I completely agree..this is the worst restaurant in Bakersfield. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl, the chicken was pure fat rather than meat...yuck! I was so disgusted that I ended up throwing it away..uneatean...and vowed never to go back there ever again. Words for thought..any japanese restaurant that has a drive-thru window, should say enough for the quality of food they serve. Anyone care for fast japanese food?

Ordered the shrimp bowl, shrimp was soggy from sitting on the rice. Beef bowl was full of grissel. Worst Japanese food i've had, wont return.

I make it a point to stop here whenever I pass through Bakersfield and in need of my Beef Bowl craving. Granted it's not as flavorful as the Beef Bowl of the 1980's but this is not typical...

I make it a point to stop here whenever I pass through Bakersfield and in need of my Beef Bowl craving. Granted it's not as flavorful as the Beef Bowl of the 1980's but this is not typical Japanese dish. This is only Sukiyaki meat on a bed of rice, nothing more. I don't even bother with the other selections. The offering of other dishes has diluted the original concept of the chain restaurant and so is their focus to taste. This place is still way better than many of these unhealthy fast food offering in this town. I'd take this over many in this town any day or night. Nice To Know Ya Yoshinoya!

I have to agree with nooneisabovethelaw . When they first opened in the early 80s (I think) it was pretty good but, now it is the pits. The last time I went about a yr. ago & only because there was no place else around I ordered took about 3 bites & in the garbage it went (& I was hungry till then). My opinion, don't waste your money there.
