    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.

    The lady with orange hair walked behind the counter and thee the food on. Trash can next to entrance door

    Their is no option for minus stars. The service it he worst and the worst is Leslie. Once I came up and asked to change my order. " She like where the receipt " the order was wrong and served me bowl with a bit noodles and Broth with meat. Under cooked. The man who es concerned with his own issue Irving. Didn't care. After she went ahead and changed my order she walked from behind The counter to the throw out the incorrect order. Showing he disdain and not giving proper customer service. I would never return. I hope they close this store. Never. Recommending or coming back !

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Chicken Bowl with Drink

    Stopped off for lunch at this Yoshinoya on Wednesday afternoon. Placed an app order but stay in the restaurant for the meal. Place looked clean and not busy at all. There was only a male worker doing both the drive thru and front register. I asked for my order, which was ready, but it was missing my drink. I asked the guy for my drink and he snapped back inquiring if I had actually ordered a drink. I showed him the receipt and he looked at it twice before giving me a cup. Food looked okay. I guess it's been such a long time but the portion has gotten so small. A bowl use to fill me up but today it left me still feeling hungry. Although, the food taste the same as I remember, it's not worth the price anymore.

    Beef juice for an extra larger order of original beef...

    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 came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia!

The fruit sandos are good if that's your thing. I always find them to be too rich with all the cream and this place was no exception. I've tried all the savory sandos on the menu though, and they're solid. You really can't go wrong. The bobas are pretty good but don't compete with the elite boba shops like 3cat or momofuku. The corn hojicha is what I liked the most out of everything I've tried. Finally, service is average to above average. The person behind the register is usually a disinterested teenagers or 20-something employee but an older guy in the back, presumably a manager, tries hard to accommodate customer requests. So hats off to him.
