It was the best meal at a restaurant that I had for a while. The service was amazing and the vibe was perfect. I sat at the bar with other great people. I am so sorry that I forgot my bartender's name, but he is so awesome. It's the gentleman with the earrings. Really, all of the bartenders are great, but he is always the one who makes my day very special! When it was time to pay, I was stunned that I was only charged for the lobster roll, and everything else was comped for me. Let's just say I gave a bit more extra for tip. I love Domu so much, and now I have another great entree to love. I wish they participated in magical dining, but still the prices are great for the quality you get. I plan on keeping on eating here when I need some great Japanese comfort food in the Dr Phillips area. Overall: A+

    DOMU Wings and Kyoto Mule

    This is one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I'm in Orlando area. I had a work trip down that way so I decided to stop in. Per usual, they didn't disappoint! I wanted to get something different but it's hard to go wrong with the DOMU wings. They are exceptional every time! The ramen bowls are good as well but it's so difficult to say no to the wings. I had an old fashioned to go with my meal it was good as well.

    The restaurant wasn't too crowded and the staff were great. I love how this location is decorated and its flow to the restaurant. I had the lychee boba-mosa and it was really good. The boba balls were a fun addition. To each I had the regular creamy miso which was delicious. It still was a little spicy to me but I didn't mind it. Id definitely come back and get both again.

    Amazing food. We had great service. Drinks were good and everything was reasonable and fresh!

    The bowl is smaller than a normal Ramen size bowl. Height size compared to a straw lol

    Everything was delicious. We got there at 5pm right when they opened up and sat at the bar. The bar is first come, open seat Ordered the Chicken wings, Richie rich, and Tonkotsu Happy hour drinks are available Warning, the size of the bowl is smaller than a normal ramen place or from what I am use too. Broth was very rich, noodles were delicious, and meat was tender.

    This is probably the hardest review I've ever written because I've been a fan of DOMU since their original Winter Park location. I've followed Chef Sean "Sonny" Nguyen from the beginning, and I honestly believe they serve some of the best ramen in Florida. I've recommended DOMU to countless friends over the years. Unfortunately, this isn't a review about the food. It's about how customers are treated. This past Friday, my wife, my two daughters, and I drove almost an hour to Dr. Phillips. We arrived at exactly 9:32 PM, almost 90 minutes before the posted 11:00 PM closing time, only to be greeted with a sign saying they were no longer accepting tables due to an extended waitlist. This wasn't the first time. It wasn't even the second or third. This is now the 4th or 5th time we've driven all the way there only to be turned away. What makes it even more frustrating is that the restaurant didn't appear to be overflowing with people. There were multiple empty tables visible inside, yet we were told they couldn't seat anyone else. At some point, this stops being bad luck and becomes a management problem. If demand is consistently exceeding capacity, then implement a reservation system or another predictable process. Customers shouldn't have to gamble on driving an hour with their family only to be told they can't eat. To be honest, it almost feels like maintaining an artificially long waitlist has become part of the restaurant's image. Whether that's true or not, that's certainly how it comes across after experiencing this repeatedly. Michelin recognition and great food can only take a restaurant so far. Hospitality is equally important, and repeatedly turning away loyal customers well before closing time is simply not acceptable. I sincerely hope Chef Sonny Nguyen sees this because I've supported DOMU for years and genuinely want them to succeed. But after being turned away for the fourth or fifth time, I can no longer recommend making a long drive unless you're willing to risk leaving hungry. Great food deserves great customer service. Right now, the customer experience isn't living up to the quality of the kitchen.

    Ritchie Rich Ramen

    Started my birthday weekend out with dinner at Domu. Loved the seating & atmosphere - the lighting was perfect for a dinner date, although a bit loud. Having water on the tables is a nice touch and you never have a wait to refill. We got there at opening, so no wait. We were seated and brought glasses of water immediately. To view the menu we were asked to scan a QR code - I'm not a fan since I usually have issues connecting. I asked for and was brought a paper menu. Our server was great, very attentive and since it was our first time, she happily explained every question. She even offer my husband suggestions since he's not really into ramen. A few coworkers had already recommended the Domu wings, so I knew I had to try them. I absolutely love ramen and decided on the Ritchie Rich. My husband got the Crabby Patty with save on the side since he isn't a fan of overly spicy meals. The wings came out first and they were so good. Definitely get them! The ramen soup was fabulous! I highly recommend. My husband loved his fried crab and even admitted he would go back (that's a win). Very nice dinner. If you get the chance, don't pass on Domu!!

    Dipping ramen!
    Darcy D.

    This was my first time at the Dr. Phillips location. If you know DOMU, you know they don't take reservations. The other location is always swamped. I went on a Monday night, and got seated immediately, which was amazing. We started off with the original wings, which were just as good as the other location! If you've never had the wings here, you absolutely must get them. They are the best wings I have ever had. They are so crunchy and the sauce in the sweet, salty, umami sauce. These would be my last meal. For dinner, I got the dipping Ramen. This comes out with cold noodles that you dip into a warm thick broth. It was so flavorful and exactly what I needed for a chilly night. In terms of ambience, the decor is cute. It has a very different vibe from the other location, but I still love it. If you've never tried, Domu, you are seriously missing out. This is an Orlando staple.

    Green curry
    Caroline O.

    Came around 8:30 pm on a Sunday night and there were still 6 parties ahead of us. But we got seated at 9 pm so not that bad of a wait. Must get the wings. Soooo yummy. The noodles are also freshly made and the texture was good. Just not sure if the green curry tasted like green curry and the uni mazemen could use a little more cream and uni.

    We used to really love this place, but our visit this weekend was just ok. First, they still do not take reservations so we got there about 10 mins before opening and were the first in the door (a good line formed after us). Although we were first in and first sat, we were probably 5th to have a server come to us, which really made no sense at all. We ordered the Domu wings, which are always good, but they seem to no longer give the wet towels, which was missed. In the past I'm pretty sure I was able to get the vegan broth in the Tokyo ramen (I don't eat pork and just wanted something different) but was told they do no substitutions. To be honest, my ramen was just ok. It was saltier than I remembered and I just didn't love it like I used to. My partner did enjoy his curry ramen though, and the bottomless brunch mimosas. I also ordered a small Thai tea, which was tasty and the perfect size.

    Krabby Patty
    Christine S.

    I came here for dinner a few weeks ago. It's the exact menu as the one in East End Market. The only difference is the atmosphere. This location is prettier! The wooden interior and seating gives a more upscale atmosphere, and it feels less cramped together. We came for appetizers. We got the shishito peppers, crabby patty and Cheezus. The shishito peppers are always a crowd pleaser! The crabby patty was nice! The toasted bun and fried soft shell crab went well together. The cheesus was the odd one out. It was tasty, but I wasn't expecting a pot of cheese with core. I thought it was more of an Elote style, still tasty. The server was nice, but man did he try to push the extra bread for the cheesus!

    Richie Rich Ramen Lunch  Wagyu Bolognese
    Aimee P.

    DOMU absolutely lives up to the hype best wings in Orlando and that is 10000% true. With indoor and outdoor seating! I can't believe this is my first time writing a review after coming here so many times Sometimes I literally come just for the wings and leave. The Wagyu Bolognese is TOP TIER. As a certified Wagyu girlie, I ordered it immediately and it did not disappoint. It has a little kick, but pro tip: take it home and eat it the next day the flavors are even better. My friend loved the Richie ramen, the kimchi was a bit on the spicy side, and the service is always quick. Everything here is just great

    Amazing ramen!

    Do they have outside seating?

    Some! It is limited tho, so if it's needed I would get there before prime times. They don't take reservations or call ins either so it's all just to if they're busy or not!

    Do they do reservations?

    No they do not take reservations, it's first come first serve. But trust me, it's worth it. Wait by the bar and grab a cocktail during happy hour. The old fashioned is my favorite. ENJOY!!

    Do they have a childrens menu?

    Hi Monica, we do not have a children's menu but can make a small side side of our Tokyo broth and noodles, or buttered noodles for the little ones! Hope this helps.

The service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is super cute and had a very warm ambiance (also pretty casual which was nice!). And the food... y'all I can see why everyone hypes this place up because it really is PHENOMENAL. The Richie Rich ramen is the best Ramen I have ever had. The broth was delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and I was so happy to have leftovers for the next day. The wings were the best wings I've had in a very long time or probably even ever lol (no exaggeration because if you try them, you'll totally understand and agree with me). I truly can't wait to go back and try more things from the menu!

    Wow wow wow this was everything I expected and more!…read more Domu has been on my list for a while and I don't know why it took me so long to finally get here. My friends and I dined in on Saturday night and showed up at 7PM to a two hour wait. Unfortunate, but so worth it. We headed upstairs to the neighborhood bar and got an appetizer and a drink while we waited. We only ended up having to wait maybe an hour and a half for our table at Domu. The service was insanely quick and immediately after ordering our first appetizer came within five minutes. They really know what they're doing here. Whoever was on the aux this evening, 10 out of 10. The music was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were immaculate. We ordered the cheezus, their signature wings, and the patatas bravas. I understand why they are the best way in Orlando! They were crispy and sweet and flavorful. The potatoes were delicious and the sauce that came with it paired perfectly. I believe it was topped with a crispy quinoa, which was a really nice touch. I can't really do cheese so I didn't try the cheezus, but my friends loved it and said it was delicious. Our server gave me a rundown of his favorite chicken ramens and I ended up choosing the yuzu shoyu ramen. It was nice and full of citrus. I love the eggs that come with the ramen, and he very kindly brought out another egg for me as well as a brûlée egg. I've never tried a Brulé egg in my life and it was so interesting and delicious! Basically a crème brûlée egg!! 10s across the board. I can't wait to come back for more.

We got their mocktail of the day, Nikutama Udon, and Spicy Miso Tantan Udon. The Nikutama broth was rather bland and the sliced beef was too chewy for my liking. I added the toppings on the side but still found it underwhelming overall. The Spicy Miso had much better flavor. They best thing was their mocktail, it was refreshing for a hot day! Service was mediocre, it was Saturday lunchtime so it took a little to get acknowledged/order and there was some waiting for the boxes/check too. Ambiance is superb/clean and the decor is modern. it's not the biggest restaurant but utilized the space with bench seating against the wall. I feel there are better options in the Mills50 area, but it's worth trying if you haven't since its a Michelin bib restaurant.

The hostess was also a server who never had anything to write on and had to constantly come back to us to order food and drink. I think it was an understaffed situation and not the two servers fault necessarily. Food came before cocktails, no silverware when food was delivered and then once silverware arrived, no napkins? We were in a cozy little booth which was nice for Valentine's Day. The restaurant was clean however they had the front door propped open and letting the cool air in (which was nice) but also the bugs (not so great). Now onto the good part. The food was amazing. From the curry mussels to the goat cheese and beet salad and the ramen. The ramen is so so good. We weren't in a rush for dinner but we also were not expecting it to take as long as it did or have the low level of service. Might give it another try since the food was so good but hope that they can get staffing figured out.
