I came back to Yoshino after about a year, and I'm happy to say the food is still just as amazing. The chef is not only talented but also customer-oriented, which really adds to the experience. We came in during a slow time--midday--and there was only one other customer in the dining area.Service-wise, the servers were great. They checked in on us quickly, got our drinks out fast, and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely a big improvement from my last visit.The only issue I had was with the hostess. She looked young, possibly in her first job, and seemed unsure about how to prioritize customers. When we walked in, she was on the phone, which is totally fine--it's part of the job. But after she finished, the phone rang again, and instead of acknowledging us first, she took another call and spent a few minutes on it before finally waving us toward the self-seating area. Maybe that's how they train their staff, but from my experience as a server, we were always taught to prioritize the guests standing in front of us first.That said, the food and the kitchen team were excellent, and the servers were solid. A little more front-of-house training would make the experience even better, but overall, I'd still recommend Yoshino for the quality of the food alone.

I have been going to Yoshino for as long as I can remember! Every anniversary or birthday, it was our family go-to celebration spot. I do miss the yearly Polaroid picture I would take home with a birthday celebration, do they still do that? I'm not sure, but my food was delicious as always in my last visit!I usually get the fillet mignon and extra shrimp. And don't forget the Mai Tai to get that tropical vibe, even in winter time! Thanks again Yoshino, I will be back soon!

Came in on a Saturday right at opening hoping to try their shabu-shabu; however, with limited staff to accommodate, we decided to go with teppanyaki!The ambiance is honestly a vibe. Very moody lighting with cool seating/decorations. The interior was very clean! We were sat down within 30 minutes and our waiter was very attentive. I opted to get their Teppan scallops and it was cooked perfectly! I really enjoyed the fried rice! I feel like sometimes teppanyaki rice can feel heavy and overloaded with butter, but this one was just right! I'd come here again!!! I definitely will be back to try their shabu-shabu.

I went to Yoshino the week of Valentine's day and needless to say, they were slammed. I honestly felt so bad for the 1, maybe 2 servers with full sections, and don't believe that my experience was their fault. However, the food was great despite taking 30-40 minutes to come out. Drinks also probably took the same amount of time. The fried rice was probably the least impressive thing we ordered. I loved the setting and booth area, so my partner and I were at least comfortable! Again, the servers were doing everything they could, so I honestly thought that a manager should have been on the floor as well. I'd love to come again on a less busy day!

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Fresno. Can't say I wouldn't go no where else to eat Japanese food but when I do, I must say they never ever compare to Yoshino's. Yoshino's is the best Japanese restaurant in Fresno my opinion.

We came for the sushi. I don't think it's their forte but it was not bad.. just not what I was looking for.We order the spicy edamame. It was spicy mayo with chili powder. Not impressed. My son ordered the Ishi roll, he said it was ok. My husband ordered the sashimi roll.. it had spicy mayo on top. I ordered the rainbow. The rice had too much mirin, the construction was ok but it was on the soft side.Service was ok.. it was not busy and there was only one server on the sushi side of the restaurant. We came on a Sunday for dinner.Prices are high for the quality of the food, the service and the cleanliness of the place. Would I come again, probably not. We gave it a try because it was near the area we were at that time and the reviews were mixed.

We came in Saturday around noon. We were a party of 7, with our intention to have shabu-shabu, but with long wait times we opted to have teppan yaki--which was also a wait.Our teppan yaki chef was Ben, and he was excellent. I ordered the chicken and beef combo, with a side order of scallops. For teppan yaki you either get soup or salad (unlike other teppan yaki restaurants you get both), I opted for the soup. The miso soup had noodles in it, what a nice surprise! The fried rice was good (they don't add bacon) and not greasy. The food was good, our teppan yaki chef excellent, our waiter service was just ok.....

Wanted to try sea urchin today and I heard they served it here. I tried it, and unfortunately I was not a fan. It tasted like the ocean was in my mouth. I'm glad I got to experience it here though! Their signature rolls are really good! I also had the dragon roll which is tempura shrimp with eel on the outside. Good quality sushi! The people here are really friendly too.
