Dondonya (Plaza Hollywood) — Restaurant in Kowloon

We had lunch on a weekday, it wasn’t busy and we were seated immediately. The waitress was kind to offer us each a paper bag to place our mask in after we finished measuring our temperature. There are small bottles of hand-sanitizer on each table, glad this establishment is doing its part on taking the necessary precautions against Covid-19. The lunch menu includes a fair amount of choices , we chose 2 types of bentos including 2 add-ons. The Eel Bento & Towada grilled Wagyu & Onion Bento were both served with salad, mini-egg roll & mashed taro. Both the bentos are delicious & enjoyable; they used Australian beef for the Wagyu bento and the onion & beef was served with a delicious sweet sauce. I’m not a fan of the mashed taro, tho the egg rolls are good. The deep-fried jumbo shrimps were simply crunchy & delicious, pity they don’t serve them with any sauce at all! Some Japanese mayo would have been even better. The Deluxe sashimi was fresh, it includes 2 slices of salmon & scallops & one big shrimp. Forgot to mention both bentos were served with an apple juice. All in all, this place serves a decent lunch, pretty attentive service, a good choice to have a...

Came here because of the new Butadon pork bowl.

It is basically slices of pork with sauce and some peas sprinkled on the top.

The person who answered was extremely helpful and patient unlike some other restaurants.

The green peas gave it a nice sweet kick.

I would prefer the pork to be leaner because it still had some fat attached and the amount of pork that I ate was equivalent to two slices and the fatty bits I did not...

Dondonya offers a variety of Japanese dishes, but the food quality is overall average but pricey.

I tried their sukiyaki, and while the flavor was decent, the chicken in it was not great. It had a strong, unpleasant odor or "gamey" taste.

The pork cutlet katsu curry was okay, with a satisfying breaded crust.

The beef sukiyaki oyako don set was also average. The biggest letdown, however, was the shrimp sashimi, it just wasn’t fresh. My mouth became itchy, which is a sign that the seafood wasn’t as fresh as it should be, and this made the experience quite unpleasant.

Overall, it’s a place that could do better with freshness and flavor consistency, but it’s not terrible for a...
