The restaurant is located in central Mission, but the surrounding area isn't great. We were seated in their outdoor area that day, and although it's decorated nicely, you still feel pretty close to the streets with just the fence separation. This place overall is just alright. For a party of two, we ordered the tinaktak, chamorro sweet rolls, and the chicken kelaguen. The highlight was the chamorro sweet rolls but even then, they reminded me of Hawaiian rolls. Guamanian food is pretty rare to come by, and I don't have much prior experiences to compare to. The food was decent; the flavors were definitely there and seems Guamanian food has an emphasis on coconut. I don't love to mix sweet and savory which is pretty present in this type of cuisine. My bone to pick is the portion size and cost. Prices are so high for what you get! I left still feeling hungry. For these prices, I'd expect to leave full and satisfied but that wasn't the case. Unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

First time trying Guamanian food and it was so good! Ordered the Titinaktak, BBQ Pork ribs, and golai hagon suni (coconut-cream spinach with turmeric and lemon) to share and everything was delicious. Glad we ordered a variety so we could try some of everything, and even had some leftovers haha Food came out in a reasonable time and my friend and I were seated on the patio where live music was playing. Truly such a hidden gem in the Mission district. Also ordered some drinks which were the perfect refreshers to finish off brunch! read more

Our first time trying Guamanian/Chamorro food! We started with the caramelized potato and coconut milk soup that was delicious! The soup was so rich without any clear meat products and had amazing crispier on top. Savory and unctuous! The seasonal watermelon, heirloom tomato, endive, and burrata salad was excellent. Good balance of flavors and just enough salt to balance all the sweet flavors. The beef empanadas was served with fresh arugula, shredded Parmesan, and an acidic garlic sauce. The empanada was good but very simple. The next course was kelaguens, which are like tacos. The chicken was had a slightly burnt BBQ flavor that was so tasty! The gulf shrimp and crab was also very simple, but everything was fresh and brightened by the lemon. We're noticing that a lot of the dishes feature the same ingredients: shredded green onion, garlic aioli. The soft shell crab was fried perfectly and served over a great sauce. The ribs were also cooked extremely well, especially for pork. We also liked the seasoning and the addition of sesame seeds. The grilled asparagus and collared greens were excellent pairings. The achiote rice was very reminiscent of Spanish rice and was a nice supplement to the meal. We added the wings onto the Fiesta meal ($96 pp) and boy, were we glad we did. Those were listed as some of the best wings in SF by InfatuationSF and we agree. They were extremely flavorful, dry rubbed with turmeric and a bunch of other flavors. Fried perfectly. Excellent wings a must-order if you come here. The strawberry sorbet at the end was the perfect sweet end to a delicious meal. The best bite for me was the soup with the crispies. The husband's was the wings, followed closely by the soft shell crab. The staff were all friendly and polite. We sat outside under the patio tarp with live music! The ambiance was killer for a lazy Sunday. read more

My first time, the food was bold in flavors. I wasn't a fan of the wings I think it's Tumeric that was over powering everything, my favorite was the beef potato empanada, the skin reminded me of Filipino Illoco empanada. The noodles were good, wish there was more noodles, I'm bringing home the left over beef coconut milk sauce etc to put on rice. The pork belly was a bit dry and my friend didn't like the pickled pineapple, I thought it was ok. read more

OH MY GOODNESSS.... I still think about Prubechu. I just found this place recently and had dinner with my girlfriends and we can't stop raving about it. Everything (!!) and I mean everything was delicious. No notes. I was able to grab a resy in a short notice on their heated patio. I was worried it was going to be cold but theres plenty of space and they have a lot of heaters ! Drinks were delish and came in cute cups! To start we got the chamorro sweet rolls that were delicious. The coconut vinegar butter was sweet and tangy and I never had anything like it. The stars of the show.. the KOKO wings and Tinaktak pasta was sooo delicious. PLEASE GET THESE. Perfectly fried and crispy and came with three sauces that paired great. It had heat, salty, sweet, fat. I loved it!! The tinaktak pasta's coconut braised beef complemented really well and was a refreshing touch. Everything else we got, the branzino, fried pork belly, coconut cassava were all sooo yummy and honestly you can't go wrong. I'm already planning my next trip so I can try everything else on the menu. :) read more

Came here with a friend and wow this place impressed! Good: - The noodle dish was amazing - the tinaktak was so good and the portion sizes were incredibly generous - I liked how savory the whole dish was - The rice was simple, yet it was so good even by itself - The rolls were sweet and the butter with it made it even better - Service was great, we were checked in on quite a lot throughout the meal and asked about how things were tasting. - Nice ambiance, really good for catching up for a friend Bad: - Pork belly dish was a little dry but I had to add the sauce and it was much better after - It's expensive...but I wanted to try everything. Overall such a good experience! It's packed for a reason read more

The Koko wings and sweet roll are absolute must. Such amazingly flavored dry rub on the wings and a sweet, buttery, almost Hawaiian roll type fluffiness to the rolls. The chicken kelaguen was not something I've ever had before so I don't have a basis for comparison but it felt dry to me and I wouldn't order it again. Overall great experience trying Guamanian food, would happily try more off their menu! read more

We came here to celebrate my friend graduating from pharm school, and the ambiance was absolutely perfect for the occasion! We were seated on the outside patio, where the colorful decor and lighting felt very festive and celebratory. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the cocktail menu and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the Fiesta Table for the whole group, and every single dish was fantastic; there wasn't a bad bite to be found! I highly recommend coming here with a bigger party so you can try everything on the menu. read more

This was my first time at a Guam restaurant, and I will definitely be back! All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating and service was great! We had an 8:30 rese, but showed up early and they were able to sit us outside. The restaurant vibes are casual and chill, they play reggae tunes-my fav! For apps we had their chilled bbq-d eggplant dish and their beef and potatoes empanada, which was covered in freshly grated cheese. I'm definitely getting that next time! Make sure to get the spicy garlic sauce, it was great with the empanada. For dinner we had their pork belly, which comes with poblano peppers, cabbage and pineapple, this was amazing! We also tried their tamale. For dessert, we had their vanilla ice cream with salted caramel and a French press. They don't have a liquor license, so just beer and vino. We both had their house red, which was good. If you're debating trying out Guam food, don't debate and just do it! You won't be disappointed! read more

Prubechu is a genuinely unique place to have a meal. The vibrancy of the back patio is undeniable, between the upbeat live music (a jazz-leaning trio of saxophone, drums and standup bass), the agile waiters dressed in colorful garb and the tropical overtones of the decor. The food itself was satisfying but ultimately it didn't bowl me over. The Iceberg Wedge Salad and Roasted Japanese Yams both fell short of amazing, almost like dishes still in beta. The flavors didn't quite transcend the sums of their parts and left me gaping at the cost, with those two items alone totaling well over $50. On top of that, an extra charge of $4 for additional hot sauce is ridiculous. I don't think a restaurant is honor bound to just give away ingredients, but the upcharge for a literal 8-ounce ramekin of hot sauce (especially on dishes that truly need it) didn't ingratiate them to me. The wasabi ranch on the salad and the caramelized edge of the sweet potatoes were both solid, but it's hard to imagine this place being a near-term repeater with both mild flavors and an unjustified pricetag to boot. Furthermore, the wait between our first course and main course was inexplicably lengthy, making us wonder if the latter would even arrive. The live music is fun, but depending on your placement in the outdoor area (there is very little indoor seating) and the nature of your conversation, the volume could be a detriment to the experience. There is much to like about Prubechu, but for these reasons I wouldn't call it "worth it." read more

A SF hidden gem! With staff so committed to service--I had a reservation for inside and when I arrived, the vibes outside seemed so nice I asked if they had any tables available. They didn't, but one of the employees switched his OWN dinner reservation with his family to accommodate us so we could sit outside. Above and beyond service. read more

The hostess, ambiance, and cocktails were great. The food was ok, and a bit over priced, but that goes with all restaurant establishments.

My friends and I were just at dinner, and reminiscing about going to here a few years ago. The slow service, mediocre food, and stingy portions are seared into our minds. It was a one star meal, but I'm leaving two stars because I ate at a much better place tonight and am feeling charitable. read more

There are very few Chamorro spots in SF -- and in most U.S. cities, I feel -- so it's great to have some representation here in the city with Prubechu! The menu is decently expansive with a lot of creative dishes, which I appreciate. Here's what we ordered: CHAMORRO SWEET ROLLS & TUBA BUTTER ($12): The rolls were lovely! They were super soft, fluffy, and warm. The gluten was developed very nicely. My one qualm was the total lack of salt in the butter. Butter and salt should never be apart (unless you're really specific about your baking). A generous sprinkle of flaky salt on the butter, which is already a bit sweet and tangy from the coconut vinegar, would have added so much to this dish. ICEBERG WEDGE & WASABI RANCH ($20): Really fun and interesting salad! This was our favorite dish of the night. Of course, the wedge itself was super fresh and crunchy. It was topped with a generous amount of avocado. The highlight for me was the wasabi ranch: it's ingenious and just a fantastic flavor combo. Even though the portion was large, the price was still quite steep for what's mostly lettuce. ROASTED JAPANESE YAMS ($32): I do not recommend this dish, it is just not worth the price tag. My friend and I both love Japanese sweet potatoes, and we assumed that given the high price tag, they must have done something really unique and special with the humble yam. Unfortunately, that assumption was incorrect. It was a healthy-tasting dish with no more than one small yam's worth of Japanese sweet potato. BBQ PORK RIBS ($26): The ribs were solid! They were tender and smoky. They were a messy eat, but that's to be expected. You get four ribs that have a decent amount of meat on them, which was a good size for my friend and me, but not great for larger groups, so just a note there. THRICE COOKED BRISKET SKEWER ($29): The brisket was super tender, and the portion was good, but unfortunately, I found the meat to be very salty. Unlike the butter, less salt here would have been amazing! DINANCHE' HOT SAUCE ($4): We were upsold on the hot sauce, and it was hot! It was a fun addition, but not for those with poor spice tolerance. BANANA DONUTS ($14): These were fine. I like the concept, and a homey dessert is always comforting. I felt like these could have used more breading and sweetness to fully own the title of "donuts". If you are all in on the roasted banana filling, then this would be up your alley. I would prefer a more even ratio of the filling and breading. SWEET TAMALE WITH KIWI ($14): This was also fine. It was very lightly sweet, and the texture of the cassava was cool. Overall, this did leave something to be desired, and I expected more than two small slices of kiwi given that it was called out. Prubechu has some high points, as well as some things that I think could be improved. It's generally a little overpriced for what you get, but that could have come down to what we picked. I could see myself coming back to try different items because there were several other things that sounded delicious, and I'd hope those are slightly better value! read more

We came for Valentine's Day dinner after booking a reservation about a month in advance. Upon arrival, we were seated on their cute outdoor terrace. We loved the ambiance, and the live music was a nice touch. For food, we tried a few dishes, but my favorite was the Tinatak (coconut-braised beef and egg noodle dish). If you're not a fan of coconut, I'd steer clear, as the flavor can be overpowering, but I liked it. The rest of the food was decent, but nothing really stood out. The staff was friendly, but the service was slow and felt unorganized. Tables seated after us received their dishes before we did, and a nearby table accidentally got one of our dishes. It seemed like there wasn't a polished system in place between the servers and the kitchen. I'd love to give Guamanian food another shot, but unfortunately, it probably won't be at this spot. read more

This was a chance encounter. Some friends had some American Express benefits they wanted to use for dinner. They invited me to join in -- even though I'm not a card holder. I had never heard of the restaurant before so I took a leap of faith. First, the ambiance was great! It was outdoor seating that evening as the weather was warm and there was live music. It had a great outdoor island vibe as if we were somewhere in the pacific/hawaii. Second, the food service was fantastic. We ordered the set menu and the food came out in a good pace for the most part. There were some brief pauses here and there between servings, and somebody in my group complained it took a long time -- but I thought it was an acceptable pace. I had not expected the food to be so flavorful. Also it was not immensely carb heavy, so that was great for me as a T2 diabetic. The only thing I really avoided was the rice dish. I took two small scoops just to taste it, and it was the best rice I've had in some time -- just unfortunately I cannot eat any more of it. I would definitely love to come back to this restaurant especially on a warm night to sit outside and take in the ambiance. Again, the food was very high quality. Only one minor ding, my group was not so in love with the cocktails, so they did not order any more beyond their first drink. For myself, I had ordered a glass of syrah. However, it just tasted really off to me. I've drank enough wine in my life to know what a syrah should taste like and this was had very noticeable sour notes and did not have a full body. Either somebody poured in a terrible quality pinot and got it mixed up or the bottle of syrah has gone bad. Server tried to explain it was natural wine so it would have a slightly sour/acidic flavor to it; however I was not buying that explanation -- it simply did not taste right. He kindly offered for me to pick another wine, and instead I went with just the house wine and prayed that it won't have notes of vinegar. It came, and it was fine. Not sour, and just tasted okay -- which I'm more happy with than the syrah earlier. So, aside from maybe needing to step up their drinks game, the food and service was top notch. read more

Amazing food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. It was our first time trying Guamanian food, and Prubechu made us wish we had tried it sooner. It SLAPS! We ate outside under the tent at the picnic tables. It was very comfortable and warm, despite being a cold and rainy night. We ordered the Koko wings (a MUST order) with the hot sauce, which is an additional charge, but totally worth it since I slathered it on all the other food I ordered. If you like beef stroganoff, let me tell you that you have to order the Tinaktak. It takes beef stroganoff to a whole new level. The brisket was also good. We ordered the appan mendioka (cassava) as a side and it paired well with everything. The dish we found to be a bit underwhelming was the tamale. But maybe because we are used to Mexican tamales with really delicious fillings. This one didn't have a filling, and was more of a simple dish. The Chamorro punch was also a bit too watery for us. Order: koko wings, tinaktak, brisket, cassava side dish Skip: tamale, Chamorro punch read more

My siblings and our partners visited this spot while we were in town for a family wedding. Being Chamorro, we were excited to try all the things! We had: *Chamorro sweet rolls & tuba butter-okay but didn't really taste of tuba. Was very similar to Hawaiian bread with butter. *Corn Soup-loved this! Great flavor. *Shrimp kelaguen & coconut titiyas-refreshing and tasty *Garlicky shrimp & grits-was yummy but we wouldn't say it's similar to what we're used to for chalakilis *Whole fried garlic and rainbow trout-delish!!! *Chicken kelaguen-yummy. Wanted more than the 2 "tacos" you're given *red rice-cooked pretty perfectly *Appan mendioka confit scallions-nice and creamy *black finadenne-the usual *Dinanche-never a bad idea! *bananas donuts-yummy but wanted more. The cream was a nice addition too! *apigigi-yummy but the additions on top were a bit fancy and unnecessary for us *coconut candy ice cream-we all said this was our absolute favorite in the menu. Would've ordered a half pint if they sold it. Bomb! The plates are tapas style for the most part. The fish was the exception being a whole fish. Family style. The flavors were yummy and I'd say more of a modern twist to traditional flavors. Not cheap but for the ambiance, experience and access to meals only avails me at guests-I'd say it's definitely worth it for a special occasion. The ambiance is island style, laid back. Plenty of seating in and outside. Parking can be rough but you're in SF. That's typical. Will come back when in town! read more

Stumbled in here with a friend and it was the patio and menu that attracted us! So happy to see a Guamanian spot in the city. Growing up my mom always made chicken kelaguen so having it in a restaurant felt like nostalgia! We ordered the chicken kelaguen, tinaktak, and the bread and butter rolls. We also each ordered a Chamorro punch. The food was overall super yummy. I was surprised by how delicious the Tinaktak dish was! Never had it before and would def have it again. Staff was so sweet and the ambiance was vibrant. Happy to have stumbled in here! read more

Very good meal here for a friend catchup- loved trying food from a new place. Service: 10/10 no notes. Perfect hospitality and warm environment. Food- we asked to a rec for an appetizer and got the eggplant and it was a total miss for us. Cold and tasted overwhelmingly of liquid smoke. The chili oil and flatbread helped a bit but we really didn't like it. The tamale and shrimp and grits were fantastic as were the banana donuts. Tamale was my favorite dish and our favorite bite of the night. The shrimp and grits was really interesting. I only wish the "grits" were less of a purée and more textured. Donuts were so so good and we wish we could have ordered the housemade coconut ice cream with it without getting two desserts. All in all it was a great experience and I would return to try some additional dishes-everything on the menu looked great! read more

I swear I wish Yelp would make more stars JUST for Prubechu! This place is LEGITTTTTTT!!! First off, the staff couldn't be nicer! Really sweet down to earth staff that you can tell LOVE to share their cultural classics :) and I am SO GLAD THEY DID!!!! Ordered the following bangers: *Chammoro Sweet Rolls with Tuba Butter - Airy, light and sweet rolls that melt in your mouth!!! The butter was tasty a total added mouth melting bonus!! *Chicken Kelaguen and Coconut Titiyas - WHOA!!! I was not ready for how amazing these would be. The chicken kelaguen is cold (so don't freak out) and works SO WELL with the chewy warm flavorful coconut titiyas. An absolute must to share with the table. *Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork Belly - THIS ALONE HAS ME COMING BACK FOR MORE! The pork belly skin was crisp like chicharron, the pork itself was tender and flavorful. Total mouthgasm! The sweet and sour cabbage and peppers it came with was divine! Such a great paring!! *Tinaktak - I don't know how they do it, but the coconut infused yumminess in this bowl is off the charts!! This dish has it all!! Coconut braised beef, fresh chewy delish noodles and fresh veggies. KILLER! My mouth is watering writing this review and I sure hope yours is too! Make a reservation NOW!!! DO IT!!! read more

Very good (but pricey!) Delicious food that seems authentic. Very friendly servers, up beat music, and a great vibe overall. We ordered the Lechen Birenghenas (eggplant in coconut milk), Pika tamales, Koko wings, BBQ pork ribs, a side of red rice, and coconut candy ice cream, which was honestly too much for 2 people so we had a lot of leftovers. Lechen: 5/5 recommended by our server, a bit strange of a flavor at first but the more I ate the more addicted I became. A sign to venture outside of your comfort zone and try new things! Pika tamales: 4/5 I loved the sauce and the egg with the tamale, but it could have used more sauce to balance it out Koko wings: 5/5 we almost didn't get these even tho our server said it's a crowd favorite. SO glad we did. Perfectly soft, perfectly crispy, perfectly seasoned Bbq pork ribs: 4/5 you definitely need a side of rice with this, or a side of something. Coconut candy ice cream: 5/5!!! The sauce on this ice cream is amazing. I love that it comes with ice cream cones. read more

I had no idea what to expect from Guamanian food, but I'm always down to try something new, and Prubechu was a delightful surprise. Since it was our first time, my friend and I ordered à la carte. We started with the iceberg wedge--fresh, crisp lettuce with a ranch dressing that had a wasabi kick. A really refreshing way to begin the meal. Next up was the barbecued eggplant in coconut milk. Visually, it was beautiful, and the texture and flavor were reminiscent of a ceviche or crudo. Such a great option for vegetarians and my favorite dish of the night. The wings were crisp and flavorful, and the shrimp and grits were a pleasant surprise since I'm usually not a big fan. The shrimp were very fresh, and the grits had a rich, luxurious texture. We finished with the brisket skewer and a side of red rice. The rice was perfectly cooked and well seasoned; the only disappointment for me was the brisket, which was a bit too fatty for my taste. That said, my friend liked it, so it may just come down to personal preference. The wine list is short, but the two glasses I had were very good. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the outdoor patio is adorable. I'd definitely want to sit out there next time. I can't wait to come back. read more

I have never had Guam cuisine before and it was such a treat to try this upscale spot. We started with the Chamorro rolls, which had the most amazing coconut butter and then enjoyed the chicken kelaguen which were like zippy little zesty tacos, their hot sauce is spicy beware! Lastly we enjoyed the Tinatak which was best described to us as a mushroom stroganoff but the tomatoes made the dish feel bright ! They have plentiful outdoor space and would recommend a reservation for this spot. They also have outdoor bathrooms in addition to their brick and mortar. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert this time. But hope to be back! read more

The restaurant has very little place to sit out of the wind. The front door is propped open, seating is encouraged outdoors. There was a band . The food is designed to be eaten family style and intended to buy multiple dishes à la carte to make a diverse food experience. We were only 2 . Our dishes were not complete, we did not understand the concept and were not educated by the server. Our 4 small dishes were salty and not good together as they were meant to be grouped with other things. We left hungry and spent $70.

Now the food was good and I appreciate that they're here to bring dishes from Guam to SF/CA! There's not many places I've experienced in CA that serve this kind of cuisine. Service was nice and ambiance is good (there's heaters for outside seating) HOWEVER, my main gripe with this place was the PRICE TO FOOD RATIO. This place should instead be labeled as "$$$" or maybe even "$$$$" and be considered much more as a fine dining establishment as the portions are misleadingly smaller than what it appears to be from the menu. For example, keep in mind the $17 lechen birenghenas or the eggplant dish (pictured) is a thin strip of eggplant dressed up with cherry tomatoes and herbs. The actual dish itself tasted great, but it was SO small and unfulfilling. Same with the other dishes, where the portions were quite small. The koko wings ($25) are also 5 wings, which were delicious, but again not worth that price point UNLESS you had so much disposable income that food prices don't matter. I do have a slight issue with fine dining establishments with the high price to small portion ratios, especially when this place is marked as "$$". Also the interior wasn't that beautiful for me to think the prices-to-food would be much higher. Guam is expensive due to import costs, but I don't think there's that much importation happening here. I'd recommend the $10 bowl of red rice to accompany the $30 thrice cooked brisket skewer (pictured) so you don't leave feeling hungry. I wouldn't come back, but I do recommend trying it once since it is highly rated! read more

This restaurant has almost everything to make it my perfect type of restaurant. Great service, delicious food and drinks, live music, and great vibes. That's pretty much all you need! I may just be an alcoholic and wished there was hard alcohol lol. But they have beer and sake and actually introduced me to a new favorite sake, Chokaisan 'Mount Chokai.' The description said "a glass of this is a STEAL!" so I had to try it. And it was amazinggggg. Sooo buttery smooth. Must get!!! We ordered: lechen birenghenas aka the eggplant $16 beef and potato empanada $14 mushroom and cheese empanada $11 koko wings $22 tinaktak aka hand made egg noodles $30 Everything was delicious. It was pricey, but aren't most restaurants in SF these days? So now it's more, what actually taste really good and has great vibes? Prubechu. And I bechu'll love this place too ;) read more

A bit disappointed overall; really liked the fried chicken but the rest was decent but not great. Empanada was quite nice in terms of texture but the beef and potato filling lacked seasoning. Personally, I didn't like the eggplant, it was a mix of textures and flavors I didn't like. It is served cold, has a very mushy texture, and an off smoky flavor. We thought the beef noodle dish was a bit misleading; we thought it'd be a beef dish with noodles but it was noodles with beef in it. Despite that, it was very coconut forward and tasted quite nice like a coconut curry x beef stroganoff but the portion was really small for $30. Fried chicken was spectacular, best item we had by far. Perfectly crispy dry wings with savory and slightly sweet seasoning. Moist chicken and a nice vinegar sauce on the side. These wings alone make it worth the visit. Finally, dessert was also nice, liked the textures and flavors quite a bit. Service was great, staff was very friendly and attentive. At one point they asked if we wanted hot sauce with the chicken, to which we responded yes, but didn't realize it was with additional charge. Not a big deal but was surprised by it on the bill. read more
