Don Japanese Restaurant

Eat + Drink

Don Japanese Restaurant offers authentic Japanese in the heart of Canberra. Easily accessible from Alinga street.

The restaurant is just a two minute walk from Jolimont Tourist Centre, perfect for hungry interstate travellers, as well as public transport. Find nearby hotels a mere five minute walk away and the Canberra City Centre is only a 10 minute walk. Plus there are plenty of public parking spaces nearby.

Don Japanese Restaurant is often praised on their generous portions, authentic taste and attentive customer service. The menu offers a wide range of options made using fresh local and Japan-import ingredients. They highly recommend their Japanese Curry, Udons, Tonkotsu Ramen, and fresh Salmon dishes (Spicy Salmon Don is the owner's personal favourite).

They also offer late night Bingsu as well (shaved ice-cream), a famous dessert originated from South Korea from 9pm to 2am Thursday to Saturday.
