DOMO — "Thank You"

どうも — Dōmo — means "Thank You" in Japanese. It is a word of warmth, of welcome, of quiet gratitude. At DOMO Modern Japanese, nestled within Fairmont Singapore, every dish is an expression of that spirit — a thank-you to the ingredients, the craft, and the guest at the table.

Here, 29 years of global kitchen experience meet the primal simplicity of fire and the finest seasonal produce. The result is modern Japanese cuisine that is generous, precisely balanced, and deeply personal.

From Nobu to DOMO — Chef Rose Ang

Chef Rose Ang's culinary journey spans four continents and some of the world's most celebrated kitchens. As Executive Chef at Nobu Hospitality, she led kitchens across Greece, Switzerland, Italy and Germany — including the legendary Badrutt's Palace in St. Moritz — mastering the Japanese-European balance that defines her cooking today.

Her path to DOMO wound through Zuma & Roka in Macau, Rockpool Dining Group in Melbourne, Four Seasons in France, and senior F&B roles with international hotel groups from Sydney to Southeast Asia. Each kitchen sharpened a philosophy: global influence handled through restraint rather than excess.

In 2025, Rose brought nearly three decades of that discipline home to Singapore — founding DOMO as a place where serious technique meets the warmth of Japanese hospitality. The name she chose says it all: Thank You.

Fire, Balance & Generosity

DOMO's kitchen is built around the robatayaki grill — open-flame cooking over Binchotan charcoal that brings out the purest flavours in premium seafood, A5 Miyazaki wagyu and seasonal produce. Every dish reflects Chef Rose's signature approach: technically controlled, globally inspired, yet always restrained enough to let the ingredients speak.

The menu spans sashimi, sushi, robata-grilled plates, and chef-led tasting progressions — from the $88++ Signature Tasting to bespoke omakase experiences up to $300++. Whether it's a crispy halibut with yuzu and truffle or fall-off-the-bone Iberico pork ribs with red onion pickles, each plate carries the quiet confidence of a chef who has spent a lifetime perfecting her craft.

The Space

Set within the iconic Fairmont Singapore, DOMO offers an intimate dining room designed for both occasion and everyday warmth. Private dining spaces are available for celebrations, corporate hosting and special gatherings — each with dedicated service and bespoke menu options.
