Lamb Crunchwrap and garlic Parmesan fries were amazing. Spot was a little crowded when I first got there a few people were waiting for their orders but once I got seated and started eating wowza, Crunchwrap was really easy to eat and stayed together well and the gyro stuff inside with lamb meat was delicious! Will be back to try the rest of their menu

We drove from Hollywood to try their Gyros and crunchwraps after seeing a post online, and we were not disappointed.
Garlic chicken crunchwrap was delicious. Chicken was cooked well, and I highly recommend getting the garlic sauce & banana peppers. The added flavor and juiciness sauce up the crunchwrap perfectly.
The beef gyro is on a other level. Perfect savory/salty beef complimented by the pillowy pita. I'd eat this every day.

I'm so happy I decided to visit yasu guys, I had the most amazing experience!
If you love Greek flavors but also appreciate a modern, creative spin on classic dishes, this place absolutely delivers in all aspects!
I ordered their Chicken Crunch Wrap, which is their take on a Greek gyro but reimagined in a way that feels fresh and fun.
Think traditional gyro flavors like seasoned chicken, creamy sauces, crisp veggies, but wrapped up in a perfectly toasted, golden, handheld format that gives you that satisfying crunch in every bite.
The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, not dry at all. The balance of textures is what really got me. The tender meat, cool and creamy elements, and that crisp outer layer that ties everything together. It's comforting but also feels elevated at the same time.
What I loved most is that it didn't feel greasy or heavy. Sometimes wraps like this can feel overwhelming, but this was flavorful without being too much. Every bite had that herby, savory Greek profile, but with a modern street-food twist that makes it super craveable.
And the baklava cheesecake! I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be one of the best cheesecakes I've had in a long time. It's such a genius concept that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet, nutty, honeyed layers of baklava. The cheesecake itself was smooth and decadent, not overly sweet, and the baklava elements added that perfect crunch and warmth from the spices and nuts.
The service was beyond great, seriously feels like I stepped into a place where they treat everyone like family. Super hospitable and welcoming. There were some regulars there when I visited and they talk amongst themselves like if they're family as well. I loved the vibes here!
Overall, Yasu Guys really impressed me. It feels like a spot that understands traditional flavors but isn't afraid to experiment and modernize them. The food is well-executed, and genuinely exciting.
If you're into Greek food but want something a little different from the usual gyro plate, this is your place.
Already planning my next visit! Thank you for having me.

This place is a SFV gem. Someone recommended it on reddit and I was so happy we stopped by. The food was bomb! We ate the traditional Gyro's. The Taziki sauce was delicious. Our toddler loved the French fries. Overall this is a nice little spot. Parking was a little rough since they are located in a very small plaza but thankfully we were able to get a spot quickly. We will definitely come eat here again.

Really disappointing after looking so forward to trying this place since it’s so close to home. Stopped in with my son to order some food to go. First clue to leave should have been the empty sitting area(5-6 tables only). 3 people working inside yet it took them some time to come out and acknowledge us and take our order. We ordered 4 beef/lamb wraps 3 reg and 1 garlic fries to go. Total came out to $96. Literally took 20 minutes to make our order when they had no other customers and the meat was already cooked on their rotisserie. Well we finally get our food and go home to try with the family and everyone had the same reaction of how dry an overcooked the meat was. Honestly the best thing we had was the garlic fries. Complete miss on flavor and quality.

The food was absolutely outstanding and truly captured the heart of Greek cuisine. Every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and made with incredible care. From the very first bite, you could tell that high-quality ingredients were used, and the flavors were perfectly balanced — simple yet rich, just like true Greek cooking should be. The herbs, olive oil, and seasonings all came together beautifully, creating dishes that were both comforting and vibrant.
The appetizers alone were exceptional. The tzatziki was creamy and refreshing, the pita was warm and fluffy, and the spanakopita was perfectly crisp on the outside with a rich, savory filling. The Greek salad was incredibly fresh, with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, briny olives, and generous chunks of feta that tied everything together. Each bite tasted like it came straight from the Mediterranean.
The main courses were just as impressive. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful, the souvlaki was grilled to perfection, and the moussaka was rich, hearty, and layered with amazing flavor. Everything was cooked just right — juicy, well-seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. You can really taste the tradition and passion behind the food, which makes the experience even more special.
To finish the meal, the desserts were phenomenal. The baklava was perfectly sweet with flaky layers and just the right amount of honey, and the galaktoboureko was creamy, warm, and unforgettable. Paired with Greek coffee, it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal.
Overall, this was an outstanding Greek food experience that exceeded expectations in every way. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Greek cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place delivers authentic flavors, generous portions, and a truly memorable dining experience. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, traditional Greek food done right.
