Sharing with you our recent experience at Dohtonbori in SM City Fairview.
We had the chance to eat at Dohtonbori in SM City Fairview a few days ago
and we genuinely had a great time. The food was delicious and the seats were
cozy even though it looked cramped from outside. We were quite surprised by
how spacious the interiors looked when we entered the restaurant.
Dohtonbori’s Menu + Complete List Of Branches [With Food Review]
Also, to be honest, Dohtonbori is one of the restaurants in SM City Fairview
that we used to just ignore whenever we passed by it. For one, it was just
beside our favorite Mary Grace Cafe. But since we seemed to have run out of
new and interesting restaurants to try, we decided to check Dohtonbori and we
were glad that we did so.
Dohtonbori’s Menu
It was obvious that Dohtonbori is a Japanese restaurant but we didn’t know
what to expect from it. What I meant is that there are Japanese restaurants
that we go to wherever we craved ramen or sushi, and so forth. With
Dohtonbori, we had no idea where to begin we just decided to be on the safe
side.

Anyway, we soon found out that Dohtonbori specializes in Okonomiyaki or
Japanese savory pancake. Apparently, Dohtonbori is the number 1 in Japan and
in the Philippines when it comes to okonomiyaki. The restaurant takes pride in
being the only place in the Philippines where you can get the most authentic
okonomiyaki experience.
We didn’t try it though because the camembert cheese okonomiyaki that we
wanted to order was a little expensive at around P600.

What we ordered at Dohtonbori
Our orders weren’t really anything spectacular or adventurous. Mommy Khris had
Gyu-Don while I had Katsu-Don. We also ordered the Ajitama Tonkotsu Ramen
because it came with free Gyoza.
|
| Gyu-Don |
The servings were actually a little smaller than what we were expecting. The
Gyu-Don was topped with fresh egg yolk but it only had a few strips of beef.
Meanwhile, the Katsu-Don is a small piece of pork doused with sauce and topped
with egg.
Good thing that we weren’t so hungry or else we wouldn't be satisfied. It also
helped that the bowl of ramen is big; it’s really good for two people.
However, the gyoza were two depressingly small pieces of dumplings but they
were free so who are we to complain.

| Katsu-Don |
The only redeeming factor of the food was the taste. They were flavorful, at
least we found the taste to be satisfactory. We did like the Ajitama Tonkotsu
Ramen, probably the only thing that we’d come back to in Dohtonbori.
As a side note, a poster caught my eye which said that Dohtonbori is an equal
opportunity employer when it comes to autistic individuals. I think Dohtonbori
is very much commendable for having that program in place. It’s a big enough
reason for me to support this brand.

Epilogue
Dohtonbori offers delicious Japanese food although the food servings are a
little small. I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing because they might be
staying true with how the Japanese people would serve their food and that is
in small portions.
On another note, do try the okonomiyaki as Dohtonbori says that they offer the
best in the land when it comes to that. All in all, it was a nice experience
eating at Dohtonbori.
