Great selection of seafood. The octopus appetizer was yummy and large. They give you San Francisco style sourdough bread with your meal. All reasonable priced versus the price gauging restaurant options. The service was top ranked. We will be back soon.

What a wonderful hidden gem! My husband and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary here yesterday, and I was so impressed that I returned today with my niece. The service was exceptional. Bao, our waiter, and the host were both attentive and warm, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The two chefs behind the counter demonstrated impressive skill and talent as they prepared each dish. As someone who has dined at several omakase restaurants in New York City and Japan, I can confidently say this place did not disappoint. The carpaccio and chawanmushi (egg custard) were some of my favorites. Must orders are the snow crab and soft-shelled crab hand rolls. Although I typically refrain from posting reviews to keep hidden gems like this one to myself, the genuine hospitality and outstanding experience made me change my mind and we will be returning!

Our family wasn’t available for Christmas dinner at home this year, so the two of us went off on an adventure & found Pacific Hideaway. Everything was great - the modern ambience, the pleasant service, & delicious food! We left happy & content! Hope to return again soon!👍👍👍👍
