Very good place for Japanese food overall. The okonomiyaki was large and tasty, the sushi was delicious and fresh, very well executed. They made specific rolls that were not on the menu for us. Their drink options were ample and I loved their tea. I recommend ordering the yellowtail as a starter, the spicy edamame, the meat and the  miso soup to share. It is expensive but worth it. The atmosphere is lively and fun

Came to celebrate a “job promotion” during happy hour on a Saturday. They pulled out all the stops with a card and complimentary items. We came at 4pm. Service was so personable and all food items were fresh and fast. Saved some bucks on the deals but the $9 Unagi hand roll (regular price at anytime) was the showstopper.

Came here with some friends to ring in the New Year. I had a great time however acting looking through my bank statements, I was left with an incorrect bill that was not only purposeful but unethical. Our servers were Luis and Edgar.

Images are below - I had purchased 7 shots with a bill of $129.26 and left a $7 tip (7/shot). In that picture, I accidentally swapped the "custom tip" and "total" but was charged $264.46. One, I did not even write $264.46 and secondly, why would I tip that much. I am aware that the tip I wrote off is below the "expected gratuity" however I did not order food and these guys were tipped generously on a previous transaction from my table.

Another reason that I say unethical is because another server charged us for 17 sake bombs when we ordered 14. One of the servers came to our table to play a drinking game with a drink that we did not order but yet we were still left to pay for that drink. To us, it seemed like friendly customer service and that the drink was on the house.

Long post but needless to say, I will not be coming back here. The servers mentioned took advantage of me and my friends, that drove up North, for two hours in traffic just looking to have a good time.

Visited PABU Izakaya for dinner on 01/07/25. Good atmosphere. The music was a bit loud on my opinion, but if they are going for NY vibes with a touch of Japanese Izakaya the atmosphere could be appropriate.
Tokyo Fried Chicken Karaage was amazing with an amazing dipping sauce.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the "A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef". Great balance of flavor, fat and tenderness expected with A5 beef.
I also enjoyed the Yuuki beverage. Well balanced smokiness provided by the mezcal. I also tried the Meiyo, which had a good flavor however it wasn't of my liking.
I was very disappointed with the Ossume - Chef's Favorite Smoked-Bacon Mochi-Hand Roll. It was bland and the bacon flavor didn't come through.

Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely come back.
