" Just had an exquisite meal at You Don Ya! The ambiance made it a lovely place for a date night. I found the portions to be just enough, but I do wish they were a bit larger given the price. However, the quality of the food was impeccable. I recommend trying the spicy tuna don; it was utterly delicious! The restaurant staff were very attentive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed without us having to ask. Great for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere with delicious food!

" You Don Ya is a must-try if you’re in the neighborhood! I was amazed by the flavor of their tonkatsu don. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender inside—a winning combination. The service was prompt without feeling rushed, which is important for a relaxed dining experience. I also appreciated the clean and cozy environment. Although I found the prices to be slightly on the higher side, the food quality makes it worthwhile. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the rave reviews, I finally made my way to You Don Ya and it did not disappoint! The pork belly don was well worth the wait. Each bite was packed with flavor, balanced perfectly with the rice. The only minor issue I had was the portion of cabbage salad I ordered on the side; it was a tad small. However, the ambience was cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive, checking if we needed anything. I’ll certainly come back to explore more items on their menu. Try this place if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried You Don Ya last Saturday and had a lovely experience. The atmosphere had a modern twist, yet maintained that cozy charm. I opted for the spicy beef don, and it was so rich and flavorful! My friends ordered other dishes, all of which looked delightful as well. The portion size felt just right for the price, and we all left feeling full and satisfied. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, a balance I truly appreciate in any dining experience. Overall, would recommend this place for a simple and satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" You Don Ya is an absolute gem! I visited with a few friends and we shared a variety of dishes. We had the karaage, gyu-don, and ended with the spicy salmon don. Everything was brilliant! I particularly loved the crunch of the karaage paired with the rice—it was a match made in heaven. The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, and the service impeccable. Even as a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, I felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal. I can’t wait to return and bring more friends along for the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" You Don Ya is a true hidden gem! I had such a fantastic meal here. The pork belly was juicy and tender, while the rice soaked up all the flavors beautifully. The service was swift, and our server was friendly and attentive. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal this much! I’m already planning to come back next week with my friends to share the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find in the city! You Don Ya serves up some of the best donburi I’ve had. I went for lunch and ordered the juicy karaage don. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and the flavor was on point. The atmosphere was relaxed, but it got busier as lunchtime hit, which shows how popular this place is! The service was friendly; the staff checked in on us without being overbearing. I definitely plan to return, not just for their don bowls but to explore other items on the menu as well. " (*Curated Review*)
