My husband and I were out on the east side a couple of weeks ago, and we did some looking around on Yelp to determine where we would grab lunch. We decided on Pacific East because I knew I would have options as a vegan who has been on a huge veg sushi kick lately.
First, the interior of the restaurant was really awful - for being in a nice shopping plaza, the entire place felt off. It was small, dated, and cheap looking. I usually don't care about this kind of thing, but it was not what I expected at all.
My iced green tea had a fishy taste to it. That did not set a good tone for the meal. The miso soup and salad both tasted off to us as well. I usually really enjoy miso soup, but I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. My sushi rolls were just okay and my husband felt the same way about his chicken teriyaki meal. It was the kind of meal that made me wonder if I was going to have stomach issues later on in the day.
I would NOT return and I would NOT recommend it. We were really disappointed.
