This place looks great and the vibe was fun but identity is lost. Country music is blaring (although I love country) in what is supposed to be a sushi restaurant. I should have tried their inventive stir fry options but ordered the salmon. I asked that it be cooked well done, which the waitress said she loved too. What I got was an undercooked mushy mess. The skin was gelatinous and rather repulsive. The veggies, were the only saving grace. read more

It had been a while since my last visit, but I was craving good sushi. Ordered the salmon/avocado and Mango/spicy tuna rolls. The portions were very generous & were quite delicious. It was a cold day out, so I decided on a hot bowl of Ramen as well. What can I say? Other than it really hit the spot, so comforting. The best part of my experience was the service. Prompt & friendly from beginning to end. I rarely leave reviews, but when a place leaves me feeling so content, they deserve to know. read more

Pacific Rim - Mango/spicy tuna - Asian Fusion Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

Service was unacceptable. Lost our reservation. Seated in the corner. Hostess brought water but said could not take drink order as she was not 18. Left after 30 minutes as no one else approached table to take any type of order. Will not go back. read more

Do yourself a favor and skip this place. If you like Terrible service and a horrible hostess and wait staff. This is your place!

So, I didn't try any food here. This review is for my experience only, and not for the food. Here is why.... I stopped in after a long road trip. I enjoyed the fact that they have an actual bar. I sat at the bar and was served my drink. The bartender was quick to greet me and quick to serve. Then......I decided to order sushi. The nigiri options were BBQ eel (Unagi?), tuna, yellowtail and Izumi Dai (fancy word for farm raised Tilapia). I asked what type of tuna the "tuna" was as I see they also had "yellowtail". The server could not answer. She asked the sushi chef (who was in the back out of view). She came back and said "it's regular tuna". She seemed upset when I asked what "regular tuna" is. She told me it's "just regular" tuna "that's what he said". I was surprised that a sushi restaurant would not know the variety of fish they served and would further claim it's "regular tuna". Maguro, blue fin, etc??? Since I couldn't see nor talk to the guy who was to prepare raw fish of an unidentified variety, I chose to pay for my drink and not risk this adventure. They were unable to tell me what the BBQ eel was. Was it fresh water (unagi)? Sea eel? Of course I wouldn't expect a bartender to know all food she served unless it was in a sushi restaurant, but you would think the chef who is going to prepare it for you would. I would probably recommend anyone who cares anything about what type of fish you are eating to stay away. Unacceptable that a decent looking restaurant has no idea what fish they are serving. I wonder if they know where it came from? read more

Been here twice now and It isn't all it's cracked up to be. Tried the sushi one day and although it wasn't as bad, I have tasted better. It was like an ingredient was missing!! But the second time it was a group and each it was 50% hit or miss! Salmon had no flavor and the Kung Pao steak stir fry was much to be desired. Rice had no 'fry' component at all and it was missing salt. read more

The establishment is clean and the ambiance is appealing so I was disappointed in my visit. I ordered a glass of wine to start and was informed I had to buy the entire bottle as is their policy, so they don't let it go to waste because they don't get enough people that order it, despite there being wine displays all over the restaurant. Ordered their lettuce wraps to start and was served seasoned ground chicken, iceberg lettuce and hoisin sauce, which was pretty disappointing. After that, their sushi didn't have any quality fish on the menu besides crab and spicy tuna (which is just ground up seasoned yellowfin). There is higher quality sushi and variety at the local grocery store. However, the staff was nice, prompt and honest which I can appreciate. The sad thing it has so much potential if it just upped the quality of their menu. People here seem to enjoy it so this is obviously just my humble opinion. Try it out for yourself tho. read more

Place was packed so the food did not come out quickly but it was worth the wait. I ordered the mango roll and it was delicious. Service was good for how busy this place was. Definitely would go back! read more

I suppose in this area, Pacific Rim is pretty unique. It bills itself as fusion, but that is definitely not the case - at best, it just has Americanized international offerings. Nothing fusion about it. I really wanted to Like this place, but both times I've been, the food is just unbelievably bad. The choose-your-own stir fry was barely cooked, barely warm, and drowning in sauce. Plus, the plate was mostly rice with almost no vegetables, and the scallops were basically inedible. Gross. I gave it another shot a few weeks later and tried the halibut, a personal favorite. It was extremely dry and full of bones. Like, chalky dry. The sweet potato mash was delicious, but the side shouldn't be the only good part of the meal. On the bright side, the place is casual. You can wear jeans and sandals, and no one cares. On the flip side, the interior is tacky, the food sucks, and it's incredibly overpriced, even to my Austin sensibilities. So yeah. Unless you're just going to be ordering the cream of asparagus soup and a side salad, don't bother. read more

This is Hobbs, so your options are minimal. As opposed to the Applebees across the street this place is staffed much better. The restaurant is huge with a cool ambiance. The staff is super friendly and efficient. The menu has an amazing variety. Happy hour from 3-6. We had house salads which were really good size and a nice mix of greens and other veggie goodies. It also had some of the lightest, crispiest croutons I have ever had. For the entree, we split the "build your own fried rice." Our selections were scallops, asparagus, broccoli, snow peas, jalapeños, and some other veggie. My dining companion and I could not agree on a sauce, so we got 2 on the side. Both were super tasty. If you find yourself in Hobbs; save yourself from the chains and go somewhere local! At PR you can have Italian, a burger, Asian, just about anything. And it's served up in a reasonably cool atmosphere by some friendly folks. read more

We went here for Valentine's Day, we called ahead and they said come on down. We were seated as soon as we got there. There was live music and they had flowers on each table, very nice touch. My husband and I had the hot & sour soup, for starters, very good! We really enjoyed the sushi. The shrimp tempura was perfectly sweet, the roll had exactly what I wanted in it. My son got the kids nachos and loved them. We finished with chocolate cake & ice cream that was a perfect ending to our great meal! read more

Pacific Rim - Salmon roll, California roll, Ebi roll (tempura was perfect) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

I've had the chance to eat here many times when traveling through town. Folks continuously rave about the food; yet I find my experiences trending in a downward direction especially considering the pricing. I find their menu too large and as a result they only cook about half of their items properly. Suggested items would be some of salads with fish. Items to avoid include sushi and stir fry. The sushi quality is OK considering the area but portion control is all over the map. As regards to the stir fry, it often seems to taste like they don't clean the wonk very well between orders and you end up with the flavor from the previous customer. Stir fry can also be over sauced. As for the service, in the bar it is terrible. The lady working there is the biggest "Debbie Downer" ; the service in the dinning area is slightly better. I only give this place 2 stars because it is local and can't stand the chain restaurants. nJOY and support local! read more

This place has an amazing menu. The choices are great and tasty. The staff is highly professional and very helpful and friendly. It is a amazing experience. read more

Seeking something different from our usual chain fare after a long day of work we came here. I do like myself some seafood but always iffy with it since I have food allergies when seafood isn't so fresh. I did have a minor reaction but nothing out of ordinary but what do I expect when I'm in Hobbs? I shared some calamari and got a talapia and shrimp salad. Flavors were good but not really particular "Asian" influenced as one may expect...and I should know I'm Asian. It's ok fusion with a variety of options that looked pretty good. I liked what I ate but wasn't wow-ed by anything honestly. It's definitely a different and refreshing restaurant from what you'd find around town (which isn't much). I also got a bottled beer I haven't seen anywhere which was pretty yummy as well. Overall, service and food ok just not amazing...but then again I'm biased and live in California where fresh seafood and fusion or Asian cuisine is easier to come by. read more

Shocking... The sushi was the best I've had in the Texas/New Mexico area. However it's hard to enjoy eating here as the prices are very high, confusing menu with Italian food, confusing Asian and American food. These guys need to stick to the "Pacific Rim" and they will be all five stars. Do not order the won ton soup, for the price you literally get one won ton in a bowl of green onion broth. Order sushi and you will be happy. Like I was. read more

They say Asian Fusion Cuisine...looking at the menu it's a lot more like Asian Confusion! I get frustrated when restaurants dilute their brand identity. I have to sadly say, a terrible dining experience. Looks like the cooks forgot to follow their own menu descriptions. Service was spotty at best! The manager purposely sent another server over to ask for our drink order when he knew another server took it already just to "mess with him". The margarita was SO bad I could barely drink it...all sour mix and very little tequila. I know Hobbs is a small town with not too many restaurant options...but come on people this was beyond bad. The stuffed avocado was suppose to be tempura battered....that was not tempura! The food was not seasoned and the ingredients in the entrees seemed like they just took random ideas and put it together. If it was not for sriracha and chili oil it would not have been edible. Service team needs to be trained, big time. The manager spent most of his time hanging at the bar. Should have gone to Subway! read more

Terrible is an understatement. Imagine going to Sam's Club or COSTCO and assembling everything for an Asian dinner. That's what this place is. Terrible egg rolls. Terrible main dishes. Brown sauce that seriously I thought smelled like sewage. Undercooked noodles. Waitress never asked if our food was good. Left 90% on the plate. No need for a to- go box. I can honestly say this is the worst Asian food I've had on my life. Seriously disappointed. read more

The food is not that great. Also sent some food back that tasted awful;and the manager tried to charge me for the food sent back. read more

Pacific Rim - Asian Fusion Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

Delish! My husband and I have been to Hobbs several times and I finally talked him into visiting Pacific Rim. It didn't disappoint! I don't know why Jennifer K had such a bad time, but our food was wonderful. We started with a nice bottle of Petit Syrah (great wine list) and the Crab Rangoon appetizers, which were lightly fried and nicely presented. We followed that with hot and sour soup, which was very flavorful. I chose the Ahi Tuna sushi--yum! Hubby had the choose-your-own stir fry which was more than enough for two people. Service was prompt and efficient and prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend it and we will return soon!! read more

I am a fan of their service and their eclectic menu. My traveling companion and I stopped by for dinner on night one of out TEEX training week. We ordered the lettuce wraps and pot stickers for appetizers. Nothing very impressive about the wraps (they served it with iceberg lettuce which made it impossible to "roll") but the pot stickers and dipping sauce were the real deal. My buddy had the tenderloin salad which he enjoyed and I had the build your own stir fry (vegetarian) with the sechzwan sauce. the veggies were cooked well and the sauce was decent. The extra star is for Shaun, our waiter. He was very pleasant, personable and helpful and also the coach of the local Jr. College basketball team. read more

Classy restaurant with great food and service We stopped here for lunch on Saturday afternoon. The restaurant has a very nice ambience. We ate the stir fry noodles and pasta, both of which were delicious. Highly recommended! read more

Best Sushi place in all the surroundings. It is worth going over there from both odessa and midland. Amazing staff and good selection of beers. read more

Simply the nicest restaurant for 100 miles. If you have a first date to impress, or a big event to celebrate, this is where you go. Used to be a great Chinese buffet, now it is a very good Asian fusion restaurant. My favorite is the fried rice with all the meats. Easily enough to feed 3 people, it's fresh and tasty. Their egg drop soup is a miracle cure for anything that ailes you. read more

I recently went back after a few years of not going (just hadn't made it there in a while). The new bar area is VERY nice, food is good, prices are reasonable, and the service was pretty good. Pacific Rim is back on my list of places to go! They would benefit from staying open a bit later. read more

Friendly courteous staff, I ate a couple rolls for lunch. They are ok, a little dry but ok. I can't really say much about the food as I've only been there once and only ate a couple rolls. Give it a try and vote for yourself. read more

Seriously this place is amazing! The food is good, drinks are better, but the service is phenomenal. We had a problem with one of our plates and EVERYONE jumped to help us solve our problem. No questions asked. I really recommend this place if your are looking for a good night out!!!!!!! Something away from the norm. read more

This place sucks! Overpriced for subpar food, even for Hobbs. Eggshell in our food. Classic Chinese brown sauce was more of a gray color. Just awful. Food was hot in some areas and cold in others. Atmosphere was dingy and smelly. read more

Went on a Tuesday when they were supposed to have fresh fish for sushi. The fish was old and rubbery. I can honestly say I will NOT be coming back here anytime soon. read more

We travel from Waco to Cloudcroft a couple of times each summer, and stop in Hobbs. Our go-to place for a light dinner is Pacific Rim. The bar has a nice ambiance and an adequate wine selection. The crab Rangoon appetizer is delicious. And Adrian is superb. He is in the bar and efficiently and smoothly takes orders and delivers wine and food, all the while with a friendly, not obtrusive manner. We highly recommend Pacific Rim. read more

Stopped here the other day and was disappointed. For starters the waitress seemed interested in not sure but it wasn't waiting on us. She was sort of rude. The new chef they got he needs to go back k to cooking school. Not only did food come out cold and I mean cold. They have drastically cut back on not only the portions but what was supposed to be shrimp in my entree I counted 3. Will not go back till they get it together and a new cook !! read more

We have loved your restaurant for many years but tonight was absolutely the worst service ever. When we were seated there were two sets of silverware. It took at least 10 minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us. She brought our drinks fairly quickly and took our appetizer order but said she would be back to take our order. We waited over 20 minutes for our appetizer and she had still not taken our order. The appetizer was cold. We ordered three soups and a salad to go with our meals but they never came. We received our meals and the food runner asked if we needed anything else. We told her we never received our soups and salads and we didn't have silverware. By that time husband and daughter just took the forks from the two sets we had. Our soups and his salad came out when we were finishing our meal. Our waitress never checked on us again and we had to get up and find our own salt pepper and soy sauce. Drinks were never refilled and so it's frustrating to be charge $3 for one cup. We looked for a manager but never saw one. Very sad to see it in such a poor state. read more

This is a great fine dining place. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The seafood is delectable and prepared exquisitely. I would highly recommend this for a professional dinner, or a date night. The potstickers were great. The grilled salmon even better. Friendly service. Very hospitable. Great Asian Fusion in little Hobbs. read more

So evidently, you're supposed to check with the cook, will not use the term chef, to insure that he is willing to prepare what you have decided on. I ordered the Beef Udon Soup. After some time the waitress came back and told me that the kitchen said that they were out of noodles. Not wanting anything else on the menu I voiced my opinion of an under stocked kitchen. Shortly later the waitress came back to the table and said that the kitchen cook had lied because HE didn't want to cook Udon soup and that the manager would be preparing my Udon. I am a manager myself, my employees DO NOT decide whether or not they will perform their duties. I am really disappointed in what has been one of my favorite restaurants. The server and manager earned the extra star. It should be a one. Do something with your kitchen staff to insure that there is not a repeat. On second thought, One Star it is. read more

In this eastern corner of New Mexico, Tex/Mex, Mexican, steakhouse, home-style cooking and chains seems to be the norm. So what a surprise to find an Asian-themed restaurant in Hobbs, NM during a quest for decent Chinese food. Pacific Rim is run by a local Asian family who own a fairly popular local Chinese buffet restaurant. The restaurant's title hints at the menu theme - Asian cuisine from countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean area (China, Japan, Hawaii, California). The appetizer, soup/salad and entree menus reflect this theme. Their signature is the 'create your own stir-fry' option. You can choose from several combinations, or create your own if you feel adventurous. Service and ambiance is good - the restaurant is decorated at least 2 notches above casual dining, but you can still show up in jeans for dinner. The servers are very attentive and earnestly want you to enjoy your dining experience. In a concession to customer demand, they've added an Italian/create your own pasta' section to their menu. And they've started to expand their menu to include more European cuisines (eg - a spanish paella special they had one night). Hopefully they don't lose their original idea/mission in their effort to please the local palates. read more

Best Place to eat in Hobbs!!! Joe Is Awesome!!! Would Definitely Recommend this Place. They have a little bit of everything, From Street Tacos, to Fine Dining. read more

Ok. I recommended them to my co-worker. I also went here a few times again. I must say, the service here is okay to not good. I don't like the fact that they start cleaning the place up while you're eating. That is very rude, especially you're posing to be a fancier restaurant in this town. I don't like that they're sweeping around my table, and putting the chairs up while I'm finishing my meal. Again, to-go here is a better option than dining in. I also brought my friends who were visiting me for Thanksgiving before. The food is not great, for the price we're paying. Again, the only good thing here is the lettuce wraps. My co-worker complained about them too. Her husband has gout so he cannot have soda. Her sister-in-law brings them lemonade, and they charge them $5 for bringing drinks outside. Seriously??? I live really close to this restaurant, but I would not spend my money here. If you want to keep customers, do not clean the restaurant while your customers are eating, have better customer service, and make your food nicer. Just because you're one of the only places in town to eat doesn't mean people will just stick to you even if your food and service is not good. I'm Asian, and this place is not really Asian Fusion. It's more like American Fusion-ish-ish. I miss PF Chang's and Panda Express, and I can't believe I'm saying that... read more

Pacific Rim is like everyplace else in Hobbs: it is a crapshoot as to what you will get. Sometimes you go and the food is wonderful and the service is spot on. Other times you go, and it is a completely different experience.I do love the crab Rangoon and the lettuce wraps. read more

I recently tried this place with my husband. It had a nice atmosphere. We had sat at one of the smaller tables by the bar and when the waiter brought us our drinks he accidentally spilled one all over me. It was horrible but I was having a good day and didn't want it ruined so we just moved to another table. It wasn't too bad. Anyways, we ordered and got the create your own stir fry from the menu and it was really good. Best Asian food that you can get around here. read more

First of all, they brought my son's cheeseburger at least 20 minutes before the rest of the meal. The caterpillar roll was bland and my sister ordered the beef medallions well done which were medium rare when we received them. They also forgot the carrots on her meal. By the time they corrected her meal, I finished mine. It took forever. The service was spotty. The manager seemed not to care about the entire ordeal. We did get a discount on that meal, but he noticed our drinks weren't charged. So I guess the joke was on us bc our "after complaint price" was more than the one before. Will never go again! read more
