" On my most recent visit to DonDonYa, I tried the chicken katsu curry. While the chicken was tender and well-cooked, I found the curry sauce lacked depth and was a bit too sweet for my taste. The ambiance was cozy, making it a nice spot to relax. The service was attentive; however, it felt a little slow, possibly due to a busy lunch rush. Overall, a good experience but I'm hoping for more flavor next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got home from DonDonYa, and I am still craving more of their delicious food! The curry katsu was definitely my favorite — well-balanced and comforting. Service was friendly, though we had to wait occasionally for our food. The cozy atmosphere complemented our meal nicely. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" DonDonYa has quickly become my favorite dining spot! The variety on the menu is impressive, offering both traditional and innovative dishes. I tried their vegetarian specials and was pleasantly surprised at the flavors. The service was quick and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning to explore even more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The katsu I had at DonDonYa was a mixed experience. While the crispy coating was delightful, the meat inside was a bit underseasoned. However, the service was friendly and the overall vibe was great. I loved the Japanese-inspired decor, and it complimented my meal nicely! I would give it another shot for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited DonDonYa last week and was quite impressed with the offerings. The ramen was decent, though I expected it to be a bit more flavorful. However, the service was great. The staff was attentive and friendly but not overly intrusive. Their matcha dessert was fantastic and made my day. I will definitely be trying more dishes on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
