Server

PABU Izakaya is a culinary delight created by the late Chef Ken Tominaga, of the famed Hana Japanese restaurant, and Chef Michael Mina. This unique take on the classic Japanese izakaya brings forth a modern take on traditional izakaya-style dining and continues to be a destination for world-class sashimi, sushi, and grilled meats from the robata with an expansive sake list and seasonal cocktail menu. PABU Izakaya features the finest locally and globally sourced jet-fresh seafood flown in daily from Japan’s famed Toyosu Market accented by its signature selection of A5 Japanese Wagyu. PABU Izakaya's allure derives from its old-world Japanese charm infused with urban sophistication.
