I love yoshinoya. The food is always delicious. Ive been here a couple of times and the service has always been super friendly. The ambiance is nice because there is also a boba time next to it. I love their food their combo bowl always hits good. Especially when you eat it with ginger and red pepper. read more

When my husband arrived to pick up the order, he requested additional ginger (five total, which is our usual preference). He was provided three and was informed that no more could be given. He also noted that the staff member appeared frustrated or disengaged during the interaction. I feel it's worth noting that positive customer interactions are vital to maintaining customer trust and continued support. Small instances of unsatisfactory service can unfortunately leave a lasting impression. This was the first time I had a negative experience. I hope the employee reads this and changes her attitude. Overall the atmosphere is always good especially because there's a boba place next door :) read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Large Gyudon Beef with Veggies - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

I grew up eating Beef Bowl. I love the Combo Bowl. They have fast friendly service. My food was made to order. And the food was delicious

33 minutes ago New I ordered a combo XL with skinless teriyaki chicken and teriyaki ribeye (which both cost extra) and the chicken has skin on it, for an XL combo there was only one chicken breast cut up. For what it costs this is completely unacceptable. It's hit or miss with the people back there cooking. read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Not good is bad - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

The plates are very small and looks like you count the pieces of chicken you put on a plate. And is very expensive for that little portion,

Sooo delicious! This location makes the food so tasty! The food is super fresh, sizzling off the griddle and seasoned just right! Also, they have the friendliest staff and best customer service! I just found out that you can replace white rice for brown rice, and you can ask for less rice and more veggies to make the meal healthier! I love this place! read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Ask for brown rice, ginger, green onions and crushed red pepper. Sooo goood! - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

RUTH is an absolute ROCKSTAR!!! God bless this woman, the quality of service she delivers, her attention to detail and her positive attitude really make her stand out. She's out here genuinely making people happy and handles customers with respect. 5/5 stars!!! read more

Orange chicken was good, Noodles, very good, not the ordinary spaghetti noodles, thicker with texture and delish flavor. Not too long a wait to order at the counter at lunch time. Tables to sit inside. This is next to spectrum read more

The food is very flavorful, you get a good amount for your buck, I do wish there were other options or sides but this ain't panda... ha.

I love coming here with my family, we love the salmon bowl and teriyaki bowl, and the staff is friendly but I recommend taking your food to go because it's not a place to enjoy your food because the inside is not quite appealing and sometimes the table area is messy. read more

chicken bowls were cold. The only thing hot was the rice order four spring rolls spring rolls were cold in the inside the manager and the manager got an attitude. read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

I was made to wait 20 mins for my order, instead of letting me know why Karla just went to the back and ignored me standing at the counter another 5 mins until I spoke up. That when they told me they gave my order away... 25 Mins after I ordered. Terrible service everyone was too busy laughing and chitchatting in the back. read more

I all decided to have Lunch on Monday for a Regular Beef Bowl. The plaquered sign stated $7.39. However my receipt stated $8.64 and the total was $9.46. I questioned the cashier and she stated, "it's your tax". I questioned her once again, she stated, " you pay extra for beef". My complaint is price inflation and Price Gouging. A regular beef bowl wirh plain white rice and No veggies or added meat is ridiculously priced for the consumers. I will say Customers Beware. Do Not buy from Yoshinoya. They have poor Customer Service and Price Inflation during the Covid 19 crisis. read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Here is my receipt - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

I love this place. I used to go there so often before COVID they would greet me by name (which for me it makes me feel welcomed and cared for) and even know my order and start preparing it before I even stepped up to the register! Now, I don't go quite as much anymore just because (no reason in particular), but even still some of the same employees still remember me and treat me great! Food is delicious too, always cooked to order and still warm even after the drive home! read more

I'm originally from Northern California and I don't believe we have this chain of Japanese restaurants available. It seems a lot like similar to something like panda express but it's more focused on Japanese flavors. The reason I was cited to eat here was because they were advertising orange chicken, but unfortunately he did not live up to panda express standards. But the beef original flavor was really delicious. I would definitely come back here to try the teriyaki chicken and also get the beef original flavor again. read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Original beef and orange chicken with a side of coleslaw and spring rolls - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

Yoshinoya is hands-down one of my favorite Semi-fast food establishments. I have probably eaten at 20+ individual locations. This location by far is the worst. My standard order, everywhere, is a "large beef bowl, double meat, no vegetable". Not only did I have to repeat my order three times, only to be told they call that a "combo with two portions of meat" here, they added vegetables anyway until I caught her and said don't add the vegetables. (Sorry for the run-on sentence) However, when I got my order, it was a Standard Large Beef Bowl with the Standard Single portion of Beef, even though I paid more for the combo. I asked her to verify that this was what she meant to give me, and she said "oh yes because we actually measure our portions here". Suffice it to say I did not appreciate the sarcasm. I also find this a very weak explanation as at the 20+ other locations, where I ordered the exact same thing, a double (not extra) portion of meat, I get a double portion. In any case, not wanting to deal with it and not wishing to go anyplace else I spent an extra $6 to get a side of beef to bring it up to the Double that I should've gotten in the first place (as I paid for it upfront). Bottom line, I will not be returning to this location. This is obviously not the fault of the Frontline staff, their sarcasm aside... However the fault of the owner and or the general manager who is decided to cheat the customers you come into this location by giving them substandard portions as compared to the vast majority of other Yoshinoya locations. read more

This location is so nice. It's clean and open. Everything looks like it is organized. The salmon they made was really good and a decent portion size.

Let me start by saying that I have been a yoshinoya customer for over 20 years, and today I received the worst service ever from the Lancaster location by VERONICA. I spent purchased 6 plates of food costing me nearly $60. I handed this girl my debit card and instead of her handing it back to me she slid it to me along with a pin and receipts to sign. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reach the counter to pick up my card nor the items she was shoving towards me. I asked her if she had a problem handing people things and she asked me "what does that mean" , clearly she can't comprehend. When I told her to hand me my debit card back to my hand her attitude grew nastier, the pen she provided didn't work and she pushed a permanent marker towards me and by this time I just want a refund. I asked her for her name and she says "why" I asked her again and she again said "why" so then I asked where her name tag was and she finally told me her name, VERONICA. I asked for the manager and she quickly tried to tell him what happened, but at this time I'm upset and told her that if she wanted to tell her manager what was going on then she should have called for him, being that I'm the customer being mistreated I'll let him know what's going on. The other employees apologized for her, but I will never eat at any Yoshinoya again. I will not patronize a company that employs people that have horrible customer service. The sweet chilli shrimp was mushy and disgusting. Everything else was okay, but due to the experience I encountered this company gets a 1 star , I wish I could give it ZERO. I do not recommend this location. read more

Yoshinoya Lancaster - Japanese Near Me - Lancaster, California

Today I had a coupon for two combination bowls for $11.00. My cashier said that I had to pay $1.50 extra if I wanted "beef" as depicted on the coupon. I paid the extra for one bowl with beef, and ordered the other with orange and teriyaki chicken. When I opened them at home, both had orange and teriyaki chicken. There wasn't any beef which I paid addition for. I'm disappointed that the coupon didn't state that an additional $1.50 was required to get the beef as portrayed on the coupon, but above all, I was disappointed when I didn't get what I paid for.

Meh... Portions are small and lack flavor. Just your basic Yoshinoya. They generally get my order wrong. I stopped going there.

I have very fond memories of Yoshinoya from when I lived in Japan. This ubiquitous little fast food joint, is equally popular with "salarymen" and college kids alike. It is a standard fare of Japanese style donburi bowls consisting of your choice of chicken terriyaki, beef terryiaki, or steamed vegetables over a bed of Japanese sticky rice. Yoshinoya is the largest chain of beef bowl (or gydon) restaurants and one of the Japanese chains of fast food, which was established in Japan in 1899. Its motto is "Tasty, low-priced, and quick". The founder of the company, Eikichi Matsuda, was from the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture, and there is a predominant belief that it is the origin of the name, and the letter (ya) means "house." The letter (yoshi) means "good fortune" and (no) means "field." You can also order yaki-udon noodles if you're not feeling like a rice bowl. They also have the standard side dishes of miso soup, Gyoza, and several other Japanese goodies. I find the new Lancaster location to be quite adequate. The service is fast and friendly, the food is fresh, and I enjoyed every tasty mouthful. If you go, don't expect anything fancy. This is Japanese fast food at its most basic. THEY DO NOT PRETEND TO BE FANCY, SO DO NOT GO IN THERE THINKING YOU WILL GET FANCY FOOD! It is simple, and fast, and good. All those things busy Japanese people on the go love! read more

The food is always amazing, store is always clean, and the music provides a great ambiance while eating. The highlight, however, is the service that i receive from Kiana. She is always exceedingly friendly, welcoming, and productive in getting my food out super fast. Every time i've come in while she's here, i leave with the biggest smile on my face. She even remembers my name! She deserves a raise, a promotion, and everything in between. read more

Food always taste better with great customer service, unfortunately this time i received horrible service from Elvira! Almost left. Very rude and nasty read more

Far exceeded my expectations of what the level of quality way out in here in this neck of the woods. After living in Japan for 5 years and been disappointed by the store on Pico Blvd, I wasn't expecting much. The service was speedy and the gyudon tasted exactly how I remembered. The American menu was a little weird for me (where's the raw egg and miso soup? j/k). I would def recommend and repeat. read more

First time here, just trying something new. Food was good, but the customer service from Ruth, was great. Super friendly and helpful.
