The food is really worth it. Inexpensive yet very yummy. The only thing is that it is always really crowded.

I adore Japanese food, the food here was fresh and affordable and I left feeling full but didn't feel like I had indulged too much... will be back!

Oh my gosh. Don Don is incredible, what else can I say really? Firstly you know it's good when it's cram packed full of people, and the price of meals is out of this world cheap! Every time I've been I've ordered the vegetarian don which sweet jeebus is delicious. The tofu is perfectly soft yet still firm, the pickled red capsicum and ginger are crunchy and fresh, and the sauce, wowie! the sauce! it's everything you want during a busy lunch hour in the city, it's thick, warm, comforting and totally addictive, and they serve it with just the right amount of rice so the rice doesn't dilute the sauce, just enough to hold onto it. Okay I'm getting cravings now.

Use to be a frequent eater at Don dons as I really enjoyed their flavour and also for the value. Each dish only cost around $7-8. However I stopped going after once discovering a dead beetle in my soup half way through eating it. When I spoke to them about the issue they were quick to apologise and asked whether I wanted a refund or another soup. I was very surprised when they did nothing about the broth and soup they were serving the Niku Udon in which had the beetle cooking in there, I didn't address the issue any further as I was on my break from work and needed to get back. As much as I would like to go back for the flavours and value, I don't think I could because of that once incident.

Approximate cost: $7-$10

I have to admit that I was amazed at the great taste from this restaurant. The chefs there must have a secret recipe. The waiters are kind and caring and the prices are amazingly cheap. I would recommend this to anybody. 10/10

Approximate cost: $15.50

Never let me down in quality and prompt service. Bright cafe with good seating options.
It would be nice to see opening hours on the window as I wasn't sure what time they opened or which days.
Easy to get to, just off Swanston street next to the church.
Cheap and satisfying.

Approximate cost: $6-10

I was in and out. The place was packed yet food came quickly. All the Japanese usuals made nicely and quick. You don't go there for the customer service

Amazing value, very good quality too. You will be amazed how fast these guys make your meal. Once you order and are just exchanging cash, more often than not you will find you're meal awaiting you. Great to order and then takeaway to the state library.
