- BBrianSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined todayMy wife and I are long time Yoshi dinner and concert fans, especially when Boney James comes to town. We first say him and his group perform at Yoshi’s in San Francisco many years. Since then, we always attend his Oakland Yoshi’s performances and it’s always a great dinner and show. So for 2024, thanks once again Yoshi’s for another great dinner and show. And we’re looking forward to many other great dinners and other great artist’s shows in 2025.
