About Kiraku

Kiraku is a cozy and authentic Japanese restaurant that transports guests to Japan with its simple decor and delicious dishes. The restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients, flavorful skewers, and standout items like the Uni spoon and corn fritter. With a quick-changing seasonal menu, there is always something new to try. The attentive staff provides a memorable dining experience, and the sweet potato brûlée is a must-try for dessert. Guests can enjoy the izakaya vibes and fabulous food, such as the black cod and pig ears. While the Uni pasta may not be for everyone, the overall dining experience is worth the slightly higher prices. Kiraku is a go-to for authentic Japanese small plates, offering a cozy and intimate atmosphere with warm lighting and a lively but not overwhelming dining environment. The staff is friendly, attentive, and great with recommendations, ensuring dishes come out at a good pace. Expect about a 30-minute to 1-hour wait time during peak dinner hours, but the delightful flavors and busy dining atmosphere make it one of the best izakaya spots in the Bay Area.

Super delicious 👍 I never eat Japan food super good like this before.

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. We went after probably 1.5 years and we were not disappointed. Above par food! They aim to please! And you will not come out of this experience disappointed. Had a lovely birthday dinner here.
