Domo Sushi Kitchen & Bar, the Short North sushi spot, is packing up its knives for a second act in Historic Dublin, taking over the Mr. Sushi unit at the corner of Bridge Street and High Street. The expansion, announced on the restaurant’s Instagram, marks a notable shuffle on downtown Dublin’s dining strip. Owner Daniel Kim has framed the move as both a strategic business step and a personal return to family roots.
As reported by Columbus Underground, Kim wrote on Domo’s Instagram that “Mr. Sushi has always been more than just a restaurant to us — it’s part of our family history.” The outlet also notes that Kim launched the original Domo in the Short North and that the Dublin spot will aim to keep elements of the former restaurant while also introducing some new ideas.
Short North Roots
Domo built its reputation on North High Street, and the Short North Alliance lists the original location at 976 North High Street. That neighborhood base is where Kim refined the compact, chef-driven sushi style he now plans to bring to Historic Dublin.
Replacing a Local Mainstay
Mr. Sushi has been a longtime fixture in Historic Dublin, and Mr. Sushi's website lists the downtown location at 3 N. High St. Dublin city permit records also show Mr. Sushi operating at that address, confirming the unit that Domo says it will soon call home.
When It Might Open
No opening date was included in Domo’s announcement, according to Columbus Underground. For updates, the restaurant points readers to Domo's website, where the Short North menu and contact details are currently listed.
For Historic Dublin diners, the change means a Short North flavor will soon land on Bridge Street. We will update when Domo announces a timeline or officially opens the new doors.
