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!

My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal experience at Sushi Hon last night. We did the chef’s table, omakase experience, and absolutely feasted. Every single sushi dish was so thoughtfully curated and incredibly delicious. The meal was paced very nicely, and the amount of food in total was perfect for me, although my girlfriend was pretty stuffed by the end of the meal. They brought out a cheesecake slice as a surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday, which was very sweet. I also got a piece of my favorite sashimi as a surprise at the end of the meal. Our sushi chef Yong was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful. We would love to come back sometime

A very solid Sushi/Japanese experience in a relaxed setting. No complaints on anything and the cocktail menu/bartender made us some great drinks.

Cocktails were incredible ! They were on a level above vast majority of cocktail bars.

Soba Ichi mills and cuts handmade ni-hachi buckwheat soba for a dinner counter in industrial West Oakland. Cold tenseiro with tempura or hot kamo nanban, plus sake poured in the overflowing style, reward a focused noodle night.
