Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Little tension on this listing: diners rate it well and the kitchen graded well. Where how guests are treated comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.6, so it reads as a strength.
Conspicuously absent: cleanliness, which no reviewer brings up. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 18 of the 25 reviewers who rated. Of the 25 rated reviews, 24 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (98/100) with 2 basic violations. That inspection was on March 19, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Brevard County, it is safer than 76% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and dishwashing facilities.
Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

Delicious salmon teriyaki Bento.

We had an amazing experience at Pacific Rim! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The highlight of our visit was definitely our server, Logan. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down. He went above and beyond to make our dinner fun and memorable even showing us pictures of himself dressed up as Logan from Wolverine, which was hilarious and honestly pretty impressive! His personality and great service made an already great meal even better. If you're visiting Pacific Rim, definitely ask for Logan. We'll absolutely be back!

Came here on a whim for a birthday dinner while on vacation from Tampa and our experience was excellent. The food was delicious and came out expeditiously with wonderful service from the staff. Logan in particular was a real charm and made our evening feel extra special. Highly recommend!

-
Great sushi at a fair price
-
I love this place! They hands down have the best wonton soup I’ve ever had. Plus my boyfriend loves their tuna rolls and chicken pad lo mien. The freshness of all their ingredients is amazing. I get take out often here, and also have ate inside numerous times. All 10/10 everytime.

My favorite restaurant and it’s full of Love Big

If you haven’t been here you are TOTALLY missing out!!! Took my friend who has been living here for the past 3yrs and never come to eat here. He was so amazed at the quality and great service.
-
Hostess, slightly rude. Waiter, always smiled but probably he has no clue. If you want your vegetables cooked, don't count on it. Sat in the front room and could hear everything going on outside. As much as food costs, do better.
-
Outstanding meal. Nathaniel is an amazing server!
-
Best sushi in the Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach area, hands down. They don’t miss. Their Thai curry dishes are excellent as well. The lunch menu is a great value. Food is high quality and fresh.
-
I highly recommend! Eat sauce is sweet like honey and their sushi rolls you can customize and make your own with no limitations. I’ve tried sushi joints all over Florida and this is my favorite spot. Cute little low spot with a welcoming atmosphere ❤️
-
Just st a perfect place to eat Sushi and taste the flavors of mother nature’s delicious food 🥘 what a good place to chow!!! In the REAL!!
-
The dishes were very good with very generous quantities or even a little too much. The sushi was slightly lacking in freshness but was good. On the other hand, the glasses gave a really strange and unpleasant taste to the drink. I still recommend it!
-
5 stars all the way! I’m from the pacific and this place is the real deal! Best Thai curry ever! Best service too! Logan is an excellent waiter!
-
Service from Aaron was great, but unfortunately if you have a gluten allergy or Celiacs, your options are incredibly limited. Other sushi restaurants in the area are able and willing to accommodate my partner and I, but regrettably this is not one of those restaurants. Aaron wad very helpful and attentive during our time, but due to the lack of options we will not be returning.

Enough said

Nate was our server, he was great! This place is awesome
-
Busy place with great food and a fun atmosphere.
-
Food was great. I got the teriyaki salmon. The taste was there and it was good. Giving 4 stars because I thought there was too much teriyaki. For me, a little teriyaki goes a long way. It got too strong for me.
-
Our server was arin, he was awesome. He was so attentive to not only our table, but everyone around us. He was so kind and made the experience great! Even with it being so busy, we always had refills and we were being checked up on constantly. He for sure deserves recognition!
-
Pacific Rim is a wonderful place. The food is fantastic and filling! There are options on the menu for everyone and service is top notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
