Yoshi’s is a standout when it comes to authentic Japanese cuisine. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The decor is sleek yet cozy, offering the perfect environment for both casual meals and special celebrations.
The menu at Yoshi’s is packed with options, but the sushi is what truly shines. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and each piece is prepared with attention to detail. Whether you’re enjoying a classic California roll or a more adventurous specialty roll, you can taste the quality in every bite. For sashimi lovers, the selection is extensive and always perfectly sliced.
Aside from sushi, Yoshi’s also offers a variety of other Japanese dishes, like ramen and teriyaki, that are equally impressive. The service is top-notch—attentive but never overbearing, and the staff is knowledgeable about the menu, always ready to offer recommendations.
If you’re a fan of Japanese food, Yoshi’s should definitely be on your radar. The combination of amazing food, great atmosphere, and excellent service makes it a must-visit spot. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or new to Japanese cuisine, you’ll leave Yoshi’s feeling satisfied and eager to return!

This is easily my favorite music venue in the Bay without a doubt. My wife and I used to live in Oakland and could walk here. And we would go once a month at least. First of all, the food is phenomenal. Most live music venues are not known for their food. But the sushi, ambiance and service from this restaurant are top notch. If you make a reservation for food before the concert, you often get priority seating too. The music venue is in a separate room inside the restaurant. Once you enter the music venue, it is small and close knit. There are no bad seats in the house. Bartenders will serve you drinks and food during concerts as well so you never have to leave your seat. I was shocked at the list of artists that come into this place. Artists that can probably fill up stadiums and arenas perform here. Depending on the artists, it can turn into a party. I’ve seen the audience get up and dance in their seats on plenty of occasions. And the ticket prices are decent. This place is a must try! It’s easily what we miss the most from Oakland.

Food was very mid. I got recommendation from a friend saying the place has good atmosphere and food. The atmosphere part was true, but not the food part: if you like “white people sushi”, then this place is for you. But if you know what authentic Japanese sushi culture looks like, pls don’t come. They don’t even know how to make proper nigiri and maki(sushi roll). The roll came in looking like it was rolled over by a car. I watched the sushi chef making them and they don’t seem like they know their job well. Please train them properly.

Great place to hear live music. The service was to slow for a busy night. We ordered a bottle before the show. We didn’t get our wine until 30 mins towards the end of the show. We had to finish our bottle in the lobby.

Overall, nice place! Very fast service and nice ambiance. Seating is pretty close together though.
There were a lot of items on the menu I wanted to try. We meant to go to the jazz show after dinner but my boyfriend accidentally ate crab (his fault! He didnt read the menu right.) so we had to run around town seeking Benadryl.
The food was good, but I wasn’t obsessed. The veggie roll was very thick with rice and the ginger was surprisingly very very mild. The mushrooms were good but unseasoned so the entire dish was a bit bland unfortunately.
The tempura avocado + tofu was very flavorful and good. I would serve the sauce in a separate bowl as the tempura got very soggy very quickly and mushed into a paste.
The sprouts were good and the rest of the sushi was beautifully plated. My boyfriend loved his sushi! He especially liked the Cali rolls (which he confirmed DOES use real crab – oops!)
I’d come back to try other menu items and hopefully actually see the jazz! I stocked my bag with Benadryl so I’ll be prepared 😉

Had dinner at Yoshi’s for a fundraiser event with all you can eat buffet. It was delicious – Kobe beef, tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, hamachi sashimi, assortment of other entrees and appetizers. The minus 1 star was due to the assortment of sushi was underwhelming.

We attended Tower of Power Back to Oakland residency – the band was off the chart amazing! Venue is intimate and service was great considering how busy it was that night. I personally loved seeing the train go by our window as we were dining because of my family history in Oakland. It’s a nostalgic sound to me and not loud at all. Food is I would say better than expected not a 5 star restaurant but we did not expect that. They make a great martini! And the music venue is really enjoyable we had a table right near the stage. I would say get premium tickets and eat at restaurant to ensure great seats and service we had no issues whatsoever.

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
