With half of Sydney fresh back from Tokyo, it feels like everyone’s suddenly obsessed with Japanese eats — and we’re not mad about it. Sushi and ramen will always have a place in our hearts, but there’s a new hero in town: donburi. And no one’s serving it up quite like Dopa Donburi. From the legends behind Devon Cafe and Bistro Nido, Dopa has just opened its 10th (!) location in Broadway — a big win for anyone craving a quick, hearty, flavour-packed feed. The vibe? Whole food ingredients, top-quality produce (yes, that’s wagyu and foie gras on the menu), and bowls built to satisfy. Whether you’re into a perfectly grilled Angus beef don with a silky onsen egg or feeling like a golden Pork Katsu Curry on a wintery Sydney day, Dopa’s got you sorted. Got a sweet tooth? You’re in good hands. Dopa’s dessert menu is whipped up by Devon’s OG pastry chef Markus Andrew, and it’s next-level. Their flagship stores (Darling Square, Regents Place, Darling Quarter, Macquarie, and Chatswood Chase) dish up exclusive Japanese-inspired treats like the Murasaki Imo Shibuya Toast — thick-cut milk bread soaked in honey butter, loaded with purple sweet potato, ice cream, whipped cream and blueberries. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. If you’re in a rush, hit one of their express stores (just serach: Dopa Donburi) for a quick dine-in or takeaway bowl that doesn’t skip on quality. They’re even slinging catering so your whole office can get in on the don action. Fast, fun, and freakin’ delicious — Dopa is the quick meal we keep coming back to. Find out more here.
