    PacRim sushi restaurant near the UN
    Marie S.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Salad, spicy tuna and salmon roll.

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

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

They are always respectable, listen to your needs, help you find whatever you need. 10 out of 10 best food in the neighborhood. I always come here for the sea urchin and salmon roe/caviar - and it has yet to be beat. It's so good! One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.
