| - This Pacific East is a good Japanese option on the East Side.
I, like many of my fellow reviewers, prefer the Coventry location to this one. There are a few reasons for this, in my opinion. The Eton location offers a smaller Japanese menu and no Malaysian menu. The Eton location is also very small, and can get swamped on weekends and during peak lunch hours (just like the other Eton restaurants). Because this restaurant is so small, they tend to only have two or three servers on staff, so the service can get a bit slow.
All that being said, the food here is delicious, and is a better Japanese restaurant than most others on the East Side! One of my favorite dishes to order here are Hamachi kama appetizer, which is a grilled, rich and fatty yellowtail collar. Another favorite of mine is the Chirashi, which has several different kinds of sashimi over a bed of rice and pickled vegetables. A chirachi lunch is a particularly good deals, since it comes with miso soup, a salad, and the entree for about $13.
My conclusion: This Pacific East location is second only to it sister on Coventry! Definitely worth a try!
