Don Don Izakaya
July 20, 2012Seafood Doria (~$8) |
Salmon Neck |
Skewers combo ($3 each or $6 for 5) |
Bacon wrapped prince mushroom, Bacon wrapped asparagus- Bacon was salty (naturally), but the mushroom was fine.
Beef - overcooked! :(
Chicken - the best out of the five because it wasn't overcooked, but it was too salty! (I know, I ordered salt, but still... maybe teriyaki is better?) The taste was rounded out better with a squirt of lemon juice.
Pork Kimchi Udon (~$8) |
Having read not-so-good reviews on Don Don, I was hesitant to eat here, but it was close to where I was at the time so I decided to give it a try. My mom and I sat at the bar area so we got a close-up view of the chefs preparing the food. The interior is a traditional style izakaya with wood decor; the staff greet you when you enter and leave, but it's not as loud as Guu. Total bill came to $40 for the 4 dishes and a sake sampler. While it wasn't horrible, it definitely does not compare to Fin or Guu - if you're in the area, better off going to Guu Izakaya, which is not too far from this location.
