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.“

The salmon tataki is delicious, the Spicy Tuna Cones are an absolute must (you’ll thank me) and the desserts are a fusion of tastes I haven’t before had but now must have again. Leo is the best server, these dishes were his idea. Thank you for an amazing night DomoDomo!“

“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.“

“I’ve been living here for over 4 years, and I’ve eaten so many bad sushi rolls that I can’t even begin to describe it. Places like Samuri Sushi, Domodomo, and many others were either too fishy or had weird-tasting rolls. I had honestly given up hope of finding good sushi around here until I came across this place by chance.

This is my second time ordering from you, and I’ve finally found a decent sushi spot. I can’t tell you how happy I am. My rating for you is a perfect 10/10.

Please don’t change what you’re doing and don’t let the quality slip. Thank you!“
