XL Combo: gyudon beef and teriyaki chicken
lisa j.

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.

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

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.

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

Did not have the correct amount of proteins and very sloppy.

Today Friday Nov,3rd at 12:00pm. I usually enjoy coming here, but I've had a very disappointing experience on more than one occasion with a male cashier.Today I explained that I was new to using the app and had ordered beef and chicken, and I asked if my order could be corrected. Instead of helping me, the cashier argued with me and was dismissive this kind of unfriendliness makes customers feel unwelcome. Then I had asked him if I was able to get a little container of green onions and with an attitude he said it was 65cents wich I think it's unreasonable I would always get them for free as well as the beef juice . When I got home my combo bowls did not have the right amount of proteins it barely had any and they were sloppy. I hope management addresses this so others won't have the same experience because I'd like to continue coming here.

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

The food was horrible. The beer had an off taste. Maybe been siting to long. I really don't know why I went here. I guess I missed the ones back in Japan. I should have known. Service was lacking could not understand the server when I got my food the sauce looked as if it was tossed in the bag. It was all over the Togo box. Over all sucked. Highly disappointed and tell you all do not go here.

Classic Yoshinoya combo - teriyaki chicken, beef, and flan. Good meal, but next time, I'm taking it to-go for a better view.

Whenever I'm craving Yoshinoya, I usually take it to-go and enjoy it at a park or somewhere with a great view. This time, since I was in Chula Vista and away from my usual spots, I decided to dine in at this location. The food came out as expected not bad, but nothing extraordinary either. The flavors were okay for my taste, and thankfully, I didn't experience the bad food complaints I've seen in other reviews. However, it still didn't hit the same way it used to when I first tried Yoshinoya in Glendale, CA. There's something about that first experience that sets the bar high. I usually get a combo of teriyaki chicken, classic beef, a delicious flan, and a soda. The meal was satisfying, but the lack of ambiance made me realize that next time, I'll just take it to-go and eat somewhere with a better view. Customer service was standard, it's a fast-food setup with no waitress service, so there's not much to say about that. Overall, this location is fine for a quick Yoshinoya fix, but the taste is just different from what I remember in Glendale. Rating: 4/5 - Good for takeout, but not my go-to spot for dining in.

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 was torn between the tortuga ninja and the breakfast mexipino. Decided to go with the mexipino sandwich and the ube pancake. Ube pancake - served on a pizza plate. Wow factor lol. 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.

So yeah, I'm game, but occasionally, I need a break, so I'm glad to know there's Mexipino. The place offers an excellent, adobo-ish chicken and waffles; a weird-ass combination of great tastes called "Mexipino Hash"; and a super-refreshing drink made with calamansi and mint, which, to this former bartender and current fat man, makes perfect sense.

I asked her for a recommendation between 2 dishes and a few drinks. She was spot on in explaining what the taste profile was like. We got the pollo saltado dish, the tallarin verde dish and the chica morado drink. The pollo Salta was very good. I was hoping for it to be a bit less spicy with a bit more other flavor, but overall very good. I appreciate the balance in vegetables, protein and starch. The tallarin verde was good but I felt that was too much pasta, and no vegetables in the entire dish. The drink was very unique, it was nice to try something authentic to Peru.

Parking is horrific by the way and you can ask for valet for $25 or make a few circles to find some street parking. This place does not have a large sign facing the street. It's very easy to miss when you're driving to look for it. I would just aim to park near the giant art sculpture and the entrance will be towards the other side of that. When coming in, the art was already breath taking. They had the Iron Giant painting above the bar area, with very nice booth seating throughout the middle. The blinds were down for the harsh sunlight, but nearing 8 p.m. the blinds were brought up for us to see the sunset (it was cloudy though haha). Our server was excellent. His name was Raphael (Rafael?) and he frequently checked in on us to see if we needed anything else. He was amazing at his job! Shout out to him! We ordered several items tonight: Tuna Kare Kare - has shellfish, therefore I did not try it. Hunan Lamb Chops - amazing! Doesn't taste earthy or musky at all. The cilantro cream was a great touch. Crispy Pig Ears - probably the star out of all the appetizers. Tasted exactly like chicharrones. There's a smell when it arrives, but that didn't matter once you took a bite! It was perfection. Wagyu Corned Beef Fried Rice - yes, therefore is wagyu, but I thought it was okay. Fried rice is rice to me. Crispy Potatoes - this was good. I enjoyed the cream the potatoes were in and its crispy texture. Short Rib Kare Kare - I couldn't have this because of my shellfish allergy. Pork Tomahawk Tocino - FANTASTIC. MUST GET. Perfectly marinated and perfectly soft. Absolutely mouth watering. Sea bass Cha Ca - pleasantly soft and delicious. Did not taste fishy. It was a nice surprise and the curry was great as well. Buko Pandan - tastes exactly like Pandan! It was a nice copy of actual Pandan. Turon Tart - my favorite. Tasted exactly like Turon. The banana ice cream was good. Sticky Rice Crème Brulee - very good! Not my favorite, but my family enjoyed it. Overall, I truly enjoyed this place for its Filipino inspired dishes. The servers were all super attentive. Every time they brought out a dish to us, they reminded us about the shellfish allergy to insure I wouldn't eat it; they were mindful of our allergies. The experience was heightened with the cocktails we ordered as well. Again, an exquisite experience which I'd highly recommend to anyone.
