Lovely vibes all around and friendly staff! Had a great time catching up with my high school friends and having drinks together, as well as celebrating the New Years there! Was served by Tony who was a delight. Would definitely go back! Sake bombs and Roll the Dice are such fun activities for drinking its what wants me to keep going back.

We ordered a hotpot but were served only after around 40 minutes, and then had to wait another 15 minutes to cook the food. It took almost an hour before we could start eating. I just wish there had been proper communication, we could have ordered something else if the dish wasn’t readily available. The food and place are still nice tho

Don Don Izakaya truly transports you to a fun night out in downtown Tokyo. From the fun decor, excellent DJ, delicious food and the lively chefs, this is a place you'd want to visit regularly. Anything you order here is great. We enjoyed the karaage, Angus beef skewer, shrimp, takoyaki and red dragon maki. The best seat in the house is in front of the chefs because you see their great team work and the skewer section is so exciting, especially with the flame grilled orders. It's also the best spot to enjoy the DJ's set. The DJ had a wonderful mix and tribute to 80s japanese city pop, making my night more nostalgic. Don Don izakaya's fun vibe will lift your spirits. I will be a regular here, especially after a long week at work. The sake ice cream is wild! Don't leave without it.

Loved the atmosphere, great spot for groups to grab drinks! We tried the Polar Beer, and I found it super refreshing, especially when paired with their skewers and the pork oyster mushrooms—highly recommend! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the yakisoba which was too dry and lacked flavor.

Food was delicious. Ambiance/atmosphere is what we enjoyed! Good music- not too loud for us to be screaming at each other. They have a drum roll that hypes people up. Service was fast and servers were nice

We ordered a bunch of stuff from the menu, but don’t forgot to have SAKE shots here. The most fun thing you can do with the whole table. Chicken tacos were delicious!

Busy little spot! Definitely come early if you can. The vibe is amazing here. The food is great, especially after a few drinks, haha. The only downside was that the homemade gyoza was a bit burnt and fell apart. Other than that, all the other food was amazing. Will be back again for sure! :)

This spot is GREAT!!! The vibe is unique and this is a fun place to be on a lively night in the city. The menu is large and the food was delicious. You can order many platters for the table and share with a large group of friends or family! Staff was friendly but it was very busy when we went so things were a little slow but overall still a great time. Highly recommend you visit here!
