This has been one of my favorite dinning experiences! The friends you bring along the way help many restaurants have fonder memories, and while my company was good the food was truly the star! I was able to try the Korean BBQ plate with 3 different meats: beef (10/10), spicy chicken (9/10), and pork belly (11/10). They smacked so hard!!! Also, their pickled vegetables were amazing and so nice in addition to the meat and rice (cooked perfectly by the way). And their spicy kimchi was great as well, definitely carrying a kick of heat. I also got to try their wings...perfection! I’d highly recommend this place! The pricing was fair too for what you are getting, not cheap, but also it’s not a cheap dish. I’d say get the beef bbq plate if your afraid of being adventurous, it’s great and was loved by everyone at our table. If ya want a bolder flavor tho, the pork belly is where it’s at! P.S. the bathrooms were nice and clean too!

I ordered the beef japchae -wonderful brothy flavor, huge serving, fried sweet potato slices for the app -perfectly cooked, and a tiny bottle of some of the best sake I've ever tasted - surprisingly floral, light, not too sweet. The service was polite and quick. The ambiance was casual, cool, and fun. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I look forward to trying everything on their menu!

It was pretty busy when I got there for lunch with two employees on the floor. I was worried about delay in getting out food, but it wasn’t an issue. Both employees were very friendly and helpful. The appetizer came out before our entrees, which wasn’t a big deal. The food was delicious as always.

Great food and easy going vibe. Service was decent and food came out quickly, even though they were relatively busy. Loved the kimchi fried rice, bibimbap and the chicken wings. Would recommend and return

We popped into Doma on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The food, service, and atmosphere was great! We had some small bites as we awaited our dinner reservations at another spot, but I would definitely come here again on my next Charlottesville visit for dinner to try their other dishes. Menu had a good selection of items, and the food was fresh and flavorful.

This place has such good korean food and for such a good price. I ordered the spicy pork bibimbap and it was such a good deal. I was really hungry and the portion was the perfect size and I left very satisfied. It was not overly spicy but just enough to where the spice gave a nice feeling and didn’t make me need to drink water or start sweating. The layout of the restaurant was also very cozy and I loved the format of the kitchen so you could see your food being made. This assured the freshness of my food and it was interesting to see the cooking process behind my food.

Doma is always ahead, it's one of our favorite Korean places in town. We make reservations just in case, as it tends to get pretty busy later in the day. Everything I've had there is delicious, always very fresh and the staff are always nice and very welcoming. I'm a big fan of any of their rice cake dishes, but the soups are also to die for.

We were excited to come to a Korean restaurant because we don't have one in our town and we were not disappointed. It was busy for a Friday night, but there were seats and our food came quickly. We ordered the homemade sodas, the Chicken Wings (Korean Hot), the Tteokkochi (Honey Sriracha), Soondubu Jjigae, and the Doma Bokum Udon. The homemade sodas were good and taste like whatever flavor you get, but you will need to make sure to mix it well and keep the straw from bottom or you'll just get syrup. Both appetizers were flavorful, but if you don't like spice, I wouldn't get the Honey Sriracha because we found it spicier than the Korean Hot flavor. The Doma had a sweet sauce, good grill on chicken, and the noodles were filling. Overall, our waitress was attentive but not overbearing and we were pleased with our meal. I recommend giving it a try if you're in Charlottesville!
