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.

    Great evening at Yoshi’s. From the starters through dessert, it was yummy. The beef skewers with pepino peppers, the spring rolls, the miso soup! Our server, Katie, was attentive and professional. We shared delicious rolls (the Jack London was particularly tasty). The tempura calamari was also a winner. Ended with sharing the crème brûlée for a perfect finale. We will be back. Our teenage grandchildren (15, 19) had a great time, too.

    Good, tasty seafood in the restaurant with excellent service. In the showroom, they forgot Amy’s order. The server claimed that it was a new system and that “it was his bad.”

    Food was very tasty, and service was great! We saw the show after dinner and it was a good system: you get a reserved seat if you are eating dinner so you don't have to rush to finish eating and fight over the GA seating.

    What a great night I had with my dad. It was his first time at Yoshi’s for dinner and a show and he was very impressed. Our waiter Chris was the best! He took very good care of us. Will be back!
