My top 5 Favorite dishes at Pacifica: 1, Eggplant with beef (牛肉烧茄子） 2, Kidney stir-fry (爆腰花） 3, Bone-in lamb stew（炖羊肉） 4, Soy sauce braised pork belly (红烧肉） 5, Beef in sour soup (酸汤牛肉） (Note: All are Chinese menu items, no lunch special & cost between $18-$22 except the eggplant. #2 & 3 are off the menu, not even on the Chinese menu Update 3/1/2023: I wasn't planning to make any more updates given how much I've raved about this place already. However, they managed to up the game again when they presented another off the menu dish, pork kidney dish 爆腰花。 It's one of my absolute fav. Chinese dishes that's very rare among typical Chinese restaurants here, previously I had to go to Boston Chinatown to get it. Pacifica's rendition absolutely nailed it, super clean taste with added green for a healthy twist, 6 out of 5 stars! 2/22/2023 Continue to evaluate the Chinese menu. Todays lunch 红烧肉 earned another 5 stars. I rarely eat this dish because it uses the pork belly with fat, but the version here has the most lean meat. It also has a good portion of vegetables making it more healthy. The taste was spot on, really really awesome Feb. 2023. Pacifica continued to impress. Today I tried their Lamb noodle soup for lunch, not on the menu, not even on the Chinese menu. Only available from time to time but you had to ask. Lamb stew is bone in, authentic Chinese style with daikon & fresh baby Bok Choy, so flavorful that I felt being teleported back to Beijing. Amazing dish, I am giving it 6 out of 5 stars. Along with previous fav. of eggplant with beef, I am in love with this place! PS. Remember to ask for the wider knife cut or hand pulled noodle, they are epic! otherwise you get default skinny noodles. read more
