“Pacific East is our very favorite sushi restaurant overall. The quality of the fish is incredible and the food is so authentic. We are so excited that they are reopening soon, we will be in the get some delicious sushi as soon as we can!“

“Loved the decor! Even the tables are painted white with black lines. The menu wasn't really clear. The menu online seems more clear and extensive. We got the ramen, chicken gyoza, and chicken skewers. All were really good! The mango tea was great. My son said the bubble tea was ok. We'll definitely be back!“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“Phenomenal everything the service was exceptional and very Demure they are all very attentive and helpful with anything you ask for I love the Shrimp Tempura best I’ve ever had I believe my drink of choice was a Katakana with gin very fruit and delicious dessert was also nice and decadent great happy hour choices and the best part is you get to watch them create right in front of you, I recently went here for a friends date and I actually arrived earlier than her so they seated me at the bar next to to very sweet woman which one ends up passing out in my me due to her having just donating blood earlier in the day I had no choice but to jump into action and try to help revive her just wanted to thank the staff for their support and excellent communication they helped get her back comfortable safely and that showed that this place is more than just a restaurant I will most definitely be back ?“

“Very nice spot for lunch. My only critique is the ordering process. With having cooked to order foods and scoop & serve fast casual, it can make for difficult timing. The hot mto foods should be started before scooping the byo bowls.
That being said, everything was fresh and tasty. Nothing was overly fishy or greasy. Can’t wait to try the raw selection.“

“Lovely staff and delicious food!“

“Great food! Make a reservation is recommended.“

“The best noodle house in Cleveland. Ive had many times and will continue eating at this great place.“

“They are open for dining and it was so good!!“

“This awesome little food truck showed up at my workplace today. I had already eaten lunch, but ordered a couple of their chicken egg rolls which were delicious. Looking forward to trying them again next week!!!“

“I love sushi“

“I go with my son once a week. Authentic Japanese cuisine with the beat service anywhere in town. Food is always so good. Solid family owned business- been the best sushi in town for a long long time“

“Cozy, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, going for a traditional Japanese vibe crossed with a sports bar with some hanging lanterns and mounted TVs. The service was great, and the waiter/bartender was very kind and attentive! My friend and I got the Omakase for two (12 pc Veggie and Meat Skewers), and it happened to be steamed bun night, so we tried that, too. I also got the Plum Press cocktail. The drink was great, and honestly I barely tasted the sake in it. The steamed buns were decent, but I wasn't a huge fan - the sausages were probably the best part. For the skewers - my favorites were probably the mushrooms, the pineapple, and the potatoes for the non-meat ones. And for the meat ones - the pork and the chicken ones were probably the tastiest. Overall, a good experience, and I'm glad I checked it out. It was, however, a tad pricey.“

“Really liked the miso ramen! Great service too!“

“Strongly recommend! This is your Chinese uncle. Only he can prepare you any dish from the menu for 500 sku in a small kitchen in five minutes. The food is great. Very good price! The owner does not cut portions or hide the meat in a giant dough shell. Unfortunately, I didn’t recognize the hero’s name. On your next visit, I will definitely say “THANK YOU” in person! Long life and prosperity!“

“this place has great food, and a great chef. thank you dede. glade you did this. 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was absolutely phenomenal! I stopped in on my lunch break and placed my order, the guy said it would be 7 minutes. I patiently waited and it was exactly 7 minutes. I ordered the hibachi steak plate and it's the best one I've gotten in a long time. It looked fantastic, large portions and tasted great! I highly recommend.“

“This is the best tasting hibachi cooking it’s like going to Benihana without having to go to Benihana The sauces are delicious and portions are generous! The service is pleasant and location close to surrounding suburbs. They will and are my go to for Hibachi cooking!????“

“the Kalbi Bento box lunch and the additional Ban Chan and the seafood pancake. Heavenly“

“I do recommend this restaurant however we had a bad experience for our very special date. We splurged and bought one of the most extensive rolls as well as I picked one other and my husband picked 2 others. I also got soup and we got a salad to share. The salad was terrible almost no sauce I felt like I paid $12 for a bowl of lettuce. The soup was fantastic. When we ordered we made sure to tell the waiter I do not like raw or spicy so we ended up buying the sora roll I believe it was called with no spicy mayo. It was a very expensive roll my husband and I were going to share. It had gold leaf on it and everything. We were very excited. When it arrived it was covered in spicy mayo. Out waiter refused to replace the roll saying it’s too expensive to replace offering an extra soup for each of us which we didn’t want we wanted our roll. Then stating we can come back on a Thursday and he would give us a 50% off a roll. We didn’t want that and we told him it was my dinner we wanted that roll. He said there nothing he could do even though he admitted he forgot to tell them we didn’t want spicy sauce. I left a restaurant spending over $100 and was still hungry bc I did t get 1/2 my meal and was not about to buy a second d one. My husband ate most of the roll since it was still left there but we asked him if he would take it back and make a new one or at least just give me a few pieces without spicy on it and they wouldn’t. I wanted to come here for a long time we don’t go out often. We spend t $10 to park and I feel they did me wrong. It’s a good place but I think our waiter ruined our night. He really should have brought me a portion of the roll without the spicy. He kept saying well did you even try it. It’s not that spicy what does it matter I asked for it without. And besides that my husband who does like spicy said it was mega spicy. Just disappointed with our experience but would go back to a woman waiter they seemed to know a lot more about the menu.“

“Delicious and has volume for a great price love it! Recommend to everybody“

“I liked everything but the egg tolls, they were a bit too heavy and grainy for me, but the buckeye roll, the SF rice and the shrimp and chicken with broccoli and vegetables was the freshest Asian cuisine I have had in a very long time. I had stop eating Asin rice for a while because it would be hard after one day, but this rice is creamy and delicious. I would sub the spring rolls in place of the egg rolls, they cost a little more but they taste much better. Get that Buckeye roll for sure!!“

“Great food. will be back.“

“The sushi was PHENOMENAL. Visiting for a conference and was craving sushi. Used grub hub for my delivery and was not disappointed. Everything was so delicious and VERY affordable!“

“Chicken and shrimp were over cooked and dry. Also they charge almost 5.00 extra to use a credit card and a 18 tip is added to the end of the bill. They don't tell you so watch out you don't double tip.“

“Enjoyed a late lunch during the week. Our server was sweet and very attentive. Food came out very quickly and was wonderful. Pork shu mei, dumplings, sashimi, and some sushi. In and out very quickly but never felt rushed. Great experience.

Parking: Free parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy entrance for wheelchairs.“
