Karaage don is the crowd-favourite rice bowl that turns crispy Japanese fried chicken into a complete, satisfying meal, and at Sushijiro Catering we build ours around freshly marinated, double-fried karaage piled over warm, fluffy Japanese rice. It is the donburi that consistently tops office lunch orders, balancing comfort, crunch and value in one tidy bowl delivered across Singapore.
What karaage don is
Donburi simply means a bowl of rice topped with a generous main, and karaage don tops it with karaage — Japanese-style fried chicken, marinated and coated in potato starch for that hallmark light, shatteringly crisp crust. The chicken stays juicy inside, with savoury ginger-soy depth, and the warm rice underneath soaks up every drop of flavour. It is hearty, familiar and reliably popular.
How our karaage don is made
We marinate boneless chicken thigh in soy, ginger and garlic so the seasoning runs right through the meat, then coat and fry it twice to lock in juiciness and build a crisp, golden shell. It is set over seasoned Japanese rice and finished with a drizzle of sauce, a wedge of lemon and a touch of Japanese mayonnaise. Prepared in our central kitchen with omakase-honed technique, it is, like all our food, strictly No Pork, No Lard.

How we serve karaage don for catering
This bowl is purpose-built for fuss-free, individually portioned catering, which makes it ideal for islandwide delivery to offices and events. It is a flagship of our donburi rice bowls range and a popular pick within bento catering sets, with each guest getting their own complete bowl. We also build it into office programmes through our corporate Japanese catering service. Order 1–2 days ahead where possible; same-day requests depend on kitchen capacity.
What to pair with karaage don
Karaage don is filling on its own, so pair it with light, fresh sides. A wakame seaweed salad cuts the richness, miso soup adds warmth, and a few pieces of tamago sushi or gyoza make a fuller spread. For larger gatherings, set it alongside a Japanese buffet so guests can mix and match.
