Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Ichidon Winkitchen, a one-man operation in Yishun, consistently delivers on generous portions and flavourful dons.

The Salmon Mentaiko Don, priced at $11.90, is a standout, praised for its ample mentaiko sauce and fresh salmon.

Other popular choices include the Unagi Don and the Cutlet Don, both noted for their quality and taste.

The onsen egg is frequently highlighted for its perfect cook.

However, the 'one-man show' aspect means wait times can be significant, especially during peak hours, though many reviewers find the 15-20 minute wait for freshly prepared food acceptable.

Consistency with the beef dishes appears to be a point of contention; while some rave about the 'perfectly tender' Beef Truffle Don, others have found the steak to be 'insanely chewy' or 'a bit hard'.

The Teriyaki Chicken, while tender, can be overly sweet without a balancing element like pickled vegetables.

We think this spot is best for those who appreciate a dedicated chef and don't mind a wait for fresh, well-portioned Japanese dons.

It's a reliable neighbourhood gem, particularly for the salmon and cutlet options.

What customers say

Ichidon Winkitchen in Yishun is highly praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and authentic Japanese donburi, with the Salmon Mentaiko and Beef Truffle Don being particular standouts.

While the food is generally well-received, some customers experience long wait times due to it being a one-man operation, and there are occasional inconsistencies with steak tenderness, particularly the Truffle Steak.

The owner's friendly service and dedication are frequently highlighted.
