Yogi’s runs a weekend special on sushi - buy 2 rolls, get one free - best deal around! Available for phone orders or in store only, I believe. The chicken bowls are delicious, too. Beats flame broiler/waba grill any day!

Always good, always fresh and services is never bad... Not cheap but also not to expensive. Remember you get what you pay for. I been coming here for 4-5 years and will continue to come (as long as nothing changes) for good food.

I was at Juice It Up and girl there said Yogis Grill next door had good beef bowls, so I went next door and ordered the beef veggie bowl. So simple and delicious. Waiting for my order I noticed most people were picking up orders and the girl at the counter was taking a lot of call in orders. It would be good to order ahead, but it only took maybe 10 or 15 min. for my order to be ready. Repeat, food was really delicious.

Change prices for teriyaki sauce way too much and wrong prices for the wrong size. When the wife is working always has issues it seems.

Yogis Teriyaki is really delicious. It stands out from other restaurants because it has a smoky flavor! And please give me extra sauce too!

We ordered the Udon, the special (2 cali rolls, 2 veggie tempura, 1 shrimp tempura for $3.99),the beef and chicken bowl(beef, chicken and rice) and a chicken plate (plate comes with rice, salad, edemame and protein of choice). Everything was delicious! I would go there again. Had 2 picky kids with us and they also ate and enjoyed the food.

The customer service was not that great. The California rolls tasted bad, I had to force myself to eat a few. I can’t believe it was over $8 for that. Also there was barely any avacados in them.

Yogis is my go-to place for brunch. My all-time fave is the poke bowl. I also love the beef rice bowl or beef veggie bowl. Excellent service.Waiting time is not bad at all. Can be less than five minutes depending on the order. 😊

Good place to get Pokebowl. About $27 for two large bowls - they are heavy and filling. I suggest you tell them to go easy on the sauce...too much sauce - soaks all of the sushi rice.

Update -1 star is now 3 stars based on how good the food wasafter trying the food Im sure it would have been 5 stars but I dont know what happened with todays issues. But the food was pretty amazing considering half the order was sitting for 30 minutes plus the 15 minutes to get home.I place an order at 530 it is now 630 and I have not gotten my order. I am waiting with 7 other people who are experiencing the same issue and the two people up front are running around like headless chicken. Instead of doing the task in front of them they keep starting a new order and never returned to a previous order in madness.

Second attempt to go here, and second time Im walking away shocked that anyone likes this place.The good, the Beef Teriyaki was tasty.The bad, everything else was weak or awful. The sushi rolls are weak, with small pieces of sushi, and no flavor. even the philidelphia roll is just cream cheese, no rice flavor, tiny fish, and more.Shrimp Udon was acceptable, until I remembered the price, the chicken that was served along side the beef teriyaki was extremely dry. Salad had no flavor, Rice was average, but it was rice, so that could be ok by us.I paid 50 dollars for this meal which is the real problem. Extremely over priced, and low quality. I wont be back for a third time.

First time used and no luck. I ordered California Roll, nothing complicated. Rolls were super small, need to order double otherwise you be hungry in 20 minutes.I git my order and went home. When I opened, it looks like they forgot to put avocado, so I called and let them know. The owner said send a picture, I did. He wrote sorry. I asked for replacement, he told me, forget about it. Customer service is nothing for them. Very disappointed, they charge hight price, but cant deliver.

Every time I go to this place, they mess up my poke bowl order- been the last 5+ times something is not how I ordered it. The girl behind there is usually the one making it. I don’t even know why I keep going and giving them another shot. For example last night I got 4 scoops ahi and 1 scoop salmon- they gave me 2 scoops or so of mushy spicy tuna which I hate, and I even checked the bowl this time before driving all the way home, but didn’t realize there was tons of spicy tuna (and not just all cubed ahi) underneath. There have been many others times where I ask for no sauce in the bowl and sauce ON THE SIDE and the manager has said I need to pay for the sauce, or also instead I’ve sometimes had the whole thing drenched and dripping in sauce when I have instructed no sauce. Not really sure what the disconnect is every time but it’s unbelievable how every time it’s never right. Otherwise, it would be a very great bowl.

A total favorite after school treat for the kids. The staff is super friendly and patient, my little one is learning order for herself and the staff does not rush her but allows her to take her time and place the order. They then go the extra mile by giving her small tastes of items to help expand here pallet. Can not say enough about this place... OH YEAH the food is great too!!

Ive been in here a few times. Its within walking distance of my home which is great and they have a great selection of food to chose from. Joseph at the counter has excellent customer service skills. My fiancée needed a ninja roll. He informed me it chances from place to place but if I mentioned the restaurant i got it from theyd get it got me.The good is good, the prices are decent, they have a rewards card and its great as a takeout/casual dining experience. These guys rock!

I Showed up at 11 on Wednesday, which is right when they open.Long wait - two rice bowls and a crunchy roll took 17 minutes (and there was only one ticket ahead of me).Vegetarian options are not to be found except for the steamed vegetables with rice. If you need protein, as a vegetarian, look elsewhere.The rice was overcooked, my beef was too crispy while the vegetables and chicken where enjoyable.I guess you could come here for the sushi but if you want a rice bowl head for Flame broiler just down the street.

This place is amazing, gem in the rough for sure! Love that Richard always knows what I want before I order it! Fresh extended menu, if I had anything remotely negative to say is that I wish this place was more of a fancy dine in setting somewhere with ocean view...haha same menu and food!!! But than they wouldn’t be right around the corner so maybe not a wish to my benefit

Great food. Great price. The location is convenient, so I visit often. The crunch roll is my favorite (half price on Wed and Thurs). Try to go when Joe is working the counter. He brings an incredible energy to the atmosphere.

Ordered from this place. The delivery was quick but the food was real bad. The food tasted weird to start with. Me and my girlfriend still ate a little of it before we couldnt take it anymore. Both of us ended up sick for the whole of next day.They might serve good food generally looking at the reviews but unluckily didnt happen in my case.

Review №21

2019-12-22 20:17:36

Delicious, inexpensive sushi. They have a variety of deals, such as 3 for 2 rolls on the weekends!WARNING:Their website is NOT up to date with their actual menu. Several items (such as the Vegas roll) listed on the website now differ from the printed menu. If you order online make sure to check when ordering that the roll matches what you want.

The atmosphere of the place is wonderful. Very welcoming and food is fantastic. Love it, all my friends love this place.

2019-07-30 04:21:05

Excellent as always. My girl gets her favorite Pokebowl (which they are very good about her substitutions) and my beef & chicken teriyaki bowl. You have the option to go large on the teriyaki bowls but I dont recommend it, the regular ones are more than large enough for one person and a an already good price.Staff is good and the atmosphere is pretty chill. Beware... the walls are covered in dad jokes. But thats not a bad thing. :D

2021-02-15 03:35:27

The service is okay I understand today is Valentine’s Day so they are busier than normal. With that being said the owner or manager that’s up front is extremely rude and short. The cashier in the other hand is super customer oriented and is super nice he was our saving grace tonight,

Review №25

2018-08-16 23:49:53

Went in around 7p last night, after standing around for 5 minutes in a only slightly busy restaurant, finally the Cashier graces me with his attention and I can ask about what “T&T” means on the menu. Still not getting his whole attention I ask 3 times if he’s ready for my order and to be pleasant to his customers. More attitude so I walk out....

Review №26

2019-04-06 01:20:46

Great food at great prices . And they know us by name when we come to dine. We go often and they have never let us down. Best value for the dollar. Weekends are buy 2 get one free. Cant beat it.

2012-03-18 23:08:28

Food is good. It is just small portions. Spent $30 for two adults and a child and we are still hungry. Vegetable large plate with rice. Not very much rice and a whole lot of cabbage! About the cheapest veggie you can serve. Better deals elsewhere.

Review №28

2018-09-29 21:54:37

My wifes poke bowl was great, my teriyaki chicken was as good as always. I only knock off a star because the tempura, while tasty and almost perfectly cooked, was greasy and I was tasting it hours later even though I only ate 2 pieces.

Review №29

2019-02-22 16:01:03

Its a nice place. They have good and healthy food I guess. Also you can see how the food use good produces because the taste is good ! They care about their customers by being nice and polite and it seem clean and professional. I loved this place but I take just one start because I think they could do better with the menu.

Review №30

2020-08-10 04:01:32

The food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Although not a big fan of the sushi, the tempura and chicken and beef bowl helped me change my mind. Highly recommend.

I was excited for this place because my fiance kept raving about it. I got the dragon roll and i was so disappointed. :( The eel tasted super fishy, like it was time to throw it out. I will not be returning, but my fiance LOVES the chicken teriyaki bowl.

Review №32

2021-01-13 05:05:07

Called and asked for specials. It was cali roll Tuesday. Asked about the teriyaki bowl. He said 6.50$ for a bowl. As i arrive, i see a sign for teriyaki bowl for 6.99$. I asked about it and was rudely told i didnt ask? Ok. Forgot how rude the owner was, Ill just go back to Nori sushi 👍

Since the addition of the Poki Bowl to their menu, Ive become a regular customer and take advantage of the bonus card. Ive never been disappointed; they have high-quality food for a reasonable price every time!

I got the chicken and beef bowl to go, nice service and good food. I have only been here once and its a healthy alternative to other lunch places around.Thus place is like a hybrid of a sushi noodle house.

Review №39

2013-10-16 15:59:27

I tried the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and it was decent. The sushi rolls looks better and might try next time. It has some decent lunch combos. This place is similar to flame boilers or yoshinoya, but they also have fresh made sushi rolls.

They trick people, they have a sign on the door that California role 2,99 and crunch 3.99, but when you wanna pay, they charge you, 17.99$ and they told me, it’s just for Monday and there is no date on the sign, I don’t recommend to anybody to go there, it’s soooooo bad

Went to Yogis Grill in Lake Forest California as a paying customer and asked to use the restroom facilities and was denied due to people being in fear of Covid-19 here in Lake Forest they act as if a Nuclear Bomb had been dropped. The portions of the food are really small. I guess they think everyone is Asian!!!
