It was such a beautiful day today decided to take baby girl and I here for lunch today, we both didn't know what we wanted, but I know I wanted something on the healthier side. So I decided let's go here she loves the Yakisoba chicken noodles so we shared that, and I got a side of pot stickers and Miso soup and the side salads. Perfect meal for today. The girl at the front who took our order seemed really shy but sweet. She took our order quickly we got our food pretty fast too. It got sort of busy after we sat down but everyone ordered to go. So just a nice lunch date with my beautiful daughter today. We had a nice time and ate so well. I really enjoyed my warm miso soup, the yakisoba noodles were chewy and tasty. We enjoyed the 6 pot stickers I ordered too. Thank you for our delicious meal and good service. It's like fast food Japanese that tastes pretty good we enjoy it. I recommend trying it if you haven't for a quick easy meal. Parking lot is always packed since they have a lot of different places to eat or get drinks. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

Fast, friendly service. Great tasting food. Ordered a teriyaki chicken, tempura, and California roll plate, and a side of California rolls on a quiet Monday. Wasn't as busy as it typically is. I think I usually get takeout from here on the weekends read more

Been going here forever but it seems like Yasai might be under new management because the cashier was someone I haven't seen before and he definitely wasn't friendly. He was also pretty cheap with the servings. read more

Tasty food and good value. Salmon plate with salads was wonderful. Very nice little place. Highly recommend. Service is good. read more

Really tasty ramen. My friend and I were nearby and decided to stop here for lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good their ramen was! read more

We ordered Yasai Japanese Grill for dinner one night and it was very flavorful! Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but I would recommend if you like teriyaki chicken, California rolls, or tuna. I ordered the rainbow rolls as well, and they tasted amazing!! They had the food ready quickly so my wife went to pick up and came back sooner than most pickups!! Although we did not eat there, the restaurant was spacious and clean. I will definitely return! read more

Teriyaki chicken plate was served warm with very little sauce. Asked for more and was given a container of refrigerated sauce. When I asked if they had any warm sauce was told sorry we don't. I don't want to put cold gel like sauce on my lukewarm chicken. If I was at home fine I'll warm it up myself but I was eating it there. Do not recommend unless you want lukewarm / room temp food and cold sauce. Won't be coming back ever. read more

I usually grab lunch here and the food and service are always great. That's why I decided to bring my family for dinner, but honestly, it felt like a totally different place. The food was still good, but the service was terrible. The cashier (Asian guy) was super rude and not welcoming at all. Don't even think about asking for anything extra because he'll just act like a jerk. Really disappointing that one person can ruin the whole vibe. If you want a good experience, definitely go during the day, not at night. read more

I give 2 stars because although the food was good the service was absolute shit with the asian guy that ruined our evening on Wednesday. I had brought my elderly grandmother (as a treat from her senior home) and she wanted to order herself. She asked if he spoke Spanish since her english is a bit rusty from her health issues. Which he replied very rudely with an attitude "No, no only English" almost rolling his eyes. That wouldn't have been an issue if he had just kindly said no I don't sorry. While taking our order we felt rushed as he kept asking if we were done even after I had said give me a minute. We got our food and asked if we could have teriyaki sauce which he replied again with attitude and almost with entitlement "Why didn't you tell me before" as if I didn't JUST ask for the sauce smh So let this is a warning to you all if you want to go here for their food and NOT the shitty ass service that we unfortunately received, just go in the mornings. read more

Great value, and the sides and polish on everything is super high. Would repeat and highly recommend whenever you need something that tastes good, provides good value, and will exceed your expectations. Very simple, lots of seating, came here after working out with some friends. read more

I have been going here for 10 years! I don't know what happened but our visit today... I couldn't eat the sushi. It was horrible. tempura was greasy and some of the vegetables uncooked. Rice was cold and they used to give a decent amount of rice! Nope that's over. We spent about 50 bucks. it was money down the drain. The bathroom! oh the toilet seat is broken and the sink doesn't shut off. No toilet paper and couldnt get a paper towel. Go anywhere just keep going. This used to be great and now it's a slum. We had to throw almost all the food in the trash can. read more

Chicken Katsu plate is my go to! With curry sauce. Food is fresh of course. The owner is awesome! Thank you, I'll be coming back :)

Love!! Just tried Yasai for the first time and it was ahhhhmazing. I got the chicken breast salad and the veggies we delish. The avocado and cucumber really hit and made this salad. Must try local spot!! read more

I thought the food was mid. Service was good. I don't think I'll go again, food wasn't exciting.

First time here and better than I was expected. I had the unagi bowl and it was loaded with salad which was great. The chicken and beef combo had a lot of food, will have left over. Would definitely be back again. read more

Found this hole in the wall place one day online. Great prices, great food and it all comes out super fast. I've only eaten the chicken here but it has never disappointed. Highly recommend for your next lunch spot or teriyaki chicken place. Couldn't recommend it enough. They have great lunch deals during the week read more

I go here with my family often. The food is really good and the price is even better. It's definitely one of the best places if you want teriyaki and rolls, highly recommend! :) read more

Average yet fair priced sushi. Tasty salad, and miso soup. Very casual. Order at the counter and casual seating. A large menu. Take your time to be sure you're ordering what you want. read more

Forever in search of good Udon within driving distance, for lunch. Found Yasai on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Ordering was easy, friendly counter help. Unfortunately not enough to make up for the subpar meal. Ordered the Shrimp Tempura Udon. The tempura came packaged with the noodles, so the (miniscule) shrimp was a slimy, gloppy mess before it ever hit the bland, flavorless broth, which tasted like nothing more than brownish salt water. Not enough green onion to even merit mentioning it on the menu as an inclusion. The fish cake was wafer thin, yet still somehow the texture of a hockey puck. Utterly disappointing. The search continues. read more

Maybe we just went on a bad day, but, my friend and I both got really sick! We ordered a tiger roll and a tempura roll. Service was ok and ambiance is just fast food style. I won't return... I hope your experience is better read more

Definitely recommend for the quantity and price with great flavored food. First impression was great all around. read more

Well, unfortunately, today was my last day at my company located in the Yorba Linda, CA area. I found this place on Yelp and actually went twice this week. First time, I ordered the chicken breast cutlet lunch and I have to say, what a deal. It was a lot of food for less than $9. It had two pieces of the chicken, a veggie skewer, rice, and a big container of the oriental and sumi salad. The chicken was thin which made a good crunch with the coating. A couple of days later, I went back, I ordered the Washington Roll which is basically a California Roll with salmon on top. I didn't think it was going to be enough food so I was ordering regular udon. But then the lady asked if I wanted the soup and salad with the roll, which was part of it. WOW. I said no to the udon. It was a lot of food again. Very good. read more

What a great find! Excellent food at a great price. Tasty combos and bowls. The Sushi is not like an expensive high-class Sushi bar, but it is decent and prepared well. Located in a strip-mall, atmosphere is fine for lunch and an informal dinner. You could easily invite your car-club friends for a tasty and not expensive meal together. No alcohol is served. read more

Good price! Lots of food! Clean and fresh! Located in a strip mall next to a Boba store and Rubio's this joint to me is a Japanese fast food restaurant equivalent to an In-n-out if you know what I mean. The menu is pretty comprehensive from sushi rolls to chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and etc. I'd elect not to eat sushi but come here mostly for the bowls and plates. They give you very big portions whether it's the protein, rice, or salad, and the food tastes clean. I particularly like how they pack the amount of salad in a separate container! My favorite salad is the sumi salad with that crunchy texture and sweetness but the garden salad is great too. Service is ok but there is an older lady that seems a bit grumpy on the phone or in person. Overall though the food, price, and speed of service make up for it! Nice. read more

I have been coming to this location for years! The quality is good. The food is always delicious and fresh. I especially love their udon, salmon bowl, beef bowl, potstickers, and sushi. The food comes out quick and it is better than most Japanese restaurants I have tried. I highly recommend this spot. It is one of my favorite places to eat at or order to go. read more

I picked up a dragon roll for my daughter on Tuesday and she immediately started feeling sick on Wednesday and still sick till this day with vomiting and diarrhea. We will not be coming here again to say the least. read more

Pretty good and reasonably priced. They have a pretty wide menu and it's a good value which is important at these times. The chicken yakisoba was real good, chicken seasoned better than a lot of other places, but also a little dry. read more

This place is good my first time I came I got the number #18 have a little of everything workers friendly also they other stuff that looks very good read more

Yasai Japanese Grill - Japanese Near Me - Placentia, California

Not sure why this place doesn't have higher reviews, because it definitely deserves it. I've ordered take out multiple times over the phone or in person, and the workers here are fast, courteous, and the order is correct every time. When my husband and I can't figure out what to eat, this place is our go-to. We normally get 2 beef bowls and 1 california roll, and total comes out to about $20. The beef is so delicious here - very tender, not burnt and very flavorful. The california rolls are my husband's favorite. Lots of crab meat and overall the flavor is on point, even better than some expensive Japanese restaurants we've visited. I always ask for their spring leaf salad instead of the sumi salad, and they're generous with their servings. Probably one of my favorite salads! The prices are reasonable and quality is great, and that's what keeps us coming back. I hope this place never changes! read more

GREAT value and food quality is pretty good! If I want a "safe" place to eat at in the area, this is probably one of my go to places! Staff is pretty friendly, prices are decent, and food is not bad as well. FOOD *Beef Combo platter with tempura and side salad (both salads are delicious but I prefer the oriental salad over the sumi salad - or you can do half & half!) *Udon is pretty basic but you can't go wrong here. The noodle consistency is about right and the broth isn't too salty. This is a "safe" dish for sure. *Side salad portion use to be a lot larger in serving size and the price was also lower before - I swear the price has gone up a few bucks but the portion is either smaller or at best the same :( *Sushi is just okay, there are other places for better quality sushi since I consider this more of a teriyaki-style fast food restaurant SERVICE *Staff here is very quick and they've never messed up any of my orders. If you don't want to wait, they even take orders over the phone! PARKING *Bunch of parking available but it can get busy in the early evening/after work. It does share a lot with a few other stores. read more

My fav Japanese fast food restaurant so far, for a great price they give a lot of food, and very tasty, brought my family that was visiting here to the spot and they also loved it I wish was closer to me But when I'm around no doubt where I'm doing to eat lol read more

-Solid place -Great value -Tasty Awesome spot if you're hungry and want basic Japanese staple dishes. I like the combo plate, it comes with Teriyaki beef, tempura veggies, 2 salads, veggie kabob, rice and Cali roll. Beef was surprisingly tender. Tempura had a good variety of veggies. It's fast casual. Some other reviewers were complaining about it not being authentic or "Asian" enough lol. Again, it's basic Japanese fast food but it's delicious and a good value. If you're looking for an omakase experience this ain't it. read more

Good place when you're craving Japanese food and the portions given are huge! Great value.

This used to be a good place to go for lunch and i really liked their food, but as of recently their food has been dropped in quality while raising prices. Lets just say every time i eat here im having mud butt. read more

My go to is a chicken bowl with oriental salad. I also love the salmon plate. I've only had the crunch roll as far as sushi goes and it's fire. It's a great lunch option that's near my job and it never disappoints. Their customer service is great! I love Yasai!! read more

Like most restaurants, they've recently raised their prices due to inflation. While totally understandable, they've seemingly raised their prices way more than others while their quality has remained the same. They were never known for having the best food, but their California rolls, tempura, rice, salmon and beef consistently hit the spot and were a great value. We especially liked their family meals and ordered them often for parties. Given the substantial price jump and the increasingly rude service as many pointed out, I'm no longer as big of a fan as I once was. read more

Location - In a plaza near other food places and stores. Parking - Reasonable amount of parking in the complex. Venue - One of your older smaller restaurants with limited seating. Prices - Great deal for $10 bucks you get a huge meal and healthy. Food - The food here is very fresh, tasty ,and healthy. Service - The lady in the front taking orders was very nice. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it here. read more
