While not an expert on sushi, I have had my share from Cleveland to Vegas to several Carribean areas. IMHO, Pacific East is at the top of the list.
We went on a Saturday night right in the middle of the dinner rush, line out the door but were seated pretty quickly and served even faster. We had the most helpful Japanese waitress ever. She helped us wade through the huge menu and made suggestions that turned out to be spot on! A real sweetheart that we will ask for again next time.
Their ginger salad dressing and miso soup was very tasty. I know others have complained about portion size and how big the rolls are but we were really hungry and didn't have any problem making them fit our mouths. (they are big but that's ok!)
Both of us noticed how fresh and tasty the rice was and the seaweed wraps not tough like we've found at other establishments.
We live just a few short blocks from SumoBoy in Mentor and while Pacific East is over a 30 minute drive, it's going to be our new favorite sushi spot.
We noticed as many people getting take out as eating in. With the parking issue in the Coventry area, I see why.
Cleveland may not be world famous for it's raw fish but Pacific East does a darn good job.
