Avoid Yoshinoya Before Closing – You’ve Been Warned

If you value basic decency, edible food, and being treated like a human being, do not make the mistake of ordering from this Yoshinoya anywhere near closing time. I made that unfortunate decision and was met with an experience so appalling it deserves a public service announcement.

From the moment I walked in, it was clear the staff had mentally clocked out. I was greeted with an eye-roll, not a hello. The dining area looked like a war zone—tables uncleaned, trash bins overflowing, and a general aura of "we don’t care anymore." I should have turned around right then, but foolishly I placed my order.

What followed was a masterclass in passive-aggressive indifference. My food was slapped together with the care of someone angrily quitting their job. The beef was dry, cold, and stringy like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since lunch. The rice was clumpy, and the vegetables were clearly from a batch that had given up on life hours ago. I’m not even convinced what I was served would’ve passed health inspection standards.

When I dared to ask for napkins or, god forbid, a lid for my drink, I was met with the kind of disdain you'd expect if I had insulted their ancestors. The cashier literally sighed at me—audibly sighed—for interrupting her phone scrolling.

Yoshinoya corporate needs to take a serious look at what’s happening during late-night shifts because this isn’t just “bad service”—it’s hostile negligence. I left feeling like I needed to shower, not just from the grease but from the overall grime of the experience.

Bottom line: if you see that the location is closing within the hour, do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else—even a gas station microwave burrito would be less...

If I could give this restaurant -5 stars, I would. The food? Well, what food? What they serve at this particular Yoshinoya chain is not "food"! It is disgusting inedible pieces of garbage served on a platter. Seriously this place has been serving disgusting food for years now. I do not know how in the world their chefs still haven't learned how to cook the food properly. I went there on 12/12/24, after not having eaten here and years. I ordered a combo bowl consisting of gyudon been and Tokyo fried chicken. As soon as I ordered it, I knew it in my gut it was a mistake. The so-called pieces of fried chicken were so overfried and burnt, that it had black spots of burnt up batter all over it. It was so dark that it looked like it had been fried in 6-month old cooking oil. The gyudon beef tasted nothing like at the other Yoshinoya locations that I've been to and they literally put absolutely no broth over the rice. Who the hell is supposed to eat such garbage? I went into the restaurant to request a refund but I was told that since I ordered in the app, that I had to handle it in the app. As far as I can see, there's no option to complain about the service and quality of food and request a refund. I left that BS with the employees at the counter. Please do yourself a favor and save your money and...

Me and my friend have been going here almost everyday after an intense workout in planet fitness for months now, we both needed something healthy and best for our wallets, and it was good for a while until Friday October 25 2024 when the night manager Juan give me and my friend who is handicap with cerebral palsy a threating tone to get out of the store when we were already eating, the cashier named Angel was nice enough to let us eat in the dinning room prior, however.

we have been eating in the dinning room almost everyday at night after a workout and this is how your managers treat customers? I think not!

We are taking our business to Carl's Jr. next door where we are treated with respect and dignity. We demand an apology both written and email from Juan the manager of this place as well after his unwelcoming tone to us.

For more context: they didn't tell us to order it to go when they were gonna lock up the doors, they always give us our food in boxes or bowls without a tray during the night as well, we were loyal customers until now.

P.s, promote and give angel a promotion for good service and kindness, fire Juan...
