Yoshis in Oakland

First visit to Yoshis and was not disappointed. Intimate venue to attend concerts from top smooth jazz artists in the country. Seats bit tight. Great burger and fries. Validated parking was a nice amenity. Look forward to a future visit.

The most amazing burger EVER!!! This place never disappoints, the service is stellar, the performances are intimate and the food is delicious and always fresh!! My burger was so yummy it didnt make the photos.

We ordered The snow crab roll and the shrimp fritters. We were told our salmon would be torched and it came out pink. The fritters and creme Brule and coffee were all outstanding. But our skewers were underdone as well and we had to send them back. Drinks were not the best. It may be time to revisit their drink and take notes from some of the trendier bars around town.Service and atmosphere are great. Our waiter Alex was really nice.

The mashed potatoes infused with shishito peppers was a revelation. I have literally never had anything like it. The lobster sushi roll was also tremendous. The flavor on the chicken thigh was muted, but it was paired with the mashed potatoes, so that was okay. The duck confit spring rolls fell flat, but the Kobe beef carpaccio was really good.Robin, our server was excellent, and the venue for the show was perfect. The ambiance and acoustics were amazing. I will be back soon.

Yoshi’s a one-of-a-kind experience that can only found in Oakland. Alongside the restaurant there is a venue where some of the best artists perform. food is amazing, and the atmosphere is brilliant. If you’re looking for a new experience to add to your date night, I would definitely recommend Yoshi’s and see who’s performing that week. I got the privilege of seeing MonoNeon and it has been by far the best show I’ve been to. Prices are affordable and location is great.

I cant recommend my dish of teriyaki bowl, no meat. There were giant chunks of carrots and broccoli with barely any sauce. My friend sent back her cold fries, and 45 min later, still no food. But the staff treated us well. The show was awesome, but unless you come in a group, you end up sitting with strangers. They always get great talent.

This is a classy place. Make sure to have reservations, especially since most folks come to eat then watch a show. I had some incredible scallops and took in a show on the weekend. It was amazing and loud! Only major downside is that its right next to the train so there is intermittent very loud noise.

Speaks for itself. Medium well pork chop with sweet potato, apple garnish delectably insane. Paired with one of their strong but good mojito cocktails my birthday dinner was MADE.

I love Yoshis. Ive seen some awesome people here. Repeatedly. The food is delicious, whether youre dining in the restaurant or eating at a show. If theres an artist that I like performing here, Im going to see them. I prefer the later shows...they feel longer.

Yoshis has been around forever as far as Im concerned... I was introduced to Yoshis as a Jazz Venue. I didnt know they hold all sorts of other shows as well. Its a great venue to come see a show. Cozy, with good views and a decent sound system and some very good performances...Just dont eat over here! While its nice to see the food is finally getting better, its far from good. At least its not as abysmal as it used to be. There are sooo many better options in the surrounding area, especially at the same price points. The drinks are pretty good though.#Adulting:~ zamani mojito - 4/5 - toki japanese whiskey, pineapple juice, lemonA solid creative Mojito, it does taste different, but in a good way.~ state of zen - 4/5 - roku japanese gin, lemon, cucumber, shiso leafA refreshing Gin Cocktail. Light & satisfying.Bites~ Japonese - 3/5A mediocre Sushi Roll. You can get something comparable at Safeway...I kid you not.~ DUCK CONFIT SPRING ROLL - 3/5Just a crispy fried roll. The name, the presentation and the description sound much better. Its OK, not bad, definitely edible, but nothing to brag about.Do yourself a favor, go eat elsewhere and come in a bit early for a drink or two then go enjoy the show. Your taste buds and wallet will thank you!
