Just outside of Shinjuku Station, via the Southern Terrace exit, this Yoshinoya is ten times better than anything you will have in the States. Pros– — Beef Bowl is incredibly tasty! The meat is spiced perfectly and the rice was just about the perfect combination of sticky and fluffy! — Fast, and I mean like super fast, service! We ate on the second level and the lady working had our bowls to us in less than 5 minutes! She was cooking, washing all the dishes, and serving all the drinks to a full crowd upstairs like it was nothing! — very affordable price wise, like $ 4USD! Cheaper than back home and much better quality! in-win! Cons– — Like most places in Tokyo, very small place with super cramped seating — Once it fills up(which it often did) you are stuck either standing around waiting or just out of luck — Only beer or water for drinks.lol.again, a lot of places in Tokyo were like this! Kirin or water only. This place is rediculously convenient just as you leave the station, so we went here a couple of times during our stay. 4 stars.

Different from LA but still pretty tasty! You can even have beer or fresh salmon to go with your meal. The portions are a lot smaller so if you are feeling hungry, you might want to order a combo with soup and kimchi.
