LeDon Donburi feels like a tiny, cozy Japanese haven in the city, a hidden treasure where the atmosphere, food and staff often come together to create a homey and welcoming dining experience. The bowls are consistently flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and a variety of donburi, takoyaki, gyoza, korokke and karaage, plus seasonal items and a selection of well crafted cocktails and mocktails, with mentions of a dessert option and umeshu as a plus. Guests note quick, friendly service and attentive staff who accommodate allergies and make guests feel at ease; reservations are advised because of the limited seating, especially for date nights. The ambiance is described as intimate and authentic, with anime inspired decor and a vibe that transports diners toward Japan, making it a place to revisit with friends or loved ones. While a few reviews point to small portions or a tonkatsu that was not perfectly fluffy and sometimes busy crowds, the overall impression is of good value, consistent quality and a genuine passion from the team, encouraging repeat visits and recommendations.
LeDon is a super cute restaurant with incredibly tasty food. You're always made to feel at home. I've been countless times & keep discovering something new to taste. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Bien content d'avoir trouvé ce petit joyau! Nous avions réservé & c'était essentiel vue la taille de l'endroit. Je reviens tout juste du Japon alors j'avais peut-être le goût de prolonger le plaisir?
Nous avons été très bien servis. Nous avons partagé plusieurs plats à 2 & les portions sont raisonnables pour le prix. Vaut mieux goûter un maximum de plats!
Nous avons ri, avons bien bu & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.
Merci pour l'expérience « hors-du-commun »!?
For anyone considering going here: I would recommend booking a reservation because it's a popular place
I also should mention that since it's a small, cozy restaurant with limited space, i'd recommend it as a date night spot, rather than a restaurant for large groups 😊
Petite restaurant chaleureux, excellent dès le debut à la fin, le service, l'ambiance, les plats, les cocktails. Je conseille fortement, pensez à reserver.
This place transports you into another world for a while. A real hole in the wall where conversation, delicious drinks, & incredible food all meet. I had the Natto (try it!) & the Unadon. Don't forget dessert!

I went there with the idea there wouldn't be any kind of surprises. I would be sampling another attempt at the gyudon, but hey I did get surprised. Not only did they add their own flair to it, special kimchi sauce on it not for everyone since it is a bit spicy as you probably wouldn't expect from a gyudon (you would get the choice to add spices at gyudon shops). The taste was crisp & tangy. While the main attraction the beef was close to perfection in tenderness & taste. It was my first trip there I'll probably go back to see how it stacks.
Had the tonkatsu too, but it was pretty burnt. I'm sure it was only this one time though so no points off.
As a regular customer who visits at least once a month, I can't say enough good things about Ledon Donburi. This isn't just a place I eat, it's a place I genuinely look forward to visiting. If you want to eat a Donburi.
The food is delicious with consistent quality. Every dish is prepared with care & attention, especially for me who has many allergies.
The level of care is hard to find & makes the entire dining experience feel personal.
I highly recommend Ledon Donburi to anyone looking to try different style of Japanese food, something that isn't like the usual sushi. It has a friendly atmosphere, & outstanding customer service.
Super Izakaya! On a visité le Japon à plusieurs reprises donc on opte à tous coups pour le menu izakaya (mais les donburri sont délicieux). Les Takoyaki sont vraiment bons tout comme le karaage & les gyoza. C'est un tout petit restaurant & fait maison. On recommande.
I had a wonderful experience at LeDon Donburi! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The staff was super friendly & made us feel welcome. The cozy vibe & anime-themed decor added a fun touch to the evening. Highly recommended if you're craving authentic Japanese rice bowls in Montreal!
