Dined here during restaurant week. Did not think the salmon was anything to rave about. Have had better fish meals at both Vinology and Gandy Dancer. Had a ginger cocktail that was delicious and I would recommend.

Tried to dine at a couple of nearby spots but they were booked so I popped in here for a quick bar snack. The atmosphere was comfortable and food and drink selections were fine. Nothing here to call to me and my snacking tendencies but the calamari was crisp (sauce a bit too sweet). The tuna tartare was nice but... More

great mix of southeast asian flavors for an American palate. Service was almost as great as the food.

Let me preface this by saying that this restaurant is one of my favorites and I especially chose it to celebrate a special evening. I made reservations through Open Table. I made a special request for a quiet table in a romantic setting. Here's where we were directed when we arrived - A table across from the concierge station and... More

Love the food and service. We have dined there several times in the past few years. On one occasion a large group resulted in way too much noise, so we left, but usually this is an excellent Ann Arbor restaurant.

Same title as a review of about the same date and I just say "ditto". Calamari tasteless and over breaded and the spring rolls a little over fried. Place is "double front" so is big with clean, pleasant, open spaces and enough seats. The menu is an interesting fusions. Unless one lives in Ann Arbor, no reason to choose first... More

Very nice atmosphere and staff was very attentive and knew the menu. The food was good but not fabulous. We had the calamari, which had no taste and very heavily breaded though the sauce for it was delicious. Presentation was very nice and the food (crab cakes and lemongrass chicken) was tasty but not outstanding. We would certainly return but... More

Mai Tai cocktail was so strong I had to order something else. Calamari was cooked to perfection, lamb shank was tender, large portion, fatty outter layer. The meat was however bland and I was embarrassed asking for salt and pepper since there wasn't any on the table. Once I salted it nicely it was way better, but why didn't the... More

We live in Ann Arbor and make a point of dining out every Saturday. A few months back we decided to give Pacific Rim a try because neither of us had been then since it was just Kana and was located closer to the medical center. What a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere is beautiful and very welcoming. The spring rolls... More
