The spicy chicken bowl or spicy pork bowl are so great. They give really good portions and the food is so good. I get it probably 3 times a week!

This is a wonderful place to enjoy healthy food. You can choose from bowls, plates, combos, rolls, sushi and rolls, udon, and yaki udon, salads, or sides. The portions here are quite generous, the rolls are fresh, and the meat is tender.If you want to try authentic udon with noodles, make sure to order the yaki udon.The service is very pleasant, and they will always recommend something to your taste. The menu is extensive, so you'll definitely find something to your liking here.

Great teriyaki chicken lunch! They call it the Chicken Breast Plate. It comes with 2 scoops of rice, a vegetable skewer, mixed green salad, and coleslaw. It is plenty to make you feel full. Be sure to ask for a side of spicy mayo as it goes great with the salad and coleslaw, and even goes good with the rice. They also have bowls which simply come with less stuff, like no veggie skewer. And of course they have sushi, which I'll have to try next time. I must say it is freezing cold inside the restaurant as they blast the AC.

My and my colleague order took forever to get ready that we ran out our lunch time. They don't have enough staff. When you go make sure you have enough time to wait. The food was not bad.

So my company provides month-end close lunches for our staff. Working hard & having yummy food is of a huge matter to me. After we did some yelp digging we found Yasai! This mom & pop shop does not disappoint. There is such variety that could accommodate pretty much anyone & those with vegetarian or dietary restrictions. Just earlier this month we called in for a special order for a colleague cuz her order was pretty strict & Yasai was able to make it! Teriyaki tofu plate w/ no rice & salad dressing on the side. She said it was delish! We couldn't be more happier to give them any business they can get. We have ordered lunch from them twice now with 15-20 orders each time. What makes it convenient for us was that we were able to place the order online & ahead of time! In the comment of each order we placed my colleague's name & any notes needed. We did call Yasai to inform them of a huge order coming through for what day & to please make sure each order has a name on it. They were very accommodating! They have gotten every order right & nothing was missed. My colleagues were very happy with their food selection. They claim the beef & chicken were tender & well seasoned. Some said additional sauces isn't even needed. All was fresh tasting too. I truly do love how their plates comes with veggie skewers too! What I have had so far was all very yummy! What I have had & : [5.0/5.0] Yaki Udon Beef -- [4.5/5.0] Sashimi Salad w/ Ponzu Sauce [5.0/5.0] Salmon + Tempura + Crunch Roll Combo [4.5/5.0] Udon Soup [5.0/5.0] Oriental & Sumi Salad If you guys are looking for individual ordering or even group/office ordering Yasai is a great spot to get food & humbling service from! I can't wait to come back here for their food :)
Great Japanese food! Small establishment, but the food is great! Great service and the prices are very reasonable.

Amazing food, both seafood and chicken options! Everyone loved their food and drinks. 10/10 would recommend this place if you're hungry and want some sushi or chicken teriyaki?

Hidden sushi spot by the Kaiser and Hoag hospital structures in Irvine. Small restaurant. Looks unassuming. The food is quite good though. The sushi really stands out - tastes fresh, flavorful, and the rolls aren't drenched in sauces / random fillings. We didn't try any of the plates / bowls but they also looked tasty. Nice outdoor seating. Very friendly service. If you go in a group order ahead.
