The Don

I enjoyed this restaurant's aesthetic, it was very pleasing to the eye and matched the cultural setting for the food they served. The restaurant is a bit out of the way so it doesn't get too busy. As a vegetarian there isn't that strong of a menu but I enjoyed the deep fried gyoza and the renkon chips. The dessert I had at the end was the parfait and while it was presented nicely, the flavour did not hit as hard as the main course did. The mix of corn flakes, fruit pieces and ice cream made for a very unbalanced dessert.

I had a pleasant experience at this Japanese restaurant. The food was enjoyable, and the ambiance provided an authentic Japanese vibe, which I appreciated. The restaurant appeared to be more spacious than it seemed from the outside, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff members were friendly and accommodating. I opted for the grilled squids, which were deliciously smoky and well-cooked. However, I noticed a slight sweetness in the dish, and I couldn't determine its source. Nonetheless, the accompanying side sauce complemented the flavors well and balanced out the sweetness. The only minor setback was that the salad portion seemed a bit small, leaving me wanting more. Overall, it was a satisfying visit, and I would recommend this Japanese restaurant to others seeking a delightful dining experience with authentic vibes and friendly service.

The don was a really nice place for a lunch in city after a bit of shopping. We got the beef yakke, cheese pork don, and the salmon avo roll. All three dishes were really yum especially the beef yakke which had a really nice sauce. The pork cutlets were a bit dry but overall the dishes had nice flavours that went well together. The servers are really nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really cool and vibey.

Great food and a reasonably fast service for lunch. They didn't allow like-for-like vegetarian substitutions for the raw fish in the bento (even though it says to ask about it on the menu), just more salad. The menu itself is pretty hard to read and it took me a while to find what I wanted to eat the first time I went there. We like the chicken katsu, chicken yaki soba and also usually get a side salad.
