Great experience! Haven’t had Chamorro food outside of Guam so it was a pleasant surprise. Love the vibe of the place and the quality of the food. Only thing was they asked if we wanted chili and it ended up being four dollars without informing us there was a charge.

I've been to Guam several times for business. I love Chamorro food. A friend who knows my passion for Guam wanted to go to this restaurant. The food was Ok, but the portions were small and prices Wow. The atmophere and service were quite good. I can see how others would really like this place. However for me, who has eaten a lot on Guam. I found the food lacking and the prices high.
As good as it gets. An underrated cuisine executed to perfection. Highly recommend the brisket, the pork belly with veggies, the various sakes and the banana/ dough desert with the ice cream. Cheers and ty for having us ?

this was the best accidental find I've had in a long time. when we found out that original lunch destination was closed, q quick Google search led us to Prubechu. the menu looked interesting but nothing could prepare me for the culinary experience on which I was about to embark. the flavors and mouth-feel of the food were so intense and so unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. "Guamanian food? what's that?" I soon found out. the Chamorro sweet rolls are a must have. they are like clouds of happiness. the empanada shells were so flaky and tasty... also a must have. I also really enjoyed the roasted yams. I don't know how they got them so soft and fluffy while maintaining their shape. Guamanian magic!! if I lived in San Francisco, I would work my way through the entire menu.the service was just as good (or better) than the food. they were exceptionally inviting and friendly. they even explained a little bit about their culture, which was delightful.

Really excellent. A unique, hard to describe flavor profile of menu options. There is only limited indoor seating so bundle up and expect to eat outside if you go there. Service was outstanding.Vegetarian options: There are some good vegetarian options, like the yams. The restaurant is pretty meat heavy though.

SO DELICIOUS. Loved the food and the vibe. Kind servers. I would love to come back here :)
This is an extremely casual restaurant, but the prices are outrageous! At some point in time you start to feel as though you’re being taken advantage of. Staff was incredibly nice. It’s unfortunate because I don’t think I’ll ever go back because I was so taken back by the prices. One eggplant $16, sweet potatoes $30. Ribs 4 total $27. This insane pricing along with the fact that you’re sitting on picnic tables is just too much. I wish them well, but they really need to rework their pricing structure.

As a fan of Chamorro cuisine, I was thrilled to find a restaurant that serves classic dishes from Guam and the Mariana Islands with a creative twist. Chef Shawn's passion for his heritage and dedication to using local and seasonal ingredients is evident in every dish.The standout dishes for me were the Beef & Potato Empanada and the Mushroom & Cheese Empanada. The flaky crust and savory filling were a perfect combination. The Fried Brussels Sprouts with chimichurri were also a hit, adding a nice crunch and tanginess to the meal. We also couldn't resist trying the Gulf Shrimp Kelaguen & Titiyas, and we were not disappointed. The ceviche'd shrimp were bursting with flavor and the titiyas were a perfect accompaniment.One dish that really stood out to me was the Pika Tamales Gisu & Fried Egg. The combination of rice, corn, and achote steamed in a banana leaf was unique and delicious. The fried egg on top added a nice richness to the dish. We also tried the Chicken Kelaguen & Coconut Titiyas, which was another flavorful and satisfying dish.To top off our meal, we ordered the Iceberg Wedge & Wasabi Ranch, which was a refreshing and garlicky-chilli treat. Overall, Prubechu offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for something new and exciting. I can't wait to go back and try more of their creative and delicious dishes.

you won’t be disappointed by the food here but portions were tiny for the price. service was pretty good but felt like they tried too hard to upsell us, cheapening the experience. overall, would come back only if i had an unlimited budget but there are better spots in the city.mushroom empanada: great textures and flavor. loved the accompanying dip.ko ko wings: impressed by the unique flavor and was well fried. vinegar like dip paired well to add some liquid. pricy.chicken kelaguen: unassuming looking taco but packed with flavor. simple but still hit the spot.banana donuts: top tier dessert, bananas well fried without too much dough and the whipped cream was some of the best i’ve had (i don’t usually like whipped cream)mulled wine: skip this, nothing special

Ate here on a company dime, so take my review with a grain of salt. It was really good and stylish food, served in a very fancy presentation. Everyone seemed to like the yams best.

Delighting my way through Prubechu’s menu with each visit. Delicious takes on traditional dishes or added freshness to American favorites with Chamorro spicing. Memorable food from an accomplished kitchen. Kind and knowledgeable service. Lovely atmosphere. A gem at 18th and Mission with indoor and outdoor seating ample with leafy plants and fabrics that evoke Guam. I could mention the eggplant dish or the grits or anything really because nothing disappoints. Clear favorite.

Every single dish we tried was phenomenal (chicken kelaguen with coconut titiyas, roasted yams, shrimp and grits, and the pika tamales). I kept thinking whatever I was eating was definitely my favorite of all, until I tried the next thing. Cozy and delightful covered patio space. Excellent service. Can’t wait to go back.
