Don Don - Darlinghurst

My new best value restaurant in Sydney. $10.50. You just never know what is around the corner in this city.. and this place, literally a block from where I eat all the time, is an absolute rock star. Firstly, very Japanese and a very authentic vibe. It's a small place but feels really cosy and the service is very friendly and excellent. Given the name of this place I had to try the Don. I went with the chicken katsu don. Given my lofty expectations, the dish did not disappoint - damn that Don is good! Perfectly (seriously perfectly) soft rice. Moist, juicy chicken covered in a beautifully crisp crumb. And all covered in a soy/sugar egg mixture lightly fried and draped over everything. The pickled ginger is like the icing on top of a cake, so good. I want to go back and have another bowl right now! Get there

Cute little Japanese restaurant. Food is very well priced for what you get. The food was very satisfying and I have no complaints on the quality and service :)

Very good value Japanese food. This place is not fancy. Its basic Japanese food don't reasonably well at a cheap price. Food 3.5/5 Value 5/5

Excellent choice for a rainy day. One does not want to be any closer to a fancy deco after you are half drowned In the street. The simple water proof furnitures make you at ease. The food is simple, warm, not demanding on the stomach. It gives you the energy to step into the chill world outside again.

No fuss no frill basic Japanese food around $10. I have tried udon, bento box and beef don, they were all delicious and generous portions. Don't expect posh decor or service, you actually have to pick up the food yourself from counter. But it is definitely good value for money. thernbdiary.com
