Oooh…you said the magic word - “seared tuna”. It is one of my favourites

yeah i like soba salad too, especially in summer.

The one on little lonsdale st sometimes offers seared tuna sliced on salad served with rice for the same price as sashi don. you should try it.

Thanks for that yongtze! I was in at the Swanston St store on Saturday, had had their buckwheat soba salad. It was sooo good and super fresh. I am not so thrilled by some of their beef or chicken dishes though - I find them a little dry.

Have you been to the don don on Little Lonsdale St? It too is a lot more spacious and possibly a bit more upmarket. It’s called don don too.

Hi there,

sashi don is great. in fact, the fish they use in don don is actually ocean trout, not salmon however, don’t think that it’s in any way inferior. good quality ocean trout has a very bright orange colour and it tastes sweet, the texture is also different from salmon. i can’t say whether ocean trout or salmon is better, they are just different.

by the way, there is another don don in south melbourne. the address is 5 bank street, south melbourne check it out if you’re near by.
