This food is DREADFUL! The WORST I have EVER had from them! A large chicken is just same amount of chicken in a regular bowl, same amount of vegetables and a WHOLE LOT OF RICE. The udon noodles are as dry as a the bottom of a vacuum cleaner bag and tasted like it as well! This is my first time criticizing Yoshinoya because usually it's reasonably good! But I bought from the one in Carson isn't fit to give to a blind 3-legged dog blind with one eye and half of it's ears bitten by an alley cat! Do i recommend this place? Heck E No! read more

I ordered an extra large beef bowl with Vegetable and no rice. I got more vegetables than beef in this bowl. The manager has no customer service. He wanted me to give him $1.00 to add on more beef. Not a good place to eat. The service is slow and the people are not friendly. The manager need training on how to take care of his customers. read more

Don't hate the Yosh. I'm not a big fan of writing reviews for fast food joints but I have to pay homage to Yoshinoya. It's not often that I eat out for lunch when I'm at work, but this place ranks high in the list of options. This particular location though, the parking lot is straight up a bust. I've warned you, it's usually a cluster F so be careful. The concept has always been simple: beef or chicken or both. Combo or large for when you have an appetite. Regular bowl size for when you're attempting to keep it enough but not overwhelming. Yes, it's sodium driven. You better believe it. That's why it's so darn addicting. And yet, they will happily give you extra soy sauce if you need. Love that beef juice; you even ask for "extra juice please." Some ask for extra beef but that will surely come with an additional fee. Not a fan of the vegetables that come with the chicken? No problem. Let them know and they'll keep those greens far away. These days Yoshinoya has tried to fancy up their menu. I see fish, fried items, side dishes, and of course there's soup and dessert. Back in college, we use to dump the clam chowder on our beef bowls. Don't ask me why but that stuff was dank. Then the next morning we all had the liquid squirts but a few days later we would do it again. Miss those days when we could eat and digest anything and everything. These days, my digestive system and intestines instantly lets me know when it doesn't appreciate the junk I've consumed. I love the fact that the ginger and Japanese chili powder is there for your taking. We always order take out but I don't waste their togo condiments. I wait for my food, take it out of the bag, then go to the condiment station and load up before I roll out. By the time, my food is ready to be devoured, all you see is a mountain of red ginger and a hail of red/orange pepper. If you love Yoshinoya the way I do, be on the look out for those coupons. It's typically buy one item and get another of equal/lesser value 50% off. I heard that even when you don't have these coupons, you can ask the person behind the counter for it and they will give it to you. I have yet to test out that theory myself. I usually just grab the coupons randomly from the mail. Yeah, it's sh!tty but we still come back. It may no longer be a weekly deal like back in the day but every once in a while the craving comes knocking. I saw a Yoshinoya in Thailand on my last trip and I fouled up by not stopping by to pick something up. I won't let that opportunity pass again when I head back to the motherland. Future stop: Yoshinoya Japan! read more

I ordered the large chicken teriyaki. The chicken was bland, cold and the taste overall was unpleasent with the mix of the "teriyaki" sauce. I only ate about 1/5th of my bowl in trying to eliminate all doubt of a bad piece of chicken. Will never be coming back. read more

Mr. Adrian Mack,was extremely professional,polite and an awesome personality! It was my pleasure meeting him & the staff was great,as well.

Yoshinoya is one of the places that I have passed by many times but have not tried yet, so last week when I got some coupons for their new Grilled Tilapia Plate ($4/each or $7 for 2) I decided to change that. At around lunch time there was a line about three people deep ahead on me and the restaurant was about 25% full with people eating in. Ordering was straightforward and I decided to get the Grilled Tilapia plate with Lemon Garlic Butter sauce and vegetables instead of coleslaw. Food took almost 15 minutes to be prepared considering the people who had already ordered ahead of me and orders from the drive through that kept bumping walk-in orders down. Anyway, I finally dug in with a lot of skepticism but was pleasantly surprised on all fronts. To begin the portion was huge comparable to what you would get in Phil's Fish Grill or California Fish Grill. The tilapia was grilled perfectly, the vegetables were steamed perfected (no mushiness) and the rice was of good quality and seasoned with some sesame seeds (I think not sure) that enhanced its flavor. The lemon garlic sauce needed some more work, in-fact it needs a lot of work to get it to an acceptable flavor profile. Price was it was $5.50 which was almost half the price at comparable places with everything apart from the lemon garlic sauce being of comparable quality. when combined with the coupon it was a steal. Will be back to exhaust some more coupons that I have. read more

I want to thank Khayla for her excellent customer service. I, especially, want to thank, Tanya, the Shift Supervisor, for attending to my wife's order. The combo plate my wife ordered was chicken and shrimp. My wife mentioned the texture of the shrimp was mushy and did not taste right to her. She went to speak to Khayla, who immediately called over Tanya. Tanya listened to my wife's complaint regarding the texture of the shrimp. Tanya offered to replace the shrimp although it would take a few minutes to prepare. Or, offered to replace the shrimp with another item. My wife elected to replace the shrimp for chicken. Tanya, did an excellent job handling this situation. These two ladies are valuable employee's. read more

Tonights choices were Nasty. Vegtables were uncooked hard as rocks, Shrimp was still frozen on the inside and the breading tasted like mush. It'll be a long time before i go back here even with coupons. They also raised the price of their drinks to $1.99 for a 20 oz cup. Only did 1 star cause i couldnt fo zero or negative. read more

Went here late last night for a combo beef and chicken bowl with veggies and white rice and a side of coleslaw. What I got was 3 little pieces of burnt tough chicken with some rice and beef with veggies. The person at the drive thru window gave me 5 containers with very little hot sauce in each. Not sure if they're rationing out the hot sauce but it was a poor use of containers. WARNING TMI AHEAD: About an hour after eating I had the runs literally like Niagara Falls. I knew it was the food I just ate because I could feel the heat of the hot sauce as it exited. It is now Day 2 of volcano Yoshinoya. I'm feeling a little better but still reeling from the effects. Will I be returning? Hell to the nah, nah, nah! Would I recommend it? Eat there at your own risk! read more

We made an order few days ago and realized the order was wrong when we were about to eat. We used the $14.25 coupon which comes with 2 combo bowls. One of the orders was wrong. It has no vegetables and the meat are all gyudon. Hubby ordered wagyu beef and the regular beef. Anyway, I called the Carson St Branch and a guy who answered the phone said his name is Mack and on the receipt it says ADRIAN MACK who was hesitant to tell me his name when asked. He said he is the "manager". When I mentioned to him that the order is wrong, his reply was so arrogant. Telling me he repeated the order and that there was no mistake on his part. I told him it doesn't matter it's still a wrong order coz the combo has no veggies. With his arrogant tone I asked if I can speak to another person higher in rank than him he said he's not here so I told him if he can give me the person's name. But instead, this "manager" hanged up the phone on me and never answered my calls at all! Is this how you treat your customer? Is this how a manager do? Instead of apologizing, this is what he did! I don't think franchise owners will like this behavior! read more

Hello I love beef bowl, The one in Carson is too expensive and not very kind to customers especially the manager he look like just Graduated from Bonita elementary.

But this place need to relocate to south central! Thank you read more

It's dinner time, and they're out of white rice. Estimated preparation time was quoted for ONE HOUR. Female cashier was rude, and I just decided to go somewhere else after waiting to be told there was no rice. If you're out of a main ingredient, a common courtesy would be to put a sign up, or let the patrons waiting in line know in advance. Get it together Yoshinoya Carson! read more

Ran over here for a quick lunch. Janet was once again phenomenal (as usual). Never let down here

Been a Yoshinoya fan since 1990 (can't believe it's been that long!) Had to go to downtown LA off Vermont to get this, then when they opened one up near where we lived in Cerritos...it was on! Me and my brothers would eat this weekly! I still go there and now I go with my wife and 2 little ones when we get too lazy to cook. My parents, brothers and I hoard those coupons we get in the mail(thanks Yoshinoya!). Pretty much get the same thing...combo bowl with chicken and beef. I appreciate them trying to offer new items, the shrimp, chicken wings etc. As for this location, been to the drive through probably 7-8 times and the food is always good, wish the portions of meat were a little better(more!) and service was pretty fast and always friendly. But I'm doing this review because the dude behind the counter today, youngish Filipino guy was really cool. Friendly and all that good stuff but when he called my name when food was ready he told me he threw in a choc chip cookie for my 4 year old who was running around the restaurant, not too annoyingly but just enough to burn the sugar he had previously got from our short drive there. So my son was really happy to see that 1 little cookie waiting for him when he finished his food of course! I mean it was nothing spectacular what he did but it does mean a lot, especially these days when customer service isn't what it used to be. So we def appreciated that. As for the restaurant, it was surprisingly really clean and seemed pretty up to date compared to the other Yoshinoyas I've been to. Definitely will come back...with a coupon of course! read more

Sometimes understaffed so orders take a while to come out. I come here often since half my office loves this place and I'm the one to pick up the food. Parking can sometimes be hard to find since it's in a tiny plaza. The drive thru line can sometimes take longer than actually walking in, but I always walk in since there's usually parking. The last time I was there, they were super understaffed, so orders took longer to come out. I always ask for extra ginger and they give me so much! read more

I have been a lifelong supporter and customer of Yoshinoya and my visits have all been relatively positive with the few minor meal mix-ups but no issues that have warranted a message to the company. But this is different. I purchased several meals with my office and was so upset and disgusted to find a rotten piece of lettuce in my meal. I cannot believe that there was such an oversight and that this was sold with the meal. read more
