Where has Domo Kitchen been all my life... Domo is a family-owned and quaint Chinese restaurant in Kearny Mesa (fairly close to the freeway). The food is phenomenal. Not only because of its freshness, but you can for sure feel the authenticity and love they pour into their food. I tried: Salt and pepper chicken wings (10/10), gyoza (9/10), Lemon roll (10/10), Mongolian beef (10/10), Stir Fry Eggplant (10/10 & crowd favorite), Fried Rice with Chinese sausage and shrimp (10/10). Service was top notch as well. read more

Excellent service! A+++ Very welcoming and accommodating restaurant. I got a dinner sized chicken teriyaki. It came with a lot of vegetables which was great . It definitely was not authentic teriyaki, if I hadn't ordered it, I would have not guessed it was., but it was very tasty and very addicting so I ended up scarfing everything up. My husband ordered the War wonton soup, he said it was ok- he could taste some added sweetness in it, that he didn't like. But he liked the crunchies that were served alongside . Again , the service was great throughout. read more

This is by far one of our favorite restaurants in the area. This mom-and-pop (or rather, mom-and-daughter) gem serves delicious Chinese food. Our favorite dishes are the chicken lettuce wraps, Domo pan fried noodles, and Mongolian beef. Our extra picky son also loves the dumpling soup. Service is always excellent and fast whether you eat in or take out- we usually do take out. The restaurant's ambiance is unpretentious but in a good way where you feel like part of the family dining in. We are so happy to have this restaurant as part of our regular rotation and highly recommend it. read more

Meet a friend here for lunch since it was in between our two houses. The friendly owner and her daughter run this place. We ordered the shrimp lo mein dinner portion since it was only $2-3 more than the smaller lunch one. It was quite good! My friend also ordered the sashimi dish. read more

Pure nostalgic food joy! San Diego food lovers, this place deserves your attention. Domo Kitchen serves both sushi and Chinese food, specifically the kind of Chinese food I grew up eating... lo mien, kung pao, Singapore rice noodles, General Tso's chicken. And they do it at a level you simply need to try. There are countless places, a few chains included, that make the 'Meh' version of this food. But don't let that fool you. Domo Kitchen is in a different class. The incredibly friendly folks who run Domo make everything fresh and with real care. Their Singapore rice noodles are sooo satisfying... deep flavor, beautiful wok sear that you can taste in every bite. They peel fresh oranges every day for their bright, vibrant orange sauce. Fried items are lightly breaded and juicy, not heavily battered lumps. My wife really enjoyed their California hand roll, which was quite large. And we both loved the Tiger roll. Great food. Awesome service. Nothing but praise. Don't sleep on this low key champ of a restaurant. We can't wait to go back! read more

Food and service were great, but very small chicken portions since they slice it so thin. Will order extra chicken next time.

Domo Kitchen is a longtime Asian eatery located in the Ruffin Village of Kearny Mesa. I was running errands nearby and wanted to give them a try after driving past the business many times over the years. The dining room was empty when I arrived which wasn't a good sign. There were about twelve tables for seating, however at least four of them were filled with all kinds of clutter. They were being used as de facto storage space. That along with the marquee sign above the suite being only half illuminated gave a bad initial impression. A two-sided menu sheet listed the Chinese cuisine while a paper order slip showed the sushi offerings. There were no accompanying menu photos, only a brief description of each item on the back of the slip. The Cut Rolls were discounted by 40% while the Special Rolls were 20% off. I wish places would just list the regular price without inflating them and offering a discount to give the illusion that it's a good deal. I picked two Special Rolls (Hawaiian, Spanish) as part of my meal. The Hawaiian was made up of imitation crab, avocado, cucumber, spicy tuna, green onion, sesame seeds, and ponzu sauce. I am not sure why it was named 'Hawaiian' as there was no component that reflected Hawaii. The roll was strangely cut into 11 segments instead of an even eight or ten. That made for the thinnest pieces I have ever experienced. The Spanish consisted of imitation crab, salmon, cucumber, cilantro, green onion, lemon, and ponzu sauce. This roll was cut into ten pieces. Both rolls were pretty ordinary. I also selected two hand rolls... Eel and Spicy Scallop. The eel was the best item of the evening. The scallops were drenched with hot sauce which wasn't how I envisioned this roll to be made. The protein usually has the spicy component blended into the mix. The service was acceptable, but what led to the downgraded rating was the aspects I described in the first paragraph. It made me feel like the owners didn't care much about the appearance of Domo Kitchen. read more

Ordered to go so can't speak on the service except that it was done faster than it said it would be available online. The sushi was very good. I love that they have Chinese in addition to sushi here. We got both and they did not disappoint. I was a patient at the hospital next door and we ordered online. My boyfriend walked right over and picked it up to bring it back to my hospital room. Such a nice break from hospital food! Definitely recommend to try this spot. read more

Accommodated a large group of us and gave us amazing service and really good food. I'm Asian and this is legit Chinese food. You have to try the crispy beef. Most places don't get it right, too much batter or sauce that's too rich and thick. They executed this dish very very well. Light and crispy, so good I had to order it twice. A double plus is that this restaurant isn't located on Convoy where there's no parking and unused bike lanes. read more

This place is definitely underrated! I'm surprised there weren't more people eating here! My fiance and I came here for our Wednesdate. It was EMPTY! I'm a little mad for them because the food, the service, EVERYTHING, was amazing, but they didn't have many customers. We ordered the cream cheese wontons, the walnut shrimp, and the vegetable fried rice. All the dishes were AMAZING. They all came out so fast as well. The restaurant itself felt very homey. It feels like a family own restaurant but I could be wrong. We'd come back again to try their sushi and get the cream cheese wontons again! This place is definitely going to be one of our go-to dinner spots. read more

Love their Mongolia Beef! Great for work potlucks! I would call day in advance for tray of food! I am a customer for now!

This place is outstanding. The food is top notch. Everything is fresh and extremely flavorful. The sesame chicken is delightful. It is very clear they marinate, then season, then hand dip all the chicken, the mix with an outstandingly delicious sauce. The Szechuan eggplant is a mix of a ton of eggplant and other veggies (most places skimp on the eggplant). Noodle dishes are spot on. The service Is so friendly as well. Definitely hits the top of our list when we need tasty, fresh, dependable food! read more

Service was wonderful, but sushi ingredients were older and dry. Ordered one roll: rice was drier, salmon was flavorless, crab was flavorless. Abundant strip mall parking for free. read more

This place seems underrated! We came in and it was completely empty. We were greeted by the nice waitress and she was very patient as we took our time to go over their extensive menu. While we were looking over the menu a man did come in and placed a to-go order and he sounded like a regular. They have specials on their menu items but like everyone said, with the prices of their items and the discount, it comes out to the same price as any other sushi spots. We ordered a total of 13 items which included rolls, nigiris, sashimi, hot entrees, and appetizers. Honestly all were really good. I love how they have the mix of sushi and Chinese food. My husband thought there was too much rice on the rolls but I thought they were fine. I would love to come back to try more rolls, hot dishes, and especially their lunch menu! read more

So far I've been here twice and each time has been memorable. The nice lady who greets us upon entering seems to know all of her customers. She remembers us too and that brings a smile to my face. First visit we tried several sushi rolls, chicken wings, kung pao combo and hot jasmine tea. The waitress was very helpful with suggestions and made us laugh with her honesty. Loved the red kung pao sauce, the seasoning on the chicken and the jasmine tea. Second visit we tried pork pot stickers, won ton soup, more sushi rolls (Hawaiian and salmon) and plum wine. Loved the dipping sauce for the potstickers, the broth in the soup and the spicy tuna on top of my Hawaiian roll. What I like about the sushi roll menu is they list all the ingredients for each roll. That way it makes it easier for me to pick out which one I think I'll like the best. They do to go orders as well and seem to get quite a few people picking up orders. We've enjoyed our meals here and will be back for sure! A Kind Note: I'm not gonna take away stars just because they serve most of their food in plastic containers or to go box's. And I'm not gonna take away stars just because they don't have ice. They do have refrigerated beverages. read more

Called in to place an order for pickup around 7:45pm, and didn't realize they closed at 8pm. The woman on the phone said they could still take my order even being 15 minutes before closing. This was our first time ordering from Domo Kitchen, and we really enjoyed our takeout. The portions were large and flavorful. We will definitely be ordering here again!

Domo has the best lunch specials with plenty of food to share. My co workers and I like to go and order a few specials and share. The workers there are the sweetest nicest people, always warm and welcoming. The inside doesn't have a ton of seating but it's worth the visit. Their sushi is very fresh as well. read more

We ordered 5 sushi's to go and there was so much food. However, the rolls were packed with a lot of imitation crab, but would have preferred a happy balance of vegetables and crab. Service was in and out since I was picking up and didn't really experience the ambiance due to not dining there. read more

Stumbled across Domo when I was looking for a quick and easy meal to drown my traffic court woes that I could take to the beach where I was meeting a friend. I ended up getting the beef chow mein lunch special and it was everything I was craving, thick noodles with just the right amount of sauce and savory flavor, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. Oh and the girl who helped me was the coolest and we got to talking about BTS after I complimented her mugshots of BTS mug haha. I will definitely stop here again for a well-priced, yummy meal, with a side of ARMY pride :P read more

I ordered to go so I received standard "to-go" service. Honestly I am used to Chinese food places where there's "chicken bits and pieces " but here I could actually tell it was quality pieces of chicken! When I opened the tray of chicken the steam from the peppers made me cough! The meal comes with a medium side of rice. It hits the spiz-ot if you're looking for a good plate of General Tsos chicken! read more

Mom was in the hospital for a bit and I needed somewhere to eat lunch every day. There was a nearby strip mall and luckily Domo Kitchen was there - Chinese food and sushi - I went with sushi both times I ate there - for some reason the sushi was always discounted - I wasn't arguing - the spicy scallop hand roll was perfection - and the nigiri was all fresh and delicious - the restaurant was clean, the bathroom was clean, the hostess/waitress was very friendly, as were the cooks and the sushi chef - thoroughly enjoyable lunch break away from the hospital read more

I can't say enough kind things about this place. I ordered mixed vegetables with chicken and white sauce. And also aside of egg drop soup. It came with a bag of crispy wontons, everything was beyond delicious. Not only was the food stellar, but the service was so friendly. I ordered my food online, and unfortunately they are trying to stop using a certain online service. So when I got there my food was not ready. I can't even explain how quickly they got my food ready and out to me. They apologize, and made sure that everything was perfect. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot I cannot recommend it enough. read more

We have traditionally ordered take out and our favorites are the Sweet/Sour Pork, Honey Walnut Shrimp and BBQ Beef and Broccoli. Just had the chance to do a fun family dinner (6 people) at the restaurant and it was outstanding. The owners are very friendly, fun and really provide excellent service. Love this place! read more

Good service, good food. We initially had plans to go to Fortunate Son Chinese in North Park but after we arrived and were told it was a 2 hour wait at 5:15p.m., we found Domo kitchen with a respectable 4.6 stars and over 300 reviews on Yelp. They did not disappoint. After driving the ten minutes to Domo Kitchen from Fortunate Son Chinese, we walked right in and were immediately seated. The staff was polite and attentive. Though we went for Chinese food, we were happy to see offerings of sushi, as well. I was a little skeptical about mixing two different styles of food at one restaurant, but the Alaskan roll and the salmon sashimi were both outstanding. Super fresh salmon, delicious! We also had the moo goo gai pan, broccoli beef, orange chicken, chicken fried rice, white rice, spicy edamame , miso soup, bbq pork appetizer, and vegetable lo mein. They also carry coke products that came in 16oz bottles which was a plus. The fried rice and moo goo gai pan could have used a little salt and pepper, but we added that at the table so no big deal. The ambiance is more like an old school Chinese restaurant, rather than a plush place like North Park's Fortunate Son Chinese restaurant, but because the food and service were on point we weren't too critical about it. If they were to fancy the place up a bit they would be unstoppable. I would also probably change the glasses to glass instead of pizza restaurant hard restaurant style and better quality one-time use chopsticks, but again, the good food and the good service allowed for allowances for these simple faults. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will go again. read more

TL;DR (+) cream cheese wontons are good! (-) Spanish roll is ok I had the Spanish roll and cream cheese wontons! The salmon on the Spanish roll was really fresh and delicious! But it didn't really taste cohesive with the crab and ponzu sauce. And each time I picked up the sushi with my chopsticks, the whole roll would fall apart. The cream cheese wontons were amazing! The ratio of the wrapper to cream cheese was perfect! Definitely more balanced with lots of wrapper and less cream cheese. The plum sauce was really sweet and complimented it well. I had them to go and it was still crispy almost over an hour later, highly recommend! read more
