Udon noodles and Tokyo fried chicken was the bomb

This Yoshinoya at its best makes great food. Unfortunately, the food is usually not at its best.Oftentimes the meat is tough and stringy. They rely heavily on their sauces the make up the flavor. The vegetables, especially the cabbage, are often old and discolored. I wish I could say I was surprised when they served me the sorry-looking vegetables in this picture.To be fair to this Yoshinoya, this photo shows a worse than usual result. But it is telling that they serve food with this level of visual quality without comment. It makes me wonder how quality is being overlooked in other parts of their ingredient supply and execution.3 stars - because it will get you fed, and is one of a limited number of options in this part of UCSB's campus. But I don't advise seeking it out unless you're already on the northeast corner of UCSB.
Vegetarian options: No vegetarian main options. Some sides are vegetarian, but not really a decent meal.

It’s not as good as Yoshinoya in China, but it’s still delicious. Sometimes I suddenly want to eat it…

Best fast dining on campus, Multiple options for toppings on noodle or white or brown rice with steamed vegetables. Nice lady has run it since opening.

Great food and great service!
Not good for vegetarian or vegan people at all.
Costs around $8 for a regular size chicken bento (likely the cheapest option on the menu). It comes with good portion but the sauce was way too salty.
