DOMU - Dr. Phillips

My friend and I recently came to Domu two nights in a row. The first night was great! The kimchi butter wings were delicious as always and the ramen’s flavor was amazing. We had a really great time there. We enjoyed it so much that we came a second time the following evening. It was much busier as we came around 7 pm, so it was a 45 minute wait. We had no issue with the wait at all. We were finally seated and we put our order in, although I decided to try the dipping ramen instead. My friend got his ramen and I was waiting for my food, about 5 minutes passed and I still haven’t gotten my food. Our waiter was busy attending to other people, so I waited for them to make their way back over to us. After a little over 10 minutes, it seemed our waiter realized I didn’t have my food. He disappeared to the kitchen and then came back to apologize about the wait. He said something else, but it was hard to hear over the volume of other customers enjoying their meal and company. So I waited for another 5 minutes and my food was brought out to me. The flavor of the dipping ramen was really good, but it wasn’t hot. It was barely warm and the outside of the bowl was a bit dirty. Dried broth crusted around the rim. I’m not sure if my food was forgotten about, so they had to reheat it. I’m not sure what happened. I really enjoyed the flavor, but it was a bit hard to enjoy as the broth got cold really fast. It was a bit disappointing, but I would still come again. I’d probably come at an earlier time to avoid dinner rush.

If my wife and I were on a date, this would be a beautiful place to take her for some decent ramen and great ambiance. Michelin rated ramen spot in Orlando had our interest peaked. It was unusually cold that night, about 40 degrees. There was over an hour queue on a Tuesday night and they don't do reservations, so I told the hostess we would be willing to sit outside if that would get us a table faster. After a 70 minute wait, we were sat outside. We were fine with it since the ramen would be warming. Waitress greets us to take our drink order. I give her our full order and let her know to bring it all out (wife was cold and tired from a long day). They still spaced everything out as if we wanted a long dining experience sitting outside in the cold. My drink comes out, then 10 minutes later a crab roll, then 10 minutes later the lobster roll, then another 10 for the chicken wings. Finally one bowl of ramen comes out, but my wife's bowl is missing. It takes them a few minutes to come by after dropping off my bowl to ask if we needed anything else. Yes, the other bowl of ramen. They say they will go check on it. It takes over 10 minutes for wife's bowl to arrive. They said they ran out of bowls? The Tonkotsu broth itself was a bit light (vs creamy/fatty thick) broth we are used to. Flavor was decent. Good amount of pork. Half an egg. Chicken wings were crispy and tangy, good balance of flavor. Nothing special about the crab or lobster roll, but they were good. Fun mixed drinks. They were apologetic at the end and gave a discount which equalled to about half price on her bowl, which she only ate half because she was over the experience by then.

I came here with my girlfriend for my birthday. It was our first going out for ramen in Orlando since we’ve moved here. The overall experience was amazing! we walked straight in and were greeted and seated immediately. We first ordered the lychee martinis recommended by our awesome waitress Hannah and got the hot honey wings as an appetizer. The wings were perfect sweet and crispy, and the drinks were well balanced. For the entree I ordered the curry ramen and that was THE BEST RAMEN IVE EVER HAD. Like I said before overall great experience and shoutout to our waitress Hannah she did great. Ps the horchata ice cream is the bomb.com lol

As a person who isn't a huge fan of Ramen, I wasn't very eager to try this place. But since my husband is an avid Ramen lover, we decided to see what the hype was all about. THIS RAMEN WAS AMAZINGGGGG!! The broth is so rich + decadent that it almost feels like its thicker than it actually is. The flavors are incredible to the very last drop. We ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu, it wasn't too spicy at all, the the perfect level of spice to elevate the dish. And it doesnt stop there, the wings were easily some of the best wings we've ever eaten. The sauce has a distinct Asian flavor. But while they are completely covered in sauce, the batter is still crispy + crunchy, which perfectly (not over-cooked) juicy white meat inside. Phenomenal! I ordered 2 Gimlets while dining there which I highly recommend for their delicately bold flavor + smoothness. My lobster roll was crammed with lump lobster meat and paired SO WELL with the side of gochujang mayo I requested on the side.

The hype is here, but they don’t deliver on time we waited and waited for our table for our food and it came out in single dishes when we ordered 9!items. The chicken was crispy and tasty but everything else took so long. Cucumbers were perfectly spicy and crispy. The Richie Rich ramen was perfectly creamy but took over an hour after the order. The $15.5 CHASHU DON rice bowl took even longer but was tasty.

Domu felt like it would be an uptight experience, however, it was more casual then I expected. The servers were in jeans, t shirts, and baseball caps. It was my first experience but I already knew I wanted to try their award winning wings. They were sweeter than expected but very crispy in a caramelized way. The toasted sesame seeds were an excellent touch! I ordered the Tokyo ramen and it was perfect. None of the ingredients were overpowering and everything complemented each other. Will return.

Domu was amazing! There was a wait, but that was to be expected. We waited about 45 minutes after getting there right at 5. We ordered three appetizers- the Domu wings, the Cheezus and the cucumbers. All three were delicious. The wings were crispy and flavorful. The cucumber salad was my favorite- a sesame sauce with so much flavor, and the chili crisp really added a nice texture. The Cheezus was good but a lot- mostly cheese. Then we ordered our ramen. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu ramen and my husband ordered the spicy tonkotsu. Both were delicious, but we decided the black garlic was better. The broth was rich and the noodles were perfectly cooked. So flavorful. And the chashu was tender and flavorful as well. We were so full at the end. It was an excellent experience.

I went there on Thursday with my wife for dinner, and we absolutely loved it. This must be our fourth or fifth time visiting, and honestly, when it comes to price and quality, this place is unbeatable. The food is always excellent and reasonably priced. We tried the new octopus dish for the first time and were blown away by how good it was sweet, salty, tangy it had every flavor perfectly balanced. We also ordered the dry ramen, which we always get and love, and a tuna bowl that was just delicious. We brought our dogs with us, sat outside, and they even got water served for them, which was such a nice touch. This is truly one of my favorite spots in Orlando I always recommend it because every single dish is great.

Tyler the bartender had incredible service the entire time and made it an incredible experience. Ambiance was amazing and will be coming back again!

Went here with my husband! He is not noodle soup person, but he said it the best ramen he ever try. Overall the food is tasty, staff are very friendly. Highly recommend try out their Domu Wing !

Our server was absolutely fantastic and really made the experience a 5 star. She was attentive, pleasant, seemed happy to be at work, and didn't rush us. She made sitting outside (because the wait for an interior seat was 45 minutes and with a one year old and a 5 week old, that would have been impossible) in the sweltering heat more than tolerable. The food was amazing. Absolute best wings: large, plumb, crispy outside yet tender inside, covered with a great sauce that had a sweet and tangy blend of seasonings without being overly salty. Definitely loved them and placed a second order to take home. Be prepared to get messy and love it. The mozzarella and corn was super cheesy and corny (lol) and just melted in the mouth. Loved every kernel. And it was served in a cast iron personal size pan that kept it hot. The only disappointment was the Thai iced tea. First one tasted really bad and almost acidic. The replacement was perfect. Our waitress was amazing and did not charge for either one. The Cookie Monster was also a disappointment and was really just cheap soft ice cream with like cookie cheerios on top. Even my granddaughter did not eat it. BUT to be honest, dessert is not their forte and not the reason we went. The wings are their signature dish and did not disappoint. The ramen (which we did not get today) is also an excellent signature choice. Yes I will go back but will not sit outside unless it is in cooler weather.

My friend told me great things about DOMU and I also heard positive reviews from colleagues about the quality of food here. There are two locations in Orlando and many cited this one as being the easier one to find parking in. (The second is in Audubon Park and has a small lot shared with other businesses.) If you go before the main meal times, you can find a spot close to the restaurant. My friend and I were lucky to find parking when we went. She had put her name in at the front and received a buzzer which would go off once the table was ready. We spent time walking around the plaza in both directions, passing TooJay's and the home decor store near Kiki's, then the buzzer went off. (I would say it took about 15-20 minutes before the buzzer went off from the time we received it. We went around 5:30 PM.) We were seated outside and the menus were scanned via QR code. My friend ordered some appetizers and a cold ramen to enjoy, while I got their spicy tonkatsu ramen without the egg. While we were tempted to try the chicken wings, we weren't super hungry and decided to hold off for another time. Food came out pretty quickly - maybe 8-10 minutes max? My friend enjoyed her food and I felt the ramen was pretty good. Broth had good flavor without being overpowering in salt or any seasoning or spice. The size was not bad, but I did find myself stopping sooner so I could have some leftover for the next day. (I'll admit I'm used to places back in California that served larger bowls where you could evenly split out the bowl to take home leftovers.) Pricing was a little higher than other ramen places I've been to, but I think it's because this place touts itself as being a bit more of a higher end fusion place with quality ingredients.

DOMU is one of my favorite spots in Dr. Phillips. Chill atmosphere and great food. Service is always pretty on point as well. This trip was pretty good but definitely not as great as those in the past. We started with drinks at the bar. The bartender must have just started her day because we seemed to be bothering her when we asked for drinks during happy hour. We were seated soon after we got our drinks and our server more than made up for that miss in experience. On to the food! We always start with the wings. With DOMU tradition wings...per usual...10/10! The crisp and flavor on these things never disappoints. I would order these along and make a meal out of these if I didn't love the Ramen so much. The seasonal wings were pretty good as well. I wanted more of the sauce! I'd give them a good 8/10 though. For Ramen, I normally go with he Richie Rich as the flavor of the bone broth just brings this bowl together in the best way. But this time I tired the Wagyu Sichuan which does not have broth but boasts a big bold flavor for the description. AND, I love Wagyu beef. This dish was spicy, lots of flavor, rather thick and very savory. The noodles were made well. However, found myself wishing for something to loose it up as it was a bit too thick. Felt like a winter dish which isn't what you need in the heat of Florida. All in all, the dish wasn't bad and I'd say solid 6/10 for me. Still, I love DOMU and will definitely be back!

Can say hands down the Domu Wings are the best wings I've ever had. Visited Orlando for a conference and went to Domu twice during my stay because they were so yummy. Exceptionally crispy with the perfect spice level. The fingerling Bravas were also a great dish. The sesame oil and the crispy quinoa elevate the dish in a great way. It's safe to say any time I'm in Orlando I will need to stop here and have a bite. Both times I had the same server and she was genuine and knowledgeable.

This is a little fun spot. It was pretty packed on a Friday evening. They don't take reservations so we had a 25 min wait. Not too bad. Seating is limited so we ended up sitting at a bar type seating right where they make the food. Some people might think this is cool but not my favorite having to eat my food on display. The ramen was good, not amazing, but enjoyable. The drinks were stiff... they better be! They are a little pricey. The wings were good, but I've had better. All the servers were nice, so that's always a plus!

Everything was great! The food, the service, and the vibe. The atmosphere is casual. We looked at TikTok and searched on Google, so we ended up a little overdressed. LOL but we enjoyed it all. The WAGYU SICHUAN MAZEMEN (no broth) is spicy but we couldn't stop eating it! It's a great spot for date night or just hanging out with friends.

Three stars for a yummy Ramen! We arrived during brunch, and we ordered a bunch of appetizers straight away. Unfortunately, because it was brunch time, whatever we ordered was unavailable. The only thing we were able to get were wings, and Ramen of what we all ordered. They did not have the corn dip or the potatoes, although the waitress did take the order and did not report back until she put the order in. I was really bummed out because this was the first time that I had visited any of these restaurants. Anyhow, the Ramen was good and I was happy to be able to get it mild. The aesthetics of the restaurant very nice and apparently this is one of the easier locations to get into. I would definitely like to go back to try the other appetizers, but only if I am in the area. The Ramen itself was delicious. I really enjoyed it. I loved the noodles and they are house made, which is very nice to know. The waitress was very sweet although I wish she had known the first place that we couldn't order those particular appetizers because I really had my palate set on it. Oh well!

Amazing food my favorite of all is the Wings hands down best I have ever had I come up to Orlando from Miami not to go to Disney but to eat here. Ambiance is nice and the service is great. I don't want to single out the Ramen Plates bc the are all Amazing. Definitely great place to eat. Can't wait to go again next month.

Five stars, through and through. There are a lot of different ramen options here and they are all delicious. The noodles are handmade, and the pork melts in your mouth. I also loved the array of toppings that you could order. Every single bite of food was delicious here: the kimchi, Korean style wings, egg, tofu, and even the ice cream were delicious. I like that this was a first come first serve, no reservations spot. One of my favorite parts of the experience was our server, David. David was friendly, knowledgeable, and could not have been nicer or more accommodating to our unreasonable asks. I also think he has a knack for business: my friend wanted to order a cheaper drink, but got suckered into a more expensive Japanese whiskey. I'm half joking, because he definitely loved it and did not regret it at all. I'm excited to come back and try the other ramen. Our party ordered three different types and they were all delicious. The most special thing on the menu was something I have never seen before: they take a half boiled egg that is nicely marinated, and they put brown sugar on it. Then, they torch it so it's like a crème brûlée on top of a half cooked egg. So, so good.

Been here for the first time in January 2020 and came back here again in March 2024 - had great food then and great food again recently! Didn't write a review then, but after coming here again, I feel like I've reconnected with a long-lost lover. Their food, service, and interior have been consistent since my last visit. Ramen (tonkotsu and vegan) was delicious and consistent to the good ones I've had in New York City. The menu seems to have changed slightly, and I was happy to see their unique creative plates. I tried their egg dish and the krabby patty new Asian bun (not pictured because I was quite famished from walking in universal earlier and devoured it). Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're visiting and in the area!

Step into Domu, and you're transported to a whole new vibe! This place is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. The bar/lounge area offers a perfect spot to wait for your table or enjoy a quick solo bite, adding to the cool and relaxed atmosphere. The design and setup of Domu are nothing short of super cool, creating an ambiance that feels like a departure from Orlando's usual scene. And let's talk about the food - it's pretty amazing! The Domu Wings are a must-try; crispy and flavorful, they always leave you craving more. And don't even get me started on their ramen options - they're out of this world! Now, a word of advice: Domu's popularity means that wait times can be lengthy at times, so it's wise to plan accordingly. But trust me, the wait is absolutely worth it for the culinary journey that awaits you inside. In summary, Domu is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. With its hip ambiance, delicious food, and stellar ramen options, it's a spot that's sure to leave you coming back for more. Follow my IG for more foodie content! @alienlola @hangrymemories

A warm hug in a bowl! This was the second Domu location I've been to. The wait was around 45 mins so I found a spot at the bar while I waited for some friends. The bartender was super nice and asked if I wanted a beverage while I waited for my table. I had an Asahi. It's my favorite of regular bottled beer and for $5 for a glass who am I to turn down that deal. When my friends arrived, they also ordered a couple of drinks and before we knew it, our table was ready. The server came right to us after we were seated and we ordered the Domu wings and our bowls of ramen. The wings came out almost immediately they were crispy and sauced appropriately. I didn't get a photo because we grabbed them right away. Shortly, after that, it was Ramen time. The broth was rich, and I could taste every single flavor that went in that bowl. The noodles were cooked perfectly not too mushy. Our server was superintend. I've extremely pleasant to talk to you and this is what makes me wanna come back all the time. I think I like this location over the Winter Park location when it comes to space there was plenty of seating and it didn't seem like we were on top of other folks. 5 stars.

Yikes. I was so excited to eat here-- truthfully, I've been hearing about Domu since relocating to central Florida. Apparently, they are known more for their wings than ramen (which i didn't know until after); however, my understanding was that they make their noodles in house, so I'm super surprised to hear this The ramen was lackluster... Totally felt short in every single way. The noodles were sticky and almost gooey. The broth was mediocre at best. I took two bites and left the rest. The service was fine... And the restaurant itself was clean and put together. I also had a wonderful drink, which is why it's been given two stars instead of one. I would like to go back to try the wings. Hopefully my score will increase with that! I know there is another location as well. Maybe I will have more luck there.

Highly recommend getting the DOMU Wings and Kimchi!!! Both are so flavorful and so FRESH! The place is a little on the smaller side and they tend to get busy fast so I recommend getting there at a decent time if you're going for dinner. Overall good experience. Will definitely be back!

Sat at the bar as there was a little wait for a table, and service was impeccable at the bar. Was able to talk with bartenders about drinks and was thoroughly impressed with the service. The menu is opened by scanning your camera, which I think is a great idea. Ordered two cocktails and a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. First drink was a Kyoto Mule, their take on a Moscow mule, which was really good. Mug was smaller than most mules, but was still very flavorful. Next came the Lychee Martini- little sweeter, but well balanced due to the vodka. The boba was a nice surprise in this drink. The Ramen was everything ramen is supposed to be. Wonderfully flavored broth with hand made noodles. I tend to like the pork belly to be charred, so was a little disappointed- but it was a huge piece, and wasn't half fat/ as many often are. Reasonable prices and great service make this a must stop.

Our group experience at DOMU-Dr. Phillips was great. Our group tried the Domu Wings, Tokyo, Ramen, and the vegan option. All were exceptional and had refreshing flavor profiles. Additionally, we tried kimchi rice and Thai tea. The Thai tea was well done. This place is popular so you will have to wait, and the atmosphere is comfortable but kind of loud. Still a must-visit place if you're a local!

Went to Domu tonight and while the chicken wings and ramen were amazing.. our server Hannah was not the nicest. We didn't get the usual hot towels, and every interaction felt like we were interrupting her time talking to her friends or using her phone. Not the best experience.

The decoration of this place is not your typical ramen place. I was standing outside and yet still not believe that is the place. The name is on the door. Luckily, I saw someone was eating ramen outside of the store which is also kind of cool that people can have outside seatings. The young lady Kimberly was great. She made sure we have everything we need and responsive. The Kimchi wings are very crispy with a glaze of sweet and spicy sauce on top and sprinkled with sesame. A little bit salty. I think it would be perfect if they can tune that down. Grilled Tako "octopus" was decent. It is mixed with some potatoes. Almost seems like we are cheated by how much octopus we have. Unfortunately, I had some really good one that very same day. I ordered the Tokyo ramen. The noodles are the right consistency, chewy and soft. I like what they did to the soft boiled eggs. They put some sugar and caramelized the top. The broth is okay. Maybe because it got covered by the core sauces or maybe the broth is lukewarm. I preferred noodles broth hot. Overall, this is a fun place to be. I know many people also ordered the noodles broth noodles. I think it would be better than their broth ones.

The food and service never disappoints. The ramen is out of this world but where Domu really stands out is the appetizers. The wings are incredibly crispy and packed with flavor. The cheezus is sweet and salty and the bread with it is warm and fresh. You will need to order more bread though, and it's a bit pricey for extra. You do have to get there right when they open, otherwise, you'll be waiting for hours. It's also really loud, but overall, they have good customer service and they get you in and out quick.

This is this second time my boyfriend has brought me to Domu because he SWEARS by their wings! This time we came on a weeknight around 8:30pm and sat at the bar. The staff was friendly and attentive and took our order promptly because we already knew what we came for lol The wings are the tastiest, crunchiest blend of sweet and spicy wings you'll find! So good! The vibe is overall relaxed and parking is a breeze as it's within a shopping complex. We will definitely be back :)

10/10 for Domu! I've been meaning to visit the Dr. Phillips location after an incredible experience at Domu's East End location and I can confirm it did not disappoint! We chose Bar seating to avoid a 50 minute wait for a booth and it was just as pleasant. Our Bartender was kind, gave great recommendations and prepared our drinks immediately. Ambiance-wise this location is a lot brighter. The setting at East End Market is much dinner and almost romantic bar-side. The Dr. Phillips location gives more friends and family vibes. It almost comes across as a modern parlor in design. The food and drinks were delicious and as consistent in presentation and preparation as East End. Our items this evening were the Richie Rich ramen bowl, fingerling bravas, kimchi and Lychee Martinis! The Richie Rich ramen bowl is incredible. The pork bone broth is one of one. Highly recommend adding an extra Ajitama (seasoned soft boiled egg) and Japanese Beech Mushrooms to the bowl. The Fingerling Bravas are a must order. The crispy quinoa on top packs a punch of flavor and every other ingredient marries together creating a must-taste experience. The kimchi was tasty and not too spicy. It paired nicely with the Fingerling Bravas to provide some heat. We were so full but our bartender gave us a sample of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream to try and tempt us with dessert. Although we were full, we did enjoy the samples and it was almost like having frozen espresso martinis just without the alcohol. The little chocolate chips were a perfect topper. There are many other items to taste so I'll certainly be back. If you haven't been to Domu yet, go tonight. You won't be disappointed.

Gotta say this is one special place. Go get some of their food here! We mostly tried their apps, but when we come back, ramen, ramen, ramen! Fingerling bravas, domu chicken wings, and CHEEZUS + SPICY PEPPERONI. Very, very good! More review on their ramen the next time we come back, but until then... "They're your taste buds! Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz

I have very high standards for Ramen so take my review with a grain of salt! I didn't love what I had, the Richie Rich, but it's because there was so much seasoning that it made the broth sort of grainy. The pork also had a distinct background taste. However, my partner got the curry and it was fantastic, so I recognize that I may have just gotten the wrong bowl! To drink I had the Catch Me If You Can. The first time it was made, it was okay. I tasted the cream on top and it sort of tasted sour.. the bartender was nice enough to make me another one and it actually tasted much better. I liked that it had the ambiance of a real noodle restaurant in Tokyo. Despite my 3 star rating, I would give it another shot!

Excelente amo o DOMU lugar incrível A única coisa que está deixando a desejar é a limpeza a última vez que eu fui a 1 mês atrás estava muito sujo o chão.

The service here was good, staff was very friendly. It was a very nice looking restaurant, we sat outside. The richie rich ramen was amazing !! 10/10 highly recommend, broth was very flavorful and very creamy. Tonkotsu ramen was very flavorful and it tasted amazing, and the noodles for both soups were so creamy and smooth, best noodles i have ever tried ! I dont recommend the wings, the flavor was good, however the texture of the breading was crispy but felt stale at the same time. Lastly we had the taro icecream, it was the best taro icecream i ever had, highly recommend, it was my favorite thing i had there ,overall, great experience !

DOMU completely exceeded our expectations! Delivering on both amazing service and food, we were beyond excited to have discovered this place. The vibe, the quality of food , the prices... you really can't go wrong here. Every single dish we ordered was delicious and to top it off- the drinks were on point too. We highly recommend the wings (super crispy and perfectly sauced), the Cheezus ( think elote, but not overly rich or heavy) and all the ramen! The home made noodles are fire and the broth is loaded with flavor. If you are in the Orlando area, definitely give this place a try.

Great atmosphere, excellent food, friendly service. Can't wait to visit here again. Pretty new establishment and went on the recommendation of a friend. The Richie Rich Ramen was . If you hit happy hour you can score a discount on drinks too!

weve been here 2yrs ago and i can say the food is still great.the service is great. the place have a good calm vibe. i still recommend this place for a good ramen!

If you know me, then you know this is my all time favorite restaurant. I've been an avid Domu lover since 2018! The ramen is always good, the wings are always crispy and bursting with the flavor.

Love the original spot. This one's just as good. Would recommend Richie rich ramen and the kimchi. I'm a big fan

Domu is a favorite for my ramen cravings. Their ramen is rich in flavor, especially with added spice bombs. My favorite is the Richie Rich and Black Tonkotsu w/ a spice bomb. Don't forget the delicious, in-house-made Thai tea. It's cheaper to buy a sizeable Thai tea as opposed to getting smalls, so indulge. The customer service is unmatched. Attentive and helpful, always. At Dr. Philips, there is always a wait, but there is a bar for hanging by to wait--never too long. Ice cream changes weekly. When horchata is the flavor--MAX out, it is rich and delicious. 10 out of 10.

Yikes, DOMU was a miss. We're in Orlando, FL for a few days and we stopped by DOMU for dinner and it was a disappointment. The wait for a table was about 20 min so we meandered to Publix next door to kill time. Our table was ready and we were seated but we didn't get our order taken for about 15 min. Then we ordered the Grilled Octopus, Chicken Karage, Richie Rich Ramen, and Yuzu Chicken Ramen. Our food didn't come out for about 40 min which is wayyy too long for a bowl of ramen. The fried chicken batter was overdone, which made the skin very hard inedible, so we had to take the skin off and just eat the chicken. Octopus was pretty good, and the ramen was subpar. I also ordered the Gin Cocktail which was nice, but because the food was average, I didn't enjoy the cocktail as much as I would have liked. Overall, the ambiance was modern and chic but the food was a miss for us. I think we're just spoiled with good ramen in LA and also having visited Japan, so we had high standards coming in. Wouldn't return in the future, but I can see what they are trying to achieve here and kudos to them for establishing a modern Ramen shop here in Orlando. It was very busy!

Whenever I think DOMU, I think East End Market. But maybe it's time I think about their other location off of Sand Lake Road. I can appreciate the bigger parking lot, seemingly shorter wait time, same menu, but add the adorable aesthetics.

We were excited to try out Domu for the first time last night. For us, it was about an hour and a half drive to get here from Tampa just to have the Ramen and the chicken wings. The chicken wings were delicious, we ordered both types, the Domu and the original wings. The wings were amazing, so flavorful and crunchy at the same time. We liked it so much that we ordered the same dishes twice. The ramens were also good. The broth was perfectly cooked (not salty) the pork char siu was thich and tenders. The egg was delicious as well. However, the noodles were slightly overcooked. We still enjoyed the ramen very much, it wasn't that bad. Hopefully next time, the noodle situation is corrected. The restaurant is nicely decorated and cleaned. The staff is friendly and attentive. We definitely will come back again the next time when we are back in the area to try out other dishes.

I really wanted to like Domu more and maybe we just hit them on an off night. We were expecting to have to wait and when we arrived we were told 30-45 minutes. We grabbed a table outside and some free water from inside. It took us over an hour to get a table and once inside the service was very slow. The restaurant was also incredibly loud and we could hardly hear each other or our waiter. Our waiter was very friendly, but it seemed like he may have had a lot of tables as it took awhile for him to show up at first and most of the service was slow. We ordered their famous chicken appetizer and some ramen. The appetizer was okay, but we didn't think they were anything special. The sauce was really tasty but it seemed like they may have been a bit over cooked as the breading tasted a bit burnt. All of the food took a while to come out. The ramen was tasty! We much preferred the Richie Rich and weren't super impressed with the Tonkotsu, but it was also good. They have thinner noodles than we prefer but they are all handmade which is really awesome. It took awhile to finally get our check and escape to the quiet of outside. We all felt satisfied overall with the food, but it was nothing special and with the long wait and loud atmosphere this will not be a restaurant we frequently visit.

Came here on an extremely stormy Tuesday night, and there was still a big line of people outside waiting to try this Michelin rec'd ramen place. Luckily I was dining sololy, so I was able to snatch a corner of the bar and order. Domu had happy deals for drinks on Tuesday nights, but I wasn't really in the mood to drink after getting soaked from the rain. I got the spicy curry ramen and cheezus for a total of $30 which was pretty affordable! The spicy curry soup really hit the spot and provided the spice and savoriness that I really was craving, while the cheezus satisfied my guilty pleasure of cheese pulls. The bread that came with the cheezus was well seasoned as well, and I wish I had more of it since dipping it in the spicy curry soup and then topping it off with some cheezus was a good flavor combo. Initially I wanted to get extra broth for $5 to go to save my leftover noodles, but after sitting around waiting for 20+ minutes and no broth, I gave up and left. This turned out to be a pro move, since the leftover noodles actually tasted better cold! Maybe it's because the noodles were thin and flavored already from the soup, but it tasted even better than when it was warm, which was a pleasant surprise :)

What a find for us on our trip to Orlando! We were staying near the convention center and most restaurants in that area are chains. My daughter is a big ramen fan, so we looked for something nearby and found this gem. We started with their fingerling potatoes (excellent!) and she had the Tokyo ramen and I had the curry. Both were fantastic! Also, Tuesdays are all day happy hour there, and I was enjoying $8 old fashioneds (normally, I'd have some sake with ramen, but damn, $8 for a great cocktail, yes please!). Service was great, too. Can't recommend this place enough!

On a Saturday night, this little restaurant in a shopping plaza is super popular. I was waiting for a table (30 ish min wait) when a spot opened up at the bar to sit. It was difficult to choose which ramen to go for but decided to stick to a tonkotsu. The eggs were perfect and the ajitima brulee was seasoned well. I thought the chasu was going to be rough given how thick they were, but it was so tender and flavorful. I should had ordered extra as it was so good. The broth was also rich and flavorful, but way too thick. If the broth was a bit more liquid, it would had made everything perfect. Either way...this was still a top notch ramen. On the side, I had a cheezus as the other photos/posts made it hard to say no. It's enough for 2 or 3 people to try as an appetizer. Super cheesy, corn was good, and that crisp of cheese on the edge on the bread was just tasty. I would totally return to try another ramen.

First time in Florida and yes, immediately I would come back. I hate being the table to come in and hr before closing BUT this was our last night before we all parted and it was the best place that we've been too the whole trip. From the service to the vibe to the food. DOMU is a MUST TRY. You won't regret it.

Michelin Guide recognized Ramen and Chicken Wings?!?!? Enough said!!! That's exactly what DOMU brings to the table. Located in an upscale shopping center in the Dr. Philips suburb of Orlando, DOMU is unassuming from the outside. However, with their first come, first serve reservation system, you need to be among the first to get there without having to wait in line. That's what we were able to do on a rainy Thursday at 5PM during our trip to the Gulf Coast and Central Florida. Long story short, everything here is amazing! I have not had Ramen and Chicken Wings like this in Miami. Specifically, we had and enjoyed the following dishes: - Old Fashioned - ($8 for Happy Hour), made with Cinnamon Syrup and Chocolate Bitters. - Wasabi Ginger Margarita - ($8 for Happy Hour), definitely had the taste of wasabi and ginger but was not too spicy! - House Sake- ($6 for Happy Hour), ordered hot. We were able to enjoy the 250 mL provided throughout our meal. - Domu Wings- ($13), comes in an order of 6. We really wanted to order another round! The kimchi butter these wings are served with is EVERYTHING!!! - Tako - ($13) grilled octopus dish served with yuzu mayo and some crispy potatoes. The octopus was cooked well, but if I could go back in time, we'd order a second round of Domu Wings instead. - Cheezus with Spicy Pepperoni- ($11.5) a melted mozzarella cheese dip with corn, pepperoni, and Japanese spices, served with a baguette of bread. This was another appetizer that we wanted to order another round of. The name of the dish and flavors are very self explanatory. So good! - Richie Rich- ($16) this is their most popular Ramen on the menu. Made with Miso-Shoyu Pork Bone Broth, Chashu, Scallions, & Fried Garlic. This Ramen broth was so rich in flavor. Paired with a fried egg and the pieces of pork it came with, we were more than able to split this Ramen between ourselves. The pork and the rest of the ingredients were of high quality. Best Ramen I've had and easily rivals what my fiancée had while studying up in Washington DC, per her. We dream of a DOMU location being opened in Miami! Can't wait for our next visit to Central Florida to enjoy this unique gem once more. Based on the meal we had at this Dr. Philips location, the 2023 Bib Gourmand this restaurant earned for the original location (East End) is surely more than well-deserved! This is a must for anyone visiting the area!

Our first visit was great, aside from the hour wait to get seated. Being that my daughter accompanied us we were not able to sit at the bar. I will say the drinks are so good! The food is just as delicious and I will definitely be coming back again.

Only reason I'm giving 5 stars is because my boyfriend moaned with every bite of his Richie Rich Ramen. He couldn't stop saying, "This is some GOOD ramen!" The broth was very flavorful and the ramen noodles are good too - thin and long. My ramen was the Tonkotsu - spicy. I got the pork on the side and added fried tofu. Wouldn't recommend this ramen. Not much flavor except for spicy. We also got the wings, and although they were very crunchy (on another level) and had a nice sweet and spicy sauce, I wouldn't say they were the BEST (they were awarded Orlando's best wings 2023 though). The place is cute and has a modern bar vibe. Service was fine - our server answered our questions of what some menu items were. Would go back for the Richie rich ramen.

This bowl was soooo good. The broth had so much flavor and the noodles had a great texture. Not too soft. Thai iced tea always hits the spot

We tried some of their most popular items. The wings were a hit the crunchy sweet and flavorful wings had a unique flavor and crunch. We really enjoyed them. We also tried the peppers which were delightful as well. We didn't care for the street corn with bread, we thought it would be better with tortilla chips or lime flavored tortilla chips. Our server Frankie let us try the Taro flavored Ice-cream for dessert that was stunning. The ambiance was nice the restaurant was full so be prepared to be on a wait list and they don't do to go orders. We can't wait to come back and try more items.

We came in with 6 kids under 7 and 13 adults and were seated outside together amazingly. Service was timely and so kind. We got the wings, shishito peppers, cold pressed tofu, chasu rice bowl, Richie rich ramen, cold dipping ramen, and spicy tonkatsu. The chasu was cut a bit too thick and not soft for the ramen. The wings were devoured. I loved the shishito peppers and the cold pressed tofu. My sister loved the rice bowl. The rice was warm and the chasu was minced. Ask for it non-spicy or spice on the side. I had the cold dipping ramen with some yuzu oil on the side. If you don't love ikura, I would avoid this dish. I LOVE ikura so it was a win for me. The Richie rich broth was indeed, rich and comforting.

It was good enough to satisfy your ramen craving. I am used to ramen establishments from New York, if I had to compare this is a few notches down. The staff were very friendly, the place caught me by surprise. It looked fancier than I expected.

Food was sooo delicious. Enjoyed the Ramen bowl. The service was nice. The atmosphere was pretty chill and laid back. Great experience.
