For food lovers in Malaysia, October 2025 is looking deliciously exciting, especially for those who adore Japanese flavours. DON DON DONKI Malaysia has just announced a special treat that runs the entire month of October, and it is centred around one of Japan’s most beloved comfort foods — the Okonomiyaki.
If you are new to the dish, Okonomiyaki is often described as a savoury Japanese pancake, typically made with batter, cabbage, eggs, meat, and various toppings, then grilled to perfection. It is a dish that strikes the perfect balance between heartiness and comfort, and its versatility makes it appealing to both seasoned Japanese food enthusiasts and curious first-timers.
Now, for the month of October, DON DON DONKI Malaysia is offering attractive discounts on their Okonomiyaki selections, including their latest introduction, the Okonomiyaki Chicken Namban. This new item promises to be a highlight for anyone who enjoys a satisfying combination of juicy chicken, fresh vegetables, and the distinctive tang of Japanese sauces. If you have been looking for a reason to indulge in something hearty yet unique, this promotion could not have arrived at a better time.
Why should you head over to DON DON DONKI this October?
Firstly, promotions like this do not come around often. Okonomiyaki is not as commonly available in Malaysia as other Japanese staples like sushi or ramen, so when an established Japanese retailer and eatery such as DON DON DONKI places it in the spotlight, it is worth paying attention. This promotion not only makes the dish more affordable but also encourages food enthusiasts to try different varieties without worrying too much about the price tag.
Secondly, the new Okonomiyaki Chicken Namban is a limited-time dish created especially for this campaign. If you are someone who enjoys being among the first to try new menu items, this is a great opportunity. It is not every day that a major Japanese retailer introduces a new dish to their line-up, so taking advantage of this deal lets you enjoy something fresh, exciting, and exclusive.
Another reason to take part in this promotion is the atmosphere that DON DON DONKI stores bring. Anyone who has visited will know that their outlets are more than just grocery stores — they are immersive experiences of Japanese culture. From their bustling aisles to their wide selection of imported snacks, fresh food, and cooked meals, every visit feels like a quick trip to Japan. The addition of freshly prepared Okonomiyaki dishes with discounts makes it even more worthwhile.
A treat for foodies on any schedule
Convenience is also a key factor here. With outlets at Lot 10 in Bukit Bintang and Mid Valley, you have options depending on your location. The Lot 10 outlet even operates until 2 AM daily, which means night owls can enjoy a freshly made Okonomiyaki well past traditional dining hours. If you work late or simply prefer to eat later in the evening, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy hearty Japanese food without being limited by regular restaurant closing times.
Meanwhile, those who frequent Mid Valley will find it equally convenient to drop by for lunch, dinner, or even a quick evening meal while shopping. The store operates from 10 AM to 10 PM daily, making it perfect for both early diners and families looking for a satisfying meal after a long day of shopping.
A month-long promotion worth sharing
The promotion runs from 1 October to 31 October 2025, giving everyone an entire month to take advantage of the deals. This is especially helpful for those who may not be able to make it immediately. With such a generous promotion window, there is plenty of time to plan a visit, either with family, friends, or colleagues.
For families, it can be a fun and affordable dining option. Parents can introduce their children to authentic Japanese street food flavours in a comfortable and casual setting, while couples and groups of friends can treat this as a casual night out without breaking the bank. Even solo diners who enjoy exploring different cuisines will find this an inviting option, especially when discounts are part of the deal.
Why Okonomiyaki is worth your attention
There is something quite special about Okonomiyaki as a dish. In Japan, it is considered a street food favourite, often cooked fresh in front of customers on sizzling hot plates. The flavours are layered, with cabbage giving crunch, eggs providing richness, and toppings such as bonito flakes, mayonnaise, and savoury sauce tying it all together. Adding chicken namban into the mix makes it even more indulgent, creating a fusion that blends traditional and contemporary Japanese tastes.
For Malaysians who may not have had the chance to try Okonomiyaki before, this promotion makes it accessible. Rather than travelling all the way to Japan, you can enjoy an authentic taste right here in Kuala Lumpur. It is not just about trying a new dish — it is about enjoying a piece of Japanese food culture at a discounted price, and that is something many food lovers will appreciate.
Final thoughts: why you should not miss this deal
Promotions like these are about more than saving a few ringgit. They are about encouraging exploration, discovery, and enjoyment of new experiences. DON DON DONKI has built a strong reputation in Malaysia for bringing authentic Japanese products and cuisine to local shores, and their October Okonomiyaki campaign is a perfect example of this.
By offering discounts across all their Okonomiyaki dishes, alongside the debut of the Okonomiyaki Chicken Namban, they are giving customers the chance to expand their palate without overspending. Whether you are a loyal fan of Japanese food or someone just beginning to explore it, this is a deal worth checking out.
So, if you find yourself in Kuala Lumpur this October, make sure to plan a stop at DON DON DONKI. Indulge in freshly made Okonomiyaki, explore their vast aisles of Japanese goods, and soak in the atmosphere of one of Malaysia’s favourite Japanese retailers. With discounts running the entire month, it is the perfect chance to treat yourself and those you care about to a satisfying Japanese dining experience.
