Yayoi In Verona

A quaint restaurant run by a Japanese chef. High-quality food. Excellent value for money. Very varied menu. Polite and friendly staff, especially Giulia.

The best ramen and udon we've ever had. The place is small and not very fancy, but probably similar to what you'd find in Japan. The owner is friendly, and the girls who work with him are super knowledgeable and smart. The only flaw might be the lack of attention to the non-main areas, like the kitchen and bathroom, but otherwise, everything is very good. We'll definitely be back.

If you want to try real sushi in a traditional Japanese restaurant, light years away from the overused all-you-can-eat restaurants that blend ingredients and cuisines from around the world to excite the palate... Yayoi is the answer. Forget eating on fancy chairs surrounded by ponds with artificial vapors rising up onto the table... this is reminiscent of the old Mambo at Kiss Me Licia, a wooden restaurant with a counter overlooking the kitchen... top-quality fish and rice served to the moment in a typical Japanese bar. I've tried all the "tre bachette" at Gambero Rosso Veronesi, but this one beats them all in quality!

An intimate restaurant far removed from the usual all-you-can-eat options. It offers a true Japanese atmosphere, with quality food. The portions are generous, the prices are moderately high, but worth it. Limited seating, good service. Definitely worth a try, even for takeout.

Yesterday I discovered this little place that transported me a bit to a Japanese atmosphere. We had two plates of rice noodles, one with vegetables, the other with shrimp. Very good, freshly made, and plentiful. The owner was very kind and helpful, as was the waiter, although perhaps a little awkward due to language barriers... I would go back for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

An intimate and welcoming place, it feels like entering a typical Japanese inn. The quality food is worth the price. The staff are kind and friendly. Recommended for a less impersonal experience than the usual all-you-can-eat options.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the food was excellent! The service and attention were also exceptional.

Excellent ramen with plenty of good meat. Sushi with warm rice prepared on the spot. Excellent impression and environment that closely resembles the style of real Japanese izakaya. Friendly and kind staff. P.s: on the second round I took the Takoyaki, probably the best I've eaten outside of Japan
