Best Pacific Rim Restaurant Cary Near Me

Marina Mochkina: One word: overrated. The ambience is very pretentious along with ridiculously overpriced food. Don’t mind paying top dollar but not if the food is average and waiters have an attitude. Won’t be back, to say the least.

Michael J. Reilly III: Absolute perfection. We had Oscar as our server. He was so nice and was very spot on. As was the bus boy , he asked and was genuinely concerned about our experience there as well. Both were very engaging.The Lobster Roll app and the Wagu beef skillet were delicious. The pork meatball/ noodle bowl & the surf & and turf plate were sublime. My filet I could cut w my fork, melted in my mouth. Cocktails were nice, and the overall vibe made for an incredible birthday celebration. Certainly returning.

Shinya A: The dinner we had here was delicious. The menu can be pricey but I do believe you are getting what you pay for. Their dessert selection is good. This is not a place to bring children because it is a more of a fine dining and business class feel restaurant. It has a romantic ambiance of dim lighting and decor. I highly recommend this place for a birthday, celebration, anniversary, or date night.

Vitaliy Levit: I'm rather flabbergasted to find MC Modern boasting such a high rating among food enthusiasts. My recent visit, an occasion to celebrate my mother's special day, left me with a bitter taste - metaphorically, of course. The cuisine, hospitality, and general atmosphere left much to be desired.My family and I made an early entrance just as the doors opened, and despite the vacant dining area, our server took an alarmingly lengthy time to acknowledge our presence. His demeanor lacked the cheer one would expect from a person in his profession.Our interactions with him were unfortunately characterized by us beckoning for his attention to accommodate our most basic requests - be it placing our orders for starters, drinks, clearing our table, refilling our water glasses, or even providing new chopsticks after he mistakenly cleared away the ones we were using.Our server's knowledge regarding the restaurant's sake offerings was equally disappointing - he was unaware and unable to articulate the available options. His lack of attention was all the more puzzling given our table was one of the few he had to attend to.Then arrived the food, and I must admit, I was taken aback.The Caesar salad was laced with wasabi, a combination that unfortunately did not appeal to our palates. Additionally, its presentation was unappetizing - a massive slab that required further cutting. This, combined with poor dressing, compromised the salad's flavor profile.The edamame, although consumable, was overcooked, falling short of the standard you'd expect from a grocery store like Trader Joe's.The coconut shrimp dish, though aesthetically pleasing at first sight, was a letdown as we discovered that the actual shrimp were minuscule, engulfed in a thick layer of undercooked tempura batter and doused in an overpoweringly spicy sauce.The wagyu sushi was, in a word, uninspiring. Overcooked and devoid of flavor, it bore no resemblance to the wagyu we're accustomed to.Their Otoro tuna belly, which boasts being the priciest sushi on the menu, was the biggest letdown. Sliced incorrectly, this normally tender cut was chewy and hard, with a considerable piece of tough fat still attached.Our Chirashi dish was conspicuously absent until our forgetful waiter was reminded of its omission. When it did arrive, the presentation was disappointing. It seemed hastily assembled - scraps of fish strewn atop the rice, missing the essence of what a Chirashi should be. However, it was the taste that truly left a bitter impression - the fish tasted distressingly stale, akin to being left out for days.I had to send it back to the kitchen, after which a person who appeared to be a front-of-house manager approached, offering me an alternative without a word of apology or even making eye contact.For MC Modern to be considered for a future visit, a significant overhaul is necessary, both in the culinary team and the front-of-house management. As it stands, I feel compelled to dissuade potential patrons from visiting until necessary improvements are made.

Shannon Stiles: Went for a solo dinner and had a wonderful experience. Great atmosphere and vibe in a renovated historic home in downtown Cary. Service and management are excellent, pleasant, and attentive without being intrusive. Oscar was amazing! The Ceasar Salad was delicious, the Wasabi-based dressing had the right amount of kick to not make it overpowering. I had the Beaufort Swordfish and Shrimp which was cooked to perfection. Don't skip dessert, the Molten Chocolate Cake was epic. Everything on the menu is locally sourced and the menu changes every Thursday. I would recommend making a reservation as they have limited seating. This hidden gem is a must if you're a local or in town for business!

Justin Monroe: Mc Restaurant was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. Menu changes based on locally sourced food. The Beaufort swordfish and shrimp was cooked to perfection. The almondine sauce was a perfect compliment to the swordfish. The Caesar with Wasabi dressing had just enough kick to make it a great starter. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area.

Jeff B: Recently went here expecting a great dinner and service. We had several items and only one was great. The others were fair. The service was lacking and disappointing for the cost of dinner.

DrwedThinks: The place looks nice and the service were good, however when comes to the food is not what I expect. I expected good food because their food are expensive, however their food are not good at all. I ordered saigon noodles, Ravioli, and crab cake the food feels like they are bought or cotsco from Walmart, I expect something better for the price. At least the sushi was ok. I am not coming back.

Taeyoung Kim: I moved to North Carolina today. I visited this restaurant to have a pleasant dinner with my family. I ordered kimchi fried rice, soft tofu stew, and udon. I was worried that people might think that Korean food is not good because it is very bad. Kimchi fried rice was the worst. Udon tastes worse than buying freshly bought udon from Nongshim sold at Costco and eating it at home. Soft tofu stew is quite delicious. I want to talk to people who want to visit here. Just order soft tofu stew.

Michael C: The food was great. The katsu, wraps, and sushi were quality. The waitress could've been more attentive, though. Tried to get more napkins, but she was never to be seen.

Eric Kang: I get take out here b/c their bokembop with chicken is my favorite. The portion is kind of small, so I get an appetizer. I recommend the bulgoki fries.

Kevin Koines: I used to enjoy this place but their quality of food and service has been degraded a lot. I don’t know if there is change of ownership though. Katsu is not what I used to get here. It’s not crispy a but very hard to chew and fry was awful. They didnt even get our food out. That’s was definitely not a great dinner experience we were expecting.

Lan Nguyen: Galbi was good but the quality the beef bolgogi didn't match the price. I don't mind paying high $ for quality meat but this was below par. Texture tasted like it was marinated then frozen and then served at a later date so the texture of the beef was degraded. Either that or they marinated it in meat tenderizer which alters the typical texture of the beef. For $62 (dinner for 2 ), we got 1.5 lbs of meat, rice, lettuce & maybe 4 small kimchi side dishes. We could have gone to all u can eat korean bbq for similar price ($35/pp) which includes appetizers as well as at least 8-10 different kimchi side dishes.Also, 3 chicken wings for $7.50. Seem pricey for separate wings ( 1flat & 2 "drum stick"wings) not entire large wings that have not been cut in half.

Jon Pugeda: Don’t know why it took me so long to try this place out but I’m sure glad I finally made it. The Seared Tuna roll was prepared well and tasted great. Was nice they served fresh ginger with it. The Bulgogi Bibimbap was not prepared the way I’m accustomed to but was still really good! The vibe inside is typical of a mom and pop Asian restaurant but still nice. The service was excellent with both server teaming up together and checking on us to make sure everything was going well. Definitely am going to come back to try other items in their menu.

Abi Turner (Buzbuz9): We got chicken katsu and bulgolgi beef bibimbop. Both were really yummy. This place is a bit more expensive than some other we frequently but the food was well worth it in my mind. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for some Korean food. The restaurant seemed fairly nice and well put together. We got takeout so weren't there for long though. It was a little on the smaller side but plently of tables if you did want to eat there.

We got crab rangoons 8/10, beef and broccoli 7/10, hibachi chicken 8/10, and beef udon 7/10. Overall a pleasant experience and we will come again :)Update: We come here all the time. It is one of our fav restaurants in the area. Thry have great food and sushi. Never had a bad dish here. My fav is the Mongolian beef and my friends love their habachi.

Britt Miller: I got take out and it was very quick. However I asked for teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce but they gave me soy. The rolls were okay but nothing special. Was very average.Vegetarian options: I got the sweet potato and tofu roll

Aboli Patil: I wouldn't recommend this place in Cary to anyone who wants to be treated with some basic decency. My friend and I had a really bad experience there. The server who waited on us was a total jerk. She didn't even bother to talk to us politely and just threw the menu on the table. My friend and I were so put off by the server's attitude that we decided to leave the restaurant without ordering any food. I definitely won't be going back there again.

Not necessarily a cheap meal we spent just over $30 per person. Food was really good. We tried two apps - dumplings and crab puffs. Both were yummy but come with just 5 of each.
