I recently moved to the area and decided to give this place a try because I was craving Japanese food Upon seeing the reviews I became a little worried, but decided to ahead anyway as it was reasonable priced and it seemed pretty hard to mess up my teriyaki chicken/beef combo. It would be unfair to deem the food here as putrid or disgusting, as it was EDIBLE, but I've had far better meals at hospitals, or with pre-made $2 frozen rice bowls at an average grocery store. If you're looking for the authentic Japanese convenience store and/or prison experience, this is your place. If you're looking to eat a good meal, steer clear.

One of my favorite fast food places.Service is fast and the employees are very nice.They always hook me up with a bunch of ginger, Siracha andpepper.My personal favorite!Lovee this place!

I got a few of your salads there delicious. I eat only fish they don’t understand I can do what ever power to loose weight. In be 500 feet deep in the sea. It’s money ? to go and be healthy I hope I have my benefits. I was working didn’t get them.

I really enjoy the food. A few people in my family sort of disagree so I think you need to try for yourself to see what you think. Everything is yummy! They forgot my ginger last time though...grr ?

I didn't think that it was very good. I ordered the chicken teriyaki. It seemed like it was sitting in liquid or something. It was definitely not cooked to order as most teriyaki is. The chicken was thighs with the skin still on. I have never seen that before either. All of the employees working were very courteous and helpful. I won't be going back though because of the food.

Went during lunch hour. Ordered 2 reulgukar bowls. Mixed vegetables were decent (don’t know if they’re boiled or steamed) but not special. White rice, not special. Had the sweet chili shrimp- the sauce is drizzled on before serving. The sauce is good but the shrimp breading was stale and the shrimp was over cooked. The teriyaki chicken meat was watery as if it had been just sitting in broth or liquid. The only thing that makes it teriyaki is the sauce. Meal was not satisfying. Wouldn’t recommend.

No complaining about customer service, cleanliness or portion, but the Originial Beef is way too salty! I tried to "correct" it and add some onion and garlic and saute, added water so I can "drain" the salty part, I can't help it. This is too sad! I don't even want to compare with Yoshinoya in Asia which wayy better and this review is finally has to be posted since I gave the second chance which was back in October. I thought I will see some improvement. I'm sorry Yoshinoya, but YOU BETTER CLOSE this location or are you trying to kill people with all the unbelieveable amount of sodium/sald. TRASH!! I can't believe I threw my money like this, I can't eat the food! Not to mention I have to drive from another city to get to this location.

Love this restaurant. Good Japanese food. I love original beef. I got coupon every month, love the coupon price with quality food

I use to love coming to this place when I was a kid, so making a trip to eat here is about nostalgia. However, I remember them giving heavy portions before. I bought an XL combo and it look smaller than the picture on the menu.

I love yoshinoya but this one gave me practically burnt chicken. Disappointing
