    Our recent dinner here was pretty good. We ordered the 5 Spice Calamari for an appetizer. It was ok. They were pretty greasy and chewy. I ordered the Malaysian Curry Chicken Laksa and my husband had the Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Ribs). While we both thought the food was OK - it has been better on previous visits. My dish was supposed to have spice, as indicated on the menu and having had the dish before - I know it to have some spice. It did not have even a hint of spice and was lacking in depth of flavor due to it. There was very little meat on the short ribs. Overall, it was ok this time. As usual, the service was great.

    Not our cup of tea. We were in the area and went here for early dinner because most reviews seem positive. When we arrived, we relieved We that we came here many years ago to try dim sum. We got Cantonese chicken eggroll but it had some dark ground meat in it so big disappointment. I don't eat ground meat ... not sure if it was chicken. That's the "fun" of ground meat ... no idea what's included. Yuk. So hubby ate both. I ate the mushroom soup and it was best part of the meal. He chose Singapore noodles and said they were very dry and wasnt impressed. I got ginger scallops with vegetables and my choice of type of rice (jasmine, brown, coconut milk and veg fried). I picked coconut and hubby and i both liked it. The vegetables some were ok and some bitter. I wasn't expecting the scallops to be battered and fried. We both agreed it wasn't a place we would return. Service was fine and everything was hot and nice presentation. Perhaps it's too authentic for us. We have some Asian friends will tell about and see what they think.

    Easy parking, though the entrance is a bit around the corner. Good size interior and very international Asian menu. We got a few starters to share--skewers were on the smaller side, but the 5 spice shrimp was very yummy. We all left full, although I wish the nasi goreng had more flavor.

    I have been visiting The Pacific Kitchen for the last several months, and this weekend I hosted 8 friends there. And I just can't recommend this restaurant enough. It is deceptively large and beautiful inside, with the reminders of serenity, like the wall fountain. And -- yes -- the bathrooms are as beautiful as the rest of the restaurant. The service was on point -- our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about the offerings, helpful, and willing to make substitutions to the menu. With 22 different countries represented, it was difficult to make a choice. But luckily, everything is amazing! The Beef Buldogi and the Pine Nut Chicken are my favorites, but among my group I heard kudos about the Cantonese Roast Duck (interestingly enough, it was supposed to be a half a duck but had 2 drumsticks), the Pacific Pineapple Chicken, the Steak Dolsot Bimbimbap, and the Pacific Pineapple Chicken. All of it cooked expertly, from a chef who knows each culture well. I swear, it's always like having your favorite dishes from your last 20 Asian restaurants, all in on place!!

    The service was fast and the dim sum was tasty! There were so many options to choose from. One of my favorite spots, I definitely recommend coming here.

    Went here for their weekend Dimsum. It did not disappoint but I have had better. The staff were polite and friendly, and the service was quick, a tad bit fast. Be ready to understand the available items. My favorites are the shrimp dumplings, sticky rise in lotus leaf, chicken feet, pork buns. I was not at all a fan of the sour dumplings. The pastry was thick and lacked enough soup in the dumplings. Overall a decent place to try Dimsum.

    We were back and this time basically planned our 3-hour one way drive around coming to Pacific Kitchen for dinner. Same great food, same great experience. We ordered the Shanghai Dumplings and the 5 Spiced Calamari for appetizers and the Wild Mushroom Tenderloin for main course. We thought about just ordering appetizers but the quality of their beef is such that we ordered that main entree. The meat was cooked to perfection and the mushrooms were a lot of fun. Go there. We will return for sure.

The ambiance is casual chic. I loved the lighting, both those hanging from the ceiling and the changing colors on the back wall. Our server was very attentive and sweet. We managed to order a lot of food and most of it was excellent. We were treated to a trio of Spanish peanuts, slightly spicy cucumber and pickled onions that were quite tasty. Taking a taste of each together was a great bite. It was a fun start to the meal. We stared with two appetizers: Stuffed Jalapeños and Chili Dumplings. The stuffed jalapeños were fantastic! I expected them to be spicy hot, but they were not. The stuffing was delicious and each bite was delectable. We highly recommend them. The chili dumplings were also very good, though we've had better. These were spicy, but not overly so. They were good and I'd order them again. Mark ordered one of the lunch specials that offered three rolls. They were good. He liked some better than others. I ordered Sashimi Deluxe, which came with a salad and miso soup. The soup was nice. I liked the dressing on the salad and used it more as a palate cleanser between bites of sashimi rather than relying on the ginger. The sashimi was also hit and miss. The pieces were large, with each easily being twice the size you might find at other establishments. None of them, however, melted in my mouth nor did they elicit yummy sounds. We had dessert. I had Tiramisu cake and Mark had Mango Mousse. His mousse was so good! The tiramisu cake was good, but not outstanding. Both desserts came with strawberries, that were fresh and sweet, and a little scoop of ice cream. I mentioned it was my birthday (because it was) and they gave us my tiramisu case at no charge. That was so sweet! When our server came with the check, she also gave us a token each for the claw machine. What fun! We didn't win a prize, but we won some fun on our way out. We both decided we'd come back without hesitation. We are looking forward to trying ramen next time.

Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork.
