If you are tired of AYCE (all-you-can-eat) Japanese or Bento Boxes from the usual lunch spots, why don’t you try Japanese rice bowls. We had gone a couple of times to Donburi and we’ve always left with a full tummy. Donburi’s rice bowls (I know that sounds redundant as donburi literally means rice bowl) really hit the spot.

Grandma and I were challenged to finish the huge serving of Tendon (tempura rice bowl)--not because it was not good but the serving was huge! As with Bento Boxes, there were more tempura veggies than the shrimp. That was my only issue with that order. While there were 3 pieces of shrimp, they seemed to have been over-pounded to make the piece look bigger with the batter. It was tasty but I would prefer fuller pieces.
And despite the girls’ sharing of the Katsudon (breaded chicken rice bowl), we still had some left over. Their other specialty is Gyudon (beef rice bowl). The sauce is just the right sweetness without making the dish taste like dessert. I love the caramelized onions.

They also serve “Japas” (their version of Japanese tapas) with all sorts of skewers and even my favourite grilled squid! Perfect to complement your Sapporo or Asahi!

For about $10, each meal comes with salad and miso soup so it is a good value. Reasonably priced delicious rice bowls and fast service… Oishi!
