Yoshinoya — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I really thought it was the real authentic one like in Japan, It's really simple and small amazing menu. Orange chicken exactly same as Mc Donalds I felt like I'm eating baby food lol & The fish wasn't that great. My buddy ordered ribs and he said doesn't taste anything like ribs and the other item he bought I can't remember for him it tasted like no flavor. I would blame any ethnic food to bring their own people to cook. When I saw an American white guy cooking I said OH NO!!!! No offense, When you want something authentic, The cook need to be from that ethnicity and with experience.

So I would say if you have guests don't go there, They will not give a good impression food wise. The young lady on the front she is amazing and very welcoming.

Nothing against anyone, I criticize restaurant and a lot of people follow my lead, So if you want a quick bite for your kids get the orange chicken, they're are small balls weird but really enough portion for kids again.

Please don't take it personal, It's my opinion, And I've...

Being the only one left in town, it's hard to compare but let's give it a shot. The location itself is very clean and well maintained but that's probably not hard to do with very little foot traffic. Oddly enough one entrance/exit on the side is always closed.

Service is always very fast, polite and they have yet to make any mistakes on my orders. Online ordering is handled very well and in-store ordering is good. Can't complain about this at all.

Food pricing and portions is where it definitely loses out. It's closest competition would me teriyaki madness and for the money yoshinoya's most premium XL BOWL+BOBA+Side combo at 19.50 is much less food than Teriyaki madness best offering at about $17. Portion sizes plus cook quality has been very inconsistent on every order. My last order had burnt teriyaki chicken.

Definitely hit or miss due to this but it's only one in town so if you must have yoshinoya's, be prepared to get either very good or burnt food but definitely not...

I went with my sister-in-law we went to go get something to eat. Guy took our order. We went up to the window to pay and drive-through. He took a very long time to give us back to change. It’s like he really wanted to keep it plus. He took a very long time to get the food out he wasn’t very friendly either. And then you tried to call this place and nobody ever answers. I seen a sign that says EBT accepted I tried to call to ask for a friend that has children that likes to buy hot food with food stamps because she doesn’t have the money to treat her kids out but nobody ever answer her to ask if they get the food stamps or the...
