They only have one menu! Very traditional Korean style donkatsu. I have been wanting to try this place and had lots of expectations, the creamy soup came out as complimentary was awesome not overly powerful. Just about to boost up my appetite. We ordered the donkatsu adding one more patty of the meat. The katsu was crispy and the sauce was also blends in well with the katsu, but it was little thin for me.. Service was very attentive! I will definitely go back again read more

No frills joint that serves one thing. This place always hits the spot and it feels like I'm visiting an aunt for delicious home cooked food. read more

This place really surprised me. I've drove by it many times n always wanted to enter. Place was empty other than the young lady at the desk n a Old man teaching his grand daughter how to write. Felt so homie and I knew right away this was gonna be great. I look around n a sign on the wall says "only 1 item sold here" love it. So I walk up to the register n ask one to go. She says $12 , I pay and within 5 min the bag was ready. The food in the bag was piping hot. I couldn't wait to get back to work n open that up. They put the sauce on the side so the cutlet was so crispy n juicy. The sides all 10 of them were really tasty. This is one of those places were I will go to at least 2 times a month. It may not be the best food out there but it's good, quick n supporting a mom n pop place. read more

My husband and I really like the tonkatsu here. It's nothing fancy but it reminds me of my mom's cooking so much you can't help but love it. For the price and amount of food given it's such a great deal on top of feeling full and homey. The sauce isn't too sweet or tangy, just right in between and the meat and breading is thin and crispy. I really appreciate how and what they serve here. Will def be back when I crave my mom's tonkatsu. read more

Love this place! One dish! My kids and hubs love it! When in mood for pork cutlets, Yedon it is! 11.99 + tax! Great size! Yummy food! read more

I never actually thought this place was a restaurant until earlier today when my wife told me she wanted to come here. Sure, there's only one item on the menu, - pork cutlet- sure it's a little weird, and sure, I would hope they would start making more stuff. But that's not the point. The point is that it is a novelty and it's pretty unique. But it's a pretty damn good and I hope you recognize it too. I would recommend it. Thumbs up. read more

The food is ok. Price is definitely not worth it. Customer service is the worst. I ate here for a couple years but the food quality gets worse, less portions and the prices just keep going up. One thing that stayed the same is the lady owner's disgusting attitude. The owner will act rude if you don't pay in cash. There were many altercations but I am not the type to write reviews, hence this is my first review. This time, I went to go pick up my order and gave her my card. She said cash only and I replied I only have my card and left the card on the counter. Meanwhile, another customer walks in and she helps him before she helps me when I was clearly waiting in front of her to take my payment. Just because another customer walks in with cash doesn't mean you help them first. read more

Honestly I wanna support a family owned small business but this restaurant certainly doesn't want to be. They never seem to be welcoming you and doesn't seem to care anything about customer service (especially the owner lady). The portions have gotten smaller over the years. Like the other review, they will give you a issue if you don't pay with cash even though they do accept credit cards. Food is mediocre. There are many good donkatsu places in Flushing/Bayside that are very welcoming and friendly. Avoid this one! read more

This is one mom and pops store where lack of variety is actually its selling point. I've frequented this place ever since it opened around 2010, and it has failed to disappoint me yet. Although the price has steadily increased from $9.99 (from when it first opened) to $11.99 (present time), the quality of the food has remained steady. If you have a large appetite and don't feel like dishing out too much money for dinner, this place is for you. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very homey, and is obviously not meant for huge crowds. You can often see families with young children, or hungry teenagers waiting for their meals. The walls are decorated with "Le Petit Prince" art, which makes for a humble environment, and the faint sound of a Korean playlist will play in your ear. The workers will greet you with a nice smile and lead you to a wooden table, where you are given cups, cold barley tea, utensils, and piping hot cream soup (the pepper is a nice additive to this). If you dine in, your plate consists of two fresh, steaming pieces of pork katsu covered in their special, homemade tonkatsu sauce. Do not expect crispiness when the katsu is clearly soaked in sauce. The plate also consists of a small pile of canned beans, corn, two small balls of white rice, a fistful of salad, octopus-shaped sausage, mini tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) sitting on a cupcake tin, sliced cucumbers/radishes, and an orange slice. You can also ask for kkakdugi (pickled radishes) on the side; the tanginess of the pickled radish compliments the sweet-flavored sauce of the katsu nicely. Needless to say, the favor is wonderful and unique. One plate is enough to fill up a person, but if you want extra meat, you can ask for an additional pork slice for a reasonable price ($5.99 last time I went). If you choose to take out, they wrap up everything aforementioned in a nice little bento box, with their special sauce packed in a little bottle. I recommend dining in, however, because it's best fresh out of the kitchen. I went very often with my late father, and due to our frequent visits the owners began to recognize us and greet us with drinks on the house. Very smart customer service, from a very sweet Korean couple whose child (usually seen coloring or playing with dolls in the corner) I watched grow up. And considering they only have one menu item, they have seen steady business, which says a lot about their food. Again, it is incomparable with fancier restaurants, but that's not what people go for- it's the friendly attitude of the workers, simplicity of the dish, and charm of the homey atmosphere that makes this a perfect place to stop by for a meal every once in a while. It is very humble and sweetly quaint. The flavor will remind you of family. And at the very least, the aesthetics make for a nice Instagram picture. And no, their meat is not reheated in the slightest- if you sit at the table across from the kitchen, you can see the food being made fresh on the spot. read more

The place is okaayy. The furniture is dilapidated; there aren't that many seats. The menu is hand written on a neon poster paper. It's relatively clean though. There is only one item on the menu. The donkatsu itself is soft, not crispy at all. But it's served pretty thinly, which I liked. It comes with a salad, and other condiments. There's something homey about the meal, as if your best friend's mom made it for you because the dish is ordinary and not done to perfection. I think this is a good thing. So, don't expect anything fancy or amazing. read more

I love this pork cutlet. It's korean style. I ate korean traditional pork cutlet on my birthday since I was young. They also serve soup. It's a taste where I can feel the memories of my childhood. read more

YeDon has an uncommon business model. It's a mom and pop business and it had only one item on the menu. I did come into this restaurant with an expectation that their Donkatsu will be something special since that is their specialty. Unfortunately, my expectation falls short. Their Donkatsu is special in the sense that it can almost replicate a homemade Donkatsu taste. I was eating my Donkatsu next to the table that the owner's daughter was doing homework. Although the owner's daughter sought attention occasionally, the owner managed to be attentive to her guests as well. Just eating Donkatsu with my girlfriend and witnessing this scene made me feel humble and to be in business for more than 5 years with slight concept changes; clearly, YeDon's customers see something worth more while than what I see. Come here for the experience, but my favorite Donkatsu is at Hansol Nutrition Center. read more

I've been coming back here time to time for so many years now. Every now and again I get a craving and once they come, I can't shake them off. The taste never changes and maintains that "childhood" taste. I think all of us Koreans can pretty much agree that the taste of their donkatsu, not to mention the cream soup is plain nostalgia. The portions are great and I can tell they are trying to "maintain" the pricing at the best of their abilities. If you are a donkatsu lover, don't forget to give this place a chance. read more

Family owned, and old school Korean style don kat su. It's been in the neighborhood for a long time and They only have one menu (It is near impossible for a restaurant to have only one menu and survive). Highly recommend read more

This is a little family owned restaurant on Northern blvd with ONLY ONE ITEM! IT's a donkatsu with rice and gravy and it's really freakin good! The restaurant seems to be the second home to the family who works there as occassionally you can see the children of the the families doing homework on the tables or something. I've been back here a few times for food since it's fast, tasty and quick! read more

Updated: the second visit was disappointing. Katsu was not fresh or crisp. Dare I say reheated? Will not return. I love this place! It's very Korean and simple, but staff are very nice. My only wish is that they serve curry katsu :) read more

Just what you can expect! They only have one item on their menu which is yetnal donkatsu. This means old donkatsu which actually means donkatsu from the old days. It is exactly what my mom used to make for me! The sides are also exactly what we use to eat with our pork cutlets. And the soup- i know it is not the best, but those who grew up with Korean culture- will know- ottugi cream soup! read more

As others have mentioned, you have one menu item here - donkatsu. Yes, it is good. It reminds me of what you would get in the countryside or bunsik in Korea. Breaded, fried pork cutlet, flattened, topped off with gravy. Love the slight crunchy texture which was softened and made a bit soggy by the gravy on top. I absolutely love places like this - family owned and operated small restaurants. Given the skyrocketing cost of rent and operations in NYC, these places are hard to find in Manhattan. There's a bit of homey feel here - it's an unpretentious environment where the focus is all on the food (and one item at that). If you're looking for a place with a nicer ambiance and more attentive service staff, you're going to pay a lot more for that donkatsu. It annoys me when people slam a small business because it doesn't meet their standard for a dining experience. You're paying $11.99 for basically two pieces of don katsu with all the sides and a soup. What do you expect? Set your expectations at a reasonable level for what this place is - a good meal at a good price, which represents a great value. read more

I have passed this place... hundreds of times... on my way to school and then on my way home. I always thought it was a nail parlor or something because of the way the Y was shaped so when I found out it was a restaurant... that served only one item... Well, I went. Interior kind of surprised me. It was more spacious and clean looking than I expected, with some cute drawings on the walls. The owners/employees were seated at a table in the back and jumped up to seat us, asking us if we knew that it was only one item. Indeed, we did! So we ordered two donkatsu and enjoyed our corn.. soup.. thing! It was $10.99 per platter with the $12.99 of a past price crossed out on the wall. It seemed like a pretty good deal to me based on the amount of food we got, but I also was able to finish my partner's second cutlet, so... No, really, it is a pretty good deal! Cold mugicha/boricha was given to us in a plastic refillable bottle alongside the corn soup soon before the food arrived. Talk about a big plate! You get two small mounds of rice, a few kernels (yeah, really) of corn, a few beans, two little octo-sausages, a mound of cabbage salad, three tiny rice cakes with some hot sauce on them, three slices of a pickled radish (always yummy) and two nicely sized pork cutlets with your meal. It was all pretty good. I'm not sure anything SUPER stands out, but at the price, ease of parking, portions and quality, I would say I will probably be a returning customer. Everything was good. The cutlet was great. The people were pleasant. Overall, a nice neighborhood joint. read more

This place make it so easy to write a review. One dish on the menu THAT'S IT! But going in, you are most likely aware of that already. Don't get me wrong, it's great for what it is. The pork katsu comes out pretty good. However, I truly believe they can make it even better since they only make one dish. Personally, I like my cutlets a little crispier and not drenched in sauce. I'll just ask for less sauce next time around. Also, there was a little too much of the thousand island-ish dressing on the salad. I'm not a fan of that dressing to begin with, let alone have that flavor overpower the salad. And a little more rice too, the two little scoops were definitely not enough for me. Maybe I had set my expectations too high purely on the fact that they specialize in one dish only, which is pork cutlets. Or maybe because I haven't had any beer that day and they don't serve it there either. Maybe that's why read more

See all

My cousin thinks this is the best donkatsu place hands down. For some reason, I didn't think it hella good. It was good though. I loved their presentation a lot more than the actual donkatsu. When you walk in, there really is only 1 thing on the menu. Makes it easier on the cooks. The meal comes with some kind of cream chowder then the plate. I wish there wasn't so much gravy on the donkatsu. And the gravy really was like gravy, it drenched the whole cutlets. I felt like I was eating salisbury steak more than pork cutlets. I love it when donkatsu is nice and thin and crispy. I would never know now whether the cutlets would have been crispy. So sad. =( read more

I was in the neighborhood and didn't know what to it. Found this little cute mom & pop place on yelp so decided to give it a try and I didn't regret. I asked for no rice and corn. LOVE the sauce! I will def come back again! read more

Great mom and pop tonkatssu restaurant. Great gravyyy Pros Great price Very generous portions Cute side dishes Simple menu (1 dish lol) Cons Variety read more

Family business. A decent average Tonkatsu with cream soup and rice cakes as service. The couple work very hard and they do their best to keep their customers happy and satisfied. Prices were very fair and considerate too. I'd recommend people for those who just want to grab a nice tonkatsu for $12 with soup, rice cake included. Very nice for kids. read more

Cute mom and pop shop. Theres only one thing on the menu so the server usually just asks how many you want. One huge plate of donkatsu costs only $10.99 + tax. It comes with two cutlets, corn, beans, rice cake, rice, and the typical korean salad. The food was good but wasn't a huge fan of the donkatsu sauce they used....hence the minus one star. I prefer the donkatsu at kimganae but if you wish to avoid the chaos in flushing this place is a good alternative. (they get extra points because they leave a jug of water on the table so you're cup is never empty) read more

It was great, offer only one menu which is great for people like me. It comes with two scope of rice, salad, rice cake, two piece of pork cutlet, baked beans, sweet corn, radish kimchi and a corn soup. read more

This place only has one item on their menu, and thats donkatsu. If you like donkatsu then try it! Its donkatsu as simple as it can get. They have old school donkatsu korean style sauce, and the sides are like oldschool lunch box additions. Typical Cabbage salad, rice, pickled radish, octopus shaped hotdogs, and rice cake. The donkatsu is thin and crispy! so if you like thin crispy donkatsu compared to the thick ones, this is the place to go! Its a small place run by a couple and their family members. Its cute. read more

A small family run business tucked in next to a bank that offers a simple, great tasting one menu: two donkatsu pieces and some sides, including coleslaw and corn. The restaurant is an intimate and humbling experience; the mom and dad duo work, while their daughter draws and colors in a corner. It's definitely not a high-end white tablecloth restaurant but it takes a level of appreciation to enjoy the homey environment. read more

So this place has only one thing on their menu: don katsu. ONLY one. When you walk in, they will not ask what you would like to order ask you how many. So when you see this little place doing so well, you know their don katsu is good! My family comes here all the time to eat don katsu. My mother, especially, refuses to eat don katsu from anywhere else. It is very kid-friendly, the couple who owns the restaurant are so sweet and knows every member of my family now since we really do go there like every other week. read more

Being a fan of a good Katsu, I have been to many Katsu places. This place is one of the places that are suppose to "specialize" in Katsu because that is all that they sell. This place reminds me of Sarah's House that used to be on Union Street, but it isn't as good. I miss Sarah's, too bad its gone now. Moving along with the review, when you first step in, there is no menu and you will be greeted with a glass of water. They would ask you how many plates you will be ordering. You can choose to add an extra piece of Katsu for about half the price of ordering another plate. After you order your meal, you get a small bowl of cream soup, its made from a instant powder soup base. I wish they would serve the veggie flavor but meh. Soon after you will get your plate of Katsu, with cabbage salad, some dduk kkochi (fried rice cake with tangy spicy sauce), two pieces of sausage cut into octopus shapes, baked beans, corn from a can and a piece of orange and two small ice cream scoops of rice. Katsu is topped with some gravy type sauce. You can ask for Kimchi because it can get a bit greasy after a while. I usually order the extra piece since I don't get full from just the regular order. If you have more than one person ordering extra piece, you might as well as order another dish, because the price of two extra piece is almost the same price of ordering another dish which comes with all of the sides. It's a small pop and mom shop, no fancy decor and not such good service. The staff just seems to be the two owners and often times you have to yell out if you need something. I agree with the other reviews that if a place specializes in one thing, they should do it well. This place isn't bad, but nothing special or amazing. Price isn't expensive but not cheap either considering they don't give you any side dishes except what is included on the plate of Katsu, and instant soup. Kimchi is serve only upon request. This is not a place that you crave for, but a place that you settle for when you crave Katsu and you do not have an alternative or lazy to go elsewhere. Food is consistent but nothing special. If you feel like eating Katsu and you are in the area, it is worth a try. read more

Very homey feel when you walk in. They simply ask how many orders you want, since there is only one thing on the menu. I thought the service was great. The meal itself was good, large portion and good flavor. The soup was a nice addition as well. Great for a quick and easy lunch. read more

YeDon - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

The only thing that they serve here is their don katsu so don't be surprised if they ask you "how many" instead of "what would you like to order?" You can tell by the food that the owners are in this business because they love what they do. The portions are huge.. It's like filled with love. Any other place they will give u the meat, salad and rice but this place is different. They came by to our table and kept playing with our baby and you can tell in their faces that they look so content. The food is delicious.. It's tastes like home. With the cream soup that comes with it.. I not only like this place because of their food but the service and everything.. Just makes me wanna keep going back there. Tip: you can get extra meat for $5 and extra sides like the dduk gochi and salad for $1. read more

They only have one thing on the menu and they do it well. Its family owned and I'm all for supporting small businesses. Meals come with two cutlets, rice, sausages, salad rice cakes, and for dessert a refreshing orange slice. Great portion especially for the price. THE SOUP! The soup is the best part. Sadly they are closed on tuesdays but this week we've ordered from them about 5-6 times for lunch. read more

One menu only! But when you're craving some good donkatsu, this is a great local spot to eat at! The amount of food they give is always perfect (you can order extra sides & meat if you wish). I love coming here for a quick korean food fix. If you're in the area & are craving some donkatsu, I would def recommend this place!! read more

Simple, but great at the same time. Delicious pork cutlet, with cute little octopus sausages. But its a shame you're closed on Tuesdays.

I order takeout from here about once a month - I crave their tonkatsu if I haven't had it in a while! It's super easy to order since they only do one item - just call and let them know how many you need! I normally don't eat the cream soup - it reminds me of what my aunt (who can't cook) used to make when I was a kid since it's just powdered soup mix. But the rest, I'll gobble it up! A super sweet family runs this establishment. I wish I could order Kimbap and other dishes here, but they do one thing and do it right! read more

My favorite donkatsu jip. Simply delicious and filling! Donkatsu is so fresh, thinly sliced, crispy and juicy. I love their donkatsu sauce, it's really good. Everytime I get their donkatsu, I always order a side of dukgotchi. I like the sauce they use for it as well lol. wish I knew how to make it so I can make it at home. read more

YeDon - Take out donkatsu, so good!!! Yum - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

My friend and I were saying how it's amazing how this place stays in business with only one menu option. Their pork cutlet is good, the food comes out quick with some good sides, and their portions are moderate. You can also add extra portions for a $1 each, but it's not really worth it in my opinion, unless you are getting extra meat. If you want a quick bite to eat and in the mood for pork cutlet, this is the place to be! read more

YeDon - The only menu option, mouth watering to me all the time! - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

This place is the best for Korean style port cutlets. This place only has one item on the menu. You come into the restaurant and just tell the owner how many you want. The pork cutlet platter comes with two cutlets and bunch of side dishes. The restaurant is small but worth it. read more
