AMAZING MUST-TRY I love Greek food. The food here is absolutely delicious. The reason I don't get Greek food more often is it's usually more expensive than other cuisines. This place is surprisingly affordable - I can make a habit out of going here. The Greek salad was fabulous. I also tried the chicken gyro, also delicious. The people who work here are very friendly. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one was bad enough to say something. Both my order and my girlfriend's order were completely wrong--like not even close. It's frustrating to spend money and end up with food you didn't even ask for. And then there's the sauce... I don't know what's in it, but it's so ridiculously spicy it feels like it could double as a fire starter. Completely overpowers everything and makes the food almost inedible. Between the messed-up orders and the over-the-top heat, this was a pretty disappointing experience. Definitely not rushing back anytime soon. UPDATE: (in response to owner since I cannot respond) No one put me up to this, it's an honest review. I ordered through Uber Eats so fixing the order wasn't an option. The fire starter is the Chipotle Aioli you seem to put on all your dishes (at least the items on my order.) this was not requested but is an ingredient included. Instead of a having a helpful response I get a very sarcastic tone from you. Was hoping for an overall better experience. read more

I've seen a lot of posts about Yasu Guys and really wanted to like it more than I did. But let's start with the good things. The owners have created a clean, brightly lit and comfortable restaurant in a very small, corner spot at an equally small corner center. The ceiling is a bit dilapidated, but everything else feels new and welcoming. The menu is a simple affair: a few Greek style proteins prepared as a gyro, a plate, a bowl or a crunch-wrap. I opted for the traditional mix of Lamb & Beef as a Gyro with tomato, onions, hot peppers and tzatziki sauce. The portion is generous, and comes with a small side of fries (or other choices) for less than $20, which is a good deal these days. While the presentation fell in line with any fast-casual spot, the meat itself was very oily. In the photos you'll see how much oil was seeping from the sandwich (the paper wrapper was soaked). The meat was nicely seasoned, but the flavor was ultimately overpowered by the excessive oil. I'm assuming this is because the meat is being held in a steam table allowing the oils to collect rather than being carved fresh from a vertical spit. The fries were standard issue, but okay for being included. Drinks are only available in cans, no cups or ice. It's possible that other meats from the menu would be less greasy, but I'm not inclined to return to find out. read more

Yasu Guys was, honestly, the 3rd attempt this day for a Greek/Mediterranean lunch. But sometimes pleasant surprises are waiting for you at THE NEXT SFV strip mall. lol My friend and I immediately felt the welcome hospitality of this cute, friendly, traditional Greek spot when we walked in and received a welcoming 'Yasu!' from the owner. We set to work with the menu, both wanting something on the light side, but protein is always a MUST. Not seeing an "Add a protein" option, we simply asked and were told 5oz of the marinated chicken could be added, but the presentation may not be perfect. Since many people had been requesting this, a solution on the menu would be added soon. We appreciated the attention to detail of presentation, but it's a salad. I figured a piece of grilled chicken would be added to the top and a day called. When our salads arrived, we were again asked how we felt, because he wanted to make sure we were happy with how it looked as well as tasted. Very considerate and we were pleased. It wasn't just a piece of grilled chicken it was about 5oz of slowed, simmered in Greek herbs, chunks of delicious chicken on top of an already delicious traditional Greek salad. Perfect for this hot Valley day! A traditional Greek salad is chopped with greens with red onion, tomato, feta, Persian cucumbers and tossed with olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning. The additional stewed chicken paired nicely and satisfied us completely. As we noshed, gabbed and lingered over lunch, MANY orders were be picked up and many customers were smiling and joining in conversations and laughter. THIS is a great neighborhood eatery. Both my friend and I bookmarked Yasu for a future lunch, but next time it will be the first stop. Cheers! "CC" read more

Friendly greeting when you arrive. I ordered the beer n lamb gyro and it was a hearty sandwich. It comes with fries but I mistakenly ordered some more. That sandwich is so meaty and good you don't need any extras. A few tables inside but seems more like a to go. It's made fresh so I suggest to call in your order. read more

I'm so happy I decided to visit yasu guys, I had the most amazing experience! If you love Greek flavors but also appreciate a modern, creative spin on classic dishes, this place absolutely delivers in all aspects! I ordered their Chicken Crunch Wrap, which is their take on a Greek gyro but reimagined in a way that feels fresh and fun. Think traditional gyro flavors like seasoned chicken, creamy sauces, crisp veggies, but wrapped up in a perfectly toasted, golden, handheld format that gives you that satisfying crunch in every bite. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, not dry at all. The balance of textures is what really got me. The tender meat, cool and creamy elements, and that crisp outer layer that ties everything together. It's comforting but also feels elevated at the same time. What I loved most is that it didn't feel greasy or heavy. Sometimes wraps like this can feel overwhelming, but this was flavorful without being too much. Every bite had that herby, savory Greek profile, but with a modern street-food twist that makes it super craveable. And the baklava cheesecake! I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be one of the best cheesecakes I've had in a long time. It's such a genius concept that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet, nutty, honeyed layers of baklava. The cheesecake itself was smooth and decadent, not overly sweet, and the baklava elements added that perfect crunch and warmth from the spices and nuts. The service was beyond great, seriously feels like I stepped into a place where they treat everyone like family. Super hospitable and welcoming. There were some regulars there when I visited and they talk amongst themselves like if they're family as well. I loved the vibes here! Overall, Yasu Guys really impressed me. It feels like a spot that understands traditional flavors but isn't afraid to experiment and modernize them. The food is well-executed, and genuinely exciting. If you're into Greek food but want something a little different from the usual gyro plate, this is your place. Already planning my next visit! Thank you for having me. read more

This place is absolutely worth the hype, phenomenal from start to finish. We ordered both the chicken Crunchwrap and the beef/lamb Crunchwrap, and each one was incredible in its own way. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and packed with that satisfying crunch in every bite. Now let's talk about the garlic parm fries... I'm going to need those every single time. Thick-cut, perfectly crisp, and absolutely drenched in sauce the flavor was insane. Truly next level. You can genuinely feel the love and intention the owner has poured into this business. That kind of passion shows up in the food. I can't wait to see more locations open up. And one small wish for the future, a tostada shawarma bowl on the menu would be a game changer read more

Having recently went to Greece, the hunt is on for some authentic Greek cuisine in LA I already love the Crunchwrap at Taco Bell (haha) so I was intrigued by their spin on it. But mostly my focus was getting my hands on some gyros and the delicious dessert bougatsa. The beef/lamb gyro was filling and the pita was nice and soft. It was loaded with meat! The tzatziki sauce was very good and had bits of feta in it. The fries were on the side which allowed them to remain crispy. The garlic parm chicken gyro was also good and was juicy. I wish they had the pork gyro like Greece but they said sometimes they will have pork as a special. I really enjoyed the Crunchwrap as well. The tostada inside remained crunchy and loaded with the garlic parm chicken is YUM. Now for the bougatsa, this is a yummy philo dough pastry stuffed with custard and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. If you like churros this should be right up your alley. They get the dough shipped from Greece and bake on the spot when ordered. It's definitely worth a try! Yes they are in a tiny strip mall with like two smoke shops and a liquor store but no worries, the food is good! read more

This place was/has been blowing up on the socials, so I dropped by and ordered the Greek crunch wrap supreme. It was mega-ok. I think the strength of this place could be their Greek food and roasted meats, so why push this item that is subpar Mexican carb vehicles? They didn't select a tostada that could withstand the steam bath that is their tortilla pocket, and the flour tortilla is nothing the write home about. It made me feel misled that they even offered this bastardization of a food item to me. They're worth a try, but don't go out of your way, like I did. And please, just stick to the Greek food. read more

Middle eastern food can be repetitive, so I was excited when I saw this place online and it had positive reviews. I was interested in trying the Beef and Lamb Crunchwrap, but reviews mentioned that it wasn't a lot of food for the price and I was feeling hungry. Instead, I went with the Beef and Lamb rice plate. My rice was drenched in butter to the point where it seeped through the box and I started to feel nauseous while eating. On top of that, the to go box was shallow and barely had any chipotle aioli on top. If you're cool with paying $20+ tax for a middle eastern fusion snack, I would give this place a shot. For me, the portions and price point don't entice me enough to try this place a second time. read more

So I tried the Ceasar chicken gyro after seeing some YouTube food reviewers go there. I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could. so the gyro was good and it was tasty. The reason for the three star review was the price $19. I feel is too much for the size of of the gyro I Just don't feel like I got my moneys worth. There was lettuce, chicken, and a few pieces of crispy pita I would say this thing shouldn't be more than $13. There are other places in the valley that are far cheaper and have handmade flatbread in front of you. If the price was a bit more reasonable, I would give this place an easy, four stars and I bet it would be a lot busier It did come with a small portion of fries, which I was not expecting. But even so just not very much value. I went to the restaurant in person. It was nice and clean. Total came out to 19.65 with a one dollar tip. read more

This place rules. Yes it's a little pricey but so is all good Greek food. I accept my fate. The guy that works there is very charming and likable. and maybe super handsome but who cares we are here to discuss food. The greecie fries(great name) are bomb as hell with the garlic whatever on it. The Crunchwrap was really good too, I think the banana peppers really add to it. The place is super cute and I love the mirrors on the wall. When you're sitting on the left they frame restaurant and bald guy very well. I'll attach a photo. Overall no complaints it's bomb and I will be back. Simple as that. read more

First time trying. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. Walking in, it is still pretty spartan, as they are just getting this location going. The guys working were friendly and helpful. They were also apologetic as they were out of the beef and lamb gyros meat. I ended up getting the chicken gyro crunch wrap. I also got the Garlic Parm loaded fries. My wife got the Classic Chicken Rice Plate. My wrap was good, but they use a tortilla, which was not substantial enough. My wrap was a bit hard to eat as it was falling apart. Probably because everything was very juicy. It was very good from a taste perspective. The fries were also really good. My wife's plate was good, but she would have preferred the beef, rather than the chicken plate. The owner was very gracious and gave us a complementary cheesecake slice. That was really good. Overall, they are just starting this location and are still working out the kinks, but based on the service and what we had this place will do very well. read more

It was light and fresh yet still filling. The owner was kind enough to come out and explain to us that they use all fresh ingredients, no seed oils or stuff like that. It definitely shows and taste. We will definitely be coming back very soon. read more

This fast casual eatery located in Van Nuys off Vanowen Street/Hazeltine Avenue in a small plaza lot with local neighboring business is one you need to try! The Yasu Guys crew are cool, caring and kind serving up a variety of modern Greek street food with nothing but local flare and flavor all seven days of the week from 11am until Midnight. Y.G. is so good, that it makes me miss living a beat away from the area ( I could walk hear in five minutes from my old place). Starting off as an incredible LA Valley pop up and slowly merging into a full on restaurant that's blooming more each day. Yasu guys still offers the pop up experience (check out their Instagram for the latest updates), including catering events. Their menu consists of crunch wraps, gyros, gyro plates, gyro sliders, rice plates, tacos, desserts, salads and sides. Extremely plant-based friendly with out of this world falafel and other offerings without sauces. Loads of vegetarian items including those with feta, aioli, etc. Available for pick up or delivery via UberEats, Postmates, DoorDash, GrubHub, etc, with future options to fully dine in. Some of the third party apps list some of their items with tzatziki as vegan (like the Vegan Falafel Greecie Fries and Falafel Plates), which isn't the case sense they make tzatziki the classic style way (with greek yogurt/dairy). Being vegan, this is an important minor detail to me. I'm hoping they'll add a garlic sauce or tahini in the future for a dairy-free alternative. They do offer mustard and my order of Greecie fries came with them and were extra delicious. I'm very in on Yasu Guys, with those delicious fries, falafel and assorted offerings that spice up your life :D read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant! I got it off of Uber eats so I can't speak to the ambience or service. But I would definitely order from here again! Their garlic Parmesan fries are drenched in garlicy Parmesan-y sauce in the best way and so well seasoned. I really enjoyed them and would absolutely get them again. I also got the Shawarma crunch wrap and that was nostalgic and unique and I love that! The flavor was good too. I enjoyed the fries more, but I would get the crunch wrap supreme again. All in all there was a lot of flavor with the meal so I enjoyed it! read more

I saw a few positive food blogger reviews of this place on IG so I decided to give it a try. This afternoon for lunch I took my wife and it was an incredible disappointment. It is in a tiny, overcrowded strip mall with zero parking. No spots in the small lot and no easy street parking. We had to park many blocks away. Once there, walking past the grime and flies into the restaurant we were hit with a pungent smell of Pinesol. The cashier was mopping but the smell was so strong - you could taste it. So instead of eating in, we had to ask for the food to go. Ordering: We were told they were out of beef, lamb and falafel! This is a Greek restaurant, right? Aren't those the main ingredients? So we had to go with chicken. So, we ordered 2 chicken crunch wraps, fries and 2 cans of soda... over $55! Wow. Insanely expensive for what we got. The food: Totally mid. Tasted like a frozen quesadilla from Ralphs. Also, not filling. read more

Yasu Guys - 1/2 of a chicken crunch wrap. Small and tasted like something from the frozen section you get at Ralph's. And that taziki sauce was - meh. - Greek Near Me - Van nuys , California

Parking is provided for this fast casual spot that makes food fresh to order. Staff is exceptionally kind. In fact,, fantastic customer service is a main priority. Clean restaurant that is still setting up with the casual ambiance while playing Greek music. Indoor seating only but this spot is open late. Pricing and portions are as expected. Food is Greek with a modernized spin. Crunch wrap was solid (lighter than expect so no food coma) but I would get it with double meat next time. Would love to come back and try other menu items as well. A good following for a new restaurant. In fact, while waiting in line, customers were giving me recommendations. A try for next time will be the suggested baklava milk shake. read more

First off wonderful, kind and humble family owned restaurant. I got lost getting here today and was seconds from turn back to go home. I called them and they gave me the address/guidance but for some strange reason my GPS guided me in circles. The owner called me again to make sure I was okay and my ETA. When I finally got there I was so embarrassed and kindly greeted by the owner and his mom. They had my order ready for me. My son fell asleep in the car and I didn't even have to go inside to get my food. That's what you call great customer service at its best. My son and I shared the chicken platter which came with grilled chicken, rice, feta, tomato cucumber salad and tzatziki. My son inhaled the rice and chicken. I was afraid that their house sauce would be too spicy for him but he enjoyed every bit. The sauce is what made the whole plate come together. Very flavorful, juicy chicken and fluffy rice. Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back with my family soon. read more

I feel like a lot of Mediterranean/Greek places neglect their falafel dishes and focus more on making their meat options taste good since those are what most people order, and this place felt like one of them. I was excited to try a Greek crunchwrap, but the one I had had zero flavor. Their falafel definitely needs improvement -- it was dense, dry, and lacked seasoning. The tzatziki sauce they serve on the side helped a little, but it was still pretty disappointing overall. The crunchwrap itself also wasn't very big, so paying $15 felt overpriced for what you get. The only positive thing I can say is that the ingredients did seem fresh. read more

Amazing food! Excellent service and ambiance! Brother at the counter always got you sorted!

Yasu Guys absolutely lived up to the hype tonight! We stopped by with my husband and kids, and from the moment we walked up we were greeted with the warmest smiles and such genuine hospitality. It's rare these days to find a place where the service is just as standout as the food -- but they truly delivered. I wish I had gotten the name of the guy taking our order, because he deserves major recognition. His attitude was on point -- so kind, patient, and welcoming. He made us feel so comfortable ordering, almost like you're sitting in your own home with someone taking care of you. Exceptional service like that stays with you. We ordered the beef/lamb shawarma wrap, the chicken parm wrap, the chicken parm crunchwrap, and the loaded fries -- every single thing was packed with flavor and made fresh. The kids are notoriously picky, and they even made them plain wraps exactly how they like them. Truly above and beyond. And then they surprised us with a slice of baklava cheesecake to try... WOW. Creamy, nutty, perfectly sweet -- such a memorable treat. The food looks exactly like the photos -- no false advertising here -- and it was so good we completely forgot to take pictures! Between the amazing food, the warmth, and the level of care, this is one of those spots you instantly want to return to. Highly recommend Yasu Guys! read more

If you are looking for real Greek flavor with heart and soul behind every bite, Yasu Guys is the spot you need in your life. This place is not just good. It is unforgettable. From the moment you walk up, you can feel the energy. The food smells like the streets of Thessaloniki and the hospitality hits you before you even place your order. You can tell everything is made with love, passion, and serious respect for Greek tradition. I tried the gyro and it honestly stopped me in my tracks. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in the softest pita. Every bite tastes like someone brought Greece straight to Los Angeles. Their bougatsa is next level too. Light, warm, and the perfect mix of sweet and comforting. What makes this place even better is the story behind it. The owner, Eduard, fell in love with Greece during the lockdown and brought that culture home with him. You can taste that journey in the food. This is not just a business. It is a passion brought to life. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and a genuine vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Trust me. One visit and you will be hooked. Yasu Guys is hands down one of the best Greek street food spots in L A. Highly recommended. read more
