100000% recommend this spot!! We got fish tacos and the guaca-poke and a bowl. It was alll so fresh and great quality. I'm not a big fan of fish but you would definitely catch me eating fish here lol my favorite part was the service. Our server Bri was amazing. Her smile was contagious and she was on top of our order (we ordered our tacos with a replacement and she caught on before we even noticed our request was missing) Super sweet customer service and fresh food. Definitely going to make this a usual spot when we come out to the area! read more

Totally agree with Gene H's review on the recent menu changes. I am a regular here and called it my happy place, but the recent menu changes have me looking for another happy place. Like Gene, the serrano ahi poke bowl with wontons was the "go to" for every visit. Another fan favorite was the guac-poke with wontons. Well, wontons were removed from the menu altogether, and the serving size of the ahi is half of what it used to be. Not sure if this was a local decision or corporate decision, but it was a bad one! Second faux pas on the new menu is the removal of black beans with the taco plate. Now your options are fries or a salad. Who orders fries or salad with tacos? Black beans are so cheap. Even if you charge $1 for them, you're making money. Doesn't make sense to remove them. Oh, and the 3 taco plate is no longer an option. You can only get 2 tacos now. Third questionable decision ... eliminating the miso salad. The bartender told me that the house salad on the menu is the same as the miso salad. They mean the same thing. When the runner delivered what I thought was the miso salad, it looked different. So I asked her if this was the miso salad. She said no, that is no longer on the menu. So .... ya. Another big change for me was the removal of my favorite wine, the chenin blanc. The other whites are subpar IMO and not worth the drive over there ... especially with all these really poor menu changes. So now you know why I'm looking for a new happy place. If you know of any open air, fresh fish places, please DM me. Thanks! P.S. I went back and forth between giving 2 stars and 3 stars. The employees here are really exceptional. And I didn't think it was fair to give the whole restaurant 2 stars because their culinary executive is absolutely clueless. read more

Pacific Catch did not disappoint! We landed one of the coveted outdoor dining tables for lunch, and the whole afternoon had the perfect Aloha Friday vibe. We started with a pitcher of Mai Tais, which were definitely a little boozy in the best way -- and somehow lasted the entire length of our casual two-hour lunch. Our server, Erin, was extraordinary. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. My table guest and I split everything, which was the perfect call. The guaca-poke was so yummy and a great start. Then we shared the two-taco platter with sea bass and steak, plus a side house salad. Full flavor, fresh, and the perfect size to split without feeling too heavy. And because we clearly make excellent lunch decisions, we finished with a one of a kind dulce leche spring roll . Worth it. Will I come back? Yup. Pacific Catch continues to be a solid go-to. read more

This place has great affordable seafood! Great choice if you're going with a group that wants variety as they have American, Asian, and Mexican flare to their dishes. The portions are also on the bigger side for a seafood restaurant which was a nice surprise. Large drink menu, and the mixed drinks were on the stronger side. It's a large, open restaurant which easily sat my group of 9. Loved the chill, Hawaiian-esque vibes. And the servers were all very nice. Overall a great experience! read more

Pacific Catch - Verlasso Salmon with kimchi fried rice and Thai Brussels - Seafood Near Me - Tustin, California

I had an enjoyable dinner tonight at Pacific Catch. Coconut Shrimp which was one of my favorite appetizers, was taken off the menu to my chagrin. Ava, my wonderful server recommended Summer Sea Bass with Okinawan Purple Potatoes and Mango-Avocado Salad. It was delightful and balanced flavors. Pretty on the plate! The Piña Colada was delicious after they remade it and you could taste the coconut cream and dream of Maui. Nice staff, clean restaurant, great food. Thank you! read more

All the food was delicious! For a Sunday evening, we were seated right away upon entering. The interior is lovely, think boho style with lots of plants, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. I was pleasantly surprised to see they offer happy hour on weekends. We arrived just in time and ordered mostly from the HH menu. My favorite was the original poke, which was served with seaweed salad, radish, and edamame. The Serrano poke wasn't very spicy and lacked flavor, but adding soy sauce made it much better. Both the cod and shrimp tacos were delicious. I also had the Mai Tai cocktail, which was very strong. We ended dinner with the butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream. Everything was fresh and flavorful. read more

I came here with friends on a nice hot and sunny day to enjoy the aloha hour. As we sat down, I kept feeling heat coming from somewhere. I eventually figured out that the heat lamps were on. I had to ask the staff 3 times to turn it off before it was finally off. Honestly, I'm not sure why the heat lamps were on in the summer to begin with. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, shrimp tempura roll, fish taco and sticky ribs. The fish taco was substantial but was mostly batter and it came with a side of chips. My friend enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll. The Brussels sprouts and ribs were a pleasant surprise. The ribs were more tender than I expected. The best dish of the evening in my opinion was the ribs. The parking is very easy as it is located in a large strip mall. It wasn't too busy so you could easily have a conversation with the person across from you. read more

Visited here during Father's Day. The service and staff were all really nice For a fast casual restaurant, it really wasn't all that bad. Everything we had, though, seemed to have a "day old "quality to it The tuna on the poke bowl had a bit of a slime/stickiness to it.. instead of a sharp fresh quality. The crudo.. same thing. Also. It was covered in a mango sauce.. you couldn't even make out the slices of fish .. so you couldn't appreciate the texture through the thickish sauce The mixed platter had an unappetizing coleslaw that seemed well past its prime. The sweet potato fries and dipping sauce were the highlight of the tray. The batter on the fried fish was still undercooked, so it was wet and gooey underneath and just fell off the fish. The calamari was overcooked. The crabcake, though, had the best flavor and was the second best thing on the tray If I'm in the area,, I might give it another shot. But prolly not. For two non alcoholic drinks, mixed fries platter, crudo appetizer, and a ahi poke bowl.. we dropped $100 Worth it? Nope read more

A great spot for fresh seafood featuring shareable apps with happy hour deals! I went for their Aloha Hour, which is their version of happy hour, and prices were great given the portion size of the shareable dishes. My favorites were the original ahi poke and the serrano poke. Both came with fresh tuna, and I loved the crispy wonton chips. I would skip the sushi rolls next time, as the poke was a better deal and came with more fish. The crispy fish taco and the sticky ribs were also flavorful. The staff was super friendly and it wasn't too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. They also have a rewards program that you can sign up for for extra discounts! read more

This place offers a solid happy hour (aloha hour) menu, and it's actually worth the price. I love that it's also dog friendly. They even offered our dog treats. We got two margaritas, the Serrano ahi pike, sticky ribs, cod taco, and steak taco from the aloha hour menu. The margaritas were delicious and not too sugary. All the food items had decent portions. My favorite was the cod taco. It was saucy and well battered. The sticky ribs were on the salty side and kinda chewy. Zero complaints about the other items tho. read more

We have a dog so we are always looking for a spot to accommodate him so we might have found a family gathering spot! read more

Beautiful, clean, restaurant with tropical chill vibes--love it! Friendly greetings and prompt service was totally appreciated! My family and I enjoyed the: Lobster Roll - Chunky lobster meat that was perfectly cooked and tender. The sweet potato fries were tasty and seasoned well. Fish & Chips - I enjoyed every bite of the fresh fish, also cooked perfectly. Crunchy outer layer and melt-in-your-mouth fish inside. So good! Fries were crispy and standard. I liked the Cole slaw which has a hint of Hawaiian style poke flavor. Miso soup - I didn't get to try it, but my kid liked it. Caramelized Pina Colada - So delicious and was reasonably priced for how much alcohol it had. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program online. We will definitely come back here to try more! read more

We came tonight at 5:45pm to try their happy hour items (ends at 6pm) which offered a decent discount off their regular menu prices. The place was relatively empty and we were seated immediately even though one member of our party will be late. Our server was friendly and brought out waters and menus. We purposely waited til right before 6 to order as we were still waiting for one person. We got the Pupu platter, Poke & Ceviche trio, Thai Brussels and Chili Lime Fries. Almost everything in the Pupu platter and Poke Ceviche trio was way too salty. Some of it was difficult to eat...especially the cucumber salad. We also asked for extra wonton chips because we needed more for the ultra salty items (they charged $1 extra but didn't tell us when we asked for a few extra chips to help eat up the salty poke and ceviche). There was also one fly that kept coming around that seemed to make the Pupu platter more aptly named. With that said, the Coconut shrimp was decent and the sea bass skewers were tender. The guacamole, poke, ribs, etc were all super salty. I enjoyed the flavor of the Thai Brussels, but not sure why they named it Thai...since it had no resemblance to Thai food. I wish it was more crispy as they were somewhat soft. The Chili Lime Fries was probably the best thing we had. We requested it to be extra crispy as I do not like soggy fries, and they delivered. It came out perfectly hot and crispy. read more

Good food, fun vibe, decent service! This one's a bit tough for me. We were looking for a new place to try on a random Thursday night and settled on seafood. Came across Pacific Catch and their menu really caught our attention. We came in a little over an hour before closing and waited a few minutes at the host stand before anyone came up to seat us. We were seated on the patio which is a really nice spot with heaters and glass barriers to keep it comfortable on chilly nights. Started off with the sticky ribs and steamed edamame. The ribs were delicious and most of them were cooked perfectly, fall-off-the-bone. A couple however were very tough and a bit chewy. The edamame was perfect, could use a bit more salt tossed on the lower ones. My fiancé got the Jale-piña cocktail which was so good and had a nice kick. I got the tiki old fashioned that was perfect. For entrees she got the salmon with Asian herb chimichurri, thai brussels, and grilled asparagus. The chimichurri was seriously the best, I'm getting that next time! She added a lobster tail also, it was okay. I got the Barramundi Sea Bass with a macadamia crust and coconut-tahini sauce. The fish was a bit dry and really needed the sauce, but they were great together. I also added a skirt steak which was cooked a perfect medium rare. All the veggies tasted good and were cooked just right. My only complaint was the service. Though our server was very nice, we only saw her maybe 3-4 times in the entire hour+ we were there. I never had a chance to get a refill on my soda, or order another drink. Our starters sat on the table finished and stacked cleanly for 20 minutes. The server had come by to take our main order and said she would get them cleaned up but then they just sat there until just before our food came out. I'm normally not one to complain about this but the restaurant only had maybe 5-6 tables with people at them, and at least 2 servers on the patio for only 3 parties. I'll definitely be back though to try more of their menu! It's a great date night spot that won't break the bank but which doesn't feel cheap either. read more

Had the opportunity to check out Pacific Catch for the first time and absolutely loved it! I always saw their location in Campbell, San Jose and know they partner with Monterey Bay Aquarium for ethically sourced food. With their modern aesthetic and seafood options, it makes you feel like you are transported to a coastal beach. We started off with their Guac Poke which was the perfect appetizer, the right amount of poke with the guac and chips. Definitely a must! For my entree, I had to go with their classic fish and chips which were decent. Enjoyed their cole slaw a lot, it doesn't taste like your average coleslaw, it has sesame in it! My girlfriend got their miso salmon which was amazing. The furikake on the rice was the perfect touch and the green beans also surprised me with miso flavor which I liked a lot. Our waitress Sianna was amazing! She gave us so many recommendations and told us her favorites. It was so hard to make a decision for food but she guided us in the right way. Thank you Sianna and Pacific Catch, will come back for that Miso salmon again. read more

A spot for seafood with a fun Hawaiian vibe! I've came here a handful of times, and the staff is consistently friendly. From the host to the servers, bartender, and manager. The restaurant is huge, with indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and even a TV at the bar. I went with family and ordered the 2 taco platter . I had the crispy baja cod and crispy shrimp taco with black beans and fries on the side. The batter on the cod was light and crispy and the shrimp was flavorful. The handful of times that I've been here, I did not have to wait long and the casual welcoming vibe makes it a great spot for any occasion. read more

I wasn't expecting to find something I'd like, but did! I enjoyed the salad I had. Atmosphere was nice, customer service was good! I have no complaints. Only thing I wanted to mention was the water, which is the reason why I'm not adding 5 stars. I'm not sure what kind of water they're using. Although it didn't seem to be filtered because the taste was peculiar. I honestly couldn't continue drinking it because of the taste & smell, and I say that as respectfully as I can. Everything else was great though! read more

Love the food, but the cocktails are inconsistent. One of my friends ordered a watermelon margarita and it looked so good I ordered one too. Mine came out lighter in color and taste. Seemed water-down. The food on the other hand turned out delicious all around. I got the West Coast salmon bowl with roasted cauliflower, wild rice, quinoa, cucumbers, avocado and a radish salad. It came with a cilantro dressing that was the perfect sauce to blend everything together. It was so good and hearty. I had half leftover for the next day but I took a few more bites when I got home. My friends enjoyed their order of fish tacos and fish and chips too. read more

Daughter chose Pacific Catch from the list of OC Restaurants participating because she already knew the restaurant and knew they cooked fish well there. I made a reservation for 3 on Friday at 11:30 AM for lunch. It hadn't reached peak lunch hour yet. We were seated by the hostess near the bar. I chose the $25 lunch with fresh caught salmon Asian herb chimichurri style with 2 sides of "elote" corn and roasted asparagus. Husband also went with the $25 lunch with fresh caught Macadamia nut salmon and 2 sides of Thai Brussels and sesame green beans. Daughter was ecstatic to find the $45 meal was available all day. She chose for her 1st course guaca-poke, 2nd course miso black cod, and 3rd course dessert of pineapple "Right Side Up Cake". Husband requested that everything be brought out all at once with the exception of daughter's dessert because he had to get back to work. Daughter's guaca-poke which is the original ahi poke, guacamole, and tortilla chips is definitely shareable. Husband eats raw fish so he gladly helped daughter with her appetizer. They do know how to do the fish well here. Everybody enjoyed their pieces of fish and chosen sides. We've had the pineapple "Right Side Up" cake before and do like the warm brown butter cake, grilled pineapple, and light whipped cream melted by the warm dessert. Daughter was quick to take the maraschino cherry off the top. As we finished our lunches, we noticed more business people arriving for their lunches. There were quite a few tables on the patio that were now occupied. read more

Our 5-star bartender/server, Sarah, is a great ambassador for Pacific Catch; she has been personable, professional, willing to create cocktails upon request (which were quite delicious!), and SO appreciatively patient and accommodating (when dealing with members of our group arriving at different times), and impressively, with such positivity -- especially handling the bar (and the restaurant) solo (why doesn't she have assistance??)! Given only 1 bartender, one can understand why service would be slower; however, Sarah confidently addressed/solved concerns of those wanting to take advantage of their Aloha Hour during my recent visits. My Grilled Salmon bowl ($23.95) was generous in size, attractive in presentation, and tasty; hubby wasn't too impressed with his order of Grilled Chicken bowl ($21.95). We both (surprisingly) enjoyed the Sticky Ribs ($16.50) off the Share Plates menu. Fun, light-&-airy atmosphere, especially at the bar top, bar area, and outside. read more

We had a great experience! We made it just in time for happy hour. Since happy hour was ending 10 minutes after we were seated, the server was kind enough to take our orders to make it in on time. We decided to try the Pou Pou Platter because it sounded like a great combo and a good deal! Between the sampler platter and the brussel sprouts, we both had enough to eat! We could have probably ordered one more appetizer to share but we were by no means hungry after all the food. The coconut shrimp was very tasty and the dipping sauce was delish. We enjoyed the poke guac and chips the best. Next time we will order just a bigger portion of the poke guac because we ran out of chips and they were the best! We both weren't very excited about the pork belly sliders but since everything else on the platter sounded good we thought we would try them. I personally never like pork unless it's cooked to perfection. My piece was very fatty and chewy. Some people like that but it's not my style. I also wasn't a fan of the sea bass skewer, it was way too fishy for me. My husband, on the other hand, really liked the skewer so he has mine and I had the last coconut shrimp. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. She took very good care of us! We will definitely be back here again soon! read more

A decent spot for seafood in the Irvine/Tustin area with good happy hour deals. There's plenty of parking outside of the restaurant. They have both indoor and covered outdoor seating available. They have weekday happy hour deals as well as various promotions that happen every month. The service is a little bit on the slower side, but everyone that works there is friendly. The pupu platter was great for sharing. The Chilean sea bass skewers had really good flavor and were cooked well. I always love their coconut shrimp here. It's perfectly crispy and they use really large juicy shrimp. The poke bowl comes in a very large portion. It came to the table about 25min after the rest of the entrees that we ordered, but still tasted good with a generous amount of fish. read more

Came here to try out their happy and it was pretty good. They have it Mon-Friday from 3-6pm. We got the fish, shrimp, and steak tacos. The fish and shrimp tacos were fried but there was a little too much batter for my liking. The steak taco was my favorite out of all of them. As for the raw fish, we got the poke and ceviche trio and the spicy tuna roll. The fish tasted fresh in each dish. We also got the thai brussels, herb garlic eggplant, pork belly sliders. The veggie sides were surprisingly some of my favorite dishes on the menu. The way that cooked and seasoned them were perfect. read more

Service was way too slow/inexperienced for our group of 8. We constantly had to ask our server for refills, clearing plates, and then were told we hit a 2 hour dining limit. I don't recall seeing that 2 hour limit when I made the reservation on OpenTable, we were still ordering pitchers of margaritas so we had to chug them since the notice came right before the latest pitcher.

I never knew about this place until I suddenly had a random craving for a lobster roll! It's tucked way in the corner near Snooze. parking is super easy and we walked in on a Saturday around noon and had no wait! The interior is super spacious and was kinda Hawaiian themed. Service was very nice and the food came out very fast! We got the lobster roll with chili lime fries and the pork belly sliders! We also got a side of the chile-miso broccolini. I love broccolini but this broccolini had no flavor and did not taste of miso at all. It was also on the tougher side as they used some older broccolini with bigger stems. The food was great overall and my lobster rolls cravings were satisfied without me needing to drive out to a coastal city c: I'll be coming back but I'll pass on the broccolini read more
