“ I was really surprised by my visit to Pacifica. When I first arrived here, I sat at the bar waiting for my friends to arrive and had therefore spent my time pre-judging the restaurant on its decor alone. To me the clean lines, white leather upholstery and blue lighting made it feel cold and sterile, almost intimidating. Yet after a couple of Stolichnaya Vanil and Tonic cocktails served by a very friendly bartender, somehow the colour scheme felt calming and tranquil. Funny that. Once I was sat down, it only got better. This Cantonese restaurant and Dim Sum bar offers high quality cuisine and great service. We started off with a mixed plate of dim sum and a couple of steamed char siu bao (sweet buns filled with barbecue pork, and a personal favourite of mine) to share, which were practically inhaled by my table in seconds. For my main I ordered Pacifica sirloin steak, a twist on a regular sirloin as it's prepared in the wok with onions, straw mushrooms and oyster sauce. The meat was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested and for £12 was a healthy size and premium quality. Absolutely no complaints. My friend ordered the hot and spicy Sichuan mussels which were the talk of the table: served with crushed ginger, garlic and chilli sauce, they had some kick to them. Somehow, with cocktails and wine included, our bill came to less than £30 a head. You didn't see any of us complaining, it could have been twice the price and we'd still have been happy! ”
“ This place opened relatively recently (I think it used to be a different Chinese) and has stiff competition as it is next to the Eccles institution that is Smith's bistro. But I have to say that it did itself proud. The food was excellent - better than several restaurants I've been to in Chinatown recently (including the Little Yang Sing). A very well thought out banquet menu with great dim sum, lovely crispy duck, and a fantastic choice of mains. Really tasty food that just didn't stop arriving at the table! It was very good value for money, and all served in a very stylish setting. The only downsides were that it was a bit quiet and lacked atmosphere (but it was a Tuesday night, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt), and generally it was a bit cold (A TV fire will not do - please turn the heating on, it's winter!!) But it's definitely worth a try. ”
