Two words: Chicken Ramen!! We have always loved this place. Sushi is incredible! But the ramen....insane!!

ive ate here dozens of times and they typically have ok food. I ordered take out for me and my family and the man at the front argued with me about sauces for 5 minutes on top of my food being 20 min late. The food isn't bad but for average food and terrible service you can go anywhere read more

Great food and sushi. Amazing service and very very clean. Owner Maas is a class act. Always treats me with alot of respect. Kids love the sweet n sour chicken. I am a fan or all their sushi, hibachi soups, everything. #GTRBrothers read more

We're pleasantly surprised. The ingredients are balanced, the service is great, it is clean, and we're fairly certain they cleaned the vegetables which is rare for a restaurant. We will definitely return. read more

I've been trying to find a decent sushi place in or around St Augustine since I moved here from California. This place was awesome.

Definitely will be back!! read more

Spent $116 and we were told that we only get one small shrimp sauce cup per order. Any others were $0.50 per cup. We were feeding 8 people?!? Food was OK. read more

Pretty dead on Tuesday around 9pm, but between the sushi, seaweed salad, and crab rangoon, the food was on point and reasonably priced. Service was quick and super friendly! read more

Finally thought we found a good Asian restaurant. Well not. *didn't like hot tea in mug size cups *wonton noodle soup was tough. Have never had to use a fork to cut up a wonton noodle. *my food was cold, plus instead of General Tso's chicken they brought me Orange chicken. *my husband ordered "Happy Family". No scallops as stated on menu and imitation crab (yuk). NEVER AGAIN. read more

The food is always, always the best quality and incredibly delicious. Service was great as well. While quite a few customers did not comply with covid protocols (hardly the fault of the staff!), all the employees themselves were great in this respect. We travel quite far to get sushi here, as it never disappoints! read more

Went here for dinner at the recommendation of my parents' neighbors. We had been looking for a really solid Asian option in the area and this definitely fit the bill. It was a chilly evening and the space was warm and welcoming. We each started with egg drop soup, which was warm and filling. Very well done and served with crispy noodles as a topping. For my main course, I went for the Sesame Chicken, which was extremely well prepared and artfully presented. There was an abundance of chicken, which enabled me to take half of it home for a second meal the next day, which was equally as good then. We all enjoyed our meals and the menu has a nice variety that there were other items I would try if I visit in the future. The neighbors who recommended this to us usually do takeout and say it's very good - just plan to wait a few minutes as they prepare everything to order, so it's super fresh and worth the wait. read more

I love sushi and decided to check out this place after reading the reviews and checking out their menu online. The drive is a bit far from Jax but well worth it! The menu (minus the Chinese food) reminded me of Botan, a sushi place on the Southside which I loved and unfortunately closed....turns out it's the same owner as Pacific. Yay what luck! The rolls were delish and creative and our waiter was attentive. I loved the Rock and roll, very light and refreshing with fish wrapped in cucumber wrapper, and the Palencia roll, a combo of shrimp, cream cheese and some other yummy goodness. Great plating presentation too. I love this place and will def come here again! read more

Excellent sushi! They are great at what they do! Both times i have gone ive only got the hot and sour soup and sushi. And they have a gigantic selection of different rolls they must have over 30 different kinds! But they also have your nornal chinese food selections as well, fried rice teriyaki all that but they definately specialize in their sushi read more

This is by far the best sushi restaurant I've ever been to. The owner Mas is personable and friendly to all and no one does it better. Thanks Mas for everything sir read more

Since moving to the area we have been trying assorted places for Chinese food and today we found the best we have had, so far. It being New Year's Day the place was very quiet in the early afternoon and we were seated promptly. The bistro is well appointed and lends an atmosphere of relaxation. At our table the four of us ordered Beef & Broccoli, Beef Lo Mein, Mongolian Chicken and Mongolian Beef with fried rice instead of white. When served, the portions appeared to be quite generous with a good helping of rice on the side. The Mongolian Beef was some of the best I have ever had, with a sweet, spicy sauce, lots of onions (and green onion pieces) and just the right amount of 'heat!' Likewise, the Mongolian Chicken was very flavorful and had a generous helping of chicken. The Lo Mein was pronounced to be 'very good', however there was a bit of disappointment in the Beef & Broccoli as it had been ordered to be on the spicy side. While I was told it was very flavorful, there was no hint of additional 'heat' from spices. Overall . . . I am now thankful we don't have to drive into 'the city' to find good Chinese food as the Pacific Asian Bistro is our new 'go-to' spot. read more

***** Great lunch specials very fresh an great looking!!! Had the LISA LISA wow what a flavorful roll. Also amazing dipping sauces for sushi great find will keep on coming back found my new sushi spot in this town!!!! read more

Great place, nice atmosphere. Good menu with a variety of sushi, Japanese, curry dishes, Chinese. We like it.

Nothing irks me more than driving 39 miles each way and then get home to find out they gave me the wrong order. Called them back and told them, and now they don't speak English. By the way, they also charged $1.00 more than what the menu says. There are too many good restaurants in the area to waste your time with this place. read more

i went in because my friend recommend me this place and off the bay the wait staff was rude. i ordered my sushi and i came out warm. like rice falling off the roll. the food was okay. but when i got home around 30 mins later i was extremely ill and felt terrible for the rest of the day. the waitstaff wasn't kind i had to ask for my check after sitting done for 10 mins while being the only person in the restaurant. my sister later told me this place also made her violently ill. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

I had dinner at Pacific Asian Bistro last night with four other people.I experienced several problems. One person in our party ordered a curry dish emphatically requesting "no mushrooms". The chef prepared it with mushrooms. I ordered a drunken noodles with shrimp. It was delivered with no shrimp. Although I mentioned this to the waitress mid-meal, she did not deliver shrimp nor did she make any any price adjustment in our bill for the shrimp not delivered. Further, the servers are not properly trained. For example, our server repeatedly reached across the face of my wife to remove items from me, rather than walking behind me to remove. She almost bumped my wife with a plate. It was uncomfortable. I know this is not a "fine dining " restaurant, but a bit more training would go a long way. As for the food itself, overall pretty tasty. I would have given the place 3.5 stars if not for the above comments. read more

Three of us went to dinner this evening. Bad service. Inattentive wait staff. Waitress told me a certain dish was curry but it was chicken covered in peanut butter. 2 meals came at one time while the third one came when we were almost done eating. The owner was cleaning the ceiling vents over the food while people were eating and over the raw sushi. Used to eat there almost one time per week. Not anymore. read more

I go here often and I'm never disappointed. Their sushi, fried rice, entrees, miso soup ... all delicious. Service is usually quick as well.

We have visited several Asian restaurants in the area and pacific Asian bistro is now by far our favorite. The menu has variety, the service is awesome. Seating is limited so go early if possible. We ordered hot and sour soup ( the best I've had so far) and wonton soup. The Mongolian beef and the House lo mein were also tasty. We could have kicked ourselves for not ordering sushi but that gives us an excuse to go back soon. Takeout is also available. read more

Absolutely love this place my favorites are their shumai, avocado roll, shrimp lovers roll, and their sushi bento box lunch special.

We've always liked this place, real decent sushi, etc. However, the last two times we've been here it's been really weak. We really stretched for two stars. Very inconsistent and the some of the staff has no clue. Trying to be nice here, but honestly, it's totally not like it was two years ago... read more

I have been a loyal customer since Pacific Bistro opened, but the service has seriously declined & I must give them a lower rating. They desperately need another sushi chef to keep up with demand, but refuse to hire. The result is painfully slow service. Be prepared to wait for an hour+ to receive even 1 roll. There is no apology either. They just expect everyone to wait. Yes, the sushi is good, but no it's not worth the wait. When you order takeout, you're always told 20-25 min, but you arrive & wait for an hour or more. It's even worse if you dine in the restaurant. They continue with subpar service because there is little competition in the area. Don't waste your time driving up for the insane wait. Seriously, Pacific, hire another chef! It's ridiculous! Until you do so, I will let everyone know how awful the service is. read more

The sushi was great! As was everything else! We tasted the crab Rangoon , the ginger salad, miso soup, general Tao and Kung pot chicken. Service was very good as well. We will definitely return! read more

this place has really great sushi & I love their seaweed salad! Also, they do have some rolls that are not on other place's menu- be brave and try something different. I have been three times and have NOT been disappointed...also the service and atmosphere is very good :) read more

I love this place. Great sushi and the owner is always on top of things. Ordering togo tonight.

Good Sushi and the house fried rice is awesome. Have eaten there several times and never a bad meal.

My third trip here, and I will say that the sea bass sashimi, which came in a suspicious coating of tobiko, gave me stomach pains all night. Wouldn't have been as bad had not "Mas" and the rest of the staff totally mailed it in while I was there; he actually took off to go out for the night before closing, giving us little recourse but to eat what we had ordered (note: always trust that little voice as it pertains to raw foods). read more

Good asian food! I don't eat seafood or sushi, but this place is trendy and upbeat. Came here for lunch with coworkers and got the garlic chicken dish. It was excellent, but my only complaint is there wasn't enough chicken in it. I'll be back for more. Seems to be a popular place in the area. Give it a try. read more

My only complaint is that two tables got their food before we did even when we ordered small sushi plates. Other than that the sushi was great and fresh! The restaurant was nice- no views but the atmosphere was cool. They have a sushi bar which I would probably sit at next time! It was cold in there so bring a jacket if you get cold easily like me! read more

We eat here two to three time a month. Best sushi in St. Augustine by far! He needs to expand and add more seating, it gets really busy on the weekend. Love the Jimmy Smith roll! read more

Never eat at Pacific Asian Bistro in St. Augustine (Palencia) We will never order from this restaurant again.  We ordered food last night and were told 45 minutes which was fine.  We then waited another hour because they gave our food to someone else.  But for almost an hour they continued to tell us 5 more minutes.  There first suggestion was that they people that took are food were bringing it back and we would take that which we refused as that is incredibly unsanitary.  The owner then yelled at the hostess for giving us free sodas.  We told the hostess that we should get a discount after waiting another hour and the owner came over to us and told us we were not upset and laughed about it.  To top it off, some friend of the owner's who was dining at the restaurant at least 4 times walked back in to the kitchen to refill his drink and was not wearing a mask or practicing any signs of being sanitary.  Disgusting.  And we have reported this to the department of Health in St. Johns County. read more

I had heard many different reviews of Pacific Asian Bistro, from both my friends and here on Yelp. I was skeptical about getting great sushi in St. Augustine, but after hearing my friend rave about it and wanting to meet for lunch, I figured it was time to stop in. First thing I noticed- how cool the place looks. Stepping in, there's not a LOT of tables, but enough for the crowd that seems to frequent the place. Also noticed a few chairs at the sushi bar, as well as tables outside on a patio. The asian decor was impressive, not cheesy, and I was very happy to see the flatscreen TV's tuned to ESPN. The wait staff was very friendly and courteous, and knew their stuff. We stopped in for lunch- and the first thing I noticed was their special. Two rolls and a bowl of soup for only 8 bucks. Something about that tells me the sushi is not that fresh and not very good. Boy, was I wrong about that! I ordered my always favorite spicy tuna and spicy salmon roll along with the miso soup. The miso soup was good, fresh, and set me up nicely for the awesome meal I was about to devour! The rolls were great, very fresh, and very, VERY tasty. I thought about ordering another special when I was done to enjoy more, but I ended up ordering a few orders of my all time favorite sushi, Yellowtail. It was spectacular! The sushi was very fresh, sliced just right, and served on a cool looking plate with wasabi and soy sauce. Could be some of the best sushi I've ever eaten, EVER! Overall, I'm absolutely impressed and can't wait to go back, which I will many, many times. Service was great- fast and correct on all the orders. Food was amazing- fresh, delicious, and filling. The deals are amazing- the lunch special was unbelievably cheap for the food you get, and there are also deals throughout the week on rolls, sushi, sake, and beer. Not into sushi? They also offer up different types of asian cuisine, including your standard Chinese fare. If you're looking for a great restaurant, with great deals and a great atmosphere, offering up LOTS of delicious types of food- look no further than this place. I loved it! All these great reviews can't be wrong! read more

Service was very prompt but sushi was a little disappointing especially based on some of the reviews

Slow service, mediocre food (nothing more than NY style) and overpriced.

Had a nice dinner at Pacific Asian Bistro last night. My wife enjoyed a few different Sushi rolls. And I orders a Panang Curry dish. My dish was large, hot, and very good. About $12 bucks for an entree. There is a good selection of different Asian style dishes on the menu... Chinese, Japanese, and Thai. The sushi selection looks great as well. Service was wonderful, and its in a cute little strip shopping center near Palencia. Looking forward to coming back and sapling some other dishes. read more
