    This restaurant was the best food I have ever eaten, and according to my son, it was the best restaurant ever. He said the fillet mingon was amazing, and buttery. I loved everything that we ordered, and my family agreed. Shoutout to our server, Eric, who was the nicest and most polite server in the world. He even asked the manager to give him permission to show us the different types of wagyu, which was amazing. Best restaurant ever!

    Pabu Izakaya is an absolute gem for fine dining complete with creative Japanese Izakaya dishes, an exquisite list of cocktails and a uniquely decorated atmosphere. The sushi and rolls are top notch. It reminds me of one of my favorite San Francisco restaurants Albert Tordjman's The Flying Saucer which sadly closed in 2000 and I have found this wonderful SFO reincarnation. Highly recommended if you visit San Francisco and looking for a unique and fine dining experience,
