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.
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 ❤?
I Was in a rush, the cashier was amazing! She was able to suggest something that would not only taste delicious but didn't take long to get (less than 5 minutes!!) 10/10 I will come back!
FYI the place is small so it would be great for couples not large groups
