" 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*)

" I can’t stop raving about this place! DonDonYa has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. The beef donburi was perfectly seasoned and so satisfying. Portions are generous for the price, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quick the service was. The decor has a lovely charm, reminiscent of Japanese cafes in Tokyo. It feels like a little piece of Japan right here in CDN! Can't wait to return! " (*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!

" DonDonYa has quickly become my favorite dining spot! The variety on the menu is impressive, offering both traditional and innovative dishes.

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*)

" An amazing find in CDN! I was blown away by the vibrant flavors in their dishes. The staff here seems genuinely happy to be serving, which made my experience even better.
