Review Summary

Dondonya is widely regarded as a charming, cozy hole-in-the-wall in Montreal that offers authentic, flavorful Asian comfort food at an excellent value. Many patrons praise the generous portion sizes and consistent quality of popular dishes like the gyudon, tonkatsu, and yam fries, noting that the restaurant provides an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. While the space is notably small and can get crowded during peak hours, most diners find the tight seating adds to the establishment's unique, homey character. Although the service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, some reviewers have expressed concerns regarding the cleanliness of the facilities and occasional inconsistencies in food preparation, but overall, it remains a highly recommended spot for those seeking delicious, budget-friendly meals in the downtown area.

One of the rarest restaurants that has maintained a very reasonable price, great food quality & satisfying portion size. Enjoyed our time getting to know Jill (sorry if spelled the name wrong) which made us laugh & treated us to a dessert. Highly recommended for any occasion, either single or with a group of friends. Definitely one of my favourite places in Montreal ❤?

Thank you!
