Food was delicious. The potato string was crispy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The udon noodles were clearly hand made. The udon soup was perfectly proportionate with the veggies, beef and broth. We will definitely be back read more

Really great food! We got the salmon carpaccio, potato string shrimp, wagyu tataki and the 12 oz angus ribeye zen that came with udon soup and then paid $1 extra to get the purple potato tempura. The salmon was so fresh. And on top of red onions and a cucumber slice with each piece of. The wagyu tataki was presented the same way. Really super tender beef. I was so glad to try wagyu. The sauces that came with everything were delicious and truly complemented the meal. Now, the potato wrapped shrimp! Really fantastic! Tender shrimp with a beautifully crispy potato string shell. Really tasty! The fun part tho is finishing up the cooking of the 12 oz steak on a rock at the table. Again, super tender beef. The udon soup was really tasty. Good noodle texture. And I have to recommend the purple tempura potatoes. Great flavor and great texture. The iced teas we got, white peach oolong and passion lemon,(no alcohol served here) tasted reminiscent of orange Julius! Really yummy! Super nice staff. Super clean place. Worth the money. Everything with a tip was $125. Totally recommend read more

By far the best Japanese restaurant in the av... takoyaki is my go to plate!! Thank you ! read more

Gyu Jinya - Thai tea and matcha tea - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lancaster, California

since they've opened last year i've gone just about 10 times and enjoyed it every single time, the pork hot pot was my favorite and i was happy to have something like this in the av. without realizing they had redone their whole menu, i went in expecting to have my usual pork hot pot only to be disappointed and heart broken. i don't understand why they got rid of not only the hot pot (they still offer beef shabu shabu which i ended up ordering but it does not compare to the pork) but they also got rid of the wagyu/hot stone :( i'm super sad that they got rid of these items to replace them with sushi, which is something you can get anywhere else in the av. they really had something special at first! oh well, it was good while it lasted :( read more

The food awesome! The service is awesome! The ambiance is nice and clean! Love this place food is Fabulous!!!!!

My wife and I just enjoyed a delicious shabu shabu meal at the beautiful Gyu Jinya restaurant located in the Vons Shopping center on Ave L in West Lancaster. My wife and I felt so grateful for the kind, attentive and generous service. My wife and I really appreciated the high quality of the ingredients used and the delicious flavors of the broth and sauces. My wife and I are so glad that we discovered an excellent restaurant in the Antelope Valley that serves delicious Japanese food. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find a place like this in Lancaster, though it's not like I've had much eating experience in Lancaster. Quite affordable compared to LA. We had a chicken katsu curry udon + a chicken katsu set (which came with a free drink). I wasn't that impressed by the potato salad, but it was overall pretty solid. Good portions. Comfy and intimate setting, good for groups. Service was quick and friendly. Recommend checking this place out for affordable & decent japanese food in the area! read more

Expensive! But worth every penny. Delicious high quality Wagyu steak and delicious miso soup! I was very impressed with the courteous and prompt service. Definitely going again. read more

New Japanese restaurant that open recently. The hot.pots were tasty came wirh lots of vegetables and meat The miso was a little salty. I ordered the chicken katsu and was really disappointed. The katsu was very bland and soggy. The service was great. They seemed to be struggling to get the orders out in a timely matter that being said I will come back again to give them another try since they are a newly opened restaurant. read more

food, service , ambiance is great!! glad to have this in the AV!! love their iced teas as well read more

The food is pretty good but it is overpriced and the service is often missing. Hard to know if they're open or closed because there is just no one manning the front of house. They charge extra for every single little thing. A tiny amount of chili paste is extra. Idk. I wish this area had more options. read more

Food is amazing a bit pricey but it's worth it. Great ambiance, clean and neat. The service is good too. read more

2 star service 1 Star for the food. No beer/wine/saki here. Ok let's start with we all went for dinner and it was a 1st for all of us & we have all been excited to try this new place:) 4 of us ordered Shabu and it was the worst Shabu I have ever had. They brought a gas small cooker to the table then bring you a small bowl fresh out of a refrigerator ice cold broth with a few veggies and cabbage leaves a bit of mushroom,2 pieces tofu, 1 mini carrot, 2 strips of onion and udon noodles already submerged in the cold both that has been pre-made and sitting in a fridge for a few days .$2 extra for some old dried up rice. Tasteless miso broth.no other choice of broth, boring sauces, no extras of nothing. Sad thing is you cannot offer Shabu Shabu if you're not going to give the whole Shabu experience. This was like a bad hotpot but arrived cold. I got 4 slices of ribeye, yes that's it just 4 slices SMH. Tables were too small to cram 8 people (should have been 6) or just 2 people to a booth when eating Shabu. This place is small with bright lighting and no atmosphere at all. Reminded me more of a fast food place. Or a wooden sauna. I ordered the cucumber salad but for $6 it was sadly pathetic. The cucumber was the length of my finger and the width cut up into 12 tiny pieces and stacked on top of each other with a non descript drizzle of something . Never seen a dish so small, looked cute but that was about it. Itthe cucumber salad was half the size of a Rubic's cube. Two others ordered steak that was just starting to turn bad,who knows how long that had been sitting in the fridge. I could smell it was tainted when it was being cooked on the hot stone, smh. Waitress was not too bad she did her best I guess and kept it together. None of the 8 of us will be returning here. No Fresh food at all ... Food just not that great...very average. Service just ok- (could be friendlier) read more

Just had lunch here today and i wanted to let people know that the food is amazing. The portions are perfect, I would definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed. Its clean and modern, gives you a nice choice from the basic restaurants here in the AV. read more

The food is delicious! The service is ok. And the atmosphere of the place is very nice. The menu is confusing and needs to have clearer instructions. It could definitely do with some photos. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu. There was an older gentleman serving or helping serve who seemed like he may be ownership or management. He was very kind and nice but he didn't seem to have much service experience. The place just opened though, and I don't hold this against them. The food was really good. We started with the bbq egg rolls. They were really good. For entrees we chose the wagyu beef shabu shabu and the Tonkotsu broth spicy with pork belly. They were also really good. The dessert was not very good. It was there macha something. We also wish they served beer which they said they will have the license in a few weeks. All in all the Antelope Valley needs more of these places. The owners clearly care and the food is really good. With a menu update and a little clearer direction on how to order, this place is a gem. read more

Had a great time here at Guy Jinya. This was our first time here and needed to try it out since it's a new restaurant close to where we live. We were not disappointed. Service was amazing. We were attended to and given just the right amount of attention without feeling bothered. The chef was kind enough to send us out an item that is not yet on the menu for us to try and it was amazing! The food was very good. And the portions were ample to say the least. We had to box up some food to bring home. The atmosphere was great inside, with calming music and beautiful decor. We were very pleased with this restaurant and will be coming back! read more

We went there for the first time. The ambience was fantastic. Service was amazing and the food was stellar. We are definitely going back again. read more

Went for a date night with my husband after I saw that this place had opened. Japanese food is one of my favorites. We got the Nabemono with the Shabu Shabu stock, the Wagyu, the Gyoza, and the Japanese Cake Roll. All was super good. Enjoyed cooking on the hot stone. Our server was nice and great at suggesting things to try. Will definitely be back for future date nights! read more

Great service and a beautiful ambiance in the store. great portions and you really get what you're paying for! Would get again.

Go for the Curry Udon, you can't go wrong. But the desert is too expensive and small.

Decided to give this new place a try. We ordered- Fried oysters - meh nothing special. Bland served cabbage shreds and some mayo dip. Ribeye hot stone - just a regular piece of meat with a piece of carrot and broccolini of some sort. Also served with rice and salad. Nothing special. Udon Curry Noodles- Udon noodles with a watery curry sauce and loads of onions. On tops was an odd bland puree of mashed potatoes. For $18 dollars it could have had meat. Hot Pot - we ordered two meats with the shabu sauce. Normally the meat is served raw and cooked in the hot soup, but the meat was already cooked and got overcooked in the hot soup. The broth was bland and had a tiny bit of vegetables and tofu. Yuzu Cheesecake - it was the size of my palm. The tiniest piece of cheesecake I've ever been served at a restaurant. I believe this cost us $6 This place was really nice on the inside. The service was okay, until she said if we needed a new hot stone it's another $25?? Our total bill with one drink was $120. We were still hungry afterwards. Unfortunately we will not be returning or recommending. Too expensive and not the best quality food. read more

I have seen a lot of places come in go in this spot but let me tell you I hope this one is here to stay.From the time you walk in the atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing,nice and clean.The staff was friendly helpful and made sure we had everything needed.Now for the food all I can say is OMG the food was amazing and the cheesecake is to die for.If you haven't stopped to eat here yet your missing out. read more

Restaurant was very clean and the ambiance was nice. Service was friendly and willing to make some accommodations for kids. Ordered the Shabu Shabu and the flower tea, and everything was delicious. read more

The food here was super good and flavorful, came out super fast, had such great service. I ordered the spicy beef hot pot and beef katsu, as well as a side of spicy edamame. Both entrees paired super good with each other. The meats in both dishes were good quality and the katsu was seasoned well. This is the type of food and quality i'd typically have to drive out to scv or the valley for and i'm so happy I found a place to go back to that's local. Definitely will be coming back again to try new items read more

I would recommend it. Lots of food. We got the lunch special and potato shrimp. Everything was so good. Great to have good food on the quartz hill side. My fav was the Niki udon read more

The food was amazing! The gyu jinya fried rice was so delicious. Our server Elaina (I hope I'm spelling or remembering correctly) was so sweet and attentive, made sure we were comfortable the whole way. The decor was super cute and clean. read more

It was our first time here and everything we ordered was good. The tonkatsu was very soft and tender just like the ones we ate in Japan. This was my favorite. My husband loved the tuna katsu. He's hoping they can improve the katsu sauce - it's because he misses the ones he's tried in Japan lol. The pepper beef udon was ok, but I forgot to say no onions because I don't like onions so I had to pick it out. Now I know for next time. I ordered the peach milk tea and that was good too. Next time I will try the matcha milk tea. We plan to come back to try more menu items, there's so much to choose from. We're really glad there's a new restaurant in town because good places to eat here are so limited that we have to travel out of town to try new places. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant is quite striking, when walking in. The art is beautiful hand crafted. The service of the restaurant has been amazing. Everyone is so greeting and helpful. The food is amazing too, I ordered hotpot and the meat and broth were so flavorful. It was so good I finished everything I ordered. Would definitely recommend and would joyfully come back. read more

I like a shabu-shabu that is one reason went there. I went there with my parents since a shabu-shabu restaurant opened in Antelope Valley. First of all, I ordered Takoyaki and Potato string Shrimp to start, and taste was good - I satisfy for tasting. and I ordered Nabemono - shabu-shabu for my parents and yosenabe for myself. It was good as I expected it. The price of pots and dishes were reasonable (considering current inflation). and most importantly, service was not bad. it was great. Since the restaurant recently open, the store looks clean. I will definitely visit there again. read more

Lack of flavor was the main issue for me. I ordered a variety of items to give Gyu Jinya a shot & all of them had basic flavor. The restaurant itself is very nice & the service was decent. Prices weren't great either. read more

Had a reservation and despite this they seated another party so that they could be with a waitress who was their family . Utensils were dirty customer service was eh. The bus boy whom I believe was bussing tables as well as prepping the meals was busy but professional. Not sure if I'd return here read more

Beautiful ambience, great service, and outstanding food every time at this amazing new restaurant in Lancaster, California. If you haven't already, stop in for lunch or even better at dinner and get the Wagyu beef prepared on a 400-600°F hot rock right at your table. nothing but good things to say about this wonderful place. tell them Tiger and Cheryl sent you. I know You're gonna love it as much as we do. read more

Elise is the sweetest server ever! She was so attentive and fast!!! She made sure everything we had everything fast and hot!

We visited the restaurant on a Friday night. The service was great! All of the servers were so nice and accommodating. We ordered the Thai tea, tuna katsu, cream curry udon, and the tokontsu nabemono. The food came out fast and tasted delicious! The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. The restaurant has beautiful decoration and beautiful "furniture". It almost didn't feel like we were still in AV! Great experience. We would definitely come again. read more

Ambiance was great! The decor was pretty and it was a good call blacking out the windows. Food was good but we aren't itching to return. The fried rice was amazing and the shabu shabu was just okay. There ended up being paper in my shabu shabu and it was remade for me and they gave us a free dessert. I wasn't too affected by it but it was just confusing at first. Price was okay overall but I feel like food could've been more for what we paid. Service was good, our server was really nice to us and again, really apologetic. The AV needed a spot like this so thats awesome. read more

The restaurant is nicely decorated and quaint with very attentive and cordial service, and the food is good - appetizers, main dish, and I had two kinds of yummy dessert, also enjoyed the passion fruit tea, and I really appreciate the nice thick napkins, and it's pretty busy too -- I highly recommend dining here -- wish Id taken a photo before devouring my food -next time! read more
