My wife Kim & I are very sad to hear about Yoshi's passing. We were very recently at Yoshi's Cafe on July 25th to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We got engaged at Yoshi's Cafe on March 8th,2014. Yoshi, his wife & staff made that life changing evening so memorable for us. We were very touched by the way we were treated by everyone there. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family,friends,staff & everyone who he had touched through his kindness,generosity & the love he had for his craft.
