Donburi King is a brand new, small Japanese eatery that specialises in all kinds of rice dishes, from tonkatsu dons to their extravagant Signature Kaisen Don.

However, what caught my attention first was their oyster platter ($18++), which boasts a half dozen fresh & delightfully obese oysters from New Zealand, although that may change to Canadian oysters depending on the season & market.

The oysters are fantastically fresh and marvellously massive, with a nice light briny taste. Ponzu sauce is served on the side to inject more flavour into the mild tasting oysters, but the ol’ Tabasco & lemon juice combo is way too good to resist.

While it ain’t the cheapest half dozen oysters round town, it sure is worth it. Will I have this again? Shuck yeah I shucking will.
