Decent atmosphere, wide selection but mediocre food makes Don Don Izakaya pretty low on my list.
Located on Dundas near Bay Street, Don Don is in quite a prime location. Coming in late on a Thursday night, it was a relatively full restaurant but we didn't have to wait for seating. We ordered a number of dishes:
Fried pork belly - this was not very good, i couldn't even taste the meat and it was like eating fried dough. There was also a bit too much sauce on it.
Fried chicken - this was average fried chicken to me
Tako wasabi - great, but I feel like it's a bit hard to screw this one up
Beef rice - bland and boring
There was an awesome beer special $10 for a pitcher of Sapporo!
I probably won't be coming back, but if you've exhausted the better Izakaya's in the city, give this a try.
