I can't believe I haven't posted about this place despite of visiting it multiple times in the past. Don Tojo is one of the Don Don branches and I prefer this branch over the other ones because it's less crowded in comparison. It's known for its cheap foods (under $10!), a large portion size & lightning fast service - there's nothing more you can ask :) I like its pleasant but casual pub-like ambience but be aware that it's not really a place where you'd go for a date.
I always get Curry Chicken Don (~$8) here. Chicken is well-seasoned and cooked spot-on everytime making it all juicy inside. Curry sauce is savoury with a hint of buttery taste which goes well together with chicken and rice. Although it's not an "authentic" Japanese venue, it's a perfect place to swing by for a quick bite especially after a long day when you just don't feel like cooking at home.
Tip: You can ask for extra meat which is only ~$1.5 more and they give HEAPS (I don't think you can get extra meat at other branches so that's a huge plus). They also give out extra curry sauce for free if you want more.
An awesome cheap eats in the heart of Carlton!
This place has been around for awhile now and they serve up amazing japanese food. Love their bento boxes and chicken curry.
The portions and quality of the food here is good. Love visiting Don Tojo for a quick and happy meal
Don Tojo messed up our orders many times - might have been understaffed, but I gotta say in terms of value this place is great. They were very generous with the portion! Teriyaki chicken may have been a little bit too salty, but I enjoyed it anyway! I would come back here again:)
Don Tojo in Carlton was a stone's throw from Lygon Street. We made the effort to visit this place after hearing many good things about it. Being fans of their home base, Don Don, we had high expectations.
We ordered the soba salad. The cold buckwheat noodles were cooked expertly and the salad dressing was divine. Then there was the niku soba where you could choose to have it with beef or chicken. I had it with the chicken which was deliciously tender and juicy.
Overall the food was great. It was outstandingly good value, fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and quick.
Don Don, you've done it again!
This is a great place if you're looking for something yummy and practically the entire menu is under $10!!
The menu mainly consists of beef and chicken and despite the cheap prices, the bowls are big with lots of meat! We also ordered the udon and the soup was very flavourful which was nice on this cold day.
The restaurant has a very relaxed with the exposed brick and music.
Cheap, cheerful and tasty.
Ordered: fried chicken, chicken curry don, chicken teriyaki don.
Standout: fried chicken.
The price was good for the extremely generous portion size. I ordered an udon bowl and they were happy to customise it to suit a plant-based diet (except for the broth, but I was happy to compromise on that). The curry seemed to be lacking in variety, but it was very good value for the price all the same.
The place is a value for money. It’s food is good and healthy. I ordered the curry with tofu. The service here is appreciable. The long queues during lunch move very fast. The staff is fine... for their work is pretty quick.
Chicken Curry Don ($7.90)
⭐️ 4.5/5 ⭐️
🍴Go to for affordable and yummy Japanese dons that come in huge portions to ensure a substantial, filling & enjoyable meal (look at this big bowl). Despite always having a long queue on weekdays from the uni crowd, the service is fast and the food delivers 😌. They have a small menu with choices of chicken, beef or vegetarian (tofu), as well as udon or rice. 📍Don Tojo, 164 Cardigan St, Carlton, Victoria, Melbourne

一家在cardigan st的日式快餐，感觉去的local比较多，墨大学生知道这家店的还是少数。
第一感觉就是，太便宜了吧，价格在7-10左右，但是量也一点都不少哦。和室友点了curry chicken和teriyaki chicken don。肉肉给得炒鸡多了，但是味道偏咸，而且上面红色一条条的一开始以为是甜萝卜干，没想到是生姜味。。真的是。。。
总结！价格便宜！总体分量适中！肉多！速度很快！但是很咸！
10 years past as of 2012, meal is so cost effective for local students.
Ordered Pork DonKatsu, tasty as per usual; however, today’s fried chicken was too salty, too much pepper on top, May they were too busy to prepare all quality food.
I don't know how anyone can fault this place. It's cheap. Large portions. It's delicious. Friendly staff. The food comes out SO QUICK. I love this place. My favourite cheap eats. I might just go live in Carlton so I can eat at this place every day haha
My favourite as well as the most visited restaurant in the last four years. They have been consistent with their food and service equally. I don't think you can find a better curry-don in Melbourne. And they are giving it for the best price in town too. which makes it phenomenal.. There was a time I had lunch there every single day for a few months, and it never bored me. If you are around UniMelb, a must visit..
Cheap and cheerful food and beer, particularly good for students and young people on a budget. Incredibly quick service and never fails to be insanely tasty. Always worth the trip.
Too good. This is 松屋 in Melbourne.
I smashed the food under 5mins... no time to take photo.
P.S. there is ONE free parking spot right in front of the restaurant!
