Their curry is just instant korean powder curry. its just nongshim brand. Katsudon is hard and dry. Only positive side is vibe of the resturant and the side salmon Sashimi, but overall its WAAYY OVER PRICED for something with ingredients you can just get at the asian supermarket.
Nice meal, but a bit expensive , small portion, 20$ for a meal and a coke add 10% tips and you serve yourself... it should be around 12$ it is the real price all around the world... even less in Japan
We got dinner here and the food is very solid. We ordered pork butt and mixed katsu don. Both are very flavorful and perfectly cooked. A big shoutout to the staff too. I forgot my purse there. They called and waited for me even though it already passed the closing time. Very nice and hardworking folks. I would definitely go back.
I really enjoyed the Ebi Katsudon. The shrimp was delicious, the rice piping hot, and the egg well cooked to order. Very nice staff. Seating is up a flight of stairs.
The katsu coating was a little too flakey, but I enjoyed the dish! The curry was very runny and flavorful. The radish cut the strong flavor gracefully. Enjoyed it!The restaurant is located on the second floor and they're doing construction on the building on the right so if you're not careful you might miss it. Contact-less ordering is done whe. You walk in. There are tables for indoor dining one or two flights up from that floor.
We both ordered the Sakedon and did all but lick the bowl clean! The simplicity and cleanliness of the first floor gave me the sense that my food was about to be GREAT- and I was entirely correct.I ordered to go and then got delayed on my way out the door so my food sat for an extra 15 minutes before I got to it. I was nervous about how the salmon would taste with the delay, but the way that the bowl was packaged with the fish separate from the rice was the perfect level of protection.The quality of the food was excellent for the price. Every component was intentional and with the perfect ratio. The salmon seemed to be great quality so there was no need to hide it under piles of unnecessary toppings. I am truly looking forward to coming back to try out the rest of the menu.
Very good signature dish! Salmon tasted little off but everything else was good!
Very disappointing. The old location was so much better. The rice was poorly cooked and the toppings were too salty. They also no longer offer tea like they used to. We were very excited about coming to DC to eat at Donburi but they must have changed cooks or something because the food was very mediocre.
For any of those who love "coco ichibanya's curry in Japan, this place isn't quite it, but its the closest I've tasted whilst in the continental United States thus far. Give them a try!
Delicious! Nice fast dining experience and incredibly yummy :) Staff was also so friendly. Loved the variety in my meal as well, I will definitely be back! Just note this was the perfect amount for me (a pretty small person), but might not be enough for someone with a larger appetite.
