Going in for lunch but it seems to be nap time. This place used to be pretty good. We sure are missing Asaka!! read more

Eh, Not too impressed with the taste but it is carry out express. It would be nice to have some shrimp sauce included. Guess you have to ask for that. read more

I paid $16 for a meal I never received. I ordered at 5:40pm and left at 6:10pm. April Takahasi wanted to argue and get mouthy with me about being short staffed, to quote "well, apparantly you dont understand that we are short staffed. Now, I have a customer waiting on me, what more do you want?" This was after telling me that some erronous order she was saying I actually ordered, she had sent out the door with someone else. I was trying to tell her that wasn't my order at all. While I was waiting on my order, I noticed that neither April nor her daughter Billy, who was fairly useless the entire 30 minutes I was there, were wearing gloves. While sitting at the table waiting for my food, I couldnt touch the table because of how sticky it was. No wonder the place only has a score of 91 on the health inspection. Save yourself the money and stress, and just go get Panda Express. Fuck this place. read more

Very expensive for what you get, mine was $16 + for teriyaki chicken rice a carrots with a drink. Dining area is dark and dingey. Employees argued loudly the whole time I was there. read more

Wouldn't eat there again. I ordered shrimp hibachi. It was cooked on grill. Some little shrimp and a few pieces of overcooked broccoli. Service was appalling. Rude. She cursed at a co worker within my earshot. Walked off the floor but didn't leave instructions. So my order sat with the takeout orders for pickup. read more

Idk what that was but it wasn't Japanese food. Wasn't even good cafeteria food, one bite and straight into the trash....

My favorite spot in Asheville! The food is always cooked to order and it never disappoints. Would highly recommend to everyone!

I will never eat there again, I am so grossed out. I went in around 7:20 to order my food (they close at 8:30). After I sat down to wait on my to-go order, I watched a petite employee walk towards me with her black broom and long handled dust pan. The lady complained to the male employee that the bathrooms were nasty! The lady did not change her gloves, and I watched as she helped package to-go orders! I repeat, the lady DID NOT CHANGE HER GLOVES! Between getting to-go orders ready, the lady would pick up a dirty yellow sponge and scrub the counter. I wanted to thank god that this lady did not touch my container of food, thankfully the young male cashier bagged my food. Though the lady did not touch my container of food, I could not eat it! If I was confrontational, I would've asked for a refund. read more

Favorite Lunch Spot. They have the best white sauce and teriyaki sauce. Food is cooked right after you ordered. Never been disappointed!

Sad food. The fish in the sushi neither looked nor tasted fresh. The miso soup came straight out of a packet. The gyoza were greasy and flavorless, and seemed as though they also likely came from a package. You'd do just as well to grab a couple sushi rolls from the grocery store. read more

The rolls I order were super good. The crab rangoons were an after thought and I probably could have done without them. The staff was super friendly, and the store was in pretty good shape. Definitely will be going back. read more

Yoshida Express - sushi and rolls on a table - Sushi Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Change your name from express. Doesn't look clean at all no wok in sight and super slow. Let people know how long it will take. No gloves or mask used by cooks. Cashier serves up rice and plates food no gloves. Bad choice read more

This place is bomb af! I've grown up going to this place. I highly recommend, the workers are awesome and the food!! Ahh the food is to die for. I normally get the chicken teriyaki and the sweet carrots and the special pinkish white sauce makes everything 10 times better too. read more

Dirty. Good food, but a filthy place. I'd love to go there if they could keep the place clean. Don't know how they get by the health department. Don't take the risk. read more

No clue what was going on here as they are typically fairly run of the mill quality wise but I just recently got take out from this establishment and it was wretched. It also took almost 45 minutes to get our order despite the restaurant being basically empty. I had steak and chicken combination - it was bland and basically inedible. The steak was over cooked and flavorless; chicken was full of gristle, overcooked, and flavorless; vegetables had a just straight up bad taste, I did not eat them. My wife had the chicken dinner - chicken was full of gristle, overcooked, and flavorless; vegetables were overcooked and inedible. Child got chicken with rice kids item - chicken was, well just look above, and the "fried" rice was just white rice burned in oil... I truly don't understand how you screw up fried rice? It had no vegetables, no seasoning, and was literally just cooked on the stove top with oil, I watched the cook make it and that's all that was in it! In the past I've had mediocre experiences with Yoshida; never great but never bad, just simply a relatively quick, if expensive, Japanese place. After this experience I will not be returning, ever. read more

Yoshida Express - Bangin steak chicken and veggies! $17 because i added theveggies but super fresh and delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Terrible experience... I walked in to place a to-go order. First of all, this place smells like a musty old house, and I've never seen so many flies in January... the prices seemed a bit high, but I just figured they would be generous with their portions (wrong). After waiting 30 minutes (express???) my order finally came out. The food wasn't the worst I have even eaten, but definitely not worth what I paid. Teriyaki chicken consists of some chicken, a scoop of rice and some carrots. No other veggies and no white sauce... do yourself a favor and stay home, make some instant rice and throw some chicken in a pan with teriyaki sauce. It'll be a lot cheaper and you won't feel dirty afterwards. read more

I liked it. Good service, good food, and in walking distance of the car dealership service shop. Inside it's dated but that doesn't matter to me. I just needed a quick yet satisfying lunch and a place to keep warm while I wait on my car. read more

I love quick sushi and other oriental food, especially if I'm in a hurry. However, this is definitely an example of bad fast food. The service was awesome but I was quite worried I might get sick after my visit there. My sushi was a bit warmer than I'm used to which made me rethink on the quality and freshness of the meal. I chose to take the chicken and shrimp combo meal back to my friend at work. I hurriedly finished my meal because I really wanted to leave the dirty restaurant. I asked my friend about the quality of his meal and he said "It's alright, but can you give me more shrimp sauce?". I took that as a sign that the food wasn't seasoned very well, if at all. I guess this place is alright if you're in a hurry and don't really mind what you put in your stomach. read more

Not that great of food. No flavor at all. I have always ate at Kobe Express and will be going there from now on.

Food was fare in taste but a bit pricy for the amount you receive. My order was take-out but during the time I spent there waiting it looked clean. I however did notice the current sanitation grade was only 91 and that concerned me. read more

I just had lunch at Yoshida Express. I was pleased to see their health score was 95%. I ordered the lunch steak & chicken combo, no broccoli, to go. What I got was steak & shrimp broccoli? carrots & rice were on the side Nevertheless, quality & flavor was pretty typical hibachi steak & shrimp, so not bad. The steak though good quality, was all by itself, which I thought it a little bland. Onions, etc might help? The shrimp was mixed with the broccoli that wasn't supposed to be in there? Entree only including tax was $10.91 read more

My teenage son who loves Japanese food asked me if we could find somewhere in Asheville to grab Japanese so we stopped in at Yoshida Ex. We usually eat at Kobe in Waynesville which I highly recommend. I ordered what I usually order from Kobe here at Yoshida only to be made to feel like a fool by the guy at the register smugly taking our order. Literally made fun of me for thinking that I would get mushrooms with my hibachi steak and I told him I had gotten mixed up with how Kobe makes hibachi and then he laughed and made fun of me for how I pronounced Kobe saying it's pronounced Ko-Bay and that it's not Japanese but Chinese food (he was wrong) this is my experience of this restaurant up to this point and I haven't even seen my food yet and quite honestly don't even want to. We ended up not walking out the door after being disrespected by this guy for no reason at all and we ate our meal. Roughly $12 per person. The next weekend we went to Ganko on Bleachery Blvd right down the road. We were welcomed with a very warm greeting by no less than 3 members of staff upon walking in. Super friendly table service at Ganko which Yoshida doesn't offer, Yoshida sits your plate on the counter which is fine in itself if the service is friendly. I'm not an egotistical person and being treated like a king isn't what I expect but being laughed at in front of my children while we're trying to decide what to order is almost cause to get a flat nose, I will not be back to Yoshida ever. There's too many other better options within a short drive. read more

They always have my order correct and is ready by the time I am there to pick it up. My coworkers and I love this place and order from it all of the time. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Visited Yoshida for the first time and immediately noticed that the restaurant did not look 'restaurant quality' clean. The sanitation score was posted as 94 at my time of visit. The staff were polite, helpful and courteous and the food for my take out order was delivered after a reasonably short wait. I ordered a teriyaki steak and a teriyaki chicken, for a total of over $17.00, the most I ever paid for 2 plates of Japanese carry-out. I wish I could say more than that the food was passable and filling, but I can't. Both dishes were forgettably pedestrian in taste, and for the expense, not enough to bring me back as a repeat customer, which, I would have loved to have been considering this restaurant is so conveniently located for my schedule. read more
