Authentic, eclectic Asian cuisine! My husband spent 6 months in China. He said these were the best Shanghai dumplings and closest to China's preparation that he's had in US. He also said Szechuan Chicken was on-point! The Bulgogi was amazing! Their menu was full of amazing choices, many vegetarian and GF options too! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

DLW and I have made a few sojourns out this way, mostly to get Japanese at Mei next door. We have gone to Pacific Kitchen for dim sum, which we greatly appreciated since this is the only spot near us which does the whole push-cart deal, and they do it pretty well. We hadn't gone for dinner before a Saturday night date night. The restaurant is quite large, bigger than it looks from the outside, with a big bar area up front and seating for 100 or more in the back. They do good business for dim sum on weekends, but it was pretty quiet early on a Saturday evening. The servers seemed eager to wait on us, and freely gave advice on the very large menu. We had a Korean seafood pancake, which was pretty large and cooked dark brown, almost burned, but crisp and tasty. Entrees were pork tonkatsu and Thai basil noodle soup, both enormous portions. Prices were on the high side, but this was really a lot for the money, and the soup was especially nice with loads of lemongrass. In retrospect we should have split an entrée, because DLW ended up taking most of her soup home and I left most of the side dishes. If you like any sort of Asian cuisine, you should find something to like here. Just come hungry. read more

Went a little after lunch there was no wait and just a few people in the restaurant. Order Pad Thai. It was fine. Nothing out of this world. We also had the Hong Kong Noodle Bowl. It too was fine. They have a full bar and plenty of beers to wash down the meal. Overall it was meh. Maybe I'm comparing it to other Asian fusion eateries. If so, they're middle of the road. Not bad, just not extraordinary. read more

Just lip smacking! I've been here a couple of times over the years and i believe anything you eat here will make you feel good!

My husband and I just happened upon Pacific Kitchen while driving around. We were fabulously surprised! It had such a beautiful atmosphere inside. We started off with the Vietnamese egg rolls. They were fried crispy, and packed with pork, vermicelli, and taro. They came with a really nice, sort of sweet, Vietnamese vinaigrette. For our main entrees, my husband ordered the seafood Cantonese chow mein. It was loaded with shrimp, scallops, clams, calamari, and vegetables over crispy noodles in a decadent sake wine sauce. It was really good! For my entree, I ordered the seafood shabu-shabu. It was huge! It was chock full of shrimp, calamari, crab, clams, udon noodles, and 3 different delicious varieties of mushroom...shitake, oyster, and enoki. It came with a large pot of seafood broth to cook it in. I absolutely loved it! For dessert, we got the cheesecake. It was covered in caramel and strawberry sauce, and fresh berries. Overall, this was a totally fun experience, and would definitely recommend a visit! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for date night. We were very excited by the international menu and held high hope for the restaurant. Here are my thoughts of the Pacific Kitchen: Parking: There is plenty of parking available. However, if this is your first time visiting this shopping complex, the layout of it can be very confusing. It took my boyfriend and I about five minutes to find the correct entrance to the restaurant. Atmosphere: The restaurant itself is dark and feels cluttered due to all the decorations along the walls. The seats along the windows were nice and well lit by natural light coming into the venue. Our host graciously sat us in this area of the restaurant Food: We started with thai soft shell crab. It was the special app of the evening. It was good. However, the soft shell crab was very expensive for what we got. As an appetizer, I was hoping for two crabs. However, only one was served. My boyfriend order kimchi fried rice. The proportion of the rice was huge! However, the kimchi fried rice was lackluster, dry, and under seasoned. You can tell that not enough kimchi or oil was used to make the fried rice. I order sole thai herb crispy style. The fish was cooked very well! It was nice, crisp, and light. However, the sauce put on top was overkill. They put way too much ruining the crispiness of the sole. Additionally, the sauce was too sweet. I wish the sauce was a light glaze and much spicy. If you do order this dish, I would recommend getting the sauce on the side. Service: Our server was awesome. She was very attentive. She was quick to get our drinks and order. Overall: Although, I was not satisfied by the quality of our food. I may (?) come back to Pacific Kitchen again to try other items on their menu. I appreciate their creativity and their attempt to bring international cuisine to the area. read more

Such great service and great food as usual. We were there close to closing time and did not feel rushed at all. Everything was awesome.

The Pacific Kitchen is the real deal. I made plans to have dinner at The Pacific Kitchen prior to doing an escape room in Montgomery last week. The Pacific Kitchen is located in a small alcove, adjacent to Go Bananas Comedy Club. I had been back here before, but not realized that there was this small oasis of Asian restaurants, all of which I want to come back and try! The weather was beautiful, so we opted to eat outside. The first thing I noticed upon sitting down was that the menu is HUGE, intimidatingly huge. Thankfully, I had my heart set on getting some bi bim bap, so I didn't get lost in the menu. We also shared the lettuce wraps and crab meat cannolis. The lettuce wraps were definitely a standout appetizer. The bi bim bap was excellent and had the perfect level of spice. The stone bowl was sizzling and the resulting crispy rice was oh-so-satisfying. Service was a little slow for how quiet the restaurant was, slow enough that this was almost a 4-star review. I hope that this was just a fluke.Overall, I can't wait to come back and try out more of this big menu! read more

This place has been on my "to-do" list for a long time. I'm glad we finally made it over there, because it was delicious! I was surprised when we arrived at the restaurant, because it wasn't exactly what I expected from the outside. It's tucked back from the main stretch in Montgomery along with a a couple other restaurants which all kind of resemble cozy-looking homes. The inside was relatively empty, as we were dining around 2pm on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. I think I only saw two other occupied tables. Our waiter was very friendly, and also helpful in describing dishes and making recommendations when we became overwhelmed by the large menu. Being the non-adventurous types we are, my husband got the teriyaki chicken and I got the cousin tsos. We also had my brother with us, who branched out a bit and tried the Steak Dolsat Bibimap. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time and it was all very hot and fresh. My cousin tsos chicken was INCREDIBLE. I loved that it was made from whole chicken breast and didn't have that tough, stringy texture like I've experienced at Chinese take-out places. I also like the variety in the mixed veggies--so good! My husband really liked his chicken teriyaki and the fried rice that he had upgraded his meal to get. My brother liked his Bibimap, and I liked watching him try to eat it. It comes out in a very hot stone bowl and everything was kind of layered in the dish, so he was trying to mix it without touching the dish and the struggle was real. The one thing NONE of us liked about his dish was the bean paste. It was disgusting, but fortunately, it's served on the side, so he was still able to enjoy his meal. My only (tiny) complaint is the price. I love this place enough to eat there on a regular basis, but my wallet won't let me. My cousin tsos ran about $14 and an upgrade to fried rice brings it up $3 more. This won't stop me from coming back, just means I see the Pacific Kitchen more as a "special occasion" eatery than a, "I'm not cooking, let's get something out" place. read more

One of the best things about this place is their diverse menu - it spans across multiple Asian countries and it all tastes great. They have a long list of vegan options and it's a nice environment with decent service. I always love coming back and trying something new. read more

Oh wow the food was so good. The meals are labeled by flags to represent which Asian country they originated from. I got Korean Bulgogi and it was a hit. I was really conflicted by the options they have; Thai, Vietnamese, I think I saw Hong Kong and Taiwan but I might be remembering incorrectly. Japanese... I need to go back here again soon. read more

Food was great, so was service! Ambience was lacking. Restaurant needs revamping but so does that whole marketplace.

Ambiance: boring looked like cafeteria seating with some side tables for 4 or less people. Menu: huge need time to look it over but lots of selections. We had: orange beef with soggy vegetables that were supposedly "sautéed" the sauce was so sweet my husband couldn't eat it. I tried it and also found it to be really sweet and the meat was chewy. I chose the duck which was a leg it was crispy and tender inside but not much flavor. Loved the egg roll and oolong tea. Second time we went but still disappointed considering the cost. Service: it was ok... read more

This is probably my favorite food spot in town! They have so many different kinds of cultural food to choose from each different countries. I would definitely give this place a visit if you are stopping by Cincinnati. read more

To my surprise, Cincinnati has a lot more Dim Sum options than I was expecting. I will have to admit I have not been to the other Dim Sum options in town, but the Pacific Kitchen pretty good to my pleasant surprise. They serve pretty quality dishes and frequent the tables pretty often. One of the qualms I have is the dishes being offered such as a poke dish set. This is definitely not part of traditional dim sum, and honestly, it could've tasted and been cut better too. The food here is great, but if you don't want to spend $30/person, I would suggest one of the other dim sum places in Cincinnati. read more

OUTSTANDING! EXCELLENT. Our first meal at Pacific Kitchen was great! My wife is still raving about the egg rolls. She has many adjectives to describe them. Her main course was Teriyaki Chicken. I enjoyed Thai Edamame and Scallops. We're going back, it will take a while to explore more of their remarkable diverse menu. ENJOY! read more

Good food and service! I travel all over the country and rate them very high!. The food is very original and right to me, an Asian.

The most amazing Asian food around here. Looks good and tastes good. Great service too.

I had the seafood pancake. It was superb. The best thing I have had in a long, long time. I am glad I found this restaurant.

This restaurant has excellent service and decor. It was a great dim sum experience, the food was about 4 stars but service was about 5 stars. I loved the shrimp balls and the shrimp in peppers. The Singapore noodles were delicious also. Dim sum items were between $5-$8 and the noodles entree was $14. They serve Dim Sum weekends 11-3pm. I am looking forward to having dim sum here again and also trying the regular menu as well. read more

Very good Asian cuisine! We loved the Szechuan dish in particular. Ambience is lacking, however the food makes up for it.

Come and get dim sum! Finally another dim sum option in town! For awhile my go to spot was Uncle Yip's and after their chef changed, it hasn't been as good as it once was. Pacific Kitchen is a bit of a trek from downtown and hidden off the main road but it is worth it. Off Montgomery road, the road to this little treasure is between the Fifth third bank and the Cadillac dealership. Let me say that I was definitely craving dim sum and hearing about this new spot, I had to check it out for myself. I went at around noon on a Sunday and it was just starting to pick up. Our party of 7 were seated immediately. There are lots of large tables perfect for big groups and what better way to experience dim sum :) This place has a very cool vibe, vibrant, laid back music, very clean, and a very friendly attentive staff! Unlike some other places in Cincinnati, PK had the full cart appeal. Carts of dim sum dishes pushed around, lots of options, all made fresh in-house. We started off with the classics, chicken feet, congee soup, roasted garlic broccoli (Kai-Lan), turnip cakes, pork/shrimp dumplings, beef/shrimp rolled rice noodles, tripe, and duck. Between 7 people this was pretty filling and somehow we found room for more. We topped off with egg tarts and a fresh baked coconut bun, definitely recommend both of these as they were delicious and flaky!! Sit back, enjoy some tea, and share! And remember to loosen up the belt for more noms :) will definitely be coming back! read more

It was a Sunday night for us in Cincinnati. Long wedding weekend and finally some time for my wife and I to relax for at least one minute. After unwinding at the hotel and maybe a small nap, we got ourselves into a time crunch with where we could go for dinner. Look in the sky. Its a bird? Its a plane? Nope, it is that ever trusty Yelp app. Pacific Kitchen had great reviews, it was nearby, and best of all, it was open. Upon arrival, I must say that is was a little difficult to find the door. Maybe it was tiredness. Maybe it was stupidity. Maybe it was genuinely that hard to find. One way or another we made it inside. And very glad we did. It was dead inside (maybe no one else could find the door either?). It was a Sunday and in the witching hour of closing. So understandable. We ordered some beers in our cool little glasses (see the pics), and couldn't decide on a sake option. So the waitress suggested getting a flight. To which we suggested, getting some food along with that if she didn't want us sleeping in the booth that night. So we also started with the Siu Mei. The sake flight we chose was a BROAD range of flavors and tastes. It actually worked out well because my wife liked 2 and I liked the other 2. I was a fan of the unfiltered sake. The Siu Mei was basically a roll with shrimp, pork, and mushrooms. I am not even a mushroom fan and this was fantastic. If I have one complaint about this place, it is that the menu has too many good sounding items. We settled on some of the scallops and the duck fried rice. Simply fantastic. The scallops had a little spice to them that I loved and perfectly cooked. And the rice was some of the best I've had. Chock-full of duck meat and not too greasy. I wish our hotel room had a fridge because I might have eaten what was left behind for breakfast the next day! Yelp app to the rescue and a great experience at Pacific Kitchen. No reason for anything less than 5 stars. read more

Had a nice date night with my girlfriend here. We spontaneously chose this place. My first time here. Big Asian cuisine fan. We got multiple appetizers. First we got crab cannolis which is basically the same thing as a crab Rangoon. They were great. Fried perfectly and the filling inside was very fresh. We then got 3 different dumpling appetizers (I forget the names). But two of the dumplings had shrimp in them and the other had sweet sausage in them. For our entree we both got the pork belly ramen. It was delicious. It was HUGE too. The bowl was bigger than my head lol. It had pork, a fried egg, ramen, and various other spices and ingredients that I forget the name of lol. We had a great time at this place. If you like Asian cuisine, you should give it a try! read more

This is a review for the Dim Sum. Pacific Kitchen serves Dim sum on weekends, from 10am (?) - 3pm, so for lunchtime. When you first enter, the greeter will ask if you're here for dimsum. If not, she'll give you the regular menu. When seated, a person with a cart full of metal tins will stop by, and ask if you want any. It's pretty fast paced, and its okay to not know what anything is called. When I order, i just point to what looks good. Chances, are, it is! Here, they have 1-3 carts circling at a time, and there's a few servers floating around with 'Specialty' dim sum dishes. Most of the items are in the ~$4 range, but the specialty ones are $9 (ex. the one veggie dish of Chinese broccoli/Kai Lan, Roast Duck, Jellyfish, salt and pepper shrimp, pork chops, etc), so feel free to ask the price of that particular dish if you're on a budget! If you don't see what you want on the carts, ask any of the servers if the kitchen can make you the item, they'll be happy to help out and get what you need. What I got today: Pan Fried Turnip Cake Steamed BBQ pork buns Red bean and Coconut cake (its actually agar jelly, not a cake cake one would think) (Pork) Siu Mai Shrimp Fun Roll Shark fin Dumpling Shrimp and Chives Dumpling Crispy Shrimp Roll Shrimp dumpling (?) Braised Beef Tendon The bill was ~$48 for 10 dim sum items for a party of two . Roughly ~$25 per person to leave feeling full. About standard price and selection. Taste is consistent with other dim sum establishments, so I'm very satisfied with this restaurant. I'll be back! read more

Excellent restaurant. Has a large menu which is usually not a good sign from the point of view of quality but everything we had was delicious. My wife and I shared the beef and cilantro soup. Unusual taste but worked well. We also had the edamame, which had some terrific spices in it. I ordered the Malaysian chicken based on a friend's recommendation and it was wonderful. However, the surprise of the evening was the bibim bop that my wife got. I think it was one of the best bibim bop I've had in in the Midwest, including some very authentic Korean restaurants in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Our cocktails were pretty good as well. The only dish that wasn't that great was a bite I took from my friend's beef stew. Otherwise, great place and I highly recommend it. read more

After a long day, sitting down and eating this hot, fresh, amazing food really hit the spot. The ambience was calm and comfortable. I ordered the Jap Chae and my friend ordered the steak bibimbap.

With an extensive menu, if you are craving any type of Asian food, I 100% recommend this restaurant! read more

It's tucked away behind the 53rd bank across from Kroger on Montgomery. Theres a bar area in front, spacious seating area in the back and decor is modern and pretty. I have been here a couple time now, the food is really good - not authentic but they do a good job on Asian fusion. The menu is pretty extensive and cover pretty much every county in Asia lol. The only complaint I have is the service is pretty slow; both times I was there the place only had a handful of seated tables and we waited a long time. Yuca fried - sooo good definitely recommend. It has nice spiciness to balance out the fried-ness :) Five spices pork tenderloin- pretty good, it's nice and crispy outside and tender on the inside. I do wish it comes with some sauce to help balance it out. Roasted duck with steamed buns - I'm a Peking duck fan so this one gets a meh. read more

Excellent food and service! I went with two friends, and we shared Dim Sum (the steamed chicken bun and shark fin dumpling were great), Singapore noodles (phenomenal) and the Vietnamese egg rolls (terrific). I love the fact that the menu indicates the country of origin for each item. It was fun to see where the different recipes are from. I will definitely be back! read more

I'm sorry but this place is simply bad. The first smell I was hit with walking in the door is a smell like cat urine. Not as strong as like a litter pan but a cat urine smell. I have cats which is why it was so familiar. Decor is dated and drab. Service was attentive and the only plus. But the food....in a word, flavorless. We eat at other Asian restaurants and have been to Japan, China, and Singapore. The food is not spiced at all, lentil curry soup was watery and no flavor, Malaysian chicken curry tasted like canned chunk chicken not fresh chicken breast with vegetable with absolutely no spices or flavor, the steak was swimming in bbq sauce which is what gave it flavor, the coconut rice just had some sort of toasted coconut in it but otherwise was just white rice. The Vietnamese spring roll was fried and that's just not authentic. There are a myriad of other places for Asian food in Cincinnati. Do yourself a favor and choose one....and skip pacific kitchen. read more

Panko bread crumbs chicken is phenomenal. However the grown woman manning the phones + cash register is extremely cold at best, and blatantly rude and annoying at worst. I brought it up to two friends and they said they had the same experiences with this woman! read more

Our first time at Pacific Kitchen. Came here hoping for the Dim Sum weekend special but missed the hours for that. But we love asain cuisine (my boyfriend is half Filipino) so we decided to stay and try it out. we shared a traditional egg roll (yum) and an order of Shanghai Pit Stickers (double yum). We also shared their beef and cilantro stew...no lie, the BEST soup I've ever had!!! I would eat it everyday if I could. I also ordered Some of the best bulgogi I've ever had. The Korean sides (kimchee, etc) that came with it was ok. Honestly, nothing special and lacking in salt. But the bulgogi itself was exceptional. My boyfriend ordered their pork belly ramen and never stopped raving about it. We will be back a LOT! read more

We loved it! This place looked so familiar. It turns out it used to be the same location of Pacific Moon from over 10 years ago. I was intrigued by the very positive Yelp reviews thus my wife and I had to check The Pacific Kitchen out. We got there after 8 pm and got seated right away. The place is really spacious with a lot of seating choices. They had two big groups and a few couples dining otherwise they weren't that busy. Our server came promptly, was very friendly and got our beverage choices from their decent wine list. We noticed that we would needed extra time to peruse the menu which had tremendous choices of Pan-Asian dishes. You almost want to try everything but you know you can't. We were starving so we ordered Vietnamese spring rolls while we continued to make our choices. The Vietnamese spring rolls were awesome. They were fried but you also get to wrap them further with lettuce so you end up with a spring roll in a lettuce wrap. It was delicious and a great start for dinner. We decided on another appetizer - the Skewer Sampler which allows one to pick three skewers. We had the fish balls, pork belly satay and beef skewers. They were also really good and delicious. We had the Beef Shabu Shabu and the Goat Curry Stew for dinner which was quite an experience. We ate our entrees family style. The Shabu Shabu, served boiling on a portable stove, is a kind of soup which you actually get to cook yourself with thinly sliced beef and a variety of vegetables and mushrooms, and get to flavor to your choice. It was piping, steaming hot and so water-salivating good. Asians find this as a comfort-food experience. The Goat Curry stew was also very good but could be a little to spicy for others. We ended with awesome desserts. My wife ordered the Mango custard and I ordered the Green Tea "Gelato." They were both gelatin-like desserts which we found both to be excellent desserts that were delicious and yet not too sweet. We were given a surprise bonus dessert of Coconut "Gelato" because my wife had expressed her "fear of disappointment" if she ordered the Coconut Gelato. She has a bias or preference for "baby" coconuts for desserts and dislikes the type of "mature" coconut used in American/Western cuisine. Well we were not disappointment. If anything the Coconut Gelato, also a gelatin-like dessert, was the best of the three. We had a very positive experience dining at The Pacific Kitchen. They are an Asian Fusion restaurant and yet are able to preserve the essence of the Asian dish they serve. I'm sure their artistic presentation of foods adds a positive visual stimulus which makes the dining experience even more pleasurable. They have so much more in their menu, and they also serve dimsum on Saturday afternoons so we know we will be back. Great dining experience. Highly recommended. read more
