Reviews for Pacific East Japanese Restaurant in Cleveland Heights, OH

Not the best takeout tonight. Missing ingredients. And dipping sauce for spring rolls was wrong. The sushi was warm, and the... nigiri was cooked, not raw, as ordered. Read more

I went to lunch here for my birthday. The place was not busy. We were seated and waited on quickly. The food was hot and tasty.... I think when I work from home, this may be a favorite spot of mine to hop in and grab a bite to eat. I attached a few items weordered. Read more

July 2022: I needed to use the restroom and they had the closest public option to the Blick Art Store. To show respect and... thanks for them allowing me to use their facilities without questions, I wanted to buy something...ordered the shrimp tempurasushi roll, which was delicious! Pros: * Beautiful, spacious interior decor of the restaurant with plenty of tables/ chairs inthe dining area. * Good food that tasted authentic. * The menu items were listed in English and were very easy toread/understand. The items also seemed to contain some authentic items which is consistent with I experienced during my travelsto southeast Asia. * Clean restroom. Liquid soap was available and paper towels were stocked. Typically, a clean bathroom can beindicative of a clean kitchen. * Friendly staff who were patient with me as I carefully inspected the menu items. Cons: * Whileit was tasty, I would have liked more eel sauce on my sushi roll. I know to request extra for the next time. Conclusion: I willreturn Read more

Love this place! Best place for sushi in Cleveland! Excellent customer service, place is always clean and the food is amazing!

An excellent purveyor of Japanese (& Malaysian) treats. They also have an excellent assortment of Japanese sake. I most often... order the toro tartar but on my visit the other day, I tried the yuzu tuna. The cubed and lightly dressed tuna (also scallions,roe and sesame seeds) was on a bed of greens in a heart shaped wall of thinly sliced avocado in a yuzu ponzu sauce. I amgenerally a bit prejudiced about avocado in sushi/sashimi but have to admit this was a very flavorful appetizer. I include aphoto of the Toro Tartar and the Black Pepper Tuna appetizers and the Ten Zaru. One of the delicacies available from the sushibar is botan ebi. The raw large shrimp is accompanied by the fried head. A rare delight. Another photo of a pair of botan ebiattractively arranged on a bamboo design plate. The agedashi tofu appetizer. The hamachi kama (yellow tail collar bone) is adelicious accompaniment to cold sake. There are morsels of lightly grilled fish in the channels of the bones. I recentlyordered a maguro, chutoro, otoro combination. A delicious tour of tuna flavors. Read more

first time here and first thing is first that drink was super delicious even though it was small and didn?t taste any liquor,... the flavors were good. it was very crowded in there, you can tell they are popular and they did have a lot of doordash orders. itried the manhattan roll, it was great but too much mayo for my liking. i ordered the teriyaki scallops, they were okay to mebut i did like the brown sauce that came with it. the brown rice was very dry, i feel like if they offered fried rice it wouldhave been a better choice. i tried squid for the first time here and it was tasty, kind of rubbery but it wasn?t bad at all. ido want to come back and try more sushi because they have a huge selection of sushi and to get that drink but food wise idk yet.

Wonderful ambiance - clean and plenty of space. Quick service and incredibly friendly. Some of the freshest sushi I?ve had in a... long time with more than reasonable prices. Don?t forget to add some cocktails to your meal for a steal and warm miso soup.Couldn?t have been happier my experience here! Read more

Very tasty, would recommend! It's a little bigger than a mom and pop joint, but it's got a lot of good stuff. We didn't get any... sushi but what we saw looked good, and you can see it prepared in the front. Both dishes we got were very tasty Read more
