Sekisui Pacific Rim"I don't feel like I'm in Memphis anymore" is a comment often heard by customers once they have set foot in this east Memphis restaurant. With an ultra contemporary approach, Sekisui Pacific Rim stands out among the restaurants lining Poplar Avenue. The sushi is just as good as that of its sister Sekisui's spread across the city but a number of elements make SPR distinctly different.SPR was one of the first restaurants in Memphis to offer fusion style pacific-rim cuisine. Borrowing recipes and ingredient from the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean, the cuisine is highly original. Menu highlights include Braised Sea Bass in shiitake-soy broth and Roasted Duck Breast in kiwi/red Thai curry reduction. There's also a tapas menu with artfully prepared smaller portions, perfect for late night dining.SPR is a late night hot spot, serving until midnight on weekdays and until 1:00 a.m. on the weekends. On select nights the high energy atmosphere is fueled by Memphis' best local deejays.

At Jimmy Ishii's wildly successful Sekisui restaurants, sushi chefs don't just push the envelope; they put the envelope through the paper shredder. Chefs are encouraged to show off their creativity and listen to customer's ideas; creating sushi rolls that can't be found anywhere else. Also, purists will be delighted with the exhaustive lineup of nigiri sushi - perfectly sliced fish atop a mound of rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar and a touch of sake. The restaurant's fresh fish is flown in several times a week from locations such as Hawaii, Louisiana, and Los Angeles. There's something to please everyone. The extensive menu covers lots of familiar Japanese cuisine territory with teriyaki, tempura and udon noodles.
