Yasai - Irvine

Consistently good food from every trip I make to Yasai.

Really fantastic food! the sushi and sashimi here is super fresh and has great flavor. I got a sashimi salad and it was the perfect amount of filling for lunch. service was a bit slow around lunchtime, but everyone was really nice.

Great teriyaki chicken lunch! They call it the Chicken Breast Plate. It comes with 2 scoops of rice, a vegetable skewer, mixed green salad, and coleslaw. It is plenty to make you feel full. Be sure to ask for a side of spicy mayo as it goes great with the salad and coleslaw, and even goes good with the rice. They also have bowls which simply come with less stuff, like no veggie skewer. And of course they have sushi, which I'll have to try next time. I must say it is freezing cold inside the restaurant as they blast the AC.

My and my colleague order took forever to get ready that we ran out our lunch time. They don't have enough staff. When you go make sure you have enough time to wait. The food was not bad.

So my company provides month end close lunches for our staff. Working hard having yummy food is of a huge matter to me. After we did some yelp digging we found Yasai! This mom pop shop does not disappoint. There is such variety that could accommodate pretty much anyone those with vegetarian or dietary restrictions. Just earlier this month we called in for a special order for a colleague cuz her order was pretty strict Yasai was able to make it! Teriyaki tofu plate w/ no rice salad dressing on the side. She said it was delish! We couldn't be more happier to give them any business they can get. We have ordered lunch from them twice now with 15 20 orders each time. What makes it convenient for us was that we were able to place the order online ahead of time! In the comment of each order we placed my colleague's name any notes needed. We did call Yasai to inform them of a huge order coming through for what day to please make sure each order has a name on it. They were very accommodating! They have gotten every order right nothing was missed. My colleagues were very happy with their food selection. They claim the beef chicken were tender well seasoned. Some said additional sauces isn't even needed. All was fresh tasting too. I truly do love how their plates comes with veggie skewers too! What I have had so far was all very yummy!
