" The food was good but sadly the experience was ruined by the cleanliness of the tables. It felt sticky and like they hadn’t been wiped down in a while. The katsu was good, but I definitely expected a better overall experience in terms of service and cleanliness. I might try getting takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by how authentic the flavors were! The ramen left with me the taste reminiscent of my visit to Japan. It was spot-on with the spiciness level and the noodles were cooked just right. The self-ordering process was interesting and made things faster. The only downside was limited space during busy hours, but that’s understandable for a popular place. I was treated like royalty by the staff too! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing culinary experience! Every bite of my katsudon was cooked perfectly, with rich flavors that made me nostalgic for my time in Japan. The ambiance was relaxed, creating a perfect backdrop for a good meal. I loved the efficiency of their self-service concept but felt like the prices were still fair for such quality. Already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The curry was decent, nothing too remarkable. I've had better elsewhere. The environment was cozy, but I found the ordering system a bit annoying since I enjoy traditional dining settings. The food was satisfactory but didn't leave me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard a lot about Donburi, so I went with high hopes. The food was okay, but I expected more authenticity. My katsudon was average and the service felt rushed. The place was busy, and I wished they had more staff to attend to customers. However, the overall vibe was pleasant. I might give it another chance, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Donburi is now my go-to spot for lunch! I have tried various dishes, and my favorite is definitely the katsudon. The portions are generous, and everything has always been served hot and fresh. I normally eat alone, and this place is great for that too, with a comfortable upstairs seating area. Self-service was new to me, but it was easy and efficient! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical of the self-service, but after trying Donburi I appreciate the efficiency. The katsu was very tender and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, and the prices fit well with the quality. A bit noisy, but feedback from the staff kept the environment lively and friendly. " (*Curated Review*)
