"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." - Robert Sietsema

"For a true clear-your-sinuses experience I usually head to Donburiya in Midtown West, where the tantanmen arrives in chile oil the color of a venomous coral snake and just below boiling so I always burn my tongue; the chiles can induce a minor coughing fit before the body adjusts to a creamy, porky, miso-laced broth brightened by sesame oil’s aromatic sweetness." - Ryan Sutton
"I note that Donburi is included among the vendors at A Taste of Urbanspace." - Gabe Hiatt
"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
