Jun HengDecember 16, 2014Now this is what you call fast food. By the time you pay the food will be ready. The food is fast and awesome. I personally love the Japanese curry, super delish!
De-ice MeltyApril 16, 2016I just followed you guys review and when I ordered I got my meal straight away. It was amazing timing and beef sukiyaki was so good. Good place for having quick meal.
PauloJanuary 26, 2014Great place for a cheap as and quick as meal. I usually get the chicken curry don and it comes out faster than I pay. Great value.
Ivy MSeptember 25, 2019Very reasonable food and big portion! Hard to find such prices in CBD. My curry katsu rice had too much gravy - whole bowl was soaked. Would have been perfect if lesser gravy, taste was good!
Haiku ReviewsMay 4, 2017A local success. / It's fast. It's tasty. It's cheap. / What else do you want? #HaikuReviews
Kat 🐱December 10, 2019The salmon on Sashimi Rice Bowl is pretty good - the cut is generous and the sashimi tastes fresh, and it's cheap. I wish the salad is more well seasoned and the rice is warmer though.
PiguJanuary 2, 2017Can't go past this place for a fast, cheap and tasty feed. Beef curry and teriyaki chicken were both 👍👍
Phil PNovember 10, 2015A staple of university students and corporates wanting a fast, cheap and tasty meal. For the price point it cannot be beat.
Jon DDecember 6, 2013This place is stupidly good. $8.90 for a sensational box of rice, meats and salad, and they have it ready literally while you're still ordering it, how is this possible? Haha. Amazing!
Glads YunSeptember 8, 2018Soo cheapp with good taste 💪🏻 most importantly the food comes out so fast! Great for people who are getting lunch during their short breaks!
StaceyNovember 23, 2016So good, so cheap, so fast, meat to rice ratio is impressive (ordered beef sukiyaki)... would come back in a heartbeat.
TrizFebruary 8, 2012Lightning fast...the test is to get your wallet out before your food is dished up to you. Great for a refueling pitstop. And they're always playing funky music.
AskMenNovember 5, 2010Tasty Japanese curries, Nori & rice dishes are prepared fast & make for some of Melbourne’s best on-the-go lunches. The Teriyaki Don is a safe bet for newcomers.
Alec DayJanuary 8, 2021Taste was good! Unfortunately the place was not neat and tidy! The point for food and price are 9 but about the place it’s worth just 5.
Spandy AndyNovember 2, 2011My new favorite spot. $6.50 Japanese curry ready in seconds. It's also on the street with all the buskers. :-D
Ten years of teriyaki don for me! And it never fails to satisfy! Without a doubt, one of my must stops, everytime I'm in Melbourne!
Kanji IshiwaraFebruary 22, 2019The curry beef don is delicious, surprisingly filling and priced with the cost-conscious gourmand in mind!
Kimberley LeeJune 14, 2010Amazing - delicious, cheap, quick. They run like machines in there to pump out good food fast. And the menu is just the right size, i.e. a few really good options so you don't spend hours agonising.
Ken YipMay 11, 2015super quick service, cheap casual japanese, mostly bento boxes and donburis, under $8 pp, and mostly a place for students
Say EeFebruary 16, 2015Niku Udon is pretty delicious and they aren't stingy on the beef too, definitely worth the 7 dollars
Pit PJanuary 4, 2014Incredibly fast service. The chicken curry don is ace! Everything is incredibly fresh.
Fiona FaulknerMay 3, 2012Don Don you truly delivered last night. The food was yum yum, the music was pumpin' and Spandy Andy was jumpin'. This place is TIGHT & BRIGHT!! :-D
Incredibly cheap n good Japanese (nothing over $10), and a perfect place for a quick bite
Annabel SJuly 12, 2013Yes it's cheap and just nice for a take away meal. Place will be very noisy if it's packed, just be a quick eater if you're intending to have a chat. Too much tendons on the meat, didnt like that- Jon DMay 11, 2013You really can't go wrong with a Don Dom Box for lunch. And their new location is great!
Jesse StratfordAugust 18, 2012A Melbourne icon. Be ready to shout your order from the doorway (seiously). They take orders much faster than they can get the food out. You'll still only wait about 30 seconds for your dish though.
JFebruary 26, 2019No doubt it's cheap and served very quick, but the beef curry is watery and quality is low - far inferior to the one at Mappen (now closed).
Very quick n affordable meal...good for those who r in a big hurry but hungry 😆
SamMarch 30, 2014Don't have time to wait? Service here is very quick. Recommend the chicken katsu curry. Yum.
JSBMarch 8, 2011Everything on the menu is fresh, fast and delish. Have cash in hand before you order: Japanese efficiency at its best.
Camille BragancaJune 22, 2010Soo good I'm there at least twice a week. Cheap, yum and fast. And defs healthier than other food you would get in the same amount of time aka maccas.
Mise en beanJanuary 9, 2012Know what you want to order ASAP. Soup Nazi style ordering. Consistent and cheap! Tasty and awesome.
Sabeeshan KulenthiranAugust 21, 2014Quick food for pretty cheap prices. Beef teriyaki is worth trying
Joao FerreiraFebruary 4, 2017Teriyaki Don was boss. Watch out for the sparkling water, it's actually some weird juice.
NormzFebruary 15, 2011Has been a staple for many an RMIT student. I've been heading back here since '98.Must have the Sukiyaki Don if you're ever here
Wing Ho TangApril 2, 2010You should try the curry and the beef rice here~! =)Really great, make you full and great in economic value (All under $10)
