Dondoko - Cairns

The Japanese rice bowl at this restaurant is extremely tasty and authentic. The staff is very friendly and honest, and you can even call ahead to place your order.

This restaurant is a hidden gem that serves fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared Japanese cuisine. It may be easy to overlook, but it is a must-visit for any Japanese food lover. The prices are reasonable and the food is incredibly delicious.

A must-try for Sydneysiders! This cozy restaurant may only have a few seats on the street, but it is a hidden gem. I have been disappointed by Japanese restaurants in Sydney that serve Korean Japanese dishes, lacking in authentic flavor. As someone with a Northern Asian background, I can discern between real Japanese food and Korean imitations. The food at this restaurant reminded me of dishes I've had in Japan, not at a Japanese restaurant in Korea. It was delicious. I wish I had discovered this restaurant sooner in my trip, but I am grateful I got to try their food before leaving Cairns. The pork with egg dish recommended by the chef was perfect. If I ever return to Cairns, this will be my go-to spot. The staff is also very friendly.

Soooooooo good!!!!! I am going to try every dish!!!!!!

Delicious food. very friendly owners making authentic Japanese food. Highly recommend their crunchy chicken. Sushi is fresh and delicious as well
