My favourite food at Yoshinoya is Chicken Katsu. Usually I ordered the chicken katsu, the meat was tender and delicious but on 18/05/25, the meat was so dry, hard and salty. Not nice at all.

Food quality improved since I went couple years ago. Now changed to any unit within J8. Prices are a bit high for the food served. Service should improve. Food placed in trays were are mixed up. Some items in my order were put in the tray of my daughter's order and vice versa.

Cheese cake was a very small slice. Beef is fatty. They did get my order wrong, beef bowl with egg had extra beef sauce while the bowl without egg didn't when it was meant to be the other way round. Small thing though. Ordering via the self help machine is fast and easy.

Busy outlet during peak hours but the food standard is still pretty acceptable. Portions are good and chicken cutlet is crispy when arrived. Yoshinoya is the ideal choice when I’m craving for Japanese curry rice and I’m glad they’re HALAL certified now. Order your food at the kiosk and collect when number is called on the screen. Decent dinner spot.

My first visit here since they become halal-certified. I had the salmon-beef combo; the food quality is good and I will want to come back to try the other items on the menu. It will probably be better if they replace the cucumber with japanese cucumber; it is tastier and more crunchy. It's also advisable to place the halal cert more prominently near the cashier counter becos that is where potential muslim customers will look when determining the store's halal status.

The renovated version is much better, with a bright, fresh and airy vibe. The food is excellent and of consistent quality. Highly recommend the popular beef. Yummmmmy!! Service 5/10. Would recommend (: ❤️ * came during peak hours (lunchtime) on a Friday and it was quite empty.

Located on L1 at the end of J8 food wing doesn't make this place noticeable to those unfamiliar with this mall. However being on L1 makes it easy for wheelchair and stroller accessibility (see tip below). As someone who's eaten Yoshinoya's beef bowls for many years in different countries, the Kimchi gyudon bowl is a change from other vegetable toppings. Kimchi isn't top grade quality but decent enough in taste and quantity, even for the small sized bowl. The beef slices have become saltier than usual, possibly due to the saltier sauce used. Perhaps a better quality gyudon sauce would reduce the salt level and avoid customers from risking developing hypertension! Service is awkward to rate since it's via kiosk order. No interaction with human staff to warrant a higher rating. Even tray return is expected of customers, so service rating is pretty neutral here. At least the food was prepared fairly quick, though not at peak lunch time. Nice Japanese background music!

Loved their classic beef rice. Still the best I find even after they have updated their menu with more choices. Do come during their off peak hours cos when I ate during their off peak the beef rice has more gravy that makes the rice more flavourful.

Love the newly renovated feeling of the place. Cleaner, brighter and more pristine. Food is still okay but miss the choices last time. Absolutely love the new drink machine though. Free flow drinks with tons of choices like vanilla and lime Cola. Their strawberry cake is not bad too!
