Doni Korean Restaurant - Surrey, British Columbia

I discovered Doni through a Korean community, learning that it had recently relocated from Surrey to Henderson Mall in Coquitlam Centre. Intrigued by the positive reviews, I decided to visit during a weekday at off-peak hours, shortly after 3 PM. I ordered the spicy pork cutlet, and it did not disappoint. ... The batter and pork thickness were excellent, and the dish was well-executed. Although the sauce was flavorful and creamy, it wasn't the typical accompaniment for Korean pork cutlets and was spicier than I expected. I didn't quite like the sauce tbh. However, I loved the texture and the flavour of the rice, and the sliced cabbage was fresh. Next time, I would opt for the non-spicy version, though I couldn't find it on the menu this time. Located on the 2nd floor of Henderson Mall's food court, the area was clean and well-maintained. Like many Korean restaurants, Doni uses a small remote that rings and buzzes when your order is ready. The employee was kind, and the ordering process was smooth. Some have complained about long wait times for their orders. Despite there being few customers, my order took about 10-15 minutes, which suggests they fry the cutlet fresh upon ordering. Otherwise, the wait time wouldn't make sense. Considering the inflated food prices elsewhere, Doni is very affordable. I'm definitely returning to try their Korean-Chinese menu items and dumplings. Keep up the good work! Read more

The king is dead. Long live the king! There used to be a Korean restaurant where DONi is now, and that place used to have great Korean food at a great price, and my go to place at this food court. I was sad to see it gone and replaced with ... DONi, but I still ordered from them anyway. The shrimp fried rice quality was excellent and I think the pricing is not too bad as well! Will definitely be taking advantage of their grand opening sale and try a few more items! I think this place is my new go to place at the food Court! Read more

I usually don’t post my pic but I have to because it’s first post :) After the sudden shutdown of DONI King George left everyone in a tizzy, I am so happy to say that THEY ARE BACK!! Same great flavour and similar menu as their old location. Same amazing service albeit ... it’s now in Henderson Mall Foodcourt and served in foodcourt containers. But it’s no less delicious. It tastes the same, people! They’re running a promotion for their grand opening so come one, come all. Read more

Price point and taste wise, this is a very good Korean restaurant. Interior design leaves little to desire but quality of food should make up for it. We loved the taste of the fried dumplings especially. Also the noodle soup was excellent. Soup was rich while ... the soaked dumplings were awesome. Stone pot mixed rice tasted great too. It could be little spicy for some people but sauce was too good. Squid can be little chewy but they were generous with portion size of squid. Parking’s plenty in the plaza though it can be busy at times. Overall, we will definitely return for more. Read more
