    Amazing food and excellent service. The tuna tartar for the starter, and any entree, you won't regret it. The burger and truffle fries are some of the best ones you will have

    Seafood specials change often based on what's fresh, but tried-and-true favorites such as roasted Cornish game hen and a wagyu beef burger piled high with toppings are always available. Read more

    Yoshi's Cafe is a wonderful restaurant. Everything is delicious and is a testimony to Yoshi's years of experience and deft hand with ingredients. Try the Wagyu burger!! Friendly folks eat here!!

    Stopped by for Market Days. Smaller menu but still excellent. Had the tuna tartare tacos--loved them. Outside seating and service were great--recommended!

    Solid brunch, but only on Sundays. The French toast is top notch, but very rich.

    The room is reminiscent of a retirement-home cafeteria, and the menu has multiple personalities, but somehow Yoshi pulls it all together. Read more

    The wagyu beef burger here is insane. I ate the whole thing, and it was worth being extremely uncomfortably full for hours.
