Pretty much at the center of Helsinki, just two blocks from both Stockmann and Kamppi shopping centre, sits a homely japanese restaurant Domo. Even though I'm not a huge fan of sushi I found Domo's menu otherwise quite appealing and decided to take my significant other there.
On late friday evening we could just stroll there without a reservation and find only a couple of the restaurant's about ten tables in use. After a narrow entrance we were quickly greeted by a brisk waiter who showed us our table and, with fluent English I might add, took care of us decisively and politely and I had my Sapporo beer in front of me in no time. If you come across impolite service in a Japanese restaurant, there's definitely something wrong with the place.

For starters I took pork filled dumplings with soy-chili sauce. Quite tasty, yet I believe the sausage-like pork filling is not a big hit in general.
This well-sized dish suited me quite well but in retrospect I'd probably go for the beautiful "Rainbow" sushi. Still, considering standard Scandinavian customers, I believe these kind of dishes fit well to the menu in addition to the big variety of sushis.
My main course was a plate of really tasty and crispy chicken marinated in ginger soy, and some grated daikon. I ordered rice to accompany the dish but that's not a necessity, at least not with this dish.

Overall experience at Domo was pleasant. Service was good, prices were reasonable, settling in somewhere between low-priced & mid-priced, and quality of food was good, particularly when looking at all the nice sushi dishes. Everyone who enjoys Japanese cuisine should check out Domo, especially if you like your Japanese food with a hint of Scandinavian flavour.
