Crispy Tofu Don at Ta-ke Don — oskarvin's Review (Aug 31, 2025)

Ta-ke Don is one of those hidden Melbourne laneway gems, and their Crispy Tofu Don is proof that comfort food doesn’t need meat to shine.

The tofu is perfectly fried – golden, crunchy on the outside yet soft and silky inside. It’s paired with a fluffy bed of rice that soaks up the rich, savoury-sweet sauce without ever feeling heavy. The toppings are fresh and vibrant, adding balance and texture – crisp veggies, pickled elements for zing, and just the right touch of seasoning to keep each bite interesting
