The food was very good. We had a snow crab sushi and the warrior roll, as well as a side salad and a small soup. It was plenty for two people. It's a tight fit, so you get to know your neighbors whether or not you want to. Ours were fair -- quiet on one side and demonstrative on the other. The drinks were very good. We were there for the music, but the restaurant made the evening beautiful.

Dinner and a show! Had tickets to see Tower of Power, and had dinner beforehand. Excellent service, delicious food, (shareable plates) Easy access to parking. Great atmosphere. Because we had show tickets, our seats in the venue were "saved" for us, so we didn't need to rush through dinner. Lovely evening!
Julia
Great menu and food. So loud in the restaurant that you could barely have a conversation and it was difficult for the staff to hear your order.
Maureen
The food was excellent! Sushi, salads & the pork chop was cooked to perfection! Had t last time we were here and it was even better this time! Great service, great drinks. Perfect before the show. So convenient & absolutely delicious.

Another unsatisfactory experience at Yoshis Restaurant before a show. I attend an avg of 2 shows per month at Yoshis. Often times more. Normally we have dinner at the restaurant before the show. We like to allow enough time for us to dine and socialize. Our Bill is NEVER LESS THAN $200 for 2 people. More than that if it’s 4-8 of us. 12-20 had 6:30 dinner reservations for 8 for the 9:30 last show of the night. We were told that we would have to vacate our table at 8:30 to make room for others. Note: the restaurant closes at 9! I told the host how service at Yoshis suck! I also asked our waitress was this 8:30 end time for us correct. She confirmed. I questioned who would be coming for a table at 8:30 for a show where the doors open at 9. She shrugged & said she doesn’t make the rules. Shortly after the Mgr Nic comes over & ask what the problem is. I tell him my concern & disappointment as a frequent guest at Yoshis. His initial approach with his body language was as if he was going to intimidate a table of women since he was “buff” totally unnecessary & unprofessional. I did not ask either staff to send us the mgr. I did not yell or raise my voice but I did speak my mind! Because this is becoming a frequent issue of less than satisfactory service, & seeing the Mgr Nic approach to customer service, it confirms that it is time for us to stop patronizing the restaurant before the shows. I’d rather spend an extra few dollars on preferred seating in the music venue& dine elsewhere at different restaurants in the Jack London Square area. Then to have a challenging negative experience at the Yoshis restaurant & with a mgr like Nic in charge. Additionally Yoshis dinner prices are a bit high. The menu is what it is,not a huge variety, especially when like us you dine there often. We didn’t mind in the past because they used to have experienced staff and great ambiance. Since this is no longer the case, we will enjoy the musical guests, & spend our dinner dollars at a better well managed restaurant. We’ve also been told that service has changed because they have been losing money.. well with the decline in service, you can see why. If I had 4 thumbs, I’d give them 4 thumbs down. Here’s a photo of only a section of the restaurant at 8:15. There were a lot of other empty tables as well.. you will know who Nic the mgr is he walks around arrogantly with his Blond Male Bun, & his tight shirt to show his “ muscles “ horrible people skills

Great place for a show, and a drink, food not so much. Very over priced, and not that good. Not bad, but I've had way better, for considerably less money. The Sake was great. Jazz wonderful
Love coming to shows at Yoshis, and always grab dinner first.

Great night at Yoshi's, but service suffered and we were late to the show. Our server was helpful in that they had our food delivered to the music room but that did take away from our experience.

We booked an early 5:15 pm reservation and arrived 10 minutes before but had to stand in line along with all those that had show tickets before being seated almost 15 inutes later. Maybe Yoshi's will consider a separate line for dinner only guests? Our 2 year old guest wolfed down the kobe beef kabobs! So tender and flavorful. Then he grazed on his very generous kid's meal of soba noodles, tempura, chicken teriyaki and rice! So happy! Adults enjoyed tempura calamari, the Japonese, Jack London and Warrior rolls along with hamachi nigiri. Fish was fresh. Sadly we had to ask for soy sauce 4 times before a staff member brought to our table. Then we were served an order of what the staff member called hamachi nigiri but it was ikura so we had to call attention to getting the incorrect item. The tatami room was a nice experience, especially for our 2 year old guest. Seemingly private.

My wife & I visited Yoshi's to see my favorite drummer, Dave Weckl. The food, atmosphere, vibe were absolutely outstanding! Big shoutout to our server Jorge; very professional & personable. We will DEFINITELY be returning!!! In short, Yoshi'sis a great place to dine, & listen to music from world class musicians!!

Yoshi's needs no help from me. Everything about the experience is top shelf. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. If you are a human, you need to go here.
