I recently brought seven of my coworkers to Pacific Fusion for lunch, making a group of eight. Even…read morewith a larger party, the staff did an outstanding job taking care of us. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and kept our drinks filled while making sure our table had everything we needed. The customer service was easily the highlight of the visit. Since it's a buffet, there was a nice variety of food to choose from. They had classic Chinese favorites, seafood, noodles, fried rice, dumplings, desserts, and more. I tried a little bit of everything, and while nothing really stood out as exceptional, everything was fresh, hot, and perfectly acceptable. It was a solid buffet experience without any major complaints. The restaurant itself was clean, and the buffet stations stayed organized even during the lunch rush. Food was refilled regularly, so there was never much waiting for fresh items. If I had to rate the food alone, I'd say it was average. It wasn't the best buffet I've had, but it wasn't disappointing either. The real reason I'd come back is because of the excellent service. The staff treated our entire group with kindness and professionalism, which made the lunch enjoyable. Overall, Pacific Fusion is a good option if you're looking for a buffet with plenty of choices and outstanding customer service. It's also a great place for larger groups since they handled our party of eight with ease. I'd definitely return, especially for another work lunch.

Went in for an early New Year's Eve dinner. This place has been here for years; I see it as an…read moreeast Memphis institution. The inside is eclectic, it's not fancy...though this isn't a bad thing. It's a nice escape from the run-of-the-mill Chinese take-out places (where you can eat inside also), it's not trying to be corporate-flashy. Best I can describe it is authentic to the people who own the joint. And I like it; a couple of fish tanks, some kitsch, the odd neon signs inside (over the bar, on the west wall towards the rear), the unused area to the right of the bar. Somethings work, something's are out of place, but it's a testament to the longevity of the location. So the food: the value is great. The apps were middle-of-the-road (sweet fire shrimp, spicy cucumbers (sans spicy but ponzu), spring rolls. The stand out was the hot and sour soup. Nothing really novel about it, but exactly what I was looking for. As the duck sauce was a bit sweet for the spring rolls to my liking, I found it necessary, and delicious, to dunk the spring rolls in the hot and sour soup. The Scientist had her usual kung-pao chicken. Really good, if not a bit basic (though the slight notch up of heat from the Szechuan peppers was appreciated). I went with the Peking duck. It's the most expensive thing on the menu (as it is everywhere else), but worth it. This is going to feed 2-3 or a big meal there and a healthy portion to take home. The skin crispy, the meat moist. Bones removed, but for the wings and thigh bones...it was appreciated. Served with Chinese pancakes and onions and a delightful hoisin. Highly recommended. The staff was delightful. Efficient (if not a little too efficient; we had two servers ask for our order), attentive, hospitable. We don't really have a go-to for Chinese food. Despite being out in Gtown, this may be our new default for Chinese eat-in or take-out.

The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean from my vantage point. They had a buffet but I wasn't in the mood for that. I placed an order for the egg drop soup, 1 egg roll, 1 spring roll and wings. My food was ready pretty quickly and I was on my way. Once I made it home, I tried the spring and egg roll they were both solid nothing special but good. Next, I tried the egg drop soup and I enjoyed it, especially since I was under the weather. The wings were last and they were huge! I wonder how large was that chicken to produce wings that big! I was not a fan of the chicken but I would go back to try other items on the menu and I did enjoy the soup.

Our service was good and we got our food pretty quickly. We were seated near a large group which was very overstimulating. The group became loud and rambunctious which negatively impacted our experience. We could barely hear our server near the end and we couldn't wait to leave. Despite the loud environment the food was fine. The bangin chicken was tasty. It's certainly not as good as the bang bang shrimp, but worth a try. The shrimp toast was SUPER salty and the toast was shockingly soggy. I thought it would've been like bruschetta bread texture so I was disappointed. The avocado wasn't ripe enough yet so the pieces were very hard. Maybe the chef was having a bad day. I can see the dish having potential. It would definitely be better with a firm toast, less of the salty sauce, and more diced tomatoes to balance the flavor. Their artisan bread & herb olive oil was good as always and was the highlight of the visit.

The outside looks kinda divey, but inside is spotlessly clean and the man behind the counter was friendly. I tried a lunch special for $8.99. This is a bargain!

This place actually changes their grease, so the items aren't heavy & greasy tasting. I'm deducting one star for the sweet tea that actually made my teeth hurt, but we will return for sure!

The food is always fresh and if by chance there is an issue, they readily resolve to satisfaction. While my issues have been few and very far, I've witnessed a few "challenging" guests. They were handled them with dignity and professionalism. I appreciate being able to watch sports (especially basketball) while dining. The Southwest Cobb is my favorite, mainly because of the variety of vegetables and the level of freshness. If you like spice, the blackened shrimp has an excellent kick. If playing it safe (heartburn is real), simply ask them to go lighter on the blackened. Both the Poplar Ave and Cooper Young locations have an active security guard/lot attendant on the parking lots. There is such a relief in knowing that you don't have to anticipate a broken window or worse when returning to your vehicle. I give Soul Fish Cafe ! While they are known for the fried and blackened fish, the shrimp is always perfect. Quote me on that!

The catfish was well seasoned, and the salad toppings paired nicely. I was excited for the cornbread that each dish was served with, but it was very dry and low-key hard to swallow. My boyfriend ate it without complaint, but I really wanted to like it. My boyfriend ordered the Blackened Salmon Plate with a side of Collards. We split a side of Sweet Potato Fries that were simple yet delicious. However, I'm not a fan of how much plastic they use. Each patron is served a drink in a plastic take-home Soul Fish Cafe cup. If you need a refill, you get another plastic cup. I can't imagine the amount of cups that they have to order and serve on a daily basis. I'd be open to coming again and would love to see them swap to a more sustainable drinking option.
