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.

    I guess the food is good but it’s difficult knowing how much I enjoyed the food pre pandemic. The quality has gone down and the cost way up, not to mention the level of the service is average at best.

    It’s been a while since I’ve dined at Yoshi‘s. I enjoyed a very flavorful dining experience. Started with my favorites, the temporary vegetables. This was served as our choice for an appetizer. I’d really enjoyed the plank salmon. So flavorful, cooked through and a very healthy option for low-carb diners. I drove two hours to Yoshi‘s so I didn’t order any alcoholic beverages. I opted for a ginger beer based cocktail and it was incredible! Long live Yoshi’s! I’ve been going to Yoshi‘s since it’s first establishment in Berkeley.

    We had an awesome server name Summer. Pork Chop was a bit dry...Black Cod was perfect. My man loved the Toddy and Marcus Miller and company were the BOMB.
