| - I love Japanese food and I really love my white rice so Donburi is a match made in heaven for me. I have been dying to come here for a while now and I'm so glad I did because this place doesn't disappoint.
If I could have ordered the entire menu in one sitting, I would have. But you know that not really possible, so I'll definitely be back to try the rest of their delicious rice bowls.
For the appetizers, we ordered the okra, nonkotsu, and uzura-maki skewers to try out, as well as the takoyaki, shrimp tempura, wasabi oyster, renkon chips, and seaweed salad. The nonkotsu was chicken cartilage and pleasantly surprised me because it also had a decent amount of meat on it as well so it was definitely satisfying to eat. The uzura-maki was a quail egg wrapped in bacon, and was decent although I probably wouldn't order it again. The wasabi oyster was too heavily battered, but the wasabi mayo sauce had a nice little kick of wasabi in there. Shrimp tempura was light and crisp and the lotus root chips were oddly satisfying.
I ended up going with the umami don which included eel, imitation crab, and pickles served up with mayo and unagi sauce. The flavours are reminiscent of a takoyaki or okonomiyaki - sweet and creamy. I would have liked to see more toppings personally, as there's quite a bit of rice there. That being said, the don is definitely filling.
Overall, donburi is a great place to get awesome Japanese rice bowls and more. I will definitely be back for more.
