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!!!

Très belle découverte. Très bon rapport prix qualité.
Le bol de poulet tonkatsu était excellent!
Toujours heureuse lorsqu'un restaurant du quartier met de l'attention & de l'effort dans non seulement ses recettes, mais aussi sur l'ambiance chaleureuse.

I was craving a good tonkatsu after my japan trip. This place delivered a pretty good product for Montréal's standards. They have good rice, the pork is not overcooked & it has an okay crisp, & the price is good. It is far behind the Japanese standards however. The veggies are a bit too basic & random, the breading is not fluffy, tasty, & crispy enough & most importantly the sauces are very basic & were a big disappointment to me. That being said, I'm really demanding. Taking the low price into account & the Montréal standards, it is pretty good.

Fan de leur première adresse depuis toujours j'ai bien aimé cette succursale Beaucoup plus grande que l'autre & superbement décorée Le croissant onigri thon avait un petit côté sucré salé qui ne m'a pas tant plu Le sandwich tonkatsu était quant à lui très bon
