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.
A rather small interior is more than made up for by quality of the food. The authentic Japanese flavours are delicious, & the cocktails are fun Japanese-inspired takes on familiar drinks. The service is very friendly & sufficiently quick, plus the prices are extremely reasonable for a quality restaurant. For fans of Japanese cuisine, this place is a must. We will definitely be going back!

I've been craving some good Japanese comfort food since visiting Japan years back & this place definitely scratched the itch!! I can't wait to go back & try more things on the menu
Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Mention spéciale au staff ultra-sympathique qui vous mettent à l'aise immédiatement, ça donne vraiment envie de revenir. Au niveau de la cuisine c'était super & vraiment unique par rapport à ce qu'on peut voir dans les restaurants japonais habituels (ex. sushis/ramens). Tout simplement un must.

La nourriture est excellente & à un prix très raisonnables, le service est super aussi & tout les personnes est très sympathique quoi demander de mieux. Je vous le recommande sans hésiter. 😋😋
Discovering this restaurant was like stumbling upon a hidden gem. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with warmth & charm. The service is impeccable, & each dish is a culinary delight. It's a definite must-visit for anyone craving a memorable dining experience.
Très mignon comme endroit ! Un restaurant de quartier qui propose divers "donburi" (bol de riz avec accompagnements). Leur spécial avait l'air très bon, le "mapo tofu donburi", mais j'ai choisi d'y aller avec le classique katsudon (des lannières de porc frit). Légèrement trop cuit : la panure était dure & l'intérieur sec, mais j'ai terminé le repas avec satisfaction. Mes amis ont pris le gyudon & le karaage don, qui sont biens selon eux. Un endroit pas pire pour prendre un verre ou amener une date, si les deux, vous aimez l'univers des anime japonais. Ça reste abordable pour un repas simple ~18$
I give 5 star & if I could give more I would give more stars. This place is phenomenal, the food, the service, we were very well welcomed & they explain very well there menu on top of that. I forgot myself that i was in Montreal due to the nice decor. If you need a nice place to eat or impress your guess this is the place. My husband & I will definitely come back. 🍻🍚🥢 D & J
Très difficile de trouver mieux pour le prix. Une équipe sympathique, de la bouffe réconfort assez saine & super délicieuse. C'est un endroit à conseiller!
