10/10 ALL AROUND. Literally there are no faults. Everything, from the service- to the food- to the ambiance- just 10/10. I've been here many times and each time our servers have been amazing. This time, especially, our server Benny went above and beyond! He was very friendly and really made our experience here even better. (Thanks for making sure we got enough purple sweet potato!!) I got the scallop (new menu item) with Okinawan purple sweet potatoes and my fiancé got his usual miso black cod. The seafood and sweet potatoes were, per usual, DELICIOUS. If you only try one thing from Pacific catch, I'd highly recommend the Okinawan purple sweet potato side dish. It's the best sweet potato dish I have tried in LA, and I have tried a LOT of sweet potato dishes. Perfectly sweet with a hint of savoriness from the sauce. Slightly crunchy and crispy exterior with a buttery soft interior. Chef's kiss. Tldr- Pacific catch is a must try. Okinawan purple sweet potatoes are amazing. 5 stars!!! Love love love.

Great experience here! We made reservations for the wrong date by accident and they still honored it, such nice folks! Our server was really nice too. Food was good IMO but some might find it a bit pricey. Nice ambiance both inside and out, bathroom clean. Parking can be a bit challenging tho, so look out for that. Ordered the Hawaiian Kanpachi Krudo for appetizers, 3/5 and Grilled Salmon Chowder 5/5. Main dish was Summer Sea Bass 4/5 and Lobster Roll 4/5 it was delicious but a bit skimpy IMO. Complimentary dessert banana gelato ice cream 3/5 and pineapple upside down cake 5/5. A bit pricey but will most likely be back and I recommend if you like Seafood, nice ambiance and don't mind paying a little bit more for your meal.

We made reservations for a pretty large group, and to make things a little more complicated, several people in our party were running late because parking was a struggle. Daniel, our waiter, was incredibly patient and understanding from start to finish. He never rushed us, even with our large group and all the different requests we had. What really stood out was how well he kept track of everything. With a big party, multiple orders, drinks, and special requests, he somehow remembered everything and made sure everyone was taken care of. His service genuinely made the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable for our entire group. The food was good, the drinks were good, but honestly, Daniel was the highlight of our visit. Our whole party noticed how attentive and kind he was, and we really wanted to acknowledge him because great service like that makes such a difference. I'd definitely recommend this Pacific Catch location for a larger group, especially if you're lucky enough to have Daniel taking care of you. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease. One thing to keep in mind is parking. The nearby parking structures can fill up quickly, and you may end up parking on the other side of the mall and walking over. They do offer valet, which is definitely worth considering if you don't want to deal with the parking situation. Overall, great experience and 10/10 for the service. Daniel deserves a big shoutout!

Ordered the following: Chili Lime Fries Miso Black Cod Service was friendly and efficient. The flavors were nice and I really enjoyed the furikake rice. The Fries were seasoned well.

My wife and I originally had a confirmed reservation for Din Tai Fung located next door, but due to a power outage, our reservation was cancelled 15 minutes prior. Luckily, our Anniversary Dinner celebration was saved by Pacific Catch! We walked up to the hostess desk and immediately seated in the dining area that is dimly lit. That was fine for us as it was hotter than Hades that Saturday afternoon and we were not feeling like sitting out in their patio are that was shaded. Our server, Kailey, quickly arrived at our table and took our drink and appetizer order: wife: Blood Orange Margarita ($15), me: Golden State Spritz ($15) and Housemade Crab Cakes ($18). Kailey brought our drinks and ice water and within a few minutes, our crab cakes arrived. My wife really like her Blood Orange Margarita, and my Spritz, was very light and refreshing, perfect for hot weather sipping. The crab cakes were really good!! The were presented on a bed of salad green tossed in a light vinaigrette with both complimenting each other when eaten together. After finishing our crab cakes, Kailey still did not take our entree orders. I think what was happening was the restaurant was unprepared, staffing wise, for a sudden influx of a pre-dinner time rush (1530 hours) of folks whose DTF reservations were all suddenly cancelled. Yet, the staff and management seemed to recover quite quickly and efficiently. After Kailey took our entree orders which comes with two selected sides: Wife-Barrimundi Sea Bass ($29) w/Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes and me-Kona Karpachi ($36) w/Green String Beans and Mashed Potatoes. Pre-Tip Subtotal: $113.00 Out two entrees arrived shortly. Both looked very appealing and appetizing. We dug in. My wife enjoyed her fish entree. It was moist and properly cooked and not dried out. She enjoyed her asparagus but really liked the mashed potatoes. I tried my fish which was also cooked properly, moist and flaky but not dried out like fish jerky. I also loved those creamy cheesy mashed potatoes. The green string beans, on the other hand, was disgusting. It was obvious the green beans were pre-cooked (boiled, steamed, blanched or however), then maybe pan flash fired to order, to the point they were absolutely mushy and limp on the plate and had a nasty, mushy mouth feel. The sesame sauce they placed on top made it the veggies that much worse. It made the beans really unpleasant to eat. My wife & I really liked the creamy mashed potatoes. We both they offered a bigger serving of it rather than what looks like a sized side dish made by an airline catering company. We skipped dessert since both entrees filled us up. Overall, we were glad that we were able to try Pacific Catch for the first time and really enjoyed the service, drinks and food, minus the green beans. We would definitely dine here again.

My boyfriend and I had a dinner date at Pacific Catch on a Friday evening. We hadn't booked a reservation prior to going, so our wait time was around 45-50 minutes. Thankfully, this location is at the Brea Mall, so we did some window shopping and browsing in the meantime. The interior is dimly lit and intimate, and the decor and seating give off tropical vacation vibes. It was surprisingly spacious; there's a whole outdoor section that isn't immediately visible when you enter the restaurant from the front. For drinks, I ordered the Guava-Rita, and my boyfriend got the Tiki Old-Fashioned. I thought my cocktail was so good-it tasted like juice, HAHA. We went a little ham with food and ordered a salmon chowder cup and ceviche mixto to share in addition to our taco platter mains. We both got seared sea bass and crispy cod for the protein and garlic lime fries on the side, per our server's recommendation. The portions here are incredibly generous. We were expecting the starters to be itty bitty, but they were sizeable plates. The salmon chowder was deliciously creamy and paired well with a squeeze of lemon. They didn't skimp on the salmon chunks either! The ceviche was refreshing on its own but was so addicting on top of a tortilla chip. The combination of cooked shrimp, fish, and avocado made for a whirlwind of delicious textures in each bite. When the entrees came in, I was in complete shock. The fish was literally spilling out of the taco shell, and there was a mountain of fries on the side! My personal favorite was the Baja style cod since it was so crispy and paired well with the pico de gallo underneath. However, my boyfriend loved the pineapple salsa with the seared sea bass. The fries were so savory and went great with the elote-inspired dip that it came with. Our server was awesome with getting our order in a timely manner and suggesting wonderful options/alternatives. He gave us a healthy amount of time to enjoy the food before checking in on us. All of the food came out quickly as well. My boyfriend and I loved our dining experience at Pacific Catch and hope to come back soon for another date night dinner.

I've been to the Tustin location and the food is pretty good. This time around was our first time at this location. We came after a workout at Lifetime so got there earlier in the day to park but parking can definitely be a little tough as it's located right by the mall and the new outdoor stores. It's located close to a parking structure though which helps. We came around 1 pm on a Saturday and were seated within 5 minutes on the patio. The day was beautiful and the patio had a nice a breeze. I felt the service was lacking a bit. We had to ask for our server to bring water, and when we ordered our drinks they came out at different times, with the drink ordered later coming first. She did seem to disappear at times for long stretches but could be due to the large party near us. I did appreciate her honesty when we asked about a new menu item we were considering ordering. The watermelon mule was my favorite drink, but the virgin Margy and mango mezcalita were good too. The food was pretty good per usual. I really enjoyed the ceviche and crab cakes. They were very flavorful and I loved the arugula under the crab cakes. For entrees we ordered the barramundi sea bass and the Kona Konpachu. The fish was pretty tasty and not too fishy. The Brussels sprouts were so good I kept wanting to eat them even though I was stuffed. Cooked perfectly and so much flavor. The kimchi fried rice was okay, I don't know if I'd order it again as I've had better but it wasn't too bad. We walked around the mall afterwards and there is a nice outdoor area to hang out. Overall this is a great place and area for lunch or dinner with friends.

My first time trying this restaurant and it was amazing. Beautiful ambiance with an island feel. The food was good everything I tried and the service by K was amazing she was attentive fun and personable. I ordered the meat with fried rice, crab cakes, and a drink. A nice amount of items to choose from the menu. I will definitely go find there again.

Giving 5 stars to Pacific Catch!!! The exceptional service was absolutely great. The manager Rodolfo and another lady at the front was very nice. My mom sugar was low and they gave her some orange juice as we waited. They even checked on her as we sat down. Our server Key was amazing as well. She was super attentive and had a great personality. She recommend the crab cakes that were really good.. 5/5 for me. I highly suggest you ask for key when you come. I ordered the salmon Cesar salad and it was pretty good. Also, for my drink the Mai tai, was very good and not too sweet. The ambiance was good it's really beautiful and modern inside . It's pretty new so it's a long wait, but it was worth it. Nice bar area and located outside the Brea Mall next to all the new restaurants. I will come back here to try their happy hour. Plenty of parking and they have valet! -Marshay D.

If you're looking for a spot with cute coastal aesthetics, this is definitely the place. The decor and overall ambiance definitely nailed that breezy, seaside-vacation vibe. The restaurant was a bit smaller than I anticipated, but it had a cozy and stylish feel. The actual food itself however felt very standard. I had the Ahi Poke ($14) and Sweet Potato Fries ($8) and found both the fries and poke to be average at best. The poke quality didn't seem as fresh as I'd expect from a dedicated seafood spot, and I personally found the wakame cucumber salad mix underneath to be a bit odd. I wasn't a huge fan of the strips of cucumber tossed in with the wakame salad as I felt it took away from the distinct taste of the seaweed salad. Service was standard. Our server was attentive enough, though the restaurant was decently busy so things moved at a regular pace. That being said, their "Aloha Hour" menu looks like a great way to try multiple dishes for a fraction of the price so I would definitely come back to give that a try, as well as check out their cute outdoor patio. Glad to see more restaurant options opening up in Brea!

Pacific catch is starting to become a comfort spot for my fiancé and I! At first when this restaurant first opened at the outside area of Brea Mall in mid 2026, we thought the menu looked healthy and delicious. This couldn't be more true when we first had it! We got items from the grill -- miso black cod and scallop-- and instantly fell in love. Also the Okinawa purple sweet potato is to DIE for. It is probably one of the best sweet potato dishes I've had. The restaurant sits right outside the new area in Brea Mall and has such a beautiful interior. They have lovely outside seating with a lot of greens as well as a comfortable inside. Shoutout to Benny for helping us out! He was a joy and made sure we were good throughout the whole dinner. He even made sure we got our fill of the purple sweet potato!

This place had food that was fresh but service was a bit slow. We came on a summer weekend day during lunch time so that might be the reason. But with the location and being a franchise, I am assuming they are fully trained to handle a busy afternoon. I ordered a three piece fish and chips (sweet potato). The fish was okay taste wise. There was not much flavor to the fish or breading. The sauce was definitely bomb. I asked to take some home with my leftover fries. My kids really loved it too. I am hoping to have a better experience the next time we go in. I will try to order something different from the menu.

Came here for an early dinner, had the calamari for an appetizer and a salmon bowl. The salmon bowl was delicious, filled with micro greens, cucumber salad, quinoa/rice, and greens. The salmon was very juicy and tender, I loved my plate. Also absolutely loved the shrimp cotija salad, it was exquisite. Can't wait to try more. Ambiance was upscale, loved the decor, waitress was very friendly.
