The venue combines a full restaurant with a nightly jazz calendar and private event space at 510 Embarcadero West, in the same waterfront district as Oakland's ferry terminal and shops. Yoshi's own website, yoshis.com, carrying a 2026 copyright notice, lists reservations, a calendar of shows, gift cards, and a private-events option, with a listed phone number of (510) 238-9200. Visitors can also join the venue's mailing list directly from the homepage, and the site links out to the club's social-media accounts for show announcements.
