These fries are amazing 😍. Perfectly crispy french fries that aren't dry even though they are thin and are free from burns. Definitely the best fries I have ever eaten - salty, crisp, light and not greasy. Add some nacho cheese and shredded parmesan. Simply glorious 🧀🍟.

I believe Don.档 aren't selling the dragon fries anymore. We tried to get them but were told it has changed. Also, the price changed from $6->$8! So.. it's kinda pricey 😓.

Sous vide goodness salmon and egg 😍. The salmon is finished with a blowtorched yummy mentaiko mayo sauce. Also, the salmon steaks were soft, tender and moist, so do take note if you prefer your salmon firmer 🐟. The egg is perfect with that runny lava yolk and it just goes so well with the furikake on rice 🍳🍚.

This place is super affordable and value for money. And there's cheap parking across the road!

At $9.90, this bowl of Salmon Mentaiko Don comes with a decent sized slab of Norwegian Salmon that has been sous-vide before topped with mentaiko and flame-torched, atop a bed of rice that has been sauced with teriyaki. Accompanying it is an onsen egg with runny yolk that is perfect as a rice mixture while the tangy pickled vegetable is a great compliment. However, I prefer my fish to have a firmer texture which I find this sous-vide salmon to be too soft for my liking and an additional touch of salt will do wonders to accentuate the natural flavours. Additionally, the mentaiko is lacking the umami flavor. Overall, this is a place worth checking out for a quick Japanese meal fix.

Having read some good reviews, I decided to have lunch at DON and try this monstrosity of a rice bowl. Upon reaching, however, I realized that the price had since been raised from $28.90 to $38. Nevertheless, hungry and excited, I proceeded to order it and was told there was an expected waiting time of about 15-20 minutes.

Presentation wise, this humongous bowl would make a pretty addition to your aesthetic Instagram feed. The plethora of ingredients atop a generous bed of Japanese rice included:
- Thai green curry chicken & Garlic parm chicken 🐓: basically just (deep fried) karaage tossed in different sauces.
- Wagyu beef 🥩: thinly sliced and blowtorched, nothing spectacular
- Tempura 🍤: a light crispy batter encapsulating prawns, enoki mushrooms, long beans and soft-shell crab. Was not coated with any salted egg powder.
- Mentaiko salmon 🐟: was soft although slight fishy, blanketed in a mentaiko mayo that had a good char.
- Iberico pork belly 🐖: melt-in-the-mouth with crispy skin, arguably the best thing in this don.
- Sous vide egg 🥚: mix into the rice for best mouthfeel.

Overall, the Kyodai Don was palatable but not mind-blowing. It lacked depth of flavor and at $38 (from a previous $28), didn’t seem like value-for money.

Very tasty bowl when everything is mixed together, especially with the onsen egg and pickled vegetables. The pork is Super tender, but kinda missing the hard crackling you are familiar with from those Chinese roast stalls, but a decent plate of food!

👍 Miso Salmon Don ($9.90). Love how the salmon was perfectly cooked- not too overdone and not too charred, with the right amt of tenderness and texture. The miso sauce had a nice subtle touch but for a more va va voom experience, go for the mentaiko sauce!
