| - I usually come here for lunch, but my co-worker wanted some happy hour drinks so we picked DonDon. Their kitchen doesn't open back up until 5pm, and we did arrive at 4:30. I ordered the don don special drink ($4), which was sake & lychee poured into a glass. From what I learned that day, the tradition in japan is that they pour the alcohol and overflows the cup onto a plate that is placed underneath. You are then able to drink the glass and the remains left on the plate. My coworker ordered a beer and we later ordered beef tataki, shrimp mayo, kiragi (fried chicken), and kimichi hot dog. Since it is an Izakaya, the portions are appetizer size. The shrimp mayo had batter that was crispy and it was delicious. The kiragi was deep fried and very crispy, which came along with a tasty dip. The kimichi hot dog was meh, there was nothing special about that dish.
Overall, I enjoy their lunch menu a lot more then their night time menu. The portion size and value is a lot better.
