Review Summary

Dondonya comes across in reviews as a tiny, cozy, affordable spot that consistently delivers delicious Japanese and Asian fusion dishes with generous portions and solid value. The atmosphere is described as intimate and cute, with a warm, friendly service, though the space is very small and can get crowded at dinner, sometimes leading to a wait. The menu wins praise for favorites like gyudon, tonkatsu, okonomiyaki, donburi, gyoza, and inventive fusion options, with many diners noting the quality, freshness and flavorful sauces, and standout items such as yam fries and popcorn chicken. A few notes mention not wheelchair accessible and occasional concerns about cleanliness or dust in certain corners, but these do not strongly distract most people. Overall, Dondonya is seen as a reliable, affordable, and cozy choice that brings repeat visits from locals and visitors alike, valued for consistent food quality, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe for a casual lunch or intimate dinner.

Bonne place pour manger des plats originaux, & la carte est quand même variée. La place est très petite donc il est recommandé de manger à emporter. J'ai pu manger sur place lors de ma visite, mais les sièges ne sont vraiment pas comfortable

Excellent service: The dry beef curry, popcorn chicken & the sweet potato fries were amazing as well as their pudding dessert

Nice little spot in downtown Montreal, food was amazing & there was so much to choose from, I would suggest to tidy up a bit the place since the space available is not a lot it's easy to go from cozy to messy but like the vibe.

Came around a month ago, the lady serving us was lovely & kind. Nice ambience to the store, & nice variety of food. The curry could've been better.

Le bol de boeuf était sublime. Enveloppant ma bouche tel un drap de soie, les saveurs explosaient dans mon orifice buccal. Mon palais a peu été autant stimulé, en tout cas depuis mon escapade en Thaïlande. Jamais n'ai-je vêcu un aussi bon service. Tel un ange provenant des cieux, la serveuse était prête à pourvoir à nos moindres désirs. L'environnement éclectique stimulait mes quenoeuils. C'était cool 😎!
