THE HYPE IS REAL.
I found Onnki Donburi through a recent BlogTO post and thought I better visit before all the yuppies (like myself) come through.
Onnki Donburi is very clean and elegant - all the seating is bar style with stools so it is more of a "fast casual" type of restaurant. A waiter will seat you and take your order, but you can also get take out at the counter.
The food is simple, yet so delicious. Reasonable prices and generous amounts!
Sake Lover:
- Generous portion of salmon sashimi
- Tempura bits on top adds a nice crunch
- The rice has a vinegar dressing on it, which I really enjoyed when mixed in with the salmon
Galbi Don:
- Also a generous portion of meat
- Well-marinated and good flavour
- It comes with a poached egg to be mixed in
Onnki Karaage
- Not oily inside, yet still juicy
- It is drizzled with mayo and topped with green onions - a slice of lemon would have been a good touch
I will definitely be back to try the other ones (the Ebi Triple and the Buta Red Fire) next time!
