Yoshinoya

Thank you for supporting my study at UCSB! I'm in Texas now still missing the food and people...

Udon noodles and Tokyo fried chicken was the bomb

Very good beef bowls. The granny is so kind.

Super tasty! Large portion of food!

Andres Bianchi

Best food in UCSB!

Forrest Brewer

Best fast dining on campus, Multiple options for toppings on noodle or white or brown rice with steamed vegetables. Nice lady has run it since opening.

The older Asian lady here is so nice. I come here just to say hi. The food is what you expect from any Yoshinoya operated properly. If you don't mind the thinly sliced beef, I absolutely love their beef bowls. Large beef, no juice, extra grilled onions is the way to go!

Great food with good service! Portion size is good

Good portions and food. Also really like the manager, she’s old and friendly and tries hard to get your name right.

Good place to get a quick bite. Tasty rice bowls that you can customize.

The staff here is very friendly, like your grandma.

Too much meat, not enough rice. Also, I hope the efficiency can be improved. It takes too long every day in the line.

Costs around $8 for a regular size chicken bento (likely the cheapest option on the menu). It comes with good portion but the sauce was way too salty.

This Yoshinoya at its best makes great food. Unfortunately, the food is usually not at its best. Oftentimes the meat is tough and stringy. They rely heavily on their sauces the make up the flavor. The vegetables, especially the cabbage, are often old and discolored. I wish I could say I was surprised when they served me the sorry-looking vegetables in this picture. To be fair to this Yoshinoya, this photo shows a worse than usual result. But it is telling that they serve food with this level of visual quality without comment. It makes me wonder how quality is being overlooked in other parts of their ingredient supply and execution. 3 stars - because it will get you fed, and is one of a limited number of options in this part of UCSB's campus. But I don't advise seeking it out unless you're already on the northeast corner of UCSB.

Not good for vegetarian or vegan people at all.

Bad food and small portion, doesn't taste like yoshinoya at all
