Pa'ina Restaurant & Lounge

Had a great dinner with friends here! Especially liked the chicken wings and crab bao. This place is great for large groups and has good vibes. They also have a karaoke room! Located right in SF japantown

My friends and I went for dinner and got the combo meal! Lots of dishes were pitched as shared food. We got the platter for 4-6 people. They accidentally gave us the fish combo platter for up to 10 people, which was an extra $50, but when we told them it wasn’t what we ordered they took it away. Hopefully they didn’t toss it! They also ran out of spare ribs so just gave us some other meat. Very meat heavy. Almost no vegetables.

Overall the food was really good! Favorites of mine were the nachos and the mac and cheese. Not impressed by the loco moco and the bathrooms could definitely be better maintained. Good for groups (it seems like it was mostly large parties plus a private party) but our reservation was at 6:30 and the food started arriving at the table at 6:30 ON THE DOT. Less than half of our party was there at the table. It’s nice that they’re timely but that’s super weird to me.

Stopped by for a quick happy hour around 6 pm. You can book the waiting list on their website ! Didn't have to wait too long (under 10 mins). Came here for the 25c wings on Wednesdays. Such a good deal! Service was nice. Our waitress frequently checked in on us. Wings come in a bowl of 6 so it’s $1.25 for each order. Lychee-Tini was sweet and not too strong. Poke nachos was an odd flavor pairing. Individually it's complements would work well together. They have different happy hour promotions each day. Fun spot with friends or family.

Walked past her with my family and saw they have $1 oysters (Thursday only & at 5-7pm). We came in and ordered some drinks & 2 dozens of oysters. It was so good that we ordered another 2 dozen but the waiter misheard me and only gave us 1 dozen. We also waited about 20 minutes or more for the 1 dozen of oysters... This place is a great deal for some oysters but it took way to long. Overall Rating: 9/10
