    We all loved every dish and experience me and my friends had at Yoshis Cafe. I always wanted to go there because it was Japanese-French fusion restaurant and you never see this type of restaurant in Chicago. My favorites were the oyster shooter and the cream of mushroom soup. I’m so excited to take my family and friends to Yoshi’s Cafe!

    Food was lovely, the server was a little overwhelmed as they were short a few staff due to COVID. Still tipped 20% cause we're in a panny boys and girls.

    very pleasant restaurant. Not a large menu, but everything was well prepared and tasty. The service as spotty because it was a busy night and there seemed to be only one server. We were not in a hurry and the time between courses worked to our advantage for the most part, but overall the pace was too slow.

    Wonderful brunch venue - food is tasty and meets expectations; ambience is open and light; staff is helpful and efficient. Enjoyed the Restaurant Week brunch special with Japanese fried chicken, grilled radicchio salad and soft omelettes on tomato butter pilaf. Took the desserts home since we were so full. We will be back!

    The food was great and the service was fantastic! I usually don’t eat burgers, but I couldn’t pass up the Wagyu, which was amazing. My fiancée had a seafood dish, which was also phenomenal.

    Thanks so much! Glad you both enjoyed.

    Tuna tartar, and mushroom soup were divine! Bronzino was very good. Duck l’orange was okay. Cocktails were good, and service was very friendly and attentive
