text: Contrary to what Chheng L thought Cali people are not the only ones who appreciate Yoshinoya New York peeps also love it My friends and I used to eat at the Yoshinoyas a lot when I was working in NYC and the places were almost always packed And no wonder the food is good and cheap and the service is fast The main drawback for me for this lone franchise in AZ its distance from Phoenix but even that is not so bad as it is one minute from the Dysart Rd exit of I Still I wish they would open some franchises in Phoenix itself And Chheng L was right pouring the clam chowder into the beef bowl sounds crazy but I found it to be yummy when I tried it However if you have never tried the beef bowl before try it by itself first Enjoy
