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.

    I have dined at Yoshi's at least 100 times over the years. I usually stick to the more traditional Japanese food. Last night, I had the Pork chop. It was the best pork chop I ever tasted. Well Done!

    We had the most rude waitress . She had to be the most insecure woman, for one her make up was as if she was in a chola movie and tried to be HARD w us. She was hateful and the food was horrible . I couldn’t get her attention at all . I think my drink was made to make me sick. I had a Long Island $20 bucks ea I bought one for my friend it was his bday $40 for 2 drinks. I took 2 sips n I was sick as a dog. 2 two appetizers two drinks and they came to $130. I was so frustrated. It was horrible service horrible food. I’ll never go back.. I heard good things about it too

    Food was acceptable, just wish there were more vegan options. I had the veggie fritter which was very good. I just prefer to have non-fried foods. There was a veggie wrap that looked good, but it had shiitake mushrooms. Not sure if that’s the only type of mushrooms this restaurant has. I will have to inquire next time. Overall this restaurant was nice.
