Cheesecake was a very small slice.
Beef is fatty. They got my order wrong: the beef bowl with egg had extra beef sauce, while the bowl without egg didn't, when it was meant to be the other way around.
A small thing, though.
Ordering via the self-service machine is fast and easy.

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

Love the newly renovated feeling of the place. Cleaner, brighter and more pristine. Food is still okay, but I miss the choices from 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!

Opposite Swensen's. Just after BHG. Nice! And the staff was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely order again.

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 because when I ate during off-peak times, the beef rice has more gravy that makes the rice more flavourful.

Located on L1, at the end of the J8 food wing, this place isn't easily noticeable to those unfamiliar with this mall. However, its L1 location makes it easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers (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. The kimchi isn't top-grade quality, but it's 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 help customers avoid the risk of 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 the service rating is pretty neutral here. At least the food was prepared fairly quickly, though not at peak lunch time. Nice Japanese background music!

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. ❤️
* I came during peak hours (lunchtime) on a Friday, and it was quite empty.

My first visit here since they have become halal-certified. I had the salmon-beef combo; the food quality is good, and I want to come back to try the other items on the menu. It would 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 because that is where potential Muslim customers will look when determining the store's halal status.

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

It's a busy outlet during peak hours, but the food standard is still pretty acceptable. Portions are good, and the chicken cutlet is crispy when it 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 it when your number is called on the screen. A decent dinner spot.
