Yoshinoya — Restaurant in San Bernardino

When we saw this place was being built we were over the moon excited. Every time we have gone since they opened has been disappointment. The first time we went the sodas were nothing but carbon! It was gross. Tonight we went 30 minutes before close (big mistake). The lights were off, like they were closed, probably what they were going for. We were going to order and we over heard the ladies working saying they only had enough veggies for 1 plate. When we ordered, we were then told they had no veggies. We got 2 plates and 2 large drinks for almost $40 and this is what we got? This is terrible! The beef and chicken plate was supposed to be the XL one, most definitely not even close!

Even with requesting side sauce I got none. despite ordering one of each. Mind you this is the double xl plate with side crispy chicken. An finally no napkins and no chopsticks/fork. So I am now 15 miles away,with no sauce No chopsticks and this undercooked, 2nd rate meal I could have ordered for half the price at any...

I ordered a beef bowl which consisted of 20% meat, 30% veg, and 50% udon noodles. I added an order of Tokyo fried chicken for an extra $3. With a drink the total was $16.50.

The beef was good, as I remembered from years before, but stingy quantity. The veggies were tasty and the noodles were mid. The chicken was most disappointing-not crispy and could have used another minute of cook time.
