EVERYTHING about our experience was top notch! Reuben, our server was welcoming, informative, funny and just the best we’ve ever had! The sampler of A3 and A4 Wagyu was enlightening. You really do have to eat them in that order to appreciate the difference. It does leave you wanting the A5 next time! All the staff made our dining so wonderful!

I had this one on my list for quite some time and am so happy I finally got to experience it. I loved the food and felt that the value was very good for the quality and portion sizes of the food. The server was friendly and kind but the service felt a little bit disorganized to me. It took us about 15 minutes to be greeted after we sat and once we finally decided to ask a staff member for service, the server was pleasant but seemed very rushed. My husband and I had both ordered a drink, a roll, and the hot stone wagyu and because the table was tiny we asked to have our rolls first and then the wagyu so that everything could fit. We got our wagyu, then our drinks and then our rolls and nothing really fit on the table. I don’t fully blame the server though because it was pretty loud and cramped in the dining room in general. I loved the food and will absolutely be back but next time I would probably sit at one of the high top tables toward the front of the restaurant because when we were walking in and out of the place it seemed a lot quieter over there. Overall it was great but if you prefer a quiet spot I would recommend you order takeout from here.

One again, our experience at Pabu was amazing! We were greeted warmly from the start, and manager Gabriel walked us to our favorite table where he proceeded to treat us to flutes of champagne to celebrate our 25-year wedding anniversary. From there, the night got better and better with every bite and every sip. Our martinis were spot on, our server Will was fantastic, and manager Stanley took the time to come by to congratulate us. We finished the evening with two glasses of dessert wine, again compliments of Gabriel. Pabu is by far our favorite restaurant in San Francisco!

Outstanding as always. I first dined at Ozumo soon after it opened in 2001, and it's always been a fine experience. Great service from courteous, well informed staff, and wonderful food. Last night it was a great mix of a la carte nigiri and robata, set off with a great Junmai Daiginjo sake. And the venue is gorgeous.
