Don Day has tasty food and very nice service. We had lunch there recently. The seafood pancake was excellent and my kimchi stew was extremely tasty. My partner’s food was also very good. And the person serving us was friendly and prompt and took pains to make sure our kid was happy. We will definitely return to Don Day.
I was on the southside of the city and felt like some Korean food for dinner so I looked up Don Day and went right over. It’s rather small and you can easily miss it driving by. Their outside sign doesn’t light up so yeah it’s hard to see at night. But once you get there it’s rather small, you can see the entire restaurant in one glance. It’s a mom and pop shop which is cute. It was a cold rainy night so me and my girlfriend decided on some soups/stews to warm us up. We got their Tteokbokki, which looked rather messy on the plate when it was given to us (the sauce almost spilt over when she gave it to us). Taste wise it was delicious, nice and spicy with nice chew. Next was their Seafood pancake and this one didn’t impress much. I like mine super crispy and soft on the inside. This one though was neither, more so soft and mushy which did not make me happy. Flavour was okay but I just couldn’t get over the texture. Thankfully there’s dipping sauce. To the soups and stews my girlfriend got their Kimchi Stew and I got their Pork Bone Soup. The Kimchi Stew was nice, delicious and spicy, chalked full of stuff like tofu, kimchi and pork. But wait during my girlfriends search through her stew there was absolutely no pork to be found…sad. My Pork Bone Soup faired better as it did have pork in it thankfully and went nicely with rice. I found their side dishes (Banchan) to be a tad lacking. We only got Kimchi and some pickled cabbage. Sad as I like my side dishes but oh well. This place is small and cute but for me personally I have a better connection to other Korean restaurants for overall food quality. Lots of hits and misses here sadly.
first time here. a wonderful surprise close to our hotel. what drew us was that the menu had Camp Stew (aka Army Stew)! not many Korean restaurants serve this wonderful dish. Don Day did a fantastic job with this dish. really full of meats and vegetables and two types of noodles (glass noodles and instant Ramen noodles) as well as that wonderful sliced rice cake. the waitress said it only feeds two, so we also ordered a beef Bi Bim Bop, but seriously, the Camp Stew (#15 on the menu) was plenty for all three of us! and very delicious. we were worried it would be too spicy so we requested to have the Kim Chi on the side. the broth was spicy, but not overly so. we loved it! and it also came with two bowls of rice to help you finish off all the broth. the Bi Bim Bop was ok. bowl was nice and hot, so got the lovely crispy rice that everyone loves with Bi Bim Bop, but the beef was rather bland. seemed like they didn’t marinate the beef with anything. certainly not the best Bi Bim Bop we’ve had. likely wouldn’t order this again. we will certainly remember this place for the next time we’re in Edmonton. we’ll certainly try other menu items, but the Camp Stew is the draw.
Oh man oh man oh man I loved the veganized stone bowl Bi Bim Bap (no egg). I’ve been a Koreaphile lately and I’ve been sampling Korean foods in the city. I even liked their fresh Kim Chi (a taste I’m still trying to get used to). The seaweed salad side dish was delicious! Enjoyed the Korean ad posters and the K-pop videos playing in the background. Love little holes in the wall like this. Service was great, prices were great, food was great! Win-win-win.
2nd time. Returned for another go with a real Korean!! She gave it a thumbs up.24 Apr, 2013Good stuff and PSY on the rock video. Hole-in-the-wall place tucked in on Parson road but delicious food. Large Seafood pancake was like a jacked up green onion cake. Bi Bim Bap Beef was delicious. Nice fresh KimChee on the side and some Hite beer. Just like Seoul. Topped off with the Korean rock videos.
Deleted my old review (Hanuri) for a newer/better review on Don Day!. I was afraid of stepping in this place again because Hanuri was so terrible. I’m glad I did. Perhaps because of the expectation differences, I find the selection to be more unique and stranger (but better!) than some of my favorite restaurants in town. I mean, they don’t have deep fried chicken like at Wing Chicx, fine, but the B-Bim-Baab and deep fried seaweed rolls and the soup taste 10x better than any other Korean offerings in town! It’s meeting and exceeding some of the best Calgary Korean restaurants I’ve been to (Sura). There’s these hot pot dish thingies for about $20 to $30 that you can share with 2 or 4 people. I’ve never seen them anywhere else in Edmonton before. It’s usually order-off-the-menu or BBQ style like Ginseng. I didn’t order any this time but there were a lot of Koreans that knew what they were doing and ordered them. They seemed to have enjoyed it lots! I loved how they gave me that red bottle of sauce for my B-Bim-Baab so I can mix my rice and add in extra sauce as necessary throughout the meal. It was a very delicious sauce (on the sweeter side) and I usually hate sweet sauces. The stone bowl was so hot it kept all of my rice nice and crispy for about an hour. I kept mixing it so that all the rice is evenly crispy. Oh, and I dare you try the deep fried seaweed rolls… comparing these to the ones I bought at Lucky 97 (North side) for $10 a package, the ones at Don Day blow them out of the water!!!
