Don Don Izakaya - Toronto

The Izakaya in the heart of Toronto, near Dundas Square, is fantastic! I walked there with friends and we had a wonderful time. The lounge was packed with people and had plenty of seating, including private booths right across from the grill. The food was delicious with no complaints, and the staff were all very friendly, making it a lovely experience. The only downside is that the prices can be a bit high due to the quality of the food and the prime location.

I’ve been here a couple times but the music was weird in the past, the new DJ they got really got the vibe goingVegetarian options: They had edemame

Food was fantastic as always, and the ambiance can’t be beat. Of the many visits I’ve made here I’ve had almost no complaints but this time I’m sad to have to drop the rating.I’m happy to scan a QR code for a menu but they’ve now started offering a QR code instead of a waiter and it’s a big mistake. Getting the attention of waitstaff wasn’t easy when some of our food didn’t arrive, or when we wanted to roll dice for our drinks. Even paying the bill proved a challenge.I was here 6 months ago and they weren’t doing this so it’s not a holdover from the covid era either. I hope on my next visit they’ll have done away with this.

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! They went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday, even surprising me with a special drink. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the staff were all friendly and accommodating.
