What User doesn't like about Rajio Japanese Public House:
Our first experience here was not good. Service was horrible. It was so bad it took me a couple of years to try it again. Very happy to report that this experience was completely different. Service was great. Very friendly staff - very friendly and helpful. We had an assortment of food - everything was amazing but the squid was to die for. The ribs were pretty good too (okay, really good). The gingerale was refreshin... View all feedback. What User likes about Rajio Japanese Public House:

Friendly service/ was going to give them a 3.5 but decided to give 3 because they kicked us out saying they have another party coming without telling us at

Sorry I'm still not a big fan of this placeI feel overall it was very mediocre.

"Emulating the feel of Osaka's shitamachi, Rajio visually impresses, though some find the kushi age pricey. Mixed reviews on food, with standout dishes like cheese tofu and Carbonara udon. Service is consistently praised, but some feel it's not worth returning. Cozy ambiance, unique Asian cuisine, and friendly staff make it a solid choice for smaller groups. Overall, Rajio offers a great spot for a variety of small dishes and drinks, with some hits and misses in terms of flavor and value.".

I had beef bibimbap, and it was quite salty. Additionally, I know kushikatsu is deep-fried, but it was still quite oily.
