    Don has a unique menu. Everything we tried had its own flavours and textures. We started with the Salted Duck Yolk Toast and Grandma was Here. Both excellent. The congee is a standout as well, my preference is for the Lion’s Mane congee. My dining partner had a sake tasting flight of three very different styles. If you are tired of knowing exactly what everything you order will taste like before you eat it, Don is your next stop.

    Everything was executed perfectly. Service was wonderful. There was a larger party of 8-10 and even then, it wasn’t loud, but we were sitting one table over from them. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house. Small, intimate, warm vibes.

    Had a great date night at Don! First time trying this spot, and got some great recommendations from Cliff. Loved how cozy and cute the restaurant was - appreciated all the little details from the decor and moss, to the artisanal tables. We tried a few items. Beef tartar was really nice and fresh - could have used a bit more salt or pepper for seasoning. Salted egg yolk toast was a lovely bite - toast was crunch with a great salted egg yolk topping, perfect to share. For mains, we got the seafood congee pot pie and the pork jowl rice bowl. The congee pot pie was really unique and I enjoyed the hot sauce a lot! The pork jowl was so tender and well seasoned, and I appreciated the wasabi to cut the fat. The tomato broth was great - I could’ve just drank a bowl on its own! Lastly for dessert, the rabbit candy crème brûlée. I couldn’t taste the rabbit candy that well but I love crème brûlée in general so I still enjoyed it. I liked the fresh strawberries on top. Overall, a great meal and I will definitely be back to try the rest of the Asian fusion dishes! Compliments to the chef and our server Cliff for the attentive service!

We love that you noticed all the little details—our cozy space is something we're really proud of! Your feedback on the dishes is truly appreciated. We’re glad you enjoyed the unique flavors and textures, and we’ll definitely take your notes into consideration. The congee pot pie and pork jowl rice bowl are some of our favorites too! And we love that you appreciated the wasabi touch. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon to explore more of our menu! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Cliff and the team. See you again soon!
