Yoshinoya Vermont — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I would give only one star except the cashiers, god bless thier souls, what they had to deal with and still give decent customer service under the circumstance.

The one star would be for whoever is the owner of this establishment, the fact that you have a business in a grimy area, and don’t hire a security guard to keep out young, aggressive, tweeked out homeless people. During my visit, two homeless guys come in a without any shame start digging in the trash for food, and making a mess, one was even yelling loud and in a threatening manner to the cashier who told him to stop digging in trash. If one of these cashiers were my wife/sister/girlfriend I would really feel worried about their safety. I’m almost sure this is a regular occurrence.

I’m not a big fan of yoshinoya anyway, I was only in there to try the Asian meatballs(which were average at best) so even if I was to visit a Yoshinoya, this one would not be it.

The only reason I’m even posting this is my hope that the manager hires a security guard before one of your cashier gets hurt. This is potentially a dangerous situation when you have homeless people who seem as if they have a propensity for violence coming into an establishment with out some type...

not much better than any other regular yoshinoya but the reason i’m giving this place 5 stars is because of the amazing cashier! while his other coworker made sure to clock out at exactly 9pm when the line was out the door and it seemed like no one else was here he literally rose to the occasion and did every job himself. that other guy left and this other dude with headphones on came out of the back and when he asked him to stay dude went to the restroom leaving him with a huge waiting line and to make and fill every single order by himself which he did with such kindness!!! shout out to this guy. he had glasses and curlyish hair and needs a raise for real. i THINK his name was ivan but not sure (not to be confused with his slacker coworker who had a random grey hat, headphones, jeans that don’t fit him, and a backwards shirt) anyway i cannot believe he keeps such a good attitude and servitude up under pressure like that with no...

I've had the most terrible visits here that I don't know where to begin. Today, I was in the area and for some odd reason I broke my promise to myself that I would not return to Yoshinoya. First off, I arrived at 915am only to find the doors locked and the store closed despite the posted hours: 8am - midnight. I could see three employees through the window who looked lost and still half asleep as they ignored the few confused people waiting to enter.

20 minutes later, I've finally got my food. The orange chicken hadn't been heated at all it seemed. It was so cold that I had to take it back. Of course, I was given attitude and they reluctantly replaced my cold food with normally-heated food.

An all around mess of a store and an all around mess of a chain.. but it's cheap, conveniently located, and accepts EBT. I sincerely hope I don't decide to be disappointed once again by...
