Love this place. Our food was fresh. Service was superb. The ambience was excellent. We shared all of our food and ordered multiple appetizers and dishes. We did go on a Sunday. They had happy hour all day. Happy hour included wine, sake and appetizers. I thought it was such a great deal. We all loved our creamy miso soup. I would go back just for that. When it came to a table, we all looked at it and were iffy about it, but as soon as we tasted it, we all agreed that it is the best we have had. I will admit I don't remember all of names of the dishes, but the ones I remembered we got were the Hotline crispy gyoza, Pepper fin Miso vongole pasta and Kaisendon. We shared a key lime pie. The Keylime pie slices are little small, but after all our food, we were all full . We did all agree that the Keylime pie was missing the tartness we expect from Key lime. We were celebrating my birthday and they gave me a free glass of champagne. I wasn't expecting that, but it was a nice touch. They do have a record player with records available for you to choose from that they can play for you. The restaurant is located below Silos next to Orangetheory. If you don't know where it is at, it will take you a while to find it. It doesn't have a good sign. Parking is available, but shared with the other businesses. We had no issue finding parking

This place is so nice, I had to dine here twice in a 2 week span! If you've never been, highly recommend the tasting menu to try a variety of items. My favorite have been the gyozas, chicken karaage, gnocchi and Wagyu teriyaki. Service was also great both times. I'll definitely be back!

Everything was wonderful, and I mean everything. The waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations! The restaurant was dark and romantic, perfect for a date night. Everything we ate was so delicious. The quality of the food and the presentation were 10/10. I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes. Yozora did not disappoint!

Yozora might be one of the most intimate and thoughtfully curated dining experiences in San Antonio. The entire space feels cozy with indoor & outdoor seating. The listening bar concept paired with their state-of-the-art custom sound system makes the atmosphere feel immersive from the second you walk in. The music, lighting, and outstanding service all work together perfectly when you're trying to unwind and decompress after a long week. The lychee martini was smooth, refreshing, and extremely lychee forward. I really enjoyed how they garnished the drink with two whole lychees. I was in heaven and I can honestly say this was one of my favorite cocktails I've had in the city (Thanks for the recommendation Annabelle). Food-wise, everything felt elevated and pieced together beautifully on each plate. The truffle creamy miso soup was warm & comforting with just the right amount of depth and the Asian pear cucumber salad was perfect to cleanse the palate after the soup. The Hawaiian ono was another standout that absolutely delivered. That cilantro oil and the yuzu dance together well with the soft & silky ono. I also really enjoyed the scallop crudo, it also has cilantro oil but this time with ponzu foam. This combination was so good that I absolutely had no shame sipping the married liquid components on the plate between each bite of scallop. Lastly, the wagyu mochi gnocchi is unreal--rich, melt in your mouth mochi gnocchi, savory shrimp and tender wagyu, and this velvety sauce that's semi addicting. This surf-and-turf style dish with seafood and wagyu is where Yozora really flexes; every bite felt balanced, indulgent, and beautifully plated. (This particular evening the sauce on the mochi gnocchi was a touch spicier for me than the first time I visited but I enjoyed every last bite nonetheless). I went a little ham and didn't have room for dessert this time unfortunately. Next time Huge shoutout to my server Annabelle, who made the entire night seamless. My water never even got close to empty, her recommendations were spot on, and she somehow balanced taking care of the bar while still making her tables feel attended to. The rest of the staff even tag teamed service throughout the dining room which I always enjoy seeing. It says a lot about how well the staff and overall concept works together there. Symphony for the soul. Thank you again Annabelle and team for making the whole evening easy to enjoy and adding so much to the experience. Yozora absolutely lives up to the hype. Add it to your list of spots to keep coming back for.

What a wonderful Japanese restaurant with the freshest fish! I came in for a work dinner and was absolutely blown away! I will be honest I was initially intimidated by the menu because the names of the dishes were not what I was used to, but everything was incredible. I appreciate our waiter immensely because he was super patient and didn't rush us. I am a slow eater and being allowed to order and discover this menu was just what I needed. Every dish was honestly amazing. Usually at places there will be a star dish and I felt everything we ordered was stand out! The fish is extremely fresh, the sauces the dishes are paired with are bursting with flavor, and for the times that are cooked, like the octopus, they couldn't have made it better. The interior is simple and elegant and they have a vinyl record player with large speakers that give a great vibe to the place. Not to mention iron their taste in music really makes this place intimate even with the high ceilings. If you haven't been, stop by it's worth every hype and photo you've seen!

Absolutely love this restaurant! We are big fans of Shiro and heard that they had a sister restaurant and I knew we had to check it out. Sunday and Tuesdays they have a happy hour that is super good as well! We ordered a bunch of apps to share around the table. The edamame is so good, I ate almost all of it myself because it's that good. The gyozas are delicious as well. For my main I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento and it was so good, the noodles, the chicken, and the rice was perfectly cooked too. I loved the vibes of the restaurant with different records playing throughout the night. The waitress was super sweet as well. I definitely will be going back soon!

Food was great and I'd come back again for the food. The service was subpar in my opinion. They were gracious to squeeze us in on a busy evening. The waiter was not happy with us ordering more food even though we were still within our time "limit" and he made it quite obvious in his demeanor as we ordered. In addition, we did not receive a dish that we ordered even though it was charged on the receipt. Fortunately, the waiter was able to fix that issue without a fit. Overall, an uncomfortable experience which detracted from the wonderful food

Stopped in recently to finally scratch Yozora off my "to-try" list and I'm so glad I did! I stopped in on a Thursday evening and it was pretty quiet so we had no problem nabbing a table. For starters my friend and I shared the grilled chasu pork belly. Of everything we tried this was probably our least favorite dish (but that doesn't say much because it was still delicious). My friend also ordered the creamy truffle miso soup and YALL. That thing was so delicious that after she let me try it I had to flag down our waitress so I could order a bowl for myself. I would make a trip to the Dominion just for this soup alone and could 100% eat it by the bowlful if that was an option (hint hint Yazora team :P) For our entree my friend and split the large portion of wagyu teriyaki. This was another standout dish that knocked it out of the park for us and we were both fighting over the last bite of steak. It comes served with steamed rice, noodles, tuna, and more! Finally, for dessert we had to try the adorable (and delicious) bear shaped macaroons that come in flavors macha and chocolate. Everything about our experience was wonderful from the service, food, and ambiance. I'll definitely be back again!

These are the times where you find a place that you've heard of and haven't had a chance to go until now. And this is an absolutely must go. When going to the I10 location, you see a concentration of great restaurants and Yozora doesn't have the big lights. But this place is now one of my favorite places in SA. The flavors this place can create is next level and is absolutely beautiful. The interior has a cozy vibe essentuated with vinyl music throughout your meal. The other cool thing is that you can actually look at their collection of music and they will play it in the course of you dining there. We first had the charsu appetizer and this came with light onions and Parmesan reggiano. Being Asian, I would not have purposely poop it both together but it worked extremely well. I got a great recommendation for som sake from our server Rob and it paired perfectly with my meal. I had the wagyu toban rice, my wife had the binchotan Chilean sea bass, and my daughter had the karai octopus. Everything was amazing. Everything. The entire experience was amazing. To top off the evening, we wanted dessert and the only dessert available today was the yuzu Japanese citrus pie. We ordered one for the three of us and after our first bites, collectively, we knew we needed another serving. It was that good. It's one of the best desserts I've had in years. While writing this review, I'm still in awe on how great dinner was. I mean it's that good.

My friends and I visited Yozora for SA Restaurant Week and we were so glad we did! We've been to their sister restaurant, Shiro, in downtown so we knew that we'd like Yozora. We ordered the wagyu which came with a variety of side dishes -- every side complimented the buttery, flavorful beef so well! We also ordered a couple of cold side dishes which were also yum. Our server was very pleasant as well and came by throughout our dinner to check on us. Vibes were also vibing, it has a unique atmosphere and is described as a listening bar, featuring jazz and eclectic tunes. I'd definitely return to Yozora for an another girl's dinner date!

A true gem! Moody date night dining with the unique addition of their sound system and live vinyl music.

I knew I wanted to try this place out after hearing about it from a couple of coworkers. It did not disappoint. Besides the food, I was expecting the music to be a little more pronounced. It was drowned out by the sound of everyone. Next time I'd rather sit closer to the speakers to be able to enjoy the music. They had some jazz playing the entire time but couldn't decipher the music at the bar by the front door. My ear did catch a Miles Davis and Chet Baker tune. Onto the food, the waiters did a great job recommending a bottle of cold sake. I enjoyed it and it paired nicely with my meal. I will advise, they have no liquor license so no Japanese whisky. Here's what I had: -Truffle Creamy Miso Soup(yummy bits of burnt rice, nice texture, warm feel good taste) -Truffle Hamachi(bright and fresh, with there was more yellowtail as it was delicious) -Wagyu Toban Rice(this was the highlight. I could not finish it as I hit a food barrier but the egg yolk of the dish was mixed around by waiter before I could snap a pic. A bed of rice with a generous amount of small, perfectly cooked cubes of wagyu, and a well balanced amount of ikura(salmon roe)). Overall would definitely come back. Came here solo and I could see they had another area of the bar(3 seats) which faced directly into kitchen through a glazed viewing area. The tables were also all adorned with a lamp which helped create a chill mood. Saw lots of people show up in groups of 2-4. Come make the drive and give a try for yourself!
