Yoshinoya (Bukit Panjang Plaza)

Couple of years back, before Bukit Panjang Plaza had a total new revamp of their makan areas at Level 1, Yoshinoya used to have their own shopfront. But they kinda close up shop after their Curry Rice didn't seem to bring in more customers. And maybe because of the rising shop rent, I'm not sure.

But a few months back, Yoshinoya came back again and they are now located inside Kopitiam Foodcourt inside Bukit Panjang Plaza. Although the shop seems somewhat smaller, due to being inside a rather popular foodcourt in Singapore. But at least seats-wise, there's a lot more due to the location being right smack inside Kopitiam itself.

I have been craving Yoshinoya ever since their own shopfront closed down and finally got my wish! As we all know, "fast-foods" doesn't necessarily need to be awesome in taste or whatsoever, since it's "fast-food" in the first place.

It's not like it's uber expensive. But the service is genuinely friendly and upbeat. Maybe because this particular branch is operating inside Kopitiam instead of having their own shopfront, the staffs seemed confused and blur sometimes. But give them time and a lot more visits, and they do remember their regular customers.

The manager previously in-charge of that Kopitiam branch and I even managed to have small chats everytime I patronised their stall.

Overall, decent food but really great customer service. And I can see they are trying their best to satisfy every customer they served. Kudos!
