" Honestly, I was disappointed with my visit to Donburi. The menu looked promising, but my expectation of a flavorful katsudon fell flat. It was good, but not memorable. Service felt a bit impersonal since you order at a kiosk and then pick up your food. The atmosphere was nice but a bit loud for dining. I'd recommend trying it at least once, but be prepared for a fast-casual experience without much of the personal touch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed. The food was good, but definitely not worth the hype I had heard. The katsu was on the dry side. Plus, the self-service system detracted from the overall experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I don't think I'll be rushing back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I had the tempura udon, and while it wasn’t the most authentic I’ve had, it was still delicious. The crispy batter on the shrimps was top notch, and the udon was perfectly chewy. I found the digital ordering pretty funny; it felt more futuristic, while the service made sure to check on us, even if it was self-serve for most parts. Definitely worth revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience! The Ebi Katsudon was beautiful, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Each piece was tender and juicy, perfectly complemented by the crunchy panko breading. I appreciated the self-serve concept, as it allowed me to customize my order. The ambience was relaxed and comfortable, great for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful experience at Donburi! I felt a real connection to Japanese cuisine here. The flavors in the ramen were just phenomenal—a delightful mix of rich broths and fresh ingredients. The price was quite fair considering the quality. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends! " (*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*)
