"Still great value after all of these years! I remember being first introduced to Don Don when they were located somewhere else. It used to be my go to lunch choice as it was simply the best value lunch in town. Enough history from me, onto what you are here for, the food review. I ordered the Sashi Don. Even with the high price of salmon these days, the portion of salmon is the same as it was years ago. Although the price is high than it used to be (what is these days?), it's still great value. You also get pickles, tofu skin, a piece of soft white tofu, sald and rice. All for the low price of $17. Incredible value still. The salad is fresh, and they did not skimp on the amount of pickles. I'm very happy to report that Don Don lives! I hope it lives on for many more years and I will continue to support them. Keep up the great work!"

"Very spacious space inside indeed. Good thing that there is a bar too. I like the mural on the wall. Coming to their menu, I will admit I found it very straightforward. I ordered chicken karage curry and octopus balls (takoyaki). The takoyaki was so delicious and the crispy chicken just tasted better with the curry. Overall, a nice simple dinner."

"I recently visited Don Don, and it was actually my first time eating Japanese food (beyond sushi)—and I absolutely loved it! The menu had a great variety: fried dishes, chicken, rice, and more. The portions were generous, and the prices were very affordable for the amount and quality of food we received. We even ordered extra to take away because we enjoyed it so much. One interesting cultural detail for me was that the rice was served without salt. In my Colombian culture, we usually season our rice, so at first it felt a bit unusual. But in the end, it actually worked really well with the rest of the dish—it balanced the flavors nicely and wasn’t unpleasant at all. The restaurant was cozy and comfortable, and we ended up staying there for about three hours, chatting and relaxing with friends. We tried several dishes, and everyone left full and satisfied with both the flavor and the experience. In summary: For a first experience with Japanese cuisine, this place was perfect. Delicious food, great value, and a relaxed atmosphere. I’d definitely go back!"

"After they disappeared from Little Lonsdale we had wondered if they were still around. This new venue is clean, airy and quiet as part of the Pegasus Apartments. Clean bright bathrooms Service is fast and food is tasty as ever although my cauliflower was a bit undercooked. That’s the only reason I’m giving the food 4 stars."
