I'd had my eye on this awhile but don't get over here much anymore. Saw it when it was lunchtime, swung by. Little place in a little stripmall. Lots of pictures on the outside. Inside, small but bright and cozy. Fairly straightforward menu, only a few mild surprises. Perhaps there is an "authentic" menu as well? Anyway, I got my standard comparison item, Mongolian beef. Lunch special, so that, plus fried rice and soup. I chose egg drop. The soup was pretty good. Hard to mess up, but it was full of egg, and very rich. The fried rice was pretty mundane. There were a ton of white onions for the entree, and a decent amount of green, plus enough meat that I can't complain. Tender, flavorful, not overly sweet or overly salty as some versions are. Nothing amazing but a solid version. Service was great. Laid-back and friendly, but there whenever I needed something. Food was out super quick. Prices are very reasonable. If I lived nearby I'd be back once in awhile. read more

It's my second time visiting this authentic Chinese restaurant featuring Hunan cuisine and Northeastern Chinese cuisine. We ordered a variety of dishes and we enjoyed a lot. It was not very busy when we got to the restaurant, so the service was fast. My top favorite dishes here: Hunan dried bamboo and bacon: very flavorful dish with different layers of textures. Stinky tofu: it's one of my favorite kinds of street food, but not many people in love with the smell. It's crispy outside and juicy inside. A little hot kick flavor in the sauce too~ Hot & sour shredded potato: texture was spot on, and it was good balance between hot and sour flavor. Sesame wide noodle: really liked the wide noodle texture, and sesame sauce paired well with some of the spicy food we got read more

I ordered dinner this week, and got the Singapore Noodles and spicy wings. I noticed they have since reopened the dining room area and it is no longer just to go orders. My previous experiences here have been pretty good to great. This visit was more along average. My noodles had a lot of curry powder and i had to add water to my dish to make it palatable. The spicy chicken wings were pretty good. This visit was not as good as previous experiences, but it was still decent and was quick and easy. read more

黑椒鲜菌牛肉粒最好吃！牛肉粒和王子菇粒先炸再炒，加了一些香料，辣椒。微辣的口感刚好好 Black Pepper Beef and mushroom taste really good. Deep fried beef stir fry with mushroom, spice and sesame, it taste spicy but totally delicious. 湘爆脆鱼肚相比之下就太辣了，是我这个广东人吃不了的辣 Stir Fried Crispy Catfish is too spicy that I couldn't afford 小鸡炖蘑菇味道还行，但我个人不喜欢吃。鸡肉太碎了，粉条太多了，幸亏把粉条捞出来，不然越吃越多 Service is not that good. I came here on Saturday noon and they are too busy, only a man served us, not giving us water and chopsticks until we requested it. He is walking around, cleaning other tables while I really need help. 周六中午来吃，店员太忙了，筷子也没给我们，水也没给我们。后来叫了店员才给了我们东西，但是叫店员过来这个过程真的太费劲了 read more

It was greasy and not at all like Chinese food I've gotten elsewhere. Too much sauce. Limp vegetables.

If you're looking for orange chicken or general tso pork that you would normally get at your local corner Chinese take-out place, please do me a favor and DO NOT COME HERE. I had the pleasure of meeting Russ, whom I'm told by my friend who took me is the go-to guy to get daily recommendations. He also hinted that he may or may not speak best English so that always helps.. To be fair, he was the only one in the hall the day I went so it's not like I can compare.. ;-) I'm told there are two menus. For obvious reasons, I got the "better" menu, which even for me, someone who spends a decent amount of time studying every menu possible, there were a lot of items that sounded unfamiliar. That may be because I don't read Chinese 100%, and the English translations didn't quite connect the dots for me. There's a good chance that I'm perfectly familiar with listed cuisines but just didn't recognize them. Nonetheless, we went ahead and asked Russ to recommend three dishes between the three of us. My friends are frequent visitors, so he made sure that he didn't recommend anything they'd had in their past few visits. Spicy aorta dish and the Shiitake mushroom green dish were the two he recommended, and I had my eyes set on Spicy Hunan pork. Aorta dish was the one that worried my friends a bit, but it turned out to be possibly the best dish of the three, not that the other two were bad. Shiitake green dish was very similar to the usual Chinese broccoli dish I often get at other places, but with VERY NICE addition of shiitake mushrooms. Cooked to perfection, of course. The Hunan pork dish was as great as they come, the only regret being they don't serve the dish with steamed buns as some very selective restaurants do. (Russ also agreed that they should start serving steamed bun) But the spicy aorta dish was the one that had the most complex combination of sauce. I couldn't get over how many different flavors I could taste, but how they all come together to make a perfectly balanced sauce. With such strong seasons like mala, garlic, cilantro, chili peppers, black peppers, etc. etc. it was amazing to see it come together so well. Aorta, if you've never had it, is an interesting protein with very interesting texture for your chewing sensation. Medium softness--sort of like al dente pasta--where you have to bite into the semi-soft surface to get to the meaty chewiness. I can see it being a hit or a miss depending on how familiar or open minded you are about these types of texture. For me, it was super delicious. I'm excited to have discovered this place, and cannot wait to bring my family down to try many of the other offerings. read more

Did an order kind of late. It was 8:00. They are open until 9:00. Everything was fine with the ordering process. Nice delivery person. The bag felt light but I didn't really think anything of it after my first observation. Took my food to the kitchen. Opened the bag. 2 bowls. 2 egg rolls. No fried rice. I thought it might already be in the bowl. No !! Beef and broccoli with no rice. Hunan shrimp with no fried rice. I called they said it was to later to deliver. Gave me $4 back. Door dash called and said no $4 because we weren't charged for it anyway it was part of the meal that just didn't make it to us. Who do I blame.? read more

Place remodeled, looks better. Food a half grade better as had gotten very bad 2y ago, up from C+ to B- now. Service today was horrible... on a TAKEOUT order. Surly guy took my order, did not ask for name or number as 100 percent always happened prior 200 orders. Then I show up and he asks name/number. I politely told him he had not asked for it but as only 1 to go order on counter, probably me. Went to pay and his checkout system tried to force a TIP on my bill. Is a carry out order, he is an owner/family so price the to go food however you need but then don't try a 20% scalp. He said "no tip!?" As I exited. I tip sit down at 20% if poor service, 30-50% if good to great ..he'll, I tip 30%+ on pizza delivery even tho has delivery fee. I draw line on fast food or quick serve carry out, no service to tip AND shitty attitude. read more

If I could give this restaurant a 11/10 I would! I will never forget this meal, it was some of the best food I have ever had! I love different kinds of food, but chinese food has always been my favorite. This place serves Americanized dishes and as well as traditional dishes. I went when my sister and we wanted to try this place out. We went with the traditional menu, it has english on it. We got the pork belly with pepper stir fry, beef and celery stir fry and garlic chinese water spinach( I think that is what it is called). I love everything we ate, both beef dishes were spicy but flavorful ( not too spicy it was perfect). I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE EXPERIENCE. The service was amazing, the food came out in like than 10 minutes and they were so kind. I had so much fun and I ate so much food! You should give this place a try. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is very nice and cozy. The food is fantastic! I can't wait until I get to go again! read more

Best Chinese/ Hunan food in Columbus. Very authentic and selection is very good. They have dishes you won't find at a typical Americanized plain restaurant . Lower reviews have never been to China to can't tell what actual good one food is. read more

I never leave reviews but I have to note the place has new owners and though they kept the same Chinese-American menu in name all the items taste vastly different for the worse. After tasting the hot and sour soup i get a distinct taste of dishwater so ive had to move this from two stars to one. The potstickers are sad. The pork in the kung pao pork is inedible. Gotta toss this and order something else. Really disappointing. To say something positive they do have a new and different authentic Chinese menu that hopefully draws in people they lose on the Chinese American side. read more

They had a great menu at the location but the prices were far too low on their website. Needs to be updated!!!

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Columbus. Food is fantastic. Service isn't the best but the food makes it worth it.

Lucky to have a Mandarin speaking friend who was able to request the non-Americanized menu. Splurged and got spicy beef tongue, sweet and sour pork, stinky tofu, and a-choy. Both meat dishes were some of my favorites I've had in this city. Could tell the stinky tofu was a good quality, but will need to have again before it is in my taste. Unfortunate that many people are unaware of the different menu that seems to be much higher quality than the Chinese-American one displayed on the website. read more

Personally, I did not care for the food. Keep in mind I prefer authentic to Americanized Chinese food. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. It was meh. In the photo is Empress Chicken (basically general Tao's but with veggies). They loaded this bowl up. Felt like 5 pounds of food. The chicken was breaded and fried but was soggy due to them filling it with a sweet and subtle spicy sauce to the brim of the bowl. So if quantity over quality is what you want. Get this. My partner got the terriyaki chicken and he did not like it. Said it was too sweet. The service is good. Very friendly and quick. Overall, I don't think I would order it again. Just not my preference. read more

I love Pacific Eatery. The only reason I don't eat there more often is that I moved. The peanut noodles are fantastic - cool with a bit of backheat from the creamy peanut sauce. Recommend! The wings are really good as well! They are fried and have some sliced jalapeno tossed on after cooking that adds just a bit of heat. They are not coated in sauce, nor do they come with it, but I usually take them home where there's something to dip in. I like the chicken corn soup - egg drop with some meat and corn. The portion sizes are excellent for the prices and they have just about anything you would like. And no matter how much food you order, the wait time is never longer than 15 minutes... read more

Terrible. Must be new management. Ordered delivery on non spicy items. No indication of heat level. Can not even eat it, called and was told that I should have called beforehand to tell them even though it's never been spicy. Good business practice would be to redeliver the right items but that was not an option. We used to love the place but will never order again. Absolutely not the same place. Go elsewhere like Asian Bistro on Land Avenue. Threw it in the trash. read more

Went to this place for the first time Saturday night with friends and family. My wife and I along with this other couple were both badly disappointed when YT Chinese cuisine closed as it had uniquely authentic Chinese food one doesn't find at 90 plus percent of other restaurants with the standard menu of General tso's, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, etc etc. However, Pacific Eatery is every bit as good if not better, and their menu is even more eclectic. But for what it's worth, they do serve more traditional Chinese and Asian dishes, and they do them really well! I had a taste of my son's pad thai, and I think it was the best I've ever had. The food was all around delicious, the service good despite the business being absolutely hopping, and the prices not unreasonable. Definitely worth going to if you want something off the beaten path, or just want standard Chinese food which is nevertheless better tasting than most other restaurants making the same dishes. A new favorite! read more

Sadly I have to say, I stopped in last Sunday 10.1 and ordered 2 orders of my usual salted spicy wings and boy was I disappointed . I don't know what happened in a 3 week period , as I had then left a 5 star review. Please change back to the original recipe . The new wings are terrible and you will lose a big fan base ! read more

This is one of the best Chinese restaurant in Columbus. Price is not cheap but food is great.

It's hard for me to leave a bad review, but I received extremely rude service.They had been closed for a while, I called to ask if they were officially open. My husband and I were planning to go there for dinner. The person who answered the phone didn't respond at all to my question as if just picking up the phone meant they were open. I was really surprised. It was the first time I've encountered such customer service. I said, Okay, got it, and he just hung up on me... I won't be going back. read more

The server was excellent! The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, and my husband ordered crispy orange chicken. Mine had a "flat" favor. It was 85% water chestnuts, 10%chicken and 5% peanuts. Every bite of chicken had tough tendons. I brought it to the server's attention, and she said she would show the chef. My husband's dish was not crispy and had hardly any orange. I have never seen this dish breaded so heavily, the server returned it and ask them to crisp it up. Biggest waste of $50 ever! First and last visit. Can't wait for Hunan Lion to reopen. read more

This business has been sold and has drastically changed. The egg rolls are sub par. What I liked about their egg rolls were that they were house made and also the sweet and sour dipping sauce was also. Now is just the red sauce found in sweet and sour chicken or pork. Menu has been really cut back. When I walked in to pick up my order, the place is a lot different than it was before. I don't like change so this review is my opinion but I felt this was the BEST CHINESE in Columbus and no longer is. By far. So sad my backup Hunan Lion is closed for repairs Egg Rolls read more

After a busy day of moving I ordered Pacific Eatery from Uber Eats as not to loose my momentum with unpacking. The food was hot and delicious. I was very pleased with the quantity as the portions were very generous. Egg FoobYoung has always been a favorite since childhood and Pacific Eatery did not disappoint! My only comment that didn't rate this at 5/5 is that the egg roll and wonton soup were not very flavorful. Otherwise I cannot rave enough about the Crab Rangoons and the Egg Foo Young! read more

This use to be our go to place 15-20 years ago. We tapered away from it and thought we'd try it again. It did disappoint. Crab rangoon 3 stars. Too many large chunks of onions Pad Thai - 2.5 stars. Some of the worst Ive ever had. The flavor was not good at all. We threw it out after a few bites. Hot and sour soup 3.5 stars. Would eat again Chicken and vegetables 3 just ok All in all the food tasted and seemed like it had been sitting for a long time, pre and post cooking. Not fresh and over cooked. read more

I was totally blown away at how delicious all of my food was, and because I had it delivered, so happy that it was all still hot. I read many of the other reviews prior to ordering, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything was even better than I expected. The hot 'n sour soup was one of the best I've had. The fried rice tasty and the triple delight - soooo satisfying. I am eager to try Pacific Eatery again, soon. read more
