ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. “The decor is sparse and elegant, the service warm (though my waitress was occasionally difficult to find), and the sushi fresh.”
  2. “They just renovated the whole place- inside and out, and in the process created a comfortable, loungy atmosphere that is hard to find in this area.”

  1. “The superb eel more than made up for the watery green tea, and they were kind enough to give me complimentary ice cream for having me change tables early on to accomodate a large party.”
  2. “The chef must have changed cause the dishes coming out of the kitchen look great now, and desserts are finally something other than tempura ice cream, My fav is the chocolate cake topped with hot bananas.”

Dissapointing

by FoodTastie at Citysearch

Nothing special about this place. If you are a sushi enthusiast, this place dissapoints. Prices are also geared towards the ridiculous - i.e. the nearby busines lunches. Overall, a 1.5 star.

Management changed??????

by letsdrinksalnite at Citysearch

My favorite friedly heart warming manager was gone when I came back from my trip. Very disappointed....

Sushi rolls were same as b4 Chinese style big rolls (very fresh though) nothing so special about them.

Service....what's goin on??? A couple of servers are always running but others kept standing doing nothing whatsoever but chatting. Where was a new manager?????

Drinks....came extremely slow.......and no consistancy......One drink has always differnt tastes...

If you have a chance to go, don't sit at bar, it's so filthy, and you don't wanna see.

All workers there, chef, waitstaff, hostess....all look upset.

I felt bad.......unfortunately, I may not go back there as customers. SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT.

They changed music recently.....I'm ok with it but my friends and I thought it's not good for restaurant, maybe for cheap lounge. We all felt like we're in the gastro pub or something.

Prices kept going up, up, and up. The quality of all kept going down, down, and down.

The owner/owners must have money but no brains.

Some day, we may see them in the show "kitchen nightmares" lol.

  • Pros: decor
  • Cons: manager, speed, drinks, music

Amazing value, great food.

by musac at Citysearch

I have been going to Damo Damo since they first opened years ago.

They have consistently fresh fish and for the quality, they really could charge more than they do.

They recently revamped their decor and it seems it's always busy, but it's still one of those places you can usually get a table at without needing reservations.

The waiters always greet us warmly and call us by our names! A true gem.

Highly Recommended!

  • Pros: Ambience, Extremely Fresh Sushi, The Sakura roll!

Good sushi, poor service

by arik10 at Citysearch

Sushi was excellent. It was fresh and tasted well in your mouth. In terms of prices, it was reasonably priced for its quality. The only problem was the service. It was very slow since this place seemed to have only 2 waitresses and we had to ask for service several times. Our drinks arrived very late and water was not offered.

Overall, very good sushi for its price, but expect service to take some time.

  • Pros: good sushi, good decour
  • Cons: poor service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME

by cord77 at Citysearch

This place has taken all the good things they have done in the past, and multiplied them! They just renovated the whole place- inside and out, and in the process created a comfortable, loungy atmosphere that is hard to find in this area. The food has never been better (heard they recently changed chefs). The quality of fish is outstanding. I have always come for lunch, but the new decor makes it a viable dinner option too. Must try: Blackened Tuna Roll, Black Cod appetizer, Beef tataki, and of course the sashimi.

  • Pros: New Decor, Atmoshere, Service, Freshness
