Yoshinoya entered the United States opening a corporate office in [[Denver]] in 1973, and then its first retail location in Denver in 1975.<ref name="history" /> (This location later became "Kokoro", a similar restaurant run by Mas Torito who had previous experience at a location in Japan.) Yoshinoya is currently only present in California. A location in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]], went out of business in February 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yelp.com/biz/yoshinoya-las-vegas|title=Yoshinoya - CLOSED - University - Las Vegas, NV|website=Yelp}}</ref> A location in [[Goodyear, Arizona]], opened in 2008, but went out of business in December 2011.

In March 2020, as a result of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, indoor dining was temporarily abandoned, with [[take-away]], drive-thru or pick-up service still available.

The main menu in the United States includes the beef bowl, chicken bowl, combo bowl, and shrimp bowl, along with soup and desserts, and has variations such as "beef with vegetables bowls", "[[teriyaki]] chicken bowls", and [[barbecue]]-style plates. Skinless chicken is available upon request. [[Tempura]] bowls are no longer available. The menu of Yoshinoya in the U.S. is similar to that in Japan. At a basic level, both companies serve several recipes over a bowl of rice, which includes the trademark beef bowl with very thinly sliced beef plus light sauce and onions.
