Time Out San FranciscoSeptember 3, 2014The calendar of jazz performers both well known & up-and-coming is the main attraction here, but the extensive menu of sushi & other Japanese specialities doesn't disappoint. Book in advance. Read more
This is absolutely the best venue in the city to see music. Great sound quality, comfortable setting, limited capacity, and reasonable ticket prices (fees are way less than other vendors).
Nicholas JerabekSeptember 22, 2013If you're going to a concert here, make sure you get to your seats early as, although they're reserved, you may still be slightly separated from your party if you show up late.
Crispin McCabeFebruary 3, 2012Strangely enough, my first time seeing a show here. Nice room, great sound, drinks are a bit pricey($7-$8 a beer), FYI. A good place to see a show though, upscale though.
Shagun AulakhNovember 5, 2014It's actually no longer Yoshis, but now known as The Addition. Live music...usually had great jazz and R&B live acts. Food in the restaurant section is ok, but music is the key draw
Diego RomeroOctober 25, 2013One of the Best sushi places I have been. Sushi + live jazz! Order the sakaratini and ant roll!
MazdaOctober 26, 2010Started as a Japanese restaurant in Berkeley by Yoshi Akiba, a World War II war orphan, (who came to the U.S. to study dance, art, and dance therapy) and her friends Kaz Kajimura and Hiroyuki Hori.
CraigMarch 30, 2014Get here early to snag a table -- it's 1st come, 1st served for general admission.
Emmy AliceNovember 26, 2013Excellent jazz club ambience but with more space. I highly recommend this spot.
Allie WildingJanuary 2, 2012Just saw Maceo Parker here and I'm trying to figure out why they didn't open the area for dancing in front of the stage. Weird venue for a funk band in that regard. Good music, good CA rolls.
If you love Jazz, you gotta pay homage to seeing some legends, great place for live music.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Chef Armando Justo eats here on his nights off. He loves the Omakase. Read more
Rock SakéOctober 17, 2011Order the Saketini Cocktail with Rock Saké for the perfect start to an evening of jazz.
DJ Latin Prince ✔ December 23, 2011When I come to the bay area I come to Yoshi's & order Saketini Cocktail with Rock Saké..
Like a dark and stormy? Get a stormy weather tobdrink here. Good stuff. Like Bermuda with a twist of Asia in a glass.
Top Wines By The Glass: La Tunella Pinot Grigio and Simonsig Chenin Blanc!!! Give them a spin...
Paige BiermaDecember 31, 2009No cover in the lobby bar though sometimes there is live music out there too. Great sushi and drinks spot, no waiting!
Joseph BalancioOctober 9, 2014They get bought out. Officially closing down for renovations Oct 19, but the music venue will still be open
Lily Chiu-WatsonSeptember 13, 2009the standing room tix are better than reserved/general seating because you're closest to stage!
Justin YoungSeptember 3, 2009Go to Yoshi's SF upstairs Sake Lounge, Fri or Sat, after 10pm and order the "10 for 10" special
