A unique experience. Overall it was quite nice, though not quite extraordinary.
The big place was mostly empty when I entered in the early evening hours of a Saturday, but I pushed past this red flag and took a nice seat by a window.
If you’re someone who likes options, the menu at TPK will be your playground. There are so many choices across so many different eastern cuisines, all laid out nicely with flags to show country of origin. Descriptions show ingredients, but some familiarity with Asian dishes is advisable – lacking this, remember that Google is your friend.
The miso hot + sour soup had lots of broccoli, which added a nice healthy kick, but it lacked a real sour tang. The veggie spring roll was crispy and greasy on the outside and a bit mushy on the inside, like they are at most places. The Korean cold plate had many refreshing ingredients like seaweed, kimchee, beansprouts, and seasoned potatoes; it was overall a fun and interesting way to add some vitamins to the meal.
The Chicken Dolsot Bibimbap was the star of the show. It came out with it’s signature appetizing crackle in a stone bowl; red hot, which is how I like it. It came with more veggies and potato sticks which I eagerly stirred in with rich gochujang sauce and runny fried egg. This dish was delicious to the last, with rice that continuously developed a “sear” against the hot walls of the bowl. The portion was huge, and I easily could have managed with less appetizers. It left me feeling full and warm all over.
Not everything was a home run, but enough of it was pleasing to bring me back, especially the bibimbap. Staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant looks very nice on the inside, and though it was dark outside, I could see it was nestled in the corner of a nice sort of park square. A solid choice overall.

Came in for lunch on a Sunday. Probably one of the best dim sum i have had in a while. The ambiance was clean and fresh. What i liked about this restaurant is that as soon as you sit down, there is a server going around with a cart of dumplings and dim sum already made! So you can just tell them which one you would like to try! We had the shrimp sim sum, the eggplant bites, and a few other delicious dishes! We finished it off with freshly made sesame ball dessert. All the food was palatable and satiating. Will come back to try more plates!

There isn’t a bad restaurant in this cul-de-sac, but Pacific Kitchen is special in the variety of regional dishes available and clearly marked. Great, fast service with a delicious meal of superb quality. Will definitely be back to tackle more of the menu!

We catered our daughter’s first birthday with Pacific Kitchen. We ordered size “small” trays of beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, satay chicken skewers, crab rangoon, and spring rolls. Michael was so easy to work with to customize our order. Everything was ready promptly on time and came with serving spoons. We were so happy with how seamless our experience was! We would definitely cater our next party with Pacific Kitchen after this pleasant experience. Thank you!!

A cozy atmosphere. Staff is always welcoming. Alex goes out of his way to accommodate my food allergies—I have both a milk and wheat allergy—and to make sure everything’s up to par. Great place with a ton of Asian fusion options. The bibimbap bowls are absolutely delicious and warming. The yucca fries are my husband’s and my go-to with our meal.

We eat here often. big pan asian menu. reasonable prices. excellent service by a staff that seems to have been there forever. Full bar. lots of free parking. very good shabu-shabu. frequently we ordered several appetizers instead of an entree. duck sliders, egg roll, fried tofu and soup are a complete menu. not a fancy place but large and comfortable.

We’re from Louisville visiting and we were looking for a spot to eat and I picked this place. I ordered the duck and it was so good! The waiters were so nice and chill and my friend and I will most definitely come back to try other dishes I did try their passion fruit alcoholic drink (forgot the name) and I wish there was more passionfruit flavor in it (tasted that alcohol though lol!), but my friend and I enjoyed ourselves very much.

Service was great. We ordered yuca fries for appetizer and they were fantastic. Pine nut duck fried rice was excellent. Pork belly was good but the steamed buns were a little rubbery. Good selection of wines. We will be back to try Dim sum. My only “complaint” is that their menu is so large it’s a little confusing.

Massive variety of dishes to choose from. While the appetizer (Hong Kong dumplings) was a pretty small portion, the main dishes were plenty large and very tasty. The only thing I could complain about is how long we had to wait for the server to come by towards the end. It was pretty empty there, but we waited a good 10-15 minutes to even be able to ask for the check. He was friendly, just disappeared for a while.

Delicious food and great customer service even on a busy Sunday! Must try the Kalbi, Spiced Pork Belly and the 5 Spice Calamari. The kalbi was soft and cooked perfectly. Loved the plum sake which was a recommendation from the staff. They run a great business and though it was busy, they were still able to accommodate two of us without a reservation. Give them a try if you like Asian or Pacific Islander Food!
