What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Don Don Donki is celebrated for its vast selection of affordable Japanese goods, from groceries and snacks to cosmetics and collectibles. Visitors love the exciting treasure hunt atmosphere and the delicious, budget-friendly food options in the basement. However, some find the store's intense sensory experience, including a peculiar strong smell, to be overwhelming.
"I was familiar with Don Quixote from a recent stay in Tokyo so I was looking forward to checking out a Singapore location while there for work. It didn't disappoint! It has all the normal goods on the upper level but the grocery store on the lower level was fantastic! The "deli" section had all kinds of bentos and sushi! I spent an hour just deciding what to take to the hotel to eat! If I return I will definitely be visiting this store every night for take home dinner!"

"Absolutely massive store. Well sign posted in the mall.
Too many products to mention.
This store did have a peculiar strong smell throughout.
We had to leave as it was overbearing."
Elaine Wickwar
"This Don Don is a massive two floors, and it combines all the breadth and wildness of selection that you love from Don Don with all the organization and efficiency of Singapore. I always go hear as my last spot because I can find great treats and souvenirs to fill up every available inch in my luggage before going home.
Iโd especially recommend the Japanese beauty section of this one, some real gems!!!"
