    Beautiful interior
    Yuri T.

    4 star but really, I might be leaning towards a 3.5 star. We went for lunch on a week day. There was only one other table seated. We decided on our food quickly, but it took a while for it to arrive. Think "island time" which for us, it was okay since we were both off today. But keep this in mind if you are in a rush during your lunch hour. Food: We ordered the Mochiko Chicken, Huli Huli chicken, and island fried rice. Our favorite was Mochiko chicken for sure. We both agreed that it was the best dish, and definitely would go back just for that! The Huli Huli chicken was good, but lukewarm at best when it arrived. My husband likes his food piping hot and so he was disappointed in that. It was like teriyaki chicken with a thicker sauce. It was fine. The Island Fried rice was good, but also nothing to rave about. Seemed like a simple fried rice (not Chinese style fried rice tho) with fried egg, slice of spam, and slice of Portuguese sausage. Fine, nothing great. The server running the bar also was our waiter, he was really kind and patient. He also gave us some recommendations with the Mochiko chicken, he recommended that with would be tossed in something. It was good, but not sure if I needed that? Yummy, but I think I'll try it plain for better judgment next time! The waiter also suggested we come on a Friday or Saturday night for live band! And we will definitely want to come back for that :) Space: really open, cute space. The entrance area had a bit of a sticky bar feel, but other than that, clean. It's downstairs when you enter from the outside, there was an elevator to the left with a ram into the restaurant. Overall a good experience. We will be back with kids, but will order Mochiko Chicken and something else!

    Zesty Coco Beef

    My friend and I dined at Pasifika Grill and Bar for lunch, and the food was delicious. So glad there's Pacific Islander food in Bellevue, which is not easily found thus is hard to come by. This is a gem in the area, but it's not for those in a rush. Pasifika Grill and Bar is located on the lower level of Hotel 116 in the Wilburton neighborhood of Bellevue. Hotel restaurants aren't always the best spots, and its predecessor, which was also a bar, didn't last for long. But Pasifika is much-needed in the area. My friend and I visited during our lunch break on a Wednesday and fortunately, we weren't in a rush because the service was on the slower side as there was only one server for the entire restaurant. But at least we knew the food was cooked fresh, which was obvious when we got our plates because we had to wait for it to cool down. I ordered the zesty coco beef, which is a coconut curry with tons of lemon and was sour with tender pieces of beef and rice. I really enjoyed the meal as it was comforting and delicious. I highly recommend trying! My friend ordered the beef kelaguen, which she enjoyed, but said the lumpia was mid. I'd love to come back and explore more of the menu for some island bites and cocktails made with POG! Oh yeah!

    Happy hour menu - IG @bougiefoodieboi
    Kyle W.

    Happy hour review: I went here during happy hour which is a bit challenging normally since it is Monday to Friday 2-5:30pm, right around most people working 9-5. But because it was the day after Christmas, it was easy for us to go on Friday around 4pm and surprisingly despite being holidays, it was not busy at all. We walked in immediately and were seated at a 2-top. The prices for happy hour are really really good - most items are $6-10 or more off so we saved almost 50% off. A bottle of house wine is $12 which is almost unheard of in Seattle restaurants. I can't even get decent wine for that low at a winery or most grocery stores, and that price is less than a lot of cocktails in bars. Happy hour food is at most $10 and they are regularly sized. We got the following to try - Old Fashioned Passion ($9) - really solid take of classic old fashioned with a tropical twist. It is a bit sweet but it is still a strong drink - Local Girl drink ($8) - really easy to drink, fizzy. At first glance I thought it was a mocktail - Pork lumpia ($6) - 3 pieces with dipping sauce. Decent start for food - Kalua nachos ($10) - lots of wonton chips and a decent amount of Kalua pork and cream. I recommend consuming immediately as it gets cold fast - Pork belly bites ($10) - very hearty, good fat to meat ratio. Perfect source of protein and fairly high quality - Ota w/ taro chips ($10) - raw fish with taro chips. Fairly fresh, love the combination. Extremely good value since you can't find good ceviche at this price point anywhere nearby - Pani popo ($9) - baked bread with condensed milk and macadamia nuts. Really good and fairly unique dessert Service is attentive as they give water refills and check up on us occasionally.

    $5 for barely filled hot sauce
    Wendy T.

    The good - the kalbi was outstanding, loved it so much. The really disappointing was that I asked for hot sauce on a to go order and they charged me $5.18 without telling me. I noticed this after I paid, thinking how could two entrees possibly cost $80? I get you have to pay for good food but if someone asks for hot sauce, I would expect to be told it costs something and it's really expensive. I couldn't find it on the menu either so I want to believe they wouldn't charge in the restaurant. Hulu Hulu chicken was mid at best, decent flavor, too chewy for me. I wanted to love the place but I was mostly disappointed.

    Loco Moco
    Jia W.

    Let me just say that this Loco Moco not only left me speechless but I found myself in horizontal mode on the couch. The dish comes with a generous scoop of rice, a well-seasoned beef patty, silky brown gravy, and a perfectly cooked sunny side egg on top. Each bite was heart and truly satisfying, the kind of food that makes sense as an all day meal but not just a "fun" menu item. The vibe matches the comforting style of the food, welcoming with the focus on hospitality over hype. Part of the charm is how tucked away it feels for a Bellevue restaurant, which makes it feel like a place you "discovered" and then keeping in your back pocket. Also, the servers were nothing but hospitable! If you're in Bellevue and craving series, comfort food, Pasifika Grill is absolutely worth a visit!

    Steak Moco
    Frank L.

    This rating is SOLELY for the Steak Moco. 5 Stars. Absolutely a surprise excellent meal. Been here a few times and the other meals were not bad but didn't prompt for a review just yet. Opening the box, it wasn't impressive looking, but underneath there is a good amount of steak! And it wasn't thin low quality steak either. WIN. The gravy was unique and mixed well with the rice, steak, eggs. The mac salad with tuna was not skimpy either. All in all, fully validate and appreciate the Steak Moco as 5 stars, for $29. An excellent post workout meal or if you only eating 1 meal a day, totally worth it! The fries though, not worth $15, maybe $8.

    Island Style Pot Roast

    I've been been to Pasifika for dinner and for lunch. I have to say dinner experience was preferred. For dinner, the 3 of us ordered two appetizers, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. Good vibes with tasty mix of Hawaiian and Guamanian food. Favorites included the kalbi ribs, mochiko chicken, pork belly bites and homemade carrot cake. The place was hopping on a Saturday night and there was live music. Plenty of friendly staff on hand to help out. The lunch experience was a little more subdued. The garlic shishito chicken wings were crispy, but could've used a little more flavor. The musubi sampler was good, but the Portuguese sausage was on the unexpected spicy side. We may order musubi individually next time. Overall, the food is tasty here and a little on the pricey side. Free parking is a plus.

    Sharissa L.

    I've been to Pasifika twice now, and there's just something so special about it. Everything I've tried (both food and drinks) has been delicious. I especially love all the great shareable options (the hurricane fries and musubi platter are our favorites). The best thing about Pasifika, though, is the vibe and staff. Every staff member I've encountered has been so welcoming, helpful, and kind. The owners are regularly walking around, greeting guests and giving recommendations. This will definitely be a place we continue to return to!

    Mochiko chicken - would get again
    Kathleen C.

    We had a great experience here. The restaurant is pretty spacious and not too busy in a weekday dinner. Prices are a bit higher from other Hawaiian places we've been to, but taste good so worth it. Overall good vibes - the music and the servers! For 2 people, we ordered: 1. shoyu poke: pretty standard / good, comes with refillable taro chips (I think they're made in house) 2. steak moko: Not too heavy even with steak and gravy. Steak was a fancy upgrade from the usual beef patties. 3. Mochiko chicken: this was battered and fried very nicely! Came out hot.

    Wings with shishito peppers
    Joe M.

    I really wanted to like this place. The vibe and music were perfect, and the service was friendly and attentive. We had already eaten dinner but decided to stop by and try a few appetizers while we were in the area. We ordered the empanada, lumpia, and wings with shishito peppers. The empanada was a bit bland, and it seemed like there was sweet basil mixed in, which gave it an unusual, mint-like aftertaste that felt out of place for this dish. The lumpia was also on the bland side, and the wings were oily and lacking flavor. All that said, there aren't many pacific island restaurants around -- so I genuinely want this place to succeed. I've heard great things about their main dishes, so we'll definitely come back and give those a try. The atmosphere and service make me want to return, and I'm hopeful the entrées will shine more. Wishing them the best -- I'll update once I try more of the menu!

    Empanadas, ota with taro chips, fiesta plate  Not shown (in our tummies): musubi platter, beef kelaguen, Mama D's chicken estufao
    Keeba O.

    We continue to come back for the delicious food and unmatched hospitality-it feels like home coming here. The island vibes are strong and you feel it the moment you walk in. They bring in island talent every so often and the place gets packed. Live music nights are our favorite as well as weekend brunches hanging with the Sunday crew!

Chef is gone and now the range of food and wine is drastically diminished. I'd advise on the quality of what remains but we literally got up and left due to the repugnant attitude of the waiter, who identified himself as the manager and was all too happy to see us leave after some unpleasantries were exchanged. I think this restaurant's days remaining in business can be measured in days or weeks, not months. It's sad because the owner obviously put some real creativity and money into the design of the wine bar side of the establishment, but as many restaurateurs have learned the hard way, the nature of the personnel can make or break a business, and this place has gone from one extreme to the other in that regard. I predict this particular manager will put the last nail in the coffin of L'Experience Paris with total certainty.
