“I had such a great experience at Domo Domo! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the whole experience was made even better by the amazing service. Joana was incredible, she was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. You can really tell when someone genuinely cares about their customers, and Joana definitely made us feel taken care of.

Everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be coming back. If you visit Domo Domo, I highly recommend asking for Joana, you won’t be disappointed!“

Assorted Sushi Roll Party Platter

“Since they opened, they have been consistently excellent. I truly hope they're around for many years to come. I've eaten here at least 20–30 times, and the sushi is always fresh. The rolls are well made, with just the right balance of ingredients, not overloaded with rice like you find at some other sushi restaurants.

I've tried the spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, avocado roll, and the ramen, and they have yet to disappoint. I'm wishing them continued success because they've earned it.

I gave them three stars for the atmosphere only because of the bright, white lighting. It reminds me of the lights in a dentist's office. While the restaurant is clean and inviting, I personally prefer warmer lighting to create a cozier dining experience.

One more thing really stood out to me. One evening I called to place an order, but no one answered. I called a second time and assumed they must be closed. About two minutes later, they called me back! 😀 Thanks to that, I got to enjoy sushi that night.

Thank you, and keep up the great work!“

“Called and ordered chicken hibachi, which comes with a free soda and had a ~15 min wait as they cook it fresh. The food is tasty, especially the chicken but the fried rice seemed like it was drenched it teriyaki sauce which made it kinda salty and over bearing. My suggestion to the cook would be to put less or omit it and put it on the side or something. Ill come back to try again and ask them to do that and update my review.“

“food was amazing. served at relatively quick speed. apps usually come in pairs, so if you're a party of three, don't expect three pieces (just two). sushi/specialty rolls came in 5-8 as it's listed in the menu. soy rolls they add a dollar though per roll (or sushi, i forgot), be careful. they do have a waste policy on their sign, i forgot what it was. i had some soup spilled on me as they attempted to serve it, and they didn't always notice our papers were done already, but not end of the world stuff. the food taste made up for it! it's about mid $30s on a saturday buffet in the late afternoon/early evening. bill is paid by those electronic machines they bring to your face at your table. bathroom is upstairs. water is served in paper cups. i saw another group and ourself seemed to have to manually ask for water refills otherwise. ice cream options at the day were just green tea and strawberry (which wasn't even listed in the menu) but i loved the strawberry. i would come back here.“

“Every time I come over from Germany, the Komegashi is my first dinner place in the US. Never disappointed me. The food is great, especially the rolls are stellar, and with a reservation at the window (needs calling by phone) you have a great view of lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center. Staff is super friendly and the prices are surprisingly moderate. Btw.: extensive Sake (wine-) list too.“

“First time in this place. My boyfriend is very particular with the quality of tuna he’s getting from a sushi place, and Nigiri did not disappoint. I love my Salmon sashimi, too! The place is also well situated a few steps to Exchange Place, Waterfront which is a plus. Parking spot is a little hard to find but the food made it worth it.“

“A small sushi stall in the middle of the Newport food court. Very nice workers running the place and the sushi is always very fresh! They have a decent selection of sushi and sides like seaweed salad and dumplings. I do wish it would be a little cheaper, but still greatly recommend it!“
