Yayoi restaurant receives mixed reviews, with many customers praising its affordable Japanese set meals, friendly service—particularly from staff like Simon—and its consistent quality, especially its rice and side dishes. The availability of free-flow rice, soup, and pickles remains a highlight. However, experiences vary with some reporting slow service, inconsistent food quality, and portions that do not meet expectations for the price. Overall, Yayoi is appreciated for its casual atmosphere, reasonable prices, and attentive staff, but some patrons express disappointment over service issues and food standard fluctuations.
