Been to Rajio Japanese Public House twice now for dinner. They also own Kingyo, Suika and Raisu so we figured we’d be in good hands at Rajio. It’s located a few doors down from The Pokeman. Business cards casually hanging out on the ledge when you first walk in. Impressed how busy this place has been on both trips. Service was the typical Japanese standard of excellence. They constantly came by to refill our water and tea (which was complimentary). You know they’re legit when they play jazz music.
Food tasted great! Especially the sashimi and Epi Mayo! Will definitely go back for other dishes!
Only one mistake tho the sushi rice was falling apart. Possibly due to mixing the acid to cool rice.
Came here for a late dinner as it was one of the few places open late on Sat. Overall, the food here is very flavorful, but portions are small (tapas). The Bang Bang Chicken was very good. The udon was average, a little too soft. The ramen was very rich but tasty. Prices are not cheap for the portion, just to set one's expectation. The staff was very friendly and prompt.
Rajio Public House in Point Grey is celebrating their fifth anniversary! This hip, eclectic Japanese Izakaya located by UBC specializes in Japanese tapas and entrees, sushi as well as sake and specialty drinks. The ambiance and menu has some Osaka-inspired elements to it. Rajio is owned by the Tamaru Shoten Restaurant Group and is a sister restaurant to Suika (on West Broadway) and Raisu (on West 4th) and Kingyo (on Denman). It has been a popular place for those who are seeking casual yet adventurous eats.
This restaurant is small and crowded. We ordered watermelon punch with alcohol , salad and aburi sushi. The punch was really awesome, it's not too sweet and the material was fresh enough. Also, the aburi sushi was delicious as well--the flavor was acceptable to non Japanese people.
Rajio Public House is located on West 10th Ave and Elma Street. It is about 10 minutes away from UBC. It is a hip izakaya with Japanese tapas and entrees

Cane here on a Friday night with my boyfriend around 6:00pm. We got a table right when we got there but the place was already pretty full. Really tasty skewers and fried chicken and cheap pitchers of beer. Staff was attentive and we did not have to wait long for service, food, or drinks. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic Izakaya, from the same group as suikya, and raisu. Authentic feeling environment with a great selection of dishes not seen at typical Japanese restaurants. Fair prices for good quality food, would recommend you check them out
Really liked the food here; portions are typically small, which allows people to try a multitude of items. The watermelon drink is quite overpriced, but it's still quite aesthetic. Despite the small size, it's a great place to bring for snacks and drinks.
Came here with two other friends. Okinawa orion beer and watermelon punch with rum. Oysters were fresh and well marinated, deep fried skewers were alright, grilled duck and pork cheek were the best meat. Fried chicken was good. What's not to love about this place? Great service too.
