What’s not to love about donburis? Carb-loaded, filled to the brim with savoury meats, topped off with a creamy onsen egg — all the best parts of Japanese cuisine in one hearty, delicious bowl.
If you’ve been craving one of these fuss-free dons, here’s a list of the 11 Donburi Delivery Restaurants in Singapore that deliver straight to your doorstep!
1. Man Man Unagi Restaurant
When you think of Man Man Unagi Restaurant, what comes to mind is most likely the snaking queues at their Keong Saik outlet, where diners eagerly await a taste of Man Man’s famed unagi-dons.
Their signature dish is the Hitsumabushi ($34), which has amassed quite a cult following for its unbeatable taste. After being skewered and grilled, the unagi is doused in tare (soy sauce mixed with mirin and brown sugar), then flame-broiled to create that sinfully charred taste.
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, try their Unagi-Tamago Donburi ($24.40) which comes with a generous serving of tamago (Japanese egg) alongside their chargrilled unagi.

2. Aburi-EN
Aburi, meaning “flame-seared”, is a way of meat-grilling that results in that seared, smoky flavour, a technique that Aburi-EN has perfected. They utilise binchotan, odourless Japanese white charcoal, ensuring that the natural flavours of the food aren’t masked. The restaurant also doesn’t compromise on their meats, serving a fine selection of Japanese and Australian wagyu, including the highly acclaimed A4/A5 Miyazaki wagyu.
The Wagyu Karubi Don ($22.40) is one of their top-selling dishes, made with Australian wagyu karubi. Known for being more marbled than most cuts, these slabs of beef are marinated in a soy-based “Miyazaki sauce”, one of their Aburi-EN’s house sauces.
Accompanied by Yamagata Haenuki rice and nutty light brown mushrooms, this donburi is definitely value-for-money with such high-quality ingredients. Add an Okinawa Onsen Tamago ($1.80) to complement the savoury, melt-in-your-mouth beef.
For those looking to switch it up, try the Buta Bara Don ($19.20), which features Spain-imported chestnut-fed pork belly coated in their special sauce, each tender strip exuding a fragrant smokiness.
