Newly opened and all I can say is yum! I've tried the Tustin location and wasn't impressed, however this Brea location is fantastic! Greeters and servers were all fabulous, everyone we interacted with provided great customer service. Our server Alexis was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the original ahi poke which was absolutely delicious, and a huge portion, I couldn't finish my bowl. Inside and on the patio the decor is very nice yet casual, giving tropical vibes. They have happy hour on the weekends from 3-5 which is pretty cool, and would probably come back for it next time, we skipped it today as we weren't really wanting to drink anything. Parking is easiest at the structure nearby, although be forewarned, it's very crowded, even at 3 pm or so we had to circle around a bit. There is also paid valet service. read more

Sometimes it's hard to find a decent lobster roll in these parts. Whether it's the lack of access of to decent lobster, a lack of desire to pack the lobster roll with its namesake, or charging close to the $40 mark for the sandwich--a quality lobster roll at a reasonable price is an elusive unicorn. Pacific Catch's $33 example is one that, while on the more expensive side, turned out to be quite ample and quite delicious. I wasn't complaining there wasn't enough lobster in it and I wasn't complaining the lobster seemed skunky or without taste. If anything, the price point might be too high for what you get, but not more than $3 or $4, which is fine. The fries were good as was as the slaw, but obviously the star of the show. I also had a chance to sample some of the fried fish and calamari from the mixed plate one of the other members of our party had. Those turned out really well too. I was surprised how much you get in the mixed plate and may try it next time. The service was good for the most part. They took a bit to notice I needed a refill and I was forced to flag someone down to take care of the issue. I also was left longer than I'd like waiting for a table when I had a reservation acknowledged in the system. There wasn't anything egregious about the customer service, but it wasn't 100% perfect either. The ambience was cool. I'm not a huge fan of outdoor seating. Usually the bugs and sunlight are enough to ruin a meal. But they had in place a lot of glass walls and sun shades to keep away most of those things. The seats they had outside were comfortable and the tables had a lot of space to seat our party of 3 without any squishing. I also enjoyed the vibe. As my friend Carly said, it reminds one a lot of Miami restaurant by the water. I thought it also had a lot of a tiki aesthetic. All of those are good things. All in all, I had a good meal and a good time. I'll definitely return and try to work my way through more of the menu. read more

We had the best experience here!! Food was delicious (and the portions were fantastic!). We tried a lot of their items and were happy with everything. Our servers were friendly and the location was beautiful. The interior design is fabulous. AND we loved the outdoor heat lamps because they were self controlled by the table - I could make the heat warmer for my daughters compared to mine. Gotta love technology! read more

Your Aloha Hour aka Happy Hour will start everyday (weekends too) at 3pm at the newest pacific catch at brea mall with so many delicious bites ranging between $5-$10 and drinks at $9! Taste and sip the flavors of Hawaiian, Japanese and Mexican all at one spot. You must get that ribs, fish tacos, spicy poke, sweet potato fries and I know the zucchini doesn't look like much but I love it. Can you believe Thai Tea too? Pick a spot at the bar or enjoy the breezy patio or spacious dining area, every spot is served with great service. Located in the newest wing of Brea Mall across from North Italia and next to The Melt. read more

I like the beautiful interior, feels kind of like a Hawaii resort. The service was also top notch. The waiters and waitresses were attentive and quick to refill my water Foodwise I thought everything was delicately made. The sea bass was grilled well and it came with a well paired sauce. I think where this place fell short was the classic... price to quantity ratio. I get we're not at long John silvers but my 34 dollar lobster roll was taken down in 2 bites.... My mom asked for some and I had to say no. Sorry mom. I get it's Mother's Day but they already gave you a free mimosa. (They actually gave her a free mimosa and jk my mom didn't want any). I guess another consideration is I just had a big a$$ mouth. The taste is clean but nothing I haven't had. Overall I thought all the fish we tried were tasty but we had to pick up some 40 piece McDonald nuggies afterwards. read more

First time at this location and I like the aesthetics of the interior, it kinda makes you feel like you're in Cabo. I sat at the bar and there was no wait, bartender Rebecca was attentive and nice. I tried their kanpachi with their signatures sauce and it was pretty good. The fish tasted fresh and i liked my sides as well. I also tried the mixed catch platter and although it was decent- i dont think its worth it. 50% of the portions are fries (fries werent good), and on their website it says it comes with 3 coconut shrimp however mine didn't have that. So either they forgot or false advertisement. read more

My husband and I dined at Pacific Catch during their soft opening and had a great dining experience. For starters we had the guac poke appetizer. For our entree we each had the summer sea bass. For dessert we had the dulce de leche rolls. Our server was very attentive and personable. The place is beautiful inside and outside. We asked to be seated outside and it was a nice outdoor patio setting. Definitely recommend Pacific Catch Brea location. read more

Super happy they opened one closer to home. We used to have to drive to Tustin. I love this place. My husband swears they have the best burger. Must get for me are the poke, salmon bowl or plate with the sweet potatoes and kimchi rice-so good. I can eat this every day. Other must try is the guaca-poke. Great service and cute place, instantly reminds me of our Hawaii vacations. read more

Pacific Catch - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Pacific Catch just opened, and I came on their 3rd day of business. The ambience is comfy and intimate with a relaxed feel. Hawaiian reggae music is playing and all the staff were so welcoming and helpful. I ordered the ceviche and calamari for appetizers. The calamari was crispy and the ceviche was fresh. I ordered a shrimp plate for lunch that came with rice and zucchini. I came with a party of 12 and we were all so impressed with the taste, presentation, and portion size of our plates. Their menu offers a large variety of fusion style plates and you seriously can't go wrong with anything you order! A healthy option with great service, definitely will be coming back! read more

Came to check out Pacific Catch on Mother's Day. Thought it was a nice touch that they were offering a glass of prosecco or a mimosa to all the moms. I enjoyed the grilled barramundi sea bass with some grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. The entire meal was really tasty and the mashed potatoes were SO good. I loved the interior which felt like you were at a nice, modern resort in Hawaii. Our server was super personable and very kind. Did a nice job of sharing his recommendations since this was my first time at Pacific Catch. I would definitely love to come back and try something else next time! read more

Came here for the soft opening. And they had different menus. I felt like our menu was fine but the food was cooked well. The veggies also tasted pretty fresh. I thought the dessert was super delicious though. It was a chocolate brownie with icecream read more

We were fortunate to attend a pre-opening practice run at this gorgeous brand new location. Even with training wheels, we had a terrific meal and experience! The wife had the barramundi and I had the three tacos (steak, sea bass, fried cod) and it was all delicious! The portions here are beyond generous for the price. We were checked on frequently but not intrusively, with constant coaching from the managers to fine tune the staff's game. It's very apparent that the management cares deeply about guest experience. Hey - don't be afraid of the patio! The tropical vibes surround and personally controllable heaters for every seat! So neat. Situated next to Din Tai Fung and North Italia - the restaurant game in Brea just skyrocketed and Pacific Catch is a perfect fit! read more

Omg this location is beautiful, perfect for date night, girls night, a celebratory night out!! Our server was Key and she was fantastic! She was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions! She recommended the summer sea bass and she did not steer me wrong, it was delicious! Reminded me of the infamous mama's fish house in Maui! The calamari is the best I've ever had. The food is so fresh, prices are fair. We did not want dessert but she suggested the chocolate cake with ice cream and that was divine. We were so impressed at the level of service we received, considering it just opened! Everyone is so friendly here. The manager Bill welcomed us in with a great big smile and seemed very excited to be open! The manager Sylvia came by to ask how the food was and she was very nice as well. Overall 100/10 and we will definitely be back to try more things on the menu! read more

I really wanted to like this place as I had the Tustin location bookmarked for some time. The interior aesthetic definitely felt welcoming and clean , like all most new restaurants. It seemed very promising for the food to have the same quality as the restaurant itself. However, It was a bit disappointing when the menu was not the same as the other locations. There was quite a huge difference and came as a surprise on the menu change. With that we rolled with it and ordered what seemed fitting for our appetite. Portions are definitely small for the price point and the fries seemed just like mc Donald's fries to be honest. You'll be paying premium price for it. The small plates were mediocre at best with maybe some good sauces. Service was great and attentive with zero complaints there. It would have been a total bust and probably not return if our server wasn't so awesome. At the end of the day I may still give it another go and try some of the mains another time. read more

100% recommend!! Bill the GM is the best!! Great food and location! The ambiance is perfect. The service is awesome! read more

Very nice Ambience and Exceptional service by Eric on the patio. Having worked in the industry many years I can tell that Eric was as good as it gets with recommendations, attentiveness, and suggestions.

Today my husband and I came in for some lunch. We sat at the bar because that's where we usually like to sit. We ordered two drinks; the hurricane and Mai tai. Both were amazing! For starters we had a cup of salmon chowder. Wow amazing. Loved this. It says seasonal so we will definitely be back for more! Next up was my sticky bbq ribs with fries on the side. Again, amazing. My husband order the California lobster roll. He said it was really good and would order again. Can't wait to be back again for dinner and try more food and drinks. Our bartender and service was great as well! Bartender was very attentive. read more

Been to the one in San Diego and Tustin. The one at Brea just opened. They have the best outdoor patio. You don't feel like your in Orange County. You feel like your at a tropical location. The food is always good here. Happy hour 7 days a week. The manager Bill stopped by and asked about our experience. I truly felt like they appreciated that we chose to dine with them. The only thing that I can suggest is to lower the TV's in the bar area and make them much bigger. read more

Pacific Catch - Great place to spend an afternoon - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

We had such a great experience at Pacific Catch at their soft opening, a big part of that was thanks to Gregory. From the moment we were seated, he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. He has such a great personality and made us feel taken care of the entire time! The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It's rare to come across service that stands out this much. Gregory went above and beyond, and it definitely didn't go unnoticed. One of the managers Sylvia, constantly was checking up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. We'll absolutely be back, and we hope to have Gregory as our server again! read more

I gave Pacific Catch a raving 1st review, but now I'm having second thoughts. I have made two reservations for dinner on two seperate dates and they were both cancelled. I tried to walk up to the restaurant and said I would wait for an open table and they refused, even though there were several open tables. I know they don't want to over work their staff, but to call me and cancel two of my reservations....hummmmm. I think this is a management issue and not an employee/server issue. Not sure if I am going back if this is how they do business. read more

First, What an amazing first experience. Being from Brea. We were very excited to check out The Pacific Catch. One of the first full service restaurants to open, in our multi-million dollar redevelopment of the Brea Mall. We were impressed from start to finish. We were immediately greeted at the door with enthusiasm and smiles. The ambience and decor felt upscale and family friendly. The music made us feel like we were on a tropical Island. We wanted to check things out so we sat at the patio Bar. The bar was big, polished and clean. A bit empty, but they just opened last week. We were greeted within seconds by our bartender Andy. He presented our menus and guided us through it, as it was our first visit. As suggested, my husband tried The Classic Mai Tai. "Tropical and Fresh" he described it. That's when we found out about Aloha Friday. Don't forget your Hawaiian shirt. I wanted a glass of wine and was encouraged to try the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect for a warm afternoon on the patio. We didn't bring a large appetite, however we couldn't resist sharing The Homemade Crab Cakes after described by Andy. They were not only delicious. They were beautifully plated and we finished every bite. When we commented how delicious they were his response was that "their chefs make food with love". By that point we were touched by the passion and hospitality. We were also greeted by Emily. She was very kind and polite. Ensuring we had every need at hand. I don't think our water glasses were ever near empty. Before we left, we asked Andy if he was the manager? He said no, he was new to the company and owed it to his training and support team. Then proceeded to explain a little company background and how excited he was to be part of Pacific Catch. We left so excited to return for dinner. I hope the standards continue at such a high level. Welcome to Brea! We wish you all the best success. read more

Food was good, but not great. She had the fish and chips, I had the lobster roll. It was a smaller portion than I expected for the price and they hadn't split the roll all the way through, so the portion of lobster sat mostly on top. A few pieces of the lobster were a little tough, but acceptable overall. Certainly not the best I've had, which was from a food truck, by the way. Fountain drinks were weak on carbonation. No salt & pepper on the table and when asked for, they brought small bowls; flaky sea salt isn't the best for French fries. We sat outside and in spite of many other couples at 4 top booths, and many empty booths, we were given a 2 top table. The booths all had overhead heaters and we didn't, which made things chilly when the wind picked up. They could really use some way to keep the wind from blowing through the west side patio, as it usually does in the evenings. Server was overly friendly and wanted to chat more than was comfortable. One mixed and one fountain drink seemed to take a while and when the drink arrived, they had to go back for the fountain drink. Sat and waited for the bill while the waiter had an extended chat with another table. read more

Called around 3:40 pm was told to rush in before 4 pm to get sat before a. Bunch of reservations. Came at 3:50 ( was literally walking there) and at 3:50 was told they closed walk ins. If they were planning to close the walk ins at least communicate with the host staff about it. Terrible read more

We ate at Pacific Catch for dinner during their soft opening. The hosts were very friendly and showed us the bar area where we requested to sit. The bar tenders made us feel comfortable. They were skilled and engaging and the service was accurate. All the food on the menu sounded good and there were several dishes we wanted to try. We ordered 2 small plates; the guacamole-poke, and the lobster roll. For the entree we ordered the miso black cod which was, melt in your mouth, the best cod we've eaten. For dessert we got the chocolate lava cake...decadent. We will definitely be coming back again. read more

I can't wait to come back. The ambience is super nice, but people the food in spectacular!!!!!! You gotta try this new Resturant at the Brea Mall on the new outer rim of the mall. read more

We came here on a night during their soft opening. From the moment we walked in we were in love! Obsessed with the dim lighting and the ocean/coastal inspired design with an earthy touch was absolutely lovely to gaze upon while enjoying our evening. We very much enjoyed our drink selection and our food choices. The drinks were made well and the bartenders were very very nice and helpful offering their assistance with whatever we needed. The food came out quick and was very delicious and fresh. We are so eager to come again and again!! read more
