Yoshinoya Tustin & Katella — Restaurant in Orange

Checked Google Maps at 10:15 what time this place closes. 11:00 is the time it closes. I had to hurry as it, "closes soon." Coming from the other side of Orange with only 45 minutes until close meant that waiting for the bus or a ride from a friend are options that I couldn't consider - my only viable choice of transportation that I could afford at the moment was either of the two major ride share operators in the area. Uber was 20 cents less expensive and a driver was two minutes closer to pick me up, so I ordered our ride. About 15 minutes later as we were stepping out of the ride, I looked up to check out my surroundings because the area felt like it was rather dim... My observation was confirmed when I saw the colorless silhouette of the Yoshinoya sign. The signage outside was not lit up and the lights inside were turned down low in the patron-less dining room. "Maybe the lights are on a timer and haven't come on yet," I said with uncertainty as I made my way from the car to the door of the restaurant. I reached out and grabbed the handle of the door as I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath. Pausing for a moment to try and manifest my desired outcome from trying to open that door. I pictured myself pulling open the door and being met with a rush of warm, inviting air from the inside warming my face. My slightly frozen nose and ears melted into inviting warmth of the indoors reminding me of how chilly it has been lately. The familiar scent of a meal I had been looking forward to with anticipation during the entire ride to the restaurant greating my olfactory receptors all dissipated and vanished harshly back into my imagination as my body jolted into the same position it was in just a moment earlier when my hand felt the resistance of a locked door and the sudden transference of my kinetic energy into an immoveable object. It was like accidentally running into a shut sliding glass for. All my dreams of a decent meal wiping away the hunger from my gut shattered into the harsh reality of the situation just as suddenly as my attempt to go inside to eat was thwarted by that locked door. Normally, I would be at home at this hour pondering what type of bare bones meal I could piece together from my emaciated cupboards and refrigerator. Tonight was different however because I had just gotten a little bit of extra money deposited into my Cash App from winning a little bit at this online casino I sometimes will sink a few bucks into on my lunch break. So imagine my chagrin when I realized a large portion of my winnings were just wasted on a ride to somewhere I no longer had any reason to be. With more of the winnings at risk of being lost to having to pay for the return passage from our meal uneaten and unserved. Now even though I had the extra money for the meal, I still would have to figure out how to get there. This was not the intended outcome of my trip to Yoshinoya tonight. And all of this because of what? Because the wrong hours of operation are still posted online. So while this place should be better than one star, all they are getting from me is a single star. I do not know how they can fix this in my eyes. Because that money I spent is never coming back and I doubt it's in the budget for them to replace those funds or pay for my ride at a time when they are open. So, one star. Finish...

I came to this location this past Sunday evening, and I am actually here now. The reason for my review is to praise the great service for today..and the employees. But my visit on this past Sunday was the total opposite. I came in around 9pm...a young kid was taking my order, it was a little busy and all I can hear and the other guest can hear is the gentleman in the kitchen throwing dishes around and yelling to himself. It was very uncomfortable to be sitting there waiting for my order and the guest and the other 2 employees just quiet, scared or afraid to even communicate with him. He seemed upset as if we the customer were there and that he had to do more work. He is a tall white Male with a beard, he looked out of it or sleepy..maybe on something because the way he was reacting was just so wrong and sad. I really hope your company can address this employee because coming from the restuarant business as well I was...

I went in on lunch time today, ordered my bundle it, with vegetables, well when I received it, there was no vegetables, ,then she yells out to the cook" bowl of vegetables" ! I'm like omg! In my mind of course, no apology whatsoever, then i asked for sauce for my rice, she says 65 cents, I said ,oh ok nevermind, I thought wouldn't it be like ordering fries ,and charging For ketchup? , because its not like a fancy restaurant right ? Well my 1st time At that location, never again though, btw, no name tag on the cashier, but I'm sure she knows who she is, I think ,if you don't like your job , then don't work there, Yoshinoya! these Employees are representing your business,! Come on. Make this place comfortable, Especially with the...
