Yoshiya Japanese Restaurant - Perth

When we first arrived just before 12 on a Tuesday, the restaurant was empty. We were promptly seated by the lady owner whom I found a little intimidating at first but it could very well be because there wasn 't any other patrons and I felt like she was watching us like a hawk the whole time. However, in the next 45mins or so while we were there, the place got reasonably busy, and it was quite visible<br/ that most of them were returning (quite mature) regulars.<br/ <br/ 'Oh, WOW. ' was all that managed to escape my mouth after I had my first bite of the beef yakiniku. The dish arrived with thickly cut slices of beef fillet that have been cooked to perfection. Charred on the outside and medium rare on the inside, glistening in daylight from the flavourful marinade. <br/ <br/ I think the obviously old and bare interior only adds to the whole atmosphere. It really felt like I could 've very well been inside a restaurant somewhere in a small Japanese town. <br/ <br/ Needless to say, I was back by the following week. I guess Yoshiya has just scored themselves a couple of new regulars!

One of my favourites. Decor is ****. Service is efficient but lacking in style. <br/ <br/ The people great and they remember you !! <br/ The food is the reason you go there. <br/ <br/ Sherry and Francis have been doing this for a long time now and after 10 years I still go back a few times a year. My don now takes his dates there even, just because the good is that good. <br/ <br/ David does the best sashimi in Perth by my books. Doug's teppanyaki prawns are a must as on occasion they actually bust in your mouth. <br/ <br/ Bang for buck it's a real winner for quality food. It's a place you just know that regulars go go to. <br/ <br/ Just accept the decor is what it is.

Nice lunch. I had the tempura lunch set for $15, which was decent value. Included rice, miso soup, fruit dessert and tempura was generous, with two prawns, two pieces of fish and one piece each of carrot, pumpkin and zucchini. All tasted great, tempura dipping sauce was especially good. Woman in charge of front of house seems to resent customers and has a million better things and people on her mind the typical Perth story. Don't make me feel like an inconvenience for coming in to your restaurant. The other waitstaff were pleasant and trying hard.

Some of the most delicious japanese food i have ever eaten and 5 star service.

I have been going to this place for years. The food is great. Every time I travel I always compare the Japanese food back back to this place and have not found any place that does it as well as this place. Very consistent and the quality of the food is fantastic. Decor could be updated but the food is what we come for.
