    Every part of the evening was first rate! Both of our entrees perfect. Our server (Owen) was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.

    My first experience at Yoshi’s was phenomenal! It was my birthday yesterday (12/1) and I wanted to celebrate it at Yoshi’s with a delicious Japanese fusion dinner and watching the iconic Sheila E. perform. My wife had recently fractured her ankle and we had to prepare for every outing we had booked prior to her injury. The Yoshi’s staff was extremely accommodating from dinner reservation process to making sure that venue was ADA friendly etc. to our placement at the performance theater. This establishment is a top notch supper club! Amazing show and great food with an excellent staff will definitely make my wife and return very soon!

    I love Yoshi’s, the food and the vibe is outstanding! Our service in the restaurant was (and is always) top notch! My only issue is checking in for dinner before a concert, it always feels chaotic. It would be nice if that part could be streamlined somehow and that the hosts could all be on the same page and just get people seated. But other than that minor issue, everything else is perfection! I had the deep fried avocado appetizer and the 49er roll for dinner, it was all fantastic!

    Yoshi’s is one of Oakland’s historic landmarks- from providing shows featuring legendary artists, to the scrumptious sushi and side dishes, as well as the cocktails. Definitely a gem not to be missed.

    It was great! It was crowded because there was a show which we attended, Sheila E in the E train, that are waiter was polite and professional, and though a little noisy, the overall ambience was great. Everyone is always very friendly and pleasant at Yoshi’s, which I appreciate.

    We had a great time at Yoshi's the sushi was fresh and delicious. Our server Robin was attentive and friendly. We saw Ghost Note and they were fantastic!! I highly recommend Yoshi's for food and music. There's a parking garage adjacent to the building and Yoshi's validates parking.

    Great venue - seated immediately with my reservation and waiter was on top of everything. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. The venue was full when we arrived but once the show started (at 7p) we literally had the restaurant to ourselves. Parking was plentiful and convenient.
