At the end of July, Gaku closed for several weeks so that he and his staff could regroup following the surge in popularity. When they did reopen, they did so with limited hours, cutting back from seven days a week to just Friday through Sunday from 11 am to 8:30 pm. The restaurant is also only seating 20 diners at a time, which means there can still be a long wait for a table.

The surge in popularity may appear to be a good thing, but many of the new customers are pushy and are eager to take selfies or film videos of their own inside the restaurant. Gaku told Westword that he was happy with the regular customers he had prior to the video going viral.

“Already we have good enough. We know, it was simple, like how much do we buy? Now we can’t tell, we can’t plan. Mo atama itai," he said. "I get a headache."

Domo's surge in popularity may not seem like a problem, but it seems to have caused its owner some pain. Becoming hugely popular brings plenty of cash, but it's not always worth the many headaches that come with it.
