I think I may have just found my favorite happy hour in the neighborhood... The inside of this restaurant feels slightly dated, but like an early 2000s modern vibe. And as a child of the late 90s, I freaking loved it. It's still upscale adjacent, but still has cozy touches that remind me of that era. There's a kitchen in the back, a full sushi bar, and a fully stocked bar. This place is great for large and small parties alike. It's actually got quite a large dining room with a nicely shaded patio. It was a bit hot in there when I visited but we were neck-deep in a GA heatwave and it is a very beautifully window-forward venue... thank God it eventually got cooler as the sun went down. I actually like that this place is a little ducked off from the chaos of Peachtree St but it's still super accessible being only a block over. I can't speak for parking as this spot is walking distance for me. The patio is shaded and clean. I'd normally opt to sit outside but it was just too d*mn hot! If you are visiting for Happy Hour, be mindful that seats are technically limited to the patio and bar. There's plenty of patio seats, but not many at the bar. I'm glad we sat at the bar. Our bartender Nicole was awesome, attentive, and just the right amount of talkative. We didn't want for anything. And she did her thing with the drinks. We were the first people in after their second shift opening and she was on it. We had a nice lil kiki with her and the others who eventually filed into the bar. It's on the smaller side, with only 12 seats. But to me (and as a former bartender), that's perfect. The rolls/apps were surprisingly filling... AF! They do not skimp on Happy Hour specials at all, and everything is served to you as if it was coming off of their standard menu. Started with the crab dip, which wasn't my favorite but hubz enjoyed. Everything else was spot on. We initially were going to order a lot thinking they'd do a typical bait-n-switch with portions... ummmm WRONG. My husband is a large guy and commonly complains about how sushi doesn't make a dent for him, and even he was taken aback by how full he was LOL. The specials are tiered (see photo) but the cocktails are a solid $8. Thank God Pacific Rim is walking distance for us because baby we went in; the deal was just too good. After 4 sushi rolls, 5 drinks (judge ya mama!), and an appetizer we clocked out around $85. Heavenly. My only point of frustration -- and this is honestly just trying to find SOMETHING to say -- is the menu presentation. It appears that they rotate the HH drink menu, and while it is attached to their list of roll prices it is overall separate from the regular menu. The HH menu lists the rolls but don't give any details as to what's in it. They give you a standard menu that DOES show this, but it's a bit of a clunky experience to play find-and-seek just to know what exactly you're ordering if you have dietary restrictions or are just plain picky. I'm not, so it wasn't a huge deal. But after a few drinks, let's just say that game of find-and-seek did get a little tricky LMAO. They had a 95A health score when I visited for those who are a little crazy about that (like me). SUPER BONUS POINTS for a clean and spacious bathroom that also happened to have the most beautiful deep scarlet red, glossy tile. There were toilet seat covers in the stalls, which I haven't seen in an Atlanta food establishment in YEARS. Fine... just take all my money at this point. They run this special every weekday from 4:30PM-6:00PM. Happy Hour, anyone? read more

Last minute decision to come here with a group of 13 teens and 2 adults. We made a reservation on open table. Food was excellent, the bartender and server were so helpful in making sections, and it was nice inside! We loved our food and will go back the next time we are in Atlanta. read more

The overall experience was pretty good. Would have been great if our drinks didn't take 30 minutes to arrive while looking at the table next to us who already got all their order including food, when we sat before them. This was poor service from the tall girl, Brown straight hair in pig tail braids with a pink star on her face. The sushi was great. I had the double dragon and I cannot remember the name of it but the more expensive simple eel roll. The 1 glass of plum wine gave me a full on headache the next morning, cheap quality. I had a taste of sake and it was warm and smooth. The star of the night though, was the host. Tall blonde guy who was not only hosting but bussing tables and helping other staff too. He was was everywhere effortlessly and high on customer service. Not sure if he was the GM filling in or really just a host but this kid needs to be the manger. read more

Stumbled in here for a work dinner and we were not disappointed! There is a pretty solid happy hour deal here from 4-6 on weekdays that includes $8 cocktails and wine and special priced appetizers and 20-30% off sushi rolls! Nicole was our bartender and she really made our experience the best! We even came back the next day to grab some drinks because she was so welcoming and hospitable! The sushi rolls were solid and the rice was made nicely. The appetizers were also tasty - the mussels were brothy and flavorful and the gyozas were good. It's a hidden gem in the downtown area if you are looking for a quick bite at a good price! read more

Great place for sushi and drinks. This was my second visit here and will be back when in Atlanta

Service takes forever! Had a company dinner here and they take an easy 45 mins per time they check in on you. Wouldn't recommend

Solid spot for lunch during the week. We arrived just before noon and were seated promptly. We were able to get in and out within the hour. Sushi was good. While they were eager to seat us and get our orders nearly the second we sat down, took a little longer to actually pay. All that being said, I absolutely would go back. Solid menu, good service. Easy to get to. read more

I found this place on Yelp when I needed a late night dinner after a longgg work day. Pricier than I expected but it was yummy ! The sushi roll was decent and the salmon salad was okay. The salmon salad didn't have much salmon on it (it was mostly lettuce) so I wished there was more salmon on it. The location was clean and the staff was friendly. It was good service even though I was a solo diner, which is always a plus! read more

We had a great experience here! Our server was super friendly and really made the night enjoyable--attentive, kind, and just overall great energy. The ambiance was also a big plus--loved the cool lighting and the beautiful light-up tree inside, it gave the place a really nice vibe. As for the food, I tried the Playboy Roll which looked really cool, but the taste didn't quite live up to the presentation--just okay. My girlfriend got the Golden Tiger roll and that one was way better, super flavorful. We finished with the chocolate cake which was alright, nothing too special but a nice end to the meal. Overall, solid spot with great service and atmosphere. Would definitely come back and try a few different rolls next time. read more

Service was excellent and the sushi was delicious!! They had good happy hour specials on both food and drinks. Also got fried oysters and they were delicious. Went with a few friends and we all enjoyed our meal. Nice vibe in the restaurant too. Would definitely visit again next time I'm in Atlanta. read more

A really fun, classic sushi spot for after work drinks and snacks, Pacific Rim hit the spot on a recent weeknight. The martinis are cold and classic, and the rainbow roll was fresh, tender, and delicious. A great midtown option. read more

Such friendly staff and really quick service! Didn't try the sushi, but most people around us were ordering and eating it all so I'd like to think it was good! The staff was familiar with most of the customers and the atmosphere was cozy in downtown. I appreciated the gluten free marks on the menu and the Pad Thai was a large portion and really tasty! Also ordered at the table was the 7 spice beef dish (not gluten free) that got high remarks for not being too drenched in sauce and having rich flavor. The sushi lunch specials seem like a great deal for weekday diners! Being in the business district it was pretty quiet for a Friday night, perfect for a quick dinner out not at a hotel restaurant. read more

My son and I had just landed in Atlanta tonight and were looking for a quick bite to eat and this place had a menu displayed that appealed to us - we got there around 8.45 PM and even though it was close to closing time they graciously served us. Between us we got the Crab Rangoon ( good not great!) , the Mongolian Beef ( my son loved that!) and the spicy chicken ramen ( the chicken was rubbery but the broth was on point amazing!) A bit pricey but it's in a nice area and has a wonderful ambiance and service was attentive ! It was also the first meal son and mother were having in Atlanta together - so yes in my books a keeper! read more

I came to Pacific Rim on strange circumstances. Basically, my friend and I opted to go because another friend of ours was going on a date there and requested us, the good friends we are, to tag along secretly to ensure everything went well. Discounting the clandestine nature of the dinner... I really enjoyed Pacific Rim! The interior has a nice, classy ambiance. We were seated almost immediately, and our server was prompt and very kind. She knew the menu well, and readily recommended a few reasonably priced dishes per my friend's request. We got the appetizer of calamari (scrumptious), and then I got the chicken Pad Thai and my friend go the Wanchi Shrimp. Both were delicious. The restaurant is on the pricier side (a symptom of their prime location, I imagine), but it doesn't feel excessive. Overall, I would certain recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Things I enjoyed : 1. the avocado rolls,( fresh and tasty) 2. The chicken fried rice had fresh cucumber , tomatoes and chicken. The rice mixture tasted fresh and not at all overly oily or too salty . It was delicious. We also had shrimp pad Thai. It was very heavy on the Ponzu sauce. It was good but I probably wouldn't order it again because it was so saucy. I ordered a ginger martini and it was a beautiful presentation but I personally did not care for the taste. One of the ladies at the table liked it more than I did but we both agreed it needed to be much colder and maybe have some simple syrup added . In their defense the restaurant was very busy so maybe my complaints could have been voiced if the waiter had attended to our table . However in all the time I was there I was not offered a refill of water or asked how we were enjoying the meal. Might give it another try if we are down there again. read more

Not bad, but not great either. The whole downtown ATL vibe has been low energy, many places closed Mondays or Tuesdays, so you're left settling. We did get great service here so all 3 stars go to that. The food was good but nothing that you couldn't get outside at another nearby sushi place. read more

I ordered a sushi roll and fried rice on Uber eats... it was not a large order at all. The driver was waiting at the restaurant for so long they had to leave(she waited for over 20 minutes so I do not blame the driver at all...). I wouldn't recommend ordering from here. The food took so long to arrive we ended up late for our plans. (This is due to it saying it would be 15/30 minutes delivery window and it took over an hour.) read more

The food was great. The ramen was just right. Spicy means spicy. The environment was warm yet modern. Would be 4.5 stars but the service seemed to forget about us. Once we became convinced that our servers had gone home we had to get up and ask another server for our check. I would eat here again. But I would temper my expectations of service. read more

When we arrived we were greeted promptly and brought to our table. We made reservations about 2 hours in advance. We were thrilled they were able to accommodate a large group last minute. The ambiance is a little more casual bc the outside of the building and interior is a little older but everything is very clean. For appetizers we had the steamed dumplings, gyoza and edamame. We really liked both the gyoza dumpling and steamed dumplings. The Tom collins was a little sweet but still really good. I got the Sumo Roll and Snow White roll and they were amazing! The sumo roll has fresh crab and I loved the that it was drizzled in eel sauce which was so good! The Snow White roll was awesome, I've never had a sushi roll with sweet thai chili. I really liked the balance of sweet and sour, wish it would've had real crab but otherwise was great. Our waitress was very attentive and came by many times to refill our water. Overall it was a great experience, I think some of the negative reviews are a little harsh. It less then 5 min from Hilton Atlanta so an east walk if you're staying at that hotel. read more
