“My son and I came to Paku Paku for the first time today, and it was a magnificent experience! My 11 year old son, who absolutles LOVES exploring new mother/son sushi adventures, said "The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was amazing. 10/10, down to the scent of soap they chose in the restraunt." We happened upon this location driving through the area, and we now have this location pin'd to come again because we were so impressed. The food looked so good, we forgot to take pictures before digging in, but you can see how well prepared everything was. We ordered the sushi platter that came with sushimi, seaweed salad and it came with miso soup.”
“Paku Paku is a gem! We went for an impromptu date night and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the chef made incredible rolls! The quality and creativity are unmatched! AND byob? amazing! We are so lucky to live right next door, can’t wait to go back!”
“Amazing service , prices , and quality of fish. Found this place at random as we were driving by and happy for the spontaneous lunch date. Fish was fresh and the rice wasn’t too hard or sticky. Rice to fish ratio was perfect which is also important for us! Will be back”
“The service was super quick and friendly, and the food quality was exceptional. We had 2 appetizers, 4 maki rolls and 2 signature rolls total and they were all amazing. I highly recommend the spicy green dragon roll and volcano roll. Also worth noting that it’s BYOB and they provided us with wine glasses.”
“Best sushi restaurant in the neighborhood! I ordered various sushi rolls for a birthday party — every roll was perfect, fresh, and the prices were great. I’ll definitely be back for sure!”
“Fantastic local place. Quality far above price. Would love to come back!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! The sushi was incredibly delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back. Without a doubt, one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever tried. Highly recommended. My favorite Mango tango tropical. The mango adds the perfect touch. So refreshing and delicious. The green dragon it's Amazing the cilantro adds a zesty, aromatic. Every sushi roll I had was a whole experience. The server was kind and friendly. Me gusto mucho y recomiendo el lugar. Debí tomar más fotos.”
“My new favorite sushi place! Fresh, friendly, and excellent quality. Highly recommend the chef’s choice combo plate which included some really generous sashimi cuts. Takoyaki was also top notch.”
