Ordered takeout on 4th of July. Order can out from kitchen just as I arrived. Hostess was very pleasant and cheerful. Food was delicious... the best asian food I've in St Augustine. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Portions were generous and all dishes were hot. Although I didn't eat in, the restaurant is nicer than most asian takeout places. I'm likely to dine in sometime to get an even better experience. read more

Early Father's Day Dinner! Delicious well seasoned in both THAI and CHINESE Cuisine! I applaud this place for doing both so well. The service was great! The kind woman was super on the spot, despite being very busy and only one in dining room. Comfortable temperature inside, even with ordering hot tea. This is a plus, especially in out hot Fl summers. We also ordered sushi and the chef made a beautiful hand roll, forgot to take a photo, but will definitely return and order again! Appetizers were amazing: shrimp Shu Mai and beef on a stick were a definite must order. All the flavors were very well balanced and much better than others places Ive been at recently! This was definitely an elevated meal that I haven't had in quite some time. Chicken Pad Thai was superior in flavor, texture, seasoning and amount of color on the plate with beautiful vegetables. The Szechuan Shrimp was delicious, not sweet and a great portion of shrimp too! All veggies were a still crunchy, which was delicious! I would come and have that entree again and again! It's the best Ive had in 25 yrs. I used to live by a place called Szechuan House and this dish reminded me of this amazing restaurant. Great experience! Looking forward to returning and trying other dishes. If you want great sit down Chinese or Thai this is where you need to go. Sushi was top tier too! read more

I was really excited to try takeout from your restaurant because I've had a few very good lunches there and have always had a great experience. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the takeout tonight. It was, without a doubt, some of the worst Chinese takeout I've had in years. I ordered the tempura calamari, and the coating had completely fallen off, leaving the dish pretty much ruined. I also ordered the clear soup, which I'm a big fan of at the restaurant, but this was nothing like what you serve in-house. It was very strange, almost like someone had ground up breading and added it to the soup. The biggest disappointment was the Kung Pao chicken. The vegetables weren't even cooked. I'm not looking for anything from the restaurant. I just wanted to share my experience because I've had several really good lunches there and expected the same or close to quality with the takeout. Tonight was a huge disappointment, especially because I've always enjoyed the restaurant. read more

** 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

We love the flavors here! I wanted to try something new tonight and the server suggested the Pan-yang Curry which was nothing short of outstanding! The suggestion opened up yet another dish that I'm going to try many places including back at the Bistro. The owner and staff always bring the A Game!!!! read more

Incredible food that keeps me coming back! Everyone is so kind and welcoming here, I can't think of a single negative experience I've had because there isn't any. I appreciate the calm music and relaxed atmosphere when I dine here, nothing better than knowing you can pick anything off the menu and having it be incredible while relaxing. read more

Old management has taken over. Food and service were excellent. Best Asian cuisine ever. Welcome back.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
