Domoishi made ordering easy by having kiosks where you place your order and pay right there. You can select a variety of options for your bowl. I want to come back to try out other sauces and options. The salmon was a bit tough, so I'd either stick with just tuna or a different option. This is definitely a place I plan to go back to. read more

TL;DR: 4.25 stars - Solid poke bowls with generous portions Came here about 30 minutes to close, and the employee was starting to clean up. Felt bad, but we made sure to put in our order, eat without making a mess, and leave. They have a sneeze guarded area where you can see all the options for the poke bowls, but you have to order everything at the kiosks. Make sure to scroll all the way down on your selections to see all the options/toppings. FOOD: ~Poke Bowls: I got the 2 protein option and my husband got the 3 protein option with rice. The salmon and tuna was solid (they were cubed), and the spicy tuna was the chopped and dressed type. The flavor and texture of the spicy tuna was good. ~Toppings: they have a bunch of different options for toppings where you can choose as many as you want, with only a few of them having a surcharge. ~~the ones we got were cucumber, edamame, green onion, ginger, crab salad (shredded kani), seaweed salad, garlic crisp, roasted seaweed, and fried onions. Everything was good ~Sauce (you can choose up to 2): got the standard sriracha mayo which was tasty ~Shrimp Shumai (3.5/5): standard - note they were deep fried ~Shrimp Tempura (4/5): solid - very crispy and good sized shrimp ~Thai Tea (3.8/5) with boba (2/5): thai tea had good flavor and just creamy enough. The boba was not good though. Overall, this place was good and better than I expected. read more

Honestly, not impressed at all came here to get a little snack while my mother use the restroom. I ordered her a poke bowl. The lady would only accept cash payment at the register. Otherwise you have to use a card payment at the kiosk didn't like that at all... Then as I'm ordering the poke, I would like to go down the line, but they do it like they want you to place all your toppings and order right then and there you don't get to go down the line and choose toppings and pick them out as you're looking at it so I had no idea what the toppings even look like before ordering so then I get to the topping as I'm watching her make the order and the toppings look weird. They did not look enticing. The crab salad was just shredded crab and the tuna and the salmon just looked really odd. I will not be returning back to this restaurant and not only that they're stingy with the sauce. They only give you two sauces in small containers at that or they charge you extra. I'm sorry but for $15 and some change I think we should get whatever sauce and how much sauce we want on the side or on our bowl it doesn't matter as a paying customer sauce does not really amount too much and then there was nobody in there so yeah, that should tell you something. read more

Domoishi - The front of the building - Ramen Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I'd eaten here once before and it had been alright. Nothing to write home about. But I went this weekend and it was not good. Just not a good assortment of ingredients for poke bowls and they give you the dressing on the side. So it's literally a mound of toppings on a mound of rice. The person I was with disliked the chicken in her ramen, too. They also gave me a huge bowl of seaweed salad, and normally that would be a boon, but it ended up being not great as well. Too salty and too slimy. I suspect they don't get a lot of people ordering it so it sits around too long. The service is minimal as you order from a kiosk. The woman who fulfilled our order was friendly. She is clearly just a regular person fulfilling orders with sub-par food. This is a place you go and order food and take away rather than sitting down and enjoying it. The decor is clearly "I bought it at IKEA" from the tiles to the chairs. read more

I've heard about this chain and have wanted to try it since I was in the area. I tried to order through their online app but wasn't able to get it through. I tried to call but no one would pickup. Since we already decided on what to order, I made the drive out there anyway. Once I got to the restaurant, For covid purposes, you have to order on their tablet. I ordered the beef rice dish, a poke bowl, and half and half chicken wings. The highlight of the meal was the chicken wings. I got the half spicy soy garlic and soy garlic. Very crispy and flavor was great. Definitely gives Bon Chon a run for their money. I was also surprised to receive such a nice bag for take out. The beef rice dish was okay. The meat was flavorful but the pairing of the red ginger you would eat with sushi doesn't make sense. The bowl was 90% rice with very little beef. I didn't think this was worth what they were charging for it. The poke bowl was given decent reviews by the wife. It wasn't memorable in her opinion. I don't think I'd go out of my way to eat here again. This place was alright. read more

We ordered this for delivery on our trip to the area. I ordered the ramen in chicken broth added spice and chicken. It was very flavorful and delicious. My husband liked his ramen, he got soy broth with chicken, but did say it was lacking a bit in flavor.

Visiting Williamsburg from out of the country and came across Domoishi. The quantity is ALOT, I couldn't finish my own food and neither could my family members, they give more than enough. The quality is 4/5, isn't the highest quality of salmon and tuna but it does the job! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is super cute too, decorated well. Would visit again nonetheless read more

After a long day of our active family vacation at the Great Wolf Lodge, eating pizza, tacos and other quick hand held foods, I was craving some ramen. Thanks to fellow Yelpers, I found this place to be one of the very few in the area. I got the tonkastsu ramen with pork. It was a nice mild flavor broth, with 3 slices of pork, corn, soy sauce braised egg, and edamame. I liked it bc the noodles were cooked just right, and soup was a nice comfort food hot. I also got a Thai Milk tea. It was just a little more watered down then what I'm used to, but still very refreshing and went perfectly with my hot steaming bowl of ramen. The staff are nice and friendly. I also liked that they have a bunch of board games for me and my 7 year old son to play with while we got a chance to get away from the all the hustle and energy of the water park, etc.. I'm so happy and so surprised to find this little gem of a place amongst all the touristy restaurants. We had a nice time there playing games, relaxing and enjoying great food. read more

Domoishi - Ramen Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I was disappointed earlier this week when I got Bubble Tea (Taro) and French Fries to go. Bubble Tea was excellent, as before, but the Fries were just ordinary Fries. No Paprika, and the box they were in was not as well ventilated as it was last year. Also, the POS machines were frustrating. There are two of them. The one on the right is so wobbly that I needed 2 hands to use it. Also, possibly because I have fingertips made of ice, touching the screen gently is not enough. I have to pass it hard, poke it, or whatever to let it know what I want. And there is generally not an employee nearby to help. In the future, I believe, when I want Bubble Tea I'll go to Pho 79. read more

Domoishi - Domoishi, née Yamachan, 21.05.17: French Fries. New, but not improved. Gone are the Paprika, and the holes for ventilation. - Ramen Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

What a fabulous addition to Williamsburg! Prior to this opening, there was no place for fruity bubble teas at all and nowhere for bubble tea with a welcoming, casual atmosphere. The pink wings mural as you walk in is the perfect Instagram stop. We had the taro tea and a custom creation with fruit and honey. Everything about this place was five stars except the taro tea. Honestly, it was just not good- very chalky. The fruity tea was amazing and all their add-ins were sweet and fresh. The prices are also the same or cheaper to everywhere else you can find bubble tea in Williamsburg. Food wise, we ordered wings, because the ramen bowls looked huge and we weren't that hungry. We got an order of a dozen wings- half classic flavor (garlic soy) and half spicy (garlic soy kimchi). They weren't kidding about the spice factor! These crispy tiny wings were amazing. Ordering a dozen for $12 was actually a lot of food, because they actually gave us 24 smaller wings. The fries weren't anything fancy but they were well seasoned, too. I totally recommend stopping by for more than just a drink! read more

Update: so apparently the free drinks are given selectively. I was lucky that they offered me the free drink of the day with my take out twice. BUT when my husband went they said it was only for their dine in guest. He swears that they gave the ppl before him the free drink and they also did take out. My husband isn't vocal and I feel that it's so rude of them to be selective that way. STAY CONSISTENT. I'm from Hawaii and I haven't found to many foods that I can say that I enjoy fully. Domoishi's poke bowl is definitely not like home. BUT i did enjoy the tuna (ahi) it taste really fresh ^_^ they also give you a free drink which was really nice ^_^ the ramen was good to ^_^ and Best of all the staff is friendly ^_^ read more

Stumbled upon this place when it was Yamachan, now that it's Domoishi, I wanted to check it out and see if it was different. Fortunately, Domoishi offers the same food and kept the same cute vibe. I ordered the takoyaki, shoyu ramen with pork chashu, and half sweet, light ice Signature Amber with boba. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The ramen could be higher quality but considering Virginia is not known for its ramen, the quality of the ramen exceeded expectations. The takoyaki was very flavorful and fluffy. It tasted amazing. In addition, the creamy jasmine was made to perfection and the boba tasted great. The boba was squishy and not too hardI would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a goos, quick eat! Or even someone looking for good boba in the area. read more

Very high quality and kept space. Service was excellent. Had a very seamless takeout order.

I wanted to rate lower for lackluster service and in my opinion not very good value. Rated higher for pretty good food and interesting atmosphere. Was not greeted when we went in on a Saturday afternoon. There were only a few other people there but it looked more empty because of how large the space was. No smile and no hello from the lady at the register. She seemed to just kind of wait there looking down, didn't even really respond when we greeted her. Poke Bowls weren't available or at least not advertised so we ordered tonkatsu ramen with shrimp and miso ramen with chicken, an appetizer order of shrimp tempura, and a large jasmine bubble tea to share. Our total was $40 with a tip! Seems a little steep but I read the portions were large so I wasn't terribly upset. Bubble tea was okay. Took 20+ minutes for the food to come out. I have no problem with picking up my own food and clearing it away but I wouldn't leave a tip again if we ever return since they don't deliver your food or clear anything... they kinda just stand around? I never saw any server leave behind the register to clean or check on guests. Self service isn't a negative for me, just don't expect a large tip. Shrimp tempura was a complete ripoff. It was advertised as coming with 3 shrimp, so for $6 I was expecting large shrimp. Pathetically small and average. Horrible value on that appetizer. Ramen bowls were large and well portioned. We enjoyed both of them. Environment was disjointed. Loud pop music, sports games on the various TVs, modern decor, board games and tables for a "lounge" type vibe. I like all those aspects separately but together made for a jumbled aesthetic. TLDR: Ramen good. Don't order shrimp tempura. Service nonexistent. read more

I've had ramen in Va Beach and in New York ... this place can hold its own considering its local.... good portion for price ... atmosphere is wide open and everything feels trendy .... will probably be a staple for our family. Price is. 4star Food is 4 Atmosphere is 3 Service was a Update: 1/20/19 This time the service was seriously lacking, no greeting and not one smile on any face .... the food was off from last time ... the drinks were flavored either weaker or stronger than last time depending on which one we chose but in no way consistent. The food took a LONG time to come out about ten min after the people in front of us but then came out WITH the people behind us ...the dish seemed rushed to put together and the side dish from before with seaweed and shumai wasn't included... meaning we spent more and got less and everything seemed way off from our original visit.... I will call it up to new people maybe but if this was a first visit we wouldn't be back and I'm dropping my 4 star review to 2 until it returns to form read more

Decided to grab lunch here after getting my nails done next door. I was pleasantly surprised and very happy with my poké bowl. I got the 2 protein poké bowl with spicy tuna and salmon, seaweed salad, kani salad, cucumbers, green onion and fish eggs topped with Sriracha mayo over spring mix. I appreciated them having a lowcarb option for the base. Price was reasonable though the avocado was added at home. My bowl was refreshing and perfect for this hot weather. One recommendation I do have is to ask about the sauces if you're eating a certain way to determine the ingredients. I asked about the spicy poke sauce and when she showed me the jug I knew it would have too much sugar for me. Also, there's issues ordering through the website. read more

The reviews don't do this place justice..Super clean, and the employees are friendly. The ramen was delicious and that's coming from someone who overall hates noodles. The appetizers were phenomenal especially the spring rolls. If you like boba it's a must, if not their mango smoothie is mind blowing. If you're looking for something local in Williamsburg and that's very clean this is the place. They even have chicken wings for families who have people who don't like ramen.

I ordered this through Door Dash because there was $5 for your first order. I've had better sushi bowls. The tofu was not cooked, so it was just soft with watery texture. The shrimp has 0 flavor. The entire bowl was just flavorless, even with the choice of sauces.. I did like how you could choose all your ingredients. It just really lacked flavor... read more

Food was mediocre at best, bobo teas for grandkids were the only saving grace. My beef/rice bow was terrible, stringy beef, mixed in with little else. I'll try another sushi restaurant next time! read more

Very tasty and authentic food! Instead of choosing select poke bowls, the restaurant offers you a paper where you select your rice, proteins, sauces, etc., and the ramen selections have many different yet tasty options. They also offer many different smoothies and bubble teas, but no soft drinks (only water). Service is fine, no qualms with it. You can select if your food is for there or to go. Adding to this, they also offer DoorDash which is always a great addition. The restaurant is pretty big for its to-go option but has a clean atmosphere, good tunes and comfortable seating. I also noticed a few board games. This place would be good for a party. Food was tasty, place is cute, and definitely a place to stop by if you love asian food. read more

On my search for the best Asian food in Williamsburg. I stumbled across this place. I was glad it delivered because I wasn't able to go out to get anything. And you know what? This was great. But here's the thing. I keep trying poke bowls. And I don't like them. You think I would because of how much I love sushi. But poke bowls do NOTHING for me. And I love ramen. And really all kinds of soup. So why did I order a poke bowl here and not ramen, you ask? Because I'm an idiot. I have nothing against poke bowls, and the one I got here wasn't bad. At all. I just don't like poke bowls. I got one with sushi rice, shrimp, tofu, crabstick mix, corn, cucumbers, and some of the sauces. The tofu was really the only thing I didn't like. I personally believe that tofu is a vessel for marinades. If you don't soak it in something and fry or grill it up, it tastes like nothing. And that's what I got with this. The rest of the bowl was fine, nothing bad, but nothing really good, either. I'm just not a fan of poke bowls. I also got the shrimp shumai and that was amazing. I love shumai and the dumpling sauce and this was precisely what I was expecting. A little crispy, soft, and delicious. But you have to eat it with the sauce. Otherwise, no. C was the smart one on this meal. He got the seafood shoyu ramen. AND I WAS JELLY. He let me try a bite and I was bitter. Like, pouting that I picked the wrong thing like a toddler bitter. The ramen was SO GOOD. Perfectly spiced and full of flavor. He also got the octopus balls or whatever. I didn't try those. He said they were good, but tentacles freak me out. He's braver than I am. BUT THAT RAMEN, GUYS. TL;DR: Get the ramen and shumai. That's it. Nothing snarky or humorous. Just ramen and shumai. read more

As an Asian foodie who grew up in NYC, moving to Williamsburg has been particularly difficult for my fiance and I within the context of finding decent Asian food. Don't get us wrong, we absolutely love it here (finally some peace and quite after all those years in the concrete jungle). And honestly, we weren't expecting much in way of Asian cuisine, so it's been a blessing to have the selection that's here already. As soon as we moved here though, we've endeavored to try all the Asian restaurants in the area, only to find most lacking in authenticity (we even tried the original Sushi King that Yamachan replaced, and found it lacking to say the least...). With the nearest Korean fried chicken place being 30mins away (shout out to Chic n Fish), it is often hard to satiate the craving for Asian comfort food. Fortunately for us, Yamachan opened a few months ago. Armed with a group of friendly staff, generous portion sizes, and a great selection boba, they've really saved us and our bellies. We stumbled in for lunch last week, and within the same day, went back for dinner, something we almost never do. While all their fares have been great, we found in particular that their wings (garlic soy/kimchi both great, but avoid kimchi if you don't do spicy), the ramen (tonkatsu if you dig that rich umami bone broth taste), and their bubble teas have been the highlights for us thus far (honestly gotta trust us on this one: these Taiwanese-NYC raised yappies wont steer you wrong). What's great is that you can customize your bubble teas: we usually go for 30% sweet and 0% ice. We could not be happier that Yamachan has finally graced us here in Williamsburg. Best of luck to Gordon, Terry and all the other good folks making it happen over there! read more

Understandably during Covid there are restrictions but they do not allow customers to use their restroom even though you can dine in.

My husband and I came here for dinner tonight, and left super underwhelmed. When we got there, we were a little confused on their concept. There's about 6-7 tables, and a few booths, and a LOT of open space. The walls are bare, but modernized, and the furniture is mismatched. There's no signage, so we didn't know whether to sit down first, or wait and order at the counter. Turns out, you wait and order at the counter. My husband and I ordered pork tonkotsu and shoyu udon, when we were informed they were out of udon. They only have two noodle choices (ramen or udon), so we had to go with the ramen. We also ordered a takoyaki appetizer, and a medium and large boba tea. The total was a whopping $40!! We were very surprised at how expensive it was, until we saw the portion sizes on other people's tables. There is no table service (not to mention no condiments or soy sauce or anything on the tables) so you have to pay attention to when they have your order ready. The first order was ready, and it was a shrimp tempura and a porkless pork tonkotsu. I told the girl at the counter that I didn't order shrimp tempura, and she said it comes with the meal. I was very surprised by that, because the meal also includes a small tray of two shumai, a few strips of nori, and about a few drops of dipping sauce for the shumai. I brought it back to our table before I realized there wasn't any pork in the bowl. So I walked back to the counter, told the girl there wasn't any pork on it, and she had to check my order on the register (and not take my word for it). She went back to the kitchen, and told me that they had given her the wrong order, and that we could keep the mess up. So that was nice, but still a bit of a hassle. Our food came out shortly after that, and it was then I realized that my strawberry fun boba didn't have any boba in it. At this point, I was fed up with making trips to the counter. So we just ate - and it was pretty disappointing. The tonkotsu broth had a strange flavor to it, and the ramen looked like it was just thrown together (other ramen places in Williamsburg have a neat presentation). The shoyu broth my husband had was very watered down and bland. The pork was flavorless, but the boiled egg was tasty. They give you plastic, sturdy Tupperware for to-go containers (which I imagine is why their food cost is so high), which is nice, but unnecessary. It was just very underwhelming as a whole. Overall, the pros are large portions. The cons are expensive, no table service, and bland and confusing atmosphere. I'd of given 2 stars, but I gave three since they gave us the mess up for free. I miss the Sushi King that used to be here. It's changed hands so many times. read more

2.5 stars. I've been wanting to try a ramen/poke bowl place for awhile so we decided try this one when we came here for a weekend. It's really big and clean on the inside and the staff are very friendly. Since I've never eaten this type of food before, I don't have a comparison, but as popular as these type of places are in our area, I feel like the food must be better than it is here. We got 3 ramen bowls with pork broth and chicken. The portions were HUGE, but they didn't have much flavor. I would've liked to try a poke bowl, but she said they won't be available till January (they just opened). Doubt we'll be back. read more

I went yesterday with my daughter and we really enjoyed it and the staff is very friendly. I had the pork broth with ramen noodles and pork. My daughter had the miso broth with ramen noodles and chicken. We shared a Thai iced tea with light boba (I found it fun they can control the amount of sugar and boba) and an order of vegetable spring rolls. The portions are very large so come hungry. My bowl was perfect. However, my daughter said she was confused by the chicken and asked me to taste it. It's very much like luncheon meat rather than the roast chicken we were both expecting. (That's the only reason I'm rating 4 stars instead of 5). Will absolutely be going regularly for the ramen and am interested in trying the chicken wings as well. read more

This is the best hidden gem that is close to the outlet mall. I suggest you go hungry because the size of your bowl is huge. The bowl can feed to to three people but don't worry the to go containers are just like Tupperware! This place is not fancy but super great price and taste!!!! I had the ramen with miso broth and added and order (2) of veggie spring rolls! It is a must try!!! read more
