    This is a nice restaurant that specializes in fish. The selection of fish dishes was very good with a number of plates I would have wanted to try. And I thought the selection of side dishes looked good as well. I had the Sea Bass. I choose the Korean fried rice with egg and the grilled zucchini as sides. The good: the cut of fish was generous and it tasted pretty fresh. The fried rice was not quite "Korean" but still very tasty and the egg was great. I liked the grilled zucchini that was cooked well. The decor is very attractive and service was very good. The not as good: even though there was no mention of cilantro in any of the ingredients, I specifically asked for no cilantro anyway, anticipating that there might be some cilantro -- which I hate. The plate still came with cilantro! Even though cilantro is not mentioned in the menu and even though I asked for no cilantro! Also, the fish was a tad overcooked. Finally, the sauce on the zucchini was a bit too much. And, unfortunately, because it was served together, the overpowering sauce on the zucchini was on the Sea Bass. I really wish chefs would trust their food a little more and not put so much sauce on stuff. I recommend you ask for all the sauce on the side so you can add to your own taste.

    Food was amazing, had the pokemole order of the ribs, lobster roll and a few other things. The service was okay overall we had a bartender was taking tables and still working the bar. more towards the restaurant they need better staffing but the server him self was great. Only thing at my 3 star is not till i paid was the check and maybe my fault but had a crying kid and was in a rush. More towards fellow guest at any place always check your checks and as a seafood place will other items like that change suddenly. will come back for the short ribs but will pay better attention next time.

    Pitcher of Mai Tais

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The food was good. Really enjoyed the black cod. The crab cakes and calamari were standard but the sauces were good. The place is clean and open. We just wish we weren't seated next to a very large engagement party as it got pretty loud.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    El pastor shrimp with kimchi fried rice and sweet potato fries. Very yummy
    Frances C.

    We came to Pacific Catch to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. We started with mango and spicy margaritas and ceviche. Very yummy . My husband had el pastor shrimp with kimchi fried rice and I had skirt steak and lobster we enjoyed everything. Finished with pineapple cake that was to die for. Briana was a very delightful server. Service with a smile. The restaurant was very beautiful.

    We loved how pet friendly Pacific Cath is, and their patio is very nice. We ordered a lot of the aloha hour appetizers and a couple entrees, which honestly more food than we anticipated. Everything was great though, and the tacos (both cod and shrimp) are the bomb! I also like that they accept inKind as a payment method, so I can use my credit.

    Super fresh and delicious seafood that is served with large portions and very tasty. The food is all presented beautifully and is healthy and packed with flavor. The interior is very nicely decorated and staff are wonderful. Lots of seating available and an extensive menu with plenty of different fish.
