Really enjoy the food, service and freshness of this small business. We have had the salmon plate, chicken/beef plate, California roll and short ribs. The cost is pretty reasonable as well. Happy I found it! read more

I had the Chicken Teriyaki Plate and the Beef Ribs Plate, and both were delicious! The portions were generous, the food was fresh, and everything was cooked and seasoned really well. What made the experience even better was the customer service. The three ladies working were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and patient while I was trying to decide what to order. They never made me feel rushed and were happy to answer my questions with a smile. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal! read more

They are located in a plaza with ample parking available.I went during lunch on a weekday and it wasn't very busy. The cashier who took my order was kind and friendly. The place looked clean and they had a decent amount of chairs and tables. I had a to-go order but didn't have to wait too long for my food to be ready. I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Plate - the portions were generous, I liked that it came with some steamed veggies and some orange. The salmon was tender and delicious. The sauce was good- not too sweet and not too salty, just right. Price is fair in today's economy. Highly recommend this place for a delicious, quick and fairly priced meal! read more

Yaho Grill - Salmon Teriyaki Plate - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My husband & I found Yaho Grill in Yelp! , looking for a spot with teriyaki chicken (but we didn't want a Chinese food spot, flame broiler, waba grill, etc.). We were greeted by a sweet young lady who helped us with recommendations & did not make us feel rushed to order. Our food was made fresh & fast! They offer green onions, jalapeños, and pickled onion in a self-serve container. They also offered hot sauce, teriyaki sauce & dressing -- and they weren't selfish about how many we wanted (we only got 1 each but she would've given more). All the sauces were so good! The dressing & the pickled onions were a great compliment to our meal. My husband ordered the beef rib & chicken plate, I got the beef & chicken plate. Plates came with rice, veggies & half an orange. Good portions! We both couldn't finish our plates! Not only was the food delicious! But their staff were so friendly, they had such good energy laughing & talking amongst themselves. The restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back! read more

OMGosh I love this place. I still love this place. We usually get the beef/chicken teriyaki with steamed veggies and then just enter into the Yaho Grill food coma that we know so well. I love the extra teriyaki sauce and the hot sauce we can get on the side. In general I don't love steamed veggies at home, but I LOVE Yaho's steamed veggies, especially with the teriyaki and hot sauce. The service is excellent, also. Michelle (I believe her name is) usually takes care of us, and she remembers our order, brings an extra plate, brings our sauces to the table, and is so friendly and polite. I used to work close to Yaho but I don't anymore. We still go out of our way to eat here. read more

Love this spot! Glad I found it! They have great options and what I like the most is that their meat is actual good quality ! Not chewy meat that other spots offer in there bowls or plates. The staff is really nice I have not asked them yet but I feel this is a family owned spot. Regardless I live there options and food quality and there pricing is in the middle not high or too low but just about right for what they offer. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant offers great plates - chicken teriyaki plates are our fave. Food is fresh, service is always outstanding and friendly. This is our go to takeout spot for those nights we need a nourishing meal that doesn't break the bank. Cannot recommend more - cozy, healthy food and ambiance. read more

I love yaho grill! I used to go at least once a week but I moved away and can't find any other teriyaki places like yaho :'( Their food is consistently fresh and delicious. They have green onions and pickled jalapeños&carrots as self serve on the side which is a plus. I usually get their chicken teriyaki plate or the chicken&beef teriyaki plate. The steamed veggies are so good with their homemade sauce that they give you (similar to thousand island sauce). The service is fast and all the workers are always sooo friendly. Yaho grill is easily one of my top go-to spots for lunch/dinner! read more

We decided to stop by and checkout Yaho Grill while searching for decent teriyaki chicken restaurants in the area based on reviews and the rating. It's easy to overlook this restaurant, as it's tucked in a corner of the busy plaza next to the bar. There are plenty of parking spaces, but it can be hard to find an open spot since you're right across from the college and in a very popular plaza. The parking is one thing, but when you go to enter the restaurant, there's a guardrail that stretches across the front of the entrance...something to keep in mind so you don't walk right into it while exiting. I decided to try their spicy pork plate, and my wife opted for the chicken steak teriyaki plate. They give you a decent amount of food, so you should be pretty good to go, but make sure you grab a drink if you get the spicy pork.....it burns really good. I would come back for the spicy pork. I started regretting it about three bites in, but by the time I finished, I thought about the next time I would come back....just need to prepare myself a bit. It's like Hot Cheetos or Takis....yes it burns...but in a good way. There are tv's inside if you want to sit and lose yourself for a few moments, but the ambience of the place could use a slight uplift. It just felt very dim inside. read more

I've been eating here during my work lunch here for many many years now. In fact, I started eating here during my hubby's Cypress College days, which was back in the early 2010's, I think that's around the time I got hooked eating their food. My go to plate is the spicy pork bowl/plate. I normally eat it with salad, and drizzle the meat, rice, and salad with their special sauces. Customer service is very friendly, and they always know my order! read more

They cook their food so well and its pretty affordable. The plates come with fresh veggies and tender meat

I ordered the chicken bowl and it was tasty. The rice, broccoli, carrot, and chicken tasted fresh and hot. The service was good, and the environment was pleasant. They keep the restrooms clean. Nice people. read more

Great food yesterday 7/14 around 1pm the cashier was wonderful talking my order and gave me great suggestions

Food is better than Waba Grill. (Portions are larger too) Staff is very polite and friendly. Restaurant is dated, but clean and comfortable. 10/10 do recommend. 2nd Visit review. read more

This place is not closed. I called in an order to pick up and today is August 26, 2025. The food tastes great and the portions are a good amount. The chicken and steak plate costs $11.49. I called to place an order to go and the man who took my order was friendly. When I got to the restaurant it was fast and easy to pay and pick up. The girl behind the counter was also nice and friendly. I'll be ordering from here whenever I'm in Cypress. I recommend this restaurant. A sign on the windows says Cypress College students get a free drink with a bowl or plate. read more

The staff is excellent; very polite and helpful. The salmon and beef with veggies and macaroni plate is my favorite!!! Sad to say they close on Sundays read more

Me and my family have been going to this establishment for years now. One of my favorite places to go and eat personally. My food is always cooked to perfection and (when I say this I mean it,) I never once had a problem with the food at Yaho Grill ever! I love to get the half steak and half chicken bowl it's the best of both worlds! (Mostly because I can't decide which I like better) Both the brown and white rice are delicious! Preferably though, I like the brown rice super grainy and just has a perfect texture every time. The sauces here are probably my favorite part. I love to mix the hot sauce and the pink sauce, it's the best sweat and spicy combo. The teriyaki sauce is absolutely delicious too. Don't pass up on that either! Service here is absolutely amazing. Some of the best service i've ever had in my lifetime. First off, super fast service no matter how busy they are, your food is always done in 10 minutes or less. Great for on the go! Secondly, the staff is so nice and polite! The staff at Yaho Grill consistently go above and beyond to ensure your needs are met and are always exceptionally helpful. Yaho Grill is also very clean! Every table has a glare that you can see your own reflection through! Same with the counter! It is a very clean place overall and is one of the things I respect most. The vibe is also very nice, Tropical colors surround the walls. I feel like i'm in a restaurant in Hawaii or some Island. Overall, I love this place and if you haven'r tried it yet I definitely advise you do. read more

Came here with my dad, my sisters and a couple of the inlaws for dinner when I was visiting them while on vacation. Honestly, the food was just ok, but the service was outstanding. Yahoo Grill is in a small strip mall across the street from Cypress College. Depending on when you visit the restaurant, parking, which is free, may be challenging since the shared parking lot isn't all that big to fully support the customers that visit all of the nearby businesses. The seven of us came in two cars and were able to get parking spaces, probably because it was after 7 pm on a Thursday night. This restaurant is on the small side, so I can see customers having to request their orders to go during peak times due to not having enough places to sit inside. The restaurant was clean. Drinks were self serve from beverage dispensers. The menu includes meals in the form of plates, bowls and salads (with protein), and kid's meals are also on the menu. The service is outstanding! The employees were so welcoming, and they didn't have an issue with the seven of us coming in during their last business hour that day. Prices are very reasonable; however, the food quality for some of the meats isn't the best. While my family members ate, it looked like some of them had issues with their food. My sister-in-law looked like her beef rib meat was chewy, which she later said was tough. The shrimp was overdone. Those of us who had chicken or teriyaki didn't have any issues with chewing those meats, and they were cooked perfectly, as were the veggies and rice. The veggies, however, lacked flavor. read more

I've lived in the area of Yaho Grill for a long time and have never stopped. Finally, the wife and I decided to pop in and grab some dinner. I will admit, it's not what I was expected - I was expecting more than just basically, teriyaki and rice. I was hoping for than options, but my expectations didn't change my opinion on Yaho Grill. The wife ordered a chicken bowl and I order chicken and shrimp. The service was great, the food was good, and the inside was clean and welcoming. The food was fresh, and I enjoyed the sauce that they offer on the side . It all came out quickly and it was super quiet inside and very mellow. Definitely on my teriyaki and rice rotation. read more

Yaho Grill - 1. Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Cypress, California

I rather go here than Flame Broiler any day! The food is always fresh and great service! Love this place!

This is my secret gem every time I come back from college! I always crave this spot whenever I'm not home. For the past decade they've had the best grilled chicken and shrimp ever!! My hack is to ask for half chicken and half shrimp. Their rice is always good too. You can tell their food is fresh and grilled in front of you. The woman cashier is always sweet too. I get sad that they close on Sundays though. There's a good deal right now for Cypress college students where they can get a free drink! read more

January 2021, The review is only a update from the previous one. the location is tucked away in a busy strip mall filled with several eateries (KFC, Albert Tacos, Frostbites, 7leaves, Papa Johns). The location is a family own business that continues to offer fresh made to order ingredients. Portion sizes are generous and the service is always on point. Due to covid the location only takes to go orders. I recommend anyone who is near the area to check it out. read more

The service is always great. The steak and/or chicken bowls are cooked fresh and are very tasty.
