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 torikatsu was really good! It was not too expensive & the staff was nice, I definitely recommend this place. There aren't many seats so you might want to call in advance to reserve during weekends or holidays.

Excellent food & service. Yes, the place is small but worth every penny. The price aside, the staff was quick & efficient. Highly recommend you try this Dondonya.
