Domo (どうも/도모) in Mainz

The food is very tasty and at least seems very authentically Korean :) It seems to be a family business, the owners speak Korean themselves and are very nice. The atmosphere is always very pleasant, it's not loud and you can have a good conversation! Highly recommended!

Small shop with very tasty food. I can't rate how authentic it is but everything I've eaten there so far tastes good. Some of the dishes are served sizzling hot in stone pots. Quite nicely decorated. However, I liked the restaurant's ambience more before the move. But there are always reasons for moving.

The attention of the staff was great, I was very satisfied, thank you to everyone.

Had a great experience at this cozy Korean restaurant. A good indicator of how good a non-german restaurant is, is the number of patrons from the country the cuisine is of - and right away we knew that the food was going to be good! And boy, was the food good! Flavourful, spicy and well presented - we had the Jeyukbokkum and Dolsotbibimbab, both were fantastic (especially the Jeyukbokkum). The restaurant also offers drinks such as sake and soju, all for very reasonable prices. The service was great as well. A fantastic addition to the culinary scene of Mainz!

Had dinner with friends and was still on my TO-EAT list. Spontaneous eating there sometimes works, but the service is very flexible. It took too long to order the food. I found the spiciness of the food and the low use of glutamate positive. I doubt whether everything is homemade.

I went to Mainz just to eat at this restaurant. I was going to arrive about 3 minutes late due to transportation issues, so I called if I can still order. The owner said that I could. Got the soondoobu jjigage and stir fried jae yuk. They were both good but as soup lover, the tofu soup really satiated my nutrients that was missing in my body the last several months from eating cafeteria food at work. I will go again.

The cook was in Germany. The taste and service are truly amazing.

The food is really good. Finally, the food that is described as “spicy” is actually spicy. The restaurant is also very reasonably priced. The ambience is okay, but it doesn't throw me off, but the service is very accommodating.

Food was decent! Staff was nice but please bring cash! They only accept cash

All the food was fantastic, and the staff, very friendly!

This is a Korean restaurant that reminds me of the atmosphere of old Korea. I liked that it was friendly. I ordered one menu, but I felt trusted when they recommended a different menu, saying it wasn't cooked in Korean style. My friend ordered soft tofu stew and it was spicy, seasoned just right, and delicious. I ordered dumplings and black bean noodles, but the dumplings were not frozen dumplings but homemade dumplings. The dumplings are a bit like steamed buns, but they are fried rather than steamed, so the texture is unique, but they also have their own taste. The black bean noodles are also delicious!

I was just eating there. Basically, I've eaten there before in the past. It was very good there. I'm not concerned about this one meal that I ordered. I should have eaten something I knew. What matters to me is that the waitress walked back and forth and saw clearly that I had barely touched the food. As a waitress, I would have asked whether it tasted good or not and if not, I would have taken the plate away and offered something else. Instead it was cleared away and I was cashed in cold turkey. And when I explained that unfortunately I didn't like it, I was told that I was the first person who didn't like it. That implies bad luck. Others like it. It's not about whether other guests or you find the food tasty, but whether the guest feels comfortable. This was not addressed. Therefore I will no longer visit the restaurant. Not because of the food, but because of the behavior.

Look delicious, very fast, inexpensive and friendly😊

The food here is very tasty and delicious. This time price-quality ratio is fine. But the service lacks attention. She forgot many times. Chairs and tables are very close to each other.

Very tasty food and attentive staff! I'd love to come back.

Tasty and fine, small restaurant, nice staff. Gladly again.

Cash only or EC card. Staff very friendly; food was good.

Decent little Korean place in a less busy corner of Mainz. Given how hard to get authentic Korean cuisine is to find in this city, we found ourselves coming back to the place every now and then, especially since the staff here is always so sweet and welcoming.

The Bulgogi was very good and even the lunch menu serve was huge. I could take home a small box.Owners were very nice and I tried Korean beer for the first time. The place was pretty small although nicely Korean-style decorated. The space in-between tables was narrow but for petite people like us it was enough.

A small family business, the food is delicious, service is very friendly, reservations are an advantage on weekends.

I'm traveling alone and tried to eat here, obviously by myself. They didn't want me to take up a table since I was solo dining. Never in my life have I heard of anything that absurd. I would have ordered plenty of they gave me a minimum amount I would need to spend. So so so rude!!!!

Kimchi stew yum yum. There is more tofu than meat. Hmph. There's kimchi in the stew, it's crazy. Kimchi and radish radish are served as side dishes. Thanks to you, since it’s a kimchi party, I’ll order a different menu next time.. 😌

It's one of my favourite restaurants in Mainz. They accept people until 9 or even 9.30 pm. The food is very good and the waiters are very nice!

I visited this place about two weeks ago and had a very bad experience with the older woman who serves there. When I entered with my kids, she showed us to a table but looked at us in a way that made us feel unwelcome. At first, I thought this might just be her usual behavior with customers. However, after our food arrived, a group of four people came in. She greeted them with a big smile and was very friendly, which shocked me. Throughout our meal, she continued to look at us in a way that made us uncomfortable. At one point, my 3-year-old daughter was playing with a pink bird-shaped tissue and accidentally ruined it. My son, sitting opposite her, grabbed a new tissue from another table to give to her as she started crying. Immediately, the older woman came over, took the tissue, and put it back on it. This made me very angry, and I requested the bill so we could leave as soon as possible. No matter how good the food is, proper behavior is essential. I will not be visiting this “garbage” again.

The food was very, very tasty and the service was perfect. Everyone is super sweet and nice!!! I recommend it 1000%

A very nice restaurant. The food is delicious! Highly recommended :)

Very nice service and delicious food 😍

The food was great! I enjoyed the atmosphere

I saw the team right in front of me paying by credit card, but they turned off the credit card machine because they were alone and lied and said that EC card payment is not possible at the moment. It would have been okay if they had asked me to understand that only a certain amount of card payments would be accepted. The food wasn't bad, but the service was disappointing. As for the side dish, I don't know if they only gave me one side dish, kkakdugi (radish radish kimchi), because I'm Korean, or if this was the only side dish that was originally served. I didn't order the lunch menu, I ordered the regular menu, but it's a bit weird to only get radish radish as a side dish.

Delicious food and nice ambience

I was in the restaurant a couple of times. The food is okay, although sometimes a little greasy, but the sushi was always nice. The only complaint is that there could be more (interesting) sauces served with sushi

The food was delicious and the owners and employees are all very nice, polite and accommodating. The Korean dishes in particular were an absolute highlight. Both the inside and the outside of the building are very old and could use some fresh air, but that doesn't change the excellent food and the really fair prices. Absolute recommendation! kamsahamnida!

Good food, interesting combination of sushi and small warm dishes,

Authentic delicious cuisine, definitely go and try it. Clear recommendation. We got a table quite spontaneously and it was delicious. We'd love to come back!

Authentic Korean dishes. Unfortunately, since we didn't have a reservation, we only got 60 minutes for dinner here on a Friday. It no longer feels relaxing. That's why it's better to call and reserve in advance. The service was attentive but not intrusive. However, what left a strange aftertaste was the fact that we didn't receive an invoice or receipt (we were told verbally about the amount to be paid) and you could only pay in cash.

Very good food and a calm and friendly atmosphere! I think the bathroom needs a little TLC, we should think about fixing it up a little, a little renovation would be a good idea.....

Very nice service and amazing food for an unbeatable price :)

Nice restaurant, good service, delicious food. However (supposedly) no payment with EC card and invoice only upon request...

Super delicious food and great employees! Only recommended!

The food is delicious. Me and my friend really like to visit this restaurant at lunch time as they have very fair lunch deals. We love the bulgogi there!!! It's awesome. The boss is very nice and the restaurant is beautifully decorated in traditional Korean style. 5 Stars!

Traditional Korean cuisine, restaurant rather simple but very good. I've been enjoying going there for years.

Best Korean restaurant in Mainz!

Kimchi pancake is really delicious The bibim naengmyeon is completely Korean style and so delicious.

It tasted very good here. The boss is very good.

Nice service, very tasty food, price performance and quality. The salad was super tasty. A small drawback, I would have liked my food to have been a bit warmer. Otherwise everything was OK. Thank you.

It was my first time here and it felt really cozy. The waitress was very attentive to us. The food is also very delicious and filling enough for 2 people. I also enjoyed drinks and dessert.

Delicious Korean food. Unfortunately, there are also some things that are not eaten that way in Korea. Prices are ok.

Great food! We were all very enthusiastic about the Korean dishes. It was very tasty and fresh. There are hardly any vegetarian main courses on the menu, but we were able to cancel the meat without any problem :) the service was very, very nice. Price-performance was also great! We'd love to come back :)

The food and service are the best. Moreover, I was very grateful that you thought of customers in trouble as if it were your own business and resolved the issue.

Our experience here was alright. Although nothing to brag about. The food was a mixture of very satisfying and 'meh'. Their tempura was quite oily, but main dish portions were large. The main dishes we had were filling, delicious, and quite authentic. Although it wasn't spicy even whilst we ordered the spicy dishes. Drinks were priced on the higher end of the scale. Sadly, the ginseng with honey tea was really only honey water, maybe the ginseng was forgotten, but we still paid the price of ginseng tea. The price range of Domo varied quite widely. The food did take awhile to be served, but perhaps the cooking process takes awhile. Service was excellent, the owner and her family were very friendly and attentive. They were polite and pretty quick with their service abilities. Domo is quite a small restaurant, with a very limited number of seats. They have an atmosphere of an older themed restaurant mixed with some South Korean touch. Tables are quite close to each other, so don't expect to have much personal space at the tables. They did get pretty busy towards the night, so a reservation would be highly recommended. But if you went just as they opened, you'd probably get a seat.

Sehr süß eingerichtet und außerordentlich lecker.

Sehr lecker. Unfassbar nette und freundliche Mitarbeiter. Angenehme Atmosphäre. Top Preisleistungsverhältnis. Aufjedenfall weiterzuempfehlen!

Richtig tolles Restaurant mit wirklich authentisch koreanischen Speisen. Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal hier und können es nur empfehlen. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr einladend und auch im koreanischen Stil. Das Essen war gut und man kann sogar viele vegetarische Varianten wählen. Super. Man sollte allerdings gerade am Wochenende (Fr, Sa) reservieren, da es schon voll wird.

A true gem! Delicious food combined with very attentive service and a convenient location in the city of Mainz.

Very nice staff and very tasty Korean food

Ich verstehe die positiven Rezensionen nicht, vielleicht habe ich das Falsche bestellt. Mir wurde jedenfalls als "Jeyukbokkum" in Austersauce ertränktes Schwein mit Gemüsepaprika serviert. Koreanisch war das nicht.

음식도 맛있고 아이가 짜장면 맛있다고 해서 갈때마다 짜장면 먹었네요 ㅋ 사장님도 친절하세여 ^^

Tolles authentisches koreanisches Essen zu top Preisen. Alles frisch und lecker, Service immer total nett!

This is my favourite restaurant in Mainz. So far I have tried the pork belly korean bbq, kimchi jeon and the sundubu. The quality of the ingredients makes this place stand out: fresh perilla leaves, homemade kimchi, soft tofu, I could go on. Its a fun experience eating the sides and the rice come in little metal containers! I am looking forward to trying other soups and stews.

Das Ambiente ist etwas altbacken, doch das wiegt der freundlich-flotte Service und die gute Küche auf. Hier lässt sich tadellos und genussvoll koreanisch und japanisch speisen. Ein Wiederkommen ist keine Frage!

New owners, space a bit tight, but still excellent Korean/Japanese menus. Popular so recommend get reservation during weekend nights.

여기 일주일에 2번 왔습니다 최고 카드결제 비자.마스터 안됨 독일현지 은행계좌 ok 현금챙겨가세요 김치.된장 음식 다 맛있어요

Ein super Restaurant. Man wurde sofort fröhlich begrüßt und wir konnten ohne Probleme bestellen. Das Personal war sehr lieb. Nach nicht all zu langer Wartezeit kam unser Essen. Wir hatten ein schönes, kuscheliges Ambiente und alle waren zufrieden mit ihrem Essen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war auch gut. Es ist auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen!

Authentisch und schmackhaft ohne Geschmacksverstärker. Man fühlt sich ehrlich wie bei der Muttersküche. Abends wird das Restaurant sehr schnell voll, also lieber reservieren oder früh genug dasein.

De la mejor cocina asiática/koreana que he probado. Ambiente acogedor. Y los dueños son simpatiquísimos

The food is soo filling in terms of taste. We ordered Maultaschen Suppe and Gemüse Ramyun and both the dishes taste absolutely perfect. If you're looking for a quick, light yet fulfilling food this is the right place for you.

Sehr kleines Lokal also ich würde auf jeden Fall Tisch reservieren da es nach 18 Uhr viel los ist. Essen ist sehr lecker und authentisch.

Super freundliches Personal, hochqualitatives Essen und sehr große Portionen. Die Toilette war sauber. Toll sind auch die Wahlmöglichkeit zwischen Koreanisch und Japanisch und die sehr abwechslungsreiche, große Karte. Hier bleiben keine Wünsche offen! Danke nochmals für die freundliche Bedienung unserer großen Gruppe! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Tolles Essen! Jederzeit wieder!

Sehr leckeres Essen. Service einfach super. Wir waren eine große Gruppe, dennoch hat die Bedienung sich die Zeit genommen um auf alle Fragen einzugehen. Ich komme gerne wieder

Bester Koreaner, bei dem ich bisher war! Extrem nettes und hilfsbereites Personal, extrem leckeres und authentisches japanisches und koreanisches Essen und eine große abwechslungsreiche Karte.

Super koreanisches Essen für mitteleuropäische Gaumen angepasst. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Der Kimchi ist hervorragend.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und kam sehr schnell! Die Kellnerinnen sind sehr freundlich, das Lokal ist klein, aber sehr nett. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder hier essen, es ist ein verstecktes Juwel in Mainz, das einen Besuch wert ist.

Sehr gutes und authentisches Essen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis vom Mittagsmenü ist top. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Hmmm very average~ I certainly had a lot better Korean foods before, so i could say this one has nothing special. Beside the unique interior, fully korean decorated in such an old German building, hehe very interesting! The place is quite small, but they have a lot of tables, make it seems even smaller, and the space between tables were very small. The waitress was nice and friendly, though i think she was confused whether she needs to speak English or German bc me and my friends were speaking both😂 I had vegetarian Kimbap (8/10) it was good, will be better if they had bulgogi Kimbap as well. Then i had Bibim Naengmyeon, it was a spicy cold noodles (8,5/10) super nice, i like it, big portion and taste just like the way it should be. My friend had a vegetarian Udon (6,5/10) tbh, super plain, has no taste at all. I didn‘t like it. Another friend had Kimchi Jjigae (7/10) was too sour, i know it‘s from the kimchi, but apart from sour they have no other flavor in it. Another friend had Naengmyeon (8/10) but i prefer the spicy one. The Banchan (6/10) disappointed me a lot. Banchan in Korean cuisine suppose to be very good, so you would even eat them with only rice, but it wasn‘t the case. I didn‘t like their both kimchi, i told them it tasted like a very old kimchi which you couldn‘t even eat them anymore, but they said it was new made, i‘m not so sure though. I personally don‘t like lotus, so i didn‘t even try theirs. Price was average, it‘s okay. You can pay with EC Card or cash.

Selten so Gut gegessen, wie im Domo!! Das war 💯 nicht unser letzter Besuch! Schönes Ambiente, Superherzlicher Service und auf den Punkt zubereitetes Essen!! Ein " MUST VISIT"!!!

Tolles Restaurant! Das Essen ist sehr lecker, scharf und würzig! Die Portionen sind sehr gut! Ich bin gerne hier vor allem, weil die Restaurantbesitzer*Innen und die Bedingungen sehr freundlich sind. In Mainz und Umgebung einfach das beste Koreanische Restaurant! Ich komme sehr, sehr gerne wieder!

Extrem freundlich, schnell und lecker. Eines der besten Restaurants in ganz Mainz und Umgebung!

Außerordentlich gutes koreanisches Essen zu fairen Preisen. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend, und dennoch sofort zur Stelle für Beratung und offen für Smalltalk. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Ein nettes Restaurant. Die Speisen sind nicht besonders, aber trotzdem gut und lecker. Die Bedienung ist super freundlich. Für die Hungrigen ganz gut geeignet.

Excelente japonés - lugar coreano. La comida era fantástica y el servicio excepcional. Conseguimos nuestra comida y bebida muy rápido. Muy recomendable para visitar.

Wir gehen hier regelmäßig hin - das Essen ist immer von gleichbleibender Frische und Qualität, der Service von Chef & Chefin sehr charmant! Einzig das Ambiente könnte mal eine Auffrischung vertragen. Unbedingt koreanische Klassiker und Spezialitäten und Sushi probieren!

Sehr gutes Essen ,frisch vorbereitet.Preislich eher in den oberen Segment aber zweifellos lecker. Zumindest das Mittagsmenü kann sich jeder leisten.Zentral in Zentrum von Mainz somit keine Parkmöglichkeiten.Bedienung freundlich , schnell und vorgenommen.

This place is a Korean and Japanese place but do only eat their Korean food as the owners are Korean themselves. Their Korean food tastes really good and the Kimchi was very nice. If you want a break from European food, this is the place to go!

Bylismy w Domo na Naszej malej rocznicy. Zamiwilismy zestaw dla dwojga, cena troche wyzsza niz w internecie ale coz. Zestaw okazal sie pyszny i sycacy. Na deser zamowilismy przepyszne kulki sezamowe. Kazdy stolik ma dzwonek by zawolac kelnera co jest bardzo praktyczne.

Me and my friend were super excited to eat some fried noodles with vegetables and fried duck, but what we got was the most blend tasting veggies, literal spaghetti NOT EGG BASED NOODLES, SPAGHETTI and fried fat of the duck, also they weren't fried at all. We also ordered some sushi which was just bad. You could tell none of the ingredients were fresh, we were served multiple butt parts of the sushiroll and an Okay tasting miso soup. On top of all of that we had to pay almost 50€ for two orders neither of us could finish. We definitely won't visit this restaurant again.

Der Service war am ersten Eröffnungstag nach dem Urlaub noch etwas unkoordiniert. So mussten wir die zweite Portion unserer Speise selber am Tisch braten. Lediglich der Gaskocher wurde uns kurz eingeschaltet. Die Auswahl an schmackhaftem koreanischen Essen ist groß. Die Preise sind angemessen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Tipp: Unbedingt mal das koreanische Lager-Bier namens "Hite" probieren. Das schmeckt sehr gut. Außerdem kann man ums Eck bei der "Zeitungsente" u.a. auch das Essen vom Domo + zusätzlich weiterer Restaurants der Gegend bekommen (Fisch, Döner, Italienisch und Indisch), da die Zeitungsente keine eigene Küche besitzt und man so von den Nachbarlokalen aus deren offizieller Karte das Essen ordern darf. Eine tolle Zusammenarbeit!

Sehr gutes Essen auch wenn es laut den Freunden aus Korea nicht komplett authentisch ist. Trotzdem sehr gut und sehr zu empfehlen.

Samstag Abend mussten wir lange auf das Essen warten. Schweinefleisch für 2 am Tisch gegrillt mit zahlreichen koreanischen Beilagen war köstlich, einfach wie in Südkorea. Warum Leute in ein koreanisches Restaurant gehen und dort Sushi o.a. bestellen, bleibt rätselhaft.

In Mainz und Wiesbaden gibt es relativ viele asiatische Restaurants und Imbisse und viele davon habe ich bereits ausprobiert.. aber das Domo ist mein absoluter Liebling! Ein hübsch eingerichteter Familienbetrieb direkt hinter dem Neubrunnenplatz. Sehr zentral, aber in einer kleineren Seitenstraße, sodass man vom Getümmel in der Stadt gar nichts mitbekommt. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, äußerst herzlich und immer für einen Spaß zu haben. Egal ob Neu Kunde oder Stammgast, das Paar ist stets darauf erpirscht jedem den best möglichen Service zu bieten. Und die Karte ebenso. Es gibt keine Buffets oder großartige Wechsel in der Karte, aber das braucht man dort gar nicht. Japanische und Koreanische Speisen sind äußerst vielfältig, sodass man schon eine Ewigkeit braucht, bis man die Karte durch hat. Außerdem kann man gut behaupten, dass das Essen durchaus authentisch ist (so sagt mir zumindest eine japanische Freundin). Die Preise sind durchaus in Ordnung. An Getränken werden übrigens unter anderem auch Sake, koreanisches Bier und andere asiatische Getränke angeboten. Ich liebe es dort und komme immer gerne! :) Das Essen schmeckt super. Egal ob Sushi, Nudeln oder koreanische Spezialitäten wie Bibimbap ,alles schmeckt! Eine eindeutige Empfehlung!

Don't let the restaurant exterior or interior fool you. Great food with a great range of menu choices. The service was brilliant and real value for money prices. No complaints whatsoever and will be back again for sure!

Since most of the bad reviews are outdated i'd like to write a review, with is fitting to the quality of this restaurant now. MY ORDER My meal was a Miso Soup and Salad, 5 Chicken thingies, and then Chicken in Cocos. For drinks i had a pino coco. PRICE First off, with the prices for the main dishes ranging an average of 8 to 11 Euros (inclusive Miso Soup and small Salad) the Restaurant is defenetly not too expensive. The total bill for 5 people was 64 Euros. QUALITY AND QUANTITY The Miso Soup tasted like it should, not too hot, not too cold. For being inclusive in the 9 Dollar Dish, the slightly smaller bowl was fair. The small salad was also tasty. Then the chickens, for a 4 Dollar price tag for 6 wonderfully tasting, sweet chicken legs (or Wings) the quantity was defenetly ok. The main dish came with rice and tasted amazing, really no negative remarks i can make anywhere. The only thing that may not be nice for other people was the slightly a bit too sweet Pino coco. But if you get an analcoholic cocktail, GET IT! SERVICE The servers were very kind, and the cook made a nice impression (different than some other places i have been at in Mainz). They were all from Asian origin as a sidenote. SO TO SUM IT UP, BEST ASIAN RESTAURANT IN MAINZ. Plus: Dont go to meat & eat ;)

I went for the first time to this restaurant. It's quite difficult to find Korean restaurant in mainz.. from outside the restaurant looks small but it's nice inside.. the service is good very friendly and the food is quite delicious
