Don’t sleep on Pacific Rim Cafe! You may have walked or driven by this little hole in the wall Korean spot more time than you can count on both hands, but it’s absolutely worth a stop. Simple menu, but by the looks of it…they do each menu item incredibly well. Really incredible flavor and a healthy portion. Looking forward to making my way through the menu!

I live in the area and I’ve only been here twice, and I forget how good the food is. I forget because I don’t typically order take out and I was in the area so I walked in.I was graced with friendly smiles from the owner and her mother. I ordered the boneless mild korean wings with a side of white rice.23.97. Not bad, not great.The portion however. Was amazing. The crispy juicy wings, the sticky rice. The love for cooking. It was all there in every bite. I ordered for one, had enough for two, finished the whole meal 40 minutes later.Couldn’t leave it for seconds. It was that good.Forgive me for not coming around more often. Now that the laundromat is the only one in the area. I’ll be around more often.Thanks again! Worth it.

This place is wonderful! It’s my go-to takeout spot! I always get the bimbimbap with beef and it’s delicious, as is everything else on the menu! I highly recommend Pacific Rim Cafe!!

Kimchi fried rice was bland. I had to dress it up at home. Spicy pork was pretty good but the lack of portions, bonchon and authenticity leave much to be desired. Yes, the owner is korean which made this experience all the more disappointing. The price definitely did not reflect the portion size. This is not a real korean food experience and yes, I'm korean.

First time ever ordering from here. I was pleasantly surprised. Flavorful, arrived Hot w/ a side of sauce. I'm glad I took a chance & can't wait to try more items. Thank you. Definitely made my Self-Care Lazy Sunday. Might make this a Habbit every Sunday.

My boyfriend just moved to town and we wanted to try a local spot today. We were thoroughly impressed with this place from service to presentation to taste. This was THE most flavorful meal I've had in awhile. All the sides as well as the main entree in the box meals complimented each other so well! The combo is definitely worth the price considering the variety and serving size. This will definitely be one of our regular spots! See you soon!

My first experience with this great little establishment. We had the kimchi fried rice and an order of the Korean fried chicken. There are a few small tables outside and inside. We ordered take out, so this wasn't an issue. The chicken was crispy and lightly covered by a Korean style sweet sauce and sesame seeds. Extremely tasty. The kimchi fried rice was topped with a sunny side up egg and was the perfect accompaniment. The proprietor was welcoming and friendly. Overall a pleasant experience and we look forward to our next experience there.

When I lived in Hermosa Beach, I would eat at Pacific Rim about once a week or more for about 4 years. The food was always fresh and very delicious! And unlike some other more expensive restaurants in the area, I never got sick from eating here. That says a lot, especially considering how many times I ate here. The staff was always nice and I got to know them well. Now that I moved, I really miss this place and haven't found anything like it.
We loved this place! Got the kimchi fried rice and boneless mild fried chicken--both were ample portions and were DELICIOUS. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The smaller menu was also ideal--they only have a few dishes to choose from, which I always appreciate (you can tell the food is made with lots of attention and love). We'll be back very soon!

I spent a lot of time here every week several times a week when it opened at the end of the last millennium. They had dine in back then. My favorite dish was called beef with peppers and potatoes. It was phenomenal. I live across the country now but take my family there every chance we get out to HB.

I moved here just a couple months before the pandemic and this place has been a Covid staple for me ever since. When many restaurants were closed Pacific Rim was open. The food is great, staff friendly and it's all reasonable priced

Mandy, Japchae and anything with chicken and/or tofu is great!!!! Wish they had delivery.
