"This was a very conflicting experience, to start the interior was very modern yet warm and comforting, I love the open kitchen concept. The service was excellent but the food. The food was disappointing, all of dish was well cooked but it was not memorable. It feels like it is missing something. The chicken katsu was tender but it was missing the texture, the crunch and I expected a more sophisticated sauce for this level of restaurant. The potato was well cooked but again the sauce, it didn’t not enhance the dish, it tasted rather bland. So is the green beans, very well cooked but not enough flavor. The spicy noddle could be placed in better functional bowls and there was just a lot of different things going on. The cheesecake was really delicious and light but the ends was slightly burnt and bitter. The matcha cookies had a surprise chocolate insert but it was overall a bit dry. This restaurant has so much potential and it is a very lovely place to sit and catch up with friends. I saw group of people sitting and drinking tea and wine, so maybe it is a better bar than a restaurant. Overall, I would recommend for the experience but not for the taste."

Really solid meal, but ultimately underwhelming as a fancy night out and we felt like we tasted all the best things in a single meal so no need to go back.

We enjoyed the Pork Bao Buns, Katsu Chicken, Knife Cut Spicy Noodles, Fried Calamari, and Patatas Bravas, and everything was amazing! I would absolutely recommend it—10 out of 10!

Great atmosphere. Creative dishes that combine many different cuisines with great results. Portion sizes are very small, so this is a restaurant for trying foods, or for small appetites. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian and vegan options, note that portions are small View menu

Visited Pagu last Tuesday with Off the Beaten Path Food Tours and it was AMAZING! We each had cocktails (the Pica Pica packs a punch! and tried the Black Cod Croquettas and Patatas Bravas. The flavors were unforgettable, and so was the story about the meaning behind the name ‘Pagu’. Our servers were attentive and had a great working knowledge of the entire menu. Can’t brag enough about this place!

The restaurant seemed promising with its creative and unique menu, but unfortunately, the food fell short in terms of flavor and was quite pricey. We sampled several dishes: the hand rolls were just average and nothing special compared to what you would find at a typical sushi restaurant; the sucking pig, which I was eagerly anticipating, turned out to be quite disappointing; the salmon bowl consisted mainly of mushy rice; and while the pea bao looked appealing, I didn’t taste it. Overall, nothing was particularly delicious. The costs were steep, with the pig tapas for two people costing $72. What really frustrated me was the additional 4% "kitchen appreciation" fee that gets taxed—this was...
