Yoshinoya

Came here, order to go. Oh my goodness, the smell is horrible. Is the sewer open and is under the soda fountain? I know I’m hungry but the smell makes me puke and seeing a few people tolerated and ate their food inside make me sick to the stomach. Health inspection a must and needed in this Yoshinoya branch at Glendale.

I walking to this location it smells really nasty it feels like you’re walking in a bathroom smell was so bad I couldn’t even order my food
I asked the lady wide smiles like to swear and the floor was so nasty I try to avoid to go to dislocation but I go maybe they been changed it’s the same nasty place even homeless wont go there
If you are in Glendale area go to the one on Colorado and Brand

Yoshinoya, since the 80’s has been a favorite of yours truly.
From the menu I only buy these things depending on my appetite.
1:Large Original Beef Bowl with Extra «cooked» Onions.
2:Large Terryaki Chicken & Beef Bowl Combo.
3:Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing.
Mosty large but I do get a small sometimes.
Sometimes their Clam Chowder is good too.
Love their Red Ginger.
Their crushed red peppers are good too.
I don’t care for their new items.
Orange chicken, from a Yoshinoya seems odd!
Conveniently located next to a Vons supermarket.
I would usually just park at the Vons parking lot.
I can eat a meal, then do my groceries, it’s a win-​win.
Having said this, I would only eat here during the day.
In the evening, I would suggest getting it to go, as with most Yoshinoyas (this goes for all Yoshinoya locations) it’s a favorite hang out of transients, & creepy characters of the night.
Their parking lot also has an awkwardly placed one person booth that sells cigarettes, that mostly sells to the aforementioned creepy characters especially in the evenings.

It’s Yoshinoya. What’s there to expect, really. Located on the corner of San Fernando and Los Feliz Blvd. this location looks as if it’s been here for years. The eating area inside looks clean, not as big as some I’ve been in.
I ordered the Angus beef bowl and it came out in a flash! That was a bit frightening considering its beef… I guess it’s fast food beef, so… expected? The rice a bit saturated with sauce which I don’t like my food saturated in anything. The beef was good and hot, but seemed a bit fatty. Angus or not, it passed.
Either I was starving from the long drive from Lancaster or it’s just been a really long time since I’ve had Yoshinoya and felt this sudden urge for something good, but so bad.

Convenient.
Cheap.
Regular Selection.
What you should expect for the price.
The staff could benefit on «How to smile at customers» seminar.

Came here because I had a coupon. I usually like Yoshinoya. I gave 2 stars because the girl behind the counter dropped the ginger to go container and instead of throwing it away, she gave it to me! Granted the ginger didn’t pop out of the container, but come on she could have replaced it! Kinda gross!
Idk if I could come back here. I think I’ll stick with my usual place in L.A.

This place tastes like bitter tears. It’s awkwardly placed at an intersection right by a supermarket, so walking in you see supermarket staff hating their lives and eating beef bowls. They’re not even trying to mask their disdain. They’re mixed in with single men who wonder where their lives went wrong and families enjoying a night out. Then there’s me.
I’m Japanese so I have some connection with Yoshinoya. My grandparents liked this place as a kid, and ever since I’ve been conditioned to like the chicken bowl. The chicken is charred perfectly and even has some charred skin on it, like a pork rind. Then there’s the mushy, saucy vegetables that come with it. All on a bed of mushy white rice. Mmmm. Tastes just like the motherland.
The lesson here is, if you have kids, don’t feed them crap because the taste will get lodged in their brain for their entire lives, and they won’t be able to escape it. Worst case they’ll spend thousands of dollars on therapy bills trying to figure out the source of their strange love of Yoshinoya.
IT’S NOT WORTH IT!!!

No wonder yoshinoya beef bowls have been closing. The quality has been going down through the years. The only thing I order nowadays is the clam chowder. It seems like the complaints are falling on deaf ears tsk tsk

I ordered the Large Chicken Bowl for the first time and to be honest, the food was absolutely horrible. Disgusting. The chicken was more fat than meat and saw a few pieces that had gristle/​or bone on it. It was not edible. I will not be returning or ever visiting another location again.

Stay away those of us in line had to watch someone cut in. When told there was a line he said so. Manager stared like huh served him threatened people. Done with this chain

When you walk in you can tell this place is run down. It also didnt help that the lady who took the order ran our card, didnt print the receipts, went to wipe the tables and wipe the soda machine (with the same cloth). Then proceeded to mop the floor. Came back and packed the orders. Havent even thought about washing her hands.
The thing that amazed me was… It was not even busy, possibly 4customers and the 2 ladies were struggling and messing up orders. The guys in the kitchen even yelled at them.
God save their souls!

I love the food especially when you are hungry…4 star!!! Unfortunately, the management needs to update the bathroom and the dining room is not properly maintained that is why I rate it one star only!!!

This place is really good. But once you’re finished eating you get a sense of disguist and you never wanna try it again. But once you get hungry you wanna try it again So in other words to sum up what Yoshinoya is, is one big cycle of love and hate.

I ordered my all time favorite dessert (double dutch chocolate). As i was eating, i noticed molds all over my food! Gross! With this happening, i assume they dont check or store their food properly. Im returning this and get my money back and i swear never to eat here again.

I’ve been coming to this location forever. This is the only Yoshinoya location that i know of that is super generous with the meat. Other locations are so cheap when people order the beef bowl.
Enjoy!

Ugh. Kill me if I ever step foot in another Yoshinoya’s. Like for reals.
Yuck and gross. Hubby wanted a beef bowl. Hubby got the beef bowl. I tagged along and got the beef bowl as well. Okay, it’s been like 5 years since I’ve eaten here. The last I remember it, it was below subpar, it was like last resort faux Japanese food.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t had it in years or they changed their recipe or quality went down or what, it was just yucky and gross. The beef tasted funky to me, like not beef but rubbery and chewy. There were way too many onions in it too. As for the rice, they drowned (I mean really drowned) the rice with beef juice or whatever sauce they call it. Holy moly it was so salty and nearly inedible. My hubby got the combo bowl with the chicken, beef and veggies. I used to like the veggies that came with it — carrots, broccoli and cabbage. What he got was cabbage and cabbage and more cabbage. Oh wait, a little stem of broccoli. What a disappointment.
And why do all Yoshinoya’s vaguely smell of urine and bleach??? GROSS!

This location has been around forever. It’s not the best but if you just need to have something to eat and you don’t want a burger, Yoshinoya (or what the locals call «Beef Bowl» is an alternative.
The psudo sukiyaki beef with rice is an acquired taste. I admit I grew up on this type of food so I’m used to the fatty and chewy thin slices of beef and the calrose rice.
If you’re new to this place, maybe the chicken will be a better first choice. You have to ease into the Yoshinoya way.

This was one of the worst foods I have ever eaten. I feel bad saying it, but it’s true.
I remember I ate this a long time ago and forgot if I liked it or not.
My co-​workers bought this for everyone during lunch break and I ordered the half and half.
I couldn’t even finish half of it. The beef and chicken had no flavor at all. It didn’t even look appealing! It looked very light and bland. The hot sauce couldn’t even improve the taste. The texture of the beef and chicken was extremely thin and the sauce didn’t have any taste at all!
I’m just so disappointed.

When ur in need of some cheap, filling tasty combos… go for it.
My personal favorite the Beef Bowl combo with your choice of soda (cherry pepsi for me)
If you want to get some veggies into your meal you can do that too. Your choice of beef, or chicken and lately they added gyozas to the menu too

Oh Yoshinoya, you failed me the other night. So after a night out with the fellaz, we decided to do some beef bowl take out. I ordered the combo: drink, 1 regular beef bowl, and the clam chowder. My other buddy had the clam chowder as well and I think that’s where we went wrong. They didn’t have any of it in the pot (it was 2am), so they asked us to wait 10 minutes. We were pretty buzzed so I don’t think any of us cared. I did see the chef grab the clam chowder mix out of the freezer and threw it in the pot.
We proceedded to my pad with our take out, devoured the food (which was of course delicious especially when you’re intoxicated). The next day, I think we all had a bad case of being the toilets best friend. All those guys who had the clam chowder had the same symptoms. I’m not giving them a 1 star because I know I will still come back. I still love you Yoshinoya even though you did me wrong on my last visit.
