Very delicious food. The softshell crab feeds both the eye and mouth. The Thai drunken fried rice is very well seasoned but not too salty or sweet. My favorite of all is actually the steamed fish with ginger and green scallions. The broth is absolutely fantastic. The seasoning is just right, honestly possibly the top 2 steamed fish I ever had in my life (and I had this dish many times).

This was such a great experience. Atmosphere was great, server Danielle was awesome! Food was amazing! Would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the food, the people, music, ambience, everything!! We will be back.

By far some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. We were in town visiting and I saw it had great reviews so we decided to try it out. The attention to detail is great, the miso soup was delicious and the sushi was beyond this world. Definitely would recommend, it’s worth every penny I promise.

A hidden gem! Our friends actually found out about the place and come here frequently, so they recommended we try it out. It was extremely well decorated, and totally decked out with a partial ship, palm trees, and a lot of “pacific” decor. The service was 10/10 as our waiter was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was great and we enjoyed our first time here. Definitely will be coming back in the future!

I’ve been going to pacific paradise for years and it is one of my favorite restaurants for Sushi though they have a huge variety of other tasty items. The prices are reasonable and the service is always friendly! They have a great Sake selection and the deserts are delicious too, make sure to save room!

I loved my food it was super good, my man was a little disappointed they don't deep fry the whole tempura roll, but it was still great and a lovely atmosphere.

First thing I tried was the miso soup which should have been a dead giveaway that I should go elsewhere but I was optimistic. Next the sushi came out and it looked so depressing. The colors were meh and the taste was so bland it made me wonder if I had COVID (unfortunately I did not). The only decent item we tried was their baked mussels. The service was good and everyone was super nice but it does not make up for the mediocre, at best, food we had.

I brought my sister in law here when she came to visit us in Albuquerque. This is my favorite place to eat in this city. When I really want to splurge, I eat sushi, because this place is the only place I know this far inland to get really fresh and well prepared sushi. When I am not splurging I get the crispy eggplant, which is so good, and more affordable. On this trip we did a little of both.

I like to support this place as my neighbor restaurant, but this sushi roll is shameful. This is their $15 signature 3 amigos roll. And look at the paper thin, dry snapper. This is grocery store value/quality

Such a wonderful, friendly, attentive waitress to a party of 8. The food was delicious -i recommend the curry. Everyone in my table was happily satisfied with their dishes. Will come back. Enjoyed the vibe and decor 🙂

We tried Pacific Paradise on a weekday evening. We were sat quickly and were greeted by our server, who was friendly. There’s both booth and table seating, all of which is indoors. There are menus for non-sushi items, then a 8.5x11” paper menu for sushi which the diner can mark with a pencil. We each got a small cup of soup: the miso and a chicken and corn egg-drop. Both were bland and uninteresting; we’ve had better elsewhere. I’d give them a 2/5. The Japanese steamed dumplings were good; we both decided we’d get them again if we returned. I’d give them a 4/5. I wanted the coconut fried rice, but the coconut is the pre-shredded, dried, and bagged kind instead of fresh and seared, so I opted for the pineapple fried rice instead. It had a good savory-sweet flavor to it, and both the tofu (you can order whichever protein you want) and pineapple were finely chopped, which I enjoyed. I haven’t run across that in a Thai fried rice before, and I’ve had a lot of those dishes. I added raisins to the entree because otherwise the contents would have been pretty paltry with just eggs and the protein. I would have liked to have seen green onions, onions, cashews - anything - added to the mix. The flavor and serving size was a 4/5. My dining companion got the crispy Hawaiian chicken and said he would not get it again. We both agreed it was bland. He gave it a 2/5. Our server said anything on the menu can be made bespoke, and adding raisins to my dish was no issue. Some restaurants take umbrage at modified orders, but Pacific Paradise is fine with it. Overall I’d give the restaurant a 3/5. The soup was bland, but my entree was flavorful, if lacking multiple ingredients. I’d give Pacific Paradise another try, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

We have driven by Pacific Paradise hundreds of times, but never went in. So when a friend wanted to meet us there, we readily agreed. How have we missed this wonderful restaurant all these years? We loved it and returned within a week. Their food is delicious and their menu goes on and on, with dishes from a wide variety of Asian countries...oh, and Hawaii. Plus they have an excellent sushi bar. (The Pacific Paradise Roll is amazing.) We need to go back many times just to try all the dishes that called to us. But it's going to be hard not to order the crispy eggplant every time. We ordered this just because it sounded good and it was a huge hit. Disks of deep fried eggplant in the most delicious, addictive glaze! If you go here, you MUST order this dish (you must, you must). Also, the rice pizza is amazing...either the seafood or the drunken versions. Sounds weird and it's hard to describe, but trust us, it's delicious. Photos are the crispy eggplant (after almost half was eaten) and softshell crab and vegetable tempura. Go on line and look at their menu, but leave yourself lots of time because it's like reading War and Peace. Lots of food! Not a lot of bucks! (The price we paid per person included apps, sushi, and sake.) Heartily recommend!

What can I say about this place that hasn't been said before, It's clean the staff is always friendly and best of all in Albuquerque It actually stays open late. It's pretty sad when Albuquerque is growing so much as a city and all these restaurants keep closing down earlier and earlier or they aren't open 7 days a week. But this restaurant is and offers a very good variety of delightful dishes. I usually order one of their very tasty noodle dishes. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a good Asian food restaurant.

Delicious dragon-shaped eel sushi and mango sticky rice! Great atmosphere, kind staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Friendly people. Great atmosphere tasty food. Especially loved there shrimp tempura and fried eggplant to get started. Yellow tail sushi was by far my favorite from sushi order. If you are around San Pedro and Candelaria I highly recommend you stop in and treat yourself.

I have only eaten there once, but it was a really good experience. The name may be deceiving, because their business is on their door, but it says something different in the red letters above the store. ANYWAYS, I had the Pad Thai with beef, and it was possibly the best plate of Asian food I have ever eaten in my life! I definitely recommend! Plus, the staff was friendly and on top of it as well.

I wanted to love this restaurant but I just liked it. The portions are very small. Luckily we had sushi toward the end of the meal which filled us up. Half of the rolls were very bland despite all the sauces and soy sauce. The interior feels nostalgic though it's dated. The service was very good though despite the sushi taking forever.

I'll just say I've been coming here for the past 9 years, maybe longer. I have always come away satisfied. Like a little comfy bit of fun with great food and friendly servers. Good sushi, especially the monkey balls, fried mushrooms stuffed with salmon in a tar tar type cut, with a tangy slightly spicy sauce. Plus my favourite orange deep fried dish from any Asian restaurant, Orange Delight. The happy hour is even today very fairly priced, with good choices, and probably favourite time to go. I always come away feeling good, and it's hard not to chuckle at the tacky island decor, but that is part of the charm. I hope they manage to make it through this rough time, as I really enjoy coming here.

Excellent sushi, skills are masterful and delicious.! Tried the rice pizza, delicious and interesting concept! Also tried the garlic sunset, very good but hardly any garlic to my taste, comes with soup, steamed vegetables and jasmine rice all perfectly balanced! Ask ahead of time for gluten free option, they're able to accommodate if asked before ordering! Definitely will be returning again.

Always have a great experience here! My favorite spot for sushi! Absolutely love their mango sticky rice for something sweet! If your looking for an awesome experience get their fire roll! Super delicious and is served on a plate of fire great for Instagram post! I've been going here since I was high school! Almost always have Ryan as our server! He's amazing and very kind, all their staff is!

The sushi is supper fresh and the staff are on spot at this location. We were seated immediately and it was a little busy. The staff were short handed but they did good. The Hawaiian crunch plate was so good! And the atmosphere was cool and comfortable. Come eat and smile with the staff
