About YAYOI Hurstville

Complete Japanese teishoku sets anchor this calm Forest Road hideaway. Expect neatly arranged trays laden with simmered pork loin katsu, miso soup, and balanced small bites—ordered swiftly via table touchscreens. Commuters frequently slip in to decompress over crisp chicken nanban and draft beer while soft jazz hums in the background. The katsudon arrives thick and savory, steeped in seasoned dashi with tender folds of egg over hot rice.

  • Digital Tablet Ordering: Tabletop touchscreens display the full menu and track dish progress for straightforward, quiet dining.

  • Chicken Nanban Set

    The chicken was crispy on the outside while still tender inside, and the hotpot sauce paired well with the rice and miso soup.

    My husband had the salmon teriyaki — perfectly cooked, not dry at all, and the namban sauce gave it such a tasty, flavourful twist.
