In fact, if at home, you take rice, put it in a bowl and put some meat sauce on top, it would be technically a donburi! Are you sure they did not know what was donburi or they did not want to make one for you? Given this is a popular dish in Japan, if the waiting staff is Japanese and/or the manager is Japanese and/or the chef is Japanese, any of them would have pointed you in the correct direction! Jenny, if that is the reaction as a result of the post, then my job is done! :D CA, if it is as spicy as you suggests, probably I should go again! And this is despite I might end up sweating a lot, hehehehe. Monchichi, donburi would be a rice bowl dish, i.e., a bowl of rice with different toppings on it.

It was pretty good. It's spicier than I expected from a Japanese restaurant. But I guess that's why I like it. I would give it about ©©©1/2:) Great post btw. I just had a mapo-tofu there yesterday.

The prices are really reasonable for that area. Therefore, I think I will give this a try the next time I an in downtown.

I'm definitely one of those people who like rice so much that I could eat it on its own, and it's probably one of my most liked food! Went to a Japanese restaurant the other day which didn't have don-buri (or probably because I tried describing it really badly). What is donburi exactly, because the restaurants I've been to have different versions of this?
