We were greeted on arrival and was escorted to our table immediately. I would highly recommend making reservations. The service was exceptional.I ordered 2 Hot small plates 2 Robatayaki &Ken's roll. I ordered only 2 plates at a time as I wasn't sure how my parents would enjoy this type of cuisine. Our waitress was very friendly and made recommendations and did not pressurize us to order more at...

always a good experience at pabu...food was exceptional however our server was not so much...she seemed to be quite busy and could have used some extra hands...wings were delicious as well as the rolls and scallop and tuna sashimi...will come back regardless of the service because the food is that good!

Disappointed

Heard such good things but got the feel of a
Chinese Buffet or something rather than a nice restaurant.
Menu had few selections- few roll selections after
Reading how wonderful sushi was:)
Server was polite but of little help when it came
To bridging the gap of small selection and guest
Desires.
Rolls were small and average when came to taste.
Not the worse dining experience ever but I don't...

Great food...only one problem

Getting in an out of the restaurant was an issue. It took 5-10 minutes to valet the car and 10 minutes for the valet to get the car when we left. And we had to drive separately so this service cost $20 before we even had a cocktail. That said, the food was very good and our cocktails were made perfectly. You shouldn't leave without getting the country ribs. They were worth the tip alone.
