Yoshinoya

Didn’t enjoy it at all. I ordered the large beef bowl and requested to add green onions. I pushed all the beef out of the way and proceeded to only eat the rice. Even after adding soy sauce and red peppers, the meat remained tasteless.

MEMORIES!
OK so this place is just like an ASIAN style fast food joint! I FREAKEN LOVE yoshinoya! It brings back memories of all my childhood times & they only have this one location in Vegas!
The staff are quick & just do their job. You order your food & then you pick up your food at the counter.
LARGE BEEF BOWL $ 7.89 — This is only like 50 cents more than the regular size. so OBVIOUSLY being the fatty I am I get the LARGE one… white rice topped w/​thinly marinated beef brisket slices & onions. If I want a quick simple simple meal this is what I crave. Plus I add some green onions & it just tastes that much better.
CHEESECAKE $ 2.29 — I LOVE their cheesecake for some reason… it is so smooth in texture & just melts in your mouth. Ahahhaha
This place may be strictly a childhood memory favorite but I hope they never change & never go out of business because if I become a mom & don’t wanna cook & just grab a simple meal that I KNOW my child will eat… this will probably be my go to over McDonald’s or any other fast food joint.

I got the teriyaki chicken bowl and it was alright. But if you’re thinking about going here, you might as well be at Aloha Kitchen.

Came in for the first time, asked the lady at the counter what’s the difference between the «Beef» and the «Angus Beef» and got the answer, «they’re 2 different beefs». That’s not what I meant, I meant is either one more tender or flavorful because it’s about the same price. She still responded «it’s 2 different beefs». Ok let me say I ordered the Angus Beef and was sort of disappointed with both the flavor and the chewy-​ness from all the fat that was on every piece. Sauce is just drenching all over the meal (not a good sign that they don’t really marinate their meats). The rice was not soft but more of an undercooked texture and taste. 2 stars was for the price being under $ 8 a plate, but this place is more a 1 ½ stars compared to other non «authentic» Japanese places you’ll find in a shopping mall.

Loooove their beef bowl! I’m glad they opened one up in Vegas! They need to open one in Henderson! This place is popular in LA!

I was on the Strip and remembered there’s a Yoshinoya not too far away. I had a weird, nostalgic craving for it. I grew up eating beef bowls in L.A. when I was young. I would eat it before or after clubbing in Hollywood. I would get smack from my husband, my sister, and a few friends for liking this stuff. Hey, we all have our embarrassing fast food likes!
So this is my second time coming to the Vegas location. I ordered two large beef bowls. I never liked the fluorescent veggies. I ate one bowl there and took the other bowl to go to eat the next day. It was alright and not as good as I remembered them. I had the same thought the other time I came here.
The next day, I reheated them. It wasn’t good. I felt gross after. I would not recommend eating it the next day. I guess my taste buds have changed. I don’t think I’ll be craving this for a while.
Also, it’s kinda ghetto here. I was trying to eat as fast as I can so I can get out of there. I was too hungry to take it to go.

Small menu and all food tastes same. It hot in here with ac barely working. Been at UNLV four years and now I know why no one ever mentioned this place.

i have been craving this place for years since moving from california to georgia. now i am back on the westcoast i found the one and only yoshinoya in las vegas.
let me start off by saying the prices are extremely high compared to california prices. you may as well go to a japenese restaurant and sit down and you probably would come out cheaper. none the less i won’t go here as often as i would like because of the high prices.
but in spite of the prices the food was deeeelicious. of course the food was fresh and the beef was so tender and good. the service was pretty good and prompt. it was kind of crowded so i guess everyone was having a craving like i was or needed to get out of this 115 degree weather today.

Someone told me they used to love this place in LA. I was driving by UNLV and thought I’d try it. Omg, it was horrible. The food was soggy and the meat was fatty and poor quality. I actually couldn’t finish my food. I’m only giving them a 2 because the cashier was really friendly.

The beef & veggie plate is nostalgic for me…
When I was going to OCC I lived off of this stuff. I would buy a large beef bowl & make three meals out of it because I was broke. Every time I have Yoshinoya it takes me back to that time & I think of how far I’ve come so it’s not just about the food but it’s also about the memories.
This stuff has such a distinct taste & it hasn’t changed in years which I love. It’s cheap, filling & delicious. The beef is extra thin & I love the flavor! The veggies are a must for me because they are always perfectly cooked & I pour some soy sauce over everything & it doesn’t get any better :)
There’s one location in town which sucks & I’m waiting for the day it comes to the west side :)
Worth driving across town for this stuff? My answer is absolutely!

Too bad this is the only Yoshi in town. This place tastes just like any other Yoshi, so that’s good, but you can tell the owner is a cheapskate. Tip jars at fast food joints always irk me. They’ve got one here. Then they took away the Sriracha bottles, then the ginger. Now you have to ask them for the ginger. And I love ginger so when we asked for 3 containers for two bowls, I could tell the girl didn’t want to give us more than one each. We did use all of it though. Next I’m sure the soy sauce and pepper will be taken away too.
Also the prices here are higher than what I remember them being in CA. $ 8 a bowl (large).
But another plus is they do offer a free regular size bowl for your birthday with the purchase of a drink.

Fast and easy check out, placed my order and paid pretty quick. I went around noon and it wasn’t too busy.
This place actually had pretty good food and is ready pretty quick so I really appreciate that when I’m on the go. Only thing that could improve is the rice to meat ratio. For the $ 7 I pay I get way too much rice but other than that it’s pretty good!
Also ordered veggie spring rolls and they were super yummy and fresh!

Horrible horrible beef! I ordered two combo plates and a large beef, the beefs were 90% fat I would had demanded a refund if I wouldn’t have lived so far away. I loved this place in CA when I was growing up. A coworker told me there was one in Vegas I was so happy! I ordered our families food and took it home, when I got home I was mortified we threw it out. I still can’t believe how disgusting the beef looked, I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt but it was like chewing half cook fatty bacon, do yourself a favor and skip this place $ 27 in the trash.

The food was not too bad. A little bland and I feel a bit over priced for what you get. I hit this place up at noon at it was dead inside. The seating area just feels like it’s lacking in decorations of some kind. The staff were nice but the service was slow.

one of my fave jap food!!! just sad they made the: to go: containers smaller so then u don’t get as much, BUT still good food!!! great service everytime… well, how hard is it to take someone’s order??? o. O lol pleasant people everytime i go there… :)
i ALWAYS get the combo… :)

Thanks for mopping 45 minutes before you close. My food tastes like pine sol. It WAS delicious… But the rudeness in timing ruined my meal with my son. Did I miss tipping you and I’m getting this kind of service? Wait til I walk out!!!

Food was great!
First time trying this place out for lunch and definitely won’t be my last.
Service was friendly.
Will recommend this place to friends and family.
I had the chicken teriyaki plate I believe.
Great job

Been eating this stuff since I was a lil girl. Love it. This Vegas location has a good crew. Alfonsina is a sweetheart :)

This is a classic for me I grew up in this stuff. ok so I’m thinking the bad reviews are because people don’t know how to eat here so here let me help you out.
Large beef bowl
(Add chilli. powder, ginger, and soy sauce)
Clam chowder is a must
If you’re really hungry get some sesame chicken wings that is all

I finally did it, for Tony T. I walked to Yoshinoya and got a beef bowl (gyudon) to go. For whatever reason, the faded building/​sign always turned me off, so I expected it to be old and dirty inside. I already can get cheap gyudon from Japan Creek or just make it at home, so I never saw a reason to come here, though I worked within walking distance for almost 6 years.
I spotted Yoshinoya in Japan but never sought it out to eat at one. The other day, I watched a show called «Fast Foods Gone Global» on Travel Channel, which usually chronicles US chains that infiltrate other countries and make special menus for each country’s tastes. However, this episode was international fast food companies’ infiltration into the US, and whether or not menu items were changed for the American palate.
Yoshinoya has clearly adjusted its menu to the American palate, but the gyudon is still what gyudon is always — fatty thinly sliced beef cooked with onions in a sauce made with typical Japanese ingredients and served on top of rice, with beni shoga (red pickled ginger) as an accompaniment. I ordered a regular beef bowl (just under $ 6 with tax, and added beni shoga. I also sprinkled on some shichimi togarashi and though not traditional, some chopped green onion that was out for miso soup orderers (only because green onions are my favorite vegetable!)
The menu otherwise has some odd things (I am not a fan of teriyaki type joints so I do not like the weird vegetables like zucchini in my bowls or stir fries), like vegetables, udon bowls, chicken and combo bowls, and grilled fish — I asked what type of fish and the lady pronounced something weird twice to me that started with an S, a name of a fish I certainly have never heard of in my life and have no idea how to spell… I did notice Yoshinoya now has ponzu sauce (not for the beef bowl but rather the fish). I liked the to go bowl packaging and the meal stayed hot on my jaunt back to the office to eat. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the interior too. Accepts credit cards for orders over $ 5.
