Yoshi's has served Japan's best traditional dishes to Bay Area patrons since 1972. The menu highlights artfully arranged sushi, fresh grilled seafood, classic Japanese dishes, and vegetarian fare. Patrons can kick off their shoes in the traditional Japanese tatami seating or dine at tables. Expert sushi chefs create sushi and sashimi to order either in the restaurant or in the jazz house. Start the evening in the cocktail lounge before dinner or have a nightcap after taking in a show in the jazz house.

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

    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.

    Good quality. I really enjoyed my unagi followed by the cod entree. Delicious! Fun sake tasting as well. Knowledgeable staff. Fun! Just a bit loud. No biggie!

    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!

    Great service, amazing food. We went before a show and they were sure to serve us quickly so we could get seated in time. The food was delicious, good wine selection, nice cocktails. The only complaint (and it's minor) was that two of our dinners arrived before the others and while we were still eating our salads. Overall, it was a lovely meal!
