One of my favorites spots for entertainment. It's usually not the best dining experience for me ONLY because I don't eat seafood so my options are limited. This weekend I tried something new (not sure it it was new to me or new to the menu) and I actually liked it. It was the Black Garlic Veggie Ramen. Not bad at all!

The food is good service outstanding and I love the quaintness of the space. I did not reserve my table ahead of time and that was fine the gracious host said no problem we will get you seated. The service was very personalized and I love that. While I was waiting at the bar the hostess came over to check if I told the bartender that I was there for the show. I did not, she told me the next time let them know. The drink I had was so delicious I'm will return soon! Great service, great people I recommend this establishment!

We went out to Yoshi's the other night to check out the Rich Rich concert with the Kevin choice ensemble. While they are, we enjoy the edamame as well as the shrimp tempura and the beef tenderloin. They were all delicious. I also enjoyed a couple of old fashions and my wife had a drink that she really enjoyed. The show was excellent. The service was excellent, and although I couldn't eat all my food that day, I enjoyed the leftovers the next day and I would highly recommend this because the crowd was nice. We settled and shared a table with another couple and really enjoyed our meal and the concert. I gave this a five star not just because of the food in the service but also because of the concert, Richie Rich was on point as usual

Update. Went here again for a jazz show and had a martini, sushi and chicken teriyaki. Still expensive but generous portions and really tasty, fresh food. I was surprised. Something changed since my last visit.

So grateful to have this local gem still here in Oakland. Idk what happened to the one in SF, but let's keep Yoshi's around forever y'all! I was very impressed with how the wait staff was able to take our orders bring the extra items we requested and get our bills and everything taken care of so efficiently! It was a packed house but they were well trained! We appreciate the vegan sushi options and would love more plant forward desserts and apps. I love coming to Yoshis and have lost count on how many wonderful events we've experienced here. I cherish each night we've spent here this far. Thank you.

Located in the heart of Jack London Square, Yoshi's is definitely the place to be when it comes to the center of jazz and hip-hop culture, especially with the select amount of local and international artists they select. They also have a wonderful selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic? It in itself is also a restaurant outside of the concert scene -- serving Japanese delicacies, entrees, and more. This past weekend I went to Yoshi's to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, which is a Latin jazz orchestra based out here in the Bay Area. The staff were very kind and very helpful when it came to choosing which seats best fit for us so we were able to see all of the performers. It was a sold-out show indeed, but that did not hinder them from helping us choose the best spaces in the house. The overall experience of the show was that they were all very professional and did SUCH a fantastic job. I wanna give a shoutout to the Yoshi's Oakland team for being so hospitable, asking us what drinks were best catered to the mood of the show, and so much more. I have yet to try a dine-in experience soon, but I will save that for another review.

If you're coming to see a show at Yoshi's I'd recommend having dinner there before the show. It's a nice atmosphere and a blend of Japanese American food. On top of that, you can reserve a seat(s) in the theater and walk straight from your table to the theatre, instead of waiting in a long line outside. For appetizers, loved the Shrimp & Scallop Kakiage Fritter. A shrimp and scallop tempura blend drizzled in teriyaki sauce that compliments any of your cocktails or wine. Yes, I'm that guy! Every time I eat here, I order their Cheesburger as an entree. I know you're probably thinking, who orders a burger at a sushi restaurant. But trust me, don't sleep on their burger. It's always cooked to perfection, charred the proper way and juicy. You can't go wrong w/ any of their sushi rolls either. But then again, what do I know. I'm the guy ordering a hamburger at a sushi restaurant:)

Came here w/o a reservation and was able to be accommodated for 3. Reservations are recommended though! We had the Fried calamari & Hamachi Crudo for appetizers. I had the Miso Caesar Salad that's hard to stay away from especially with its fried wonton strips. It's not pictured because it didn't last. There is a roll pictured but I cannot tell you which one because I had moved onto dessert by then. I had a Yuzu Crème Brûlée and my daughter had the Beignets. The ambiance is romantic and lowly lit. I love how some seating is lower and slightly more traditional. Great place for an intimate setting imo.

We came here to watch the spinners with 12 other friends. I made dining reservations for 14 people at 5:30pm. We were watching the spinners at 7:30pm. Four of us opted for the Tokyo Omakase for $150. It was the right amount for 4 People. The hamachi was very fresh. There were a lot of Rolls. The lychee Tini was very good a bit on the pricey side. Since we dined there, our seats at Yoshi's were Very good. Near the back row in front of the band but in an elevated row. Even the main singer came by singing and high 5ing us!
