    Banana flavored Dulce De Leche with caramel sauce and warm cheesecake filled spring rolls
    Timothy H.

    Been about a week since I went to this restaurant, and I'm definitely coming back for the Sushi alone! I've never really tried sushi before, and this was a FANTASTIC introduction to it. The Lobster Roll on the other hand wasn't as favorable as I would've liked, to be honest. It mostly tasted...bland. Palatable, but that was about it. The fries and coleslaw were ok. The Banana Dulce De Leche and cheesecake stuffed spring rolls were the PERFECT desert. Second best dish I had. Service was very nice as well, very polite. And the restaurant itself was very clean and nice and cozy as well, despite how busy it was at 4:30 in the afternoon! The Lobster Roll was disappointing for me, but the Sushi carried HARD. The dessert helped out a lot as well! Will definitely be coming back in the near future!

    That is all the chips we were given. What's up with the Costco chips?
    Cat N.

    I am so disappointed in the pick up from Pacific catch that we did. We ordered the chips and guacamole side and they hardly gave us any chips and in fact half of them look like they were from the bag at Costco! I have a picture I don't understand what is happening with Pacific catch because we've always loved it but today it was just terrible. I'm so sad.

    came here around dinner time after class one day and was sat very quickly! our server came up to us after about 5 minutes of looking through the menu and we ordered an appetizer and two entrees. we got the poke gauc as an appetizer but i was a little thrown off that it came after our entrees were dropped. i got the mixed catch as my entree! the sweet potato fries and calamari were my fav of the meal :) the food was nothing to rave about but not bad either! i do wish the service was a little better though.

    First time here and I'm mad that I'm not a regular here. Came by during lunch with a big reservation of 15. We were comfortably sat along the entire right side of the dining area. The wait staff were great and very attentive while providing great recommendations for first timers. I got the coconut Parmesan crusted kampachi fish with asparagus and mashed potatoes. It was surprising how well the fish was cooked, super moist and flaky. My colleague got the poke trio and I will definitely be getting that next time!

    We love this place! Always really good options and the server was really friendly. The food was delicious, and the fish was really juicy and tender. The vibe is great, casual but elevated. They gave me a free bowl & free dessert for my birthday, definitely one of the more giving companies for birthday discounts. Was treated well, can't wait to go back!

    Use to come here a lot and it's definitely been awhile. I actually use to really enjoy this place. I came in for a solo lunch and have to say it was not the best dining experience. Everything was mid. I got a lychee luau drink which was terrible, that I didn't even end up drinking. It had way too much of the sweet and sour or whatever mixer they use. No lychee flavor at all. The calamari was undercooked and the poke bowl was not the best flavoring. I pretty much left after a few bites. Paid, didn't want to complain but also it was obvious that I didn't touch everything much or at all. disappointed that the waiter could see I didn't touch much but didn't acknowledge it either. Most servers do, in my experience. Needless to say, not somewhere I would go back to with all the other gems in downtown. ? Maybe it was an off day, but for the price of things I would expect a lot better.

    My friend and I were looking to meet up somewhere in San Mateo, and I just stumbled upon Pacific Catch (ok... when I say stumble, I mean I sorted by most reviews and purposely chose this). I gave my friend options, but she decided to go with Pacific Catch. I was game! The photos look good, the reviews are good... sold! We came on a Tuesday at 1130am, so naturally there aren't crowds out the door. I appreciated the fact that the host let us sit wherever we pleased - sometimes hosts still seat you (I get it... smaller area for the staff to walk around) even though there's literally 2 people in the restaurant. The table was clean, and waters were filled promptly. I was eyeing either the poke or salmon bowls, but we decided to get the poke + sweet potato chip app to share, and then that made our decision easy for our main entree. Both the appetizer and entree were so delicious!! The chips weren't oily one bit, and the flavor of the chip itself tasted so fresh, so amazing. It didn't need anything to dip, but the poke was oh so perfect. It had just the right amount of sauciness. My salmon over quinoa was perfectly cooked, the portions with everything else (avocado, turnip, lettuce) was juuuust right. I'm a saucy girly, and it was the perfect amount of sauciness. The only thing I didn't care for is that they gave me a huge, hard chunk of lettuce that I frankly tossed aside. Ain't nobody eating that - I feel like they stored that in there to make the plate look fuller ha! Waiter was attentive. Service was fast. I would definitely come back again! (And especially on the weekdays, where I can actually find parking in less than 5 min)

    We had such a great time and the food was so freaking good. The vibe was fun and relaxed, and overall it was a really good experience. Service was great too -- our server really knew the menu and recommended some really good dishes. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back.

    Shoutout to Everardo for being such an attentive, prompt, and overall great server! We came here around 7:45pm and sat at the bar. I ordered the barramundi sea bass and guava-rita. For the barramundi sea bass, I had the option to choose my style sauce (herb chimichurri) + 2 sides/veggies. I opted for the sesame green beans and French fries. The portions were huge! I definitely left full. The fish was so flakey and tasted fresh. It was well seasoned. The fries could use more seasoning but I dipped it with the sriracha aioli (I had to ask for it) and it made it better. The green beans had a nice soft yet crunch texture. I ate and left no crumbs!! My friend ordered the Serrano ahi poké and jala-pina margarita. She really enjoyed her food and ate everything as well. Overall, nice environment and staff. I would definitely come back and order this dish again.

    Guys, it's winter! Close the front door! It was 50* tonight (as in right now) with lows hitting 44... For those of us sitting anywhere near the front door, we have to put on our jackets. Also your HVAC is working overtime trying to keep it warm bc of the cold draft running its way through the place! Pg&e ain't free... Otherwise: food was good as usual lately. Love the Korean BBQ plate. It's my go-to item. See you guys again soon.

    Great service with a casual atmosphere of easy listening reggae music. Sea bass skewers & sea bass taco was excellent! Calamari was ok, more tentacles than rings. Halibut Fish & Chips outstanding! Cheesecake spring rolls with ice cream made for a sweet ending. Overall a great dining experience. Would stop in again for their happy hour 3-5 pm and also check out their $25.00 after movie special. Service was stellar! Marlo was exceptional with her attentive service and menu suggestions. Four Fabulous Stars for a great dining experience!

    The host at the front asked me if I wanted utensils but the bag didn't have any. My food also sitting on the counter for a bit as the host and a server had a conversation at the front. It's been a year or so since I've eaten here and that's because the service wasn't great before. A nice gentleman but a simple task like ensuring or placing utensils in the bag shouldn't be hard to accomplish.

    Happy Hour vibes from 3pm to 6pm. 3 stars for average. We had a great waiter. Their blood orange lemonade was great, their Nina coloda that we ordered because it was roasting outside is a no go. It's NOT blended, just mix dumped over ice for $7. Skip this. Their ceviche was good in their avocado salsa. Their friend fish tacos and shrimp tacos were hot and fresh. Great thai Brussel sprouts. Their steak Sriracha tacos were decent, a little chewy but okay. Their spicy tuna roll had a lot of rice, and the spice comes from the sauce on top instead of being mixed in with the fish which is odd. This is like a more expensive California Fish Grill. It's okay, but without happy hour be prepared to pay $2 to $5 more per dish. My coworker and I shelled out $100 for these snacks!

    Must-try birria spot - I keep coming back for a reason…read more This place is on my list of must-tries for Mexican food, and I've been here countless times at this point. The beef birria tacos are SO good like the flavor, the birria consomme, the sauce, the meat. Everything just hits right. This is a legit hole-in-the-wall kitchen, and that's exactly what makes it special. No frills, just really good food that keeps you coming back. Every time I'm craving birria (which is often), this is where I go. The quality stays consistent every single visit, which is huge. You know exactly what you're getting and it never disappoints. For the price and taste, the value is excellent. You're getting authentic, flavorful birria without paying sit-down restaurant prices. If you're in the area and craving some birria tacos, do yourself a favor and try this place. It's the kind of spot that turns into a regular rotation real quick. Trust me, I'm proof of that.

    Summary: Flavorful, but HEAVY…read more Details: They just opened up a new branch in SF, but we wanted an excuse to hit up San Mateo, and Latin American is always a good enough excuse. While photos of their SF location suggest some seeing, this OG location is pretty much pickup/delivery only: a fairly literal hole in the wall, located along a random quiet street. Most folks would probably opt to take home or eat at one of the "nearby" parks, but we've gotten in the habit of just eating in the car, which... not so great for something as messy as birria lol. I'll say that for most folks, this would probably easily be more a 4 star spot, while for us, it's more a 2 star since we're unlikely to come back. That's not to say the food was bad: on the contrary, the flavors were quite good, and the consomme was less salty than some of the others we've tried. But their food is HEAVY. Not just the birria itself, but also the burrito we got, and heavier than other places we've been for some reason, with the birria sitting in a pool of oil soon after we picked it up. This probably isn't a deterrent for most people though, so take this as you will. Accessibility: Not too relevant since this is really just a pickup spot, with the pickup window being at the usual height you'd find elsewhere.

It's a Mexican chain from AZ (popular I think, they have like 53K followers on Instagram), and they just opened multiple locations in Bay Area, so this time I decide to finally give it a try. I ordered the Tripa Mulitas, Torta, and Horchata drink, Mulitas was $7, Torta $14, and Horchata was $7. They're all delicious, I was actually shocked at the first bite because I didn't know Mexican food could be this great (like I ate at a lot of Mexican place before, but this place is just chef's kiss). You seriously have to try their torta!! It has grilled meat, cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato, all packed in there. Together with their green sauce, red sauce and some of the onion & jalapeno salad, I'm good for the whole day. The flavors are just so authentic and hit the spot perfectly. I totally get why there is always a line now. They officially converted me into a regular from today! If you see a crowd, just jump in line, it's worth the wait.
