- RRESHAWNDetroit / Eastern Michigan •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI've been to Yoshi's many times, but this was my first time dining in the restaurant. The service was great. Our server, Robin, was outstanding. The food was great as well. I had the Kuro Ninniku Angus Ribeye, and my wife had the Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon. We also enjoyed the Snow Monkey Sushi Rolls. It was a great experience overall!More infoYoshi's OaklandPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Oakland•4.7
