Came here for dinner with my husband and was honestly surprised by how nice it was. We went on a weekday, so it was pretty quiet. The service was great though, our server was really kind and attentive. The food was delicious, with generous portions and reasonable pricing for Tonkatsu. I got the cheese one and loved it, and my husband's udon was flavorful. I also added spicy tuna roll on the side with my set, and it was also delicious. Definitely planning to come back to try more of the rolls and I'm really curious about their hot pot, too. read more

The food was good overall, and my partner especially enjoyed the ribeye shabu-shabu--it was definitely the highlight of our meal. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. This was our second visit, and both times the service was slow and inattentive. What made it even more disappointing was that we were the only customers in the restaurant, so it wasn't as though the staff was overwhelmed. Because this has happened on two separate visits, I had to take away two stars. While the food was decent, the consistently poor service makes it unlikely that we'll be returning. read more

My husband and I decided to try Gyu Jinya because we were craving Japanese food and wanted to check out a new spot. For the food, we actually enjoyed what we ordered. My husband got the pork katsu and I tried the shabu shabu. Both dishes were flavorful and definitely satisfied our Japanese food craving. Unfortunately, the service experience did not match the food. When we first arrived, one of the servers gave us a heads up that they were busy and service might be slower than usual. We completely understood and appreciated the warning. However, after waiting about 20 minutes, we realized our order still had not been taken and it seemed like we were accidentally forgotten. We understand things can get overwhelming during a rush, so we tried to be patient. What stood out more was the overall lack of attentiveness and welcoming atmosphere from the service side. Some of the interactions felt cold, and one of the servers in particular seemed visibly annoyed and like she did not want to be there. As customers, a simple friendly check-in or update goes a long way, especially when the wait times are longer than usual. It took about an hour for us to receive our food. We also noticed other customers looking frustrated, and saw guests walk in, stand near the entrance for several minutes without being greeted or acknowledged, and eventually leave. Overall, the food itself was good and we can see the potential here, but the customer service really needs improvement. Long waits can happen, especially during busy hours, but feeling ignored or unwelcome makes the experience less enjoyable. With better communication and more attentive service, this place could be so much better. read more

This was our first time trying Gyu Jinya in Quartz Hill, and overall we had a good experience. The restaurant itself is really nice aesthetically very clean, light, airy, and modern. We went around lunchtime and it was pretty empty, so we were able to choose our own table and relax. We told the waitress it was our first time there, so we ordered a little bit of everything to try different items on the menu. We ordered the ribeye shabu-shabu hotpot, cheese tonkatsu, a kids chicken katsu meal, and the fire dragon roll. The ribeye hotpot was good, and I would order it again. The only thing is that the broth tasted more like a basic soup base rather than a rich, deeply flavored broth that's been simmered for hours like some other hotpot places. Still enjoyable, just not super flavorful. The cheese tonkatsu was interesting to try, but personally not my favorite. It was basically fried chicken topped with a lot of cheese. The girls there mentioned it's a popular dish, but it just wasn't for me. I probably wouldn't order that again. The fire dragon roll was okay too. Despite the name, it wasn't spicy, and it could've used a little more flavor overall. The regular chicken katsu was a safe option for our child since he doesn't eat spicy food. Service was good, prices were fair, and the portions were generous. We actually ended up taking leftovers home because there was a lot of food. Overall, I would come back and try different things on the menu. Even though a couple dishes weren't exactly my taste, it was still a good experience and worth trying if you're looking for a local spot in Quartz Hill. read more

- Service and friendliness: 10/10 - Cleanliness: 10/10 (didn't use the restroom, but the dining room was spotless) - Food: 7/10 we got a little of everything. Chicken katsu was a solid 7/10, cucumber salad 5.5/10, hot pot 7/10 great flavor/could feed about three people as an appetizer or side/serving utensils need to be more thought out though a bigger ladle would have helped/noodles in the soup were delicious but there wasn't enough in my opinion, sushi 6/10 this is not what I'd come here fore but it's was tasty and gives great variety to the menu, Thai tea 6.5/10 wasn't too sweet which I loved but it lacked in the Thai flavor a bit. We were a party of three and all left stuffed for about $75 before the tip. Honestly a great little spot and must try. read more

The food is genuinely good. In look at this dish as the Japanese replication of a cordon Blue but with chicken and no ham. Served with cold sides that was perfect for a summers day. One bit of the crispy chicken katsu and it was perfect. read more

Tried to ignore the reviews about the service here. Walked in, and the waitress did not say hi. Not even a welcome or anything. Not even a do you want anything to drink? Do you have questions on the menu? Anything. Mind you we were the only people here. I said excuse me and the waitress with long straight dirty blonde hair comes over with an attitude doesn't even acknowledge us or anything. We immediately walked out. Do not come here. There's a reason why the prices are cheap and there are no customers. Not to mention the chefs uniform was dirty. First impressions are everything. The owner should really revamp his staff before they run his business to the ground. read more

We stopped by on Saturday at 11:55 AM, but the place was still closed even though they were scheduled to open at 11:30 AM. We tried calling, but no one answered. Before showing up, we had read several reviews. Most of the positive reviews complimented the food, while many of the negative reviews were related to the service. Despite those concerns, we decided to give the place a shot because of the positive comments about the food. Unfortunately, we never even got the chance to try it. Based on our experience, it seems the negative reviews regarding the service were accurate. Very disappointing, especially when we made the effort to come by during their posted business hours. read more

The food was impeccable. The service quality was warm and professional. I love the ambiance My first time eating here. I will return.

The food was delicious and everything came out fresh and hot. The server was very nice and he helped answer all of our questions which made choosing the food easier. read more

I took my parents to eat here. We ordered chicken katsu and few rolls. I was not sure they would like the rolls but they sure did. My daughter's favorite food is sushi and she rated this pretty good. The service was good, waitress was pleasant, and the restaurant was nice and clean. We recommend this restaurant. read more

Got the pork katsu set that was supposed to come with a salad, but they were out of the salad. Everything was just ok, nothing spectacular about the food. I prob won't be back. read more

Found this place while visiting family today. Advertised as "re-grand opening" and I'd say CONGRATULATIONS! We got 3 sets of chicken katsu, 1 set with cheese, a takoyaki, and a white dragon roll (California roll topped with yellow tail). Service was fast. Servers were nice. Establishment was clean. Price point on the affordable side. read more

The server ignored us as we waited to be seated and was on her phone after making eye contact, proceeded to tell us we can't dine in past 8pm when they close at 9pm when I drove 20min to get there. Very appalled at the rude way she was acting and I was not offered a seat to wait for it to be prepared to go. I was also asked to pay before hand without even getting my order.. EDIT: THERE ARE MANY REVIEWS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SERVICE, IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE read more

Great food, we ordered various things. The sushi was the best. Udon had great savory soup and the chicken katsu was good too. I recommend the dragon roll. read more

1st time trying this place. Very small restaurant and everything is prepared in the kitchen. I went to this place thinking I was going to see sushi chefs preparing the food in front of you. So I was a little taken back by that. The food was tasteful however it seems that the chefs sauce has gone with the chef that created it because I was unable to experience it. The service was OK being that I was the only one inside. Overall, I would give it another try but maybe taking it TOGO. read more

The food was delicious! Giving four stars for that alone. Unfortunately the wait was VERY long; we waited over an hour for our food and there was no real communication as to what was going on or how much longer it would be, and my friend ended up being late for a prior engagement because of how long we waited. There weren't many other tables and the restaurant was not busy, there was only one server and maybe one cook? So I'm not sure why it took so long - would come back if we are in the area and have lots of time to spare. read more

First time trying it and we definitely will be back! Had the hot pot and the chicken katsu curry over rice. Super delicious!! read more

Came in from positive reviews Sunday afternoon 2/22/26. Extremely disappointed with the service, I watched a table walk out from waiting for the server ( Isabell I believe), we almost walked out as well because it was only 2 other tables that already had food. And she didn't come to even get our drink order for at least 5 minutes. By the time she came over we were already ready to order our complete meal. Our server spilled soy sauce and has noticed it spill but continues to walk past it. Never came to check on if we liked our food. We had to ask her for plates more than once to even eat our food. read more

I had to pick up a prescription at CVS and noticed this restaurant, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, I was not disappointed. I was greeted by a very charming young man who was not only welcoming but also helpful in confirming my order with the kitchen. I ordered the dragon roll to go, and it was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They've definitely gained a new loyal customer! read more

Gyu Jinya - Dragon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lancaster, California

Decided to try this place out but as soon as we walked in we were greeted with country music blasting. The server Isabel was insanely rude. We ordered 3 sushi plates and she only gave us one soy sauce tray so my sister kindly asked if she could get her another one and Isabel replied "I already brought this one for you". Mind you, 3 of us ordered our own sushi rolls and she was expecting us all to share one sauce tray reaching over eachother??? Besides that, it's just not sanitary either. Most sushi places usually give each person who orders sushi an individual soy sauce tray. The shabu-shabu was ok but the soup wasn't that good and the tiger dragon rolls were drenched in the sauce that made it insanely sweet, over-powering the taste of everything else. All the sushi was brought out on one plate and she didn't even bring an extra plate for me to eat on and I didn't want to be met with her attitude again so I just didn't ask her for a plate. No follow-up either on asking how the food was. I honestly don't recommend this place. read more

Was not expecting this place to be this good!!! Baked salmon roll/salmon avocado/spicy tuna/California roll all very good, generous portion of ginger, clean restaurant, point system when ordering. Idk nothing bad to say at all, the waitress was very kind and fast. Great service and food! Please check this place out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

The shrimp udon stir fry had lots of flavor. The sauce complimented the shrimp. We also got the spicy garlic edamame and it had a nice kick of spice. The peach moonlight oolong was ok, all I tasted was the peach. We walked in didn't need a reservation and were sat down quickly. The aesthetic of this place reminds me of a cabin, due to the wood on the walls. read more

The food here is what you not expect for the price. Got the hot pot paid almost 30 dollars for a hot sauce water and tasted bland and had no flavor just spicy. Tryed some other food tasted bland. But the service was great very friendly people. read more

We stumbled in here checking out the menu in the window but the place was so nice and quiet on the inside food was delicious and our waiter was a really nice guy, we will be back so happy we tried it, great portion size and not too expensive read more

Great delicious fresh food. Tayokaki was absolutely delicious. Tried the lunch special with chicken katsu and it was super delicious and fresh and the sauce was tasty. Also tried the shabu shabu with steak and while it was good the broth was a bit bland. Tried plenty other places for shabu and shabu and usually broth has some flavor. Inside there was cabbage,carrot,corn,enoki mushrooms, yam and lettuce. Not a lot of udon. Chili paste is $1 extra. The ambience was lovely and the service was good and timely. The prices are reasonable. Some variety in music would have been nice since one song [Los Chakras Y El Reiki by Relajacion] was playing on repeat. Overall nice place. Would come again, especially for takoyaki and chicken katsu read more

I was excited to try this place since I had seen it on TikTok. The service was horrible, they never came to check in on us at all during the whole experience. Once, both servers looked at us and just ignored us even though we were trying to get their attention for forks they had forgotten to give us (by the time they brought them out food was not that hot anymore). Then for the tab we had to ask for it (even though other tables that had gotten there after us had already checked out) they didn't come pick it up or didn't instruct us to bring it to the register. Not friendly at all, either of the servers. The food looked appetizing but it was kind of bland, I got the pork curry with rice. The sushi tasted like mushy crab with mayonnaise, not great. read more

This place is so cute on the inside with little whale lanterns. The lady who served us our food was so sweet! The ribeye was delicious and such a cool experience getting to cook it on the hot stone they bring. I highly recommend the potato string wrapped shrimp. We will definitely be back soon read more

10/10 sushi. I'm convinced the fish here lived happier lives than me. The rolls were so good I briefly considered proposing to my man. Even the ginger slapped harder than my morning coffee. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would... but Yelp won't let me. Rude. read more

I went into this restaurant. I saw some friends there sat next to them on the table that was right next to them...So waitress came out 10 minutes later told me to move to a smaller table. I still waited for her then I got up and left... by the way the restaurant was empty ....my friends didn't even have soup spoons. They're waiting her to bring them soup spoons their soup 10 minutes ... after being disrespected. I told my friends I'm leaving from across the room..because she didn't take my order. I was waiting too long then I call their management and she said a lie by telling him or her that she had reservations... which was a lie. Because I was still still there hr later.. the place was empty and the management lied to me... cause that's what she said ... don't recommend this restaurant at all... pay read more

I love this little gem - they have very good food; it's just a neat little place. This is a place you should go as we don't always have a lot of great choices in the AV - but this is a good one!!! Good service, good music - i like the waitress, she has really good energy and makes good recommendations. I dig the Shabu Shabu - my kid asks for it now which is great because there's a lot of veggies in it - i especially love the asian pumpkin and tiny lil shrooms in there. The udon is on point! Seems handmade and it's damn good. I've had the curry and the shrimp, the gyoza and mochi - everything was fresh and properly cooked. read more

We visited again and saw they had a re-grand opening with a new updated menu. We were pretty sad to see the hot pot menu changed but at least they have one option for it. Food was really good like usually. Tried the new Cheese Tonkatsu. We really like it, as well as the Pork Katsu Curry Rice. Our server was great and food came out pretty fast. We will come back as usual. read more

S/O to the AV Food and Restaurant Facebook Page for putting this spot on my radar. We came here for some decent Japanese food, and I was a bit skeptical because AV isn't particular the home of a wide diversity of Asian food compare to down in LA and OC. However, it didn't disappoint. We ordered some appetizers, and the gyoza and katsu stick were pretty good. The texture was crispy and flavorful. The main star of the show was the Angus Sirloin Tip Gyukatsu Zen. I loved the taste, texture and smell of the sirloin. The food was sooo good and even better with great company. The pricing can be a tad expensive but Japanese food has always been pricy. Would definitely go ahead on a special occasion, and parking is super easy here. read more

We went for lunch. What a great find in the high desert. The food was fantastic each bite made us both smile. We are lucky and enjoy good food often. This place is pulling off high quality food and great service. Elyse was charming. We met the owner as we were finishing our meal. They shared that there are new things on the horizon as they are planing to add seafoods to the hot stone menu. We highly recommend that you find your way to Gyu Jinya for wonderful meal. read more
