Tried the Kazuo Omakase w Dragon roll, Rainbow roll, Alaskan Roll, Ribeye, and Black cod. Rolls were tight, but on the larger side. Rice tasted slightly sweet, likely sugar added. Ribeye cooked to taste, chopped, and sauced over broccollini. Due to timing, it came out luke warm and likely wasn't rested long enough before sliced. Black cod was tender, cooked in miso sauce. I wish it was marinated longer. The table next to us had a large tempura dish, which I'd be tempted to try next time. Overall, solid food, good service, lovely restaurant.

Had a great night at Yoshi’s and left my prescription sunglasses sitting on my table. Called the next day and was told they were very busy and would call me back. Two hours later I was called back- so they had my first and last name and phone number. They confirmed that they had my sunglasses and I said I would be out of town for work and when I returned I would come pick them up. ONE WEEK LATER I arrived to pick up my $600 PRESCRIPTION sunglasses and was told by the MANAGER that they were thrown away. They were just taking up too much space and even though they had my NAME AND PHONE number, they just didn’t have time to call and warn me. He did say how very sorry he was though. Amazing service! Thanks a ton dude for all of your help. I have never in my life experienced such horrible service before and am shocked that they would literally just throw away someone eyeglasses after they were specifically told that I was out of town and would be returning for them. Never again will I take my service to a place that cares so little about customer service.

Definitely showing its age, both in the menu and 90's decor, but I still love Yoshi's. There are precious few places in the Bay Area where you can eat, drink, and enjoy a show. And Yoshi's often pulls top notch jazz acts.

We loved our experience at Yoshi's. The service & food was awesome. Our waiter name was Robin & he was excellent in every way. We had the steak, pork chop , and salmon dish and all of the food we had was very delicious. We saw loose ends- the show was good too! Can't wait to return to Yoshis restaurant and i hope we're seated in Robin's section again.

I had tickets to a show and was forced to have dinner as a condition to sit in the venue. Last time I went to Yoshi's for concert and opted the 2 drink minimum cover charge, I sat in the last row in the corner. The food looked fantastic, but I didn't experience the wow factor as I had in the past. The quality of the fish was decent. Been a customer since the early 80s. Our server failed to respond to requests in a timely manner and my soft drinks were comped. Getting a to-go box was painfully slow. The server was very sweet and apologetic. The value to see a show there is questionable. I do see the value for entertaining out-of-town friends there.

Had another great time at Yoshis. We got to seat in the special sunken seats. Loved it!! Had a wonderful time with my friends and then topped the evening off with a show. Can't wait to go back next month.

I took a date here, and it was a great date night. Scallops with pork belly and plum sauce delicious, also had steak that was cooked perfectly and actually weighed smothered with a sweet sauce that excites your taste buds instantly..Also seen the Raul Midon and it was a treat. Would definitely recommend it, and I will be going back.

It is unfortunate that a well known restaurant becomes complacent and refrains from simple service standards. We were sat at a table that was obviously not cleaned properly, along with food stains there was a long hair on the table, when brought to our server’s attention his initial response before apologizing was “it’s not mine, mine is tied back” , he looked quite worked up and tired to be fair, poor guy was sweating as he was working many tables probably more than his capacity. The bus boy who filled up our water glasses poured a glass worth on the table and didn’t even bother to wipe it dry, when the server brought the dessert menu he didn’t pay any attention and dropped it right over the puddle! The food was acceptable overall, the only reason we went there. Will think twice though before visiting again if in the area.
