Very nice solo dining experience. They check you to see how you do it, but not so much that it interrupts the meal. Had the robatayaki omakase, a5 wagyu nigiri, and please lees panna cotta, the most refreshing dessert I have eaten all year round. And I ate a lot of dessert. Thanks for the meal.

What is there to say about the food here is totally stunning? Well, the decor is beautiful, the service is excellent and the cocktails are to die. Try the M Bison cocktail, which comes with an ice cube that gradually melts into the drink: it's really an experience. Ultimately, it's the food that sparkles. The sushi is exquisite, even the house salad had the feeling that it was the best salad we ever had. Of course, it is stunningly expensive. Definitely for a special occasion.

Definitely a treat at Pabu @pabusf Not an everyday place to dine, as it’s on the pricer end, but so good and worth it for a special occasion! ?? Had their MISO-MARINATED BLACK COD, which includes porcini purée, and roasted root vegetables. The fishwas super moist, melt in your mouth. CRISPY PORK FRIED RICE, has charshu pork, garlic, and scallion. A comfort food item. Had anice sticky texture, but not too much! KAISO SEAWEED SALAD, san baizu, sesame dressing, and lemon. Simple, well-seasoned,texture seemed better compared to other seaweed salads I’ve had. MILK CHOCOLATE-SESAME CUSTARD, with black sesame sponge,cocoa nibs, red bean mousse. Nice mouth-feel, not too sweet. Also had, but not pictured: AHI TUNA POKE, includes tobiko,scallion, crispy wonton. The crispy wonton is everything. TOKYO FRIED CHICKEN 'KARAAGE ', ginger-soy marinade, spicy mayo.Crispy exterior, moist meat inside. MAITAKE MUSHROOM TEMPURA, with dashi-soy dipping sauce. A little different from the usualshrimp and veg tempura, a nice change.

Omg. This place literally ruined all other sushi for me. It was SO good and SO fresh. Worth the price you will pay for a meal. I wish I lived in San Fran so I could eat this more often. It was the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. Amazing serviceas well. Will. be returning next time I’m in SF for sure.
