   We had a bizarre and unfortunately terrible experience. We have eaten there many times not typical of our previous experiences, but hard to say what the future looks like. I had a reservation, but it took 15 minutes for them to seat us. The ceiling or vent work above our table was coated with cooking residue and began to drip on our napkins and menus. It was pretty gross. We were moved to a new table. Someone took our drink order and promptly got it wrong. They custom poured a drink we have had multiple times so we recognize right away that what was being poured was not what we ordered. They took them away, but obviously reused the drink shakers because the new drinks looked mostly like what we wanted but tasted terrible and like ingredients of the last drink. Then, we were just forgotten. Completely ignored. Other tables were seated around us. And they were fed. Then they left. We were still sitting there without any food. It was not until we basically decided to bail on the meal instead of to leave the people figured it out. We waited almost 2 hours from arrival time to being fed. It was terrible and bizarre.

   The food was wonderful as always, but the experience was lacking. I was disappointed that I had included in the reservation snd told the waiter it was my daughters birthday. In the past there had been a lovely acknowledgement. This night there was nothing there was a lack of energy and fun that we had always enjoyed in the past.

   This was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and they made accommodations for us as we wanted to be in a private area. Outstanding sushi!! Our waiter was so accommodating he even brought us a decorative small fruit platter for dessert! We highly recommend this place for any occasion! 😄👏🎉💛

    Service. Jin (sp) was was very good. The hibachi chef had been there for 25+ years and unfortunately didn't "entertain" as much as we have experienced before or from other places like Kiku. Threw one shrimp, did the steam volcano and flipped the rice bowl. The hibachi food was bland, sushi was very good however.

    Horrible. They did not honor our reservation and we waited forever until another guest told us they were leaving for the same reason. The entire half of the restaurant we were seated on had no food or drink and no one was waiting on us .

    We used to love Domo 77 for the food, chef's entertaining, laughter and fun while having a meal. This time was different, everything was prepared quickly, food was OK, but the hibachi experience was missing. We would probably look for another place in the future.

    We did Steak Hibachi. The soup was very good, the salad mediocre. The shrimp and sauces quite tasty. However the steak was over cooked and flavorless as were the vegetables. Service was good. The grill master was entertaining, however our group was there for dinner, not the ‘show’. Thus was a bad choice for our group. 4 out of 5 of us has the steak. The final member of the group had sushi. He enjoyed his selection.

    My family went to celebrate my son’s 8th birthday. We had a 7:30 reservation. At 9:30, after waiting two hours without ever having a chef come to our table, we couldn’t wait any longer and had to leave. One of my kids had fallen asleep, literally on the table, and the birthday boy was on the verge of tears from hunger and being tired. I completely understand places being short staffed these days but this was completely unacceptable. Either don’t pack the restaurant full with patrons, or give them the proper expectation that it may be 2-3 hours before you actually get to eat. Very disappointing. We’ve been going to Domo for decades and I can’t say if we will ever go back.

    It was just ok. We were confused when we were seated to “wait” and then the hostess jetted off when asked to follow her to our table. The food was cooked very quickly so the usual tricks and entertainment you expect to see were lackluster. Overall, I’d probably go to any other hibachi before I return. The Monster sushi roll was good!

    We wouldn’t choose to go ANYWHERE else for sushi or Japanese table cooking. The owners are wonderful and always make us feel so very welcome. The specialty sushi rolls are my favorite but all of them are delicious and prepared with accuracy. We had a wonderful waiter who kept the drinks coming and all of our food at a good pace. We cannot wait to return!

    We’ve been going to Domo 77 since the 1980’s for all our special family dinners. Celebrating birthdays and anniversaries since then. Last night was by far the worst meal we’ve ever eaten there. First it felt like we were being rushed as the Chef cooked our meal in a record time. Very fast and it w as so blah without seasoning. From the time we were seated he started cooking and us finishing it was 30 minutes. We ordered 3 filets and two were with the shrimp garlic pan. The meat was terribly under seasoned. The shrimp garlic pan was nothing like it used to be. Before it actually tasted like garlic butter with a very flavorful Panko breading. It used to be scooped from a bowl and you could tell it was butter and Panko. Now, it’s a thin rectangular block of yellow and tasteless. Also our tied rice was very greasy and tasteless as well. It was very disappointing and sadly our last visit to Domo 77 ever. Our children still talk about this restaurant but after last night our daughter also said this will also be her last visit. Sorry to see this one remaining Domo 77 fallen so far off their quality of the past. I can no longer give it any stars and I recommend passing.

    We made a reservation at 7pm and got there at 7pm however the restaurant was extremely understaffed and we were not seated until 30 minutes later. Once we were seated we proceeded to make our food order but the waiter serviced the food of other tables that gotten there AFTER us. The place is a hibachi restaurant so there was no reason for other tables to have gotten their food cooked for them before us (3 other tables were served before us). Long story short, 2 hours went by and we had still not gotten our food so we decided to leave without eating.

    Our reservation was at 715pm we arrived at 7pm. We were not seated until 815 and told our cook would be a hour to a hour and a half. I asked to order a drink and the waitress said no because we weren’t sure if we would be staying or leaving. We got up and left. No manager was ever brought out to us

    First of all, your app is a total crap and wasn’t synced with the restaurant. When reached the restaurant it was over booked and we were refused seating and told it was opentable mistake for showing open space. This completely ruined our Mother’s Day. I’m never using this app ever again.

    We had a reservation at 6pm but got there about 10 minutes early and we were seated quickly after they took our temperature. We got a hibachi table all to ourselves which was romantic. I ordered the peach maitai and scallops dinner. Husband ordered the garlic portobello mushrooms. Everything was delicious and fresh. The drink was fabulous! Will order that next time I’m there. This is one of our favorite date restaurants. I also love it for going out with friends.

    Pre-Covid, we used to go here all of the time. After not going to a restaurant for over a year, we decided to try it out. When we arrived for our 7 pm reservation, we had to wait 15 minutes to check in. We were not seated until 8:30! Once seated, we were quickly given our soup and drinks, but then we were asked to move to another table. At a new table, our chef did not come to cook our food until 9:30. All of the veggies were pre cut and there was no “show”. When I asked why there was no onion volcano or tossing of the shrimp tails, the chef said we were his 17th table and he was too busy. This was a very upsetting experience and we will most likely not return to this restaurant. They accept more reservations than they can handle and do not provide the experience that is expected for the cost of this food.
