Incredible food, fun and friendly vibes - this place is a total gem. Small and intimate. Don't be afraid to try something new or to ask about the sake pairings.

I was meeting a couple of people for a business lunch, and one of them suggested Pacific Boil. I…read morehad never been before, but I'm always down to try something new. After reading some of the reviews, I went in with mixed expectations. While the restaurant is a little tired around the edges, it's nowhere near as bad as some reviews make it out to be. The waitstaff was wonderful--super attentive, polite, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I ordered the fish and chips. As a girl from Alaska, I'm always hesitant to order cod fish and chips. The fish was a little tough in my opinion, but the chips were fantastic and easily the best part of the meal. I also ordered a side of coleslaw, which was good but could have used a bit more seasoning. My two dining partners ordered the shrimp basket and the oyster basket. The shrimp basket looked terrific, and it's definitely what I would order on a future visit. Both of them raved about their meals. I will say the portions are very generous Overall, this feels like a bit of a hidden gem. It may not be fancy, but the service was excellent and there are some solid menu items worth coming back for. I'd definitely return.

IMO, I've never been a huge fan of Pacific Boil, but my son likes it. The lobster tails were a joke. They just looked like large shrimp. Barely any meat, and no taste. The shrimp were straight up gross. They were mostly mushy in texture, and had HUGE poop lines that just squished into the shrimp. Gross. I threw half of them away. My son even admonished they've gone downhill and that's saying a lot seeing he used to love them. For $160, it was beyond disappointing. We will not be back.

Very family oriented restaurant. Simple decorated, Latin Music in the background but very inviting…read more We came here on a Wednesday at 6pm and it was not that busy yet. Menu has a lot of Delicious Peruvian options including some diverse Pisco Sour Peruvian drinks. We were seated immediately and our order was taken promptly when we were ready to order. For drinks we had the Maracuya Juice and the Chicha Pisco Sour. It was very smooth. For food we ordered Chaufa Rice with Seafood, Pescado Saltado and Ceviche Mixto. Each dish was pretty big, even to share and take home. Flavor was exactly like Peruvian food should taste (my mom is Peruvian and I have been in Peru a few times). Definitely one of the best Peruvian restaurants in Portland/Beaverton area.

Sharing a large parking lot in a strip mall, the restaurant had simple decor apart from the wall art and the service was friendly and warm. Starting with a Corona served with ice-frosted mugs, warm bread with butter was served as a complimentary appetizer. The mixed seafood Cerviche was just bursting with flavor in its vinegary goodness, packed with fresh seafood. I had the deep-fried ribeye with pesto spaghetti. Portion was huge! Meat was thin and medium rare (perfect), and i could not finish the spaghetti which was tasty enough to be a dish on its own. We finished with a flan and tres leches (forgot the pics). Talk about going out with flair!

They have about 3 big tanks of crab and lobster from what I saw last week. Being the end of the crab season it wasn't too bad a selection. All the critters looked alive and active - always a good sign. Now I'm used to going to Chinatown in Chicago/SF to get my live crab and that's a whole different kind of experience. You have to make your way past the live frogs, softshell turtles and other 'alternative' protien sources as you order up your clams and crustaceans but Daxing is a much more mainstream experience. No funky stuff...at least in the front where people can see. Looks like they're expanding too. They're just putting in some shelves and stocking up on grocery items so this should be a place where you can get most of your asian shopping done. The prices are cheap to reasonable. For the most part, everything here I found was cheaper than Uwajimaya. The produce secion is very small though. This place is a grocery store by the way - not a restaurant.

This is a pretty casual spot if you're just looking for a quick bite to eat! Salmon and tuna poke don -- 8/10. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. However, the salmon to tuna ratio was off with more tuna than salmon. Unagi don -- 7.5/10. This smelled super good, but it was a bit too salty for me. I thought they seared it nicely and the unagi was super soft.

The quality of the sushi was really excellent. We've eaten at a few conveyor belt sushi places around town and the fish and rice are never that great, so it's a relief to find a place with sushi fish this good. I got the chirashi bowl, which for $18.99 is a great deal. There was 3-4 pieces of salmon, 3-4 of excellent tuna, a couple of seared tuna, a shrimp, 2 pieces of eel, and a wad of spicy tuna and a dollop of fish eggs. The rice was really good too. The serving size wasn't huge, but it was enough. My wife got the salmon bowl and it was less food - an appetizer would have helped. We will be back! Very good quality, nice people.

I haven't been back to a Red Lobster since the whole 'AYCE Shrimp' fiasco, bankruptcy, and changing…read moreof CEO occurred. But the brand used to be THE fancy place to go while growing up for me, and was sometimes a family dinner stop for my wife's family...so it has fond memories But the ones close by have closed down, and my last visit wasn't good. But this location being so close to a store that we needed to go to, made me want to try it again for a weekend lunch. So I didn't do any searching for online menus and prices; my wife, mother-in-law, and I just went. And it turned out great. It's a large dining space, and it was empty when we came in the early afternoon on a Thursday, with nobody manning the front. It gave me time to examine the sad lobster tank. But soon, the hostess noticed us and guided us to a choice of booth (chosen) or bar seating. Many different pages of menus were given, and our server came over to give us ice water, a basket of cheddar bay biscuits and take our drink order. We munched on the good cheddar bay biscuits while perusing the menu (the biscuits have changed in appearance...whereas before, the tops looked like Guy Fieri's head, now it is more similar to Telly Savalas). All of us focused on the lunch menu, knowing we could share. Weekday Shrimp Trio ($17.99) - not available on the weekend, and with no substitutions, the trio consisting of shrimp scampi, shrimp linguine Alfredo, Popcorn Shrimp with french fries as a side. To my surprise, the best thing by far was the popcorn shrimp. Red Lobster debuted this in 1974, copying the idea of Cajun popcorn (crawfish), and I now believe I've never had it here before. I'm used to popcorn shrimp being tiny salad shrimp, with a thick batter: more deep fried batter than actual shrimp. This was very different: this was chopped up pieces of a much larger shrimp, lightly battered and deep fried. It was really good, and shows off the deep frying capabilities of Red Lobster. The fries were also very good: plentiful, lightly battered and expertly deep fried. Including the shrimp scampi (just OK) and the alfredo (very rich so the small portion was just right) made this dish a bargain and a good choice for someone who loves shrimp. Endless Soup, Salad, Biscuits ($11.99) - chose House Salad with a green salad mix, chopped tomatos. Very ordinary. But the lobster Bisque was enjoyed by my wife, especially with the never-ending supply of biscuits. She only needed one bowl, and gave the salad to her mom (Thousand Island not available so chose Citrus Lime Vinaigrette instead). Walt's Favorite Shrimp ($17.99) - eight pieces of lightly battered, tail-on, butterflied shrimp, with choice of side (mashed potato in this case). The shrimp was really good, and the mashed potatoes being enjoyed by Mom. Payment is taken at the table. It still was pretty empty when we left, but the news is that Red Lobster is doing better. Glad to hear it, with the food quality and value menu leading the way.

A waiter finally showed up at 12:10PM, the same time another table guest got upand asked the hostess if she could tell the wait staff they were ready to order too. We both ordered the "all you can eat shrimp" which features a new "Garlic Bread encrusted shrimp". We both included this in our order. IT WAS HORRID. Overcooked and SO MUCH GARLIC and salt. One bite was LITERALLY all we could eat of it. My wife said her mashed potatoes were good, but my Chesapeake fries were red with so much seasoned salt that they were inedible. The waiter had new fries sent out that were only lightly salted, but by then I was done, my meal ruined. We paid our bill and left. It will be a long time before I go back.

So when they have something not worth the money, I feel like im getting ripped off. And that pisses me off!!!! I brought one of the kids along afternoon sushi. She wanted salmon sashimi, I wanted scallops sashimi. The menu said 3 pieces. Ok, the scallop nigiri is one whole scallop partially sliced in the middle and folded out over the rice as one piece. Cost is 8 dollars for one piece. So a 3 piece scallop sashimi cost $22. It cane on a plate with one piece of scallop sliced in half then in thirds for six slices. Don't order sashimi at this location. They really cut these things thin or in smaller pieces. They think you're getting good sashimi. There are at least a dozen sushi places around that will give you a proper thickness of their sashimi slices of salmon and three piece whole scallops. I was angry, but kept my temper and just stopped communicating with them and saying no I don't want anything extra. I'll eat what I have which was good and I don't want anything else from these people. I'm angry because they tried to rip me off.
