TO BE a home away from home is the aim of a new foodie oasis opening tomorrow night.
Don Japanese Fusion will open its doors for the first time on Friday evening to supply the people of Albany with traditional Japanese cuisine.
Owners Kowin Huang and Tony Wu are excited to share their recipes with the community and hope everyone will come along to try something new.
“Our main dish is donburi, which is a traditional rice bowl dish with meat on top, which some people might think, ‘that’s just rice’, but when they try it, they will be surprised,” Ms Huang said.
The restaurant will also offer blooming tea with peony, jasmine, mint, lotus leaf, lavender and pink rose, to name a few options.
Deep-fried squid tentacles, pork dumplings, octopus pancake balls and steak don are also on the menu, along with sushi with grilled eel, crab, salmon, tuna and chicken.
Ms Huang said the restaurant would introduce a new dish to the menu every three months.
She has also applied for a liquor licence.
“We want to bring a bit of Japanese culture to people’s busy lives,” Ms Huang said.
“We want people to feel like this is home, a place where they can eat and enjoy the atmosphere, relax and forget everything else.
“We aren’t just about our food; we’re about our care for our customers.”
Don Japanese Fusion is located on Middleton Loop and will trade 9am to 9pm Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm on Sundays and close on Mondays.
Ms Huang asked for people’s patience during the first few days of trade as she is still in the process of hiring staff.
The restaurant will open from 6-9pm tomorrow night.
