Adventurous palates in the King of Prussia area agree that one of the best places in town to get Chinese or Japanese food is Blue Pacific. Located in the sprawling King of Prussia Mall, this classy casual restaurant has tons of seating and an extensive menu. The sushi is all exceptionally fresh and prepared with real skill and delicacy. Some favorites on the list of rolls include the Blue Pacific roll, made with scallop, crab stick, spicy mayonnaise and salmon roe, as well as the Dancing Dragon roll, a savory mashup of spicy tuna, crab, tempura flakes wrapped with eel and avocado. The nigiri is equally tasty. Chinese food is also well-represented, with the crab rangoons winning raves from frequent diners. For entrees, go for the General Tso’s chicken, which captures the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, or the tamarind shrimp. Prices are fair and service is quick and attentive.
