Yiassoo has been serving-up Greek food in the South Bay for well-over 20 years from what I can recall. Not sure which is the OG location, this or the Bascom Ave spot. I was never a big fan of their Gyros, as their meat always had an odd gummy texture and was always a bit too salty for me. So since I've been on a veggie kick lately I decided to give their veggie options a try and ordered a Yiassoo Veggie Platter ($12.50). The Good: - Falafel were pretty standard but had a nice crunch. - Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie) was OMG worthy: flaky, buttery and filled with a creamy, earthy spinach and feta filling that was truly delightful The Meh: - Hummus was bland and whatever - Greek salad was generic and needed some jazzing up with a dressing. Not sure why it was served dry? The Ugly: - Their dolmathes (rice wrapped in grape leaves) were just awful. The rice was gummy yet somehow under-cooked?! How is that even possible, one may ask. Well, evidently it is. Overall it was decent lunch and I enjoy the ambiance as they have a great patio area for enjoying the Cali weather. I'll probably be back but I'll stick with the falafel and Spanakopita. read more

TIPS: Be ready to get your order in 5 minutes if you order ahead and ask for ketchup if you get fries. Also if you struggle to meet your daily water intake, come here because the sheer amount of salt will leave you drinking a gallon of water EASY. I pass by this place a lot and it's been on my bucket list for years but I never got around to going. Sister and I finally decided to just do it today and ordered pickup via Uber Eats for a picnic at the park. The food was ready a lot quicker than expected--the app said 15-20 minutes but they were finished in just 5, so by the time we picked it up it was already cold. Not their fault but something to keep in mind if you plan on ordering ahead! We got the gyro plate, which consisted of a gyro sandwich with fries and avgolemono soup, as well as the falafel sandwich. The pitas are fluffy and the gyro was super tender. I also did not expect to like the soup as much as I did--that might be the Canto in me jumping out though because it was basically a lemon chicken congee. The falafel sandwich though could've used more sauce and the falafels themselves were dry and crumbly, although maybe it would've been better had we eaten it fresh. The fries were just standard fries. They didn't come with ketchup though so make sure to ask for that! Any issues we had with the temperature of the food were overshadowed by the saltiness. Every item we ordered was just SO salty. We brought a bottle of water with us but it was no match for how thirsty we were after eating our meal. We cut short our picnic to run home and chug down water. I can literally feel my eyes puffing up as I write this. I don't think I'd come here again unless I had a sodium deficiency. read more

Awesome food! They are so friendly and nice. The food is so fresh and great!!! They have a great home made red sauce which is so tasty! read more

I always drive past this place! My bf lives down the street and on the way to Aqui (to get dinner and swirlz), he's like... ooh have you been here? We decided to come here for dinner last Friday (instead of Aqui cuz..blehhhhh) at around 6:30 pm and place was decently packed. A lot of take out orders. We ordered their lamb plate which was about $14. Plate came with a generous amount of lamb chunks, which were super delicious and tender, 4 pieces of pita, rice, hummus, and vegetable salad. We weren't full, but we weren't hungry. So two people sharing a plate is definitely doable. They give you two sauces too. The orange one is good, but a little spicy and a white one. I definitely recommend coming here, it's soooo good and worth it! Will be back to try their falafels and other plates! read more

Yiassoo - Yiassoo Veggie Plate - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

Greek cuisine is, hands down, one of my favorite ethnic cuisines. And we're very fortunate to have a number of Greek places here in the Bay Area. There are the more formal places like Opa!, Evvia Estiatorio, and Athena Grill, and there are the more informal, order-at-the-counter places like Nick the Greek, Greek Spot, and Yiassoo. Yiassoo was the first local Greek joint I went to back in the day, and my first visit was at this location. You can tell by looking at the exterior that this was a Taco Bell a long time ago. I hadn't been by here in ages, so I figured I'd stop by for dinner a few weeks back. They've done a great job at making adjustments for Covid, with hand sanitizer outside before you walk in, everybody inside wearing masks, etc. Price-wise, their items are either moderate or on the slightly more pricey side. Inside, there are Greek-related pictures and artifacts on the walls. The employees, also, are really nice. You can either order in-person or ahead on the phone. On both of my recent visits, I saw a few customers come in to pick up their orders that they'd already placed in advance. On my first recent visit, I ordered the Beef Souvlaki Plate and Loukoumathes for dessert. The plate came with fries and bread. It was ready in about 15 minutes. The fries and bread were pretty good. The beef was tender but pretty much flavorless. Disappointing. The Loukoumathes were delicious. On my second recent visit, I ordered the Steak Sandwich and Baklava for dessert. The sandwich was great. Very filling. The Baklava was delicious. No idea if they make them on-site, but either way, it was awesome. If their prices were a little bit cheaper, and they did a better job at making their meat a little more juicy and flavorful, then I'd have no problem giving them five stars. Regardless, I hope to be back again soon for more delicious Greek food. 4 stars read more

Ordered the chicken souvlaki sandwich and it was really good!! I was surprised to see how much chicken was in the pita as it's much more than a lot of other Greek spots. The chicken was also really good but I wish the sauces were more flavorful and specifically spicy. Also tried the fries which were perfect!! read more

Yiassoo - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

Oh Yiassoo, how I love thee. I have legitimately not had better casual Greek food ANYWHERE, but I might be a little biased since I'm so attached to this place. My family and I have been coming here since I was little. It's always the same guy working there :) Prices are good, the food is delicious, the place is small, cozy, and nicely decorated. You order at the counter, pick a table, and pick it up at the counter when it is ready. We've also ordered take out from here countless times. When I was little I would get the ham and cheese pita kids meal, the spanakopita (cheese and spinach filo pastry) and the loukaumades (fried dough balls in syrup). Now that I'm grown up (sort of?) I get the gyros plate (stuffed full of delicious gyros meat) or the vegetarian plate (You get a variety of items with this, including hummus, falafel, spanakopita, dolmathakia). My dad's go-to order is the moussaka plate (egg plant and beef casserole topped with a egg/cheese mixture topping, SUPER yummy). I think their prices have fluctuated a bit though the years (sigh, inflation) but all the places are in the $10-12 dollar range. THE WHITE SAUCE IS SO GOOD, I could dip bread in that forever. Please stay here forever Yiassoo!!! read more

Yiassoo - Gyros, moussaka plate - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

I lived in front of Yiasso for 13 years not knowing how amazing this place was until my mom finally took me and from then on, I was HOOKED. Even when I left for college I still had hankerings for the gyro here. This place is great for lunch or dinner. It does get a bit packed during lunch time and seating is pretty limited but the food is so worth it! My orders: Gyro salad (comes with tatziki): if you like Greek salad, I highly recommend getting this! The veggies are super fresh and they give you a TON of meat. I think this is good for like 2 people? I definitely couldn't finish it by myself. Gyro sandwich: its like a scaled down version of a gyro salad wrapped in a soft fluffy pita. PRO TIP: ask for a little container of the white sauce to go and dump it on all your foods! It's reminiscent of ranch but it seems way lighter. Yiassoo is still the best place to get Greek food imo. I haven't found a place that tasted better or had better quality so I will definitely be back! read more

Yiassoo - Gyros Salad - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

I've been coming here ever since I was a kid. I love Yiasso. They have many delicious plates to choose from and you won't ever be disappointed because they're so good at making your order exactly the same way each and every time. Normally I order the same thing when I go out to eat but I always struggle between ordering the plates or the sandwiches here! Their tzatziki sauce is so yummy here as well (and the amount they serve in the sandwich I get is quite, which im happy with)! One thing I would mention is to make sure they give ketchup packets if you're ordering for pickup. Last time they didn't include any/didn't ask if i wanted any (probably because they were busy). However, I normally compare any other Greek restaurant to this place as this place definitely sets the bar for me (or perhaps I'm biased because I've been coming here for so long since i was super young) but either way, I always know what I'm getting when I come here and I'm never dissatisfied. read more

Yiassoo - Chicken Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

A nice neighborhood stop for Greek food! I got the chicken souvlaki sandwich, and I thought it was alright. The chicken was not the most tender, but the flavoring was on point. There were way too many tomatoes for my taste; basically for every bite I took, half was tomato. I also wish there was a tad bit more yogurt sauce (I'm sure there's an actual name for this), but still overall, the sandwich was really filling as a lunch. My friend got the gyro sandwich, and I enjoyed this a ton more. The gyro meat was extremely tender, basically falling apart, and the flavors were all still there. Not sure why there would be a better tomato balance since both were still sandwiches, but the gyro one had less tomato and more of the other toppings, so that was a bonus. I also think the complimentary sauces were yummy. There was a spicy red sauce along with a creamy ranch based sauce, and both complemented the sandwiches well. The fries were super crispy and not too oily, so would certainly recommend as a small side! read more

Fast and consistent, go there regularly for Greek chicken salads Good selection and fast service. Outside and inside seating read more

This has been my "go to" gyro place for over two decades. And truth be told it really hasn't changed over that time. I usually order the gyro plate with fries. The fries are also excellent and the cucumber, tomato, green pepper salad, Horiatiki Salata is also solid. Their souvlaki is also a good choice. Portions are generous with a plate being enough for two meals for some folks. If you need even more you can order the super gyro (extra meat and extra cheese). Quality has always been top notch as has service. They serve Coke products. That said you do pay for the excellent food and large portions. They have outdoor and indoor seating which was key during COVID. read more

I was in the mood for some Greek food, and we found this place on Yelp. They have online ordering, but it was down the night we ordered. That said, food came out pretty quickly for our to go order on a Friday night. - Chicken salad: Greek salad with chicken breast. The chicken was grilled nicely. Unfortunately, mine was missing the feta. It comes with yogurt sauce, dressing, and some pretty spicy hot sauce on the side - Gyro sandwich: flavorful, a bit salty, but the fluffy pita was good - Onion rings: well seasoned, really crisp, a great onion ring - Kid's chicken: 2 chicken skewers and a side (we got fries) - a pretty good value and sizable portion for a kids' meal Everything was on the saltier side, which I like. I didn't expect to order onion rings, but I had a random craving, and they turned out to be my favorite part of the meal! read more

I love this place !! Super simple menu filled with gyros, plates, salads, and other desserts :) The gyro sandwich does indeed look as good as it tastes ! I love the combination of sauce, tasty meat, onions, and tomatoes together with the soft pita bread ! I've gotten the plates a couple of times and love how fresh and crispy the salad is ! It includes peppers, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, and two olives ! You get a choice between fries and rice when getting a plate. Haha of course you already know ya girl always chooses to get friesz ~~ ! Speaking of fries -- they are BOMB here ! Crispy and thickly cut with every bite ! I love mixing ketchup with their hot sauce and sprinkling pepper on top to dip my fries into ! I got the chicken last time -- it was good but I think the gyro has better flavor and is more satisfying to eat ! The chicken is soft and tender, but it felt semi dry because I didn't taste much of a flavor. I appreciate that the food comes out efficiently and that there's a designated parking on the side and behind the restaurant ! I've been coming here when my boyfriend when we dont want to wait at Falefel Stop's long line. Glad there's another greek spot I can hit up in the area ! I'll continuously come back to Yiasoo ! read more

2013 review ;) never posted it Got the gyro sandwich for $6.25. Definitely just a little too much for one person. Pita bread tasted very fresh and soft too. Could get the super gyro sandwich for $8.45. Comes with extra meat & feta cheese. Got my food in like 5 minutes. White sauce was interesting, closest thing i can compare to is watered down ranch. Hot sauce had a good kick, so much so i couldnt really tell what it tasted like. read more

Great gyros. Food is always fresh and quick. Happy service. Easy parking. Clean and friendly.

As always, the food is top quality, the preparation is fast and the portions are generous. The folks at the counter are always polite and eager to help. Especially noteworthy is the Salmon Salad where the Salmon portions are huge -- more generous than other types of restaurants we go to. The Combo platter also Has lots of food. Both of these offerings could easily make meals for multiple days. read more

If Cupertino were Yellowstone National Park, Yiassoo would be it's Old Faithful. A consistent and awesome cornerstone every time. A cozy'n'casual Greek spot, and long-time favorite for the surrounding neighborhood and offices alike -- regulars are abound, it's easy to see why. Consistently delicious. EVERY aspect of their gyros are comforting and perfectly fresh when it comes to ingredients and preparation. Accompaniments like the Greek fries and dessert like the baklava are no exception. So get out of the confines of your office for lunch and support a deserving local business that makes Greek deliciousness better than your mega-muilti-national-company's allegedly fancy cafeteria ever will... read more

I haven't come here in a while, because eating this food is a commitment. You start eating and you can't stop, but it's so filling! In my opinion, this place is great for one thing, gyro sandwich!! It has an awesome yogurt sauce and is filled to the brim with juicy gyro stuff. It's not fancy but it is good fast food and service was great even during covid. Don't forget to get a side of fries and ask for extra sauce! read more

I've been coming to this Greek restaurant for 20 years. Everything is well seasoned. It is the same owner operator the whole time. This is my favorite Greek food in San Jose. read more

My go-to spot for Greek food! The gyro smacks like some cheeks, and they load it up! The loaded fries and the gyro meat go hard in the m************ paint! Leave you wanting more! read more

Very good gyro wrap with good portions. Place feels like an old timey American diner. Workers are friendly.

I'm usually not a big fan of Greek food, but Yiassoo has convinced me otherwise! Boyfriend and I ordered their super gyros sandwiches with one being lamb and the other being chicken. Both were stuffed full with meat, cheese, and sauce! I would highly recommend them. We got a side of their Greek fries. It was greasy and soft, but that's the way I like 'em. The cherry on top is that they also have loukoumathes! It was dense but soft and syrupy-sweet from the honey. I prefer it over baklava. read more

I ordered the Super Gyros Salad ($18) and the portions were FAT. I thought I was getting more meat than salad tbh. The meat was flavorful but wasn't the most soft. I think it was actually a little crispy for some parts but it's ok because it tasted so good. The salad is a salad and the dressing was really good. It also came with the tzatziki sauce and a pita bread which was very nice. Overall, a delicious and filling meal that won't make you feel overstuffed. Although the price is higher, the quality and portions make it totally worth it. I'll have to try their sandwiches/wraps and plates next time! read more

Yiassoo - Super Gyros Salad ($18) - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

This place is the best restaurant to get a gyro. I've tried several in San Francisco and was so disgusted, I made two trips to Yiasoo in one week. The first time made me want it again soon after. I love this place! I always get the super gyro plate with salad and fries. The gyro is packed with meat. It's not oily or greasy. The meat is super tender and flavorful. The pita is really fluffy. You get a huge salad as well and the fries are SO good, especially when they're piping hot. The spicy sauce on the side isn't the Asian kind that some cheap places have. It's distinct and has a good kick to it. I think the prices are very fair, especially with inflation and everything that's happening right now. Service is quick and attentive. Lots of parking. You can order ahead and pick up too. read more

My experience here started out okay and soured at the end. We ordered the combination plate and Greek fries. The combo plate has huge chunks of meat which makes it a meal for sharing and the price (~$17) reasonable. The presentation was very nice; colorful and pretty. I would have preferred smaller bite-size pieces; it was a little hard to chew. The charred taste was too strong. I would not order this again. The Greek fries was pretty bomb - nice and crispy with yummy cheese. One of the workers there was cleaning the garbage swing door. I appreciated their attention to detail and making this a clean establishment. Around 9pm, we noticed the girl putting the chairs on top of the table. We were confused and thought she was just cleaning up early as Yelp says they close at 9:30. I ask her to be sure, and imagine our surprise when she said they actually closed at 9pm. We immediately get up and start getting ready to leave and getting takeout boxes for our food. My boyfriend is a thoughtful person and he was worried that the workers didn't know Yelp listed the hours wrong. He goes up to the guy worker and lets him know. But he was rude and started getting annoyed with us. Hey, we were trying to help you out. If you're so annoyed with customers telling you your restaurant information is out of date, maybe you should do something about it instead of being rude. And it would have been informative if you guys let us know when we ordered our food that you were closing soon. And yup, right when we were leaving, a couple comes in and gets told the restaurant is closed. And they too were surprised and mentioned the hours were listed wrong on Yelp and the guy was rude to them too. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Yiassoo - Combo plate and Greek fries - Greek Near Me - Cupertino, California

Honestly no complaints about the food or service. Portions were generous, taste was on point, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the gyros salad and the only thing I disliked were the olives but I wasn't much of an olive fan to begin with. Also, beware of the pits in the olives as it might be unexpected. I have to say that the warm pita bread was exceptional with the lamb and refreshing veggies. My friends got the gyros wrap and gave me some to try but I preferred eating the salad as it wasn't as messy. It gave me the same anxiety as if I was eating a burger loaded with fillings that would fall out at any minute. Though the last part is a me problem and shouldn't discourage you from getting it as the gyros wrap is just as delicious. read more

Amazing! The food was delicious - yummy hummus and yummy grilled chicken salad! Can't wait to come back soon!

This place is a solid 5 stars for me. Haven't had anything here that I didn't like. Can't go wrong with a traditional gyro but I really enjoy the steak sandwich. The chicken souvlaki is awesome as well. It's making my mouth water just writing this review. Prices are reasonable. Not cheap nor overpriced. Basically right what you expect to pay with great quality. I have seen the same cook working there for years. I think that is why they have consistently good food. Hopefully he never quits. They have a lot of outdoor dining tables. The building itself is small. Never had a problem with the service. It's the kind of place where you just order your food and they give you what you order. Really nothing else is needed, the food speaks for itself. Give it a try if you haven't. If you have you are probably already a regular. read more

Fries 3/5 gyro sandwich 4/5 Super gyro sandwich 5/5 - but you have to scrap out the extra meat put it over your fries and use some of the feta and break it on your fries The meat to pita ratio isn't great but if you order a super gyro with a side of fries you can turn those fries into fries with meat and feta and it fixes the ratio. read more

This is my favorite to go every time I crave Middle Eastern. I love their gyros so much especially the meat inside, such a good flavor, and the herb flavor stand out so much. I usually ordered the gyro with rice, even the rice is little salty for me, but it also is very good. I think the falafel was little dry. The lamb kebab was a boom and cab't go wrong when dipping in the yogurt sauce. The food came out fast. The service is also good. read more

Love the food and service! I've been going here for years and years and it never disappoints. Super gyro plate...the best!

Yiassoo has been around for so long, and my family has been going there forever. It's the perfect lunch spot because it's quick and convenient, but it's also good for weekday dinners when you don't feel like cooking. I don't think there's anything we haven't liked from Yiassoo. I'd recommend the gyros, chicken souvlaki sandwiches, Greek salad, dolmas, french fries, and avgolemono soup. They have tables inside and some out in the front area as well. read more
