Reviews for Yayoi Cupertino in Cupertino, CA
Food is good, but the waiting time after ordering is long.
Their katsus are out of this world. Some of the best gyoza around although their salmon dishes were good but not amazing. You... really cant go wrong with any of their chicken or pork katsus their curry is great as well. super modern and nice atmospherewith great service but be careful of wait time, took us 30 mins at around 6pm. Super good all around! Read more
If you're looking for amazing fresh food, this is the restaurant for you ????
Went around 2hrs before closing time and we were immediately seated. I hear you usually have to wait. Had two servers who were... decent (esp the female server). Ordered via a tablet. It makes ordering easier. Other than the photos shared in this review, wealso had tamago yaki, which was the only dish I didn't like (too firm and salty for me), and Sapporo beer. Food there is goodoverall, but quite overpriced. The sushi was actually decent, which is harder to find around here. They also give free ricerefills, but the portion sizes are on the smaller side so idk if anyone would need additional rice. The rice isn't bad for thearea as it's been hard to find good quality Japanese food in the area. But unmemorable. Those 2 sushi rolls in the photos arejust under 5 bucks each, and despite being delicious, they can be eaten in one easy mouthful. That's a decent guage for theoverall pricing for everything. We paid close to 100 usd for what we ordered (!!!), but I had a nice time with good company so Imay go back whilst I'm holidaying in the area. Definitely not a place I'd go more than twice on my trip though due to the price.Beer came in a pretty and chilled glass. The tables and chairs were clean. They had subtle music (reminded me of new age jazz)that wasn't blaring/obnoxious/pop. The upscale atmosphere seems just right to grab a beer and some appetisers. On the downside,they use poor quality disposable wooden chopsticks that splinter everywhere. Their bowls are cheap and do not match the nicefood they serve. But at the end of the day, I took a star off because the prices are steep and that's really all. Read more
This is a great place: quiet, clean, friendly service. It’s very comfortable using tablet to make an order. Everything is... delicious Read more

Low key restaurant. Be prepared to order from an electronic pad device. They do check up on you and refill your water. I’m... not sure about the tea. No tip restaurant. I guess they either pay their employees well or it’s worked into its prices. Read more
Food is okay, but could be better. Service could definitely be improved. Doesn't seem like anyone works during lunch time... either. No greetings, etc. Look elsewhere to get your fix. Read more
