Got hibachi, we always get the chicken and steak, prices have gone up since we started coming here so for 2 adults with s&c, you're looking at around 75-100$. I got the shrimp tempura, and it was cold, and tasted like it was yesterdays. No crunch to the tempura whatsoever. i asked if they make it per order or one giant batch then use throught the day and the lady looked very confused. Ice cold shrimp, soggy breading, not a good mixture. Ive never had an issue with the tempura. Dinner was excellent of course. Recommend 10/10 Might want to skip sushi though. I dont recommend that. So I've read some of the reviews about how this place is really dark and dingy, when you first walk in lights are on you can see what you're doing you can see everybody there's a bar to your right and there's Booth seating for non hibachi. When you walk through the doors you're right at the desk to check in. If you look straight you can see the Hibachi room. This is a darker room so it can be more intimate. With the whole fire going on the grill, keeping it dim in the room gives it a "wow" factor and to set the mood/ambiance. Its not so dark you cant see, its just not as bright. If it's a bright room and you're having all of these fire tricks going on it's not a big wow factor. I've never had a metallic taste happen in this restaurant, nothing is wrapped in tinfoil, and I've been coming here since I moved here in 2010. Now you can sometimes get overcooked food here if the chef is overworked, but as long as you talk to them and tell them that it is overcooked they'll remake it for you. Or they'll take it off your check. Everyone here is easy going even on a super busy day. I've never had attitude from anybody. Also they don't use a bunch of sauce to Overcoat your food with flavor. A lot of other places will just load it up with teriyaki sauce and the other sauce that I can't think of the name of but the reason why they do that is because the food isn't fresh here the food is fresh. They use fresh ingredients. I've been to other Hibachi places where in their vegetables they add corn and green beans which ruins the whole flavor and then when they're cooking on the grill they add jarred garlic which is a whole different flavor that doesn't mix with the Hibachi experience. Everything is cut in front of you so if you don't think that your chicken is correctly colored you can see it and you can tell them. Again if you don't like something TALK TO THEM. They dont bite. read more

This place has went downhill in the past ten years. Now it is overpriced and mediocre at best. The hibachi lacked flavor. The service is nothing to write home about. Will not go back. read more

Kinda tasty food. The hibachi meal itself was VERY salty. I wasn't a fan of the ginger dressing on the salad either... I enjoyed the mushroom appetizer! The waitstaff were nice. read more

The food is amazing. We continuously go back. It is our favorite restaurant to eat hibachi at the waiter is always very kind and friendly that Cook cooks our food. read more

Meh. Good for a small group if entertainment is more important than food. Everything was WAY too salty and overcooked. We went for a graduation dinner with 11 people. This was maybe 3 or 4 too many to be able to have a conversation with shape of table. Staff was very friendly. read more

Food is TERRIBLE! Do not go here. The owners are aggressive and extremely rude. Place is filthy. The lady who appears to be owner is one of the most disrespectful people I've ever encounter. Awful people. Save your money. read more

Our hibachi chef was very entertaining, and the food was incredible! We ordered steaks and chicken with veggies, rice, and noodles. It was also served with a small salad, and soup. Try the Asian dressing it's divine! We had enough food for 3 meals each....leftovers were just as good! read more

Went here for my husband's birthday and it was wonderful. They gave us a show and they gave us good seats even with 25 people.

Great and fast service. Excellent work by the hibachi chef to serve us great food. Started to get busy but it was not too loud. read more

Walked in look very dark I asked to do hibachi she asked me how many in my group and I said it's just me and she said oh no, he sat me down in the dining room. A group of sex was walking behind me and she sat them down at the hibachi bar. the soup is really salty in the salad which I love the ginger salad was like thick paste will not come here again. The dinner was very good. I just didn't care for the way she treated me because I was dining alone read more

Domo Steak & Sushi - Teriyaki, chicken and vegetables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

I had read mixed reviews and heard good and bad reviews from friends. I thought I would stop in and give it a try for my own experience. It was a short one!! I walked in and the restaurant looked closed down. The lights were dim, the sushi bar was empty (literally). I had no devoted server. I was sat by the host with no greeting and a menu with water. I waited 10 minutes with no interaction from anyone. My water tasted like cleaner was left in the glass. I decided to throw in the towel and head out while I was ahead. On the way out the host said can I take your order. I declined. I would keep the car in drive and roll past this one. I ended up finding My Thai Cafe/Sushi across the highway. The service was great, the staff was courteous l, and the food was delicious. read more

Very nice group experience. Chefs cooked well and entertained along the way without overdoing it. Good variety of menu choices, good quality food, a little heavy on the sauces that overpowered some of the flavor but still very good. Restaurant was clean, it was a little confusing figuring out what door to enter. Chairs on a table on one end of entry made us wonder if they were closed, a sign laying on the sidewalk by another door was confusing. Once we found the right door it was all good. Nice and comfortable inside, friendly staff. read more

My favorite hibachi that I have been too in Bloomington so far. The service was quick and made sure our party was taken care of. I recommend this place because in the hibachi meal you also get noodles and do not have to pay extra for them. read more

We got there right when they opened. The food and service were great! Lots of options on the menu! Will go again for sure

Worst hibachi of our lives, by far. Actually the worst food we've had in the past decade. Hardly anyone at our grill ate any of the food. Everything tasted over cooked, over soy sauced, the salad ginger dressing was bad, the soup was bad...all really terrible. It blew our minds how bad it was because hibachi is pretty straight forward and always good. Not to mention the atmosphere, we couldn't wait to leave. We will never go back to this restaurant ever again. read more

I used to come here a lot; great atmosphere, well lit, lively staff, high quality food and prices that made sense. Today I came in for a to go order. I got two meals. I paid nearly $80 dollars for two meals. When I brought it home, the food was wrapped in foil, the meat was overcooked and tinged with a metal taste, the rice was dry and the noodles were barely passable. The building itself was dark and kind of creepy; there was no one at the front desk at first and they had to be called out by the man at the sushi bar. It was empty and their main sign was laying on the ground outside. I sat in a dimly lit booth with a menu that had price hikes added on with little paper cut-outs. I promised my wife her favorite Hibachi. I got it. She's disappointed. I'm furious. Overpriced. Poor Quality. Poor Service. Run. Away. read more

This restaurant is AMAZING! The best hibachi not only in town but the best I've ever had! The sushi is amazing and hand rolled by the owner! Wonderful family business! Excellent customer service and lovely atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

I pretty much just come here to satisfy that sushi craving on my lunch breaks only. Its the only sushi spot that I can make it to within my hour lunch break....and it usually takes more than an hour. The salad they give is just iceberg. I like the dressing....but its is less than basic salad. The sushi is OK. Nothing super creative or over-the-top. Atmosphere leaves much to be desired. This was an old Tumbleweed restaurant, and the cactus and bullhorns are still around. Never had that in a japanese restaurant. I say it's good enough to pay lunch prices. They have a strict rule at their hibachi tables that at least 1/2 the group must order hibachi. This caused violent arguments between me and staff on my birthday.... read more

Use to be really good food. For there sauce it was stk sauce American. Just horrible and horrible service. The water she gave us was from the tap and it tasted so bad couldn't drink it and very very expensive. We will never go back read more

Highly overpriced very average Japanese food and average (at best) sushi. Staff is as bad as it gets? It takes FOREVER to get help and don't finish your drink too early because it will be awhile until you get another. Ordered salmon sashimi and was served literally FROZEN! I don't mean cold, I mean I couldn't bite through it. I was stunned when the owner told me "oh, but it's really fresh!" REALLY? Lastly, if you order sushi, don't be in a hurry! The most basic of orders take 30 minutes. One time my wife and I ordered a sushi appetizer and we ordered and finished our entree before the "appetizer" was served. The restaurant used to be above average and I've seen a drastic decrease in the service and quality. With so many other great places in Bloomington, don't waste your money here! read more

So good. Definitely left stuffed. Had the swordfish hibachi and it was amazing. The noodles that came with it were so good. The staff were friendly and brought stuff out with a quickness.. Will definitely return soon! read more

Domo is a great sushi and hibachi-style restaurant. I'm not a big sushi person but those who are love it. I'm a fan of hibachi, as are my kids. Good service, great food. BEWARE they are not open for lunch M/T/W, but are other days. As long as one of the chefs doesn't accidentally cut my head off, I'll remain a happy customer!! read more

Domo Steak & Sushi - Hibachi style - 8 tables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Where do I begin..... there are two sides to this story. The food is absolutely fireee flamessss (which means good for all you elder yelpers) the quantities are massive, unlike my will to live. The hibachi guy was American (oh well) but does he know how to use that grilllllll. No discrimination as long as he can cook (am I right ladies) The atmosphere is the second side of this story. It is very county oriented for a Japanese restaurant. It also kinda makes you feel like you're about to be murdered. I practically had to use night vision goggles. Lol but taste is enhanced in the dark!! Also they have an amazing birthday song!!!! Well that's a wrap kids. #domoalligator read more

Domo Steak & Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The service here is really good, very kind and polite, and that's nothing to sniff at. The food, though, is average at best. My tonkatsu was not bad, but it was surrounded by heaps of garnishes that, while not technically inedible, were not appetizing. (Raw kale?) I'm certainly not at a "avoid this place at all costs" level by any means, but it's not one I'd go out of my way for. Also, use the bathroom at home or anywhere else... the bathroom here wasn't THE worst, but the smell was off-putting and it wasn't very welcoming. Maybe I should have opted for the hibachi section - at least then there's a little action! read more

Great Sushi, decent Hibachi (if you are into that sort of thing). Having lived in Japan and Korea for a few years this is the best you in a land-locked state/county here in Southern Indiana. Service is good, yet I know when busy waitress can be rather busy keeping folks happy and food rolling out. I come here for the Sushi as they do not skimp on the size of the fish cuts like other restaurants. Side salad and soup are rather standard fare and nothing special. I have had better elsewhere, hence the loss of a star as these really should be freshly made and have more than just a mayo style dressing. Having cooked and eaten in Japan/Korea I know they could do better in this regard. But again, I come here for the fish and, occasionally, the fish rolls when I feel the need. These are good. There are better places in Columbus, IN that do soups and other Japanese style dishes like Unagi, Udon, Somen, or Gyudon - but for those I tend to make from scratch. Raw fish I prefer being prepared by a Sushi chef that is experienced - the owner's husband is that person. Overall you will walk away feeling pretty happy. I have not been here since the pandemic hit but now that the wife and I are fully vaccinated we are looking to do a curbside pickup/takeout. Be sure to check them out and support this local business that isn't a pop-up but has been in the community for as long as I can remember (closing in on twenty years.) Enjoy!

Domo is one of our favorite meals in Bloomington. The Sushi is fantastic and it is readily apparent they place an emphasis in purchasing the best quality seafood available. The Hibachi dinners are equally impressive. We usually order the triple combo (shrimp/steak/chicken) for two people which leaves at least one full extra meal. The shrimp is always our favorite, but the steak is a close second. Let alone the fantastic meal, the skill of each Hibachi chef is incredible and provides impressive entertainment with a great tasting meal. The price isn't cheap, but considering the portions, the quality of the food, and the entertainment - it quickly balances out to a reasonably priced meal. Overall, this gem of a restaurant always offers a phenomenal dinner out for my family. read more

I love sushi, and Domo has the best quality raw fish in Bloomington. I have eaten here dozens of times and it has always been delicious. The prices are just right - I feel like you get what you pay for and it's worth paying a little extra to get good quality fresh seafood (who wants to eat stinky strip mall sushi? Not me!) So bottom line, if you're looking for delicious sushi that is reasonably priced and won't make you sick, Domo is the place to be in Bloomington. read more

not the best hibachi i've ever had but still good! great service and the hibachi chef was so nice and gave me some eggs for my birthday :) you will definitely have leftovers ! read more

I love this restaurant more than anything - it has been my birthday dinner every year for the past decade! Hibatchi is my favorite and this is the best Hibatchi place I have found out of 40 states. Everything is made fresh in front of you. Our favorite chef is Andy - so much personality and he seasons the food to perfection. The management is amazing and always knows us. I honestly couldn't give more love to Domo's. It would definitely be my last meal if I had to choose. 100000/5 stars read more

Don't know what is going on with this place. It used to be a great place to come for hibachi. Tonight - mind you a Wednesday night - we had to wait over an hour and half (1 1/2 hours) to get "near" to have our food - we haven't had our food yet, the cook is getting closer. NEVER again will we come here. Never had a problem at Asuka - They have our business for the future. "Buyer be aware" however, the only good thing was we had an incredible server - Samantha who did a fantastic job. If not for her, we would have walked out a long time ago. Thank you Samantha - you are awesome! read more

Domo, we've been together several years now. You've been there for me on my darkest days, and I can't imagine my life without you. I guess what I'm saying is.. will you marry me? Please?? I absolutely ADORE this place. Whenever someone tells me they don't like sushi, I take them to Domo, and cram a Salmon Avalanche right in their blasphemous gullet. The Salmon Avalanche, for those poor, unfortunate souls who are unfamiliar, is the cheeseburger of sushi. It is warm, creamy, salmony deliciousness, for which words alone cannot do justice. Immediately upon trying the Salmon Avalanche, I am thanked for the introduction, and the previous sushi-doubter repents, and lives a life full of rice, seaweed and smiles. The hibachi is delicious as well, but I just can't bring myself to order it, when there are so many delicious sushi rolls. It can be a little pricey, depending on what you order, but you do seem to get what you pay for. Example: the spinach roll is simply spinach, rice, and a tasty sauce. Nothing special, for about $3.50. If you feel like shelling out about $8.50, you can get the deliciousness that is the Salmon Avalanche, or it's less hot (but still DEFINITELY attractive) sister, the Crazy Horse. They have rolls even more expensive than this, and presumably more tasty, but I never make it that far. The appetizers are delicious as well. I can never bring myself to buy Edamame at a restaurant, since you can buy a whole bag at Kroger for what restaurants charge, but should you decide to splurge, theirs is absolutely delicious. The tofu and dumplings and soups and salads are a wonderful introduction to any meal there. In short: Jesus Tap-dancing, Dog-walking, Horse-riding Christ, this place is good. Why are you still reading? Go! Go now! FLY, YOU FOOLS!! read more

ABISMAL SERVICE. Awful. Horrendous. Unacceptable. We were in shock at how terrible it was. Slow is an understatement, English isn't spoken ... downright incompetent. I felt like I was in a foreign country. Our group of 11 arrived for our 7pm reservation right on time. They had three empty hibachis but our table was still being set. So we waited and then were seated in a few minutes. Here we go. They took our drink orders almost right away. And then we waited .... and waited ... and waited ... AND WAITED. We waited FOURTY MINUTES to receive our drinks. Out of our drinks, TWO were mixed drinks, the rest were beers and sake. Like bottled beer and sake. The 11 of us have been sitting around the table, waiting for our drinks, a chef and waters. After getting our drinks, we then wait another HALF HOUR to get glasses of water. At this point, we have been seated and waiting for SEVENTY FIVE MINUTES for a chef to show up. We are starving. We ask what is going on and the communication is non existent because the waitress doesn't really speak English. Finally the chef shows up. He's a nice guy, doing his tricks and making our food. We didn't get our main courses for another thirty minutes. The food itself was actually really good. But maybe we thought that because we were delirious from hunger. At this point, after we have finished our meal it has been 2.5 HOURS. Now comes the check. We ask to split as always since every restaurant in our area almost automatically does this given it's a college town and everyone's splitting bills. Now.. we wait. AGAIN. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Twenty minutes later, one girl from our group goes up and checks to see what's happening. The splitting of checks is neurosurgery at this place. They are working on it. Okay? Another ten minutes later I go up to ask if I can help because it is getting ridiculous. We finally get our bills and get out as fast as we can. OVER THREE HOURS LATER, we are finished. We are full but that service alone had our group saying we would never go back. The two stars are solely for the fact that we liked the food once our aching bellies got it. Domo, you're in the middle of Indiana. Have servers who speak English and can handle waiting on tables of a set size. It's hibachi for crying out loud. You expect a full table and know what you're going to get. It's a pretty simple equation. The service is an embarrassment. Anyone who says otherwise on Yelp is straight up lying to you. read more

I love Domo's food. Hibachi is so delicious, no complaints there. The service, although polite, is slow and it always takes a while to even put your order in. It's never super busy, which is great. But waiting over an hour for two entrees seems a bit excessive, after waiting a good 15-20 minutes to have someone come to the table and take a drink order. read more

Food was way to salty and over cooked and it's definitely way over priced for such crappy food and the people that work here are rude as well read more

Of the two hibachi restaurants in Bloomington, this is the better of the two. The amount of food you are served is large and very tasty. The sushi is good as well. Mikado usually has a little bit better quality fish, but at a higher price in a strip mall atmosphere. Domo makes up for the difference with more comfortable surroundings and one of the best ginger dressing recipes I've ever tasted. The building used to house a chain steakhouse which explains the steer heads everywhere. read more

I. Love. Domo. It is my favorite restaurant in the world. No lie. Admittedly, part of my love affair with Domo is due to nostalgia. Domo took my sushi "v-card." Nonetheless, this restaurant created a monster. I've traversed the hinterlands with my gluttonous appetite for sushi and have found none that are better. What I order (I love to share with others and always like to have left-overs...hence the previous gultton admission): House salad. Sake and Unagi nigri. Domo hand-roll. Rainbow, Boston, spicy tuna, spider, rolls. Cold, dry sake. I keep it simple; no gimmicky rolls. I might move back to Bloomington just to be close to this restaurant. read more

This is one of my Favorite places to eat.... Been going here for goting on 10 years lol..I. Moved back to California in 2008 then returned here in July and domo was still here... I've been at least every few weeks since :) owners are awesome 2. read more

Only ever been here for the sushi at lunchtime. Apparently they have hibachi tables...bet they're decent. But when I see that list of fish slices rolled up in rice, I simply can't resist! Never seen the place crowded. But that's not a bad thing really. The staff was extremely friendly here. read more
