After a long day out hiking and enjoying the scenery, we made our way back to Brisbane and stopped by for some dinner on the way home. We decided on a quick dinner at Uncle Don, which I've been meaning to try for some time now. Despite it being a Sunday evening, the store was absolutely packed and we were only given outdoors seating. Lucky it wasn't overly hot.
Service was efficient to a fault. Within being seated for five minutes, we had three separate staff ask us to put in an order. The food came out soon enough after ordering but the moment I finished my meal, staff also swooped in to take my plate without even waiting for me to put my spoon down. I'd have to say that service could really have been better on this account. As for the menu, true to it's name, it was mostly based on rice bowls with some starters and sides.
Dr L and I shared our bowls. this was the Tartar Ebi Katsu Don. It was a rice bowl with two crumbed prawns and tartare sauce atop egg covered rice. Toppings wise, two prawns were really not very generous for a whole rice bowl, however the bowl itself wasn't too big and the prawns had very thick batter. Given the large amount of tartare sauce and also the sauce to go with the crumbed prawn, it was still sufficently flavoured to go with the rice and was a satisfying meal so long as you aren't overly hungry.
Our other shared rice bowl was the salmon bowl. It came with ten thinly sliced pieces of fresh salmon, a sprinkling of ikura as well as a cured yolk. Like the Ebi don, the bowl was quite small so the small amount of salmon was sufficient to top the rice. The salmon was also quite fresh. I enjoyed the gelatinous soy cured yolk which added additional umami to the dish. It came with a small bowl of miso soup as well to go with the meal. As with the other bowl, it was sufficient as we had eaten quite a large lunch, but otherwise I would be peckish after.
