According to the Mercury News (2007), "The menu in the main restaurant is equally eclectic (compared to its wine lounge), with unusual dishes such as pumpkin borani, which features spicy peppers and garlic, and aushak, pasta filled with leek and cilantro and topped with garlic-yogurt sauce and sautéed ground beef, and simpler starters and entrees such as grilled salmon and beef, shrimp, lamb, and chicken kabobs. The owners have designed their menu to accommodate the palates of those who like spicier, more exotic dishes and those who prefer milder, well-prepared salads, vegetables, and grilled seafood and meat.” Come experience this treasure in Downtown Pleasanton in either the main dining room or our relaxing wine lounge.

    Haba Japan delivers a consistent experience. The chef was entertaining. The food was excellent. The chicken was very tender. We enjoyed watching the food being cooked before us. Tables sit 8 but we were seated in a manner that allowed us to converse with the people in our group. Lots of birthdays were being celebrated last night so it was loud. The birthday celebrant received a pineapple dessert. Plenty of parking in the strip center. Not a fancy place but the food and service se excellent. Good value.

    We sat outside, so there was some street noise, but we enjoyed the European cafe feel. Our server was really friendly, attentive and helpful with her food descriptions. We munched on warm herbed rolls and decided to order The Thor as a nod to my friend’s Norwegian heritage. It was a trio of Scandinavian apps including pickled herring, smoked salmon and a pork pate. Everything tasted very fresh and went well with our second first course choice, the baked goat cheese crepe served with a tasty green salad, sugared walnuts and shaved Parmesan cheese. The two dishes were plenty for lunch, but we still had room for the chocolate pots de crème served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Excellent in every way, we will be back to try the French onion soup and intriguing main courses next time!
