This new Japanese place along Tras Street has been open for more than a month, but not much about it can be found online, so thought I’d write something about it :)

Don & Tori’s menu consists mainly of donburi, maki, sashimi and yaki mono (grilled dishes). We ordered the Salmon Mentaiko Aburi Maki ($25, can’t go wrong), Grilled Japanese Eggplant with miso paste ($16, a bit oily), Chirashi Don ($25, good selection of fish but wish the portion was bigger) and the pictured Sakura Ebi Angel Hair Pasta ($32).

The pasta was springy and al-dente, and just at the right temperature (slightly cool). The sakura ebi, white truffle oil and caviar made the pasta very tasty.

All in all, a good place for Japanese food with lots of crowd-pleasers such as Truffle Gyu Don, Chirashi Don and flavourful Maki rolls. One suggestion would be to make the portions bigger to justify the prices.
