I told my server that I had celiac disease and even explained that meant that I cannot eat gluten, long story short, I was served gluten. I thought it may have been tamari but it was soy sauce. Then the manager argued with me saying, “I seemed fine” so I do not recommend eating here if you have allergies or celiac disease. They are incredibly careless.

A nice place if you like to have a drink and drink only here. The food is not for my taste. 白人饭 不好吃

Coming from San Diego, I had high expectation. The Public Izakaya did NOT disappoint, and if fact, raised the bar. I see myself coming back tomorrow and every time I find myself in the Bay Area. Was feeling sashimi, so went with the best of the best. Staff was as great as the food, and I was lucky enough to be immediately seated. I would recommend this to the most discerning Izakaya fans. Cheers, Public Izakaya.

The food was good overall. Unfortunately, it was unclear what items were vegan despite asking about it multiple times 😤. We ordered vegetable tempura, green gyoza, edamame, Philadelphia roll, and garlic noodle. The interior decoration was carefully curated 🖼 and had a great atmosphere! Lots of fun dishes to try, would recommend for a group.

Came here for a late night meal after a concert and we just couldn't stop eating. The food was perfect, portions generous, and the service was spot on. Can't wait to go back

Foods were just so so. Mediocre. Ambiance was old. Was having a hard time to find parking on street too. Husband said won’t be returning.

It says you close at 2 PM, but every time I come around 12:30, the place is already closed. I think it would be better to either update the hours or actually stay open until the posted time

It said close at 2:00 am! I called uber to get here at 12:30 am just to learn that they closed! There are still many customers but kitchen closed. Very disappointed! You should tell people when are you closing!

I want to share my impressions of visiting this establishment. I love Asian cuisine, and after seeing the rave reviews, I decided to go in. It was late evening, which was good, since the establishment was still open at that time. The cafe was completely full. We had to wait a long time for someone from the staff to approach us. Then I had to wait the same amount of time until they took my order. I'll say right away that the prices are high, the portions are small. The dishes looked so-so. I didn't like the soup, it's the first time I've seen Asian soup with American chips🤦🏼♀️ I've never seen such a mix. The rolls were made terribly, all different sizes, and fell apart immediately. tempura it was three shrimps. We never received the receipt, so we had to go to the cashier ourselves. The staff was disgusting. Our waiter had a dissatisfied face. I visited this cafe again, but the service was just as terrible. The cafe is not very clean, the shelves with decor are all dusty. I was left with a terrible impression after visiting this establishment.

this place is great but they don’t close at 2 like it says. They stop seating at like 12:40 sometimes and I think they should change their hours
Loved the Chicken Thigh and A5 Wagyu skewers. I like the chicken meatball but wouldn’t get it again as it wasn’t as tasty as the chicken thigh and had some cartilage bits in it. Would come back to try other skewers.

Everything was delicious, the fiery wagyu ramen was one of the best things i’ve ever eaten. Meat skewers were FABULOUS. A true hidden gem.

Awesome late night spot. Sashimi was good, service was great, lemon sours were cold. Not much more you can ask for!
