Don Day has tasty food and very nice service. We had lunch there recently. The seafood pancake was excellent and my kimchi stew was extremely tasty. My partner's food was also very good. And the person serving us was friendly and prompt and took pains to make sure our kid was happy.
We will definitely return to Don Day.
I was on the southside of the city and felt like some Korean food for dinner so I looked up Don Day and went right over. It's rather small and you can easily miss it driving by. Their outside sign doesn't light up so yeah it's hard to see at night. But once you get there it's rather small, you can see the entire restaurant in one glance. It's a mom and pop shop which is cute. It was a cold rainy night so me and my girlfriend decided on some soups/stews to warm us up.
We got their Tteokbokki, which looked rather messy on the plate when it was given to us (the sauce almost spilt over when she gave it to us). Taste wise it was delicious, nice and spicy with nice chew. Next was their Seafood pancake and this one didn't impress much. I like mine super crispy and soft on the inside. This one though was neither, more so soft and mushy which did not make me happy. Flavour was okay but I just couldn't get over the texture. Thankfully there's dipping sauce.
To the soups and stews my girlfriend got their Kimchi Stew and I got their Pork Bone Soup. The Kimchi Stew was nice, delicious and spicy, chalked full of stuff like tofu, kimchi and pork. But wait during my girlfriends search through her stew there was absolutely no pork to be found...sad. My Pork Bone Soup faired better as it did have pork in it thankfully and went nicely with rice. I found their side dishes (Banchan) to be a tad lacking. We only got Kimchi and some pickled cabbage. Sad as I like my side dishes but oh well.
This place is small and cute but for me personally I have a better connection to other Korean restaurants for overall food quality. Lots of hits and misses here sadly.
