Limited outdoor dining is available on the sidewalk, weather permitting. We are located six blocks from the downtown Berkeley BART station. Ample street parking is also available. Our accolades include Michelin Michelin-recommended list, San Francisco Chronicle's Top Japanese Restaurant in the Bay Area, Eater SF 38 Essential Restaurants in the East Bay, Esquire's Best New Restaurant in America 2021, San Jose Mercury News The Bay Area's Best Restaurants 2022: The Top Ten, and many more.
Yoshi's has served Japan's best traditional dishes to Bay Area patrons since 1972. The menu highlights artfully arranged sushi, fresh grilled seafood, classic Japanese dishes, and vegetarian fare. Patrons can kick off their shoes in the traditional Japanese tatami seating or dine at tables. Expert sushi chefs create sushi and sashimi to order either in the restaurant or in the jazz house. Start the evening in the cocktail lounge before dinner or have a nightcap after taking in a show in the jazz house.
Hello Gorgeous, At NōKA Ramen, our mission is to introduce Bay Area with our “Hakata” Tonkotsu style — creamy and rich pork broth; pairing with HOMEMADE artisan noodles — smooth, firm and bouncy texture; using Japanese techniques to deliver our guests the golden experience. Come for noods, stay for cocktails!
