Got to check out DOMU CHIBI Domu soft opening over the weekend. They open at 5 pm and I was 10 minutes early, so I went to my car to relax a bit. Came back at 5:05 and there was a line out the door... LESSON LEARNED! Lol. Ordering was done through an electronic kiosk (kind of like Wawas) so that was pretty neat. Got the TONKOTSU - Shio Pork Bone Broth, Seared Pork Belly, Seasoned Soft Boiled Egg, Wood Ear Mushroom, Scallions, Black Garlic Oil Broth was tasty. The bowl provided a good amount of noodles as well. My favorite was the pork belly, tender and succulent. They also had condiments on the wall shelf such as Hot Chili Oil, Yellow Sriracha, and other seasonings. So far it's a great start with this location! read more

Kimchi ramen was delicious! Dad got the curry and said it was delicious as well. Would be back!

Those weren't onions, they're radishes! YUM! This bowl is packed with flavor. I'm always so happy when I get my food, I have to eat some of it in the car! *drools* read more

CHIBI Ramen - Miso Chicken Rice Bowl. I took a few bites before remembering to take a pic. - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Picture this: you've been walking all day, your feet/legs are sore and you've worked up an appetite. Central Florida late-afternoon showers start to pour in. Sounds like the great opportunity for a hot bowl of ramen! DOMU Chibi, DOMU's younger brother, carries a smaller menu and quick service -- we joked this fan favorite ramen joint should be called DOMU Express! Do not be fooled, just because the smaller size does not mean the grub is any less flavorful. The Tonkotsu broth has such a rich umami flavor that makes you question how the bowl only costs $9.50! We were expecting at least $12 for ramen of this quality On top of that, the bravas fries and chicken bites make this location even better. The service was quick, and you order via a tablet at the front. Want DOMU, but want it quick? DOMU Chibi is the perfect place to enjoy ramen on a gloomy day -- unless Cup Noodles is more your thing. read more

Amazing food for a quick bite to eat! We came here after the gym on a whim and I'm so glad we did. All of our food came out super fast, and I love that you can see them working on your order as you wait. Everything was great and portions were big as well, we had leftovers to take home! We'll be back for sure! read more

3-4 star. Broth and noodles 3.5 stars. Very difficult to order using their tablet and they won't take verbal orders so you have to try and get someone to help you. generous portion. I'll try it again after learning what I liked and didn't like and then give a more detailed review. read more

A good place to stop by for a quick meal. Nothing too crazy, but good enough. Sometimes the chicken is too salty, so I recommend order eat with rice instead of having it like a snack. read more

Stopped in for takeout. I was really craving the Domu Bites so I got a couple of orders for me and my husband. The camera did not eat first this time so I don't have any photos but it was so good. If you've had the wings at any of the Domu locations then you already know what these bites are all about. I don't know what it is about the sauce, but it is soooo good. Also, the portion is so generous. You could easily split an order of these bites and then some. The ordering was really simple from the kiosk and I didn't have to wait very long for my order. They were taking COVID precautions with everyone wearing masks and the staff had gloves on as well. There were physical distancing markers on the ground as well. read more

I'm going to be that guy. And you definitely should ignore this and go yourself because I want them to be successful. There's not enough ramen places. I started with the wing bites. They are delicious! A bit spicy and it builds. The portion is huge. But there's no way I could eat a lot of this. There's something about the flavor that just says STOP after a few pieces. So with the size it's enough for like 40 people. I would never order this for myself. Next I had edamame. It has a garlic sauce on it instead of salt. Again very tasty! But after a few pods I didn't want to eat any more. It's actually heavy with the sauce which is exactly opposite of what I want. I ended with curry ramen. The curry broth is very tasty. The chicken thigh is great! The egg is good. Bamboo is well...bamboo. But I absolutely hate the noodles. Reminds me of Korean buckwheat noodles which I hated growing up. But they don't taste like ramen. You know what I mean? And I've had real ramen a few times (not just instant!) so I never ever want to eat ramen here again. I'm sorry. I know how revered Domu is but this was not my cup of ramen... read more

If you haven't been to Domu (in my opinion the best Ramen in Orlando) you've got to atleast try Domu Chibi Ramen. Chibi is the fast food version of Domu and I know that doesn't paint the sexiest picture but it's the easiest way to explain what it is. I will say it's not as good as Domu but if your looking for a Ramen fix it's sure hits the spot and if you have to have Ramen and don't want to make the trip to Domu this is the second best place to get Ramen. I had the chicken because it was highly recommend to me and I am going to have to pass this recommendation on in my review to you... It is delicious, Get The Chicken!!! Don't sleep on this place it is worth trying, but I must warn you, going back again will be very hard not to do. When I goto Orlando to visit it will be one of my food stops for sure. read more

The service: the team was hustling!! I appreciate their efforts even though it was pretty busy. They were kind and helpful even when busy. The vibe: There is a few tables outside but it's really meant to be a takeout spot, especially due to covid. There's an iPad to order on, and the food took about 10 minutes, but i had fried wings. Maybe less for just ramen. The food: SO good. Maybe the best ramen in Orlando. Loveee the wing bites and the egg salad Sando is fun added menu item you don't see in the area. I got the tonkatsu ramen, adding extra garlic options too. Broth was amazing - super flavorful. Noodles are house made so you know they're fresh with the perfect chew. read more

Yum yum! I was in the Waterford area and it was such a rainy day. I was glad to see this spot was open for some Ramen. I love the Dr.Philips location and was glad they had some of the same menu . The menu is whittled down since this is their more casual faster food location. I was sad they didn't have my usual Tokyo ramen that I usually get at the other location but everything is pretty similar and delicious. You place order at a kiosk and can customize it and pay right there. There is limited contact which makes it perfect for these crazy times. read more

Food arrived in good condition and the broth didn't leak. I've had some deliveries where the broth leaks and ruins everything but they packaged the food well. Ramen was tasty but I expected a kick with it being curry. Not the best ramen I've had but a good option for something close and quick. The chicken rice bowl has lots of flavors with the sauce they use. Chicken had a good crisp to it. Gyoza were ok. Best to eat fresh. They got soggy on the delivery and cold quickly. read more

This place doesn't need my review but I'll give it one anyway. My boyfriend is a Domu fanatic, and I don't love ramen so it's not my favorite, but obviously Domu is amazing, even to me. I LOVE Domu Chibi, because I can get the precious morsels of their wing bites as a whole meal! And the sauce that comes on it mixed with the rice and the egg - yes!!! It's delicious. Love the little finger sandwiches as well. Paired with the overall vibe - looooove the white, minimalist tiles and the pink cafeteria style trays - Domu Chibi is a favorite and it's worth the drive out to Waterford to grab it! read more

Good service. No waiters. Order by screen and they will bring it to you. Similar to the other domu but food given in cardboard bowls. No line when we went. And not reuseable dishes. Tried to be quick / efficient. Also limited with options compared to the other domus. I like the concept and I would go back. But it's a stones throw away from the real normal domu experience. I think Food is the same just taste less good in cardboard! read more

I thought that it was time for me to post a note about Domu Chibi Ramen. First, this is a chain restaurant. Why is that important knowledge? Because my wife was home and I called her and told her to go online and look over the menu and tell me what she wanted. She Googled Domu Ramen and picked an item off of the online posted menu. I searched on the touchscreen order tablet for 20 minutes before asking and got the info. This is Domu CHIBI ramen. It's a smaller offshoot of the chain's other restaurants and doesn't have the same menu. Now, on to the food. If you're seeking a bowl of healthy, fresh broth, veggies, and other custom ingredients in a broth, this is where you want to eat. My son brought me here and I wasn't expecting a lot... but I was wrong. Even for an abbreviated menu, the selections and options are overwhelming. And the staff is really friendly and helpful. They really seem to care about what they're doing. It's a smaller restaurant with hi-top tables. Also relatively clean. I liked their wall with the menu on it. I'm a big fan of Asian cuisine. And I like ramen. I've even had ramen from a cart in Fukuoka airport in Japan while changing planes. Domu Chibi Ramen surpasses my expectations. Good for you guys! Good for us, too! Keep it up! read more

Food was excellent but man does the staff lack customer service.. there was no greeting by all three co workers.. I walk up to the kiosk and place my order. During this process, I had a question about the order. I attempted to get their attention but the two cooks didn't acknowledge or potentially hear me when I asked "excuse me" twice. Followed behind me, a group of three came in and I saw the two cooks shake their heads as in my perception, seemed as if they didn't want to work.. read more

Favorite ramen and drink spot! There's a reason they have a Michelin star. The seasonal cocktails, small plates, WINGS, and inspired ramen are just the start at domu. Every one that works here is kind and personable. The energy and music is always a vibe. Perfect date spot; just be prepared to wait.. especially on a weekend. It can be over an hour wait, however put your name down and grab drinks at the bar while you wait.. or the Neighbors bar (closed tues) is upstairs and the drinks are great there too! If it's your first time you have to get the wings and shishito peppers. There cheezus is all the cheesy goodness you dream of; just get an extra loaf of bread. read more

I had my first Ramen, ordered the chicken, it was pretty good, chicken was a bit burned but will def order again and try other dishes for me and me and family Thank you read more

This is definitely a fast casual place. You put in your order on the computer and wait for your name to be called. Do not be shocked that everything comes in a paper cup or plate. The ramen was delicious and not salty at all. The cup of ramen looks small, but my noodles seemed endless until I reached the bottom! I ordered the chicken ramen and it warmed me up on a cold winter day. I also ordered the dumplings that tasted amazing. How can I forget the karage, yum! With rice and delicious daikons. The price point was right for everything. Make sure to cheap the hours open, because it seems soft opening is 5-9, I think. Parking is a little difficult because this is in a busy shopping plaza in Waterford Lakes. I expect this place will be here in the long-term. read more

I've been to the Main Domu over at East End Market and absolutely loved it, but I can't tell you how happy I am that this place is right across the street from me in Waterford. It's super cute inside, and they pump some great Ramen out at lightning speeds. Ordering here is quick and easy due to the 2 self-ordering kiosks when you walk in. Just click on what you want to order and you'll have your food within 10 minutes tops. First off, I definitely recommend the curry Ramen. It has a little bit of a kick but it's definitely the most flavorful out of all of the options. It's, without a doubt, my go-to option when I eat here. The sides here, ironically, are my favorite thing to order here. The Gyoza is light and really tasty. The Domu bites are out of this world! Almost as great as the bone-in wings at the main Domu. The bravas fries are packed with flavor and are honestly some of the best fries I've ever had. The Chicken Katsu and Egg Salad Sandos are cute little finger food sandwiches and are always a crowd pleaser. Honestly the only thing that I didn't think was a 5-star dish was the Edamame. Honestly this place is ingenious. You get the good food that Domu brings without the insane wait times and fights for tables. It's a great addition to Waterford. read more

I have yet to make it to the original Domu since moving to the area thanks to the weirdness that is 2020, but man am I thankful Chibi is right down the street. The ramen here, served quick/causal service style has beat the pants off of anything else I've had in the Orlando area so far, including Morimotos. If visiting the store, they have iPads in the front allowing you to customize your ramen or rice bowl to a T, easy to add on extras and get your broth to the ideal flavor profile while the folk's behind the bar get right to work. My favorite add ins are the black garlic oil and "brûlée your egg." The Tonkotsu and Curry broths are solid choices, and the Domu Wing Bites are perfect for an accompanying "picky" eater. When ordering to go, they keep the ramen noodles and broth separate so nothing gets soggy. read more

Our favorite go to for ramen. Great service ... kind and thoughtful staff. Consistent and reliable.

I like this place. It's fast, automated, clean and efficient without the "45-90 minute wait" for going to the other Domu location. basically, you show up, go to one of the Kiosks, order what you want, and then wait for your food. I don't doubt that there isn't as much "love" going into this Domu location, but it's incredibly fast and efficient and it doesn't suffer a drastic quality decrease. This place is more catered towards fast food/ take out and they do it very well. Please keep in mind that this is a credit card only location. Although, I'm sure the staff would appreciate your cash tips. read more

Please I need the CURRY give it back it's so good. I crave it constantly, I've even tried to make my own but nothing is as good as DOMU CHIBI CURRY RAMEN. Every single day I wake up and refresh the page but no curry. Please. I know the curry paste is hard to find but I'm living in agony with no curry in my life. Tell me what I can do to help, I will find it for you. I gotta have it again I'm so sad it's literally so good. I will not know happiness until Curry ramen is back in stock. read more

CHIBI Ramen - Sadness - Ramen Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We love being able to have some ramen and wings without the wait. Yes the atmosphere isn't the same but the food is DELICIOUS! We ordered the domu bites and ate them all on the way him. They are coated in exactly the same sauce for the full-size wings, and it was scrumptious. I hadn't had the domu wings in a few months and this just took me back to why I loved then so much. They were amazing. I ordered the chicken broth ramen (I usually order the tonkatsu ramen), and it was tasty. I added pork belly because I'm never able to finish my ramen. That way I can have some protein the second time around. My boyfriend ordered the tonkatsu ramen and it was as delicious as ever. Always a fan favorite. If you ever wanted to try Domu but can't wait the time, then try Domu chibi. It's worth it. read more

I ordered to take out. This Ramen is just too salty and not creamy. The liquid was just brown, watery and salty.

I stopped to eat their at my trip to Waterford. They had many great options, Loved the food. I just had an issue.. I ate there with some friends and while we were eating, I saw cockaroaches roaming by the windows. We ignored it. My biggest issue was that the staff has no filter and will talk about down on you while you are there. I know because I had made a mistake with my food and they were talking down on me and my friends. They should worry about the cockaroaches and not us. I really didn't appreciate that. I really liked the place I am just scared to go back over that situation. read more

One of the best ramen places I've been to! My husband is on a vegan diet for 6 months and it has been hard looking for a restaurant that has vegan options and at the same time satisfy my own food cravings but I'm so glad this place has spicy miso vegan ramen! My curry ramen was spicy and has marinated chicken with scallions, soft boiled egg and bamboo shoots. So good! The place was clean and has modern look to it. read more

Domu Chibi is a chip off the old block, serving up made-to-order ramen. Big brother, DOMU has created a tasty fast casual option in Waterford Lakes in East Orlando. Their menu options are limited compared to DOMU, but what's not limited is the quality or the portions. Order at the counter tablet and watch the magic happen! FOOD // I ordered the Spicy Vegan Ramen, the boneless chicken bites (made like their famous wings) and the kids chicken broth ramen. The flavor of the rich miso broth with the spicy vegan had a noticeable heat. The mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu cubes add great texture as we slurped up the house-made noodles. My son devoured the chicken broth ramen like it was his last meal. BUT the absolute highlight of the day were those sweet, tangy, crunchy little chicken bites of love. PLEASE no one tell me how many calories are in there are in the box of chicken bites. While I offered them to others, ultimately they were so addictive, I finished the box! Improvement Point: I prefer brothless ramen and would love to see that added to this location too! The restaurant has limited seating and is not trying to keep you there for very long. The food comes out hot, made to order and quickly. Perfect for a quick lunch stop or order from any of your favorite delivery services. Highly recommend adding this to your list of revolving lunch spots. read more

Had the curry chicken ramen. It is made with thigh meat, and it was stringy with some fat and gristle. I couldn't finish eating it. Very few vegetables in the ramen. The music was SO loud we had to yell to hear each other. Staff not friendly. For $13 buy ramen at the grocery store and add your own meat and veggies, it would be much better. I won't be back. read more

Ramen is so normal or I would even rate it as bad. As Chinese who have eaten a lot of Japanese ramen from top to bottom, ramen here is not even as good as an instant noodles. And the price is very expensive considering how many food they serve. Please avoid this restaurant if you can. read more

Love this newer location for Domu in Waterford Lakes area. The restaurant is small so not ideal for large groups, but for two it's just fine. The ordering system is all electronic so just look over the menu on the side wall first then order in the tablet. We chose to try the garlic edamame which were nicely spiced. I loved my wing bites rice bowl and the soft egg was delicious mixed in the rice. We also loved the shio ramen. So tasty! Great experience here and look forward to more. read more

Quick service ramen shop in Waterford, good food if you're looking for real ramen. Plenty of options for vegan and vegetarian meals, and for those who aren't.

Small shop but great outdoor seating, indoor for two or three people. read more

I found my place for ramen. I always get the tonkotsu bowl $9.50. The Pork broth is delish! In the menu they have some add in to your soup which is a plus for me. I like to add extra veggies to my soup. I'm not giving the 5stars because I noticed my extra beans sprouts where not that extra. I mean I paid for my extra veggies. You can also put some chili oil and white pepper to the soup. I also had the chicken wings bites and if you like sweet and spicy you gonna love them. Place is clean people are very friendly. They don't serve desserts or alcohol read more
