I don’t want to leave this review because this place is already so difficult to get in. But man oh man. Kiraku is my favorite Bay Area restaurant. Let’s talk about why. For starters it feels like Japan, it’s small quaint and relatively simple in decor. And just like Japan they take the utmost pride in what they bring to you. The ingredients are always super fresh, the skewers are all full of flavor, the Uni spoon is the perfect mixture of richness from the Uni and Umami of the salmon roe. They have a corn fritter on the menu and it’s just wow. It is perfectly fried and hit with a precise amount of sea salt. Corn is always tasty but it shouldn’t be this good. The staff here are as perfect as you could ask for. Did I mention they have a sweet potato brûlée for dessert that will have you drooling. Go here. Put your name on the list walk to the nearest bar, grab some libations and get ready to be transported to Japan in the most delicious way imaginable. Thank you Kiraku!!!
Amazing spot. Everything is good and the service is incredible. The do not take reservations, but it’s worth the wait. Such a cool experience
It's rare for me to find a Japanese restaurant that excels in almost every dish, but this one truly delivers. The appetizers were especially outstanding; I found myself wishing I could order and try even more from their diverse selection. The fish for the sashimi and nigiri was fatty and fresh—absolutely no complaints there!
My fav izakaya in bay area over the years, the most authentic food and vibes, quick-changing seasonal menu. Never had enough, never be bored. Only thing is I wish the waiting line is shorter! Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Kiraku had a lively and friendly atmosphere. The food was amazing! The chef’s choice sashimi was very delicious. Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
