Usually its really good at this spot but today I got less chicken.. but maybe next time will be better.

I only did the drive-thru but they were nice and gave me everything I asked for it.

Food is good! The coupons they regularly have make it a great place to go and know you can feed your family healthy food on a budget. Having your name on your receipt is nice touch. Making it more personal instead of just a number.

I stopped by this place today since it's near harbor UCLA. Food is delicious and I'm sure that many of you know about this place. I recommend this food for those people who don't eat salty food. Here you can ask for condiments like pickled ginger and dried chilly to season it, although food is delicious without condiments. I order the chicken bowl for my mom and the steamed rice and she enjoyed it.

Went through drive-thru at 10pm, several cars in front of me including the police (always a good sign when the cops eat someplace). I felt line moved a little slow, but tolerable. Food was hot and delicious as always. I recommend this place.

Great place for a quick bite or a dine in experience. Very well maintained and clean. Friendly employees very respectful. My favorite is the combo bowl. Beef and chicken over rice with teriyaki sauce and vegetables. And a bowl of clam chowder with a flan for desert and a Dr Pepper. Nice to treat yourself.

Stopped for lunch, a nice place and every location has been great. Tokyo Chicken is the best for my liking.

Dining room was clean and employees were friendly. Prices are great if you have a coupon. Their tilapia is pretty good, as is the classic beef bowl, although I prefer more onions. My family enjoys the orange chicken, too. And their vegetables taste better than Waba and Flame Broiler, plus Yoshinoya does not charge extra for brown rice.

I haven’t seen a Japanese fast food place and I really just wanted a Japanese style beef and rice bowl and they had exactly what I wanted. Reminded me of living in Japan. I hope they do well because I’m tired of only hamburger fast food restaurants.

This is one of the best Yoghinoyas that I have found. It was built to be a Yoshinoya and is nice and clean. The food has always been top notch as well as the service. The staff has always been pleasant and efficient. I love this location. I go further past other Yoshinoyas to this location because it is so much better. How about a Yoshinoya in San Pedro? None close by. Keep up the great work. I love your food. Odan noodles with teriyaki steak are my new favorites yumm! This location accepts EBT.

Customer service is good. This place isc very clean. Tje only thing I did not like was the price. I paid $11.04 for a Combo Bowl with beef and chicken and a small drink. The food was good, but I still think I paid too much. I

It’s 5:28pm today went by drive thrue and wow super impressed by the young African American lady she was so polite and nice and friendly and very professional today is November 9th 2025 give her a raise

A delicious restaurant with endless aftertaste

A long standing food establishment with a modern twist. Go through the Drive-Thru to experience impressive AI technology taking your order. Some minor hiccups with the system but the food is still great for the price.

The service at this location is spotty, at best. When last I visited, the gentleman in front of me in line told me he had been waiting for half his lunch break for the lackadaisical counter person to serve just 3 customers in front of him. I, too, experienced the same long wait while the counter person discussed a previous customer complaint over and over with her coworkers. After I finally received my meal, I was treated to having to listen to her discuss this situation with someone else on her cell phone in the dining room at a rude volume.

I had a. great experience at the Yoshinoya of restaurants. When I arrived there, I was hungry. I went to the front and looked at their menu. They had various selections of Japanese foods. I didn't know what to order the foods. One young man helped me to choose the food. He was friendly & attentive. He was helping me select the food. I ordered the Teriyaki Salmon & Tokyo Fried Chicken with sauce and chocolate chip cookies. Their service was pretty fast. I only waited for 15 minutes. When I came home, I tried the foods. All of the foods were tasty & and delicious. I really enjoyed their goods. If you like Asianfoods, I would like to recommend The Japanese "Yoshinoya" restaurant.

Food was definitely A one!! Fresh and hot with great customer service I definitely will be coming back thank u so much for correcting my order!!

Their drive thru is Ai and really accurate for taking your order. Pretty cool. Food is great

The foods is always good here. It's a simple clean rice bowl with a handful of different proteins to put on top. All of the staff that have helped us has always been extremely kind and helpful. Jayda, in particular, has been one of the best customer service representatives I've encountered there. Thank you for your services to our community!

I always like Teriyaki Chicken so I wanted to try Yoshnoya fast-food restaurant in Carson. I went to the drive-thru and there weren't many cars. I had a coupon, and I used the coupon. I ordered two of the Teriyaki Chicken Bowls. They had fast services. I got my order within 15 minutes. Yoshioka always sent coupons by mail, so I wanted to use my coupon. The coupon offered , if you buy one Chicken Bowl, you would get the second one free. This was a good deal. Therefore I used my coupon. After I came home, I tried the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. The chicken was all white meat and it was tender and juicy. Then, it was served with white rice and mixed vegetables. I ordered the teriyaki sauce on the side. The sauce was sweet & yammy. It was amazing and tasty food. I loved their Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. I would like to recommend the Yoshnoya restaurant to people I really enjoyed the food and their fast services

Good food and even better service. Yoshinoya never seems to disappoint but this spot particularly stands out to me.

Gentleman working on 11/16 at 10 PM provided excellent customer service.

Sonja Rodriguez Aguilar

Food was great, employees were very friendly, a thank you and enjoy your day was given as we left .

renee Johnson

The customer service was outstanding the young lady at the drive through window was so polite and kind. Her demeanor was so professional. I wish I had gotten her name so the manager could give her a raise. It's employees like her that make customers drive a little further just to be treated with kindness and respect. Lus the food was very fresh and tasty.

Jesenia Cordova

I am writing to commend Catherine for the great service she provided at the drive-thru window. She was super helpful and very pleasant. In a world where great customer service can be rare, her assistance was truly refreshing.

Katrina Villanueva

Recommended: the beef and chicken special in the same box as some steamed vegetables and white rice. Also, the boba with juice is good!

Cathleen Lovette

Quality, nutritious, delicious "fast" food. Since, I rarely eat large meals, I ordered the "child's plate," which consisted of teriyaki chicken, steamed rice, broccoli vegetables, also a cookie and a drink. All for $10.00 "Perfect!"

R Hop

Very interesting and delicious Japanese fast food, check out the fried chicken and beef. Xl portion size was very generous I’ll try a bit smaller next time.

Kristiny Mireny

I love this place so much!!!Its actually my favorite fast food here in us.Its so clean and very friendly staff.I particularly love the one at sepulveda.very helpful staff and always smiling. my favorite food was the teriyaki bowl and omg the clam chowder a must try when you visit.my hubby loves the original beef with extra sauce on the side the chili powder and the unlimited pickled ginger.

Place was very neat and clean. Staff VERY helpful and courteous far different than the shops closer to the "City". Will definitely go back.

When I ask for steak, I want to see steak. If I ask for shrimp, I want to see shrimp. Today, I asked for the new orange chicken but what did I get? Well, order it, cut it in half and see for yourself. Not a trace of actual chicken but instead just fried flour balls in orange chicken sauce for flavoring.

Yoshinoya is a good Restaurants to eat at. It has good Food 🍞 & Great Deals. Buy one, get one Free. But, it would be nice to get more chicken then only 4 little cut piece the next time. Thank you.

One of the better locations to stop and grab this cuisine... Very courteous service and good portions and taste... Not dried out or bland like some locations and the veggies are firm but cooked well...

I like the place and food and have had lunch once per month for 15 to 20 years. However, today's Teriyaki chicken and new beef were very bad. Both were overcooked and burned.

Really enjoyed the gyoza! Bought some to share with dispatch and they liked it also. Kudos and thanks to the young man taking my order AND helping me take it to my car!!

For awhile this location was super slow for some reason. And at times even the drive-thru is slower than just walking inside. However the food is the reason to come here. Props for Yoshinoya trying out new foods but I'll stick with the originals like the Beef Bowl, Chicken Bowl, and Combo Bowl (original beef and teriyaki chicken). Do like how they removed that slimey mucus from the vegetables. Dont like the green onion on the chicken. It's like they're trying to copy WabaGrill. Also don't like the bigger plate size. The meats are the same portions except now it's got a heck of lot more rice.

I got the steak bowl with only Japanese noodles mixed on but that was an upgrade. No drink. The container is smaller then it used to be so with no coupon paying $15.94 or .64 kinda surprised my wallet & me but it actually filled me up & tasted good. I drove thru the partially blocked drive thru entrance when no one spoke to me on the speaker phone. I parked, went inside & got my order quickly. I did notice how the cashier was helping another customer bending over backwards to make their small bowl of veggies be to his liking. I think this already was a replacement bowl & the fella wanted teriyaki sauce or something similar on it. The workers were very accomidating. I will return to this location.

I don't understand the name of the restaurant though. It sounds Japanese but no Japanese food. Looks like American food to me. Anyway, food was not too bad. Looks like most fast food now are being copy cat. Choose your main dish, whether a small, medium,or large bowl, pick your protein then combo or not. Which is not too bad. Faster serving though. Otherwise, good job. Yoshinoya!

Great coupon deals available. Best way to try the new items on the menu. Aug 2022 - no coupons and they modified their menu. They think they simplified it, I bet. My order was screwed up anyway.

I've never had a problem with the food here, as it's great. But I like to order the gyudon beef bowl/plate on the app, and when I come in to pick it up, I ask for vegetables on the side. It does not offer it on the app! Sometimes the employees get mad about me asking for vegetables, and insist it's an option on the app, when it's NOT. lol (edit: now it's an option on the app THANK GOD 🤣)

The food is fresh 🔥 hot, but they are not giving a good portion for the price !

Ordered combo beef and chicken plate. Very fresh and tasty for fast food at 9pm. Hard to find places open after 9pm in Carson. The spring rolls were also good. Will come again.

Quick in the Drive-Thru. My order was correct. The food was okay and the worker was polite. Free sauce on the side unlike other fast food places that charge you extra. I'd eat here again and I would recommend it. Japanese food is different from Chinese food and I love the difference 😋

Friendly service and quick even short staffed.

Great interior and exterior yoshinoya. It entertains me how cool it is, with old Japanese decorations. It was also one of the cleanest yoshinoya. Their food is good and fresh. I’m a fan of yoshinoya and this is my new favorite place.

Shaneshia Jeffrey

Great customer service even though it was a long wait great fresh food as well so it was worth the wait lol

Food was kind of bland. Parking is ample. Entire shopping center was dark at night, should be better lit for safety reasons. Yoshinoya franchise has been losing on the taste battle, I think. Tried the new menu item "Habanero Chicken" sadly disappointed with the taste.

I expected much more. I guess it is fast food Japanese. Large amounts of filler like rice with below average taste. Service seemed bothered by my presence. Took a while to come to the counter.

Americans thought of Chinese food! The food is prepared to order, but is bland. You must spice your food to your liking. Good price and good portions.

I have only ordered via doordash here a few times, the first time the plate was covered in some kind of lard so was the pepsi bottle, the second time the order was ok , but I see no way while ordering via door dash to ask for condiments like red pepper or soy sauce and they do not include any, some times I try my luck by asking the dasher, but this is Yoshinoyas problem not door dash , YOSHINOYA please allow this while ordering or at the very least include them in every order!!

Took my order thru the drive thru and the wait time was double the time it normally takes. I came home and was missing my veggies. This is not the first time cause I like eating at this establishment but if I have to check my bag each and every time I just want to pick up my order and then get home and find that there is always something missing. Especially since I like to buddle it and add a side then they forget my dessert. Such a disappointment

Busy during lunchtime on Friday. It’s really convenient to use the app to order and pay ahead. Service is nice and friendly. Plenty of parking in the lot. Food tasted nice and tasty, although my mother thought it was a bit too sweet.

The service is ok but it seems like the quality of there food is going down. You want to know what I really hate is the places that have a picture of their food and it looks so good but when you get your order it looks nothing like the picture. All of these fast food places are way over priced and they actually have the nerve to raise their prices and downsize on their food. Double dipping should have a stuff fine for these companies.

Steven Gao

All employees are look not happy when they took order and give the orders. Very poor customer service skills.

Ordered a beef w/veggie bowl. The bowl was all rice with a small layer of beef strips and a scoop of veggies. I really expected more meat and maybe a half a bowl of rice rather than a full bowl of rice for $8.

Not the usual great flavor on the beef plate.tge amount of sauted Onions where missing and dry today. Cashier forgot my cheese cake too. Sad

Reason I rate them 2 stars is because of the drive through. Each time I stop by its the longest waiting time period. Other than that customer service is good. They just need to speed it up.

Ordered a two item combo and got home to only one item in my plate! & for the small bowl they only gave like 3 pieces of chicken

Beef gyudon tastes good but serving is regular tho we ordered large. Gyoza is served warm not hot off the pan. You may not enjoy it. I don't recommend ordering boba milk tea bec it's different from the picture. Meaning, only 3/4 full and only a few pieces of boba which you can hardly notice.Frustrating really for first time customers. Not returning there.

Will you change your hours to the appropriate time that you're serving food. It says 1am but last week you say you ran out of rice but still serving online orders only. Today you say you're closed for the night and it's 11pm when i got there. I like the food but I'm wasting time going to your location while I could have gone to other Yoshinoyas on my way home.

Food was good but the cashier in drive thru today around 3ish pm was not a people-friendly person and quite rude for the drive thru. Kept touching her fake lashes and scratched her head like nothing while closing a lid. My friend is picky and she didn't drink her drink.

I love Yoshinoya, but the Carson location is by far the worst. I did drive through and it took FOREVER, all of my lunch time, and the frosting with thr cherry on top is the poor customer service. While waiting, not once did anyone come to the window and explain or excuse the long wait time. I would have given that location a one 🌟, but the food was good, so I rated them a two 🌟.

The food is horrible the people serve there look dirty my god I came in today and bough spring rolls not good inside not vegetables not meat noodle have no cabbage and hard not soft claim chowder no claim there at all.. Horrible place!!!

thwy dont even have the full size regular white bowls. the bowls were hald the size, generic black bowl with clear top. the food was old. ery disappointing experience. the spring roles were decent. that's about it. noodles were old and didn't even heat the old noodles up. never again.

Alfonso Alvarado Jr

Honestly, the portions are so small. The big box combo used to fill me up and I had leftovers now I finished it and I’m still hungry out. Only four pieces of chicken and four pieces of meat with a bunch of rice Honestly, not worth the money anymore

Gina Marie

I ordered from the new sides. Korean fried chicken and a side of sweet and spicy veggies. Fried Chicken comes with dipping sauce. Which, wasn't in the bag. Very frustrating when your working and can't go back. Also, the Korean fried chicken wasn't fresh. On top of that I asked for a large water and they gave me a tiny cup. It's hot outside would've been nice would've paid a 1 for a cup. Do better Yoshi oya, Carson.

Martin Rodriguez

This place use to served great food and a good amount. Today I received two bowls of chicken that seemed to be a kids meal size. And I even asked how much for extra chicken, the cost for extra chicken $5 with change. No way am I paying that for another little bit of chicken. Keep in mind the amount of chicken on the bowls are the size of a drumstick only. No thanks, not coming here again.

There lucky to get one star!! I love yoshinoya from years past, but when they try to cut down on the chicken to make one in to two.... no chicken!! He'll yes.... no more maybe it's just this yoshinoya!??????? Don't go there!!! Or don't go to any yoshinoya.......!!!!! Eat at your own Risk...... 😎

We waited long to order and long for our food just to get home and be disappointed. The food so disappointing. Definitely won't be going back

I went to this yoshinoya, the service is slow compared to other yoshinoya, and when I received my food they practically gave me half of my order, I know that in all yoshinoya they have the same measure but apparently this one likes to save food, no I would return to this place.

I came in for the first time and ordered a combo bowl. Upon receiving my bowl it looked poorly made and didn't display the same image as the one Yoshinoya has displayed behind the counter. I saw the gentleman/cook put the beef (which looked like a generous portion ) and he later went on to grab his tongs and remove it. I wish Yoshinoya can deliver a product like the one they have announce on the menu display.

Manager took order over drive thru, completely rude. Got a simple order all wrong and had no apology. Incomprehensible how one can be successful with the poor service offered at this location.

That was the worst Yoshinoya regular beef bowl I've ever had. The beef was actually bland and it was about 3 times thicker than every other Yoshi beef bowl I've ever had. Also they were stingy with the sauce packs. I ended up just tossing about ¾ of the beef and just eating about ⅔ of the bland white rice with too little soy sauce.

I will never bought again here, the quality of the food sometimes is expired, twice the chicken smell so bad, you have to pay attention. and the portion they give you is very little, does not deserve to be a yoshinoya.

I stop by the drive-through ! Service not that good ! Very slow ! I bought the strawberry green tea, Boba ! And it taste like water ! I don’t recommend it poor quality Boba !

Don't order from this place at all! They discriminate against people who can't wear mask due to health issues. It doesn't matter you show them doctor's note. They are not well informed and trained at all!

Wait was way too long, only to receive mediocre food. Orange chicken definitely not what I expected and shrimp was weird and soggy. Sorry won't be going back

I seriously can't believe I just wasted almost an hour of my life here. The staff do not listen, and apparently white rice is vegetables now. They do not listen to your order, and we had to repeat it almost 5 times. Between 4 staff members, they still could not figure out how to split an order in half. This place is atrocious and I would highly recommend anywhere but here.

Don't come here late night. They have trouble keeping staff so it's always someone new. Tonight they decided they ran out of food completely and denied us service an hour before closing. They need a change in management or this place will turn into a starbucks.

I usually love Yoshinoya at ALL OTHER locations . The service and cleanliness at this location is always TERRIBLE 😔. They rang up a 2 meal combination , on the wrong coupon , then finally rang up the right coupon , but refused to credit my EBT for the first order . Then lied , said that they don't credit EBT , and lied again , and said my EBT wasn't charged . So , I called EBT , and they said all 4 meals were charged . I informed the manager , I was charged for All 4 meal's , and wanted a credit , or my 4 meal's . They refused to give me my food , and stole the last of my food stamp money for the month , and even stole my food I paid for . This restaurant is Always so dirty , and the employees are Always so rude and disrespectful, I will NEVER eat at YOSHINOYA Again . YOSHINOYA - " Carson " ; " World's Worst Restaurant " ❗😡👎👎

Ordered through drive through. The girl who took the order had no patience and was extremely rude. We drove up to the window, and wanted to clarify the order; same girl(pic attached)continued being rude and inpatient like she didnt want to be there. We paid and got the receipt(pic attached), the receipt looks ridiculous. We waited almost 10 minutes for our food, doesn't make sense. It's a fast food restaurant and there was no one in the store. We looking inside the window and discovered the sam girl was too busy talking to whoever working in the back.

Horrible. Vegetables and rice over heated over cooked probably just sitting for hours in heat. They barely put any meat in my beef bowl. I ordered a beef bowl! Not an over cooked vegetable bowl with a hint of beef. This is my last time coming to this location ever and I'm here to warn others.. stay away!

This location’s drive thru has a terrible ai order taker. I tried to order lunch and it couldn’t understand what I wanted. So I drove to the window and waited to order. When they finally came to the window they refused to take my order. The woman said that she won’t take my order and that if I want to order I’ll have to come inside. I’ve ordered at the window before, but this individual kept refusing. My lunch is short and don’t have time to go inside, so I’m not going back anymore.

It says drive thru closes at 1am I was there at 10:30pm waited 4min to get someone to talk to me there was 0 cars in the drive thru a car behind me didn’t want to wait and left and when I went to order the employee just says over the speaker all we have is beef and brown rice with a tone. Why even stay open so late then close the place or get better employees that are willing to work.

Yoseph Dardon

I thought maybe it was an oversight the first time. I specifically asked both times to not have onions with my beef bowl, both times I get home to discover they ignored the request and actually there were a ton of onions. If the request isn't going to be honored let me know when I request it, but to just not do it because its a drive thru order and they probably won't be going inside to complain is ridiculous.

paul castillo

not good the Filipino guy act as he is the owner yelling to employees in front of the customers. so disgusting..

Min Hyun Ryu

They close door 10pm.. I know yoshinoya always open until end.. (dine in) but they look like close door fast because they don't want work..? Im not sure.. they put all order drive thru..

Ramon Chito Dacumos

Ordered thru mobile app and picked it up. Got white rice instead of brown in all.my orders. Too late to check when I got home. Also, even if you ask for condiments like ginger, soy sauce, chili thru mobile app, you still need to request for it when you get in the counter.

Dudz Cervantes

The clam chowder that I love now is totally different compared from before, like the soup is water, the taste 😰😰.. if you always goes to Yoshinoya you know how clam chowder look and taste like 😭😭😭

Tatiana Taylor

I don’t think they understand the meaning of fast food, because they were super slow. Today at 7:16pm I came inside to order instead of wait in the drive thru, however I was never greeted as I stood at the cash register and even when a worker came to scan his finger at the register he failed to even say “hi, I’ll be with you in just a moment”. I left and went across the street to El Pollo Loco
