About this restaurant

    Food was good but you should probably research Japanese cuisine prior as to have an idea of what you may like.

    Let me start by saying Yoshi's is a dynamite venue where everyone should go, and the food is by far off the chain. It has good people, good vibes, and outstanding service, and it's one of my favorite places. God bless the whole Team at Yoshi's, for putting on the best service ever. And the sound is the best I've heard in years. Keep up the good work, how can I get a part-time job at Yoshi's working the ticket, booth, or the sound. I'm on Happy Camper!

    We came to see the Dazz Band. We were checked in and got great seats. Also, we had dinner and were seated across from a large dinner party. They were loud, but we blocked out the noise pretty good. We had a great meal. The kazuo Omakase platter exceeded our expectations. We had a big appetite and devoured a platter for 4 by the two of us!

    Went for dinner & The Dazz Band concert with my boyfriend his first time there. Food took took long. And we like the 4th to be seated once they opened, we even noticed other larger groups eating before us. That was frustrating since we were only 2 & for in line once doors opened for dinning for Our 5:30pm reservation.

    Obviously a very convenient spot for dinner before a show. Service was impeccable but food was just so-so for the price. The filet skewer bites were fatty but salads were decent.

    Great spot in Jack London Square, with easy parking, great service, and really good food. We saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra here at Yoshi's and had front row seats! That was super special. I highly recommend Yoshi's just for dinner and, of course, for an intimate concert venue!
