YAYOI Palo Alto offers good food with a unique presentation and a calming interior that feels welcoming for families with children. The restaurant has a new and nice atmosphere, with a tall ceiling, adequate lighting, and dozens of booths. Customers order from a touchscreen at the table, which shows the status of their meal. If needed, staff can assist with inputting orders using paper menus. The seating options include indoor booths and tables near the windows, allowing guests to choose their preferred spot. The atmosphere is elevated casual dining, creating a relaxing experience. The food includes dishes like wagyu sukiyaki, which some find a bit sweet, and other favorites such as the salmon in teriyaki sauce and tonkatsu. Portions are generally perfect for enjoying without feeling overly full, although they can be large for some. The restaurant's no-tipping policy in 2019 might have changed by 2024. Overall, the food is good, with popular items like ramen and curry, and the service is quick and friendly.
