Our take: YAYOI Japanese Restaurant at The Star Vista offers a reliable teishoku experience, with several reviewers highlighting the generous portions and value for money.

The Unajyu set, priced around $20-25, is frequently praised for its soft, well-grilled unagi and flavourful sauce.

Other popular choices include the Sukiyaki and the mixed grill set, which diners appreciate for their taste and presentation.

A significant draw is the free refill policy for rice, basic salad, and miso soup, making it an attractive option for those with larger appetites.

However, the quality of some dishes can be inconsistent; one reviewer noted issues with the salmon in their Salmon Jyu and found the gyoza to be mediocre.

The dining environment is largely open-air, which, while not always hot, might be a consideration for some.

We think it's a solid choice for a satisfying Japanese meal, especially if you're looking for good value with refillable sides.

Best for a casual family dinner or a hearty lunch.

Located at Star Vista, Level 2. Price matches serving size. To be honest, the taste is pretty good too. The broth of the Sukiyaka is great, sweet & savory as it supposed to be. The Mabushi is a teaser…

Nice restaurant. They seem to have changed their menu (I was here in 2024). The salmon in my "Salmon Jyu" was coming apart, worst I've seen from a Japanese restaurant. The gyoza looked and tasted like…
