“I eat at Yoshinoya almost every day because it's one of the few places where I can consistently get a fresh, balanced, high-protein meal at a fair price. My go-to order is the chicken and beef combo with vegetables and brown rice. I usually swap the teriyaki sauce on the chicken for soy sauce to avoid the extra sugar, and the staff always gets it right.

The food is consistently fresh, and the quality never seems to vary. The employees are extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. I also appreciate that the restaurant is always clean, including the restroom. To me, that's a good sign that they take pride in keeping the entire operation clean, not just the dining area.

Even the music is current and upbeat, creating a pleasant atmosphere while you eat. Overall, Yoshinoya delivers fresh, consistent food, excellent service, and a clean environment at a reasonable price. It's become one of my favorite places to grab a healthy meal, and I highly recommend it.“

“I got in pretty much as soon as they open, so I got the special opportunity to get to talk to Kristine. After a lovely conversation and delicious food, I left feeling so full and at peace. The tempura was crispy and airy, the rice was perfectly cooked, the fish in the sushi tasted fresh. I cannot recommend visiting here enough. I am sure it can get busy, as the place is small, but I think that is part of its charm: meeting with a group of strangers for a good meal and a moment of peace before heading back into the world.“

“This place was delicious! My boyfriend always comes here and it never disappoints. This was my first time here and I have nothing bad to say , the food was very flavorful and fresh . I got the Cajun plate my bf got the coco tempura roll along with a California roll . They have self served sauces on the side which are very good as well. The dining area is clean and pretty spacious the tables come with sriracha and soy along with utensils and napkins. Over all it was a great meal , I recommend.“

“The lunch special caught my eye as I was walking by. Walked in was greeted so warmly. Kiki attended me and she was great and provided the best hospitality. It’s family owned, so I’m glad I was able to help support their business!!!“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

Rodolfo was our sushi chef and not only were the handrolls very good, but the whole place was super clean and had a really calm vibe. We ended up having such a great conversation with him too—it made everything feel even more special. Left feeling super relaxed and satisfied. Definitely worth the stop!“

“Decided to pass by tomorrow and see how good the pho is because I know som great pho place is Alhambra. They had different item I wanted to try but my focus was on the pho. I order sat down , 5 mins later the food arrived. A good pho must have a good broth , it was ok ,I give it 3/5 the pho noodles was right on the money , but will say to a bit more noodles lol feel like it had a bit less or maybe I ate it fast and I didn't notice it 😂😂😂 the beef was nice and tender but also feel like it was a bit of beef 😂 who knows 😏 didn't taste that much spices on the broth. Or maybe this is how they make there pho broth. Overall 4/5 because I still enjoyed it ,the Thai tea was good also wasn't that sweet like other place they give you Thai tea and it felt like it was Thai tea leaf not that podwer Thai tea. I recommend you guys to come give it try , we all have different taste , you may like it or not , it all depends on you. I know I'm coming back to try their other items that good my attention 👀“

“Best teriyaki chicken“

“If I could give this guy 10 stars on service, I would totally do it. Absolutely made my night. The food is very good, but the service is even better.

I love ramen and I love sushi, and both are very good here. My girlfriend and I come here sometimes, and it's always been a great experience, but especially tonight. It's how clean it is.

Especially tonight, there was a tall Asian guy that was just so joyful. He had glasses on, and it just really made our night.“

“We came during Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised with the experience - from delicious and quite good portion of food to attentiveness in service. Patricio was our server and he was very attentive, checking in on us right after the food were delivered.“

“After moving from LA, I’ve been looking for new places to replace my comfort restaurants ranging from Silverlake, koreatown and Dtla .

This place is hands down great with the quality of sushi and the service. feels good knowing I don’t know to drive to little Tokyo to get my sushi fix at Sushi Haus.

This place gained a loyal customer.

I just wish they were able to reserve a spot on Google or Yelp rather than showing up in person to reserve your table if they’re busy“

“The thickest and girthiest sushi rolls I've ever had and it was fantastic.
The staff and service was incredible! Big shout out to Crystal** our server and John the owner for making us feel extremely welcomed and very well fed.

My personal fave was the I LOVE JASMINE roll named after the owner's wife and the Daniel San roll named after the owner's son!

It's a family of great taste forsure!

Also loved how amazing the ambiance was, a GIANT screen to watch the game, plenty of fun decorations that made the space feel fun and alive!

I must come back for the happy hour specials!!“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“Really great service the workers are very nice and the food came out very fast though I did pick up and ate there. I got the Vegas roll and it was delicious you guys should definitely come here! They give you wasabi and soy sauce and the rolls are very big. Definitely worth it and I’ll be coming here more😁“

“We tried the chicken katsu and a noodle dish, they were both really good. We want to go back and try some of their other options as they have so many. The service was excellent, the gentleman brought us all the sauces and was so nice. The place is small, with a few tables but very clean. Definitely recommend this place!“

“service and the food was excellent our waitress Sherry bear was awesome“

“Food is amazing. Pork Katsu comes with 5-6 pork slices that are extremely juicy and tender. Rice on the bottom with salad. Amazing side dishes like pickled radish and cucumbers served with creamy soup.

Service is incredible. Very attentive waiter. Fast with drinks and extremely speedy with service. I ask for napkins or more water; I close my eyes for one second and it's literally all there! Kim Tae (Ted) is amazing! Great work ethic displayed and attentiveness.

Hope to come again with Ted being my server!“

“I live near this Japanese style food restaurant but never have tried, today I decided to have for dinner with my family, my wife had the combo #02(combos come with beverage)she got beef and with white rice and x2 piece californa roll, I got combo #01 chicken and white rice with 4 dumplings, and for my 5yr old son we got him chicken no sauce with rice with the option of a mini box size, perfect for a toddler, we all were very pleased with the food quality and taste.
The chicken is very authentic in flavor not like most fast food, highly processed chicken taste and the sauce is made their, so it's very homemade hand crafted taste which I personally love, I have fall in love with the flavor and I am excited to try more of the dishes served here.
If your are someone who eats slop, highly processed food, made to feed cancer cells you probably won't appreciate the authentic flavor of a dying food craft made with love, this is not fast good, if you appreciate food craft to a culinary degree this place is for you.
Cya soon Okazya!“

“Food is amazing and the prices are actually very good for the amount of meat you get. Love that they are healthy conscious, they had a list of some menu items and their protein and sodium content as well as other measurements which made making a selection so much easier. Will return, staff is very friendly and the food was made fresh and quick“

Cooking your own hot pot makes the whole experience fun and interactive, and everything was fresh and delicious. The service was fast, and the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place!“

“I had the sake salmon and egg sando.
The sando was good. Moist egg filling and well toasted bread. The sake salmon...goodness gracious. It was delicious! I want to try more items on the menu, but I may have a hard time not ordering the salmon again. I highly recommend Neighborhood Bento.
It's definitely worth noting that the staff were cheerful, knowledgeable, and professional. I will definitely come here again.“

“Had the halibut sashimi (광어회) at Hiyori in Buena Park, and it was absolutely top-notch! The quality of the fish was outstanding, and I was completely satisfied. The atmosphere is bright and clean, making for a really pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend! (Check out the photos!)“

“Stumbled upon this location looking for somewhere to eat and when I tell you the amazing smells drew us in like a siren call??? There was a barely noticeable wait and we spent it eagerly looking at the menu. Service extremely prompt and scrupulous. Place is a bit small and they fill the space, so be prepared for loud noises. Food came out pretty fast, especially for being slammed, and it was all very, very good! Tried the ramen, udon, and one of the 'baked' rolls. 100% would come back to try more of all of the above!“

“Great food and great quality“

“honestly The food is very very good, I rate the his place a 10/10 in food and service. For being a Japanese restaurant this food is very tasty, the only thing is that they will serve your food in to go plates. Understandable, but if you are craving something with a lot of variety very good food, healthy and good in nutrients I have to recommend you this place. Also, if you are on a diet this place have the BEST fresh produce you can imagine so gymbros and gym girls do not miss this place 👍✅“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch after my pickleball game at La Habra. Got promptly seated and I appreciated the booth seating.

They have a good selection of Sushi, Udons, Grilled Dishes and Ramen. I opted to get a Sushi and Udon and it came out very well. The place has a good ambience for a quick lunch spot and service was on the mark !

I will definitely be back if I am in the area and want a quick bite. I missed out on taking some pictures as I was running out of phone battery :)“
