    We went to Pacific Rim Hawaiian and Poké in Mesa last night, because they are opening up their Surprise location very soon and we wanted to try it beforehand! This might be the BEST Hawaiian food I have ever had. It was SO good. We both got combo plates: mine was with katsu, char siu, spicy garlic chicken, and BBQ beef; my husband got the same, except instead of katsu, he got kalbi ribs. It was fantastic! All of the meats tasted so good, the mac salad was delicious and everything has top tier quality and taste. But I think my favorite and the star of the show is the poké. We tried two different kinds: a half pound of Hawaiian style (right) and a half pound of fried crunchy garlic (left). OMG it was heavenly! Such fresh fish and amazing flavors. I absolutely LOVED them both and wanted to eat pounds of it if I could. I want to try ALL the flavors! They had about six different poké flavors and indicated that the Surprise location would have way more, roughly double that and I am so excited about that. They also have bento boxes, burgers, poke bowls, lumpia, spam musubi (including deep fried), and an assortment of desserts. They also do weekly rotating specials; this week was loco moco specials and there were a lot of different ones to try. Chef Blaise Aki came to our table and chatted with us and he is awesome. Takes pride in his food and his customer service (which was top notch, by the way). He is an awesome chef and his food is amazing! Such a good experience and I cannot WAIT until they are in Surprise!

    Casual vibe in this Mesa neighborhood offering Hawaiian cuisine. The cashier was helpful in explaining the menu. I tried a combo platter for 20$ offering three types of meat. Teriyaki beef, Kalbi ribs and char sui chicken. The char sui chicken stood out most. With its unique Chinese flavors. It instantly took me back to my favorite childhood Chinese restaurant. The beef and rib quality, I was not a fan of. Now the Mac salad needed a little more creaminess to it, it was kind dry. The steamed riced well it was steamed rice.The proteins lay on a bed of shredded cabbage slaw as garnish. I personally would like to see just cabbage, thicker cut and steamed. When I do have a craving for that Char Sui chicken I will be back.

    I wish I could give them more stars! If you love Authentic Hawaiian food this is the place!! We ordered their Pacific Rim combo and the Chicken Katsu, also tried spam musubi and lumpia's....all of it was so amazing!! I 100% recommend this place! They were super friendly and from Hawaii themselves, definitely the Aloha vibe you will love! We will be back! I could eat this everyday!! Mahalo!

    Stopped by for labor day weekend to get our grub on! Still as yummy as last year! My husband ordered take out and didn't wait too long! My little one LOVES the char siu!

    You never have to wait longer than 5 minutes to receive a taste of Hawaiian culture. The decorations are reminiscent of the voyager culture and the food is priced so well than you can ball on a budget for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I hate Mac salad but they do it just RIGHT

    Poi butter mochi- the last one!

    Wow, the food is delicious here! This place has been popping up in my social media feeds and I love Hawaiian style food and gave this place a try today. At 11:20am, already a bunch of people eating here and one group already walked out. I ordered the Hawaiian plate and also got a poi butter mochi. I've never had poi before but can report back that the poi butter mochi is very yummy! I did a little research and poi is a traditional Hawaiian food made from a starchy root, similar to taro, called kalo. I love taro, ube and many starchy root vegetables, so this was up my alley. I could tell from the packaging that the poi was probably a starchy root vegetable. Not too sweet at all and quite tasty! It's not like Taiwanese mochi which is my reference point and there's no filling but the sticky and sweetness suits me. I love it! And I bought the last one for today. I can see myself coming to buy this very often! I will also say that the Hawaiian platter was very well made. The mac salad is how it is supposed to be made. I've also never had lau lau, but in my culture, we have something similar (think: Chinese tamales, known as zhongzi) and it was so good, and flavorful. I also went home and did some research and lau lau is made with meat and vegetables stuffed inside taro leaves and then wrapped in ti leaves. The ti leaves are discarded after the lau lau is cooked. The taro leaves is what gives the meat and vegetables a distinct flavor. It reminded me of home, felt like comfort food for me! The lomi salmon (sort of like poke and initially I thought it was pico de gallo lol - but its salted raw salmon with diced raw tomatoes and onions) portion was small, but so good, very well seasoned. The haupia is a coconut pudding dessert, reminds me of a coconut dessert I can make. Not too sweet at all and perfect for a hot day, so refreshing! My only gripe is that the rice was on the tad dry side. Everything was so good here and I already want to come back! I'll be back to have their poke bowls and try their daily specials, the guava cake and Chantilly cake! They also have ube mochi and butter mochi too, so I will be back to try those too! The island vibes here are so legit, come give it a try! Hawaiian reggae was playing and they also bring in live music performers too. When you're missing Hawaii, do come here, your heart, spirit and tummy will be so happy you did!

    Pacific Rim Combo

    This has to be my favorite hawaiian restaurant in the valley!! My familly and I were in the area and starving!! I remembered saving this spot on my tiktok so we decided to try it out. We walked in and it was pretty full! We totally got a warm welcome and got amazing recs. I decided to get the Pacific Rim Combo because I couldn't decide what to order... this meal has a little bit of everything & wow everything was so delicious! It comes with so much food I had at least half for leftovers, it's worth the price for sure! My mom ordered the poke bowl, it was so fresh and so good!! I'll definitely have to order it the next time I come in. The service was amazing, we spoke to the owners (husband & wife) and they were so friendly which is another great reason to want to go back!

    Tried their Pacific rim combo today ($18) and my mouth was watering. The kalbi, beef, and chicken were so delicious and tender. The mac and cheese was also so good too. I usually get their poke bowl, but I am so glad I tried their pacific rim combo today. Inside the restaurant is very cozy with cute hawaiin decor. Service is very fast and efficient. They take card which is always a plus. Definitely a frequent place I go to and always crave for.

    Still the Best Hawaiian Food in AZ We went again on Saturday and, even though it was super busy with people coming and going, the food and service were amazing as always. What we ordered: * 3 chicken katsu plates * 1 Pacific Rim combo (char siu chicken + teri beef) * 1 Hawaiian plate (laulau, kalua pig, mac salad, lomi salmon, haupia) * 6 musubi * 3 containers of poi * 2 containers of shoyu ahi poke * 2 containers of Hawaiian ahi poke Every single item was on point. The laulau was moist and flavorful, the katsu was perfectly cooked, the poke was fresh, and even the poi tasted just like home. Service & Atmosphere: The owner was away at a Hawaiian Hālau event, but the restaurant still had plenty of staff keeping things running smoothly. That says a lot about how well the place is run--you can feel that everyone takes pride in keeping the aloha spirit alive. Bottom line: No matter how busy they are, Pacific Rim always delivers. The food is consistently authentic, the staff is friendly, and it still feels like stepping back into Hawaiʻi every time we visit.

    Ahi tuna tasted really fresh and clean with no iron-y aftertaste. I liked the barbecue beef and kalbi, heads up they are on the sweeter side. I would probably skip the char siu next time, but it was solid. The macaroni salad is the kind without vinegar, but it was pretty good. I would come back, probably want to try the loco moco next time or the katsu. Warning, they do automatically add a $3 water bottle to the bill which I thought was strange, so make sure to watch out for that. The restaurant is decorated with a hawaiian theme and it's a cute spot.

    NEW NAME: Pacific Rim and Bistro FOOD: Delicious and plenty of it for the price. SERVICE: Service was good and staff were pleasant & friendly!! AMBIANCE: It's a small quiet restaurant. Order at the counter and they bring the food out. This was our first visit and we'll be back!!

    Absolutely DELICIOUS food!! We ordered the katsu bento box, furikake salmon over fried noodles, Kal-bi plate and Hawaiian style poke. Happy to say we will be regulars!

    I was in town to run a marathon. I stopped in here to get dinner. It was easy to find on Southern Ave, across the street from Mesa Community College. Service was very nice and friendly. I ordered their Hawaiian plate (laulau, kalua pig, rice & mac, lomi salmon, and haupia). The food was good and certainly reminded me of all of my past visits to Hawaii. They even had a TV that showed clips of popular Hawaiian spots.

    Good selection of Hawaiian Sun beverages.  Must be a good kine local place.

    We were looking for somewhere to eat in the Mesa Riverview area and I didn't know this was back…read morethere, right next to the movie theater. Reviews are very good and so we gave it a try on a Saturday evening. When we arrived there were 2 people eating at the sushi counter, otherwise it was empty. During our time there another couple came in, so it was not busy and easy to get a table. The server was very friendly and service was great. For that I'll push my rating to 4 stars. For me, this place is personally 3.5/5. Everything was decent but nothing I would rave about. And that might just be me, because people love this place in other reviews. It was possibly just a bunch of little things that made me think it's just okay. I thought the texture of sushi rice was a bit too soft, I know it's sticky rice but I felt like it was a little over cooked and too soft. I also thought both of my rolls tasted exactly the same. Which thankfully I thought were good tasting. The stuffed jalapeños were definitely a miss, they were so under fried so mostly a mush of ingredients in a jalapeño. And initially I liked the karaage but had a couple of tough pieces, so overall that was just okay. Miso soup was solid. And I realize that the appetizers are cooked in the back and not by sushi chef, and people rave about the chef. However like I said, both rolls seemed pretty similar tasting and one was supposed to be more spicy. All very standard flavors, like I would expect from AYCE sushi. I think I'm just looking for more delicate flavors with higher quality pieces of fish. I likely should have tried some of the special items listed on the rotating items board near the sushi bar. Next time we go back I'll try sitting at the sushi bar and trying some speciality items. People have said this is the best way to enjoy this place. We will likely come back during a lunch or happy hour special, if I like it better and I can upgrade my review I'd be happy to give this small, local family run business all the stars.

    Came here to eat lunch before a movie and I was pleasantly surprised! Sushi was so yummy and…read moreservice was friendly. I believe they have a happy hour or a good price on sushi... ! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

The first time I came was when they originally opened, so had a few hiccups and sushi was okay. Now years later, I would have expected better quality fish, rolls, the way they cut their fish etc. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Came with a friend, she said she enjoyed this place. I ended up ordering two rolls for myself. Can't remember the names now, but the rolls were flavorless even with sauces that went on top (I actually asked for more and still didn't have much flavor), the cuts of fish were very skimpy/thin and uneven, my sushi rolls themselves also lacked ingridients inside and were so small. As shown in my pictures. I ended up taking the left overs home to show my spouse and to see what he thought, thinking maybe my taste buds were off, and I was being extra and he was in shock that I actually ate some of it and didn't say anything. For rolls costing $15+ I would hope for a bit thicker cuts of fish since that's what I'm paying for, not closer to paper thin... I was truly so disappointed.
