Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Some good flavors but spotty execution. Some of the meat dishes were very (blue) rare rather than medium rare that we preferred. The desserts were phenomenal. The matcha cheesecake is to die for!

Great service, the food is flavorful and refreshing takes on traditional dishes. I started with the vegan butternut squash soup, I got the large bowl and didn’t finish! The dumplings and zucchini pancakes disappeared in between dipping and chatting. I got the peanut sauce noodles for a main and thought halfway thru, this is so good and I can stop right now, then I ate the other half, it was so good! Olivia had the tuna dish, the presentation is lovely and she enjoyed every bite.

My wife and I went here for an anniversary dinner, which did not disappoint. We have been here a few times now, and every time it is excellent. We started with the Thai calamari. It was cooked absolutely perfectly. The calamari was very tender, and the outside was fried crispy. The sauce was fruity and had a nice vinegary punch to it as well. My only critique is that it could have used more salt. Some pieces were salted nicely, but others needed more. For the main dish, I had the Duck and my wife had the Tuna. The duck was cooked to a nice medium rare along with a 5-spice reduction sauce, and it was delicious. It came with broccoli and a cheesy risotto. The tuna was served raw with a ginger-miso-wasabi sauce. It was so good. Service is always excellent. Lastly, we had a sample of the Mango Thai basil sorbet, it too was excellent, very Thai basil forward, which I really like. We left very satisfied.

Pacific Rim by Kana offers a warm, polished dining experience with refined pan-Asian flavors and thoughtful service. We ordered a variety of dishes and loved every one of them. The Tuna Tartare with Taro Chips was a crisp, textural starter with a bright, clean flavor. The Unagi Terrine was a standout—served warm over sushi rice with avocado and finished with a bold, green mustard sauce. Rich, smoky, and deeply satisfying—one of the best bites of the night. For mains, both the Japanese-Style Sablefish and the Korean-Marinated Ribeye were excellent. Served over rice, they evoke donburi and bibimbap in elevated, plated form. The sablefish was silky and miso-glazed, while the ribeye was charred and tender, topped with a soft egg that brought everything together. Dessert was just as thoughtful. We had a Pistachio and Mascarpone Crêpe, and a Crème Brûlée Tasting with green tea, key lime, and ginger. The brûlées were distinct and well-balanced. Our server even added a birthday candle—unprompted and kind. Service was quietly exceptional. Our young server (possibly a student) was attentive, sincere, and never pushy. The setting is elegant without being fussy—warm lighting, natural wood tones, and subtle pan-Asian décor make it perfect for a special dinner that doesn’t need to show off. Just quality, quietly done right.

Much care is taken in the presentation of dishes at Pacific Rim. Only one vegetarian main dish, Thai peanut noodles, but thankfully it is good. The few vegetarian appetizers (Chinese garlic chive dumplings, zucchini-scallion crepes) were also nice. Do wish they would add some more vegetarian options to their menu though. We sat outside because indoor seating was full, and the experience was just ok. The sidewalk is narrow and many people were walking through.
