We visited on a Monday night for traditional dining. The Teppanyaki is very popular but we wanted something more traditional. When you call for reservations, be sure to indicate whether you want traditional or teppanyaki. Although it was a Monday night, I was told that only 5:30 and 7:00 were available. When I asked about traditional dining, all times were available. A gentle suggestion to the restaurant is to ask what dining is preferred before discussing available reservation times. My dining companion and I ordered the same thing, the Tempura Dinner. The vegetable and shrimp tempura came with soup, two salads, and rice (steamed or fried). The dinner came with sashimi but we were allowed to substitute a half order of sushi. We ordered the special California roll or cucumber, avocado, and snow crab. It was a lot of food! Our server was a delight. She explained that the restaurant buys sashimi frozen but uncut. The chef thaws the sashimi, cuts it, then refrigerates it. It is not refrozen. Yoshino has been around for decades. The shopping center is old and worn as is the restaurant. But the cuisine at Yoshino is authentic and fresh. Highly recommend the traditional dining.

Went recently for my aunt's birthday and went regularly as a kid. Super high quality service, and a superior dining experience to most places. Would recommend for a large group to enjoy the live cooking, birthdays, and celebrations. Not particularly suited for small children, due to the loud noises and open flames near the diners. Reasonable prices.
