Delicious dim sum!!!! We've been here countless times over the years - seen the chefs and even name change. We try to get there when they open on Sundays and are seated right away. Depending on if it's busy or not they have the traditional carts going around or you can order off of the menu. Either way, it's so good. I like to start with a pot of jasmine tea. I always get a couple sides of the hot chili oil to go with the soy sauce. My dad really likes the hot mustard. Most of the dumpling orders come with 3-4 items per order. There are also specials going around on trays that can differ depending on the day/weekend. There are so many good options. My absolute favorites are the shrimp dumplings, stuffed eggplant with shrimp, bbq pork buns (steamed), crispy shrimp roll, and sesame balls. The others I love are crispy shrimp ball, pan fried shrimp and chives dumpling, curry chicken turnover, stuffed peppers with shrimp, pork and/or shrimp siu mai, and pineapple custard bun. The dumplings with shrimp in them are overwhelmingly my favorites. The texture and flavor is great. The staff is extremely accommodating. You can ask almost anyone for something and they'll find out which cart it's on or go get it for you. read more

Different items from some other restaurants. Wonderful taste . I want to go back again soon.

On a short trip to Cincinnati I had a chance to try this place out. What a hidden gem this is!!! There were only 2 of us, but we ordered a ton of food because I just had to try some of the dishes that stood out to me. We had 2 types of dumplings as appetizers, a wonton soup bowl, beef bibimbap and Singapore shrimp with coconut rice. All of them were incredible and reasonably priced. The tab was only $45 for all of this food. Can't wait to come back! read more

Yesterday's lunch break we stopped and had some PK. Nothing short from amazing. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and hubby ordered steak dolsot bibimbap. Both plates very delicious. Under appetizers we got the Cantonese spring rolls (very very good), they have a different taste, but loved them , and the 5 spice calamari, mouth-watering good. We definitely wanna go back and try the whole menu lol. They have carefully crafted fusion style recipes from the Pacific Rim and you can taste the love and dedication put into each bite. Yummy. We went in to order takeout since it was our first time. The lady who greeted us gave us a menu walked off came back quickly asked if we were ready to order we said no, her demeanor was slightly negative, like she wanted us to order now. She walked off and about 5 mins later we were ready. I seen the workers sitting around, her being one of them, it was pretty slow, I said excuse me a few times, the lady who greeted us seen me I said mam we are ready and she went back to eating her food. A gentlemen seen that and came and took our order. He was awesome. Understood we are foodies so he was super patient with us, we had lots of questions lol. Great restaurant inside. I wouldn't recommend getting to go, this is a place you would wanna eat at. read more

Awesome, Asian fusion with a twist. Also had all the traditional Asian dishes one would expect. Food, service, atmosphere was great!

I currently reside in San Francisco, one of the culinary capitols in the US if not the world. We have a ton of great chefs that were brought in direct from Hong Kong and China. I am working on a project in Silverton and was craving some Asian food and found The P.K. I will admit, I came in with a snobby attitude, I am a West Coaster with a fancy pants palette, and assumed this place will be like a fancier Panda Express (which I do like on occasion). Ordered a steamed fish with black bean and I must say, I DEVOURED it!! I also had some fried rice with jalapenos and that floored me too. When I heard they did Dim Sum, I came back on Saturday...and once again, my numb nutz came in snobby. So it is different from West Coast Dim Sum, and depending on your preferences, you may like it better or worse. I liked it BETTER than what I get in SF. Authentic Dim Sum is usually made with a lot of lard, oil, and MSG. My barometers for Dim Sum are the classic Shu Mei dumplings and the Chicken Feet. BOTH were waaaaay less oily and there was not that Heavy MSG influence (IYKYK). I think he is catering to a more white population, thus the less oil. I will be coming back to Cincinnati and this will definitely be on my list of go tos (along with Gold Star). read more

It was absolutely delicious. We loved everything about it and cannot wait to go back. The dumplings were so good, every single thing we ate was delicious. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday, which is apparently when they have dim sum. I don't know anything about dim sum and how that works. I know we could have asked, but I wish that one of the staff had just taken the time to volunteer an explanation. I think it was pretty obvious how clueless we were. We just ordered off of the regular lunch menu and watched the hustle and bustle of the dim sum carts move around the restaurant. The vegetarian options are clearly labeled, although the appetizer we first ordered was unavailable so we ended up with the Veggie Gyoza ($6). These were tasty. For our entree, we had the Orange Glazed Veggie Faux Ribs ($9) - tasty and that glaze was amazing. I think we passed a bar on the way in, but there was no mention of cocktails on the menu - which would have been a nice addition! read more

I love Pacific Kitchen in general- by far the best Dim Sum in Cincinnati. Michael and co have a gift. They get asian food but they put a first class modern twist/fusion to it. My most recent experience was on New Years Eve- this was a special menu and it did not disappoint! The dumplings were legit, shrimp lollipops, and I had no idea he did steaks like that. A porterhouse and ribeye! I've had the beignets before and they're great but this time he added a dragon fruit sorbet. as an Asian myself I love dragon fruit and this is legit. Thank you so much! read more

For years we came frequently to Pacific Kitchen for weekend dim sum. It has been awhile, since we have been getting dim sum closer to home. Today we returned and were very disappointed. The ambiance and service were excellent as always. There were several dishes we were missing that are unavailable at our current place. Almost everything we had was gloppy, stuck together, and just didn't taste freshly prepared. So bad. We will likely not be back. read more

I had a great time here! I got dinner with my friend a couple days ago and really enjoyed the food here. They have a super diverse menu with cuisines from all types of Asian countries. My favorite item from what we ordered was the Szechuan prawns. They had a great grilled char on them and the sauce was delicious. The Mongolian beef was also good, but a little chewy and sweet for my personal taste. The staff were incredibly kind and the food was served pretty quickly. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Very quiet and relaxing. We had the bi-bim-bap and the singapore noodles, both were very good. Very friendly staff.

Talk about some significant disappointment. This place used to be half way decent. Though I have not been here over a year it's sad to see how it has gone downhill. Ordered from the dim sum menu. Chicken feet, black bean pork spare ribs, shumai, ha gao, taro puff and beef flat noodles. Chicken feet - well braised texture wise, a little bland on flavor Pork spare ribs - overcooked, tough, bland Shumai - pork - chewy... Ha gao - dried, likely heated up from frozen Taro puff - flavor was good, batter is not like it was prior with the typical flakey outside. Hard to bite into Beef flat - bland, beef tasted sour, no wok flavor Overall pretty sad that the establishment has gone downhill. Will not be coming back read more

A group of five of us visited here at my sister's suggestion a few months ago. My wife and I are huge fans of asian food, and especially asian fusion, so we were delighted to have lunch here. We were seated promptly and were given a few minutes to look at the menu before our server came with water. Our server was a sweet older lady who wasn't 100% fluent in English, which made it difficult for my sister, who has some dietary restrictions, as she had to ask about the contents of each dish she was considering. Other than some brief miscommunication, the service was quite good, and we received our food shortly after that. I had ordered the My Cousin Tso's Chicken, as General Tso's is my favorite Chinese dish. I also got a side of veggie fried rice, deciding to go all out and see if this place could impress me. And impress it did. The panko-coated chicken was crunchy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. And the sauce blanketing it was sweet and spicy, making for an absolutely phenomenal dish that I couldn't help but finish off. The sauteed veggies were good too, though not as mind-blowing as the chicken. The fried rice, though, was also extremely tasty. Hot, well-cooked and flavorful rice with egg and veggies. It was a delicious meal, and my only regret is that I haven't been back to try something else off the extensive menu! Will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

Went for dinner tonight and the front door was locked at 7:30. Woman at front door ignored me at the front door so I phoned her. She proceeded to tell me that they close at 8:30 and the kitchen closes an hour before that. If you aren't going to honor your hours do yourself a favor and just don't open. Love the food, chef and spot but won't be back. Bad form Pacific Kitchen! read more

We just ate at The Pacific Kitchen and my whole family loved everything! I ordered the duck confit bao and it was delicious. The menu is incredible and everything we tasted was great.

We can't believe we just discovered this place. read more

*ONLY REVIEWING DIM SUM* TL:DR: Only eat dim sum here you are a coming off peak hours and don't expect cart service or hot food. It satisfies a craving for dim sum, but don't let this be a first dim sum experience for anyone in your party lest it be the last. Note: Really this is 1 star dim sum but I'm giving two because the restaurant explained they were short-staffed and had to attend to an "unexpected party of 40". I've had passable dim sum here before during off-peak hours (~3-4 stars by Cincinnati standards). * Abysmal cart service: One cart per half hour kind of place. Restaurant -- If you aren't going to bring the occasional cart around to a specific table, just tell that table to order off the menu instead of requiring those customers to chase after the cart. * No variety on carts: Unless you want to stuff yourself full of rubbery Shumai, sad-looking unjuicy Shaolongbao, or a half handful other dishes, you will need to order off the menu. Restaurant -- please tell customers you don't have functional cart service so that they can order food instead of waiting for something that won't arrive. * Afterword: Where are the egg tarts? read more

Was looking for new place to have lunch, and this place seemed interesting. The location is kind of hidden, and the outside of the building doesn't really look like a restaurant, but once you walk in you realize this is going to be a great place. The decor is very nicely done, it's large enough for several large parties, and even the menus were very cool looking. The staff was very nice, as I waited for the rest of the party, the would walk them all the way to the table, very classy move. The food was fenomenal, I had the Korean Spicy Pork Belly which was amazing. It had nice heat, but not over powering spicy flavor, and very tender. The sides were really good and complimented the pork well. I did upgrade to the coconut rice, and it was well worth it. If you're looking for a great new place then I recommend this spot. read more

I encountered Pacific Kitchen at the March of Dimes fundraiser a week ago. Their chili garlic shrimp stole the day and won the event. I had to get more! My 19yo son (and bonafide foodie) headed to the restaurant to experience the real thing. We started with Indonesian wings and Korean seafood pancakes. I didn't care for the abrupt spice on the wings and my son suspects that they may have been previously frozen rather than fresh. The pancakes were tasty but very dense. The sauce served with it lacked flavor, so we wound up just sogging the pancakes. Then the shrimp. I took my first bite and realized that the butterflied shrimp were served with the shell on. I hadn't remembered that from the MoD event, but that was just one shrimp. Really have an issue with this... after picking out the shell from my mouth, you realize that peeling the shrimp now eliminates much of the spice. Honestly, serving this way seems just lazy. Peel the shrimp, would ya! Otherwise the dish was tasty. The Korean "army stew" was good. More my son's thing than mine. Lots of noodles, veggies and protein. All in all, I was disappointed and I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

TLDR: clean and hip environment, good quality dim sum, nice owners and wait staff. Come here for dim sum and you won't regret it. They also have a full bar for those shameless day drinkers (hint hint). Yes, you can get mimosas with dim sum or any alcohol of your choice. Weird, right? But that's what you can expect from an asian fusion restaurant. You get everything! The dim sum options here are legit and authentic. They make their dim sum from scratch, so they are always fresh. I love carbs, so I always over do it on the buns (but please get the custard roll, or whatever it's called). All their dim sum options are standard as you would expect from any dim sum restaurants. The one thing I need to mention is the wait staff and the owners, they are all so nice. They make you feel like you are part of their family when you dine there. Would I come back again? Yes, I'm a regular here and you can almost find me every weekend. read more

After looking at the menu online, I was excited to check this place out. We started with the Yucca Fries. They were delightfully crispy. The cilantro was plentiful, and fresh. My mom ordered The Happy Buddha Delight. She's a strict vegetarian, and so many places don't have many options for her and/or, don't make good vegetarian dishes. She was beyond happy. I ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was interactive, fun, and delicious. For my entree, I ordered the Singapore Noodles. I hadn't tried Lap Chong (Chinese Sausage) before, but our server explained the taste to me perfectly, so I tried it. He said I could also pick another protein for my dish. I asked what he'd recommend, and he said the shrimp. He was so correct with the suggestion. My dish came out, and it looked beautiful, and tasted divine. We were checked on several times to see how we were doing. It turns out our server was the chef! If you can't find something delectable here, you aren't trying. Thank you for the experience. I'm still eating my leftovers. Yum! read more

I definitely won't be back. The service and food left quite a bit to be desired. Though every restaurant we went to that night was crowded this one was not, which should have been my first clue. The staff was somewhat forgetful and less than attentive. The menu was a nightmare to navigate with all the different country labels and difficult lighting. We had to read it to my dad as he couldn't see it even with glasses. One of our appetizers had plastic in it. They had expensive mixed drinks with very little alcohol in them. There was honestly nothing positive about this experience other than getting the check and leaving. read more

I believe that it constitutes a hidden treasure, if you have to find your way through what looks like a retirement community to get to a place. The Pacific Kitchen hides inconspicuously off of Montgomery Road in a community of buildings that simply must be described as Montgomery's "Little Asia". Clustered among similar Thai, Indian, and Japanese restaurants, you will find this venue from the group that brought you Shanghai Mama's. Pacific Kitchen offers pan-Asian fare including cuisine from Cambodia, Mongolia, Vanuatu, and everywhere in between. On my previous excursion, I enjoyed a delicious Korean Bulgogi, flavored with sesame, ginger, garlic, and onions; and accompanied with Korean side dishes that included noodles, cucumbers, and, of course, kimchi. I will definitely visit again if I'm on this side of town. read more

The Pacific Kitchen serves delicious and authentic cuisine from over 20 different countries. The restaurant is very spacious, and will accommodate both large and small parties. Service was friendly and efficient, but there was a mixup with our order, even though the place was not very busy when we dined. Hey, it happens, and we made the best of it. We tried the Veggie Mando for an appetizer, and they were fresh and so yummy. My entree was the Pork Belly Ramen. The broth was outstanding, but the pork belly was tough. I would probably go for a vegetarian ramen option next time because I think often of that broth. I would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

I've been wanting to try The Pacific Kitchen for awhile and I finally had the chance to. It did not disappoint. They have tons of Asian dishes to choose from. While their menu is complex, I kind of like having options to choose from. The have Korean, Chinese, Singapore, Thai, and more dishes. I like that you can come to one place and get almost whatever you want from a range of Asian cultures. The establishment is spacious and the staff is nice. When we first arrived my husband and I both ordered side house salads that came with ginger dressing. The salad was very fresh and tasty and the dressing was yummy as well. It was just mixed greens, cucumbers, a few slices of fresh ginger and ginger dressing. We also ordered the Chicken Potstickers. The chicken potstickers were pretty good. We love dumplings and these didn't disappoint. I ordered the Singapore Noodles and my husband ordered Pad Thai. I wanted to try something different that I had never had, and the Singapore Noodles were so yummy. I remember a guy I use to work with use to always talk about Singapore Noodles so I wanted to try them. I'm glad I did. My dish consisted of Rice Noodles + Eggs + Bean Sprouts + Onions + Carrots + Scallions + Malay Curry. It was so delicious. Everything tasted well together! I didn't have any complaints. My husband's Pad Thai was also really good. It consisted of Rice Noodles + Bean Sprouts + Basil + Onions + Green Peppers + Eggs + Carrots + Crushed Peanuts + Lime. It was very flavorful and delicious! No complaints here either. Last we ended our meal with dessert. We had the Waffle Divine which was a Green Tea Waffle + Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream + Whipped Cream + Caramel + Chocolate Sauce + Green Tea Dusting + Fresh Fruit. This waffle dessert was fantastic! The waffle was a true homemade waffle and not something frozen. It was fresh and paired perfectly with everything it was served with. This was such a good dessert! Definitely try it! We loved it! Overall, The Pacific Kitchen was a very good choice and served fresh, delicious food! We were pleased with our experience as well as the quality of the food. We said this will probably be our go to Asian cuisine spot. read more

Decent food, if a bit overpriced. The rack of lamb was OK - not bad, not great. Vegetable sides were kinda blah - reminded me of something steamed to death out of a can. Rice was decent. The other guest at the table reported that beef tips were OK, as well, a bit too ginger sweet but not bad. Note that depending on what you get here the portion sizes are either normal or Enough Noodles and Vegetables To Feed the Entirety of Vietnam For At Least A Week, with not a lot of room in between. Side note - the menu is a rolling hot train wreck. You will literally get anxiety pouring over the roughly 80 options from various countries packed closely onto the pages with no illustrations. If you know what authentic dish you like and it's normally prepared somewhere on the continent of Asia it's probably on this menu. If you have no idea about the minutiae of regional Asian cuisines, well, good luck, we're all counting on you. read more
