DonDonYa is a small, cozy, unpretentious spot in Montreal that diners consistently praise for generous portions, tasty Japanese and Asian fusion dishes, and very reasonable prices, with frequent notes about friendly service, a welcoming homey vibe, and a menu that includes gyu don, tonkatsu, chashu don, miso cucumbers, and yam fries; while the space can feel cramped and can get crowded at dinner, leading to wait times, a few visits mention inconsistent dish quality, and occasional misfires like curry, the overall verdict is positive and DonDonYa remains a reliable, affordable go to for students and locals seeking comforting, well-executed fare.

Have tried this place a couple of times now. It's a comfort food kind of place, casual & homey, a place you go with a couple of friends. Food tastes good, sizeable portions, for a very decent price. Seating is a bit small & uncomfortable, but manageable. Each time we walked in around at noon, there are seats available, but the place fills up fast by 1 PM. Service is friendly & attentive. Worth a try if you're in the neighbourhood.
Love the place! Must visit. Great food, good portions & very good price. I tried now about half the menu & love it.
You are missing out if you haven't been.
Perfect if you are on a budget & want a meal that is filling! Definitely try out the chicken cutlet curry & the fried chicken. It is crispy, satisfying bite to it while also being juicy & tender.
Pour moi, c'est de la très bonne bouffe japo-coréenne dans une ambiance sympathique & correcte à prix raisonnable. Côté ambiance, disons juste que ça manquerait peut-être un peu de lustre pour une première date. :))

Very good food at a fair price, a very underrated dish is the Chicken Thai basil. It is slightly cramped but its part of the charm. The picture below is chashu don.
