It's crazy how often I have a craving for this place, in the short 3 weeks that I have been in the Cleve, I have been here 3 times. I was having some major sushi cravings when I 1st moved here and I was given a recommendation to go here with the title "Pacific East is the best sushi in all of Cleveland" from a local bartender.
I was disappointed. Their sushi is fresh and tasty and I was pleasantly surprised by the additional Malaysian menu (I used to live in New Zealand and worked at a Malaysian restaurant so I am a big fan). I ordered the tofu satay (only $2.95 btw) with the crazy good peanut sauce. I also go the roti chanai with the potato curry instead of the chicken curry (I love love love malaysian roti). Finally, I am obviously some kind of pig, the 2 roll sushi combo with miso and salad. Their miso I think is killer. I either think miso is disgusting or amazing and there it is amazing (although my dude isn't as blown away as me).
My only complaint is that the sushi pieces themselves are too large. I like a small sushi roll, something I can fit in my mouth in one bite. I mean who likes to eat a sushi piece in 2 or more bites it just doesn't work. Shit starts falling out of it, the 2nd bite is like only nori and rice and a shred of cucumber. It just doesn't work. So Pacific East, make your sushi smaller and you'd be the best.
