My family and I have been coming here for 10+ years. The food is always fresh and delicious. My favorite is the Katsu chicken plate. One of my favorite dishes in south OC. Highly recommend checking it out. Their sushi rolls are really good, and the atmosphere is chill. The owners are so kind and handle a busy restaurant well. Add this spot to your list. read more

I ordered my usual, chicken Katsu. Instead of the crispy panko crusted chicken, this time is came with a slightly breaded (not Panko) coating. When I questioned the coating being different, they insisted it was the same. It was definitely not the same. It was dry and not crispy as all. Very disappointing as this has been my favorite for years. Will not be buying this again. read more

Yogis Grill - Chicken katsu without the crispy Panko coating. Dry and no taste. BRING BACK THE PANKO COATING! - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

$3.50 for edamame? Have you seen what you're giving out for $3.50 it's like 12 peapods I will never order that again. Also, why are you asking for tips on counter service? This practice needs to stop. read more

I've been going to Yogis for 10+ years at this point and they consistently serve the best takeout sushi and poke bowls. The salmon is never fishy or low quality. The portions are consistent with the size description and the price. The service is typically pretty quick, especially for carry out. The restaurant space itself is clean, albeit a little crowded with tables and chairs, but it's never felt like an issue when I've dined in. And the owner has been there every single time I've visited, which signals to me that he cares a lot about his business and the quality of food being prepared. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Yogis if you want quick, consistently fresh and tasty sushi at a reasonable price. read more

Yogis Grill - Poke Bowl (Regular) - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I reached out to my FB Lake Forest Moms group asking for recommendations for a nice California sushi roll place for my teenager with a craving today. This place was the first to be recommended, so we placed an over for take out. Upon arrival, we walked into a lady complaining of quality while what appeared to be picking up an order so I was a tad nervous but stayed open minded since the feel of this little restaurant, when walking in, made me instantly feel comfortable and warm. When we got home and opened up our order, my daughter's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! She immediately took a photo and began eating the entire roll within 5 min I highly recommend this place for quality tasty affordable sushi rolls etc read more

Yogis Grill - Chicken Udon - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

On our weekly rotation for dinner... or meal prep. Lol. Yogis has been here for as long as I can remember. Seems like it is a family owned / franchised location. Decent amount of tables inside. Clean establishment & fast service. Here's the BEST thing about Yogis: $3.99 California rolls on Mondays & Tuesdays. $5.99 Crunch rolls on Wednesdays & Thursdays. I mean, where in this economy can you even get food that cheap anymore? We also love their chicken, beef, & veggie bowl (Flame Broiler style). The large is plenty enough for me to split in 2-3 smaller containers as lunch for the week. Recently we tried the chicken katsu and that was delicious. We usually call in our order and pick it up on our way home from work. When we can't decide on what to eat, this is our default. read more

My absolute favorite spot to get poke! I have been coming here for many years and it's always consistently good. They have the best toppings and out such a good portion of everything. It very good value for money. The owner is very nice. Such a hidden gem in my opinion :) read more

Yogis Grill - Poke Bowl (Regular) - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Not bad but way overpriced. You can get more bang for your buck at other Sushi establishments.

Same situation as my previous review. This time was actually worse as I walked in to an open restaurant at 10:58 and was met with surprise and once again, was told oh 11 we open. The employees looked absolutely shocked that a person was there. Seriously, 2 freakin minutes? I understand maybe the register might have a time restriction but you can't at least get my order going? If you are not open to the public and taking orders then LOCK YOUR DOORS. The food is decent-ish but the service is absolute crap. And the place is disgusting. Go anywhere else except here. read more

The guy who was fun is no longer there. The sushi chef who was there is no longer there. The owner works full-time, so there's zero ambience Worst ever poke bowl!!!! The Poké bowl was warm fish with regular oil, not spicy, like I ordered. There was no mayonnaise in the spicy mayonnaise sauce. Dude, if you have a sushi restaurant, do yourself a favor, and get a SUSHI Chef. (plus the prices doubled) NOPE! read more

Yogis Grill - Poké bowl by, not a sushi chef. Never again. - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

food sucks!!! and overpriced for the horrible portions they give , also sushi is worst than the grocery store!!!! what a huge waste of 70$ wow read more

Eating at Yogis Grill is like eating at your parents' house. The ingredients are fresh and each serving is prepared with love. The owner spends five hours making the secret teriyaki sauce daily, and the superiority of gourmet cooking shines compared to other fast food restaurants' large batch process. My poke bowl was creamy and the sauce infuses every bite with flavor. The fish was plentiful and fresh, and the bowl has more fish than rice. It's got just enough medium spiciness to keep things interesting without masking the taste of the food. Even though I ordered the regular-sized bowl, I was thoroughly satisfied by the time I reached the bottom of the bowl. The dining area isn't big, but I didn't feel cramped eating my poke. The owner came out and talked to us about how the business weathered the pandemic and the sub-prime loan crisis. They're still going strong, but they appreciate your support and love. Treat yourself with some home-cooking and leave with a sense of nostalgia for your childhood--unless you're still a child, of course. read more

Really good chicken bowls. Nice kid that works there but so does a really arrogant and rude older man.

The food here was delicious and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend coming here. I will absolutely be returning in the future.

Decent quality take out sushi and Japanese food. Has been consistent for years. A 3+ star restaurant. Subtract 1+ star for the 20 something check out person that had his back to all of their customers for the 30 minutes that I was there for. Choosing to EAT in front of customers while talking to kitchen staff and ignoring customers. Even when he did talk to customers (who saw that their order was up and just sitting there as he socialized), asking him to please complete their transactions, he spoke with his back to them because he was so focused on completing his chit-chat with fellow employees in the kitchen. If he's not interested in the job, it would be a service to your customers to put someone else in that position that was more responsive and respectful. I say this as a long-term customer... read more

This probably ranks among the most tasteless joke of a food. The chicken has smokey smell but that is the entire taste. The closest thing that comes to mind is smoked cardboard. Rice is sticky gooey. read more

Yogis Grill - Chicken Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I always call in my order, and they get it right every time! My go-to is the Chicken T&T combo, which never disappoints. The portions are generous--perfect for saving some for the next day. I especially love the delicious charred flavor they add to the chicken. Highly recommend! read more

Been going here for years. Worst Service Ever, always without fail. Today I ordered Two California Rolls to go. When my order was ready I asked for a side of teriyaki sauce to go. Lady flat out said "no". Ummm Excuse me what do you mean no. I need Teryaki for my order, can I buy it?!?. She even seemed bothered by that. read more

Whoever took my daughter's order today was so appallingly unprofessional. He embarrassed her and was super loud for everyone to hear just because she wanted her rice without the sauce for her poke bowl. I will never recommend this place to anyone after today. She called me and was so upset! Shame on whoever was taking her order!! Soo unprofessional!! And to top it off, whoever made the bowl STILL added the sauce when she specifically said she didn't want the sauce on her rice. Terrible customer service. read more

Found a hair in my sushi roll. Through it away. Used to be good 6 years ago but when it's empty on a Saturday night.....

Baked Salmon roll...all I got to say is where is the green stuff...avocado? Cucumber? I guess there is a sliver of avocado next to the sliver of salmon...look close. NOT worth the 16.99...only saving grace is the taste. read more

Been coming to Yogis Grill now for about 15 years. I'm a fan of the beef plate, good size portions. Nice friendly service, quick and easy. How can you not love that! Really just a simple place with good food! read more

I had been a regular customer for years. One thing I like (or liked) was that they have a buy 2, get one 1 free special on California rolls on the weekends. Lately I went there several weekends for the special for me and my wife for takeout. Although maybe not how you're supposed to eat California rolls, my wife likes to dip hers in teriyaki sauce. During my last visit, the gentleman who is always there (I think he's the owner) charged me a dollar for one little plastic cup of teriyaki sauce that he always used to give me for free (its a condiment!) and probably costs him a penny, if that. He gives it out for free when he sells chicken/beef bowls and other dishes. I think he was being really cheap and it's not the right way to treat a long-time customer. I haven't been back since, and I don't really have a desire to go back anytime soon. read more

Yogis used to be consistently good with their food now they're consistently serving dried up chicken in their chicken teriyaki bowls. I've wanted to give them a shot and thought maybe it was a one time thing but I keep getting dried up chicken in my bowls. What happened to this place? I don't recommend any longer. read more

Love yogis.. been going here for 20 years. Specifically, the monster roll is a go to and on the weekends you get 1 free when you buy 2.

Never had a bad experience here. The owner recognizes my order all the time. Very friendly staff. The gyoza reminds me of what I used to get at one Japanese restaurant in Sacramento. The vegetable tempura is consistent and not a globby mess of batter. Their bowls are delicious and for being fast food their rolls are very good. Since living in Lake Forest I've been here at least once or twice a week. read more

After reading reviews my wife and I decided to try Yogis. We ordered the beef teriyaki bowl, chicken teriyaki bowl and 3 egg rolls. It was hands down the worst teriyaki ever. We ended up throwing it away after just a few bites. Both bowls tasted like burnt charcoal bites. We will not be returning. read more

definitely my favorite teriyaki chicken in the area, locally owned, love coming here post workout

I haven't been here in couple years. Came for a large chicken Teriyaki bowl. The food has gone hill. The chicken had no taste and was very dry. I guess I won't be coming back. read more

This place is extremely underrated! They have great value on different rice bowls and sushi rolls. Of course you're not getting 5 star sushi, but the raw fish is still fresh and at the price it's a steal! The current deals they have are: Weekend buy 2 rolls get 1 free Mon/Tuesday $3 ca roll We'd/thurs $5 crunch roll read more

Been coming to Yogi's for YEARS. Everything is amazing here... from the bowls to sushi, to OMG the stuffed Jalapenos!!! Thos are prob my favorite... SO SO SOOOOOOOO GOOD! Do yourself a favor and try those jalapeños!!! read more

The older gentleman who seemed to be in charge was on his cell phone, looked at us, didn't acknowledge us or say Hello. He stiod there and then walked away to the back. What a crap way to greet your customers. Guess they don't need our business or appreciate us. Crunchy Roll and California roll were with soggy rice. They were not busy at all, it was only us and 2 other customers. And the bathrooms were incredibly dirty. 5% discount if you pay cash. Not a fan. read more

Not the best place for sushi. A bit bland and not much for the price. Thier menu pics make it look soon much better than it is. Teriyaki is good but nothing special. Extra star to support local businesses but ditch the sushi and put the money into improving teriyaki bowls. Wow no napkins... honestly, the supermarket sushi tastes better :/ After finishing it I'm so unhappy. Wasted 20 dollars on blandest sushi I've ever had. :( read more

Weekend special is really sweet. Buy 2 rolls get one free. Although you gotta make sure you get the right value (I.e. don't order a California roll). Overall much better than grocery store sushi and service is quick and easy. I'll be back. read more

Was surprised to see the place with a 3.7?! The food was excellent for your basic beef, chicken and rice. The meat quality was great. Better than waba and flame broiler in my opinion. Great job! read more

Stuck inside cause of the craziness going on with CIVIT-19? Craving sushi but don't have the means to make it? No worries, Yogi's grill has got you covered. Bf and I were having a craving and was thrilled to find out they were open. Yogis is available through Postmates and Uber eats. We opted to do our own pick up so at least the business will be able to keep more of their cut. Plus it was honestly cheaper for us. Saved $60 by doing our own pick up, and we were able to get their deal. Man on the phone offered us buy 2 rolls get 1 free. Sushi was great. Bf's favorite had been the Mexican Roll (avocado, siracha, and spicy California roll). Mine was definitely the Rock and Roll (cucumber roll, filled with imitation crab, tuna, salmon, and I believe albacore or yellowtail) super refreshing. Also was a big fan of the Salmon Lover roll (tempura shrimp with spicy tuna, avocado, cilantro, wrapped and topped with salmon, crispy shallots, and spicy mayo). So much flavor with this roll. Help support your local businesses and yourself to some good sushi rolls! read more

We go to Yogi's grill for the teriyaki chicken bowls/plates! The people who work there are always nice and professional. We have ordered for pick up & via third party delivery as well with no issues! Portions and prices are fair, and you might even snag yourself a good deal if you want to take advantage of some of their daily deals! During our recent visit, we ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl, teriyaki chicken plate, and got a California roll w/the Monday deal. The roll was okay - not bad but nothing special, but probably wouldn't order it again. We have tried a few other things on their menu over the years, but the one thing that keeps us coming back is their teriyaki chicken. The meat is consistently moist and well marinated, and the teriyaki sauce that comes with it is delicious! Worth a visit if you are having a teriyaki chicken craving! read more

Always delicious, fast and with great tunes on the radio. These really guys know how to rock their rolls
