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.
Excellente carte, service rapide, prix corrects & plats succulents & copieux.
Une très bonne place pour qui aime la nourriture japonaise.
Attention à l'hygiène dans l'arrière salle sur le chemin des WC.

Late lunch on a Friday. Take out shares space with 4 x 4 seats, 3 x 2 seats, & counter space. This group puts out an amazing amount of food…. no, it's great food for the tiny space that they work from. They also have innovative teas & lemonades. The service was good but stretched a little thin.
Un des meilleurs restaurant à inspiration asiatique dans lequel j'ai pu manger! Les plats sont savoureux, gouteux, généreux & inspirants. Merci pour ce moment agréable, qui fait oublier que l'on vient juste pour manger à la base. Longue vie à votre restaurant, vos cuisiniers & votre service client souriant exceptionnel!
Rarement aussi bien mangé & aussi bien servi dans un restaurant! De l'accueil chaleureux, en passant par la qualité de la nourriture & de sa présentation, & par les prix affichés qui ont plus qu'accessibles, le DonDonYa est notre restaurant préféré, & de loin, de Montreal. Pour ces recherches de saveurs, la passion de votre métier & l'énergie que vous mettez à rendre heureux vos clients: MERCI!
Exactly what you'd want from an Asian eatery. Miso cucumbers were well seasoned & crunchy, gyoza was juicy on the inside & crispy on the outside, beef gyudon was a bit dry but still packed a ton of flavor.
The affordable prices & authentic cooking skills make it popular among customers. Taiwanese fried chicken is great, theirs pepper & salt seasoning is really delicious.
⚠? if the AC is more stronger, that would be perfect!

Si van a Montreal, este es definitivamente uno de los mejores restaurantes asiáticos de la ciudad, el personal muy amable y atento. Disfrutamos mucho la comida
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 ❤?
