Loved the food and service. I went to the DJ event there and sound was great too.

Our server never pushed us to buy anything and when I asked about one dish over the other, his sincere response made me get both! Amazing, quick service and intimate moody environment. I consider this a hidden gem and hope it stays this way! I didn’t take food pics because we were so hungry and devoured everything.
Very trendy atmosphere plus super attentive and awesome staff with some pretty good food to go along with the drinks.
The pork katsu sando and pork buns are both delicious small bites but the real standout is the caramelized corn. Seriously, it's sweet, crispy, and addictive.

Izakaya Dongame is a casual Japanese restaurant that offers a mix of traditional and modern izakaya-style dishes. The reviews suggest a mixed experience, with some highlights and areas for improvement.
The restaurant's ambiance is described as lacking in liveliness, with no ambient music and staff appearing disinterested. However, the cleanliness and bathroom facilities receive positive remarks. The food quality is generally decent, with the seafood mix and potato salad being standout dishes. The yakitori items, while well-presented, are said to lose some of their traditional flavor due to the use of a gas grill rather than charcoal.
Despite some shortcomings in service and atmosphere, Izakaya Dongame is praised as a solid neighborhood spot for casual dining and drinking with friends. The garlic fried rice and dishes like spicy tuna crispy rice and teriyaki chicken are highlighted as tasty options. While not mind-blowing, the restaurant is described as a welcome addition to the local dining scene, offering an affordable and unpretentious izakaya experience.
