Was Mark T at Don Don a mag?
Such a brilliant little Japanese restaurant. I have been a few times now and they never disappoint. The staff are lovely. Can get a bit crowded but worth waiting for a table. Very reasonable prices. Took 4 friends last time and they all liked it and a few have gone back. View all feedback.

What Peter R dislikes about Don Don:
I ate with 3 Japanese friends. Embarrassing for them and me. Cluggy Rice, Tasteless Food. We had to ask for more condiments. Staff are not Japanese cooking and flavours are dreadful. Avoid it. View all feedback.

My new price-performance ratio in Sydney. $ 10.50. You never know what's in this city around the corner .. and this place, literally a block that I eat all the time is an absolute rock star. First, very Japanese and a very authentic atmosphere. Grief It's a small place, but it feels really comfortable, and the service is very friendly and excellent. Grief Given the name of this place I had to try the Don. I did not go with the chicken Katsu. In view of my high expectation, the court did not disappoint - damn that Don is good! Perfect (seriously perfect) soft rice. Wet, juicy chicken covered in a beautifully crumbled crumbs. And everything covered in a soy sugar egg mixture easily fried and draped over everything. The pickled ginger is like the icing on a cake, so good. Grief I want to go back and have a bowl now! Come there

I went with the chicken katsu don. Given my lofty expectations, the dish did not disappoint - damn that Don is good! Perfectly (seriously perfectly) soft rice. Moist, juicy chicken covered in a beautifully crisp crumb. And all covered in a soy/sugar egg mixture lightly fried and draped over everything. The pickled ginger is like the icing on top of a cake, so good. I want to go back and have another bowl right now! Get there

Cheap and yummy does the trick!<br/ <br/ Walked past during my lunch break and popped in to grab a takeaway chicken katsu don for $11.50. It was pretty busy for a weekday so I had to wait about 10 minutes for my food but hey that means it's cooked right there and then yeah?<br/ <br/ Got back to my office and see that I have inside the bag... two containers. One is a smaller one with soup. The other was the massive bowl of chicken katsu don! And when I say massive; it was massive. Way bigger than many other asian takeaway I have had in the city.<br/ <br/ The ton of rice and the chicken was so plentiful that I couldn't even finish the meal!<br/ <br/ As I was waiting for my meal, I saw people eating dishes in and the bento box looked delightful... the lunch special is about 14 dollars and looks to be great value. I will definitely be coming back!
