    Food was ok. Service was good. To our surprise the place looked very deserted. When we arrived the doors were closed so we had to wait despite booking. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Doumo is a small, cute restaurant hidden away in a quiet street, away from the busy areas of Tottenham Court Road, in central London. Really enjoyed the food and relaxing ambience. Great service too! 5*

    Pretty standard, you pay for what you get I would say. Got the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box with 4 Nigiri, 3 Salmon Hosomaki, salad, miso soup and rice - all for £17.99 (not incl. discount) which is pretty good for London but taste wise is on the good side of standard, especially when it's not solely a Japanese restaurant. There was also DimSum and other Chinese dishes

    We had never been to Doumo before but we thought the food was really good and would definitely come back. Friendly and polite service too.

    restaurant was clean and the server was friendly but food did not seem to have been prepared fresh, it was very cold and had to send it back to warm it up

    I periodically come here to dine after work. I like how compact the place is, makes me feel cozy. Delicious food, exceptional service and wide choice of alcohol.

    Two tender pork bao buns glazed with dark sauce, garnished with fresh lettuce, accompanied by a colorful assortment of sushi rolls.
    Grilled beef served over sautéed onions and bell peppers, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, accompanied by a rich sauce, fried chicken, fluffy rice, spicy noodles, and a fresh vegetable salad.
    A vibrant sushi platter featuring various nigiri and rolls, accompanied by wasabi, pickled ginger, and a bowl of lightly salted edamame.

    Really nice for for good value. Lovely young woman who served us.

    Ramen with a rich pork-based broth, topped with marbled chashu pork, soft-boiled eggs, seaweed strips, and green onions, served with thick, chewy noodles.

    Lovely ramen which hit the spot in cold weather .

    We got a share sushi plate and we asked if it was enough. It was very small.

    The service was great but we paid £22 per head and my son left the restaurant still feeling hungry. The portions really need to be a lot bigger.

    Food quality and presentation were unsatisfactory. Taste profile was not Japanese. The menu offers a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean dishes. Claiming to be a Japanese restaurant is misleading. An underwhelming experience.

    Duomo is one of those places that don't look fancy and are maybe a little rough around the edges, but the quality of the food they serve is really high. I forgive a lot of things when a place is like this because really the heart of a restaurant is always the food. The sushi is fresh, carfully and delicately made. It tastes excellent. The service is friendly. I don't ask for more. I love the place. Highly recommended.

    Some of the best sushi I have had in a very long time. The soft shell crab was extraordinary! Staff were very friendly and efficient. Even with the discount it was a little expensive but worth the price. Very high quality

    A nice small restaurant. The quality of the food was good and price was reasonable. The only thing is that it actually closes 2.30 pm before opening again at 5pm everyday, which isn't correctly reflected on the Fork's booking. We booked a 2.30 pm slot and it was lucky that we decided to go at 2 pm instead and they actually extended their opening time a bit for us, otherwise the place would have been closed when we get there.

    We had the “rock n roll” from the specialty rolls which was delicious. But the yuzu miso salmon and the yuzu miso sea bream was lacklustre. Couldn’t really taste the miso or the yuzu. And the sea bream didn’t seem that fresh.

    Great food and a fantastic little restaurant that nearly had me feeling like I was back in Tokyo. I would advise that anyone using a Fork discount maybe order drinks separate as their till system does some strange things that don't favour the customer in applying the discount, including charging the service charge rate on the original bill unlike every other restaurant I've booked a discount with via The Fork (the s/c is always applied to the discounted amount elsewhere). Other than that, it was a lovely meal and everything was delicious. No idea why one reviewer made an issue of cleanliness. We didn't see anything of concern whatsoever.

    It does not really matter how good the food is if the place is as dirty as this one. Absolutely disgusting! Not sure how places like this can still exist and yet they do. And this is now so common that nobody bothers to care about the cleanliness and clearly no food safety inspections are taking place, are they?

    This Japanese-Asian fusion restaurant in Fitzrovia really impresses. Service is efficient and excellent - mirroring the menu. A combination of delectable dishes and commendable service makes the restaurant a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a fusion of Japanese and Asian flavours in Central London - that it is outstanding value is a major plus (do try their Bento boxes..)
