Rajio Public House - Vancouver, British Columbia

I really did not care for the sticky table surface. And the whole time we were there, there were flies in the premise. The food was alright albeit on the pricy side. The eel skewer was really tasty. However, since the texture of the skewers is mostly the same and the ... sauce is also the same, it gets kinda boring after a while. The restaurant filled up quickly after they opened at 5:30, so it’s best to make a reservation. Lots of references to Japanese culture icons in the 80s. Read more

Ok food at an affordable price. The kushikatsu sampler is good value. The uni-bonara udon was pretty tasty. The pressed unagi sushi wasn't good. The scallops carpaccio tasted quite fresh. All the tables are quite small, which makes it very awkward to fit all the food and drinks. Ours was also ... crooked and sticky. The rustic public house vibe tips over to the point of shabbiness. The menu seems very randomly put together. Read more

Very impressed by Rajio Japanese Public House! Brought us back to our travels in Japan. As a sister restaurant to Raisu and Suika, it maintains a traditional izakaya vibe, complete with authentic food and a lively atmosphere. We walked in with no reservation around 6 pm and were seated immediately, though ... by 7:30 pm it was bustling. The menu offered a fun twist on traditional dishes, including their specialty, kushikatsu deep-fried skewers. Everything we ordered was delicious and well-priced. The drinks menu was unique, they have large rotating specials sheet, and the pre-fixed set has generous portion and good variety. Highly recommend! Read more

A good place for Kushikatsu. I really like the eel Kushikatsu since it is the first eel that can melt in my mouth! We forgot to take pictures for pork cheek which has a really good taste. Pineapple drink is not that sweet but try to dig some real pineapple ... from the pineapple container you will find it is really sweet! Read more

Went to @rajio_japanese_public_house for a birthday celebration and tried their kushikatsu and a few other dishes. It was pretty fun to eat but my fav was probably their rich uni-bonara udon. It was so rich! If you aren’t sure what to order for kushikatsu, they do have a list of ... fan favourites on the wall so check that list out. We tried all of them and they were all delicious! Their fruit punches were beautiful but the alcohol was very diluted so didn’t taste it at all. Read more
