Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Yosakoi Japanese Food Alley in Clementi offers a surprisingly authentic Japanese dining experience for a neighbourhood spot.

We note consistent praise for the freshness of their sashimi and the quality of their Bara Chirashi Don, with thick, savoury slices of fish.

The salmon teriyaki bento and pork katsu bento are also highlighted as reliable choices, though it's worth noting that miso soup is not included with these sets and must be ordered separately.

The atmosphere is described as simple and homely, making it suitable for casual meals.

While prices are generally considered reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, some reviewers suggest they might be slightly steep for the area.

Service is often efficient, but we've seen mentions that food preparation can be slow, especially during peak dinner hours on weekends, as the establishment is reportedly run by a Japanese couple who handle most of the cooking.

Seating is limited, so reservations are advised.

We think this is a solid choice for fresh, authentic Japanese food in Clementi, provided you're not in a rush during busy periods.

What customers say

Yosakoi Japanese Food Alley in Clementi is highly regarded for its authentic Japanese cuisine, with customers frequently praising the freshness of sashimi and the quality of dishes like salmon teriyaki bento, pork katsu, and chirashi don.

While the food is consistently delicious and prepared with care, often by the Japanese owner, service can be slow, especially during peak hours, due to limited staff.

Prices are generally considered reasonable for the quality, though some find them slightly steep for a neighborhood eatery, and the restaurant closes relatively early.
