  • 2.5* I was so looking forward to DonDon Izakaya (mostly because it didn't have the Guu-famed lineups). It is located at Dundas & Bay on the second floor. In addition to the group chime of Irashaimase, you will also get a drum beating to usher you in. DonDon's interior is made mostly of bamboo and wood with large communal tables, and some bar seats at their open-concept kitchen. The one thing I found extremely helpful was their menu as it contained pictures of many of their dishes. For me, the lack of service was a sour note. While there were many bodies floating around, everyone seemed to be occupied and it took several tries to finally get our orders taken. The food at DonDon was a disappointment for me. You had a choice of bland or too salty and the food itself lacked any distinct flavours. You will find a lot of deep-fried items, a lot of potato/creamy items and the garnishes they use are used exhaustively and repetitively (mayonnaise, mayonnaise and more mayonnaise). I am confident in saying this because we ordered some $350 worth of food and beverage split between 6 people, so we sampled most of their menu. The items that I did like were: Black Croquettes - This came with a side of ketchup. The outer shell was perfectly crispy and the inside creamy and soft. It was a textural symphony. Pork Kimchi Udon - I am a huge fan of udon, and the flavours worked really well with the kimchi. My only complaint is that it wasn't really spicy enough. Fried Mackarel Mayo - The use of this fatty fish was a good call. It just melted in your mouth and the mayonnaise made it even more luscious! Plum Wine Jelly - This was an interesting dessert, but very refreshing. While it is sweet, the plum wine adds a bit of a bitter ending to it, but not an unpleasant one. I was pretty disappointed with my experience at DonDon. Next time I'm in the mood for izakaya, I'll gladly wait in line for Guu. Or maybe wait for Kingyo to open up shop in Toronto in the near future.
