Kita no Donburi - Vancouver

The Donburi is delicious and offers great value for its size. The service is decent, but there can be delays in receiving your food, even when the restaurant isn't busy. There is a high likelihood that you will leave smelling like the restaurant.

This is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in downtown that is not sushi-focused. It is conveniently located close to my work and they serve delicious katsu don, especially the curry katsu don. The portions are generous and you order and pay first before they bring your food to you. While they do offer sushi, I usually opt for one of their many don options. The prices are reasonable for a downtown location. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered the oyako donburi and dynamite roll. The dynamite roll was unlike any we had tried before. The donburi was also delicious. This is a fantastic spot for quick and casual Japanese food. We will definitely be coming back.

This is where I was introduced to Donburi a few years ago. There are reasons why I have been back often. They are friendly,not expensive, and fairly quick. Maybe a little too quick. This time I had the Bibimbap and it could have profited from either a little more time in the bowl or a hotter bowl. I love the crispy rice that usually forms and was a little disappointed this time. Still the flavors were good and and the hot sauce that comes on the side brought the warmth level up a bit. Miso soup doesn't usually get me too excited but this was tasty. The other items that I have had in the past have all been enjoyable. I'll be back again.

Haven't been here too often because the ventilation is very very poor.  However, I've always enjoyed their chicken katsu curry.  The stone dishes seem quite popular.
