| - I was sitting at work wondering what the heck to eat for lunch. I hopped on Yelp, popped in my work addy and did a search. After getting a few results, I settled on trying Pan Asia.
I hopped in the g-ride and headed over. When I walked in to this strip mall location, I was very surprised. This was modern and sleek decor with flat panel TVs and cool music bumping over head. Wow!
I decided to sit at the bar for my meal. I was STARVING so I chose to go with the deluxe sushi combo. I was just drinking water and had to trouble 2 people to finally obtain a lemon for my drink. It was a slight annoyance. When my plate arrived, I was delighted by the presentation. On the platter were 2 pieces of yellowtail , a salmon a tuna, a black pepper tuna and the dish usually comes with 8 pieces of spicy tuna roll, but I asked for spicy yellowtail instead. I was so glad that I was starving!
The quality of the fish at Pan Asia is so-so. It isn't bad, but it's not without a bit of aftertaste and certainly isn't the highest quality. Again, you won't get sick, or you won't be horrified by the sushi, it's just middle grade.
On my second visit, I got to try the "Fire Roll" which is a California roll inside, sauteed garlic shrimp all covered with eel sauce and Bacardi 151 lit on fire. It makes a great presentation and is very tasty for those who don't enjoy raw fish.
I would highly suggest this place for run-of-the-mill sushi. I would especially suggest it for those who are with fellow diners who do not eat sushi as Pan Asia offers a full menu of Chinese cuisine.
I know that Pan Asia will become one of my regular lunch spots for a quick sushi fix!
