7 Signature Dishes You Must Try at DOMO Modern Japanese
By DOMO Modern Japanese
A guide to Chef Rose Ang's most compelling creations — where Japanese technique meets global influence on the robata grill.
Every dish at DOMO Modern Japanese reflects Chef Rose Ang's 29 years in serious kitchens worldwide. But these seven signatures are where her philosophy shines brightest: generous, balanced, technically controlled — global influence handled through restraint rather than excess.
1. Salmon Tataki, Dijon & Balsamic
Lightly seared salmon under Dijon mustard miso and a glaze of balsamic — clean, precise and quietly unexpected. This is Chef Rose's Japanese-European balance distilled into a single plate. The mustard cuts through the richness of the fish while the balsamic adds depth without heaviness.
2. Tuna Sashimi Taco
Clean tuna sashimi, avocado, Greek feta and roasted tomato salsa folded into one crisp bite. Playful, but never casual — global influence handled with restraint. A DOMO signature since opening day, and the dish that best captures the restaurant's spirit.
3. Crispy Halibut, Yuzu & Truffle
Crisp halibut, bright yuzu, earthy truffle — a combination that could feel heavy in lesser hands, and here lands light and balanced. The contrast of textures and temperatures makes this one of the most technically impressive dishes on the menu.
4. Pork & Seafood Gyoza, Scallion Ponzu
Pork and seafood wrapped and pan-seared to a delicate crisp, finished with scallion ponzu. A familiar form, executed with quiet confidence. The filling ratio is generous, the skin impossibly thin, and the ponzu lifts everything.
5. A5 Miyazaki Wagyu on Himalayan Salt Stone
Seared tableside over a heated salt stone and finished with flame. A 75g portion in the tasting menu; a 150g cut à la carte. Precision, theatre and restraint on one stone. The Himalayan salt seasons the beef as it cooks, creating a crust that's subtly mineral and deeply satisfying.
6. Sticky Iberico Pork Ribs, Red Onion Pickles
Fall-off-the-bone Iberico in a deeply caramelised glaze, cut through with the brightness of red onion pickles. Rich, generous, polished without being precious. This is the dish that converts sceptics — proof that comfort food can be refined.
7. Grilled Gindara Black Cod with Yuzu Miso
Tender black cod glazed with yuzu miso, grilled to perfection over robata charcoal. The binchotan imparts a clean smokiness that elevates the naturally buttery fish. A masterclass in simplicity.
The Grand Finale: Domo Arigato
Every meal at DOMO should end with the Domo Arigato Finale — a sharing dessert platter of matcha tiramisu, chocolate lava cake, fresh fruit and house-made ice creams. Abundant and made to be passed around the table.
How to Experience Them All
The $88++ Signature Tasting Menu features many of these dishes in a curated seven-course progression. For the full experience, ask about the bespoke omakase (up to $300++), where Chef Rose tailors each course to the table.
