The angel hair didn’t have enough sauce and lacked flavor, In general this was a disappointing meal. The chocolate desert was the only excellent dish.

Been a steady customer since Yoshi opened its doors, and still am! The food is sublime, the service attentive without being intrusive, the manager was kind and accommodating but the food remains the star! Thank you, Yoshi, for proving a restaurant opened before its time, can keep up with popular demand and offer creativity, freshness, and the most delicious sushi in the Bay Area!
