It’s no surprise that I’m addicted to Japanese food, particularly cheap, tasty and filling Japanese dishes. Dondonya manages to satisfy all three of these criteria through its selection of low priced donburis, udons, and curries. The day I went it was quite empty as it was around 3pm- quite late for a lunchtime, and hence very easy to get a seat.The interior of the store was fairly clean but we were seated at a table where the hot air from outdoors kept spilling in.Above shows the menu with the
The interior of the store was fairly clean but we were seated at a table where the hot air from outdoors kept spilling in.
Above shows the menu with the selection of rice bowls and udons available- each order comes with a free drink, and you can add HK$10 for appetizers such as corn or fried chicken. We settled for the Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl (HK$48) and Fried Pork with Ginger Sauce Rice Bowl (HK$45), and added a side of fried chicken.
The Chicken and Egg rice bowl had the perfect proportion of chicken to egg to rice, and the chicken was tender and flavoursome. However, the egg was a bit too undercooked in places for my liking, although when mixed with the rest of the ingredients tasted okay overall.
The Fried pork with ginger sauce rice bowl came with 3 slices of pork- which doesn’t seem a lot but when you pull apart the pieces into separate bits you could actually fit in a small slice of pork with each bite of rice. The ginger flavour complemented the sweet tasting pork and the dish also came with fried onions scattered throughout the meal. I also incorporated the pickles served at the side for that extra sweet “kick” to go with the onions and ginger.
As for the fried chicken- well you can’t really wrong with fried chicken, can you? Overall the meal was delicious and not pricey at all. I’d definitely recommend it!
