Pohang City Hall sushi restaurant, a regular's 5th visit: Domo Sushi

In short

Domo Sushi is a sushi restaurant in Idong, Nam-gu, near Pohang City Hall, where every seat is in a private room. On a fifth visit, after paying their own way here every year since 2021, the writer shared the Special Domo Assorted Sushi and a generous tsukedashi spread of small side dishes with a friend, and fell for the hon-maguro tuna belly sushi despite not usually liking tuna. Domo Sushi is a Pohang sushi spot remembered more for sushi quality than for value.

They set the table with cutlery!! The chopsticks and spoon come sealed in a pack like that, which is hygienic and I love it! The wet wipes are thick too, ha.

What side dishes (tsukedashi) come at Domo Sushi?

Domo Sushi really does serve a ton of basic side dishes (tsukedashi)!! Have you ever seen a sushi place give this many sides.. haha. Even for delivery or takeout, they pack all these sides in!!!

By the way, I personally love Domo Sushi's tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) so much. Slightly spicy, and as a dessert after sushi it's heaven 😮〰️🌟

A place where tuna sashimi salad comes as a side dish??!!! The sweet-and-sour gochujang sauce wakes up your appetite, and the soy-marinated crab adds umami, hahaha. There's so much to eat!!!

The croquette and corn cheese are the knockouts!! The best ones, haha. I scraped them clean🫢🫶🏻

The soba (buckwheat noodles) was tasty too, haha. Soba in summer! Udon in winter! That's what they serve, T_T so thoughtful, haha.

And finally beef tartare (yukhoe)... Isn't this a sushi buffet?????? The peppery flavor makes it a perfect appetizer 😁

Special 10-piece assorted sushi: portion and taste

Even just by eye, the fish looks so, so, so good, right? The special assorted sushi is 10 pieces, and when you finish it you're really full. Every single piece is substantial. The table is about to collapse~~~~~ no joke.

The fish is really thick, and the rice has just the right stickiness and just the right looseness @!@ When you eat the sushi you can really feel each piece was made with care, seriously.

Salmon sushi, flatfish fin and flower shrimp sushi

Salmon sushi!!! The color is insane!!!!!!! Total salmon flavor!!! Dab a little wasabi on it and the balance is great.

Fish no. 2, hahaha. The flatfish fin was really delicious too, but huh, it's already gone into my mouth < ^0^!

Flower shrimp sushi.. richness itself. So, so rich~~ and delicious 🥹🥹🥹

Hon-maguro tuna belly sushi that won over a tuna skeptic

And now the grand finale, tuna belly sushi!!!!! Hon-maguro (bluefin tuna)!!!!

Everyone... I actually don't like tuna, okay? But really 🤨 it's really so good!!???? I've been to Japan twice and this is better than the tuna I had there. It felt like eating top-grade Korean beef (not exaggerating, really). Truly nutty and rich, oil everywhere, and the more you chew the more nutty~~~ it gets.

People of Pohang.. tourists visiting Pohang.. please, please try Domo Sushi's tuna belly sushi ❤️ The quality is the best.

Even the eel sushi, which I didn't expect much from

Honestly I never expect much from the eel in assorted sushi, but huh?????? It was so good I'd call it the best after the tuna. Eel is a certified delicious, too!!

Fifth visit to Domo Sushi: overall verdict

I think the new plates are even better, boss..💗 I really enjoyed everything. My friend and I were totally satisfied!!!! I hope you keep running for a long time.. 👍🏻‼️

Words like "good value" don't fit here; it's simply a place where the sushi quality is the best!!
