A family favorite! We absolutely love the authentic flavors presented in every dish. Hands down, our favorite ramen shop around! We also really love and appreciate the new patio space. We can't get enough of Don Express -- but you won't leave hungry!

Don Express transports you to Japan with every bite! The staff is very friendly & service is consistently fast. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the takoyaki & rice balls are mandatory each time we go! So many authentic Japanese specialties, all made with love. Portion sizes are large, you get what you pay for here. We drive over half an hour, but would gladly drive further if we had to. So much respect for this place. Support this local family business!

I've been to Don's three times. First time was for take out, and the second times were for dine in. All three times were for lunch. I've had their gyoza, musubi, yakisoba, and ramen. All have been very delicious! They are a but pricey, but they give a LOT of food. The time I had ramen, the meat (pork chashu) had a funky smell, so I didn't eat much of it. But the noodles, ramen egg, mushrooms, and broth were delicious and flavorful! Also, I didn't right...
