Le meilleur restaurant dans côte des neiges. La nourriture est délicieuse & pas cher (entre 13-16$ pour un repas). La bière tsingtao est seulement à 6$.

This is a nice hidden gem if you're in the area. The restaurant has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, & the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was well prepared, & the value for the price was excellent. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for a casual & affordable japanese meal.

A cozy quaint neighborhood restaurant!
Jill, the owner, is a wonderful person & hostess! This is my favorite spot in Cote des Neiges by far!!! I invite all my friends to come here. It is a beautiful spot to have a nice lunch or dinner, very nicely decorated, so many things to look at all over the walls. The bubble gum machines, little tiny hand made items for sale. Lots of pictures & notes from happy customers. Just so cute!!! Also great to order out or to pick up. We enjoyed the cucumber miso, gyozo dumplings, Tom Yum soup, menchikatsu, (my favorite dish), with Brown Sugar Ginger Tea With Osmanthus(also my favorite tea), Tonkatsu & a chicken with basil dish on rice with cabbage, carrots & corn. Our server, Ryan, on Sunday March 1st for lunch deserves 5 stars!✨✨✨✨✨ He was kind, attentive & efficient even though he was alone & it was quite busy!!! The kitchen crew are awesome, the food is always hot, fresh & beautifully arranged! I recommend customers ask questions if they're not sure what to order, ask for sauce on the side etc... instead of giving a bad review! The staff will do their best to answer all questions & accommodate you. This is a neighborhood gem & we are lucky to have Don Don ya in Cote des Neiges!!!

Reached out to dondonya for a small catering order for our wedding as late night take outs & wow the food was amazing! It was a big hit, the popcorn chicken was delicious, the gyoza & vegetarian onigiri croissant was to die for. It made our wedding so much more special. Highly recommend!
