" A lovely evening spent at Yayoi! I liked the ambiance with soft lighting and elegant decor. However, the food was not quite what I anticipated. It lacked the bold flavors of authentic Japanese cuisine. I hope this can improve, because the place has great potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience at Yayoi! The Hitsumabushi was sublime, and the ambiance was so peaceful. Ordering was easy with the tablets, and didn't take long for our food to arrive. I can't recommend the lobster fry enough, it’s a remarkable dish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yayoi has become my favorite spot for Japanese food! The authenticity of their dishes reminds me of my travels to Japan. I tried the Tonkatsu and it was perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and tender inside. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it a great place for family dinners. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely incredible experience! The Hitsumabushi was delightful, and the grilled fish was cooked to perfection. The unagi was some of the best I've tasted outside of Japan. Would highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always blown away by the quality here! The katsu is crisp, and the sides have a wonderful balance. It feels good to have such authentic flavors accessible here in Cupertino. A must-try for anyone who appreciates Japanese cuisine or is looking for a cozy dinner location. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint restaurant with a unique ordering system. I felt a bit rushed during my visit, and the food portions were smaller than expected for the price. However, the sushi tasted fresh, and the service was decent. I might come back but would expect a bit more next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is lovely, the food left a lot to be desired. My meal was bland and uninspiring. I believe they need to step up and offer more memorable flavors to stand out from the competition. " (*Curated Review*)
