Not one single part of my delivery order was right and the food tasted terrible! First off, delivery was 45 minutes later than expected, the food was cold and the order was not right. I ordered the lunch set Nabeyaki Udon, which you get an option of miso soup or salad - I wrote down salad; did not get the salad. The udon noodles were overcooked and soggy, the broth was SUPER salty for an udon broth which should be simple, the shrimp included seemed to be cut into thirds and heavily battered to make it seem bigger (more than half of it was batter) and there was a singed hair on my gyoza, which also was overly salty. I only took a few bites and threw everything out and am now eating an apple that my office provides lol - HANGRY! Will not order from them again. read more

Great sushi spot for lunch. Their rolls special is good, affordable, and generous. I have also gotten their Kani salad which is good. cool spot to sit inside and enjoy as well as eat out. Overall a decent spot in the area and with a great vibe. read more

Pac Rim - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious sushi! After researching several sushi restaurants online, I decided to try PacRim. Located on East 49th street, it's very convenient to the United Nations and practically around the corner from Japan Society. Also, there's another Japanese restaurant located on the same block. Whereas the neighboring restaurants have large open windows with customers in full view of the street, PacRim has a recessed private intimate interior seating area. It also offers a 40$ lunch omakase (as of June 2023) as well as other smaller lunch specials (see photo). I expected high quality & small portions. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality and good portion size. The spicy Yellowtail handroll is one of the best I've had in NYC. The service was excellent too. The sushi nori wasn't super crispy but still delicious. Plan to return for more! read more

Husband found this place on Yelp since I've been hankering for sushi since I gave birth. Really did not disappoint and it's a super solid place - I ordered the lunch Omakase priced at $40. I did not regret - it was the right amount of food and great way to start eating sushi again. The roll wasn't too rich for me and I enjoyed the sashimi. Will definitely come back if I'm in the neighborhood. Service was good - got our order and food taken in a timely manner and it seems to have a steady flow of people since we dined here during lunch hour. Was able to talk to my husband if needed and mostly chill environment. read more

Sushi was high quality for the price ($26 for a sashimi platter). I was surprised the restaurant was pretty empty because it had a very nice ambience and good service. Ample space inside and can accommodate a large group. read more

This is our neighborhood sushi spot - the fish is fresh, the service is friendly, and the restaurant has a nice ambiance. In addition, Pac Rim welcomes our family for a dinner out and our kids love the avocado rolls. read more

Worst sushi I've tried in NYC by far. Fish tasted rotten and was grey in color and the miso barely tasted like anything, it tasted like hot water with a hint of chicken broth. read more

Pac Rim - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Last night we tried out Pac Rim. We live in the area and have been trying to find an affordable and delicious neighborhood sushi spot. This place exceeded all our expectations. All the sushi was so fresh, the service was amazing, and the place was so cute. We loved the atmosphere and the sushi! We will definitely be adding this place to our restaurant rotation in Midtown east. read more

Pac Rim is our local sushi restaurant. The sushi is some of the best sushi we've had, compatible to Catch and Sugar Fish. The staff is wonderfully kind, knowledgeable and attentive. The drinks are good too (my favorite, the plum wine). The atmosphere is cozy, warm and comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Pac Rim - Every Sushi Imaginable ;-) - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My fiancée and I love this place, it offers great service and a bargain on prices usually. It has a nice neighborhood feel and we enjoy popping in on weekends. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and fresh, we've been enjoying sampling the menu. read more

*4.5 stars* stopped by for lunch during work week. No wait time, service was friendly and quick. Tried a few things from the menu and everything was phenomenal. A little on pricier side but to be expected in Manhattan. They play good, popular songs but they're sung by different people than the original artist which I was honestly not a big fan of, but it's not a big deal. Had a tasty lunch and enjoyed my time. Would definitely return. read more

I ordered Ma Po Tofu Don lunch special. Tofu already went bad and tasted sour. Pork is supposed to be minced, but it's not. So the only thing left that I can eat is white rice and that's the only thing I had for my lunch today! read more

Food was very good and the staff was extremely friendly and attentative. A great new additiin to the neighborhood. Easily able to support a partt of 8 or 10 at long table. Interessting combo of deserts including a nice Halo Halo ice cream and fried banana. read more

Pac Rim - Sushi and Sashimi for 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Maggie is the best front end person ever! Friendly and efficient. The general Tao $8 takeout bowl is substantial and a great value!

I was sad that Yama49 is gone but this is a good replacement. For my first take out order, I got a two roll lunch special. I got the salad and spicy crunchy tuna and salmon rolls. Both were fresh and good. Salad was good too. Will be back. read more

Pac Rim - Salad, spicy tuna and salmon roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Have visited several times with colleagues for lunch and tried various lunch specials including Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Malaysian cuisines which includes miso soup or salad with Japanese ginger dressing. Consistently, food, service and ambiance meet or exceed expectations so I highly recommend. read more

Had a late afternoon meal here before heading out of city. Only good thing was the server she was nice. Good tasted awful, the soups were terrible and the sushi rolls were more rice than anything else. Sashimi was one piece per order it was paper thin. This is the second time I have been here never seen more than one or two other people and no wonder why. read more

Today, since I was in the area, I decided to try Pac Rim for lunch. It is a lovely, large, modernly decorated restaurant with a large sushi bar with comfortable seats. The waitresses were friendly and attentive. That is where any positive comments on this restaurant ends. The food was awful. I ordered miso soup and the sashimi lunch, which I almost always order when trying a new restaurant. If the sashimi is good, the rest of the food is usually good and vice versa. During the time I was there, there was 1 other person at the sushi bar, a couple at a booth and a person at a table. This is a prime NYC location, but there is a reason for its emptiness. Others have probably also discovered to steer clear. The miso soup was terrible. It tasted like dish water. I like thinly sliced sashimi, but this was ridiculous (way too thin). There were 8 small pieces of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and another white fish. The white fish didn't seem fresh, but the other pieces were okay. The presentation was also terrible. The white fish came with some sprouts that had seen their better life (didn't eat). The mint, which is usually delicious, was tough to chew (left most of that). The radish was the only veg that was okay. There was also 4 funny tasting cubes of rice, which weren't very good. In fact, the entire plate of food seemed to have some strange tasting marinade all over the food. There were 2 sushi chefs who didn't seem too interested in what they were doing. I also found it strange that they had a large screen TV over the sushi bar, unusual for a Japanese restaurant. The price is reasonable for the sashimi ($17), but not even worth that. I left still hungry. I would rather pay more and have better quality and more fish to eat. I guess it is apparent I shall never return to this place again. It is pretty much one of the worst sushi restaurants that I have tried in NYC. read more

Hidden Gem! My friend and I came in for dinner Friday night. Good selection and prices are reasonable for the area. For appetizers we had takoyaki balls and bbq spare ribs. For entree we ordered a specialty roll and salt and pepper pork chop. Nice indoor decor! read more

OBSESSED. A hidden gem. The foood is soooo good. I am so picky with sushi and every piece of my rolls were perfection. Flavors, freshness, service - perfection. pulsd has an offer for a sushi dinner for 2 and it's a great deal because you get so much food. Legit everything way tasty - even the sake! And the green mochi ice cream - such a great finish to the meal. Highly recommend! read more

I've been trying different sushi spots in the area for a few years and love this one. Super fresh sushi for great price too. The spicy tuna roll is amazing read more

A great new neighborhood gem! Hidden down 49th street with no flashy awning, the indoors of this restaurant is beautiful, relaxing and cozy. Sounds of birds chirping over the speakers and warm lighting are great ambiance. Fresh, clean tasting food and friendly kind waitstaff. Will definitely be back! read more

We loved this place quick service! Peaceful and good quality. The No 7 roll was amazing and we enjoyed the hand rolls. Also they have good portions for the price! read more

Not only is this restaurant lovely to dine in but the food is delicious. We've been there twice - for lunch and dinner. Their wonton soup, normally just a bland starter, is the best I've had. For dinner my husband got the sashimi salad & the Pork Chashu Miso Ramen & was very pleased with both. I got the Yang Chow Fried Rice. I don't know what they do to it, but the smoky flavor beats all I've had previously. Highly recommended. read more

This place is beautiful inside and the service is amazing. This is def a hidden gem that needs to be exposed. They have a wonderful lunch menu that runs pretty late and probably one of the most cost friendly lunch specials I've seen in a while. Run don't walk you will def walk through those doors feeling like your escaping the city. read more

We came to PAC Rim because of all the great reviews on yelp. We are from Vancouver BC where there is no shortage of sushi restaurants. This place was great! Food was fresh, service was wonderful and the ambiance was very relaxing. The prices are very reasonable for the portion size. read more

Pac Rim - I love me some Salmon Hand rolls! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Terrific sushi and main dishes. Very good looking restaurant inside, with a nice staff. Recommended.

I tried this restaurant for the first time 2 weeks ago and already came back a 2nd time with my sister. We ordered jumbo shrimp with broccoli and orange chicken. Both dishes were delicious. In addition to the great food, the ambiance is pretty and very calming. The staff are also extremely nice and very accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food at this restaurant is delicious to say the least. The first trip to Pac Rim I ordered General Tso's Chicken not spicy. It came with white rice but the waiter said I could get brown rice instead at no extra charge. Also ordered Wonton Soup. The soup was good, the chicken was very good. The nicest part of eating here was the workers. The workers were so calm, pleasant, and very polite. Eating here was a very nice experience. The restaurant doesn't look like a nice place on the outside but makes up on the inside. I loved this place so much I went there a second time. This visit I ordered Shrimp with Broccoli. The dish came with miso soup. I never ate such good shrimp. I'm sold on this place for Chinese food. read more

Very impressed! Went on a late Sunday afternoon with family. The inside of this restaurant is just lovely. So tastefully decorated -- very tranquil and relaxing. The food was outstanding from appetizers to entrees and there are many different Asian dishes to choose from Including sushi. Light and refined. No heavy sauces or loads of salt -- just good fresh ingredients, skillfully prepared with incredible flavor. The hospitality and service were also outstanding. We all cannot wait to go back. A fantastic addition to the Turtle Bay restaurant scene! read more

PAC RIM OPENS! This "bowling alley" entrance opens to a lovely dining area! After that get ready for some good Asian food. This place has it all from Sushi to Chinese to Thai as a start. My Sushi was abundant and fresh. Can't wait to try dim sum tonight. The person who takes the orders is very knowledgeable and patient. I recommend this place. read more

Very good sushi for the price. Very underrated spot! It was pretty quiet when I went but they have a really nice interior. The food was fresh and I liked the environment! Would recommend! read more

All I can say is that I miss when this was Yama 49 (pre pandemic). The sushi here is no better than grocery store sushi. It's probably why when you walk by it's always empty. Such a shame considering the place is so beautiful inside. read more

So good!! Since discovering this restaurant, I've wanted to go back for lunch everyday. Prices are a little high, but it's worth it for the quality. The front desk lady is so nice as well. 10/10. Great place read more
