I have a hard time believing this is the same people that created Domu. Domu is by far one of my favorite places to eat, this place did not hold a candle to them. The boneless wings were similar to what you would get frozen from a bag. The sauce does not have the depth of flavor and richness you get from Domu either. Honestly the fries also have that vibe. If you are looking for a quick bite and want Ramen this is an easy place to grab something but do not compare it to one of Orlando areas best places to eat, you will just be very disappointed.
For a fast-casual place, CHIBI Ramen is definitely a solid choice for ramen on the east side of Orlando, Florida. CHIBI Ramen is located in Waterford Lakes so parking will not be an issue. The people are friendly and the overall vibe is welcoming. I got my order to-go and when I got home, I tore into my ramen and really enjoyed it. Again, this is a fast-casual place, but i was impressed with the food and would definitely recommend CHIBI Ramen for a great meal. I will give here five stars taking into consideration that it is a fast-casual restaurant. Go check it out for yourself.
Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 After falling in love with Domu, I had to try their Chibi Ramen location. Happy to report that they also have flavorful ramen but in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere (no huge wait times like their main location). The broth is rich and well-balanced, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are always fresh and generous. You can really tell they put care into every bowl. The vibe inside is fun and casual, with cute decor and anime touches that give it a unique personality. You order at the counter and food is brought out when it's ready. When we visited the food came out very quickly. Limited menu but great alternative if you're craving Domu but don't want the huge wait.
Chibi markets itself almost like to-go, fast food, convenient ramen. So, do not expect gourmet ramen coming here. It is what it is. It is supposed to be casual and quick. And for what it is, it's solid. Portions are filling, and there is a good amount of meat and toppings. The broth isn't bad, maybe a bit too salty. Service is ordering through a kiosk, then picking your order up from the side, then taking your own bowl to the trash. There isn't much interaction with a waiter/waitress. The ambiance is very casual.
I was on the East Side of Town and decided to eat at Chibi. Chibi is located on the East Side near Waterford Lakes. They have a touch screen ordering system. I ordered their signature boneless wing bites, Egg Salad Sando to eat in the restaurant and Coconut Curry Ramen to go. The staff is super friendly and will help you with suggestions. The food was served in a short time. I enjoyed the lightness of the egg salad sando on milk bread. It was a little sweet from the bread, but a great blend with the creamy egg salad. The signature boneless wing bites are easy to eat and so flavorful. I hope you are able to stop by and check out yet another Domu Restaurant. This is part of Sonny Nguyen's Domu Dynasty. Delicious! Enjoy the Picture!
My friend Matt and I decided to stop here for lunch. I got the kids Ramen bowl for 799, and a side of rice for three dollars. I also got a soda for three dollars. I ended up spending a total of $15.00 for my meal. This was some of the best Ramen I've had. The noodles were perfect and the broth taste like chicken noodle soup but without all the extra items that you normally get in chicken noodle soup. The rice was also really yummy and very hot. Both of my food items were warm and they were not cold. No one really assisted us except the lady that got us are to go boxes. They have a little counters where you put in your order and then sit down and your order is brought to you. Ambience of Chibi Ramen- is a nice calming Ramen restaurant. It is located right next to tin & taco and bento box. It is located in the Waterford Lakes area. 10/10
We tried a second time and decided to do to go. They were quite busy with not many places to sit. The staff was quite friendly and definitely gave really good suggestions. We tried the classic chicken and a creamy chicken Ramen.
You know when you just need a few bites of something delicious and comforting, this, CHIBI Ramen is the perfect spot. We ordered Pork & Chicken Gyoza,$8.50, pan-seared chicken & pork gyozas severed with a tangy soy dipping sauce topped with sesame seeds and scallions. They are a delight. The filling is plentiful, moist and flavorful. We also ordered Kaiju Fries, $8.00, fries topped with mentaiko mayo & chibi house furikake which has sesame seeds. They are served with a wedge of lemon which we didn't understand why, but we squirted a little on them & I get it. The lemon gives it a tangy freshness. Salt, Fat & Acid is a winning combo. The only thing, is that the fries were not hot. We ordered 2 fountain Cokes, free refills. This place is small but it has six high top tables and a long table facing the window. You can eat in or order to take out. The service is efficient.
What is not to like!? This little area is like a mini quick-food restaurant row, first of all it's a very good spot with shopping, food, movies etc all in one close knit area so you can come here and do it all. The ambiance is cute and casual. I love ordering on kiosks like this because you can take your time reading what's in everything before you make a decision and I appreciate that everything can be modified because I can't have sesame seeds for example and that's always something I have to ask at the counter, but they have the button for it! I got the Chicken Teriyaki Ramen and I loved it, they also provided lemons and I squeezed those in which added a little something extra! The Chicken Bites are super yummy, very small though, I would lean more towards calling these popcorn chicken rather than bites or boneless wings because they're so little. The sauce however - VERY good! I thought there was a bit of heat to the sauce but my fiancé didn't think so, so maybe that's just me. The gyoza is chicken & pork mixed, pan fried, and so good that he got seconds! Overall 5/5 - friendly, fast, delicious, cute!
I like that we can place our order on the screen ourselves (great for introverts) and it looks great, however seating is pretty limited if you're there during dinner rush. Our food took about 10 minutes to be ready and it looked beautiful. The curry ramen was delicious and the broth had the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. The shoyu broth was also very good, but I preferred the curry. The wing bites weren't my favorite, but were a good addition since the chicken portions in the ramen are smaller than expected.
This place is great! Very clean and has a chill atmosphere. They have several ramens to choose from. I do wish they had more drink options, I think that'd elevate their menu. Overall, great food and had a great experience here. I'll definitely be returning!
Great food and quick service! If you love the dine-in locations this is the same with a smaller menu and to-go option. You can definitely still dine-in but I would love to give props on how they packed my to-go order. I felt the packing maintained the quality of the food a lot better than other places. They are also cashless, you order on a iPad and wait for your food, although the staff was still very present, sweet and helpful. Overall I felt this location in its entirety was very efficient and the food did not disappoint!
I'm not in the Waterford Lakes area very often, but when I am, CHIBI is a must! I love that I can get all my favorite flavors from DOMU in a sleek, fast-casual setting. When you walk in, you order from the self-serve kiosk which is quick and easy, and then they bring out all your food on a tray. If you're a fan of DOMU's wings, then you have to try CHIBI's signature boneless wing bites coated in the that delicious kimchi butter sauce that we all know and love. If you want the best of both worlds, my husband always gets the wing bites rice bowl which comes with a seasoned soft boiled egg. My other top picks are the Kaiju Fries and the Coconut Curry Ramen. We tried a new menu item this time around -- the Crispy Kimcheezy Onigiri. The flavor honestly wasn't my favorite, but it was fun to try something new. Onigiri seems to be a huge trend in Orlando right now. They also have some new Japanese beverages on the menu. We got the Tomomasu Peach Soda and the Calpico Mango which were both refreshing and delicious!
Food is always tasty here. Service is fairly quick most of the time. Atmosphere is fairly typical for a dine-in type of restaurant like this. That being said, if you are in the mood for some yummy ramen, this is definitely worth it! read more

The food amazing the chicken was cooked to perfection enough flavors and nice coat of sauce and the egg was too read more
This was a cute restaurant for a quick bite. It is self ordered screen where you can view the menu, order and pick up your food at the station. There are a few outdoor tables and inside seatings. It is a small establishment. The place was cute and everything came out fast. Let's talk about the food. The food here is mediocre. Noodle soup was lacking flavors. Almost tastes like pre package noodle soup you get at the Asian Market shelves. It was bland and I couldn't find the salt. Just flavorless. My daughter didn't care about hers either. It was ok to eat given the fact that it was close by, it was quick and easy and we were all tired. I was very disappointed. Did they just pour hot water over my noodles (no salt, hot oil, soy sauce, something please!). This is not a place I would care to return to. read more
Fast casual version of a sit down location I have not been to. Came on the recommendation of my son's crew. The food was pretty good and quick. I had the miso broth and it was very good. Only thing that I was not sure of is the freshness of the noodles. They seemed slightly off. Like they were reheated not totally fresh. My son got the spicy ramen and although he knew he would pay, if you know what I mean, he went for it. He said it was good. I tried the broth and it had some heat for sure. It is a walk up to a iPad order and pay then get in line. They are very fast. Protip. Parking is a bear. Narrow spots. My big a&& truck was a challenge to wedge in the spot. read more

I went to CHIBI for a quick bite. The restaurant is small, but cute inside. If you are with a group of more than 2-3, you won't have comfortable seating for conversation. You will order at a kiosk--basically they have chicken, rice bowls, and ramen. I ordered a vegan ramen dish but added on a soft boiled egg. The food was ready quickly and was really delicious. My daughter ordered a chicken bowl and she liked it. It's definitely worth another visit. read more

The ambiance is very modern with minimal Valentine's Day decoration There are two mini tablet kiosks that only accept card. The tablets allow you to choose your order with pictures attached to help. There's minimal person to person service unless you have a request apart from ordering. I ordered the Japanese Curry Ramen with Tonkatsu Pork. It's very hot with a slight sweet taste to the broth. Overall, it's very good :) read more

It's a small chill quick service place to catch up with friends or a date over a bowl of ramen. The coconut curry was packed with flavor and would recommend as it's has a mild spicy level. read more

Great food- a condensed version of the Domu restaurant but equally good. Love their chicken bites and ramen. Everything is quick order, quick serve. Staff was friendly and the place was modern and cute. Love the kiosk concept of fast food ordering. read more
Not impressed. Found the noodles flavorless and overcooked. Soup was fine but could tell it wasn't anything particularly special. I did think the half boiled egg was done well and their chicken bites are similar to what you get at their main ramen stores except boneless. The chicken is a pretty generous portion as well. Service is contactless and quite efficient. Was served quickly on a Sunday night. Seating is primarily high top but they do have charging ports at most tables which I found was a nice touch. Very casual location. They've got a lot of kitschy Japanese decor but also clean wooden fixtures and tables. Personally would not recommend this place for ramen. There are quite a few decent places but unfortunately this is just not one of them. read more
Went on a Tuesday after 5. The place was empty besides 3 other people. There is a lot of seating inside but most tables sit only two people per table. I'm sure they would let you move tables together if there's a group or just sit outside. You place your order electronically through a big tablet. There's a menu on the wall but it doesn't have everything and has no prices. It's pointless. You're better off waiting your turn and browsing the tablet menu where you place your order. First time here and I got the boneless wings bites rice bowl. It was so flavorful! I recommend it and the egg it comes with it adds a creaminess to the bowl, chefs kiss! There's also radish in it that adds a crunchy texture to it. The pork and chicken gyoza was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Kevin loved his teriyaki bowl and recommends it. I would go back to have everything again and to try the pork Katsu sando and the ramen. There's specialty bottled drinks I could have tried but stuck with a fountain drink. We paid $35 for two rice bowls, gyoza and a drink. Plus extra for the tip. read more

Love that Domu had a fast casual option now! The ramen was as delicious as the sit down locations, but it was great to experience in a more casual venue. The seating area was still comfortable for quick bite. Ordering is at kiosks so it's relatively low contact as well. read more
Came here because my girlfriend has been craving their Chicken Bites(Domus Boneless Wing Bites) and their Brava Fries which were absolutely phenomenal. The chicken bites were full of everlasting bursting flavor. They were savory but subtly sweet due to the kimchi butter sauce which is the same sauce used for the chicken wings at East End Market Domu. The Brava Fries were perfectly crunchy with loads of sauce on top as seen, the cream cheese and wasabi really took over the taste along with a slight spicy kewpie mayo taste but other then that, I enjoyed eating this side dish. As for the Katsu Sando, the cutlet was unfortunately not crispy but the the taste was 100% still there even though the portion is small. Overall, will come here again for the chicken bites and fries especially. Was amazing for side dishes. read more

I'm really picky with ramen and this place met the expectations! I had the chicken ramen and it was tasty!! I did try the one with pork and it was a bit too fatty for me but the flavor was good! Wings and fries were also fire!!! read more
We came here for the first time recently and really enjoyed our meal! Everything was great, from start to finish! When ordering, you order on a screen when you first walk in. This was great because photos were provided of each menu item, and you could customize most items too! I also thought it was great that they provided an allergen list for each menu item near the ordering screens. The food was prepared quickly and brought to us. Every worker we interacted with was very kind and helpful. There was plenty of seating options both inside and out. The overall ambiance was very nice. We also were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. We paid $35 (including tip) for everything and still had leftovers to take home with us. Definitely a great value! We were extremely pleased with the food quality and taste. Everything we ordered was so good! We are very excited to come back to try more next time. read more

Quick service ramen that's exactly that. It's quick, it's good & it gets the job done. The menu was honestly bigger than I expected serving ramen, Sando's & desserts. It's serf-order on an iPad & they do run out of ramen during busy days due to the plaza it's located in! Parking can also be a hassle but if you don't mind parking a lil farther away it isn't the end of the world. Would recommend for a quick, easy affordable meals (: broth can be a lil salty too read more
3 stars for the staff! Zero for the food. Extremely underwhelming. The Ramen tasted very fishy, almost couldn't eat it. Both of the Sandos were just basic, with not much flavor. I was so excited to try this place because I looked at the reviews and saw that it was pretty darn good. I asked several questions before ordering at the kiosk. The one item that I did not get a picture of was the chicken thigh, rice bowl. That actually was pretty delicious. Other than that, probably will not visit again. read more

First how they weren't taking Chase bank cards as a payment I literally had to used my emergency card to pay for my food. Also the place is not cleaned. Also the fountain soda machine the Coke was broken. The service was good. Food overall was okay we had the Domu Wing Bites Rice Bowl. I think my overall experience wasn't great because of the inconvenience from the start. read more

Had lunch here with a friend and we've been wanting to check this place out since it first open. I am never usually on this side of town so now it was the time to try it. Most of the items on the menu was limited and their soda machine was not working. I was very disappointed they didn't have the curry ramen. I ended up ordering the Shoyu ramen which came with miso marinated chicken in chicken broth. The soup was a bit bland and had to add some hot sauce to it. I also ordered the DOMU boneless wings bites. I enjoyed the sauce on the chicken but it was a bit dry. Plenty of seating area as it was early in the day when we had lunch. I am sure it can get crowded and there be no seating. To order you just go up to one of the kiosk and place your order. read more

Last week I was in Orlando for a friend's graduation. I was recovering from being sick & stopped by here on a whim. My friend had mentioned this place in the past and after driving all day I hadn't eaten and thought it was a good place to stop at. There's a DOMU in Jacksonville, but this place's more takeout and quick service, which is more convenient for a quick bite. I ordered the shoyu ramen with a side of wing bites and pork belly alongside some chili paste. Let me just say, the soy broth was really good and the pork belly was just *chef's kiss* the wing bites had a good amount of spice and a nice crunch. The egg in the ramen just made me feel at home for some reason, and the food and atmosphere was just great. Definitely plan on revisiting again. read more

5 stars for delicious food that delivers well! I ordered the vegan spicy miso ramen and it was wonderful, and added a brûlée'd egg just to be fancy. They package the broth separately from the rest of the ingredients- always appreciate thoughtful packaging! The wing bites were out of this world! That same Korean butter sauce as the famous Domu wings at the main location, but I liked the bites better because they're so much simpler to eat. The portion was pretty big too for an appetizer! I'll definitely be ordering to-go from here more often! read more

Domu Chibi was my first meal this year and I hope I'll have more meals with them during 2023! I liked the self order/pay option, it was quick and easy! Although the ordering system took my number I didn't get a text when the food was ready, which seemed a little misleading. The space was minimal and clean, but for whatever reason the AC was cranking and it was freezing inside--outside eating was fine but the tables were wobbly and it was super bright with no umbrellas at the tables. We were very pleased with the taste of our food items, the chicken and rice bowl was probably the winner but I love the egg salad sandwich too! Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

Is this the same company as the DOMU on East end market?
Owned by the same owners but different concept. It's counter self service ramen shop.
Coming in February from New Hampshire, I can't wait to try it out! What's the best day and time to not get caught in the long lines?
I'm going out on a limb here but might be better to find the other location first.
