About

PABU is a culinary delight created by Chef Ken Tominaga, of the famed Hana Japanese restaurant, and Chef Michael Mina. This unique take on the classic Japanese izakaya has been modernized by Tominaga and Mina as a celebration of world-class sashimi, sushi, grilled meats from the robata, and a modern, seasonal cocktail menu. PABU features the finest locally and globally sourced jet-fresh seafood flown in daily from Japan’s famed Tsukiji Market accented by its signature selection of A4 and A5 Japanese Wagyu.

Cenote Restaurant
In the fast-paced and highly demanding neighborhood of downtown San Francisco lives a little place to pause, cheer, and enjoy a vacation of the mind, belly, and spirit.

A tropical destination with life-giving properties; a geographical watering hole.
