Amazing wonderful well seasoned food. I got the salmon and the chicken rice balls and both beef rice bowls. I was blown away by the flavor! Came back the following day just to bring my husband. Service has room for improvement. Will happily return again.

I was excited to try this place but I didn't enjoy the chicken katsu don that I ordered. the chicken katsu was very tough for some reason, and the rice was water-logged, with a puddle of water sitting at the bottom. The egg was nice and fluffy and tasty though.

The food was very delicious and hot. We had the chicken ramen ,pork gyoza and takoyaki. I would recommended it. All that and 2 frinks for 60$.

Authentic Japanese street food! Start with the Gyoza, test the waters with omusubi (not pictured - we ate each way too fast), then dive in to some Yakisoba or Okonomiyaki. I’m sure the ramen and rice bowls are just as amazing.Limited seating so try to go when the weather is mild. Extended patio helps but there’s only one outdoor heater. Ready to quench your thirst? Don’t expect “typical” Coke or Pepsi products. Venture out and enjoy a white peach Calpico or a rice beer.

The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant looks very cozy, comfortable, and clean on the inside.I ordered Karaage and my brother the Katsudon. The food was fresh and presented well, even in the takeout container. However, I did not find the food to be spectacular, especially considering the exorbitant prices (easily the most I've ever spent per person at a takeout restaurant and I just got two entrée with an appetizer to share).I might come back again, but it will probably be a while before I try again.

We discovered Don Express based on positive internet reviews. The establishment exudes a cozy and relaxed ambiance, which we found quite appealing. However, it’s worth noting that the seating capacity is limited. Despite the chilly weather, patrons were compelled to sit outdoors due to the indoor area being completely occupied.Regarding the culinary offerings, our experience was a mix of hits and misses. The Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl) and onigiri rice left us underwhelmed, lacking the expected depth of flavor. On the other hand, we thoroughly enjoyed the ramen, Takoyaki, and the delectable Japanese Fried Chicken (Karaage Chicken).In terms of pricing, Don Express strikes a reasonable balance. Additionally, ample parking spaces are available outside the establishment.
