Surprised that this place isn’t rated higher. I find Don Don to be one of the more fun Isakaya’s in town, and actually better in some respects that Kinka/Guu. They have a HUGE selection of sake with a breakdown of flavour types. Some of the dishes are edging on weird. It’s awesome to come in groups. This has become a regular spot for me and my friends.
Compared to other izakaya’s, this place is nothing special. The food was mediocre, and atmosphere was lacking.I got the gyudon and the taste of ginger was overpowering in the beef and the sauce. Definitely would not get again.I also ordered the skewers platter – the chicken was good, but the rest was okay at best. Nothing to fawn over there.Better options downtown for japanese eats.
Everything was disgusting.I had the sashimi, the torched sushi, the ramen, fish, fried octopus and other fried dishes and dessert – brulee. Some parts were over cooked or under cooked.So disappointing. Never coming back. Super salty and not fresh as well as soggy. Service was OK and not once did anyone ask how we were doing.I spent over 100 dollars.. would rather go somewhere else.
This place is quieter than a previous izakaya place I’ve been to previously called Guu. My only problem with the noise was my family and I (4 people) were seated at a table in a private area for a larger group. The larger group (11 people) was louder and being in a smaller space made it even louder. If they had reservations for a larger group, they shouldn’t seat another table in the same confined space. Being in a private space also made ordering harder. One of us would have to exit the space and find a server if we wanted to order more food or drinks. As for the food, it was delicious and easy to get carried away ordering the small dishes. I recommend the ginger fried chicken, torched salmon sushi and beef tataki. I would definitely return but will make sure next time to be seated somewhere else.
Nice place to grab some Japanese snacks. recommended the udon noodle there. The waitresses there are super welcomed. If you don’t want to wait in a long queue, should get there at the right time they open
I came to Don Don Izakaya with my boyfriend for lunch on a weekday.Service was excellent – they offer a lunch special which comes as a set meal.We both ordered the GRILLED MACKEREL lunch set. We were going to order an appetizer with it but the waiter was so honest and told us that our lunch portion is more than enough. And he’s right! We appreciate your tidbit!! :DGRILLED MACKEREL lunch set (4/5)It came with a huge bowl of rice, gyoza, 3 different dishes of veggies, miso soup and salad. The portions were huge and worth the price of the lunch set! The grilled mackerel was delicious. We will revisit for lunch another time 🙂 ch3rieberry.blogspot.com
Conveniently located by eaton centre. The food is alright, nothing very spectacular. I would recommend the salmon/tuna cooker over some hay. Also, the skewers lightly salted. One thing I found really repulsive was the hanpen as well as the frois groi.. might be spelling it wrong. Had their bao, you can tell it is not fresh and they have a generic sauce that they use for their noodles and dipping sauce for their cheese stick. They also use the sauce for their takoyaki. Their beer is always nice and fizzy though.
