The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. From the perfectly cooked meats to the sides, appetizers, and drinks, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Frank for providing outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal. Thank you, Frank, for helping make our experience so enjoyable! read more

Pacific Catch - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

This was by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Our server, Eric, took our order incorrectly. We ordered the Wagyu Burger, but he brought us the Salmon Burger instead. When we politely let him know it wasn't what we ordered, he acted as if it was somehow our fault and gave us a very rude attitude instead of simply apologizing for the mistake. After taking the incorrect burger back, he eventually brought the correct Wagyu Burger. However, he still added the Salmon Burger to our bill. It seemed like he ended up covering the cost himself because he didn't want to tell his manager about the mistake, but that should never have become our problem in the first place. We ended up paying extra for the Salmon Burger. The food was disappointing as well. The rice was hard and had crunchy pieces that were unpleasant to eat, and the overall quality did not match the prices. Between the poor food, the long wait, and the extremely unprofessional service, this was a very frustrating experience. read more

What could be better on a Friday late afternoon into evening than meet old friends for HH/dinner. Lynda, Mike and I go way back. He's now doctoring in Tucson, Lynda and I are retired from the Hospitality Industry. Neither of them were aware of the massive project at Brea Mall. Where better to meet and see my favorite server, Hanna, than Pacific Catch. No Hanna, but Eric was assigned to us, poor soul. He took it in stride and was fun, funny and kept us amused. He especially was patient when we became enamored of the tiny glow light lamp. Mike and I, like the four year old at the next table kept flickering the light on and off. Of the menu the BBQ Korean ribs were delicious as was the fish and chips, my shrimp and cod tacos and Mike's salmon. As we were getting ready to leave, the manager, Sylvia, stopped to say hello. Surprise, Linda and she were old friends. What a delightful, warm, lovely lady , Sylvia. And to top it off my Hanna arrived and I got a hug!! Wonder who will accompany me there next!!! P.S. Sylvia told me where they purchased the lamp. Mine arrives next Monday read more

Pacific Catch - Happy Hour Menu - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

See all

Beautiful new grill at the Brea Mall. We were excited to try some of the happy hour and main dishes. Ordered a California Roll and the Salmon Chowder. Both items were bland. The California definitely felt pre-made and the crab filling was dry almost tunafish like. The Salmon Chowder had no flavor and was disappointing. Ordered macadamia sea bass was kind of weird with a big purple squash covered with yellow stuff. The seabass was completely covered by what I thought was rice or crumbs. The seabass was over cooked a bit dry. The other main dish was the yellow tail dish, it to was over cooked and the mash potatoes were flavorless. A little disappointed, but it's only been open a month. Got to give it some time.. we left hungry, portions were smaller Than usual. Value wise, it was pricey.. over a hundred bucks for a late lunch. Service wise, the waitress was nice. The order did take longer than usual. read more

The food was really good but the manager Sylvia was so rude. We booked a party of 12 for happy hour and time it so we can order off the happy hour menu for appetizers and the rest on the reg menu that the girl on the phone told us to do. Well I guess they only serve on one side of the restaurant so she said she couldn't do it because it was not in the notes but she was just so rude about it. We ask for the Gm and he was willing to move us to the other side and make it right . We still paid over 600 bucks for dinner and happy but honestly how does this lady even work here does fit the vibe with her rudeness and making ugly facial expressions. read more

So first of all I just want to say If i could give this restaurant 10 stars i would. This has to be one of the best restaurants I've been to hands down. I've been to a lot of places and I have tried a lot of cuisine. This place takes the cake. To start with the service was great. Sean, our server, was amazing. So attentive and quick with everything. The ambiance was perfect. We sat on the outer ring of tables that has a view of the outside. I must say it was stellar. The food flavors were so complex and amazing. I can't emphasize this enough. Every dish i tried from the sea bass which is amazingly priced at $29, to the al pastor shrimp and kimchi fried rice, the salmon chowder, the ceviche, EVERYTHING was absolutely out of this world. I don't leave reviews with this level of praise often. I generally will only review a place if its deserving 5 stars for its performance but this place is beyond 5 stars. Come in asap. You'll wish you had sooner. read more

I will be definitely coming back here again. The service was friendly and on point. The food was amazing, there was nothing we didn't like. Surf and Turf was a good choice. The skirt steak with chimichurri sauce was on point. The Okinawan potatoes were a pleasant surprise. Only wish they change up the desert menu to include something gf. read more

This place is so good. I don't know where to start. Let's start with a service everyone here greets you with a smile. They are generally happy to work here. My absolute favor servers are Erik and Gregory. The first time I had Erik he was amazing very helpful. Very patient easy and made my first time experience one I just had to return to. I loved how easy-going he was and he made sure all needs were met. My second time I had Gregory and he was also top-tier. Gregory is so good that you will want for nothing if you could think of a item you may need he already brought it to the table. I love that he thinks outside of the box and brings you additional things that he thinks you may want he really has mastered customer service and goes above and beyond to get to know his customer which is not something people do in the food industry. There's also another really sweet woman that is so kind so overall the staff here is 10 out of 10 best overall staff that I have ever encountered at a restaurant as a whole. The food is absolutely divine. You cannot miss the lobster roll and the Thai brussels sprouts they have an amazing happy hour. That is truly too good to be true for the prices in the value this place genuinely gives you quality food at fair prices. Let's not forget the ambiance, if you wanna feel like you escape to some tropical island then this is your place. The decor is so Vibey it feels like you're on vacation in the day. It's so beautiful and vibrant and in the night it's a very cozy and romantic I love all of the flowers and greenery. It feels like you have a left and are not in Orange County shout out to the interior designers. they did an excellent job with this location. My overall experience here is amazing and I will definitely be coming back probably next weekend. That's all good. Thank you again, Erik and Gregory for your exceptional customer service truly has been the best that I have encountered! read more

Fantastic service, very friendly and attentive. The sea food is very fresh and cooked perfectly, prepared well very delicious. And the smoked salmon chowder is awesome. Saw it on menu and gave it a try, more like a porridge but it's so good. Cooking fish perfectly is more difficult than steak and they seem to be always consistent especially when I always ask to cook the fish medium rare. Been to this location a few times and several times to another location and they've always been good and consistent but nice that this one is closer to home. read more

Had an amazing first time at Pacific Catch and I see myself coming here in the future! First of all, biggest shoutout to Gabriel (I hope I remembered correctly). He was the friendliest and funniest server I've ever interacted with. I appreciated how he went out of the way to make my meal special. I felt like he had asked the chefs to prepare a couple dishes differently and I appreciate the staff for doing that for us. The food was incredible! I really enjoyed the GuacaPoke, Wagyu Burger and Thai Brussels. Nothing was a miss at all. I enjoyed the interior of the restaurant. I like the mini booths and can see myself coming back! read more

I had such a wonderful experience here! To start, the outdoor seating is beautiful. I had originally wanted to sit inside but upon walking up I changed my mind due to the very nice patio. My partner and I got the Calamari to start, the super crispy breading pairs well with the dipping sauce provided. I ordered the Ahi Poke with Serrano and the green beans. The Poke was amazing. I'm not sure what sauces they put on it but it was so good and the fish was really fresh! The green beans were well seasoned, a little dry but easily fixed with some lemon. My partner ordered the warm lobster roll with fries. I tried a bite and WOW!!! I've never had a lobster roll but after this it's gonna be hard to top. The roll was so buttery and had a crisp outside but super soft inside. The lobster was so soft and paired with the slaw, just amazing. The runners had accidentally brought us the Guac-Poke, but let us keep it. It was also very good. The guac is super creamy and I never would have thought fish would taste good on top but it really does! For my drink I got the (I think it's called) Shark Fin, and that was also delicious. It's sweet but not too sweet. For dessert we had the Dulce de Leche spring rolls and gelato. It was great! Also not too sweet and eating the gelato on top of the cheesecake filled spring rolls is a must. Frank was a great server, very attentive and kind. We will definitely be back!! read more

I fell in love with this restaurant in SF years ago, so you can imagine my absolute thrill when they finally opened a location here! We've already been twice, and they have completely knocked it out of the park both times. The vibe is immaculate--the decor is gorgeous and has a coastal, beachy feel that makes you feel like you've been transported straight to Monterey. Plus, their patio is absolute perfection for dog owners, complete with a dedicated "dog menu" for your fur baby! The food is phenomenal, but the service is truly next-level. On our first visit, we were blessed with Serenity as our server. She is the absolute sweetest and radiates so much passion for the brand's sustainability efforts. As a conscious consumer, it was incredibly refreshing to get that insider perspective. Knowing how environmentally friendly they aim to be, and how wonderfully they treat their staff, gives us all the more incentive to become regulars. For our second visit, the wonderful Gregory took care of us. He is simply the best and ensures you want for nothing! Now, let's talk about the food. Both times, we ordered a trio of dishes: - The Calamari: Hands down, the best calamari you will ever have. The light breading is perfection, and the fried lemon slices elevate it to another level (though we only got one lemon slice on our second visit--more consistency there would be amazing because they are addictive!). - The Guaca Poke: Incredibly fresh flavor! Our only critique is that both times we noticed a few stringy pieces of tuna, and the chips felt a bit like they were verging on stale rather than freshly made. Still delicious, but has room to perfect. - The Summer Sea Bass: Absolutely ZERO notes. We love every single inch of this dish. If you want something light, summery, and bursting with flavor, this is your holy grail. To drink, do not skip the Lychee Luau--it is an absolute must-order! We already can't wait to return with our pup to try their margaritas next. Cheers to a fantastic new addition to the neighborhood! read more

Unprofessional and Hazardous Dining Experience - Disregarding Child & Food Safety We dined here today and were seated at a table right next to the front reception/host stand, with my children sitting on the inside. Throughout our entire meal, the hosting staff continuously and aggressively sprayed alcohol/sanitizer right in our direction to clean menus and the counter. There was absolutely no barrier or shield between the host stand and our dining table. The chemical mist was constantly drifting directly over our food and toward my family. This is incredibly unprofessional and a serious health hazard. Spraying airborne chemicals so close to active dining tables--especially with young toddlers present--shows a complete lack of basic food safety protocols and common sense. We left feeling incredibly anxious about whether our food had been contaminated. Management desperately needs to retrain their staff on how and where to properly sanitize items away from customers. read more

I've been to multiple pacific catch locations - and they usually don't disappoint. From service, to food quality, and even though PC is on the pricier side, they usually give you a good amount of food in return - they usually don't disappoint. This location - super disappointed and will not be returning. To be fair, the staff were all super nice. The bad experience came in as follows: 1. The prices here are $3-$4 dollars more per item than all other locations I've been to. 2. That's fine, we ordered anyways and did not say anything. I ordered the mix catch - one of my favorite things here - what I got was a joke. A tray composed mostly of fries and some calamari, a tiny crab cake, and the smallest pieces of fish I've ever seen with fish n chips (one biters). I proceeded to consume the food but could not help but feel had. For $27, I got mostly fries, a handful of calamari, a tine crake, and two bite sized pieces of breaded fish. I walked out feeling really bad about the whole thing. Not only are their prices higher than other pacific catch locations, the amount of food they give you is funny for the price (little value) when other locations are so generous. I will not be coming back here - only reason for the two stars versus one is because the staff were really nice. 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

Had lunch at the newly opened Pacific Catch restaurant in Brea and it did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was excellent - very knowledgeable and personal. The food was awesome! Their salmon chowder is "off the chart" good. I ordered their warm lobster roll which I loved. I've tried other lobster rolls in Orange County and this far exceeds any others. We ended our meal with an excellent dessert. Can't wait to return!! read more

The restaurant is in the new area of Brea mall. Good food, but it's not cheap. Lunch can cost $75+ for two.

Traffic snarls, detours, sand and dirt everywhere. That's what kept me away from the front entrance to the Brea Mall. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a drive around. Not easy!! I was taken by the addition of a seafood restaurant. I went on line and saw it was open for business. When plans for dinner at Benihana had to be put on hold due to one of the guests illiness, my friend and I decided to try Pacific Catch. I made the reservation. Allow time to find parking!!!. I dropped Mickey off at the restaurant and went in search of a space. Mickey was seated when I arrived ! WELL IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH THE TRIP. Hannah, the best of the best, asked if we had any questions. We did and she answered all of them. She also saw that we were well attended. The Korean spareribs were out of this world delicious. We ordered tacos. Yummy! Brussel sprouts . The best I've tasted. And Hannah was always near to make recommendations. LOVE HER! The menu offers many choices and options. Happy Hour prices are reasonable as is most of the menu. Interesting menu. Worth coming back, especially for the Korean Ribs. Thank you Hannah for suggesting we try them. SEE YOu SOON!! Only wish the mall had more parking spaces close to the restaurants!!!! read more

Second time coming to Pacific Catch and I am hooked! Our server Mini was an absolute delight, she was so friendly and helpful. We ordered the piña colada and Mojito (nonalcoholic) and they were both very refreshing. The first time I came here I had the chirashi bowl, which was fresh and delicious. The shrimp taco was so good I ordered the three taco platter this time (not pictured), which was definitely the highlight for me. Great new place in Brea for amazing service and quality seafood. read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. We ordered a Wagyu Burger but were served a Salmon Burger instead. Mistakes happen, but our server, Eric, was rude about it and acted like it was our fault. After correcting the order, the wrong burger was still on our bill, and we waited nearly 40 minutes just to get the check because our server disappeared. And a different server HAD to help us GIVE our check like?? read more

irst, the food, staff, and overall environment were very calming and welcoming. My family was visiting from out of state, and they really enjoyed the food. However, as much as we enjoyed the food and atmosphere, there was a supervisor or manager named Sylvia (I think that was her name). Unfortunately, the way she treated the staff was very disappointing. She was especially unkind to the server and the food runner (the girl bringing the food out). Watching this made our experience uncomfortable. We had originally planned to return four more times during our visit at different days and times, but after seeing her attitude and behavior, we decided not to come back. It also made my nieces and nephew feel uncomfortable. Since Sylvia appeared older and more experienced than most of the staff, we expected her to guide and support the team. Instead, her behavior came across as harsh and disrespectful, which left a negative impression on us despite how much we enjoyed the food. read more

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

My daughter and I tried Pacific Catch for dinner. Excellent food and service. We had a small issue and the server and manager came over and resolved it instantly! Would definitely go back! Just a warning that the parking structure is not well-designed: very narrow aisles, slots are also narrow, and the traffic flow is very slow. Brea needs to work on that quickly! read more

Ambience top notch with the theme and decor. Mai Tai was "unique" flavor, not what was expected. Mojito excellant. Mango spicey also great. Mixed catch was loss of one star. It was good and above average, just not great. Poki was good also. The beef was perfect flavor. Service was on top of it at all times. read more
