After starting on Coventry Rd. and expanding to Woodmere and Kent, Pacific East has finally turned west.
The restaurant’s fourth location and its first on the other side of the Cuyahoga is now open at Crocker Park next to Nordstrom Rack.
There’s no sushi at the new spot, but the menu offers a roster of hibachi options for both lunch and dinner, as well as Japanese-inspired sandwiches, noodle bowls and more.
Pacific East is currently open for takeout and will open along with other restaurants for dine-in service this Thursday.

I checked the menu and… wow that looks really bad. No sushi? And no Japanese food aside from Hibachi and Ramen? Sandwiches?
It’s a shame they’re lowering the quality and effort as they expand because the Coventry location is a pretty good sushi spot, and the west side needs another good sushi spot than Ginko.
