A wonderful experience! The staff was extremely kind, professional and accommodating. They modified a dish to address my gluten-free, vegan dietary restrictions and it was delicious! Often, when my dishes are modified, the food is tasteless. The Agetofu was very flavorful. The restaurant decor is beautiful and stylish. The price was very reasonable. It was a pleasurable experience. We will certainly return. read more

If you're in Philly and looking for a spot with fun drinks and a chill vibe, Doma is worth a stop. The sushi itself was just okay--not bad, just nothing too memorable--but the bar absolutely makes up for it. They have a really interesting drink selection, and one of their cocktails was huge -- definitely a conversation starter and perfect for sharing or just snapping a photo. The atmosphere is relaxed, the presentation is nice, and it's a good spot if you're more in the mood for creative cocktails with some light bites on the side. If you're a drink lover looking for something different, the bar at Doma definitely shines! Parking was a bit hard to find but the views from the restaurant was really pretty too read more

On our recent trip to Philly, we ended up at a local eatery close to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at the attentive service in a typically clean Japanese-style environment with a good vibe. The food was very fresh, which is what you look for when eating sashimi. We will keep this place in mind when returning to Philly. It is also conveniently located near The Barnes/Calder Museums. read more

We ordered the regular sashimi, crunchy spicy tuna roll, and salmon avocado roll for pickup. The sashimi was very disappointing. Several pieces were poorly trimmed, with noticeable bloodlines and skin still attached which should have been addressed before serving. The fish was also tough and chewy, not the fresh, clean texture you'd expect from sashimi. The salmon avocado roll was another letdown. The avocado was visibly browned, making it seem like it was well past its prime and detracting from the overall quality of the roll. The crunchy spicy tuna roll was the only item we enjoyed. For a restaurant specializing in sushi, these are basic quality issues that shouldn't be overlooked. While one roll was good, the overall experience was disappointing especially given the price. read more

Picked up a few rolls here for dinner. They have a varied menu with Korean and Japanese entrees and street foods. They do a lot of take away in the front at the host station, and there are some tables as well to eat in. Tried spicy scallop, salmon, eel, and yellowtail rolls. Price very fair for simple rolls. The fish was pretty good and the vegetables fresh all rolled nicely within the rice. Thanks read more

This used to be my favorite sushi spot, I was gone all summer, came back and somehow it went completely down hill. Really disappointed. Increased their prices too, not sure what happened. But really disappointed. read more

This was probably my 5th time coming to Doma. I decided to have my solo early birthday dinner here on Friday, and I wasn't disappointed. The restaurant is very minimalistic, modern with clean lines. In the past, I have had the shiitake mushroom buns, and the calamari salad which are delicious. The salad is packed with fried calamari, and the buns are light with a very nice sauce that accompanies it. I tend to go for the speciality rolls, and I've always enjoyed whatever I've ordered. This visit I had a small house salad with an amazing soy/ vinegar dressing and two specialty rolls. I ordered the yakuza roll and the dragon roll which were both amazing. They were both so good, that I couldn't decide which was my favorite. The yakuza roll highlighted soft shell crab and the dragon roll highlighted eel, avocado and a delectable sauce, topped off with fish eggs. They were both amazing and I would get them again. My food was so good, my date and I decided to come back later and get some takeout. He's vegan and got two rolls. One was a vegetable roll and the other a sweet potato roll, which he enjoyed. It was my birthday, so I decided to have another yakuza roll and the fried oysters. Honestly, my two selections didn't work well as takeout, and I wouldn't suggest getting them to go. I was a little disappointed, but it won't stop me from going there in the future. Overall, this was another great food experience and I'll definitely be back in the future. read more

Love this sushi restaurant! I used to order on grubhub all the time when I lived here. Finally went inside and ate when we decided to have a Philly day. We also ordered the spicy pork gyoza.

I'm so happy I got sushi from here! The rolls were decently sized and they don't s skimp on the ingredients!! They are also very decently priced as well. Most of the rolls that I ordered were around $6 each which I say is a steal! Sushi flavor was on point and I felt very satisfied with the quality. I would definitely order from here again. Next time I will have to dine in and see if the service matches up! Recommendations: Shrimp tempura Salmon avocado read more

Fantastic neighborhood Japanese BYOB. For the sushi and rice lovers (not noodles unless in soup), they have SO MUCH to pick from and all amazing. The dinner bento boxes are fantastic for takeout (you get a little bit of everything). In the restaurant, I cannot recommend enough the spicy pork bibimbap. Imagine a blazing hot stone bowl with rice, vegetables, pork, that continues to cook and get crispy while you eat it. AH-MAZING. Other recommendations- pork gyoza (fantastic), triple spicy double, tuna, roll, island, roll, Medusa roll. Great flavor, creative, and large in size. The staff is always wonderful and so friendly, and if you do want something to drink, there is a beer store next-door (it is overpriced, but it is convenient). read more

Came last minute on a Friday night and had about 15 minutes to order. They let me bring in a few beers, and have a cork fee for wine I believe. The sashimi sundae was delicious but didn't come with wasabi or much sauce, the tempura appetizer as crispy and light. The japchae was a nice surprise, super flavorful veggies and noodles. We were served pretty quickly with appetizers. There are booth and chair options, and the rolls are pretty large and filling. The quality of the sushi and fish was awesome and the price made me happy. BYOB sushi heaven! read more

Below average sushi spot. It was not very tasty and fish did not taste fresh. Rice was overcooked and slightly mushy. My initial pair of chopsticks were chipped so I asked for a new pair- the server gave me a pair of plastic chopsticks that were stained and there were what looked like bite marks on the end. I ended up just eating the sushi with my hands. The place was empty and quiet. No other customers were there. I would not be returning. read more

I had a pleasant dining experience at Doma with a friend. We received our food promptly. I had some of the best tasting sashimi and sushi here. Staff members were polite and responsive during our visit which made our visit even more pleasant. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It's a perfect little spot to bring a date or a few friends. It's very casual. I brought my own beer with me too. read more

Doma is a hidden gem! The menu here is very expansive. Bulgogi, bao, gyoza, sushi - they've got it all and it's all presented beautifully and tastes great. My wife and I split gyoza, pork buns, the triple spicy roll, and the bulgogi and we couldn't decide which of them was our favorite because they were all so good. The service was fast, attentive, and thorough. The prices were also very reasonable and it's BYO with wine/beer stores close by. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Great ambiance. Wonderful food. Superb service. We really enjoyed the okonomyaki and bibimbap. Sushi was great and the platters were reasonably priced. I had never had tempura fried banana before and we really enjoyed it with green tea ice cream. Our server was lovely and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this cute little spot. read more

Ordered takeout from here, service was fast and food was good. We especially enjoyed the triple spicy double tuna roll. Will be ordering from here again! read more

DOMA does a great job mixing the menu between Japanese and Korean food. They have okonamiyaki which is tough to find and it's pretty tasty. This place is byob and with a beer distributor right next door it's easy to have a beer with your dinner. We had soft shell crab, miso sea bass, okonamiyaki, and spicy pork bibim bap. Everything was excellent. Very friendly service. Nice casual ambiance... sneakers and tshirts totally cool. Highly recommend. -I wish they would have served a little Kim chi with the bibim bap. That's my only criticism... still gets 5stars from me. read more

I was saved from the atrocious Gyu Kaku down the street by coming here instead. Fast service and good quality food! The only thing to note is that they don't have a bar so it's BYOB. I suggest the teriyaki salmon, it was a good portion and tasted bomb. read more

My second time here for dinner without reservations and were seated quickly. Both times were good. Started off with the crab salad. This appetizer was not worth it since it was filled with just shredded crab sticks. Ordered the spider roll and the rock & roll. Both rolls were extremely filling and delicious. The rolls were quality rolls. Service was good. read more

Ordered the chicken teriyaki. Maybe pre-frozen grilled chicken as the meat was very hard. Vegetable spring rolls a little mushy inside, pork gyoza were tasty. read more

POSITIVES: -Doma roll -$15 *delicious, instead of rice it has cucumber so it was very refreshing and low carb -Spicy scallop roll - $8 *this was my favorite roll of the evening, the scallop is fresh and silky -BYOB and staff was accommodating with ice buckets for our bottles and pouring consistently throughout dinner NEGATIVES: -Called ahead to see if we needed reservations and they said no and then when we got there they were almost full and right after we were seated there was a wait, so I'd recommend making a reservation -Website advertises 10% discount for cash payment, when we inquired they told us no, not a fan of that because they should honor it -Sesame ice cream was gritty and had ice shards, skip this! -Horrible draft from the front door, wore my coat for most of dinner read more

Doma is a slightly hard to find Japanese/Korean restaurant within walking distance to the museums on Ben Franklin Parkway. Two families with young children walked here from Franklin Institute on a gorgeous Saturday in January. There was a couple of street parking spots near the restaurant, but it appears that most patrons walk to this restaurant from the surrounding neighborhoods. A tad before noon, and the restaurant was empty when we walked in. We occupied a long table that seated about 8 (we had 4 adults and 3 children in our party). The space is a little tight as the dining area is very narrow. The food was good and reasonably priced. It's mostly Japanese with a handful of Korean dishes. I had the duk bok ki appetizer, which was prepared a little differently than it would be made traditionally in Korea. Larger rice cakes that appeared to be finished off with a bit of toasting. The boys shared a tempura udon and california roll combo, which was priced right and I really liked the broth of the udon. My bento box was also reasonably priced, but the bulgogi was a little oversauced. I opted for the roll instead of the white rice, so I had nothing to offset the the flavor. Overall, a good experience, but the restaurant could use a little more space. read more

Absolutely delicious! I ate in for dinner and ordered the bibimbap, it was so so good. Great service and the inside was cozy.

The food here is good with a variety from Japanese to Korean. Service is so very friendly. Restaurant is BYOB. However, the restaurant overall is not very clean and needs major updates. Starting from the clear chopsticks that are too worn out and is like toy chopsticks. Plates and bowls are a bit dusty and has some small particles on it. Restaurant has a lot of potential and I'm hoping there will be some improving over time. read more

Went here to get dinner at 9:00 pm on a Wednesday after getting turned down by Gyu kaku because they had no seating available and by Rose Tattoo because they apparently start closing sections of the restaurant if there aren't enough people. We came here without realizing that even here the kitchen closes at 9:15 and restaurant closes at 9:30. This is the thing that annoys me about Fairmount restaurants! Anyway, within 2 mins of looking at the menu, we ordered the spicy garlic edamame, the bibimbap roll and the triple spicy double salmon roll and my disappointment over their closing time quickly disappeared. Everything was really tasty and what I liked about the most is that their menu is pretty different from other sushi places that I have been to. Usually you get the same old rolls and apps - not here. Definitely worth a second visit! read more

I hadn't been here in a while, but places closer to me are still only offering take out, and visiting friends wanted to eat in. There are several unique appetizers on the menu, and I am glad we tried one of them. Now I just keep thinking about the tuna nachos and want to go back for more. I really didn't taste truffle in them, but I think I actually prefer it that way. The combination of the tuna puree, avocado, and sweet-spicy drizzle on the crispy, pita-like chips may have been my favorite part of the meal. Rolls are a little pricier than some other local places, but everything we ordered was fresh. We got the tys combo, rainbow roll, Alaska roll (not on the menu, but they made it), and a bibimbop roll with gochujang for dipping. An order of edamame was pretty standard and adequately but not overly salted. read more

This place does not get enough attention for the quality of food it serves. So happy I stumbled upon this restaurant and it's korean and japanese cuisine. I would say it is more japanese with a korean fusion. Their place is quaint and not too big but the food is amazing. We tried the nabeyaki udon, the spicy salmon special roll and the spider roll. The combination of seared and raw fish is delectable. They serve fresh and the service was great. The price is a little more but definitely within reason. I think this would be a nice date spot as well. I am ready to try more from this place. I highly recommend!! read more

The appetizers were 5/5. We got the shumai, fried oysters, and the takoyaki. Best shumai I've ever had! The sushi rolls (got so many rolls I can't remember) were very fresh tasting but not as flavorful as sushi I've had elsewhere. Perhaps lacking on the sauce? And the the soy sauce tasted kind of bland/watered down so that didn't help. 3/5 Service was satisfactory. Ambiance was typical. So 4/5 stars overall. I'd come back, but mostly stick to appetizers and maybe try an entree. read more

I ordered the chicken teriyaki dinner bento. It was burnt. So bad. And the spicy tuna was bland and old. I gave a 2 stars because the staff was nice but the food quality is so bad. read more

Wow, so glad I tried this place! Few tips before you go. street parking is available, but very hard to find. Might want to look up parking garages if you have a reservation, if not depends on the day if you find parking. bring some cash for tipping. Obviously it's always more appropriated, but I usually tip on the card so I felt bad that I didn't have cash at hand and they encourage cash tips (I understand why) The food was great, the service was quick and super welcoming. Our server Yuli was on top of it!!! I never seen my glass of water go under half lol. She was serving everyone inside the restaurant and did such a great job with timing in which everything came out, explaining the menu, etc. I recommend trying the Stone Pot Bi Bim Bop. I was looking at it at another table and Yuli asked if I wanted to know more. Of course I said yes and I'm glad I did because It was the highlight of everything we ordered. So good. It was my first time trying, but I will def be back. read more

This Japanese sushi restaurant is great for date night! It has a clean and modern vibe and slightly dim lighting. You must get the special sushi rolls if you go here. The naked salmon roll was my favorite! The katsu that we ordered was very large and tasted decent, but I wish it was more crunchy outside and juicy inside. Most things on the menu are on the pricier side but that is what I expect from a sushi restaurant in Philadelphia. It is also BYOB, my fav! read more

It's honestly quite disconcerting that it took me over two years to come back to Doma. But let me tell you how we arrived to this point. About two weeks I had a severe hankering for sushi. SEVERE. I hadn't stopped envisioning eating it for straight up two weeks. My friend came here the other night and got the sushi nachos and she told me about them. And that was game over. So anyway that's how I got to this point last night. I like their online reservation system. Super easy and convenient to make a ressy. You probably don't need one but better safe than sorry. The vibes were super quiet and clean and intimate and dimly lit. Quite romantic, so great for a date night, but also they can accommodate larger groups. I love that it's BYOB and there's no corking fee! The nachos lived up to their expectations. The chips were definitely made in-house, you could just tell. There were avocado and onions and tuna on the side. Amazing. There were also sweet and spicy sauces on top as well - I love that flavor combo. Flavor town baby!!! The rolls were great. We got three each, and really went in! I got a specialty - the Medusa roll which I'll probably get again and then a classic spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. There's a huge selection. You'll definitely be able to find something you like. It's a little pricier than other sushi spots around, but I will pay a little extra for the quality and A+ service. Wait staff was all super friendly here and our water glass was never empty. You know that's important to me. Highly recommend! read more

Went out with plans to go to a carefully searched out restaurant that we sadly discovered was closed to dine in. On the brightside this was nearby as we had already payed for parking. The reviews weren't helpful because "everything is good" and the "service is great" finally I found a review that mentioned specific rolls. I got the scallop one and the naked tuna. Wow. Wow. Wow. So good. And for real the service? PHENOMENAL. Run don't walk to this amazing place! read more

We ate at Doma for lunch one day. It is a typical sushi place with an average assortment of stuff. The miso soup was fine. And I got the salmon poke bowl, which had a pile of nice silky salmon in the center, surrounded by some veggies and mangos. It was also fine but nothing super exceptional. This would be a fine stop if you just needed a quick bite, but there are definitely better sushi joints out there too. read more

Before I even comment on the food, I have to say the workers here are SO NICE. The service here is how service should be at every restaurant. They are genuine happy to have you and to make you as comfortable as possible. They suggested some recommendations, were open to seating suggestions, they let us customize our sushi if we wanted, and they were helpful at explaining what was in the different rolls. I've been here a few times and every person I'm with has pointed out how great the service on. Now moving on the food, this is good sushi. I've had pricey fresh sushi, cheap, sushi, Whole Foods sushi, shoprite sushi...I've had it it. You can tell they put effort into every tool, and the fish is fresh. Not straight out of the ocean fresh, but fresh like sushi should be. The fancier rolls are so fun and the flavors go so well together. This is my new go to place by my apartment! read more

With so much variety in Philly we don't often order from the same place multiple times. However this place is amazing. Every roll is fresh whether in the restaurant or at home. The service is so friendly which is a refreshing change for normal Philly service. We love both the in person experience and takeout. So much variety in the menu. BYOB read more

Many years later and this place is still delicious, if anything better than I remember! Came with my boyfriend for a Franklin Institute lunch break on a hot summer Saturday. They quickly seated us in the clean restaurant. The waiter was quick to bring us waters. We ordered the lunch special of 2 rolls for $9.95 and a house salad ($6) to share. I was pleasantly surprised with the salad! I'm not big veggie eater and this was actually a tummy salad! The apples really made the green delicious! And the salad was more than plenty for us to share. My boyfriend is come Seattle -- land of fresh fish and good sushi. He even said the sushi was good. Especially the salmon avocado. They do not skimp out on the amount of fish they pack into the rolls. We were both satisfied and happy with our meal. Will definitely recommend anybody to Doma anyway! read more

Doma is a mixed of Korean and Japanese dishes. I ordered the Tomago, Salmon Belly, Tuna Belly, and Otoro. It was kinda pricey for the size of my order but the quality was too notch. If you want a higher grade of sushi, try the Otoro. The tuna and salmon belly is a more cost effective to cut of sashimi compared to the Otoro. The place is BYOB so bring some drinks and friends and make memorable moments. The area outside is relax and low key. Inside, it had a nice well decorated and lite atmosphere. There is limited seating so plan ahead if you have a big group. Overall, this place was good and nice to bring friends and chill. read more
