Always friendly and welcoming- only downside (and also an environmental upside)- digital menus, although they have paper ones by request. Such a friendly place, we always feel welcome- the charcoal morsels were off the hook good, and such a wonderful staff!

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!

Such a great and memorable experience! Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and they really took care of us. They even gave us some free drinks for my friend's birthday. We enjoyed the omakase so much that we want to do it again next time. Definitely recommending it to all my friends. its a must!
