    Chicken
    Brenda H.

    First time there so we did not know what to expect. We did not know what dim sum was and turns out it is just appetizers rolled out on a cart. It is a good way to try a little of different foods. We tried the shrimp dumplings and also shrimp egg roll, both were very good. What they consider hot or spicy sauce was mild to us. We also ordered off the menu. I got the orange beef with jasmine rice which was good but not much orange flavor but the beef was tender. My husband ordered the my cousin tso chicken with fried rice. It was crispy. The service was over the top because we didn't even have our coats off when we were being asked to pick off the cart of dim sum, drinks etc. For a while we were not sure who our waitress was as there were several at our table. lol. The place was busy. The menu is large with different options from all over Asia. We will be back to try something else.

    Lamb chops with brown rice

    I ordered the lamb chops and that was surprising good. The service was great and ambiance as well.

    Our recent dinner here was pretty good. We ordered the 5 Spice Calamari for an appetizer. It was ok. They were pretty greasy and chewy. I ordered the Malaysian Curry Chicken Laksa and my husband had the Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Ribs). While we both thought the food was OK - it has been better on previous visits. My dish was supposed to have spice, as indicated on the menu and having had the dish before - I know it to have some spice. It did not have even a hint of spice and was lacking in depth of flavor due to it. There was very little meat on the short ribs. Overall, it was ok this time. As usual, the service was great.

    Not our cup of tea. We were in the area and went here for early dinner because most reviews seem positive. When we arrived, we relieved We that we came here many years ago to try dim sum. We got Cantonese chicken eggroll but it had some dark ground meat in it so big disappointment. I don't eat ground meat ... not sure if it was chicken. That's the "fun" of ground meat ... no idea what's included. Yuk. So hubby ate both. I ate the mushroom soup and it was best part of the meal. He chose Singapore noodles and said they were very dry and wasnt impressed. I got ginger scallops with vegetables and my choice of type of rice (jasmine, brown, coconut milk and veg fried). I picked coconut and hubby and i both liked it. The vegetables some were ok and some bitter. I wasn't expecting the scallops to be battered and fried. We both agreed it wasn't a place we would return. Service was fine and everything was hot and nice presentation. Perhaps it's too authentic for us. We have some Asian friends will tell about and see what they think.

    Nasi goreng

    Easy parking, though the entrance is a bit around the corner. Good size interior and very international Asian menu. We got a few starters to share--skewers were on the smaller side, but the 5 spice shrimp was very yummy. We all left full, although I wish the nasi goreng had more flavor.

    I have been visiting The Pacific Kitchen for the last several months, and this weekend I hosted 8 friends there. And I just can't recommend this restaurant enough. It is deceptively large and beautiful inside, with the reminders of serenity, like the wall fountain. And -- yes -- the bathrooms are as beautiful as the rest of the restaurant. The service was on point -- our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about the offerings, helpful, and willing to make substitutions to the menu. With 22 different countries represented, it was difficult to make a choice. But luckily, everything is amazing! The Beef Buldogi and the Pine Nut Chicken are my favorites, but among my group I heard kudos about the Cantonese Roast Duck (interestingly enough, it was supposed to be a half a duck but had 2 drumsticks), the Pacific Pineapple Chicken, the Steak Dolsot Bimbimbap, and the Pacific Pineapple Chicken. All of it cooked expertly, from a chef who knows each culture well. I swear, it's always like having your favorite dishes from your last 20 Asian restaurants, all in on place!!

    The service was fast and the dim sum was tasty! There were so many options to choose from. One of my favorite spots, I definitely recommend coming here.

    Went here for their weekend Dimsum. It did not disappoint but I have had better. The staff were polite and friendly, and the service was quick, a tad bit fast. Be ready to understand the available items. My favorites are the shrimp dumplings, sticky rise in lotus leaf, chicken feet, pork buns. I was not at all a fan of the sour dumplings. The pastry was thick and lacked enough soup in the dumplings. Overall a decent place to try Dimsum.

    If Thai food in Cincinnati were a prize fight, this place would win by knockout in the first round…read morewhile the rest of the restaurants are still trying to find their gloves. Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork.

    Came back again to try this place out and I still feel the same about it. Nothing really stood out…read moreand tasted a little bland. The duck was deep fried like a country fried steak. Steamed vegetables tasted like they were out of a bag. Lastly, the sauce barely tasted like tamarind. Was this worth $30? Absolutely not. Seared salmon was ok. The service was great. The place felt clean and seemed liked a good hangout spot.
