"I hate to give this 4/2022 negative review but it's necessary please read it. This is a restaurant in serious trouble, if you read other reviews you can see the themes. First, they are horribly understaffed, and everyone was waiting at least an hour forfood. They have one chef and one service employee working a peak Saturday night shift and they simply cannot keep up with theavalanche of both diners and take out orders. The server was working so hard, I felt bad for her. But one server cannot takeorders, take takeout orders, pack takeout, serve diners, do checks, seat patrons, heat tea, etc. for 15 patrons. Not possible.The restaurant was filled with patrons circling like hungry vultures, waiting an hour plus for 6 pieces of sushi. Everyone EVERYONE was angry, anxious and waiting. Some people had to wait 30 minutes for their check. Second, their menu is out ofdate. It has a sticky note that says things may be 1 2 dollars more. One of our special rolls was advertised at $15, but billedat $19. So it's a guessing game what anything costs because the menu is irrelevant. This is utterly unacceptable. Third, thesushi is simply bad, no way around it. Likely because they are so overwhelmed it sits out on the shelf waiting to be picked uponce prepared and has a chance to get too warm. The sushi was inferior to supermarket sushi, and both my wife and I woke up thenext day with very upset stomachs. We should have gotten Shoprite sushi. The ingredients were poor. The fish was obviously old,the rolls were constructed carelessly, and it made us slightly sick. All in all, the picture we got was of a failing restaurantthat is in serious trouble, and headed for disaster fast. They can't keep up with takeout orders, they can't keep up withdiners, and the quality of their sushi is horrendous. They were working hard, but they need more help and better ingredients. Bygetting more help, they could focus on their food. I wish them the best of luck and hope they succee"

"We have been customers of Pacific Thai for six years and have always enjoyed the food. Since COVID, the prices have gone up, which is understandable, but then they started tacking on an arbitrary service fee for takeout, which they have posted on a sign by the register is a minimum of 5 . I ordered dinner for our family of five for my daughter's birthday and asked for a total over the phone. I was told the total was $271. I almost choked on that total, but accepted it and came prepared to pay that total plus a tip. When I arrived to pick up my order and the woman rang me up, she informed me that they had already added a 20% service fee, which added $50 to my total. If we were having dine in as a family of five, we would not have qualified as a large enough group for an automatic tip. I was outraged that the total was now $321. When we eat at The Shadowbrook, where we have multiple appetizers and wine with dinner, we come out around $200 for the five of us. $321 for a family of five was INSANE. I did not want to make a scene in front of my daughter because it was her birthday, so I did not say anything. When we left, however, my daughter and her boyfriend were horrified that the tab was so high and that they had just added on the 20% without warning. They then told me that they had stopped going to Pacific Thai for this reason. A boba tea and an order of spring rolls would put them over $20 with the arbitrary take out fee sometimes being 15% for a very small order. We will not be going back."
