I had the teriyaki beef bowl instead of rice. I decided to have the noodles. Which was very good and I would have it again but the next time it would be with rice. We also have a soda and egg roll, I wasn't fond of the egg roll. Service was very nice and friendly, and they even served us the food at the table. read more

Yoshi's - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ooooo this location is so clutch. The food is very flavorful and gives a true nostalgic teriyaki taste. I got my bowl with half rice half noodle, great amount of sauce, not dry at all! Only thing is if there were 2 or more cars in the drive thru line, I wouldn't wait. They take a little longer than another usual fast food spot, so you have to have patience if you want to eat this. Still good for quick teriyaki read more

Not as good a meal this time. They put way too much teriyaki sauce on the chicken and rice. The salad was just lettuce and someof the chicken wasn't the best quality. read more

Was hungry and was near by so I thought I give it a try. I was told dragon bowl was good. Ordered Viva Caliente because it looked better and I was told my worker that it also has vegitables. Lame... Literally teriyaki chicken with dash of Siracha sauce, green onion and cilantro. Chicken was OK bowl itself was just OK. Nothing special nothing made me go yumm. I'm so glad I walked across the parking lot to eat here. I miss the days of Tokyo Express. I was also disappointed the picture of the bowl did not look anything like what I got. $9.44 for a small bowl, left hungry and disappointed. Definitely would not make the journey back here. read more

I go here about once a week. Yoshi's offers delicious Japanese fast food for a great price. It's healthier than other fast food options and it's nice to support a local chain. The founder is from Japan and they've been a valley favorite for over 30 years. The $5.49 Teriyaki chicken bowl every afternoon is a great deal. read more

I came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and got a curry bowl, which was great. I was in the area again and got to the restaurant about 45 minutes before they closed and they locked the gates so you couldn't get in. Meaning the only way you could order was to do the drive-through. I was a little confused because I'm here around the same time as my son's practice which is nearby and I was here at the same time the last time I ate? Very confusing hours, excessively long drive thru wait times an hour before closing. Maybe the manager left early and the mice decided to play while the cat was away. Either way, a disappointing experience that turned me off from going out of my way to come back. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I tried their chicken yakisoba & the chicken teriyaki combo. The egg roll was mushy inside and had no flavor. The chicken has a charbroiled flavor but their teriyaki sauce lacked any flavor. The food was at least edible but not much more than that. I did not enjoy anything about this place, even their soda tasted flat. Service was fast and friendly and can't say much about the ambiance because I went through the drive-thru. Can't say I'd ever go back again or recommend this. read more

This place is FIRE. I tried the teriyaki with white rice + eggroll combo. Everything was delicious. Quick and easy to order, too. Really underrated place if you want to satisfy your Asian food cravings. read more

We were in the area of Cave Creek Road and Cactus Road. I wanted to eat and spotted Yoshi's right on the northwest corner, so I decided to swing by their drive through. I usually order their teriyaki chicken but this time I ordered the teriyaki beef with vegetables. My wife ordered her usual the teriyaki chicken with vegetables. Yoshi's is one of those places to get a quick meal and it is very filling, plus have other dishes to your liking. This one spot is not easy to get to as the only exit is onto Cactus Road. Does make it difficult if you're not headed that direction. Food is decent and they do have large orders, we just ordered the regular bowl. They do charge extra for the vegetables. Good on a quick meal. read more

Super Quick! You can call & order ahead or use an app / website. They totally look out for Veterans & offer a Military / First Responder Discount. Food is excellent! read more

Honestly I want to give this place zero stars if I could sushi tasted nasty soda tasted disgusting like the don't clean the nozzles I got crab puffs and they were undercooked the breading all in all horrible experience the only thing I enjoyed was the service given to me in drive thru cashier was polite but they need to step it up food wise also found a hair inside the crab puff that's absolutely disgusting and I almost chipped my tooth on the crunchy sushi roll to that's a whole 31 dollars I could have took somewhere else and ate but I wanted to give them a try I got three sushi players that only had four sushi in each and for that price I could have gone to fry's which I should have anyways . read more

Food is always fast when going through the drive through. Great portion sizes for a fair price and it's always tasty

The teriyaki chicken bowl is delicious! The staff is always friendly and service always fast.

Driving by decided to stop. I got the Dragon Chicken. It was fantastic. I was expecting something completely different. I got a fajatia asian style rice bowl! Slpendid! Full of flavor and not to spicy. Yet, a small kick you notice but enjoyable! Yummy! Affordable and good eats! It's a yes from me! read more

good value on the happy hour menu, consistent food quality fast service go with confidence read more

For what this place is it is a 5 out of 5 for me! We lived in Japan for 12 years and Yoshi's tastes more like the casual food we used to eat than anywhere else I've tried. I mostly get the chicken katsu curry. They put sriracha on it which isn't very traditional, but it tastes great so I leave it on. Even the pork ramen is pretty close to the type of ramen we like. read more

Food is decent, not great not terrible. It seemed my son really enjoyed his teriyaki chicken and ate nearly all of it. I got an egg roll, definitely don't recommend that. Reminded me of the egg rolls they used to sell in my high school cafeteria. I'd likely not return unless getting my son something from here. Food is very affordable though. read more

I've been coming to Yoshi's for decades. I worked off of Camelback and usually went to the Yoshi's on Indian School and 24th. Now that I'm fully remote, I frequent the location on Cave Creek and Thunderbird. I usually get the curry chicken. In my humble opinion, their Japanese curry is one of the best I've had. The restaurant is nothing fancy but you get a freshly made, reasonably priced lunch or dinner entree. The Manager at the location on Cave Creek is Liz. She always has a smile on her face as she provides great customer service. read more

Not expensive. Great food. Quick drive thru. Definitely easy on the go spot. I got the Hawaiian salad and it was a great portion size! read more

Food was delicious. I had dragged my feet going to this location and upset I didn't start going sooner.

I've passed this place everyday to and from work for months and I finally got around to trying it. Yakisoba was horrible. Vegetables lacked snap and freshness. Sauce was overly sweet and lacked umami. Sushi was grocery store quality at best. The nail in the coffin was the group of people at the bus stop outside smoking meth out of a pipe. Absolutely insane. read more

The restaurant stinks of sewer gas. I noticed the stench over a month ago and wrongly assumed they would fix the problem.. I went there on November 16th and noticed the smell immediately. I told the woman at the counter and she opened the doors to air out the smell. I can't imagine anyone wanting to eat here. I don't know if the problem is a grease trap or sewer vent but it's a problem that has been neglected and needs to be fixed! read more

Not on the menu but I always just ask for a bowl of veggies with no rice, and dragon sauce. It is so delicious. Highly recommend it. The service is always great. I go to cactus & cave creek nowadays. Very friendly. Sometimes eat on the patio. read more

I believe that this would be the second location in the valley..Located in the north phoenix area, at the intersection of Cave Creek and Cactus Rd. Cannot miss this drive-thru & restaurant location. The fact that this spot has a drive-thru option is super convenient! Of course I went with the grab and go option. I had the orange chicken bowl and unsweetened ice tea. Very impressed as to how crispy and fresh the orange chicken tasted. The sauce was not overbearing, and the rice was nice and soft and not sticky! So if you are short of time and looking for tasty Asian bowl and soup cravings check out the menu and enjoy! read more

Yoshi's - Drive thru Japanese food - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Sushi is 4/10 for price, the hot noodles are amazing for the price. Haven't tried much else. Service is great!

We ordered takeout from Yoshi's for convenience as I was short on time and on the way to the airport. For a drive-thru it was a surprisingly affordable and healthy option. I had a Yakisoba chicken bowl--the chicken was cooked perfectly tender, had a delicious sauce and was served over a generous mound of noodles. The gal at the window was friendly and service was fast even though we didn't preorder online. Although the pandemic is over, I haven't been able to get a decent meal anywhere for under $15 but Yoshi's decided to be a standout and deliver on this, being half the cost of a restaurant meal but will all the flavor. read more

So I'm furious, but I expected something to be wrong with my food when I went to pay with Apple Pay and she handed me a receipt and asked me to sign! On that receipt there was this place to give a tip and I didn't because it was the drive-through and you could see her animosity automatically! Halfway through my teriyaki, chicken plate I bite into a chicken bone I'm furious with this chicken bone. Thank God I did not crack my tooth!! I'm just making my own food from now on I'm sick and tired of these companies, harassing us for tips for the littlest things like handing me my food through the window. i'm not trying to sound cheap because I definitely tip if I'm sitting down on the restaurant but I'm not doing it through a drive-through and we shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable. read more

Been here for years now, food is great and affordable and best of all it's quick. Great for a lunch break or just lunch In general. Everyone here is amazing and I've been met with kindness every time I stop by. read more

Worst chicken katsu ever. They gave me soggy chicken with curry sauce on top. Is not chicken katsu. Tried getting a small side of sauce and they tried charging me 4 dollars. Horrible place read more

I have been eating at Yoshi's on Indian School and Central since the early 1990's when I worked downtown. I loved that place. I was so happy when I discovered Yoshi's had opened a location at Cave Creek and Thunderbird near my home. Unfortunately this has turned out to be the poorest run restaurant in the chain. I have tried this location 7 times, and each time my order has been wrong! The first time I ordered 2 bowls and 2 side salads. We got home with no salads. Okay, so sometimes things get forgotten, right? The next time, I ordered a side a chili powder and sesame seeds with my meal. When I got to the window, neither was in the bag. Upon inquiry, the cashier told me they don't don't have those condiments. Hmmmm, since when? On another visit, my daughter ordered a teriyaki bowl with extra sauce. She wasn't charged for extra sauce, nor was there a side of sauce in the bag, however her bowl was filled full of sauce: it was a teriyaki soup; grossly unedible. Last week we ordered 2 bowls, 1 side salad and 1 crab puff order. We got home with our order, instead of salad we were given steamed vegtables. Again, our order was wrong. Tonight, we tried one more time. Same order, same cashier. I asked the cashier if she got all of my order since she didn't confirm our order. she didn't respind, so I repeated it. She didn't acknowlege my order or repeat it back, just kept saying, anything else? When we got home with our order, we discovered it was missing items again! We were charged for crab puffs, but we did not receive them. I decided to call and speak the the manager. When I asked to speak to a manager, the girl who answered gave the phone to a man who kept saying "Bueno? Bueno? I can't hear you, I can't hear you. I repeatedly asked for his name, which he would not give me, instead was holding a cobversation with someone in the background. I gave up trying to resolve this ongoing issue with the restaurant. Their company website only gives the store phone number, no access to their corporate office or management. To Yoshi's Management: please do something about the staff at that location. Train them again and teach them what a work ethic and customer service is; get rid of the poor performing employees and management and replace them with people with good customer service skills and work ethic; or close that location all together. That location is a poor reflection of your company. So disappointed..... read more

We have been driving by this place for a while and never stopped. We have definitely been missing out. The service is fast, the food is delicious and the price is right! Don't miss out on their $3.50 happy hour teriyaki chicken rice bowl special. Right now it is all day but I believe it is normally 3 to 5 pm. I opted the pay the extra change for all white meat but it was still an incredible deal. This bowl is loaded with chicken and rice and will definitely fill you up. They even have a drive through which makes it even easier to grab and go! read more

Yoshi's really does live up to its slogan... you'll be having a "rice" day after eating there! The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, the food is great, and the portions are huge! Next time we're in Phoenix, we'll definitely be coming back (and hopefully meeting the man himself, Yoshi). read more

The girl working tonight was working hard! A drive through that wrapped around the building. Not only was she taking orders outside in drive through she was the cashier too! Great customer service and always good teriyaki! read more
