The music venue was good. The restaurant was meh; food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Multiple salads marked as vegetarian on the menu have meat listed as an ingredient.

Yoshi's is one of my favorite venues to go for great food and excellent entertainment. I love the fact that I can meet family and friends for dinner before the show. My mother and come here so much, we have a favorite server, Stephen.

This has to do with buying tickets for a Venue at Yoshi's. I have tried going on 4 years to get a Refund for a show that kept getting Cancelled at Yoshi's in 2021. I bought tickets to see the Fifth Dimension in May of 2021 and it was cancelled because of COVID. I requested a Refund after a year because when I tried to get a Refund thru my Credit card they would not Refund because Yoshi's said wait they show may get Rescheduled . I waited another year and during that time every 6 months I tried to get Refund and same thing happened, Yoshi's said show would be Rescheduled. I now am into my 3 rd year and I try to call Yoshi"s and they take no Voicemail or have a number to talk to someone. I am truly disappointed that Yoshi's keeps people's money for a show that never happened. Terrible customer Service, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE... I hope that it makes them feel very good to steal money from me. It comes to $208.94 and that is a lot to me. So PLEASE watch out for when you buy tickets from Yoshi's and a show is Cancelled... YOU MAY NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK LIKE ME!

I had the Brussels sprouts, edamame, and the banana nana na!!!! Everything was good, but what I didn’t like was when I paid with cash the waiter decided to keep the loose change even though they take a 18% gratuity! So I don’t have no problem with them having the change I have a problem with them not getting permission. So I advise you all pay with a card if you don’t like getting cheated out of your money!!!!

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.
