Donburiya

"This is the go-to affordable Japanese late-night dining spot of choice in the Theater District. The menu is long, like at any izakaya, but highlights include the namesake rice bowls — try the one with soft eel — chicken katsu curry with a rich, beefy sauce, and sizzling crab omelets drenched in heady seafood jus. Note that tipping is included in menu prices. Reservations available." - Eater Staff

"Donburiya feels more like a bar where someone might stand on a table than it does a calm sit-down restaurant, but that’s part of the fun of this casual Japanese izakaya near Times Square. Almost everything on the menu costs less than $15, including their specialty donburi bowls, massive onigiri, and $9 carafes of hot sake. If you’re looking for a rowdy spot after a Broadway show, Donburiya should be at the top of your list (they stay open until 2:30am)." - Hannah Albertine

"When a craving strikes in Midtown after midnight, Donburiya is there to the rescue with good and greasy fare until 2:30 a.m. almost every night of the week. The unpretentious vibe and solid roster of katsu curries and other dishes have made this a longtime favorite haunt of Japanese expats. The donburi, or rice bowls, topped with garlicky stir-fried beef or crispy tempura are a safe bet. Don’t miss the sizzling crab omelet." - Diana Hubbell
