Overview

Australia welcomes its very first Yayoi Japanese restaurant in Sydney, the first outlet of the Japanese chain of Yayoiken restaurants outside of Asia featuring our range of refrigeration, ice and beverage equipment!

Run by Plenus, the company operates nearly 3,000 world renowned food outlets and restaurant chains specialising in noodle bars and Japanese restaurants in Japan, Korea, China, Singapore and Thailand.

The restaurant, with its simple yet attractive décor, floor-to-ceiling windows and detailed ceramic tableware uses a modern tablet system in which the customer can order meals and beverages, call the waiter and even check the status of their meal during the cooking process all on a tablet!

When ordering off the tablet, the customer can view photographs of the food and beverages. This may or may not make decision making easier!

Yayoi specialises in Teishoku, a traditional meal commonly cooked in Japanese homes which comprises of rice, miso soup, a main dish and two smaller dishes presented on a tray. Japanese cuisine is renowned for serving aesthetically appealing meals which are exceptionally balanced offering an arrangement of meat, vegetables and fish.
