    First time here. It's in the old Kuru-Kuru Sushi location in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. Looks like minimal changes were done to the restaurant except to take out the revolving sushi bar and replacing it with tables. I came for lunch and ordered one of their combination meals. Very good taste, presentation, and service. Prices are what you expect for sushi/poke. The only downside to my meal was that I chose the same flavor for my sushi and poke. That was entirely my fault. Next time, and there will be a next time, I know better.

    Recently had lunch at Domo Cafe in Pearl Kai. This spot stands out for its fresh sashimi. The quality is consistently excellent, and you can really taste the difference in the cut and freshness of the fish. You can tell the owner takes real pride in what's being served, offering only on the best selections. No stringy cuts. A solid go-to in Pearl Kai when you want something fresh and well prepared.

    Karaage chicken came out first, great way to start our first ever meal here. It had like a yuzu flavored mayonnaise to dip it in, gave it a nice subtle accent of flavor. Definitely getting this again. I had the sashimi bowl, nice big cuts of fish. Maguro, salmon and hamachi were really good! Ikura was a bit fishy, but then again all the ikura in Hawaii is like that unless you spend a fortune on it. I would have preferred the sushi rice with a stronger vinegar flavor, but that is just my personal preference. The shoyu ramen bowl was the least favorite as the noodles were soggy, menma was a bit too crunchy and broth was just me. The ajitama egg was super though, nicely seasoned with a thick yet stll runny yolk. Service was quite quick even though every table in the restaurant was filled.

    Salmon Poke Bento

    Fast, fresh, and delicious! We're new to the area and we were extremely impressed by this place. There are tons of options but we both chose poke options and loved the soft fresh fish. The team here is very friendly and went above and beyond by recommending other great restaurants in the area. Thanks Joshua, we can't wait to come back!

    Their California was probably the best sushi in this bento.

    Probably 3.75 rounded up to 4. A step up on Genki but not as good as the neighboring Tadashi. We had an open night on the family cook squad so the "boys" decided to do pickup from Domo Cafe. Ordering was easy and we all got something different. The guys picked it up it was ready when they said it would be. I'd hit this place up again as it was okay value and you got exactly what you ordered. Parking is either fronting the business in Pearl Kai or around the lot. It's easy access.

    Custom Sushi Platter

    We ordered a takeout sushi platter from Domo Cafe and placed the order two days in advance. Everything was ready on time, beautifully put together, and soooo good! We've been here multiple times and the fish is always so fresh, which is why we keep coming back. This place never disappoints!

    We just had a wonderful lunch experience here at Domo Cafe. The menu selection is on spot! Sushi, Poke Bento plates, poke salad, udon, chicken teriyaki, shrimp tempura, etc. The food was excellent. They even had a ahi out on the counter that was getting sliced up. The staff was great and attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch here and are looking forward to coming back in near future. I highly recommend this place!!

    Just needed a place to eat. Busy day and already 2pm and nothing but coffee for the day. Domo Cafe will take care of you! Quickly seated, got my drink fast. Decided on the yuzu poke and it was out in a jiffy. Probably the freshest tasting poke Ive ever had at a restaurant. I felt so calm, content and cared for. Thanks Donmo Cafe!!!

    Aburi Sushi Platter
    Kawika V.

    Ordered dinner from Domo Café and went with the #9 Aburi Sushi Platter, which comes with 32 pieces of nigiri: seared ahi with mayo, seared salmon with mayo, and spicy tuna gunkan. At $65, this felt like a great value for the quantity and quality you're getting. Flavor-wise, the platter leans slightly on the sweeter side, likely from the drizzle of unagi sauce, but the fish quality was excellent -- fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying overall. We phone-ordered in advance and pickup was seamless. The staff continues to be kind, helpful, and efficient, which always makes the experience better. After Domo Café replaced my longtime go-to sushi spot, KuruKuru, I was a little skeptical, but this definitely delivered. I'll absolutely be back to try more items on the menu.

    Domo was really good. Everything was fresh. Nothing crazy priced. They could have more servers. They only had one server for a Friday evening and the place was packed. So he was running rampant. So the service was slow. There were a couple of runners. But the server was doing everything and doing drinks. So hopefully it was fluke. The bentos had great portions and variety. The poke bowl was good and their rolls were good too! 4 bentos and a poke bowl . $104 with tip! I know there are only 3 bentos pictured. One bento was ordered twice. Thankfully we live close and will be back.

    Hong Kong Style Iced Tea & Tempura bowl with Yuzu Shoyu Ahi.

    Located inside the Pearl Kai Center, former Kuru Kuru Location next to Coco Curry is Domo Cafe. I was craving for some sushi, but instead was captured by their Poke bowl menu. Ordered the Spicy Tempura Bowl, but instead of spicy tuna I replaced it with the Yuzu Shoyu Ahi. Let me tell you the presentation and the quality of the ingredients used surprised me. They use sashimi grade fish which is top tier and if you're not into raw fish they do serve hot dishes such as tempura and ramen. There are also lunch sets and sushi bentos as well. I also ordered a Hong Kong Style Iced tea and it was delicious. I may need to come back and try their desserts too.

    Sorry, still trying to catch up on all my reviews. But I'm so so glad we finally have a Domo Cafe on my side of the island! Their second location is in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center in the old Kuru Kuru. You really can't go wrong with the prices and how fresh the fish is. It's really close to my boyfriend's house so we've been here a few times already. And we just got a gift card for here so my mouth is already drooling to go back. There's usually always tables available when we go which is nice that we don't usually have to wait. We both got don's and it comes with miso soup. My boyfriend added uni to his with a side of shrimp tempura (his two favs!). I love that you can taste how fresh the fish is and everything is flavorful but not overpowering. The yuzu flavor is always my favorite to get with my poke. And I like that it's on sushi rice which makes it that much better. The staff is usually always very friendly and attentive. And our orders usually comes out fairly quickly. I definitely recommend you checking them out if you haven't already done so!

    We are from out of state and staying at Aulani and was recommended for their poke. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the California poke and hubby had the chicken teriyaki bowl. He said it was very good. My bowl was delicious and fresh. We did take out and it was so good. I highly recommend here.

Absolutely no regrets. The poke was the best we have ever had, so fresh, such unique flavors. The Gingah avocado is one I will remember for the rest of my life. Staff was welcoming and we felt the Aloha vibe here so it was absolutely the most perfect first stop! There is some indoor seating (about 5 chairs) and a picnic table outside.

First, the staff is always so kind, accommodating, and patient. If you're ever on the fence, they're always so willing to help guide you in the right direction to give you the best poke experience. Although they've only got a few flavors of Poke, it's perfectly enough! They give you a hefty amount of rice and poke with every bowl; I always have some left over every time and their poke flavors are always SO amazing, regardless of what combination you choose (although, I would recommend their Gingah and Spicy Shoyu together). Although I love their bowls, I would absolutely recommend getting their pound of poke deal. You can divvy up the weight of poke any way you want, so usually my husband and I get a quarter of a different flavor poke and just make our rice at home--the only downside to doing this is that you don't get the fun toppings (furikake and crunchy mochi). Also, just a disclaimer, their space is extremely small with limited bar-type seating, so plan to take your bowl/food to go if you want to be comfortable. The only reason why I'm docking 1 star is because unfortunately, some of their toppings are a little too expensive to add on for the amount that you get. Other than that, Ryder's will not disappoint--I promise! I always recommend this Poke Shop to all of our visitors and I'm not stopping now--try Ryder's out if you're in the area!

SERVICE: friendly n' fully staffed INTERIOR: one person/party can enter at a time. No dine-in; just order n' pay. EXTERIOR: in the same plaza/across from Dipped by Dee. Line forms to the right when facing store. Two benches in the line n' two tables with chairs to the left.

The potato Mac salad was a good cool down n' to cleanse the palate. I'm already wanting it all again, which means everything was Ono!
