The food at ypshinoya has declined since the 80s when it was so good and tasty. Now, it's just institutionalized fast food. Not bad, but not good either. Just edible when you are hungry. The service at this place is just standard. No bad or good. The atmosphere is the worst. Just drab and empty. It almost feels like a hospital cafeteria. And that's bad. It cost me over $16 for a large bowl, side dish, and drink. That's too expensive. Shish.

I got the app so last time I order from Azuza I had to go pick it up to El Monte but it was warm. It was delicious. They give me my condiments. This place is another one that I usually like to go to. I’m going to see pictures next time I do definitely recommend it.

This place sucks. So you only get 4 pieces of chicken and the rest was gonna be veggies for filler? The beef bowl looks kinda empty too. It's pathetic how little they give you. Don't come here. Spend your money elsewhere.

Went back the counter to ask for teriyaki sauce, they forgot in the bag, and he acted as if I was lying about it. I asked 3 times and finally the kid turned around and grabbed the sauces he forgot to put on the bag sitting on the counter behind him and handed them to me. No sorry, not even eye contact cuz we both know who was wrong.

During the pandemic, there were a lot of missteps at this location. Like you ordered a cheese cake and they forgot to put the item into the bag. Employees were talking while they were not engaged in their jobs. However, I don't blame the employees. TBH, at that time, people got paid more staying at home then going to work, and you'd be lucky if there were still people trying to provide customer service. Customer services were just bad across the board, not restricted to this franchise. Recently, I went back to this location because I was craving for some beef bowls. I was impressed this time because they did improve quite a lot. The app told me the order would be ready in 12 minutes. They made it ready in 10 minutes and the order was correct. I usually put in some odd numbers of continents and I was surprised they made it right. They used to ignore me when I got in and I had to tell them a few times what I wanted. This time, they asked me without me asking. I like to see the improvements. I give it 5 stars for the experience.
I bought a cup of pearl milk tea here on July 16th, and it was only packaged into a half serving and handed to me. Is this the right way to do it?

I can see why this place gets a low rating. Boba is super sweet and has chemical taste. They were getting good with the last menu and changed it back to the florescent veggies.

Bad service. Wrong order. Didn't pay attention when taking an order. Employee with an attitude. Won't come back here ever again

I was craving a chicken bowl so I ordered one with NO skin and WITH brown rice. I could hear the employee laughing which tells me she wasn't paying attention. So I repeated my order and she gave me the price but I wasn't done ordering yet. I told her a third time, no skin and with brown rice. I drove up to the window and a guy charged me but she gave me the food. While he was getting my change I checked my order then told him there's skin on this chicken. He said there's no skin. At that point if he couldn't see that there's skin, there's a problem here and it's with the employees. I asked for my bowl and as I drove away they went back to playing around. There were also customers at the counter. No wonder this location has low stars.
