    This award winning ramen noodle restaurant located at the East End Market in Orlando is recognized by the Michelin Guide. They are extremely popular and operates on a first come, first served basis with no reservations. We waited in line for about a half hour before opening at 5pm. I had the Vegan Ramen $15.50. It was delicious.

    Always love coming here. We sit at the bar bc it's usually what's available, otherwise it's an hour+ wait. Plus the bar tenders are fun! Food quality never changes. Get the wings, duh. The corn is best. And all the cocktails are yummy too.

    I haven't been to Domu since Covid. I really love their wings so I got them again and they are still so yummy. I got there at 5 pm and still ended up having to wait for a table for over an hour. I was maybe 10th in line. Parking is a bit of a nightmare for this location, but I ended up finding something on the street down the way. The food was good! I really liked my ramen. I'd totally order it again. However, the pork belly was very soggy in the ramen and it was overcooked.

    In Orlando on a Monday night, this Michelin star establishment has a build your own Ramen night. So we decided to check out the hype. Domu is located at East End market so parking can get a little difficult but once the market closes, it's a tad bit easier to find parking. Domu offers outside seating, bar seating, bar seating with a kitchen view, and dining room seating. This establishment is on the smaller side for seating which can cause longer wait times, but it is so worth the wait! We got to sit at the bar seating area that gives you a view of the kitchen. We got to watch, however everything goes down in the kitchen. Our server was prompt with taking our order explaining how build your Ramen bowl night works. She reviewed the menu with us and asked if we had any questions. She was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. We started with bar drinks while we were waiting for our table. Once we were seated, we were greeted with a little bowl of hot washcloths to cleanse our hands. We ordered an appetizer, sichuan cucumber that had a little spice, but was refreshing and not too filling. Then the best part we got to build our own Ramen bowl. My base was chicken broth, noodles, which by the way are made all in-house fresh, I added scallions, roasted garlic, and corn. The other bowl had pork broth with egg, Bok choy, roasted garlic, corn. I have to tell you this was the best Ramen I have ever had anywhere.!! we completed our meal with ube ice cream topped with fruity pebbles. We got Domu wings to go, which were voted the best wings in Central Florida, and that was a 100% the truth! Domu was definitely worthy of the Michelin star! I 1000% will be back for build your own Ramen night, which is on Mondays! It's a great atmosphere, great food, great drinks, and friendly staff, why would you not want to go back?! Cheers!

    Amazing Japanese spot!! Once you enter, you are met with a huge seating area including a bar where you can only get drinks. Most people in there are waiting for a table inside the main restaurant. Once we got called back, we sat at another bar area where you can see the kitchen. Very interesting layout. We started with the famous domu wings and I seriously will be thinking about the wings until I go back. So much flavor in those things. I love that the noodles are made in house so I wanted to try the ramen of course. I got the Richie Rich ramen which was tasteful but I wish you could choose to add some spice in it. Still great though. My sister got the tonkotsu with black garlic and she almost ate the entire thing. Also got some shishito peppers and that was also just as good as everything else. I kept seeing the lychee martini being ordered to I got that and it was as good as everyone mentioned. It does have popping boba at the bottom which I loved but I know not everyone likes it so just an fyi. My sister got the Roddy pom. The place is pretty small and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes. We got there 25 minutes after opening and waited 40 minutes. The parking gets filled fast along with overflow parking being full so be prepared to find a spot.

    I have been wanting to try Domu for sometime, but was intimidated by the long wait times. We showed up at East End market early on a Friday anticipating we would be seated right away. That was not the case. The wait, by the time we got there, was 1.5 hours (and that was literally 5:15! - they open at 5!). We decided to check out their happy hour and sit at the bar instead, which we were seated pretty much right away. My husband ordered a highlight and one of our friends ordered an old-fashioned. The drink drinks were delicious and quickly made by the kind of bartender, Maddie. She took her order which consisted of both flavors of wings (the original & the green curry), cheezus, & the tokyo ramen. The appetizers came out quickly to help hold us over. The curry wings were a little spicy, but the original held up to the hype. My husband even said that they were probably his favorite wing in town. The cheezus was delicious - with a hint of lime and spice. The bread on the side was warm and soft. We got the ramen and split it amongst 4 people. It was flavorful and filling. The ambiance was hipster and buzzin'. Industrial and organized. You can even buy the kitchen staff a shot for after shift! Definitely stop here. You won't regret it

    Food was good! They were out of a lot of items which is why I'm rating it 3 stars. The kimchi and wings were my favorite. My boyfriend really enjoyed the ramen. The vibes here are fun, it was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon but we got seated immediately! Services was decent! We will definitely come back and try other items on the menu.

    I finally got to try Domu and it lived up to its reputation. I went on a Tuesday after work, which is a very busy day as they do all night happy hour. Not knowing this going in, I felt very lucky to get a seat at the busy bar! I was greeted immediately by the friendly bartenders and had great attention and service from them throughout my time there. I had the happy hour negroni, followed by a happy hour old fashioned, which were both great. I had the domu wings, which have been awarded as the best wings in Orlando. They were very crispy and delicious. I would say very similar to the twice friend wings at Hawkers. I wasn't planning to order any ramen, but the couple eating at the bar next to me ordered ramen, and it looked so good, so the bartender told me I would regret not ordering some to take home for dinner. I did, and was so glad I listened to her because it was amazing, and enough food for both dinner and lunch the next day. I can't wait to come back and try more food and drinks!

    Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening, arrived around 530. We were told it'd be about a 45-60 minute wait, we ended up getting our table after about 25m. We found the service to be reasonably fast and friendly, an overall a great experience! I was torn between a few ramen options, and ultimately went for the wagyu Sichuan option since it's a special and that flavor profile is one of my favorites, so I didn't want to potentially miss my one chance to have it. I was very happy I made that choice! The noodles had an unusual richness to them, in a good way. Soaking in the fattiness from the wagyu will do that I guess. The chili was really flavorful but not too hot, I could have definitely gone for a little more heat, but was an overall really good dish. My partner went for the egg tofu and cheezus. The egg tofu was almost like a savory flan, the onion chili crisp they used paired with it so well. Highly recommend as an appetizer. The cheezus was kind of like Mac and cheese, but corn instead of the mac. Paled in comparison to the other two dishes, but certainly not bad Overall I highly recommend this spot if you find yourself in Orlando or are local to the area. I hope I'm able to come back some day!

    From their happy hour to regular hours I love DOMU. Nothing I order is bad. Everything is so flavorful. It's hard to find good ramen when you've had some of the best in Japan. So I can attest that Domu has got it!! Some of my favorites include: - Tonkotsu spicyyyyyy - Richie Rich - Wagyu Sichuan Mazemen - Domu Wings - Lychee Martini

    Wings: Original (left) and seasonal flavor wings: sichuan hot honey (right)

    There's clearly a reason the have won so many awards (including best wings for 4 years!). The wings were everything I heard about... if not more. We ordered the original DOMU wings and also the seasonal flavor wings: sichuan hot honey! The seasonal wings were more of a dry rub and a slight touch of a hot honey. They were good but definitely cannot beat out the original wings. The original are so flavorful and I loved the kimchi butter sauce! Both wings were the perfect crispy, balanced cook. We visited around lunch time and it was poppinnnnnnn! Lots of fun brunch vibes and the staff was so friendly. Our food came out SO quickly, like less than 5 minutes after we ordered, regardless of how busy it was. I'm sad there's not a location closer to Tampa but definitely a must try in Orlando!

    Wow, four years later and I'm back. My fiance and I were craving ramen and were in the area. We usually go to the Dr. Phillps location because it's more spacious. We sat at the bar and ordered the Bees Knees and Richie Rich ramen. Shout out to our bartender, Cat for locking in another memory in our books!

    Domu is by far my favorite restaurant in Central Florida. I don't get to go as often as id like because they are sooo popular. They do not accept reservations and wait times can be extremely long especially if you have more than 2 people in your party. But if you have not gone it is a MUST TRY!!! The flavor profiles they create for their food and their drinks are unmatched. Their team is so creative. The have seasonal drink and ramen/wing specials and are constantly up adding new items to the menu. The staff is super chill and friendly. It is always good vibes. We recently went to their Wine Down Wednesday which occurs quarterly. We put our name down for a table while we enjoyed the dj outside . Our wait was just shy of 2 hours but again it is so worth it! They are always consistent and I always leave happy some of my faves are their domu daiquiri, lychee martini, kimchi butter wings, shoyu yuzu ramen and of course cheezus. This place is not over hyped. The hype is real! Go and try them !!! You won't regret it

Your best option is to come early when they open so you can have good parking and a good seat or table.
