Kiraku is a Bay Area gem that transports guests to Japan with its cozy, 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 staff is attentive, and the sweet potato brûlée is a must-try for dessert. The izakaya vibes are authentic, featuring 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. Guests should note that it can take a long time to be seated, sometimes up to 2 hours, but the wait is often worth it. Expect to spend around $50-75 per person for a satisfying meal of small dishes and a big entree. Kiraku is a place where every penny spent is justified by the delightful flavors and busy dining atmosphere, making it one of the best izakaya spots in the Bay Area.
