Domo Cafe

About Us

Domo Cafe is Orange County’s immersive character café in Buena Park, California, combining Japanese-inspired comfort food, specialty drinks, themed experiences, exclusive merchandise, and memorable hospitality.

Domo, the beloved square-shaped creature with the sharp-toothed grin, has been a staple of Japanese pop culture and internet culture since 1998. His quirky personality and unique charm made him a global phenomenon in the early 2000s through television, collectibles, and online communities. Relaunched in North America in 2025 by Striker Entertainment on behalf of NHK Enterprises, Domo continues to inspire longtime fans while welcoming a new generation.

As an officially licensed NHK character café, Domo Cafe celebrates Domo’s legacy with a unique “Eat, Shop, and Interact” experience featuring Japanese-inspired food, specialty beverages, exclusive merchandise, themed décor, and interactive photo opportunities.

Located in Buena Park, Domo Cafe brings together dining, entertainment, and pop culture in a fun destination for families, friends, fans, and visitors throughout Orange County.

“Domo is more than just a character; he’s a piece of internet history,” says Izzy Aala, owner of Domo Cafe. “We wanted to create a space that celebrates that nostalgia while introducing his quirky charm to a new generation of fans in Southern California.”
