Donburi — Restaurant in London

I recently visited Donburi and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for both a quick meal and a relaxed catch-up with friends. I tried both the ramen and udon, and each bowl was cooked perfectly. The noodles had just the right texture – firm yet springy – and the broth was rich in flavour without being too salty. You can really taste the quality in the ingredients, and the portions are generous for the price, which I found very fair compared to similar places in the area.

The staff were a highlight of my visit. They greeted me warmly, checked in during the meal, and genuinely seemed to care about the customer’s experience. It’s the kind of friendly service that makes you want to come back again and again.

Donburi strikes a great balance between value, taste, and service. Whether you’re craving a comforting bowl of ramen or a satisfying serving of udon, this is definitely a place worth trying. I’m already planning my next visit to sample more from their menu. Highly recommended for noodle lovers in search of good food at...

A strange place

First of all the food is amazing. Especially if Japanese food is your thing. But the customer service although polite is lacking on the organisational front

Example 1; ordered spicy prawn rice from Ritual app. Picked it up and it was plain rice with absolute no spice

Example 2; re-ordered the spicy prawn rice and went to pick them up. Again no spice and when I pointed this out the lady dashed some chill flakes onto it

Example 3(!); ordered Katsu prawn rice via Ritual app. Order was rejected 10 mins later, so I paid them a visit in person. The lady behind the till explained they had no prawns left, which was fine. So I ordered the 'Beef gyudon' from the same rice section. I ended up with BEEF UDON noodles

So like I said, a bit strange. Food however is very tasty but organisational and customer satisfaction skills need a...

The food here is really nice! The portions are actually quite large, so I don't feel too hard-done-by when I pay £8-ish for a curry bowl, because it's a reasonably sized bowl of curry and rice. The Chicken Katsu curry is my favourite, though. The chicken is so tender and moist, and the batter on the chicken is crispy and well seasoned.

My friends and I go there for lunch at least once every week, but anyone that goes there should be aware that it is very small, with little seating. Therefore, going there during the lunch rush (12:00/13:00) will mean that you'll have to get take away, rather than eat in as there will be nowhere to sit.

Honestly, I might even go...
