  • A friend and I failed to nab a table at Santouka so we headed over to Don Don. I didn't mind as a friend of mine in the resto biz said it's really good and I had wanted to try it for a while, just never got around to it. Upon climbing all the stairs to finally arrive, we stood around while the staff chitted and chatted in front of us until someone was ready to indicate they were aware of our presence. The hostess/server seemed really confused which in turn made us confused until we were finally seated along the open kitchen "bar" if you will. There were a lot of Japanese patrons so I figured it must be alright (ie, really alright), but in fact it ended up being just OK (ie, just alright). The atmosphere seemed like an overly subdued version of the izakayas in Japan but the decor seemed right. We ordered a bunch of things, most of which I coudn't relay back without the menu in front of me..I do remember having the fwhat fwhat (the what??) burger thingies - pork belly on a steamed bun, hardly original and definitely not worth $8 for two; deep fried mackerel - not sure why we got this but it was dry from being deep fried and mackerel should always have its juices intact - our bad, what were we thinking? I was really looking forward to the black croquettes that everyone raves about but they were just weird and not very dense with potato, just runny and bland. They kind of reminded me of Elmer's glue - minus the smell - rolled up and coated in ground black sesame. We also got a few items from their monthly menu which were nothing special, and an assortment of other fish/seafood and pork belly-oriented items. We were feeling porky that night, what can I say...all in all there was nothing spectacular or memorable about any of the dishes and the hostess/server (the confused one) kept trying to snatch away our plates even when there was still half a serving left on them, and it's not like either of us are slow eaters! What's up with that? I guess when you're dealing with such small servings that are gone in two bites, half a serving could look resemble an empty dish. I had hoped Don Don would be as good as my friend said but it's not.
