A real Korean non-bbq experience. This place is geared towards a younger crowd who like spicy food and is willing to try new things.
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR NICE CLOTHES HERE. The type of food and the so-so ventilation means that you will be walking around with the aroma of spices after you leave. This is the kind of place that you go eat, go home to change/shower and then head out for a night of partying.
I think there might be 10 tables in the entire restaurant. It stays busy, have been there multiple times on both weekdays and weekends and it is always close to capacity, so please book ahead.
By far, my favourite item on the menu is the spicy pork bone soup (first item on the soup menu). It is a delicious soup with 3-6 pounds of slow cooked pork on the bone (depends on if your order the 2,3 or 4 person size) in the soup. Warning: this dish is messy and you will have to use your hands to eat it.
If this is the first time you have tried eating like this in public it can feel a little awkward but try to get over it. Almost every other table in Don Day will be eating this dish in the same way.
Other than that, the spicy calamari is very tasty and well prepared, just cooked to tender without jumping to chewy and comes with a large portion of veggies.
All in all, this is a wonderful place to go with some close friends for a great meal, even if the table manners wont impress a date.
