This is an absolute gem in the middle of downtown Denver. It was such a cultural experience dining in such traditional Japanese decor and gardens. They are only serving 20 at a time but it is worth the wait. The food was delicious, and very affordable at $16 per plate with big portions. The staff were incredible and we loved our experience. We will definitely be back to experience Domo again.

A little slice of Japan. I love when you enter, they traditionally say "irasshaimase" to welcome you. The interior is truly like stepping into Japan, it's beautiful and thoughtfully articulated over the course of nearly 3 decades. Since reopening, they do have a limited menu but the items are just as tasty as always. Furthermore, the portions are generous and nobody is going home hungry. I've tried the Nabeyaki Udon and Pork Cutlet Japanese Curry. Both dishes are very authentic and delicious. The Udon broth is addicting. And the pork cutlet was perfectly crispy. I also love one of their most recent sides, broccoli with Hijiki seaweed. So good, can't really find that anywhere else in Denver. All this, and a meal is only $14.50. What a steal.

Great place to experience! Food was amazing and and service was fast. When visiting here you must eat outside in the garden as it is apart of the experience and is amazing! Make sure you shown up early or you will have to wait. It is first come first server and the wait can be long as the restaurant is only open Friday-Sunday.

We got here and were looking forward to experiencing everything that everyone had been talking about only to find out that it has been closed. It’s sad that the owner didn’t restructure the place to meet the demand as it relates to the food. My take is that the owner should reconsider, and with parameters, reopening this place and setting limits on the number of dishes served in order to keep the highest quality of food. Hoping that he finds it in him someday, while still alive, to continue to share his food with many that clearly miss this place.

Super solid! Japanese friend recommended this place to us, the food was tasty, service was great (albeit a little slow since they were quite busy), and the offerings were quite reasonably priced. Seems like a pretty popular restaurant, might have to wait sometimes. If you're in the area, this place and the Japanese garden outside will not disappoint!

Domo is a delightful retreat for those seeking authentic home style Japanese cuisine! Nestled in the heart of Downtown Denver, this rustic haven is beautifully decorated with extensive gardens you can walk through. The menu is limited but offers traditional Japanese comfort foods. From the hearty rice bowls, to the deliciously spiced curries, Domo is a must visit for those craving genuine Japanese food.

Absolutely loved this place! I have been to Japan several times and felt transported there during my meal. I loved the decor and the food was delicious with huge portions. We opted to come early after reading so many reviews about the long waits. Right at 11:00 there were no other people waiting but by the time we left around 12:15 it was starting to fill up. We had excellent service. After, we looked at the museum which was similar to museums we have seen in Japan as well. It was really nice and I am so impressed at how closely everything was to Japan!! 10/10

I love the ambience. On a cold winter day, I'd come here every time for some cabbage hot pot or an udon bowl of goodness. The green tea was very soothing. Definitely take a walk outside in the garden.

Domo is one of my favorite spots to eat when I’m downtown. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are amazing. The food has always been great and has a variety of different dishes.

We finally had a chance to visit Domo and the atmosphere and hospitality were fantastic! I also deeply appreciate the attention to detail, they asked us about allergies, and even though I love Japanese food, I am allergic to fish. When I brought this up and also asked which dishes didn't have Dashi they were able to point out what I could eat. In my case I settled on the chicken teriyaki and you know what? 10/10 probably the best chicken teriyaki I've had in a long time. Absolutely would go here again and the old world charm of the Japanese decor was a wonderful adventure out of the modern surroundings. I'm in love, folks!

This place was so, so cool - I can't wait to go back already. The atmosphere is very welcoming and has beautiful displays of traditional Japanese architecture and design. It's got a really cool museum in the back, and the garden is quite nice - I hope to eat in the garden when I go back. I got the karaage ramen and it was a ton of great food! I'll probably try one of the curries next time.

I was so looking forward to try this restaurant some review was super good. The place feels good old days in Japan, atmosphere was good and it was like I ride time machine to go 50 years ago. Food were ok. It’s good enough to say they are Japanese meals but I didn’t feel so special about it. Maybe I was expecting too high. I will definitely try again once everything go back to normal!

I was shocked by how gorgeous this place is. Super traditional and simple japanese homey foods with simple prices. But the quality of the food is so clean and so hearty. I had the spicy tuna bowl, my other half had the pork katsu curry, and we shared some appetizers, and all were HITS. This was my first time dining here, and I just love this place so much. They only serve lunch and a handful of things off their regular menu because they are just reopened, trying to recover from the economic hit we all suffered. Support this place! It has artifacts and historical scenes and decor.

If you want authentic Japanese food, this is your place! We had tried this place before their temporary closure, and it was great. Came back recently for lunch and it was even better since there was no crazy wait to get a table. We had the Japanese chicken curry and beef donburi as mains, and also tried the shumai and gyoza appetizers. All delicious!

Gyoza was and beef Domo Gatsuri were both yum. I loved the ambience and when they played the song The Sound of Silence in a Japanese flute tune, the loud crowd suddenly got more quiet! The interior and exterior is soo warm and exquisite, it’s like you’re in Japan. Loved the museum and the lovely Buddhas and garden outside. Domo arigato どうもありがとう for the lovely lunch

A little taste of Japan. Restaurant decorations has a knack for transferring you back in time to the country side of Japan. Food tastes authentic and the drink choices could use more broadening. When visiting keep in mind you could be seated outside but even indoors its a bit chilly with all its doors outside open. Apparently this place has gotten popular due to social media so prepare for a wait as food is never rushed and made fresh. Really liked this place and made me miss Japan.

Absolutely beautiful decor. It's so well thought out, you can see how much they care just from the inside. The food was beyond delicious. I got the chicken curry, it was amazing. The food feeds your soul, so tasty. Went with a group and we tried most of the menu, all of it was incredible.

Got the spicy tuna sashimi bowl. Was tasty, and surprisingly cheap(less than $16) for how much food it was.
