    My sister and I were celebrating her birthday as well as attending an event the day so we were making a trip out of it and staying the night at the Pan Pacific as well. Our server Lenny was very gracious, professional and provided us with what I felt was a luxury level of service. As a surprise, he gave us a little starter of tuna (I think) ceviche to mark our "sister's night out" which was delicious! For our starters, we ordered the Calamari in Tempura Batter which was so tasty and crispy. ALL calamari should be made with tempura batter! My sister ordered the Ebi Fritters which we both ended up loving for the crispiness, serving size and taste! I ate the tails too! I ordered the Mackarel and Salmon Oshi which I have had many times before and it NEVER disappoints! OMG, it was just as delicious as I was expecting! My sister ordered the Miku Roll which she also loved. I will definitely dine here again! Thank you to Miku and Lenny for a great night!
