    The place looks nice, the food is decent, but the price is salty. Very salty. Although I wasn't particularly impressed by their dishes, one of my friends swears they have the best Chirashi in town. So maybe it's just my own particular taste. Regardless, expect the usual business during peak dinner times, but even on Saturday evening when I came, it wasn't particularly crowded. They do seem to get reservations for the outside sitting, so keep that in mind if you'd like that.

    Spicy tuna & black pearl

    Was pleasantly surprised by this place. The service was friendly, and they allow dogs; outside of course. My group of 5 + 2 dogs needed seating, which they were able to accommodate their cozy seating right by the front door. Fortunately they have heaters running outside, so that was nice. We ordered 3 rolls - spicy tuna (5 pcs), black pearl (8 pcs), crunchy California (8-9 pcs for $15). The rolls were pretty well balanced with ingredients. Spicy tuna was a bit, but surprisingly, their crunchy California was the best. Fried absolutely perfectly with whatever batter they use, and inserted with real crab - not imitation! Anyway, enjoyed this place for what it was. It's not a large restaurant, nor do they have a large menu, but the taste was good and we enjoyed the service from our nice waiters.

    I have come to this restaurant many times with friends or on date nights for dinner. It's a cute, intimate spot with some indoor and outdoor seating. If you come early enough, there usually isn't a wait. The nigiri and rolls here are pretty good, portion sizes are appropriate and prices are normal. Service is quick. If you're looking for a casual, go to sushi spot to satisfy your cravings in the Hayes Valley area, I'd recommend giving Domo a try!

    Black pearl

    Domo was a great experience for my friend and I! The outdoor seating was fine in 60-degree weather with the heat lamps. We came at 6PM and there was already a waitlist for indoor seating. What we ordered: + Black Pearl [4.5/5]: Great great umami roll. I think it could have some more depth like acidity or saltiness, but the black pearl roll is a great mouthfeel of fatty fish and caviar. + Castro Roll [3.5/5]: An average roll. + Poke Tacos [5/5]: HIGHLY recommend these. Super great portion for the price. Really delicious flavor. I think the ratio of fish to everything else is very well-balanced. Each bite has a great ratio of crunchy seaweed to a mouthful of fish to that umami avocado and sauce. I would 100% order these again as an appetizer. I would definitely come try again! The quality was pretty good, though nothing in particular blew me away except for the poke tacos. :)

    Great neighborhood sushi spot with great service. Came in right before last call and ordered the California crab roll and a spicy tuna roll. The sushi taste super fresh and the the prices are really fair. Great spot to swing by and have a couple rolls and roll on with your day. For two rolls and a bowl of miso was $35. They also have specials that are hand written on the glass wall inside with other options that aren't in the menu. It's not a very large restaurant so seating can be limited if it does get busy but the inside is very clean.

    Tried this place for the first time and I loved it! I came on a Monday night at 7pm, so getting a seat wasn't a problem. It's a smaller place though so that's something to keep in mind for a day that might be busier. The service was very attentive and friendly. I'll always order salmon collar if I see it on a menu and this one was huge! It's felt like a whole salmon fillet along with the collar. The black pearl roll was my favorite. It had a good seared flavor and the dollop of truffle pate on top wasn't overwhelming. The jalapeño hamachi was also a solid choice. I'd pass on the zesty salmon tempura roll next time, but I'm also not the biggest fan of shrimp tempura in general. I'll definitely come back here. I loved the quaint atmosphere and the generous amount of fish given in each dish.

    such a cute date spot. it's soo romantic. the seating outside r all benches facing the road and they have a heat lamp above every single bench. also u can ask for a blanket, they'll provide one to keep u extra toasty. now onto the food. i'm impressed by the ratio of yuzu in some of the dishes we ordered. it worked wonders with the salmon citron and hamachi crudo (OUR FAV) i can't stop thinking about it!!! and the black pearl (scallop + truffle another heavenly pairing) also had that hint of citron that never once overpowered the fish even tho u can taste it clear as day workers there are also attentive and personable, i so so recommend!

    Not the best tasting sushi, but the cute space and ambience definitely deserve recognition. Being in Hayes Valley, a prime location, they still manage to offer reasonably priced sushi. The rolls are quite large and filling, which is nice. That said, nothing really stood out as special. Even the Castro Roll, w/ a unique name, is basically just a rainbow roll. Still, it's a great spot for a cute outing or a quick stop for bare minimum sushi rolls.

    Negi Toro Roll
    Ashley S.

    This is a very small restaurant with a simple menu. We went on a Saturday evening, and the wait was surprisingly only about 20 minutes. The service was okay: slightly rushed, but understandable given the small space and quick turnover. We started with the Negi Toro Roll, which was pretty standard. The Black Pearl Roll caught our eye with its interesting description, and we were told it tends to be hit or miss. Personally, I thought it sounded better than it actually tasted. The flavors don't go that well together. The Sunkis Roll was better, because I liked the combination of salmon and lemon. The real highlight of the meal was the Poke Tacos. We literally debated ordering another round. They come as a pair, but you can add a third if you're dining with an odd number of people. Each taco is a crispy tempura seaweed shell topped with poke and a generous heap of seaweed salad. I'd come back for the poke tacos alone, but otherwise, the food didn't leave a strong impression.

    A cute place in hayes valley that has seafood options. It's a small place but has a good options and is in a good location.

    Cozy sushi spot with plenty of space right in the heart of Hayes Valley. I'm not a huge sushi lover, but I liked this this place wasn't just mood lighting and a high price tag. They had a good mix of rolls, and I left pretty satisfied after a dinner with 3 friends. They were pretty busy but there wasn't a wait on a Thursday night. Would come back and try more rolls!

    Needed a quick bite and came to Domo as I heard they had ties to a very famous influencer's father. Not sure what I was expecting, but thought it would be more than low-quality nigiri. The service was good as they were attentive and seated me very fast. There is very limited seating. I opted into sitting at the bar as it was only available for parties of 1. The yuzu sashimi was good, but the nigiris were sub-par or low quality to my standard. It wasn't that great in my honest opinion. The sushi tacos were loaded, but just seemed like it was put together with a bunch of sauce.

    Crunchy California Roll and Domo Roll
    Nanase T.

    My boyfriend and I were in the mood for sushi after shopping in Hayes Valley, and we discovered Domo on Yelp. Due to their limited seating, they don't take reservations. We arrived on a Saturday around 7 PM and found the place packed, with a party ahead of us and maybe one table available outside. We opted for inside seating as it was chilly outside (but there were heaters outside FYI). We were seated within ~15 minutes at a table. There were ~4 tables and some bar seating inside. We quickly fell in love with the cozy, intimate ambiance inside. The tables were spaced out nicely, and the table size was perfect for all the dishes we ordered--no issues moving anything around. The staff was friendly. Here is our order for the night: Large Sapporo Beer and Umeshu (plum wine): I was thrilled to see umeshu on the menu, as it is my favorite alcoholic drink! I am used to having it with club soda, so it definitely felt strong, but it was still smooth and tasty. Miso Soup: Great appetizer. Edamame: Comes in a very generous portion, perfect for sharing. Crunchy California Roll and Domo Roll: These rolls were good but, unfortunately, a little underwhelming. They were tasty, but not incredible. Omakase (4pc): This was the highlight of the meal! The nigiris were top-notch and the fish was very fresh. We'll definitely be ordering more nigiris on our next visit! Our meal was the perfect amount of food to satisfy us. The total, before tip, was $104, which I think is a reasonable price for the quality of the food.

    TLDR: When you're at the heart of Japan town, you have to embody the nation in all the good ways…read more Kui Shin Bo, embodied the nation's backbone of being average to above average in multiple things. This place covers many of the basics (rolls, ramen, tempura, yakisoba, teriyaki, unagi). I really only see it as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. It doesn't mean that this restaurant has no place in Japantown, but it doesn't inspire confidence when it's located in an isolated region of the mall with less foot traffic, while its competition on the other wing has lines longer than the location's capacity. Black Garlic Ramen: It's always a mystery to me how black garlic improves a bowl of ramen. My expectations, however, remain the same. How thick is the broth? How clean is the broth when consumed? What is the quality of the chashu? Do I get enough noodles? I think the best part of this meal was the amount of soup they give, and the chashu was very good. It sucks that the chashu is tiny, but they did very well. I feel that the noodles were those wholesale ramen noodles that were portioned, and the garnish was fine. The broth was okay, 3.5-ish stars in terms of taste. Dynamite Roll and Volcano Roll: I think it's a problem if I have trouble identifying which is which. I can tell you that both are good enough to try, and the Volcano Roll comes with raw fish. Both come with a good crunch and a good sauce, but like most Japanese places that lean heavily into the rolls, good luck finding out what you ordered and what you just ate. Ambiance: Very classic Japanese. They're really at their best to convince you that you're in Japan. It may get tight during a busy day though. Service: Standard. You order, your water gets refilled, you pay, you leave.

If there isn't something on the conveyer, you can always ask for it. They were cutting up real, whole fish so you know it's fresh at least. Service was great, super quick and the "chefs" were responsive. The menu is nice, with lots of drinks to choose from as well. Cuts were not authentic but still meaty. Pricing can be on the higher side, depending on what you like. But others have mentioned it can be cheap as you like or expensive as you like at places like these, as they are priced essentially by the choice of fish and how it's prepared. Atmosphere was lively for a weekend night, but I have been here during the week as well when it's less busy. It can be tight if it's full (get to know your neighbor!) but it's more than adequate. Always a fun experience and I have , and will be back.

The location is unusual, as the restaurant is open to the mall, which is a bit disruptive. I came for the 8:30pm seating, but the previous guests were still finishing, so I had to wait until 8:45pm. The staff did not seem very concerned. Bad start. You could also hear the mall cleaning crew during dinner, which was not very pleasant. I ordered the 24-item Mizuho Menu, as did all the other guests. There were 5 guests in total (the restaurant can seat up to 8 people). Here is the menu I was served at the end of May: 1. starter: ama ebi cracker with caviar, pickled lotus root with shaved bonito, crab salad 2. nigiri 4x: isaki, iwana, myabi tai, kanpachi 3. sashimi: chutoro, hotate with caviar, umi masu, sawada 4. nigiri 8x: hirame, suzuki, inada, kurodai, shima aji, kamasu, otoro, aged A5 wagyu, kinmedai 5. hot dish: miso soup with inari and shrimp head, hokkaido uni with marinated ikura, black cod, umi masu with raw yellow egg and caviar 6. dessert: matcha ice cream with strawberry Frankly, the food was excellent. The starter was not very creative, but the nigiri were great. The sashimi selection was very nice, with some fish you do not see as often in omakase menus, such as isaki, iwana, and myabi tai, a kind of tai. Sawada was delicious and is always a good inclusion. We asked for some wasabi and received a small cup of kizami wasabi, a chopped wasabi with a slightly crunchy texture, which was a nice touch. For the nigiri, all the classics of a good omakase were present: otoro, kinmedai, shima aji, uni, hotate, and wagyu. Kamasu was also included, and it is one of my favorite fish. It is also worth noting that they age both their beef and their tuna, including the otoro that was served. A few pieces were torched, maybe a few too many. Overall, the service was not memorable, although chef Ron Au was friendly and nice. The place itself felt a bit questionable, and my expectations were not very high after the beginning of the meal. But the food was truly excellent, and for that reason I think it deserves 5 stars.
