    Good selection of Hawaiian Sun beverages.  Must be a good kine local place.
    Jamie H.

    Excellent local Hawaiian food. Ono kine chicken katsu curry and bentos. Good kine desert and a wide selection of local Hawaii food.

    Poi butter mochi- the last one!
    Vivian H.

    Wow, the food is delicious here! This place has been popping up in my social media feeds and I love Hawaiian style food and gave this place a try today. At 11:20am, already a bunch of people eating here and one group already walked out. I ordered the Hawaiian plate and also got a poi butter mochi. I've never had poi before but can report back that the poi butter mochi is very yummy! I did a little research and poi is a traditional Hawaiian food made from a starchy root, similar to taro, called kalo. I love taro, ube and many starchy root vegetables, so this was up my alley. I could tell from the packaging that the poi was probably a starchy root vegetable. Not too sweet at all and quite tasty! It's not like Taiwanese mochi which is my reference point and there's no filling but the sticky and sweetness suits me. I love it! And I bought the last one for today. I can see myself coming to buy this very often! I will also say that the Hawaiian platter was very well made. The mac salad is how it is supposed to be made. I've also never had lau lau, but in my culture, we have something similar (think: Chinese tamales, known as zhongzi) and it was so good, and flavorful. I also went home and did some research and lau lau is made with meat and vegetables stuffed inside taro leaves and then wrapped in ti leaves. The ti leaves are discarded after the lau lau is cooked. The taro leaves is what gives the meat and vegetables a distinct flavor. It reminded me of home, felt like comfort food for me! The lomi salmon (sort of like poke and initially I thought it was pico de gallo lol - but its salted raw salmon with diced raw tomatoes and onions) portion was small, but so good, very well seasoned. The haupia is a coconut pudding dessert, reminds me of a coconut dessert I can make. Not too sweet at all and perfect for a hot day, so refreshing! My only gripe is that the rice was on the tad dry side. Everything was so good here and I already want to come back! I'll be back to have their poke bowls and try their daily specials, the guava cake and Chantilly cake! They also have ube mochi and butter mochi too, so I will be back to try those too! The island vibes here are so legit, come give it a try! Hawaiian reggae was playing and they also bring in live music performers too. When you're missing Hawaii, do come here, your heart, spirit and tummy will be so happy you did!

    This has to be my favorite hawaiian restaurant in the valley!! My familly and I were in the area and starving!! I remembered saving this spot on my tiktok so we decided to try it out. We walked in and it was pretty full! We totally got a warm welcome and got amazing recs. I decided to get the Pacific Rim Combo because I couldn't decide what to order... this meal has a little bit of everything & wow everything was so delicious! It comes with so much food I had at least half for leftovers, it's worth the price for sure! My mom ordered the poke bowl, it was so fresh and so good!! I'll definitely have to order it the next time I come in. The service was amazing, we spoke to the owners (husband & wife) and they were so friendly which is another great reason to want to go back!

    Pacific Rim Poke Bowl

    Tried their Pacific rim combo today ($18) and my mouth was watering. The kalbi, beef, and chicken were so delicious and tender. The mac and cheese was also so good too. I usually get their poke bowl, but I am so glad I tried their pacific rim combo today. Inside the restaurant is very cozy with cute hawaiin decor. Service is very fast and efficient. They take card which is always a plus. Definitely a frequent place I go to and always crave for.

    Ahi tuna tasted really fresh and clean with no iron-y aftertaste. I liked the barbecue beef and kalbi, heads up they are on the sweeter side. I would probably skip the char siu next time, but it was solid. The macaroni salad is the kind without vinegar, but it was pretty good. I would come back, probably want to try the loco moco next time or the katsu. Warning, they do automatically add a $3 water bottle to the bill which I thought was strange, so make sure to watch out for that. The restaurant is decorated with a hawaiian theme and it's a cute spot.

    Still the Best Hawaiian Food in AZ We went again on Saturday and, even though it was super busy with people coming and going, the food and service were amazing as always. What we ordered: * 3 chicken katsu plates * 1 Pacific Rim combo (char siu chicken + teri beef) * 1 Hawaiian plate (laulau, kalua pig, mac salad, lomi salmon, haupia) * 6 musubi * 3 containers of poi * 2 containers of shoyu ahi poke * 2 containers of Hawaiian ahi poke Every single item was on point. The laulau was moist and flavorful, the katsu was perfectly cooked, the poke was fresh, and even the poi tasted just like home. Service & Atmosphere: The owner was away at a Hawaiian Hālau event, but the restaurant still had plenty of staff keeping things running smoothly. That says a lot about how well the place is run--you can feel that everyone takes pride in keeping the aloha spirit alive. Bottom line: No matter how busy they are, Pacific Rim always delivers. The food is consistently authentic, the staff is friendly, and it still feels like stepping back into Hawaiʻi every time we visit.

    I was in town to run a marathon. I stopped in here to get dinner. It was easy to find on Southern Ave, across the street from Mesa Community College. Service was very nice and friendly. I ordered their Hawaiian plate (laulau, kalua pig, rice & mac, lomi salmon, and haupia). The food was good and certainly reminded me of all of my past visits to Hawaii. They even had a TV that showed clips of popular Hawaiian spots.

    galbi plate and wasabi ahi poke

    I am a huge fan of hawaiian food and this is one of the best I've ever had. Don't let the flickering lights deter you, the food and service is top notch. Came an hour before closing and felt as welcome as if it were their first hour of service. Every component of every dish was done right. Galbi was flavorful with crispy edges, poke was fresh and covered in fresh wasabi sauce. Even the macaroni in the mac salad and the rice were cooked perfectly. 10/10, would go out of my way to try more of their menu.

    Omg!! Yes the flavors that hit my heart and brought me back to family bbq's on Kauai! Thank you. Service is amazing and so friendly, restaurant was chill place and music reminds me of my teen years! This right here is authentic island food and aloha service. Been out here in Az since 2011 it's 2025 and I am thankful people recommended this place! Will definitely be back! Thanks again see you next time.

    Pacific Rim Combo - Beef Teriyaki, Char-Siu Chicken, Kal-Bi Rib, Rice & Mac

    I went to Oahu with my husband about 4 years ago and fell in love with the food, especially the homestyle Hawaiian comfort food. Coming to Pacific Rim & Sushi was like falling in love with the food all over again. I had missed this flavor so much! The Laulau was juicy, smoky, with just a hint of bitterness from the taro leaves and no one does it better than they do here in AZ. You know it's good when they order the taro leaves direct from Hawaii in order to get the best ones and they hand make their 7 spice powder for the char siu chicken. In fact, everything is house-made from scratch. You can taste the love and care in every bite. The Kalua pork was tender and dripping with flavor. I could probably eat my body weight in that stuff! And the char siu chicken is fantastic with that special seasoning. I'll happily drive from Buckeye to Mesa for that any day! The owners and manager are super friendly and informative and I could have chatted with them all day. It really did feel like sitting down with good friends and relaxing with great food and conversation. I'm itching to go back already because I have my eye on trying that Loco Moco and Poke for sure and anything else they put in front of me!

    What a nice visit to this cozy restaurant. Great service with relaxing Hawaiian vibes. Our dishes were such a big hit, 10 out of 10!

    Came in on a Wednesday night around 3:45 p.m. there are 3 people working. Super friendly as you come in with an Aloha! I ordered the poke bowl with fried garlic ahi! Also wanted to try their pacific rim combo! Smells delicious and made to order! A little taste of the Hawaii!

    Inside

    If you're looking for some plate lunch or Hawaiian food, this place is decent. I came with really low expectations and was surprised by some menu items. Some dishes are like eating in Hawaii, but others are not. For example, the spicy garlic chicken is not what you think it is. It's just grilled chicken with chili paste on top. Not like your battered and fried spicy garlic chicken. Also the poke is disappointing. Poke should just come with fish and rice yet here they add all this nonsense in. It's a small inside, but not super busy so you'll find a place to it most likely. I recommend trying their weekly special. You can find the weekly special on their instagram. I had their mochiko chicken. If they have this on the menu, order it, you can like my review later. It's fried chicken that's marinated and battered in rice flour. So it like mochi surrounding the chicken. Their Mac salad is fire. You always judge a plate lunch place by their Mac salad and it passed. I also had their Katsu moco which was a special and was also super good. The katsu was a little sweet which was a nice add. Anywho again they have some stuff they don't tailor to the mainland tongue, but most of the plates they do. Try it out and judge for yourself.

The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

Reviews are very good and so we gave it a try on a Saturday evening. When we arrived there were 2 people eating at the sushi counter, otherwise it was empty. During our time there another couple came in, so it was not busy and easy to get a table. The server was very friendly and service was great. For that I'll push my rating to 4 stars. For me, this place is personally 3.5/5. Everything was decent but nothing I would rave about. And that might just be me, because people love this place in other reviews. It was possibly just a bunch of little things that made me think it's just okay. I thought the texture of sushi rice was a bit too soft, I know it's sticky rice but I felt like it was a little over cooked and too soft. I also thought both of my rolls tasted exactly the same. Which thankfully I thought were good tasting. The stuffed jalapeños were definitely a miss, they were so under fried so mostly a mush of ingredients in a jalapeño. And initially I liked the karaage but had a couple of tough pieces, so overall that was just okay. Miso soup was solid. And I realize that the appetizers are cooked in the back and not by sushi chef, and people rave about the chef. However like I said, both rolls seemed pretty similar tasting and one was supposed to be more spicy. All very standard flavors, like I would expect from AYCE sushi. I think I'm just looking for more delicate flavors with higher quality pieces of fish. I likely should have tried some of the special items listed on the rotating items board near the sushi bar. Next time we go back I'll try sitting at the sushi bar and trying some speciality items. People have said this is the best way to enjoy this place. We will likely come back during a lunch or happy hour special, if I like it better and I can upgrade my review I'd be happy to give this small, local family run business all the stars.
