First let me say that the food our party ordered was really good. Two ordered the fried rice one with chicken and the other with the beef. My wife ordered the garlic wok with beef and I ordered the teriyaki chicken with vegetables. I also ordered a California roll which was ok. Had better but also had worse.Now, let me vent a little. When we arrived we were seated on the bar side of the restaurant. It was very dark and a couple of our party members could barely read their menus. They had to use their flashlights on their cell phones. Also, who could have known that a female bartender and two male patrons could be so loud. Let me tell you, the bartender was working hard for those tips. Laughing and carrying on, coming around the bar to snap selfies with the older gentleman who was giving her a ton of attention.About a third of the way through our meal the song dancing queen came on and it was so loud that we couldn’t hold a conversation and it was hurting our ears. We were finally told it was a birthday party.One of our party went to the bathroom and came back to tell us how awesome the other side of the restaurant was. Now this peaked everyone’s attention and we all had to see. The other side looked like a different restaurant. Was very open, nicely lit and not as loud as the bar side. Wish we would have been given the option to sit over there. We will know to ask next time.And yes, there will be a next time!!

I've heard good things about this restaurant, so I tried it for lunch. Ordered the sushi lunch. Choice of California roll or Tuna. Simple, right? Ordered the tuna roll but of course it came with the California Roll.
The Sushi in general was served so cold that it had no taste at all.
But the nauseating thing was the salad had a long black hair in it. When I showed it to the waitress, she asked if I wanted another salad. I said, "of course. I'm not going to eat a salad with a hair in it." I looked around for a manager but couldn't find one.
This was the worst sushi experience I've had in Sarasota.
This was my first time coming here with my family. Excellent service, atmosphere and food. For appetizers we had chicken on a stick with peanut sauce, dumplings, and salads. I was the only one who didn’t get salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly and not dried out. The peanut sauce I dipped it in was delicious. The dumplings were also delicious. Then our dinners came, I split a variety of sushi with my Dad and Uncle. My Mom got her own dinner. She ate Chicken with pasta. She enjoyed it. Last but not least for dessert I ate mango ice cream it was delicious too. I am hoping to look for many more visits.

It is SOOO loud in here. It's a combination of both poor interior design causing conversation to be loudly reflected and playing very loud music at the same time. Do not plan to have a conversation with your dinnermate at all. To make it worse, the service is really slow. The food is pretty decent but not worth the awful noise and lack of service. I heavily recommend taking care of the sound issue, both by implementing some noise-dampening measures and turning the music down, because it's not safe for your workers to spend hours in such an environment.

Pacific Rim Restaurant in FL offers a delightful blend of Japanese and Thai cuisine. The food is a flavorful fusion, combining the best of both worlds. The ambiance is inviting, with a touch of cultural charm. The sushi is fresh and the Thai dishes are bursting with authentic flavors. The service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. It's a great spot for those craving a mix of Asian tastes in a welcoming setting.
