cant fault them on anything! great price, great food and great service :)
Really quick for staff to pack the food into containers, food really good for price although the menu is limited. Don don box really delicious, I’m full from half of it already and will have the rest for dinner, that’s how value for money it is.
Start with the salad first the fruit and mayo mix well and creates a nice combination
Meats chicken and beef are cooked well although the sauces itself can be quite salty, the rice will help with that. Overall cheap, delicious for price and quantity
Will eat there again
Can’t really fault this place at all, the portions are massive and the prices are cheap as. Great feed for those days you don’t want to spend too much :)
Food: Okay.
Service: Pay and sit.
Ambience: Inner city. Loud students. Like that.
Value: Was almost going to give 3 stars, then I thought, who am I kidding? This is exactly what I came for.
Great place for a quick lunch. Very affordable, great value. Amazing taste. I had a sashimi bowl. Huge amount of sashimi. Some of the best sashimi I have had. Amazing.
Probably my favourite eating place in the city. Food is cheap but tasty & filling. Adore the vibes here.
The price is very affordable yet the taste was so good! One of the best Melbourne Cheap Eats.
I bought a tofu curry don yesterday for lunch. It was pretty good; the curry had a tiny bit of a kick, the vegetables were all good and the tofu was cooked well. For $6.90, it was definitely worth a quick and delicious lunch. I appreciate the lovely service at the counter and I look forward to coming back again to try their other options!
Ever since being hooked onto sashimi bowls, I've been on a hunt to try the best bang for the buck sashimi don. I can now safely say, Don Don does one of the best, if not the best valued Sashimi Don in Melb!
I visit Don Don almost once a week - they consistently have good customer service (pretty good for a fast food takeaway restaurant), efficient and big portions for what you pay! By accident, I also discovered you can request to not have specific toppings like ginger & salad, they will end up giving you 1 more slice of Tofu and a bit more pickles instead! Love that even though they are cheap and high volume, they never skimp on the ingredients and always fresh in quality.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :)
Well being a good fan of Japanese food, this place is a pure gem. My favorite is the chicken curry don. lots of chicken pieces together with some green veggies plus rich curry sauce. Yum
Came here twice during my visit to Melbourne and was absolutely blown away. The best Japanese curry I’ve ever had, the sauce was amazingly good and the chicken / pork were very crispy. Serving size was generous and all for around $10. I can see why this place is so popular with people of all ages (but particularly uni students). 10/10 would recommend
Cheap, tasty Japanese foods tucked outside of Melbourne Central. I only wished that the dish included more vegetables. Additionally, the staff only comes out to clean the tables every now and then.
Overall, great food and portions for the price if you're looking for a quick eats!
Ah, this is a great place if you want decent, affordable food quickly. I had the sake don with miso soup and green tea and it cost me $14 in total. I enjoyed the sake don, there was a generous amount of fish and sides and just the right amount of rice. The miso soup is on the bland side though. I haven't tried the other food options in a while but I remembered them being pretty good too. This place does get crowded quickly. I arrived around 11:00 am and by 11:30 there were a lot of people lining up to order. If you want to eat in, I would suggest arriving earlier rather than later. Toilets were also not available when I was there but hopefully that will be rectified soon.
Cheap eats.
$8.70 for some sliced meat soaked in sake sauce and rice.
Can't complain for the price.
Quick fix, easy to eat. Extremely quick serving times.
Used to often eat at Don Don in 2014, but since then I've been employed elsewhere. Now that I work in the city again am ecstatic Don Don is still operaring during these turbulent times and am very grateful. Food is fresh and flavoursome, it felt like a reunion with a long lost family member.
Best value food in the CBD. Sukiyaki Don comes with a generous serving of beef, and is only $8. Tastes amazing, and only a 2 minute wait!

Wow when people say "best cheap food in the CBD" they probably aren't lying! The Chicken Curry Don was delicious.
Meals are quite small, but very good value for money.

The best cheapest Japanese foods in CBD so far. The taste is fair, the service is quick. Most of the time always ready around 5 minutes since payment made.
I know it's not designed to be the most delicious, but to be the most suitable for their target market. Even during slow time is still making very constant customers coming. And make quick order even have long line during lunch time.
I paid for $11.80 for my Sashi Don, is the most expensive i could get, but still decent amount of portion.
The cheapest is $8.20 for Tofu Curry Don. Seems the range is ultra cheap in the middle of CBD.
It's very suitable for tight budget travelers that still want fair service and taste of Japanese foods.
+ Cheap
+ Big Portion
+ Quick Service
- Messy table during rush time
- More smile for server staff 😃
Conclusion :
Nothing better than Don Don so far in Melbourne with very good location, quick service, and definitely best price. All parts that need to be upgraded is seemed unnecessary as long as Don Don still keep the price affordable and quick for the product and service. So glad to have you in Melbourne ⭐️
