When I heard that DOMA was going to tackle a fusion between Korean and French (a combination I had never imagined), I knew I needed to try it.
The menu includes a $70/pp four-course tasting menu but we opted to order a la carte. Our waitress told us that the menu changes seasonally. The restaurant is modern and simple and I appreciated that it was on the quieter side despite being fully occupied.
We shared the red lentil soup (which was vegan!) to start. A little bowl came out with "sweet potato donuts" and some other vegetables. Our waitress then poured the lentil broth over top of the vegetables. I appreciated the unique presentation and that the concept, while still a soup, was unlike any other soup that I had eaten before (and I love soup).
We shared the gnocchi kimchi. As a gnocchi lover I was curious to see how the kimchi would be incorporated. Turns out it was baked right into the noodles. I loved the gnocchi itself - perfectly crispy on the outside while being fluffy and pillowy potato on the inside. I didn't love the flavour because I found it a bit fishy (even though it was vegetarian) and I hate fish. It kinda grew on me as I was eating it but it was a bit of a let down for someone who loves gnocchi as much as I do.
We shared the truffle bim bim bap which was amazing!!! The base of the bowl is brown rice and Korean mushrooms and truffle pieces. We tried to eat it as slowly as possible to savor its rich flavour. My husband enjoyed the sea-bream (since I don't eat fish I didn't try but the presentation was beautiful).
Since the menu changes, I would love to go back! The service was also excellent. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and was willing to make modifications for us without compromising the dish.
