    Underwhelmed with the food. Although, large quantity of food are provided, the sushi/sashimi are not the freshest. We had sake (salmon) and hamachi…both were pre-cut and displayed. The hamachi had a fishiness to it that no amount of ginger could rid the taste.

    Yoshis is excellent!! The sushi is fresh and well priced. The entrees are a little pricey and on the smaller side. The cocktails are fabulous and there’s a nice selection of sides and starters. They have a great wine list too, but of course the best reason to go is that they have live music seven nights a week!!! The music is the best part.

    We have been to Yoshi’s quite a few times in the last couple of months of 2025. The value for the money is excellent! Have enjoyed gourmet meals for two and the bill has been around $100. Often with beverages. Alcoholic even. Their reservation system works very well, and by making reservations early, and arriving by 6 pm, have had front row center seating! Service is excellent and have never been disappointed. The music room is first rate, and have seen many first rate artists here…with ticket prices under $100 each. Have seen Paul Taylor twice and this last time 6-10-25 was off the hook! It was my birthday and there is no place my gal and I would rather be! There is a parking garage next door so no problem with safety. Jack London Square is nice. It’s getting to where we have been going once a month now due to the the excellent food, service and famous jazz artists on the schedule. I only wish we had discovered it sooner.

    We were dining at Yoshi before we attended our Jazz Show inside the venue. Food was served quickly and they were good in terms of taste and presentation; not to mention the excellent service from our wait staff, Fiona P, to the bus boy. We were full after the main course but we had to try the dessert. The beignets were so good, not extra sweet but enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. We really had a wonderful time dining at Yoshi and we will definitely come back. Thank you.
