"Enter Chef/owner Sean "Sonny" Nguyen's trendy ramen haven and you'll find two rooms dressed with concrete floors, a marble bar and wood panels set aglow by a starburst light fixture. The second room cradles the bulk of the crowd. As the name illustrates, this chef makes his culinary "dreams come true" by dint of a classic-meets-creative menu. Beyond the small plates lies the star item—ramen. Creations, like the Ritchie Rich and Curry, are full of bold, memorable flavors and certainly worth a slurp. Tokyo ramen with shoyu chicken broth, fried chicken thigh and duck fat is a sensory feat. Couple it with blistered shishitos for a delicious touch—and bit of crunch.It's all in the family here as sib Tori Tori flaunts a similarly creative izakaya menu." - Michelin Inspector
"An Orlando restaurant whose chef, Sean “Sonny” Nguyen, was named a semifinalist in the Best Chef category." - Missy Frederick

"Orlando’s bespoke ramen movement made a literal splash in 2016 with Domu ladling bowls of creative and classic renditions inside the East End Market. In the years since, chef/owner Sonny Nguyen has expanded noodle operations, opening a Domu in Dr. Phillips and a quick-casual ramen concept – Domu Chibi – near UCF. Pork bones boiled down for 18 hours makes for a heady tonkatsu, though a shoyu ramen with fried chicken thighs offers an equally luxuriant slurp with the addition of ajitama brulée and duck fat. Noodles are made in-house to boot. Oh, the crispy wings coated in kimchi butter are no joke." - Faiyaz Kara
"Bib Gourmand. Japanese izakaya fare and ramen inside East End Market in Winter Park. A la carte menu available." - Olee Fowler
