I confirmed 3 times I wanted veggies with my combo XL, and still they forget the vegetables. Super frustrating paying 18 bucks and still messing up the order. Why is it on the customer to have to double check the work of the establishment to make sure the order is right? Makes me think twice about returning when there's so many other options for lunch around

My beef and veggies plate with ginger thingys. Yummiiii

superrrrr sad. Would come in here often but I guess their menus changed :( I would love coming in and getting half rice and half noodles but I guess now it's discontinued superrrrr bumed !!! I won't be visiting Yoshinoya as often just because of that. I feel like they out way too much rice

Gyudon
Reuben G.

4 stars because the dinning room was a little dirty. But the gyudon was right on the money. Not as many items on the menu as Japan. First time for me in the states. Nice staff. Fast service.

Large Large Gyudon Beef Bowl

100% recommended! Love the beef so much Now they have a new item: SHOYU RAMEN, looks nice as well!!

Habenero chicken

Yoshinoya is yoshinoya. I enjoyed it when I was younger. I tried it again and it's still the same good recipe. I guess the service here is hit and miss? The service provided to me was great. Very helpful and very friendly. I ordered the spicy habanero chicken and the gyudon. Both were very good. The chicken was very nicely grilled with a nice char to make it a bit crispy. Hopefully, everyone gets the same service and quality of food that I received!

XL Combo: gyudon beef and teriyaki chicken

I stopped by Yoshinoya late one night for dinner. I have nostalgic memories of eating their tasty beef and teriyaki chicken bowls with red pepper and pickled ginger as a teen. Prices have gone up. $16 with tax for an XL combo of gyudon beef and teriyaki chicken with veggies and white rice. The portion was fair and flavor was what I remembered. The ordering process is smooth and it took about 10 mins to get my food. Parking was surprisingly tight in the lot, shared with other eateries, at 930pm at night.

I visited Yoshinoya Japanese Kitchen in Chula Vista, CA on Friday, 1/24/25, around 12:30 PM. I decided to order the Combo XL Bowl with Teriyaki Ribeye Steak, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, White Rice & Steamed Vegetables. The flavor of the meats was underwhelming. I had to add a bunch of teriyaki sauce and soy sauce to enhance the taste. The steamed vegetables and rice were good and straightforward. I also got the Clam Chowder, which was decent. The service was a tad slow, but at least friendly. The price point of the food was doable. Overall, Yoshinoya's food was tolerable enough to eat. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but could potentially have another meal if I'm in the area.

The lady with orange hair walked behind the counter and thee the food on. Trash can next to entrance door

Their is no option for minus stars. The service it he worst and the worst is Leslie. Once I came up and asked to change my order. " She like where the receipt " the order was wrong and served me bowl with a bit noodles and Broth with meat. Under cooked. The man who es concerned with his own issue Irving. Didn't care. After she went ahead and changed my order she walked from behind The counter to the throw out the incorrect order. Showing he disdain and not giving proper customer service. I would never return. I hope they close this store. Never. Recommending or coming back !

Great customer service, helpful and friendly staff. The team provided an excellent service and is conveniently located. 100%

Large Beef Bowl with brown rice and extra onions

Restaurant is very clean and the food taste just as great as it did when I visited my first Yoshinoya 20 years ago

The original garbage is all I can say. Frozen vegetables and lame rice. Even hot sauce did not save it.

Does the beef bowl taste like the Japanese beef bowl and is there different option to customize your beef bowl?

The beef bowl does taste like the Japanese Beef Bowl. You can make some slight customizations to your bowl like extra juice, extra onions or no onions. You can also make it spicy with our crushed red pepper or sriracha sauce.

I came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia!

I loved that they had a pre-made sandos ready to grab and go, so we each grabbed our own boxes and a matcha. The box I had, included a shrimp sando, egg salad sando and a mango cream sando. I also ordered a large corn matcha, I am really into corn matchas. They also had, pork and chicken as an option for protein, an all fruit box and poke. They have hot food too, we'll definitely have to come back to try it. The shrimp sando was so good, super flavorful and whatever sauce they use I ended up using as a little dip for my egg sandwich. The fruit was really fresh, my mango still had a really good bite to it and it wasn't too sweet at all. My matcha, was delicious, I opted for the large because I was acting as tour guide. The matcha had good flavoring and the corn was not at all overpowering, perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be craving that matcha and whenever I'm in National city I'll definitely have to check them out. The service here was super friendly and the the restaurant was really inviting, would definitely recommend!

Our eyes are always hungrier than we are, so we ordered a lot, but managed to try everything. We got the chicken katsu curry plate, gyudon bowl, spicy katsu sandwhich, shrimp katsu sandwhich, a strawberry sandwhich, a tuna onigiri, a taro tornado, and thai tea. We loved the shrimp katsu sandwhich, which was nicely crunchy with the slaw to balance it out, however it was deceitfully full, as the pieces of shrimp are cut in half to make it seem like there is twice the amount of shrimp, but when you bite into those nice meaty pieces, that's it. The gyudon was very umami and flavorful and had a nice space portion. The curry was flavorful and rich. I would skip the spicy katsu sandwhich, it was very bland. The drinks were great! The taro flavor is so strong in the taro tornado and the mochi bits are such a nice texture. The thai tea was a classic, always consistently delicious wherever we go.

We really enjoyed their #1 Banh Mi sandwich, which was fresh, tasty, and surprisingly healthy, with such a satisfying crunch. The sandwich meat wasn't fatty at all, thank goodness. The sandwich was reasonably priced at around $8 with tax, and it was such a refreshing meal for my boyfriend & me to enjoy in the middle of the summer heat. Not only was our House Special sandwich prepared and served quickly; we originally thought that our House Sprcial Bánh Mi was going be served warm. We were very satisfied with trying their sandwiches for our very firs time! I also noticed that Banh Mi Paris Express also carried to-go drinks, chiken egg rolls and other ready-to-go foods, which makes it especially convenient for busy individuals and families who are always on the go!

The pancake was good, however i felt it could have used a macapuno syrup or something coconutty to complement the ube. The drizzle they put on it was good and i asked for extra and it boosted the flavor. This can probably feed 4-5 people depending on how hungry you are. Mexipino sandwich - this was good enough to split. I loved the savory and sweetness and saltiness. All the flavors complimented one another and i did a happy food dance. Calamansi mint drink - it was just ok for me. Reminds me of the calamansi drink from the pouches and they just added mint. It was too sweet for me so i probably wouldn't order again. It's not a big spot but they do have a lot of seating. The staff on duty were really nice. I want to come back to try the tortuga ninja sandwich. They do have high chairs for the little ones. Unsure of the restroom since we didnt use it. Plenty of free parking since this is in a strip mall.

Needless to say, my group went wild and ordered two or three rounds of tacos and left feeling uncomfortably full but also satisfied.

My first encounter was at approximately 1:09 PM, and my final encounter occurred at 2:10 PM. What should have been a simple food order turned into an unnecessarily frustrating experience lasting over an hour. My order was incomplete because my chili dogs were missing. While waiting for the mistake to be corrected, the rest of my food became cold. The cashiers were courteous and willing to remake my order, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the manager intervened and made the situation worse. She asked for my receipt and questioned whether I had even ordered the chili dogs, despite them being clearly listed on my receipt. She then requested that I return all the food and, with what I perceived as a sarcastic smile, insisted that it was "still warm." Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or offering a reasonable solution, she dismissed my concerns. I became extremely frustrated by her attitude and handling of the situation and ultimately requested a refund. I understand that mistakes happen, and I do not expect perfection. However, I do expect basic courtesy, professionalism, and accountability, especially from someone in a management position. What disappointed me most was that the cashiers were already willing to correct the mistake, yet the manager's intervention turned a simple issue into an unpleasant experience.
