DOMO Café, you do NOT disappoint! Domo's Kahala location has quickly become our go-to, grab-and-go sushi joint. Although they have a clean and comfortable space for dining in, we regularly stop by after church or on the weekends for something to savor at our favorite park. Seriously, it's easy to enjoy their bowls, sushi sets, or bentos anytime and anyplace. We've got a passion for this place. Here's how this love affair started...I discovered Domo when a friend invited me for some sushi and sips at her place. I was amazed at the beautiful platter of sushi that accompanied our sake and wine. My friends are the best hosts! I devoured the bombs, nigiris and rolls (in between sips!). Everything was simply delicious! Fast forward a few months, I order a couple sushi sets to host a poolside, golden-hour birthday get together at my other friend's home. (I know, you want to be part of this squad, right?!). Anyway, using the online order system is a snap! My hubby went in to pick up the sushi and said they were slammed but our sushi sets were ready to go. This time we ordered some ikura because the hubby and my bestie are big fans. Both agree it was fresh and fantastic! And the garlic set with the flash-seared fish and a hint of mayo is a MUST-try. We also ordered a California roll for my friend's aunt who is not really a sushi fan. She delighted in several pieces and even enjoyed the nigiri from the garlic set. Total convert! After enjoying the platters and sets, we had to try the bentos and bowls. This time it's just us and the pup at the park. The bentos provide a great variety and comes with miso soup. The hubby really likes the shrimp tempura with ahi and salmon nigiri and ahi poke. It's a steal at less than $20. I'm a bowl girl myself and like the spicy tempura. The tempura is cooked crisp yet tender. The spicy ahi poke combined with the creamy crab salad and the crunchy ocean salad delights all my tastes buds. It's truly an adventure in finding the perfect bite--and there are so many in this bowl! I also love the seared salmon bowl. It is melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I add the fried onions for some texture. You know a place is top-notch when you can feel confident that anything off their menu will satisfy your cravings. Because this is a Yelp review, here are some helpful tips. For sushi platters, pre-order. The online system is simple to use. Service is fast and efficient if you're just walking in for a quick bite or to grab something to go. Parking has always been easy for us to find in the small lot in the complex where Domo is located. It's right next to Assagio's Kahala. But if you're worried about parking, I suggest ordering in advance and then just picking up. This works great during peak dining hours. If you want fresh, delicious sushi that is reasonably priced be like us and visit Domo Café. You will probably also be like us and want to go back to try more. read more

This was my dinner day 1 of my trip back home. So delicious that I ordered again on the last dinner of my trip! Spicy ahi bomb and Garlic salmon $18 - it's worth it for 8 quality pieces. The garlic salmon didn't have too much smokiness which I liked. They are not stingy when filling the inari with the spicy ahi. I did online ordering for easy pick up since the parking lot can be filled during dinner rush. read more

We ordered Domo Cafe for food delivery for an office lunch and were very happy with the order of 14 items all arriving fresh and on time. I ordered the veggie bento which consisted of inari sushi and veggie rolls cut into pieces. I was happy to see the veggie rolls included avocado which some places get cheap and fill it with cucumber carrots and lettuce. Such good flavor with cucumber, avocado, daikon, kanpyo, and lettuce. The rolls were quite filling and I ended up taking it home for dinner. Everyone was happy with their dishes and I would definitely recommend Domo Cafe for take out food delivery! read more

Domo has a variety of bentos, rolls, sushi and platters. I had the Teri chicken bento which came with Teri chicken rice,edamame,miso soup and's 2 unagi nigiri! All for a reasonable cost I even subbed the unagi with natto nigiri with no problem. The miso soup was not overly salty. My boys had their seared scallops which was equally delicious. Their platters look good too and you might be scared by the price but they are VERY generous. Parking is quick and easy and you can even put your order via DoorDash for pick up or delivery. Don't skip out on them! read more

Domo Cafe is such an underrated gem. Their spicy ahi poke bowls are always so yum, and the quality is consistent. I love that it's more on the sweeter side with unagi sauce. If I'm not ordering the poke bowl, I'll order B8 (Spicy ahi bomb & salmon) and B5 (Garlic set). I've ordered this multiple times and have never been disappointed. The fish is fresh and the flavor is amazing. Service is fast and friendly, and there's a parking lot outside. I you, domo cafe!! For the domo owners - will you ever consider bringing back the smoothies and boba? I know it's been years, but the best strawberry smoothie with boba I've had was from here. I was so sad when you guys took it off the menu. read more

The offerings are great! The fish is fresh, the selections are nice. We are partial to their Ahi poke/salmon nigiri bento. (Selection C1). We also like their hamachi kama or ahi poke salad for those who want to reduce their starch, you know, rice. Just phone in your order, whip by and pay and pick up your order. (They have never screwed up our orders. But I would still check when you pick up) Sushi/poke bentos, sushi sets, sushi rolls, udon combos and salads- a good assortment of selections Clean, limited seating inside, pleasant and efficient staff. One of our go to places when we are in the mood for seafood. read more

Fresh sushi, fish, and poke bowls next to the YMCA in Kahala. Parking available in the lot, dining available inside. Food was so fresh, I can't wait to go back. Lots of people ordering and picking up take out, so it's worth a try if you haven't stopped by. Prices are reasonable, service is quick, and casual vibes. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

My family really loves this place for a quick meal and potluck platters. It's really easy to order online and it's ready for pick up. The fish quality is great for the price. Portion sizes are good as well and not skimpy considering it is fresh fish. I usually get the poke bowl and my family has ordered sushi platters for parties. Can't go wrong either way! read more

We came here for with friends who were visiting from the mainland. They were craving poke and wanted to eat at a restaurant where we could sit down. They got poke bowls but I got the beef udon. I'm glad that there were other options if you didn't want poke. The udon was perfectly bouncy and the meat was tender. Everyone enjoyed their poke bowls and thought it was delicious. The staff was nice and friendly. read more

This small quick food stop has quality fresh poke, sushi, and udon. They make the bowls to order. The cashiers are friendly and prompt.

The food was good overall. I ordered the all-seared salmon and scallops, but both were a bit overcooked and didn't quite have that melt-in-your-mouth texture I was hoping for. The flavors were there, but the texture took away from the experience. Service and atmosphere were fine. read more

Love the seared salmon sushi from here. Good quick service. Usually can find parking in the lot out front.

Placed a takeout order for spicy ahi poke bowl. The poke was tasty , however, the ahi was very sinewy. Sadly this is not the first time that I've had sinewy pieces of ahi in my poke bowl. Would not recommend the poke bowl unless you like sinewy ahi pieces. read more

Love this place. Unfortunately the Maunakea location shut down but Kahala is just as good. The sushi is always fresh, the service is great, and it's not too busy when you go on the early end. So good read more

Accessible location, lots of photos for the menu to easily decide on what you want. Friends, clean, right off the freeway

We are so glad that this eatery is near us. This is a great location that is super convenient with adequate free parking. Their menu is pretty impressive with so many tasty options. Their sashimi is fresh and so far, we've enjoyed everything we ordered :) If you plan on calling in your order and picking up, it's very quick and easy. We especially appreciate their fast and friendly service. read more

Ordered seared salmon bowl for dinner , my daughter and I got sick. We had diarrhea, nausea , vomiting and bloating. I called nicely to let them know the next day ... and lady said " oh, it's okay , no one called " explained to her that I was calling to let them know . And she could only utter " oh.. okay" . An apology would have been nice ... but no apologies at all. Unfortunately , horrible costumer service . read more

I still enjoy the aburi lover's platter, which is about $60 and has 32 pieces of seared garlic salmon and ahi. I previously ordered two seared salmon bowls (for two people) which is about $35, so if you feel hungry, the platter is the way to go for more bang for your buck! The owner Shucong is also so, so kind and works really hard to make sure his customers have the best and freshest ingredients. read more

Since I live in town, I enjoy visiting this location primarily due to its store hours and parking. Their Chinatown location, while great, isn't open at the times I'm really craving sushi and the municipal parking lot it's next to can be a little sketchy at times. However, the Kahala location takes all of that out of the equation. Their service is fast and accurate, while maintaining a clean shop. I love their aburri sushi, but their specials are also worth noting. Overall, a solid convenience sushi spot. read more

Domo Cafe Kahala - Seared salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First visit here was on 6-20-2024. When you enter the parking lot you see the name Domo Café front and center. Tip: find a parking space to the right because their door opens around the corner. It was pretty surprising to see how busy this restaurant is with many people going in and coming out with their orders in a pretty consistent stream. Once our meal was served I could understand why they are so popular. The food looks so bright and colorful and made with great care and precision- picture perfect. They have refrigerated beverages on the far right corner. Right in front of the cashier they have a low sandwich board listing specials and even fresh fish for sale. They are equipped for handling a party of 20+ if you preorder. The 2 tables on the left are separated by a panel but can be removed to view the door opening and the additional tables on the right. There is a trash receptacle by the door to bus your table when you are done with your meal. If you are a shopper, go to KAHALA mall across the intersection then come here for a meal that will satisfy your senses: sight, taste, smell, touch ... our party was having a good time so I didn't notice if there was any background music but 4 out of 5 senses is awesome, right? Eat in or do take out, you'll be glad to have discovered this Domo Cafe. read more

I am a sushi lover and always enjoy good-quality sushi. This place is one of my favorites! I love most of all the menu and the sashimi quality is damn good read more

Love Domo Cafe!!! It was my first time to Domo's Kahala location, having been to their Chinatown location many times. Domo was able to accommodate my lunch gang. We all had a hard time deciding as there were so many tempting choices on the menu. Luckily you can customize your poke bowl by substituting sushi rice with salad for $3 extra or adding miso soup for $2. You order at the counter - everything is made to order. Food is brought to your table if dining in. I decided on the Cali Hachi poke bowl E8, after contemplating the Seared Salmon E4 and Seared Scallop E9. So glad I did as there were three thick pieces of hamachi. It was delicious!!! My lunch gang totally loved their selections. Didn't take photos as we were busy munching away lol. We can hardly wait to return! read more

Go to sushi spot for quick and consistent service. Recently been ordering online and picking up for an even quicker meal. Wish they had a few more roll option and maybe appetizers but over all their quality of fish is great. Interior is clean and has tables to eat there if you wish.

I finally came out here to try this place. I went with the E1 Mixed Poke Bowl $14.95. It came with the shoyu ahi and spicy ahi mix. The spicy ahi was topped with unagi sauce. Their fish is fresh and never frozen. I could totally taste the difference. It was smooth, firm and melted in my mouth. Two or three pieces of the ahi did have sinew, but it wasn't that bad. They gave a decent amount of fish on sushi rice, which I love. Poke just doesn't do it for me on plain white rice. I'll get the sushi rice every time if they have it. I can understand when people say that there's a language barrier. They speak limited English. However, I spoke to them in Chinese, so it was all good. I guess it helps to know a second language. read more

Domo cafe is my go to when I'm looking for reasonably priced sushi on the east side. We always order a platter whether it's just for me and my husband or for a couple of people. We usually order the premium nigiri platter which is about $70. I called in and they said it would take 30 mins. Showed up 30 mins later and the parking was really crowded but I got a stall. Went inside to pay and then had to wait about 5 mins more for the platter. My favorites are the hamachi and salmon. There is seating inside but I have never seen anyone eating inside, most people do take out. read more

Domo Cafe Kahala - Bumping on new years eve but so organized - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

More poke baby. Domo cafe is located in a small plaza with very minimal parking and is right off the freeway so it's reasonably accessible. We arrived about 7pm on a Thursday and it was fairly crowded. We ordered and the nice cashier suggested I get a mixed bowl since my friend got the seared salmon bowl. It took about 15 minutes for us to get food which was longer than I expected since it's a small restaurant with only about 6-7 tables. Nonetheless, the food was great. I should have ordered the seared salmon cuz it was incredible. Buttery and smooth with some sweeter sauce. The mixed bowl was not bad but not as good as the seared salmon. I got spicy ahi and shoyu ahi. They were fine but not something I was raving about Overall, good vibes, good food very happy read more

Lunch in Kahala, Honolulu, Hawaii... A long time ago (April 2021), I was here for a Restaurant Week Special (chirashi bowl?) that was $12.95. The Cali Salmon bowl that I had on 11-15-23 was $15.95, so prices are quite reasonable for the quality. CeCe and I were between Hawaii Kai Costco and Wholesale Unlimited at Kuono Marketplace when I suggested that we have lunch here. It was convenient with free shared parking and efficient, friendly service. The shop is spacious and clean! The air conditioning was much appreciated! We were able to dine in as there are two dining areas on each side of the restaurant. I got the Cali Salmon Bowl (E7) because it's colorful! The imitation crab salad and chunks of avocado were interesting. The fresh salmon and ahi needed no extra seasoning! I'd return again for the garlic sushi set (B5). I've had it at their Chinatown location, and it was delicious! I have also ordered a party Platter in Chinatown (because it's closer to my mom's house), but the parking is challenging. Maybe it's worth it to drive to Kahala because this location is more reliable! read more
