Review Summary

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.

The space is quite small. However the quality of the food is amazing! Highly recommend the fried chicken.

Food has nothing special. The tomyum was very blend, but the wakame was a good idea. The curry tonkustu was fine. The curry was good but the fried chicken wasn't crispy. Toilet has a rat trap. Great service by waitress. Seating has no back support on the wall side

Nice homely place for some Asian fusion. The popcorn chicken & gyu don are fantastic & they got great service as well!

I loved the cosy & intimate atmosphere. I had the miso cucumber & the Thai basil chicken bowl, everything was delicious. Friendly & efficient service :)
