It's the kind of place suited to a quick lunch break or a casual meal with friends, without sacrificing quality for speed.

A Menu Built for Choice

Don Don's philosophy is simple: fast food doesn't have to mean compromising on taste. The chefs prepare a wide range of sushi rolls, sashimi and fusion dishes fresh daily, and the menu reflects that range. There's classic nigiri-style sushi in flavours like salmon and avocado, tuna and avocado, teriyaki chicken and karaage chicken, alongside inside-out dragon rolls finished with Japanese mayo and teriyaki sauce.

Beyond sushi, the menu extends into hearty donburi bowls - teriyaki chicken, crispy chicken, karaage, spicy chicken, spicy pork and teriyaki beef, all served with a Japanese-style salad over steamed rice. There are curries built the same way, poke bowls loaded with edamame, corn, capsicum, seaweed salad, avocado and beetroot, and generous bento boxes that bring several elements of the menu together in one box.

Korean Fried Chicken and Tapas

One of the standout items on the menu is the Original Korean Fried Chicken - crispy and juicy fried chicken served with a side of fried chips and two dipping sauces, Korean sweet chilli and mayo. For those after something smaller, the tapas section covers salmon nigiri, takoyaki, prawn tempura, mini spring rolls, edamame, agedashi tofu, seaweed salad and inari.
