Yoshino's Japanese Restaurant

Exactly the kind of restaurant we felt we could duck into for comforting Japanese food on a local weeknight. The sashimi combo dinner set meals are good but we especially enjoyed the nigiris and we look forward to coming back.

The food here is really good. Honestly a bit of a hidden gem. I do wish the music was more authentic but the volume of it is low enough to make this a relaxing, calm eating experience. I ordered a sashimi entrée and it didn't come with the salad, but the waitress was kind enough to bring it out once I showed her the menu. Getting a side or rice with the entrée is also a nice change from other Japanese restaurants. My one complaint may be the price, but I did order a sake that was 18 dollars alone.

Authentic restaurant run by Japanese people. My son ordered Katsu-don and I ordered Chirashi. The seafood toppings were all fresh and good. I did not pick up on the smell issue someone mentioned in the review. The atmosphere was very friendly and the service was good. For some reason, they could not make plum wine with soda (very typical drink in Japan), so I had to order plum wine and Perrier. But otherwise, we had a nice dinner.

Solid place with very good food quality and taste. A must-try! The nigiri-sushi is pretty good too Also, very cozy

We’ve come here for decades… It’s our go-to for Japanese in the greater Hillcrest / Mission Hills / Bankers Hill vicinity. Right near the airport, it’s convenient for travelers picking up rental cars nearby. I’ll try to remember to snap some pics and add them here in future visits. Stan favorites: > edamame > goyza (theirs has a nicely spicy dipping sauce — might be able to request less(?) > teriyaki + tempura bento boxes are wonderful! > specialty rolls: + partial to Spicy Crunchy, Rainbow Rolls,.. and more!! ENJOY!!!

Authentic Japanese food, great service and friendly people! We’ll be back!!💕

Mom and pop eatery. Good service and food is fresh. Price is decent for the quantity and quality. Sashimi on the roll rainbow roll was thin. I really hate the fake crab meat and cooked shrimp in the Chirashi. Small slices of sashimi in the Chirashi. Sushi rice vould use more vinegar. Soft shell crab tasted old, fishy like taste, as in been in the freezer for a while.

The restaurant itself has a nice and calm atmosphere, with traditional izakaya vibes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing and of great quality. There's a lot of variety in the menu as well, so there's bound to be something for everyone, and at a great price!
