Reviews
Chose this place out of three likely candidates in Newmarket. Had never been to any of them and this one sounded the nicest. It's a really cute little place. Not many seats. Dark and relatively intimate. The lunh menu is pretty simple. It's like a lunchbox - comes with miso, green salad and your choice of option. There's sashimi, sushi, beef, chicken and seafood. I asked if they could do a vegetarian option and the very nice waitress said they could do my a tofu steak - yum. She then came back and said the miso has fish sauce in it - would I still like it. This is really good service as a lot of places don't realise some vegetarians don't eat miso with fish. The lunchbox was really nicely done - came with brocolli, potato, onion and mega garlic flakes. On the side they serve a delicious ginger sauce, rather than soy. Nice change. The staff were really friendly and I'd definitely go back. I imagine the tepanyaki dinner is fun. Almost didn't want to load that image because it doesnt do the lunch justice. Believe me, it was much nicer than it looks.
The place changed it’s name to Heizo and it’s located in this quiet street. The service was fantastic, the food superb and the staff very warm and friendly. The chef was also funny and accommodating. The price was reasonable, even cheap given the quality of food, service and ambiance. We’re coming back again to support this place.

Good to hear. Nothing better on a bleak winter's day than to find a warm and friendly little local.
Don Don Rikka is one of our favourite Japanese dining haunts. A lot of people rave on about Renkon, but I prefer Don Don’s intimate interiors and their authentic Japanese touches. One of Don Don Rikka’s specialities is the unique Kamameshi. Literally it means kettle rice. Kamameshi is the art of cooking rice and a whole bunch of delicious ingredients (meat, seafood and vegetables) in a Japanese hot pot. The process takes about half an hour, but the result is rice that is infused with the flavour of land & sea.We often go for the set which includes two entrees and a mini kamameshi. Needless to say having so many dishes in addition to a decent rice meal set fills your stomach with ease. The service at Don Don can be a bit on and off. Sometimes extremely slow to the point of annoying. But with the cool interior and delicious food, it’s not a huge bother. Still recommended.
