After tonight 2-3 stars, prior to my experience tonight with my pad Thai order I would’ve given them 4 or 5 stars.Sushi lunch: great, good portion (have only tried vegetarian sushi at this point)Pad Thai: literally the worst pad Thai I have ever had in my whole life, if I could give zero stars I would. Also one of the most expensive for $19! I was really hoping the experience would be much different. Save your money & your tastebuds. Had absolutely no flavor, super bland, & almost tasted like they forgot half the ingredients despite looking like it had been seasoned. I’ve never had to put salt and soy sauce on my pad Thai, but has to eat a few bites going on shift overnight. They should just nix this off their menu.Front hostess is always very friendly.

Our waitress was really pretty, she had red hair and a tattoo on one arm. I didn't catch her name or number though ahaha? also really good sushi. Only issue was that it was pretty dark with dim lighting but if you're into that cool.

The waiter was sassy and spilled water on my back. The tempura is disgusting and the shrimp tempura roll wasn’t freshly crispy. Will not be coming back

When we’re craving sushi, this is our go to place! The atmosphere is welcoming, food is prepared exactly how we like it and the manager is almost always making his rounds greeting people. Great spot for a date night!

Whenever I am in Sarasota and I am craving sushi, Pacific rim is the place to go. They have one of my favorite sushi rolls ever, the Atlantic roll. Great staff and great service!

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Our server Emily was amazing and made us feel so special, adding a few extra treats along the way - thanks Emily. The food was excellent as always. An added touch from the owner, stopping by to make sure we enjoyed our meal & treating us to ice cream cones for dessert. A call out to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet to visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Pacific Rim has a great ambiance and an extensive menu of delicious foods, including sushi and even some "American" dishes. The service was exceptional and my meal (Massaman Curry) was rich, creamy and flavorful--some of the best I've had in Sarasota. We had casually mentioned to the table server that one of us was celebrating a birthday. At the end of our meal they surprised us with a large plate containing samples of many of all their desserts, complete with a candle and singing Happy Birthday--free of charge! I can't say enough good things about Pacific Rim. I will definitely be going back.

Visited here for lunch with friends. I ordered the Bento Box lunch special. It was mediocre at best. The tempura was heavy and oily. The spicy tuna roll wasn't even remotely spicy nor was it as fresh as it should have been. The miso soup was just OK and the salad was somewhat limp and had much more dressing than it needed. The service was prompt, accurate and friendly. The prices are reasonable. Unfortunately the quality of the food was not up to par. Most unlikely to try this place again.

Nice menu with lots of options. Didn’t love the drunken noodle but everything else was good.

Pac Rim is always a stellar choice for Japanese cuisine and sushi alike! Attentive servers, a knowledgeable waitstaff and bartenders make this a sure spot to enjoy a company outing or to impress a date!
