    Had a great date night at Don! First time trying this spot, and got some great recommendations from Cliff. Loved how cozy and cute the restaurant was - appreciated all the little details from the decor and moss, to the artisanal tables. We tried a few items. Beef tartar was really nice and fresh - could have used a bit more salt or pepper for seasoning. Salted egg yolk toast was a lovely bite - toast was crunch with a great salted egg yolk topping, perfect to share. For mains, we got the seafood congee pot pie and the pork jowl rice bowl. The congee pot pie was really unique and I enjoyed the hot sauce a lot! The pork jowl was so tender and well seasoned, and I appreciated the wasabi to cut the fat. The tomato broth was great - I could’ve just drank a bowl on its own! Lastly for dessert, the rabbit candy crème brûlée. I couldn’t taste the rabbit candy that well but I love crème brûlée in general so I still enjoyed it. I liked the fresh strawberries on top. Overall, a great meal and I will definitely be back to try the rest of the Asian fusion dishes! Compliments to the chef and our server Cliff for the attentive service!

    The restaurant is small, which is good, and super cozy. Went for valentines dinner and had a 5 course meal. Originally I though it was a bit pricy but at the first bite I realized we were in for an amazing experience and the price would be worthy. I wasn't wrong. Every single dish of the 5 course meal was spectacular, with different flavour combinations in perfect harmony. Plenty of food too! We had the opportunity to personally thank the chef and I told him it was unforgettable. I'll certainly be coming back soon!
    Don at KitsilanoResponded on 19 February 2025

We're delighted that you found the experience well worth it and that each course exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to hear that the flavors, portions, and ambiance made for a memorable evening. We truly appreciate your kind words and are honored that you took the time to personally thank our chef. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable dining experience!

    We were there for the dine-out and the food were really good! The salmon tartare and the torched pork belly were amazing. Service was ok, when we wanted to order a second round of drinks the server told us that we won’t have enough time as we only have 20 mins left for our table (when we were still having our entree). I understand it’s dine-out and it’s fair to have a limited time for our reservation but the way we were told and reminded of the time limit was a bit odd. I would go back for the food and hoping that we don’t get reminded of the time again next time and limited to only 1 drink for our dinner lol.
    Don at KitsilanoResponded on 19 February 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the salmon tartare and torched pork belly. We appreciate your understanding of the time limits during Dine Out, and we apologize if the way it was communicated felt off-putting. We’ll take your feedback into consideration to ensure a more pleasant experience in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back for another meal!
