    Donburiya or Donburi-house is an authentic Japanese experience to cuisine away from the world of sushi. From the grill to rice bowls Donburiya delivers strong flavours and a solid trip to Japan. Taste: 4.5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value for Money: 4/5 We had: 1) Eel rice for 2: A great highlight and a good amount of Eel on top. This is a dish you can mention and I can then already taste in my mouth. A must try! 2) Grilled Salmon Belly with Mayo and Roe: A little overdone on the mayo bit but the Salmon was delicious and the roe was a perfect pop to it

    I went a little after lunch on a Friday and it was pretty quiet and nice! Servers were attentive and our food came out pretty fast. Overall the food was delicious! I really enjoyed the cold tan tan men, was perfect for a hot summer day (a bit spic but not too bad). The katsu was also crispy and a bit of a thicker slice. One thing, I ordered a glass of sake but it came in a sake shot type of way (just expected it to be served like a normal cup size for the price). But other than that, I enjoyed the spot!

    Came here after an afternoon at Central Park. I was craving some sort of warm beef soup, and got the sukiyaki udon. It was SO good - the udon noodles were chewy and plentiful, the beef was tender, and there were additional toppings like an egg, shaved ginger and enoki mushrooms. Out of everything, the ginger probably could have been left out or replaced with a milder vegetable as I felt the ginger flavor clashed with the rest of the soup. Nonetheless it was so good and I ate/drank every last drop! My partner got the Yakiniku don and we both agreed that the sukiyaki udon was better. The inside is cozy and service is friendly!
