This place is SO cool! A must visit if you're in Austin. They have this beer there with some alcohol flavored frozen foam in the top! Love the decor!
Place is great. Food is delicious, great variety of drinks and a nice vibe to just hangout at. My only complaint is the birds. It's best that you avoid sitting somewhere underneath the tree in the center. The birds stay there a lot and WILL poop on you and in your food. They already pooped on me and in my beer and I don't like constantly looking out for my food getting pooped in.
Didn’t think our night could get any better and then we walked into DomoAlleyGato. Disco balls on trees, delicious chicken wings, surf cat yummy drinks, and a playlist that just kept getting better say less. “it’s just a beautiful place, I don’t know how to explain it” -my friend
I would like to give their designer a kiss- very well done DAG

Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya – Located in East Austin Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya was only a 5 min walk from my cousins, with a lot of thought and deliberation they decided finally settled on this place. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and to my surprise with football season it was a bit quiet, which was good because we were able to take our time looking over the menu. They are a mostly outside venue with limited inside seating and is very dog friendly! They also share the restroom with the ramen spot next door.
The atmosphere was that of Japan (peep the pics), very beautiful! Everything (food and drinks) was reasonably priced... We mostly got small plates but if you are hungry get the ramen but only want apps as a meal I would suggest a bowl of Curry/Chashu with Karage/Goyza. The fam and I got; Curry, Chashu, Edamame, Spicy Edamame, Korokkaaayyy, Gyoza, Katsu Slider, Karage and Negi rice bowl.
Curry – Nicely seasoned, no meat
Chashu- Delish, basically a porkbelly type adobo
Edamame/Spicy Edamame – Both very good but I would get the spicy, better flavor
Korokkaayyy – Typical flavor
Gyoza – Came out pipping hot, flavorful and juicy!
Karage – Can taste the marinade, crispy and addicting
Katsu Slider – Yummm but so small for $6
Negi Rice Bowl – OOOOoo this was a flavor bomb, surprisingly enjoyed this dish. Very savory!
Shinku punch – Very flavorful and refreshing paired well with all the dishes!
Incredibly delicious.
The kirin foam was interesting and frosty.
The chicken karagge was a perfect appetizer, but the star of the show was the spicy chilled ramen. I can't describe how really delicious and savory the chilled is while being refreshing.
I hope this stays on the menu rather than just being seasonal. It's a perfect main dish for a hot summer Texas day.
