    SO GOOD. so fresh, so yummy, easy and convenient. Love this place so much and the people are so nice. HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Crab inari
    Matthew W.

    My daughter and I had lunch here a little while back. Let me start by saying the staff are amazingly friendly. I felt like someone was personally making sushi for me. We had the crispy shrimp roll, spicy salmon roll, and the crispy crab inari. This is honestly some of the best sushi I've had in the area. My favorite by far was the inari, and this is from someone who normally doesn't eat tofu. It is a must try. The price point is good, and again, the service is excellent. I will definitely be back.

    a variety of sushi

    This is a new sushi place in a former Subway sandwich shop. They make the sushi fresh while you wait. Rolls come with ten pieces, so it only takes couple to fill you up. They stick to the most "common" types of rolls. I'm sure this helps in keeping costs down. We had a tempura shrimp roll and a Philly roll. Both were well made.

    This is a welcome option for sushi in the Tri-Cities area. Since our beloved nearby place closed we have been trying all the sushi restaurants but not finding a favorite. We were happy to order from this new business run by a local family. They were friendly on the phone and in person. They answered right away and the order was made quickly. They told us how they make everything fresh everyday and stressed the importance of that, which we appreciate! The rolls definitely hit the spot! We will definitely be back to try more!

    The best sushi place

    The best sushi and the best owner!!! I go here everytime for sushi!!!always a clean and happy environment

    Smoked Salmon Phili Roll
    Josh S.

    Great! Service was nice, food was made fresh. Tasted great and fresh. Room to sit in and eat, had good music.

    Mango bubble tea
    Peggy L.

    This place is AMAZING. I was in Geneva and looking for some restaurants and came across a Tiktok of the owners nephew recommending it and the nigiri looked so good we had to make a stop. The owner was so nice and recommended bubble tea which wasn't in the menu. We got mango and I love any boba that bursts in your mouth 10/10 chugged it. The salmon was amazing too so fresh so great. Love this quick concept utilizing an old subway location and it makes sense. You need to grab this place even if it's just a quick to go order. I honestly ate this all on my ride home.

    Spicey Tuna

    Great sushi! Awesome owners! The ingredients were very fresh. The prices were really good.

    Crunchy Cali Roll (I customized with no avocado) and shrimp inari

    We just tried Domo Sushi and came away seriously impressed. Their AYCE is $26 for lunch or $32 for…read moredinner, and considering the quality and huge selection, it's a fantastic value. This isn't one of those AYCE menus where you get a handful of basic rolls and everything interesting costs extra. There's a huge array of appetizers, nigiri, basic and specialty rolls, plus dessert. I also REALLY appreciated the picture guide for the specialty rolls; with that many choices, actually seeing what you're ordering is incredibly helpful. We started with fried octopus balls, gyoza, fried scallops, and shumai before moving on to five rolls: Godzilla, Volcano, Rainbow, Super Crunchy, and Spider. Everything tasted fresh, was beautifully presented, and had enough variety in flavors and textures that nothing felt repetitive or like cheap AYCE filler. Naturally, we still found room for fried Oreos and ice cream for dessert. Because apparently four appetizers and five rolls weren't enough. Service was excellent; fast, friendly, and attentive, with food coming out at a great pace. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and inviting, with warm wood, colorful booths, Japanese parasols, and cherry-blossom accents. Fun and contemporary without feeling overly upscale. For $26 at lunch or $32 at dinner, Domo delivers a LOT for the money. Great sushi, tons of choices, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Come hungry, use that picture guide to strategize, and don't sleep on the specialty rolls. Domo has absolutely earned a spot in our AYCE sushi rotation.

    Sorry for middle score. Inside really nice. Waitstaff good. Service quick…read more No fatty tuna, ugh. Everything seemed good. Not great. Had a little of everything, but not blown away. The bigger was when I got the bill a 20% gratuity was already added. I could change it but that makes me shake my head. The 20% was the whole bill with tax. $4 is $4. But anyway a lot better places to explore and go to.

Love the decor, but it can get busy and a little noisy. Servers are nice, but at times get a little lost, as you might sit for a bit when you need something. Room for improvement. Occasionally sticky tables or wet chairs. Been twice where we needed things rewiped. Room for improvement. Food is always good and very fresh. Depending on what you order, can be a little higher priced, but still fair. Good value, Reservations are through Rezy and they have ePerks if you signup through their web store ($10 signup bonus + birthday rewards). May take a few days for email to arrive after processing. Absolutely one of our favorite places. This trip, ordered Spider and Rainbow Rolls, with my wife ordering Kung Pao Chicken Noodles. Our friends had the Mongolian Beef (one of favorites) and various other sushi rolls. Try the Pork Lo Mein which comes with shrimp or maybe a Sake flight. See you next time!

The Marine Salad, Shrimp Fried Rice and Vegetables were very good. The Yaki Udon dishes were good, but we agreed that the dish overall was a little bland, something seemed to be missing. Next time we will try something different. Overall, a very nice dining experience.

I've been a few places like this, from the familiar Benihana to a long-shuttered shithole storefront in OakPark where the Chef tried valiantly to put on a show, but fortunately he was a better Chef than a Showman. Shinto, here, is a fave of Daughter #3 and her family so we took over an entire table with our Party. A bit of Sushi pre-show, (it was edible) and then, curtains UP! The repertoire of Chefs in all these joints are quite similar, and the quality is measured by how inspired the chef is, and THAT metric is subjective to the receptiveness of the table. If all are ready to have a good time, the Circuses will match the Bread. If there's a Bruno Bummer in the crowd, it's going to be a long meal. Fortunately, our crew is of the "fun" persuasion and the Chef seemed to be, as well. The theatrics were the usual moves- tossing knives (and bits of Shrimp) in the air, and each of us got a chance to catch morsels in our mouths (mostly futile). The "onion train" thing, and occasional flambé were there, as was the balancing of the bowl of rice on a knife. The "Mustard Bottle with a string" is always good for a laugh. The Menu is pretty much the same at all of these places-Shrimp, Steak, or Chicken, Salad, Fried Rice, Veggies. All theatrically prepared in front of you. All of it top-quality and tasty. It would have been a great feed even without the stage show. If you're particular to only one type of dressing on your salad, you're out of luck unless you're into Soy Ginger, which is the onliest topper you're going to find here. Personally, I dig it, but Wife who is a Ranch aficionado took a pass. The Fried Rice was exceptional. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the ingredients, so the Chef's deft hand was responsible for the Yum. The Chef was quite fun, and he got our steaks off at the perfect desired temperatures, while keeping up the theatrics. There's an option for "French Garlic" topping for the proteins which is basically Garlic, Butter, and Breadcrumbs. This stuff would make a ceiling tile palatable. If you visit here, I highly recommend it. If you're looking for something different in the Hibachi line, this ain't it. But the show and the food were top-notch Throwing a well-deserved 5 stars.
