Tucked away in central Auckland's High Street is a hidden Japanese restaurant that's small but perfectly formed. The Don is a Japanese donburi (rice-bowl dish with fish, meat or vegetables) place that serves a big range of tasty and wallet-friendly food and drinks.

Get your friends together with a couple of The Don's cocktail jugs, a selection from their range of tapas-style little bites or mains to fill up before a night on the town.

One of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Auckland City!

The Don must be the cutest little Japanese restaurant in town. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's a cosy little spot with great-value nibbles and meals. I love how each meal comes with a side of complimentary miso. Make sure to try the cheesy spring rolls - yes, it's just as ridiculously delicious as it sounds.

 Need delicious Japanese food on a night out? The Don is your dream come true. They serve a huge range of tasty Japanese food including both main dishes and an extensive range of tapas style bites. I love the deep fried camembert with a salty/tart plum sauce. The tofu don is also delish.   My favourite thing about this place though, is the cocktails. They are simple, but well balanced in flavour and at such a great price! We had a jug of Moscow Mule for $10 and a jug of Margarita for $12, making this a great place to start a night out!
