- CConstanceVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •26 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI hadn't eaten there in awhile so had forgotten how good the food tasted. We had a lovely experience, didn't feel rushed and had plenty of time to get to the Jazz show. Great overall experience and I felt the it was really a good value.More infoYoshi's OaklandPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Oakland•4.6
- BBruceSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoMy experience at the restaurant was very good. Unfortunately the same can not be said about your reservation system.This is not the first time I found it to be janky! For instance when I enter my zip code or security code it tends to erase existing fields like Name on Card and credit card number. This is the second occurrence at this restaurant that I got bumped to a different seat because I had to fill in the fields multiple times.More infoOkenPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Asian• Oakland•4.9
