** GREAT SUSHI AND SERVICE ** The Sushi was excellent and their lunch deal is a great bargain!!! My Daughter and I had the Lisa Lisa roll and the Green River Roll and both were amazing! read more

Went on a first date here. Quaint little place and cozy atmosphere. I had high expectations since my date said the sushi chef had won awards. We ordered the edamame with sea salt. Our waiter was efficient and friendly. We shared the Cobra Roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese, cucumber, topped with spicy krab, avocado, fish roe, eel sauce) and the Fire Starter Roll (spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, topped with tuna, spicy fish roe, garlic sauce.) Both rolls were yummy and actually paired very well together with the creaminess of the avocado & sweetness of the eel sauce in contrast to the spiciness of the tuna and garlic. We also ended up ordering the Spider Roll (tempura soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, fish egg & eel sauce.) Never got a photo, good crunch, but note there are only five pieces in this roll. Overall, I enjoyed my sushi dinner and would try it again. read more

Food was amazing last night. Pad Thai with veggies & chicken was very flavorful. Spicy tuna rolls, crab rangoons & seaweed salad was great too. We so appreciated your cooks & server. Thank you for a great night! read more

My sushi experience was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked into the restaurant, the ambiance set the perfect tone for an unforgettable meal. Each piece of sushi was a masterpiece, expertly crafted with the freshest ingredients and bursting with flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of the sashimi, the perfectly seasoned rice, and the delicate balance of flavors left me in awe with every bite. The presentation was stunning, almost too beautiful to eat, and the attention to detail made the experience feel truly special. Paired with exceptional service and a cozy atmosphere, this sushi experience was nothing short of amazing--I can't wait to go back! I ordered my go to favorite dragon roll! Hope whoever is reading will enjoy! read more

Pacific Asian Bistro, St. Augustine, FL My family and I visited Pacific Asian Bistro for my birthday, and overall, I would rate the experience 7 out of 10 stars. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The prices were very reasonable, and they offer an extensive menu with a variety of options. However, while the food was good, it didn't quite stand out as extraordinary. That said, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for reasonably priced sushi in St. Augustine.

My Wife and I Love The Food at this Restaurant, to put it mildly! The Ambiance is Remarkable and The Service Outstanding! Rachel was Our Server and was Fantastic! Don't wait Gooooo Now! read more

We're new in the area and this was our first attempt at Chinese here. The food is very good, fresh, generous portions, served quickly and presented well. The menu is unique in some ways. While they offer the old standby General Chens chicken you won't find things listed like Hunan Beef, or Szechuan Pork. But the staff are friendly and very helpful and you simply have to accept that they have a different approach to the food. So for example the Shrimp with Garlic Sauce will get you very close to a Hunan Shrimp, just with a little twist and it's great. Also, tons of sushi , tempura and teriyaki on the menu. We'll be visiting again for some sushi. read more

I really enjoyed my meals here. The food I had was well flavored and the servers were attentive. Slightly small dine-in area which is Dimly lit, clean and comfortable. If you enjoy flavorful Asia food you might want to consider stopping by- read more

Subject: Complaint about declining quality at Pacific Asian Bistro (Palencia) For the past 11 years, we have been loyal customers at Pacific Asian Bistro in Palencia, dining there nearly every week because of the consistently good food, generous portions, and excellent customer service. Unfortunately, over the last couple of months, everything has changed dramatically -- and not for the better. Last night's visit was beyond disappointing. We ordered soup, spring rolls, and sushi, and encountered issue after issue: Miso Soup: It was so salty it was inedible, and the vegetables were raw and uncooked. Spring Rolls: For years, the order always came with two rolls. Now, it is just one. Sushi: The rolls have shrunk to half their previous size, making them nearly impossible to eat with chopsticks. Despite asking specifically for more rice (since last time there was almost none), the request was ignored, and my order was even forgotten entirely. The Dynamite Roll, which used to be beautifully presented, arrived looking as though it had been tossed on the plate -- no garnish, no care, and only five flimsy pieces that fell apart when picked up. The portions have been cut nearly in half, while prices have increased by 78%. That is unacceptable. Equally troubling was the service. We were "greeted" by a heavily tattooed server who spoke to us with an inappropriate familiarity. The manager refused to even address my concerns and instead passed me to the owner who was on the phone. The owner was dismissive, rude, and more interested in lecturing me than listening to valid customer complaints. After more than a decade of loyalty, this was the final straw. The decline in food quality, portion size, presentation, pricing, and customer service is shocking. WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO PACIFIC ASIAN BISTRO AGAIN read more

This was our first time at Pacific Asian Bistro. Service was fantastic. Neat and clean. Very affordable lunch specials. We ordered bbq ribs appetizer which was very flavourful. I had beef and broccoli with white rice. It tasted great. There was a bit too much sauce for my liking but next time I will just ask for less sauce. My husband had the chicken and broccoli which was also good. The lunch meal came with a choice of soup or egg roll and both were good. read more

Came in today 5/14 wasn't too busy, upon arrival the host sort of just stared at me. Then I said 3, she immediately sat me at a table. When I arrived I realized my 2 y/o didn't have her shoes on. Typical mistake when you were gardening all day; nonetheless I asked if we could sit at the booth knowing she won't have the urge to run around like at a table. The host was hesitant to respond then she said "ok". We sat down were given our menus and it took a while for the waitress to come. Finally she did asked for our drink orders brought them and was gone for a while, I did see her standing right in front of me talking to another waitress and glancing at me then they laughed together. Super rude and horrible customer service whether they were laughing at me or not do it somewhere else where you are not smack in front of a customer. She came took our order and all around was just rude she threw plates on the table, silverware, it was an unpleasant feel. Felt very cold. The only kind one was a busser who was kind enough to ask if we needed a water refill. I just moved here from CA and I am definitely going to miss my kind and courteous Cali crew from Asian bistros over there. Here was not it. Ambiance was just mediocre the sushi bar was extra small and inside was like any other upcoming restaurant. Nothing special. My total was $65 for: 2 orders of vegi rolls $3.25 ea for (2) Gyoza $6.00+ 3 different vegi sushi plates $5.25 ea plus $2 extra soy wrapped A miso soup $3.25 Kids Terriyaki Chicken $10 Prosecco $8 Two orders of mochi $7.00 No Tip Left because I refuse to tip for HORRIBLE SERVICE, and today was horrible. I will not be back. read more

Great food and wonderful service. Really enjoyed the lunch special. I had the chicken teriyaki bento and everything was very tasty!

We had a lovely experience. Our server was exceptionally attentive and kind. Our food was great. Squid salad perfect as well as the krab Rangoon. Meals were great, and sushi delish We filled our bellies and fortunately had to go food for tomorrow! read more

This is a staple for sushi and pad Thai. Nothing crazy good but convenient and relatively cheap. Very consistent. Servers are always nice as well. Kind of a dark ambiance which makes it feel private. read more

Ambiance is nice for an eat-in Chinese restaurant. I have had the shrimp and scallops in garlic sauce, and it was very good. The hot and sour and wonton soups are also very good. The tempura was also a hit with my family. Service is fast and the staff are very nice. read more

Place is hit/miss. I think its success stems from its location to Palencia. If another Asian Bistro moved in, and increased quality and competed with prices, they'd give this place a run for its money for sure. Locals go here by default and lack of options. read more

Sushi was delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

So sad that Pacific Asian Bistro is now Pacific Sushi. The crab rangoon are still great but they got rid of most of the chinese menu items. No sesame or orange chicken, etc. Will not return and it was the best chinese food in town. Very sad read more

Always my favorite!!! No matter what you like...it's good. From sushi to rolls to edamame to chicken with vegetables. Amazing!!! read more

I loved my lunch here today. The crunchy rolls were very tasty!! Service was quick and friendly.

This place used to be better.. food and soup came out not hot- soup was barely warm.. food pretty good but nothing special.. better choices elsewhere read more

Place seems to have gone downhill. Wait staff dropped our food today... didn't know which sushi roll was which - they claimed the chef didn't tell them. Calamari quality went downhill... I think they use a new distributor now. We live in palencia and have really deceased the amount we come here since Fancy Sushi opened down the road. I don't think we will be back after today's experience. read more

It's a 24 minute ride, but still my go-to place for Asian food. Food: I really enjoy the pork fried rice. I know it's a odd thing to start with, but we've found since we re-located down here is that most places we've tried serve dried out bland fried rice. This is a foundational item! Really enjoy the Szechuan offerings. My regular is the chicken. The general's chicken is solid. The sushi is very good and fresh. Service: Eat in or out, the staff is generally attentive and professional. Facility: Always been clean when we've been there. Also you can eat outside, a major plus during this pandemic.

Pacific Asian Bistro - Sanitizer and a temperature check, a sad reality of dinning out. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

EAT HERE! I can't say enough great things about Pacific Asian Bistro in Palencia. We have been coming here for 6 or 7 years and it is a family favorite. You are greeted by a hostess but usually can expect a nod or hello from behind the counter. Each employee working here treats you like gold as the service is always exceptional from start to finish. The food is prepared as if it is being served to a King or Queen and the presentation is so beautiful that you almost hate to ruin the beauty by diving in to eat it! Don't hesitate though as anything you order will never disappoint you. Come hungry and expect to leave with your leftovers as the helpings are huge. We are partial to The Ashley Special which is #1 on the menu with General Tso being a second favorite. Try the Ashley Special and let me know what you think!! read more

Very disappointing dinner. The spring rolls were greasy and the vegetable filling was an odd consistency (creamy) and tasted old. The Mongolian beef and general tso's chicken were not hot and didn't taste fresh. read more

Great customer service when taking my order over the phone and professional packing. The food taste was hood but not the best if we take the price into consideration. I recommended but it will not be my first choice for Chinese food read more

Pacific Asian has become our go to sushi place! Today, I stopped in for lunch and got the lunch sushi special. For $15.25, you can get two speciality rolls with the choice of a soup or salad. I ordered the house salad and the green river and godzilla roll. Both were amazing and you could tell the fish was fresh. Our waitress this time was HiHi and she was very patient and with us and provided good service. Definitely recommend. read more

This used to be a decent place to dine. No more. They are understaffed and the food is lacking flavor. Absolutely nothing special about this restaurant. If you live in Palencia and are too lazy or don't have the time to go anywhere further this will have to be the place for you If you're craving this kind of food or just don't know any better about how sushi or sashimi is to be prepared and served. I ordered a sashimi plate and it was severed to me warm. Big no no. I strongly suggest you consider bypassing this restaurant. So many other better choices. read more

This is one of the best Asian restaurant's I have ever been to.they have amazing customer service and their mistakes are minimum when they do make a mistake they apologize.the food is really high quality and is so flavorful and delicious I would /10 recommend this place our waitress this time was Hihi and she is super nice and kind read more

Went to visit my brother and he took me to with really nice restaurant. The service was great and the food was even better.

Pacific Asian Bistro is hands down my favorite Japanese restaurant. I live about 20 minutes away, pass at least 5 sushi restaurants, and choose to come here every time. I literally dream about my meals there. I love starting with their clear soup and salad with ginger dressing. Their soup is always hot & delicious, never too salty like other restaurants. The ginger dressing is indescribable and the salad always tastes so fresh. I always order their Dynamite roll which is filling and the perfect combination of fish, rice, fried crispy outside & shrimp sauce drizzled on top. I always get their vegetable lo mein to go for lunch the next few days as well. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The servers are always super attentive & really kind. The tables are a little tight together but I love sitting at the bar and watching the sushi be made. Highly recommend!!! read more

I loved the presentation. Sushi was quite good. Was disappointed that there wasn't an option to order a big boat of it for a table of 4. I also found a hair in my second order of sushi. I told the waiter, but he didn't seem to really have a reaction. I'd suggest some tweaking overall. read more

Food was okay, but customer service was lacking, felt unwelcome and like a burden. I ordered chicken pad thai and it was mediocre, chicken was overcooked and the vegtables we're undercooked. Overall I would not come back. read more

Pacific Asian Bistro - Pad thai - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Service was great, ambience is nice, and the food was very good. We had the edamame appetizer with Kung Pao sauce, the honey chicken, and the Mongolian chicken. I would not recommend getting the Kung Pau sauce with the edamame, it's messy and doesn't taste good in my opinion. Both chicken dishes were great and you get a lot of food for the money. I wish they had brown rice in addition to white. There were some really loud people in there and the music was kinda loud. It seem like they could use some sound dampening. That coupled with the Edamame Kung Pau sauce and lack of brown rice is the reason I knocked off one star. I will likely place to go orders here in the future. read more

Staff are nice and very welcoming. Food was Ok. I've had better Asian food. We ordered Kani salad (not in the picture) it was different, they used soy sauce as the sauce not the usual sauce were used to. It taste fine. The Shrimp tempura was good tho, crispy and not oily. read more

Love Pacific Asian Bistro! I love my sushi really cold and fresh and they never let me down! I love all the menu options! Sometimes I only want sushi and other times I mix it with a Chinese dish like chicken and broccoli. I order to-go frequently and they always get it right. Lunch is often busy but they move people in and out pretty quickly. read more

Nothing special. Ordered the California roll and it has crab salad in it. The worst I ever had. I despise mayo or cream cheese and that was in the California roll. They then told me I could have replaced with crab stick. How do you know they put crab salad in California roll if not listed on menu. Totally gross and will not return. The waitress did not care when I told her. Edamame can not be messed up and won ton soup was ok. Better places around. read more

Excellent customer service from being sat at your table to when your exiting. Everyone is very friendly. Food is amazing and love the relaxing vibes. This was our 2nd time and would go back again when in the area. Nothing bad to say at all. A++++ read more
