Food from Guam? San Francisco really does have it all. This was my first time trying this cuisine and I was blown away. I did not know what to expect, but I got exactly what I needed: delicious dishes, great portions, and unconventional flavors that somehow worked perfectly together.

Sadly, I do not remember the names of most of the dishes, but I do remember the tinaktak. The handmade egg noodles had plenty of broth and the most incredible coconut aroma and flavor. It was next level. I could have had several bowls of that. The fried chicken was also 10/10.

On my way to the bathroom I caught a glimpse of the patio and the vibes were immaculate. I honestly wish I had eaten out there, especially since they had live music.

Such an insane spot. If I lived in SF, I would be there all the time. The servers were also very attentive.

This Chamorro Restaurant in The Mission is superb and delicious! The staff and chefs are so welcoming. My mija (daughter) and I shared CHICKEN KELAGUEN & COCONUT TITIYAS, BEEF & POTATO and TINAKTAK with homemade egg noodles. We savored each bite, I was in Guam food Heaven. I will definitely be returning with my hubby who served 2yrs at USMC Base Camp Blaz, Guam, USA.

I hate to say this and I very rarely feel this way about a restaurant, in fact I don’t even remember the last time I felt this way, but this was by far one of the worst dining experiences I have had. I will preface this by saying that Prubechu was at the top of my list of restaurants to try while visiting SF. I heard great things about it and was very excited to come here with my husband for our anniversary. Unfortunately, that excitement was met by the biggest disappointment. Here’s why:
After checking out the menu, our server explained to us that the fiesta table (tasting menu) is where the “chef brings out the best of the food” in 10 courses. It’s $96 per person for this option. We compared the regular menu items, which by the way already seemed unreasonably expensive ($25 for 5 chicken wings, $32 for a potato dish, $10 for pickles, etc), and we decided YOLO let’s do the feast. We were excited to go all out (it was our anniversary) and to try their cuisine. First course was a creamy potato soup. Very mediocre, and I was concerned at the decision we just made to spend $200 on dinner with this being the first course. Then a “Caesar salad”. Idk in what world that was a Caesar salad. Not that I care that it wasn’t a Caesar salad, but why are we calling it that? It was large chunks of tomatoes, very large pieces of frisée, corn, and a creamy dressing. Caesar? Also it was very lacking in flavor. Then they brought us a cheesy focaccia with super crispy edges (this was the best thing we ate there but how is that even Guamanian?) Then they brought one small shrimp tostada. For the two of us. It had an avocado cream base and cold shrimp on top. Very basic, kinda bland. At this point we asked the server for hot sauce, he brought us a (tiny) condiment cup of hot sauce and told us to use very little because it’s super spicy. He wasn’t lying, the entire dinner we consumed probably half of a teaspoon of the hot sauce (this is relevant for later). After that they brought us two tacos with cold meat and grated coconut. Again, not flavorful, and cold. Then the entrees: short rib and chicken wings. The short rib was surprisingly tough, we had a hard time cutting it. And the chicken wings had a nice crispiness to them but extremely overhyped. By now, we are absolutely shocked at what we had been served for the price they were charging. But I figured dessert may just fix all of this. Wrong. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with a little nut crumble topping sprinkled on top. That’s when I really felt scammed. $96 per person and you’re serving us a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert? That felt extremely lazy and disrespectful. And then get this – we get the bill and they charged us FOUR DOLLARS for the hot sauce. WHAT?!! We couldn’t believe it. We already felt the tasting menu was way too expensive for what they served, and then they can’t even give us a complimentary spoonful of hot sauce?? I have never felt more scammed in my life by a restaurant. My husband and I go out often and don’t mind spending money on nice meals, but this was beyond disappointing and the biggest waste of money. I genuinely have no idea how people are leaving such great reviews. I truly wish we felt that way because this was no cheap dinner, we only got 9 of the 10 courses for some reason, portions were small, horrible value, and just not good food. The only good thing at the restaurant was the service, the guys who served us were nice.

Highly highly highly recommend the tasting menu. It’s a type of cuisine you don’t often get a chance to try. You might as well get to experience the full range of it. And man did it deliver. Absolutely loved it and will be back

Prubechu has a really great vibe and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The chicken wings and coconut braised cassava were my favorites and the shrimp and grits where also delicious.

Phenomenal food, plenty of options for meat eaters and vegans alike. The staff are the absolute sweetest folks and I love to hear “hafa adai” when I come in! Their food is a little on the fancier side and not exactly fiesta style so be prepared for smaller portions but the flavors are fantastic. I love the bereghenas, sweet potatoes, iceberg salad and tamale. Friends love the kelaguen and I haven’t had a single complaint when I have brought people here for dinner. Sometimes they have live music and events as well.

Easily one of the most satisfying meals I’ve ever had. As someone who grew up in Guam, this restaurant captures the nostalgia that you’d expect from a Guamanian restaurant with a surprisingly elevated twist.

I had lunch there on a Wednesday and the staff was attentive but relaxed, which was so fitting for how things work in Guam. Nobody is in a hurry and it gave me a chance to just relax and enjoy the cozy outdoor patio.

I had the corn soup, koko wings, beef tinaktak, chicken kelaguen, red rice, and the banana donuts with fresh whipped cream. Yes, I ordered all of that, and yes, it was just me. Mind your business.

Every dish held a wonderful surprise twist that elevated it beyond my expectations. The corn soup was actually served chilled, which is SUPER non-traditional. Even in Guam’s humid heat, we eat corn soup piping hot in a crunchy, edible cup. This corn soup was refreshing and exciting with fresh corn and basil and a super crunchy topping that brought an insane texture juxtaposition.

The wings were crunchy and super juicy. The tinaktak was served over house made noodles, which is also not traditional, but it was delicious. The banana donuts had a crispy exterior with a gooey center and were served with fresh whipped cream.

Honestly I’m still reeling from this meal. This is a MUST-TRY if you’re in San Francisco.

Super good for eating out with friends, they have many big tables especially outside well spaced, cute atmosphere
Miche-nada is an excellent non alc drink
I found this food to be oversalted, really taking away from my ability to taste the flavors presented. Because what I was tasting was really good until I would be overwhelmed by salt. I would keep my eye out for this cuisine again and I really wish the food wasn’t so salty. The only thing I could really eat happily was the tinaktak and red rice. And the roll.

This review is so unfairly overdue!!! I’ve wanted to keep Prubechu as my little secret but they deserve more credit and I cant gatekeep any longer. Prubechu never lets me down. The staff? Phenomenal. The food? Out of this world. The vibe? So fun. I always bring out of towners here to show off the best of what SF has to offer.

This is absolutely the worst. This eggplant coconut cream dish I ordered for ‘lunch’ was $30 after tax and tip.

Gave me the worst headache so I couldn’t even finish the damn thing. I’m guessing they use jar-pickled eggplant – since sulfites are typically used to preserve.

Don’t recommend for vegetarians/vegans and never coming again.
