DonToo

Japanese

What’s more densely packed than DonToo at lunchtime? A bowl of their dinnertime-only ramen. From 10 types you could pig out on tender pork belly, gooey soft-boiled egg halves, made-here noodles and vegies with crunch in thick miso broth. It’s an edible definition of umami in a relaxed semi-industrial setting. Don’t miss dunking pillowy gyoza in vinegared soy – skin just the right side of charred, juicy pork and cabbage filling. At lunch, it’s soba or udon noodles and ‘on rice’ don dishes, such as Japanese tofu curry or soy-marinated chicken. Coming in well under $10, it’s no wonder customers keep coming in droves.
