Expensive Thai food, with some elements below par, and others were great. We ordered a delivery - with King Prawn Pas Thai, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Massaman - the Pad Thai was quite dry, and lacked a little flavour - I’ve had much better than this - and I think that The Pacific could improve this dish a lot..! And they should put more effort in - as Pad Thai is THE most popular Thai food on the menu. It’s below par here. That said, the Massaman was outstanding. Truly delicious - and as such, I would definitely order that again. It was really the best I’ve had. Rice was ok, Chicken Stay was nice - could do with a bigger serving of Satay sauce however. The order was booked and paid for several hours in advance, via their website - the order asked what time we’d like delivery for, and while we did specify a time, the delivery was at least 10 minutes late. I think if you’re going to ask what time your clients want their food, you need to make absolutely certain that it arrives on-time. Otherwise you give an approximation. So we were a little disappointed overall - expensive, late delivery, poor pad Thai.

An amazing venue for a fantastic occasion .Jo and all the team pulled out all the stops to make this a night to remember. The food was amazing and plentiful, the venue was decorated exactly as requested. The staff were all so on point and nothing was to much trouble. We can all highly recommend The Pacific for a special event venue or even a night out for a few drinks and a meal , support local businesses like this . Thanks again for everything all at The Pacific .

One word - Outstanding! From the moment we walked through the door we were welcomed with cheery, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely and relaxing decor, and a really nice vibe and buzz. The menu is very impressive and comprehensive, and Kirsty our fantastic server was amazing at offering advice on the menu and went above and beyond throughout the evening. As for the food - we were absolutely blown away by the quality and attention to detail. The staff were always on hand if our glasses needed re-charging and nothing was too much trouble. All topped off by a great vocal / guitarist which the whole restaurant enjoyed. To sum up, great staff, great food, and our new local go to for a fantastic night out.

I was looking for somewhere a little different to take my wife for our anniversary. My first choices were unavailable and I fancied something Asian. The Pacific's reviews are mixed, particularly in relation to the time spent waiting for food to arrive, but I thought why not give it a whirl. Very pleased we did. The staff are amazing. Attentive, but not in that over-the-top way that can get tedious, friendly and knowledgeable. Yes, the restaurant is s bit 'spaced out', in the sense that clearly they could fit a lot more tables in and it feels a little empty, but that gives it a charm as it obviously isn't trying to cram people in. It feels genuine. So... the food. On the waiting time. Yes, you do wait a little longer than in other faster turnaround places. But we are not there to gobble our food down and dash off, are we? We are there for the experience, the opportunity to relax, to down phones and chat. Personally, I did not mind waiting a few minutes longer for service because I was enjoying the evening. If you want your food pre-cooked, warmed up and on your table within minutes of ordering, don't come here. If you want your food obviously freshly cooked, carefully prepared and rather delicious, give it a go. I don't think you will be disappointed. The two of us shared three starters: chicken satay, tempura vegetables and calamari. All prepared and cooked perfectly. I am a bit fussy with squid, having experienced it cooked by some of the very best, and this was right up there. The tempura vegetables were the standout dish. As fresh and crisp as if just picked, lightly battered and delicately fried. Very, very good. On to the mains, which we probably waited 20/25 mins for. But we had another drink. Listened to the female singer get the music just about right, and remembered we were there for us and to chat. I'd say it was the perfect wait... for the perfect food. My wife had the Choo-Che, sea bass deep fried and served with a creamy red curry sauce and coconut milk, crisp vegetables and jasmine rice. It was quite the plateful and delicious. I went for the intriguingly titled Weeping Tiger, a sliced sirloin steak on a bed of the crispest vegetables with a hot and spicy chilli sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection, medium-rare, before being sliced. Taken as it was, it was tasty enough, but smothered in the chilli sauce it was to die for. We finished with coffee. My wife went for an Irish coffee, which can always be a bit hit-and-miss. Fair play, it was spot on. We were very pleased we went and we will go back. It wasn't particularly busy for 7 - 9PM on a Friday (though it was the Easter Bank Holiday), maybe less than a third full. But the atmosphere was just right.

So disappointing. Staf nice, starters and desert very nice, but the warmed buffet was awful, especially the chicken which must have been warmed up so many times it was inedible, no taste and like pieces if stick. Curries were just a lot of liquid with bits of meat in the bottom if you could find them. I didn't complain at the time as I didn't want to upset the family.

Very expensive NYE meal. No idea it was £70 per head as not mentioned during hooking. Had impression it was the normal menu. For £156 or 2 of us we shared a started we didn't choose, I had a noodle dish and my husband had a curry, then a piece of cheesecake each. Only about 25 in whole restaurant. On 2 people danced a couple of times to a singer who did sing well, but not atmosphere at all. Cheap glass off bubbly before we left. More expensive that a meal in a restaurant on Christmas Day and not nearly as much. Very disappointing

Two hours to get our meal, starter took half an hour, main another hour and a half. Kept asking for progress, when it finally arrived, it was pretty average. The place only had 26 customers (we had plenty of time to count), what would it be like if it was packed. Never going back.

Nice restaurant with live music..great until waiter told him to turn it up making it hard to have a conversation. Food was middle of the road..cant say it was the best then again not the worst. Quite expensive, but not overly. Would i go again..no. staff were nice and attentative. Nice decor but a bit sparse and open in the dining area, not the place for a romantic dinner.Luxury pricing for mediocre food and seating. Did not find the food that authentic.

Poor Sunday buffet. The starter was pretty much batter surprise .. very greasy and tasteless and you couldn't tell what was what. Spring rolls did not look freshly made.The second part was very stodgy rice, chicken textured lemons and 3 curry's which were also very tasteless . In a last ditch attempt we tried the egg noodles and can safely say were disappointing . The staff were friendly and helpful and the setting and ambient is great . But we won't be back and certainly opt for the Indian restaurant opposite next time . I don't agree with the automatic service charge either this should be optional and based on the experience.

What a lovely visit to The Pacific. We had the Sunday buffet , with freshly cooked starter options brought directly to the table . A good variety, without being overwhelming from the main buffet & friendly service throughout. Will definitely go again! Certainly nice to have Thai food on a Sunday, rather than always a roast dinner. The staff made my parent's 40th wedding anniversary lunch, extra special. MANY THANKS

Quite a nice looking restaurant. The food was I would say… pleasant enough but a bit bland. Not that much flavour going on. The service was also a little sketchy. We were a table of 13 but even so, the mains did not all come out at exactly the same time. There was at least a 5-10 minute gap between the first few people getting their course and the last person. While I was looking round to see whether the last few plates were coming over, the same people who had brought out the first plates were serving other tables and taking orders in between. Bizarre. Overall, average but definitely not good enough for me to want to go back.

We stopped here on a Saturday night on the off-chance after seeing their A board outside advertising their Greek night. They had sold out of a few dishes already, so the Greek menu is obviously popular. We both really enjoyed our food and drink, and it was great to find somewhere that serves something different to standard pub grub.

Extremely disappointed with this bar / restaurant. They are advertising on their website and on a large blackboard behind the bar that they have a daily Happy Hour for cocktail. Upon arrival and asking for a cocktail the bar manager without any sense of apology informed us that they were not doing Happy Hours or had cocktails. Strange when the bar was fully stocked with every spirit possible. Their prices were on the high side for drinks, the bar had zero atmosphere and unfriendly staff. Do not waste your time driving or walking to the ends of Hayling Island. Without doubt misrepresenting what they sell and their services.
