Pacific Rim Sushi & Yakitori Lounge which is Austin’s only yakitori and Japanese sports bar is now open. The expansive restaurant has yakitori table service, a sushi bar, a comfortable lounge are and full bar. The restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy lunch, happy hour, dinner and watch sports. The best nights are Saturday for lively karaoke and Thursday when the lounge showcases live jazz.
Pacific Rim has an extensive menu featuring fresh sushi & sashimi, yakitori, delicious tapas, Japanese entrees and enticing desserts.
Don’t miss out on the delectable rolls, sushi and sashimi offerings at Pacific Rim. Our recommendation is the yuzu salmon with delicate cuts of fresh salmon paired beautifully with refreshing citrus flavors.
The yakitori is a customer favorite at Pacific Rim. Our top yakitori picks are the rich pork belly, tantalizing bacon-wrapped shrimp & scallops, mouth-watering salmon and fresh vegetables skewers.
Both the chilled Gulf oysters and the kani fried Gulf oysters are phenomenal. The kani fried oysters are lightly fried in Japanese tempura and topped with tempura kani.
Co-owner Benny Leung shared a few exiting new menu items with us to include a variety of comforting dim sum dumplings and the slow cooked short ribs. Both the delightful shrimp and the savory opened-faced pork dumplings are incredibly addicting. The slow cooked ribs are marinated in Korean BBQ sauce and smoked seasoning.
The full bar includes an extensive wine list, a nice lineup of beers, fine sake and refreshing Polynesian cocktails. The daily happy hour is from 3 p.m. to closing on Monday through Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to closing. Happy hour includes $2 off cocktails & wine, $1 off beer & sake and a sizable happy hour food menu.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
