| - Pacific East in Solon is not much different rom Pacific East in Cleveland. Fair quality, gigantic portions, and fair prices.
The boyfriend and I found ourselves in Solon running errands for a friend, and decided to grab dinner there. Maybe we were in the wrong part of town, but dinner options seem to be a bit limited in Solon. We chose Pacific East because we love sushi and because we had a decent experience at the Cleveland location.
Upon first entering the establishment, we were turned off by the intense fishy smell. It was seriously overpowering....I wanted to turn around and leave, but the boyfriend convinced me to stay. The place was completely empty except for two other customers. It appears that this location used to be a Wendy's or Roy Roger's, or some other fast-food joint. It has those curved windows that you often see at said establishments. The decor inside was pretty plain.
Service was friendly and prompt. Our water glasses were kept full and our server repeatedly checked in to see if we needed anything. I suppose this is a benefit of dining in an empty restaurant.
For our meal, we chose to split the "Bridge for Two" which contains 14 pieces of nigiri, 22 pieces of sashimi, a spicy tuna roll, and a California roll. It is served with house salad and miso soup for two as well. Total cost? $50. The miso soup was a tad on the salty side, but still flavorful. The salad was the typical salad you get a sushi restaurants: iceburg, cucumber, tomato, and ginger dressing.
When our "bridge" arrived, it was beautifully presented. The sushi chef obviously took pride in the presentation. The amount of fish on it was actually a bit daunting. The chef did not skimp on the cuts of fish. The fish on the nigiri was literally hanging off both ends of the rice. The sashimi was cut into huge slices. The rolls were completely stuffed with goodies. I normally don't even like rolls, but I devoured these without a problem. We were hardly able to finish the entire meal, but didn't want to waste good food, so we made ourselves uncomfortably full. It was worth it.
The quality of the fish was good, but not great. While we had much variety, some of the fish seemed a bit dull. None of it tasted bad by any means, just not as fresh and flavorful as it could have been. I was quite pleased that the fish was served at the perfect temperature, too.
Would I go out of my way to grab sushi here? No, probably not. But it's good, especially for the area.
