The interior is modern zen where the place is partitioned into many sections. The good part is that there is a level of privacy, and the bad is there is no people watching.
The highlight of Yayoi are definitely the Teishoku meals. The huge variety of set lunches features stir-fried vegetables and meat, fried food, grilled food and even patties. The ingredients used taste pretty fresh, and the seasonings are done just right: tasty but not too salty. Surprisingly, there is free flow of quality rice, given how low the prices of the set meals are. The only drawback of the food is that the cooking standard varies slightly in different days. The first time I had the yasai itame, the meat and vegetables are well-soaked in the light sauce. On the second occasion, the ingredients seemed drier and plainer in taste.
Though I do not recommend the katsu meals because the deep fried breadcrumbs coating the meat really cut the tongue and palates, just like most CUTlets do. And avoid the sashimi also.

Still, for a wallet-friendly, quality meal around Orchard area, the place is one of the good choices. Not to mention that there are Japanese patronizing this place; goes to say how good the food here is.
My Thoughts: Not Bad
