Pacific Paradise Asian Dine-In and Sushi Bar: Reviews & Ratings

A hidden gem! Our friends actually found out about the place and come here frequently, so they recommended we try it out. It was extremely well decorated, and totally decked out with a partial ship, palm trees, and a lot of “pacific” decor. The service was 10/10 as our waiter was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was great and we enjoyed our first time here. Definitely will be coming back in the future!

We have driven by Pacific Paradise hundreds of times, but never went in. So when a friend wanted to meet us there, we readily agreed. How have we missed this wonderful restaurant all these years? We loved it and returned within a week. Their food is delicious and their menu goes on and on, with dishes from a wide variety of Asian countries...oh, and Hawaii. Plus they have an excellent sushi bar. (The Pacific Paradise Roll is amazing.) We need to go back many times just to try all the dishes that called to us. But it's going to be hard not to order the crispy eggplant every time. We ordered this just because it sounded good and it was a huge hit. Disks of deep fried eggplant in the most delicious, addictive glaze! If you go here, you MUST order this dish (you must, you must). Also, the rice pizza is amazing...either the seafood or the drunken versions. Sounds weird and it's hard to describe, but trust us, it's delicious. Photos are the crispy eggplant (after almost half was eaten) and softshell crab and vegetable tempura. Go on line and look at their menu, but leave yourself lots of time because it's like reading War and Peace. Lots of food! Not a lot of bucks! (The price we paid per person included apps, sushi, and sake.) Heartily recommend!

Very delicious food. The softshell crab feeds both the eye and mouth. The Thai drunken fried rice is very well seasoned but not too salty or sweet. My favorite of all is actually the steamed fish with ginger and green scallions. The broth is absolutely fantastic. The seasoning is just right, honestly possibly the top 2 steamed fish I ever had in my life (and I had this dish many times).

Loved it. Food was great. Unexpected, but appreciated mix of foods on the menu. Service was awesome, thanks to Jesus and the rest of the staff. Atmosphere is kitschy, but in a good way. Will definitely be returning.

Came here with my mom and her husband for their farewell dinner. They ordered the California roll & Avocado roll. We also ordered the Monkey balls (stuffed mushrooms) highly recommend! I’ve been coming here for years and you can’t go wrong with ordering anything off the menu. Everything is unique and full of flavor.

Had fire roll sushi this afternoon, and iced tea. First time eating there. Plate came with flames on edges, wasn't expecting that! Neat to say the least. Would definitely recommend.

I've been twice in the last four months and was super impressed with how accommodating they were for my friend with a gluten allergy. The food came out within a reasonable amount of time and tasted great both times. I appreciate this place! It's one of my go-tos for out-of-town guests.
