Delicious food and the vibe here is wonderful. A must-go if you are in the Stanford area.We had the Surf and Turf with Shrimp and the Korean Steak. Both dishes were excellent, the steak was cooked perfectly to our liking but above all the flavors were fantastic!We would definitely eat here again.

Love this place. It started as a whole in the call in SF as one of the few places one could get affordable seafood. Now that they are all over the Bay some of that has been lost but they offer still a great menu with rather healthy items. The food is tasty, the restaurant looks brand new, service was fast. Only negative is that they messed up my order and my bowl came with the rice base even though I has asked for lettuce. Minor hiccup.

Food is fresh and tastes good. Many healthy options to choose from and some not healthy aka fried options also. Give it a try! Beware they add 3% fee.

Worst service I have ever experienced!During my recent visit, I placed my order with the server and he forgot to include one of the items I had requested. What made matters worse was the servers refusal to take responsibility for the error. Instead of taking responsibility for, he shifted the blame onto me, implying that I should have reminded him about the missing item when he came back to check on me. However, the server didnt confirm orders with me in the first place, I didnt even know there was missing item how can I remind him?I find it completely unacceptable that the server attempted to shift the responsibility into me. It is his primary duty to ensure that all items requested by the customer are included accurately. I dont have the responsibility to babysit the server to ensure they perform their basic job functions correctly.And compound matters, other servers were gathered chatting and failed to check if any customers required assistance. Made me feel my requests were being ignored.The whole dining service experience is far below the standards I expect when dining out, especially at a restaurant like yours.Hope you take this feedback seriously and use it as an opportunity to improve the training of your staff. It is crucial that your team takes ownership of their mistakes and works professionally to ensure a more pleasant and attentive dining experience for all customers.

Great food. Busy place, decently pricy but the portions are massive.Anyways to the food. Shrimp is really crunchy and tender past the skin and the sauce is perfectly sweet with a light kick.Fish was a bit bland and fries were normal.Thai iced tea was a bit bland.Calamari was goodWould come again.

We made a reservation for Mother’s Day and had a great time - food was decent, good drink selection, and a big shout out to our server who was attentive despite the big rush. What would normally be 4-5 stars is dropped down to 2 because a big chain like should not charge a living wage surcharge (3%). I will happily pay a bit more for my food if i know it means the bus boy can pay his rent on time, but I know for a fact they’re not paying their staff what would be considered a “living wage” in Palo Alto, so pretending like they need to pass that fee on to the customers is really trashy. CLEARLY if you have enough capital to have 14 locations and your owners’ net worth are in the multi millions, you can pay your staff a living wage. But acting like this is doing anything other than lining your greedy little pockets is really gross. The employees deserve better.

Korean BBQ with steak and ribs: The stake was amazing, the ribs were quite dry. The dish was overall quite tasty.

This seafood restaurant was one of the most popular one in Palo Alto area. But, the dishes were not good enough compared to their price. Poke bowl has two much rice and salmon steak was so blend. Only lobster and shrimp roll was good. The staffs are neutral: not rude but not so friendly neither. They rushed so much. I didn’t finish the last piece of bread but they took my plate. My wife and I had a lunch over there on April 12, 2023.

Service was great but food was not good. We had a sashimi plate that was a few thin slices atop like 400g of white rice with nothing to eat it with. The chicken in the chicken plate had the strangest non-meatlike texture I’ve ever tasted - can’t tell if it was some serious freezer burn or if that chicken had just been massaged to death, it was a bit alarming.

They just dont serve seafood. Their calamari is very tasty. Also ordered the Korean BBQ half and half ( half beef and half pork ribs) great flavors. Almost forgot about the clam chowder which was pretty good too.

The Pupu Platter was amazing! I especially liked the sticky ribs, which was very flavorful. Coconut shrimps, ahi poke bombs, and California rolls were also above average. We also had the mixed seafood grill that included salmon, jumbo shrimp, and white fish, Asian Herb Chimichurri styled and delicious as well. My partner enjoyed the kitchen fried rice. Dessert sundae was good. I loved all the items we had and will definitely go again!

A nice spot with a wide menu of options. My long time favorite has been the Wasabi Bowl with seared Ahi Tuna. The serving portions are more than adequate and the staff is very attentive. Definitely a win win in my book.

Here for light lunch with a friend. The host directed us to the table of our choice, which could be warmer regarding hospitality.The food was fresh and enjoyable.-1 star - for hospitality and attentiveness.

The food here is well cooked and the price is reasonable. The outdoor seating area is cozy and comfortable. I ordered Fresh Catch, with which I can choose a fish (I chose sea bass), a style (seasoning), and 2 sides (I chose broccoli and kimchi fried rice). Its quite delicious and perfectly grilled. I also ordered sweet potato fries which come with 2 types of dipping sauce, and thats yummy too. 😋

The food was just bad. I had ordered a fish and chips that was utterly disappointing. Food was not hot and the quality felt really bad. Just lots of average fries and sauce. Tacos were even worse. They were $9/piece and were not even worth half of it.I liked the ambience though. The place was clean and staff was nice.

Good variety of seafood dishes, freshly prepared, as well as a few land type proteins. We had ordered lunch, which included fish and chips, rainbow roll, sushi tacos, and a burger. Rainbow roll wasnt the strongest, but still ok. Friendly service and plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. After the meal, go for a stroll around Stanford shopping center.

Tired 2 taco platters with black beans, miso salad, chips & salsa, it’s tasty. The environment and decorations are comfortable. Nice location in the Stanford shopping mall.

Loved the food. The fish is extremely tasty and service really good. We got great recommendations and loved the halibut with chimichuri and crab and potatoes that we ordered. The brussel sprouts are by far the tastiest I have ever had. The sushi tacos were interesting too

Ive had a lot of good experiences here, but the bartender rang me up $15 for a michelada (its just beer plus zing zang bloody mary mix). Never been charged so much in my life for a michelada. Most of the cocktails on the menu were less than this. And Ive ordered micheladas at this location and many of the other locations (San Mateo, Sunnyvale, etc.) and never been charged this much. He even argued with me about it.

Overpriced for what we got. There are other fish restaurants with better food for less cost. Also the servers can do better to accommodate guests. We asked for our group picture to be taken and the server took one shot that sad to say was out of focus. Could have done better if he was more willing, like taking two or more shots. We asked nicely. Also we asked to be moved since the sun was blinding our guests. It is understandable it may not be feasible but could have exerted more effort to help in the situation. Anyway, there are many other choices in the area.

Trapped with high rating score. Serving two rolls took 24 mins, server took wrong order and replaced to right dish took 35 mins. Party of four dinner finished individually, yet had to pay medium high end price. Was restaurant busy? No, it was more than half empty and it was not surprising that why there werent many dinners at prime time.

Decent place. The kimchi rice was really good. The platter wasnt bad. I didnt like the coconut shrimp. Was a little too salty. Love the outdoor seating although they need to clean the dog hair off the benches.

Im normally not a fan of chain restaurants but this was a very pleasant surprise! My husband and I decided to try it after walking by and seeing the beautiful patio setting and very fresh and tasty-looking food - and we were not disappointed.Weve come here twice so far for dinner during the week of June 20th, soon after outdoor dining became allowed in the area. Although at the time of this review the Google page for this restaurant says that they do not offer dine-in, I can assure that is not the case. In fact, this restaurant has one of the nicest patio settings in Palo Alto so at the moment it might be my new favorite place for pandemic dining-out.The atmosphere is very pleasant and the decor is clean, modern, and a little beachy. Everything is well lit with fun string lights for the evening. There is plenty of patio space even for somewhat large groups and lots of small tables for couples.The staff are currently wearing masks and gloves, and seem to be taking the safety precautions very seriously. I saw several staff members change their gloves and our waiter, Danielle, informed us that she couldnt take our dirty dishes until the end, which made a lot of sense. (Thank you Danielle, you were very kind and helpful!)And most importantly, the food is just delicious! So far, weve tried a variety of fish tacos and fish & chips, as well as some desserts. The fish tacos have many options and are very flavorful and fresh. The fries include several options like sweet potato and seasoned. Today, we both ordered fish & chips and they were some of the best Ive ever had - and Ive had them before in Ireland! The fish is moist, creamy, and not overly fishy with a perfectly crisp coating. The slaw was very well seasoned and fresh.For dessert, I ordered the Hula Brownie Sundae which has a wonderful coconut flavor served with macadamia nut ice cream and delicious hot fudge. It tasted just like a Mounds candy bar in brownie form! Ill definitely be ordering it again.This restaurant is definitely worth a shot if you enjoy seafood that isnt too fishy, served with interesting flavors and fresh ingredients - in a pleasant, clean atmosphere with lots of outdoor seating.

Very nice interior and patio, bright and open throughout. The food was very good - seared tuna burger was cooked just right, and flavored as such. Very friendly staff - he even gave fried fish skin as treats to my dog, which he loved! This particular Pacific Catch is the best one Ive been to so far and a very nice addition to Stanford Shopping Center.

Delicious food and great atmosphere here at Pacific Catch! The tacos were amazing - guajillo shrimp, hot fish, spicy sriracha. The seafood platter and poke dishes were also very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend!

First time for my siblings, some of my nieces, nephews, and me to visit this restaurant chain’s Palo Alto location. We were not disappointed: the atmosphere was open and inviting, fresh air flowed throughout, wait staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Needless to say, quality, preparation, and presentation of each dish was excellent. We will come back!

The atmosphere is upbeat, and the service was well above average. Sadly, I ordered the fish and chips, which have been a staple for me many times before. The fish was tainted and unedible. I returned it immediately, and they politely asked what I would like as a replacement. Tainted fish is unacceptable and from any any fish restaurant. I declined. Even walking by you can smell the fish and its not appetizing. Fresh fish does not have a smell.

Ordered online for pick up. I get to the front of the restaurant and I tell the lady there (I guess the host) that I’m picking up and give her my name.She only points to a corner of the restaurant and says “go pick it up there” I get to were she pointed and I had to get my bag from a table behind a counter full of folded napkins and silverware (obviously a place where customers wouldn’t/shouldn’t have to reach out to grab their food.Is not my first time ordering take out from here so I definitely know I shouldn’t have gone to get my food from the back of the restaurant.

They forgot to add chicken to the chicken katsu...The waitress and host were very nice. Portions are fairly big, so the price point is actually reasonable for the quality of the food that youre getting. I would stick to ordering their seafood options. I tried their standard ahi poke and its on par with what youd expect from hawaii. Much better than the other poke places in the area. On the other hand, I dont recommend ordering their chicken katsu. I think they forgot to add the chicken in my chicken katsu. It was essentially just crispy breading and skin. I measured the thickness of the chicken and its only around half a centimeter. I was kinda surprised when i got it. The katsu was covered in a pretty good sauce that was sweet and garlicky like garlic chicken, but they drowned it in it and soaked the rice a ton. But yeah. They forgot about the chicken in the chicken katsu. Id give them 5 stars if i got refunded for the katsu, especially because the poke is good.

Pacific Catch continues to impress us time after time. Clean and rustic interior gives the vibe of a modern day beach house. The ceviche and pokes continue to exude Hawaiian influence. Fries fried to perfection with some type of a sweet mustard sauce. And then a fresh teriyaki bowl with fantastic mixture of ingredients. Top this with a crisp Maui Bikini Lager and that is the definition of 5 stars. I truly hope this chain, as it sprawls all over, does not lose its origins and how it came about to be great. By the way, did I mention absolutely reasonable prices?

Visited to try out this popular seafood-like restaurant. They do both in and out door dine in. Of course doing a health and safety guidelines to keep everyone cautious of what’s been going on. I think they were limited to about 50+ people occupancy. Mask required until you eat of course. Restroom for customers available, at least at the time we went. The food was a delight, visually respectable and the taste melted with seafood flavors. We had order the Spicy tuna, Cabo calamari, lobster roll and the Asian chimichuri salad with salmon. Definitely would come back for that Lobster Roll!!!After all said and done the shopping center is right around the corner, walk off the calories and see Apple and Tesla store.

Pacific Catch is of my favorite go-to restaurants in the bay area! All of the dishes I’ve tried so far are very tasty. It’s a great place for a nice meal without being overly expensive and extravagant. The servers here are always super helpful and personable too!Guaca-poke - their best shareable! This is a unique fusion and the tuna and guac go so well with each other. The house made chips that come with are also super crunchy and not oily at all.Fish and Chips - a delicious classic fish and chips of crispy alaskan cod. Always cooked to perfection every time I try it and the fries are a great side (but they make me super full hehe). The fish is battered and fried to perfection, crispy exterior and soft cod on the inside! For 2 people the 4pc order is enough especially with a shareable too and a side like we ordered.Miso-Butter Broccolini - great dish to get those veggies in! Nothing too special here but nicely flavored and cooked broccolini.

Been to this location a few times for lunch and dinner. Service is always good, but the food varies wildly. Sometimes its on point, well seasoned and cooked through. Other times, its under seasoned and overdone. Solid option overall with prices to fit all budgets. Usually has a table or short wait for small parties

Plenty of out door seating here and spaced well. Staff was great. Paper menu which is later used as place mat. They can take your number down and text you once your table is ready,. Payments are made at the table also. Food was good and presented well.

Absolutely delicious! We tried the Sushi Tacos along with miso soup, edamame and a side salad and were as happy as can be. The indoor space is airy enough to feel very safe in covid times, and theres plenty of patio seating too. Loved every minute of our visit.

Great open atmosphere as well as nice covered dinning along with large open bar.I ordered a simple 2 pices fish and chips for lunch came along with coleslaw. It was edible thats all I can say. Just a plain ol fish in batter not spectacular just lump of Grease nothing to write back home about. Nothing that screamed I gotta come back here again.Im not complaining but just keep In mind the portions are on the small side . Which is good I suppose a good thing but your not going to have food piled high at this place leaving with the belt unbuckled.The staff was not communicative at all they were but they werent. They were very friendly though. I like to hear okay sir your waitress will be right with you. I wasnt sure how to order if just go to the bar or if there was even any waitresses.Employees possibly stressed? I asked for untenciles and in a sort of unprofessional sorta struck a nerve kinda way said Im getting them . Perhaps I miss read her but could I get some ketchup!!?? Oh she dashed out before she could even hear.The uniforms here really blend in with casual clothes so it was little difficult to see who was who Im trying to make my order with.I tried to order a beer at the bar and he seemed to purposely turn his back a few times I hate when bartenders do that. I know your busy dude but a little acknowledgement goes a long way.Food came out really quickThey seem to have very fresh offerings I observed.I wasnt too pleased to be served what looked like the 5 year olds kids meal of fish and chips. 2 tiny pieces of fish the size of a business card soaked dripping in grease. I suppose I needed to next time order the 4 piece fish sticks instead.As far as price goes well that along with A beer that had Zero buzz but I suppose that keeps the the citizens in order and from becoming unruly my total came up to $23 dollars not bad price.Sometimes its difficult to find a good fish and chips sadly I couldnt find it in Palo Alto with a name like Pacific Catch. Ill be back im sure to try some of that 4 chip dip guaca .

This was one of the first restaurants I went to once outdoor dining became available during the pandemic. The seating area was really clean and new looking. There is a lot on the menu and there are some customization options which let you get exactly what you want. I had the Baja fish and Cabo shrimp tacos and both were delicious. The second time I came I had the fish and chips and the fish was super tasty, one of the best battered fish fillets Ive ever had. I tried both the brownie sundae and the dulce de leche spring roll. Both were great desserts and I recommend getting them!The server we had (Danielle) was very helpful and professional. Everything I ordered was delicious and I dont think you could go wrong by dining here!

The San Antonio one is much better. The service here is nonexistent. They get your food wrong and cant be summoned. The servings are also a lot smaller than at the San Antonio location. This place really just thrives off the location.

Korean bibimbap with Korean poke bowlFish (ahi) seemed fairly fresh and appeared to completely drenched in kimchi sauce. I liked the shitake mushrooms, it had a very light soy flavor. Kimchi was only pickle-y. Overall the bowl didnt have much flavor or texture contrast (just spicy), though there were a number of toppings. I decided to drizzle a little extra toasted sesame oil and extra sesame on top (at home).Very large bowl, shared between 2 adults.Ill try the tacos platter or rolls next time.Via DoorDash

I’ve visited about 4 pacific catch locations out of which Stanford is my favorite not only because of their food but mostly because they have one of the best servers Joyston. He knows the menu well and I’ve never been disappointed with the food suggestions he offers. This guy always has a positive attitude . Always a pleasure visiting this location

Great for seafood cuisine, service was somewhat slow and the chill factor outside was intense, gotta place those heaters a little better to cover all customers.Food was well made and presented, cocktails were large and sweet, Im more of a Scotch drinker myself.Good for upper class dining.

I do not know why I keep coming here, God awful customer service and mediocre food. Actually it us because this is the only place where an adult food can be eaten AND fish and chips is available (currently the only thing my toddler eats). So I learned that the kids serving is teeny tiny pieces so I ordered the adult size for $16, because I decided I didnt want to deal with it today. But Jesus christ they out did themselves today, we got 2 of the tiniest fish possible (even too small for a kids portion). Heres the best part of all when I told the waitress she said not all portions are equal then offered a free of charge 3rd tinier piece. And folks when the bill came, they definitely charged me extra for the meager scrap! Thats it, I have decided to let my toddler starve then eat at this black hole of a restaurant! See the photo, that is what $16 dollars got us, unaltered and un touched.

Tacos are just a bunch of cabbage on a BAD tortilla. However, the little amount of fish they had was extremely good. All the sides we also very good, I was pleasantly surprised by the spicy dip and black beans.Calamari? Chefs kiss!Fresh catch salmon? Superb!Good experience overall, I now know not to order the tacos.

We found the choices on the menu to sound creative on the menu but underwhelming on delivery. Beautiful atmosphere. Example: guacapoke a blend of guacamole with poke, but the poke seemed to only have a little salt flavor and stood out for lacking character or flavor. We were also limited by most dishes having pork or shellfish.

I have been here many times in the past, always good food and good service, this place had become our lunch place whenever we came to Stanford shopping center…Today was another type of experience. We arrived around 12.30 on Tuesday February 21th, The restaurant was relatively empty with less than half the seats taken. We asked for outside seating. There are two outside seating areas. One area was entirely empty. The other area had 2 empty booths,a table that was obviously about to get emptied as there were done with their food, and an empty long bench. The hostess seemed to suffer from a major personal conflict and didn’t want to serve us. She said there are no outdoor seating available, I pointed her to the booths, she said the booths are reserved.. I pointed to the table that was about to be available, she insisted that they had just arrived. She said we could only take the bench. We took the bench but the bench was uncomfortable for my mom. The table (which I had pointed to her) came available in less than 5 minutes, so I asked our waiter if we could move but the waiter told us he had already promised it to another customer wishing to change seats but offered us one of the empty booths. We took one…the hostess saw us and sent someone, a guy, to talk to us..He asked us with a serious look and voice “did you just seat yourselves”? We said no, the waiter told us we could take this boot. He said “ he has no such a permission” and that we can not seat there! offering no alternatives...Really, get your hostess checked for whatever issue she might be suffering from...It is only lunch! This is a casual place and the restaurant was quite empty! No need to behave like this, on a power trip!We left to go to another restaurant and will never come back…a restaurant makes profit and can stay in business by having customers, even better repeat customers like us… your hostess, with the help of your other employee managed to keep one more table empty at your relatively empty restaurant today and lost a repeat customer for good!

We were really looking forward to trying the food at Pacific Catch, however we left feeling quite disappointed with the quality of the food and the restaurant in general.We didnt appreciate the customer service. The host and waiter who served us seemed cold and we felt like we werent welcomed. The main dishes we ordered actually came before the appetizers. The Cabo Calamari was cold and too dry. The Wagyu burger was just so so.

Good food. Id rate this restaurant higher if it did 2 things: 1) List nutritional info of its dishes online and 2) turned ON the heat inside when the outside temperature is in the 40s. It was hard to enjoy our meal when it felt like we were having dinner in the Arctic! 🥶

Excellent choice for any occasion. Bar staff remembered us from a few weeks ago. Food is so fresh and really tasty. Can’t go wrong with any choice on the menu. Great selection of drinks. Location is terrific and the whole restaurant (indoor and outdoor dining), gives customers many seating options. Family friendly too. Staff are amazing - kind and generous with their time.

Good vibes. Good speedy service. Pretty decent food, but nothing memorable. Wasabi Poke bowl didnt taste anything like wasabi and it was mostly rice. Wagyu burger? Shake Shak serves better burgers. Came out to about $33/person.I hate when restaurants add the Living Wage Fee even if its just 3%. Just raise the price of the food. Then the worker also stood and stared next to me while I was entering the tip amount. Wouldve been a 4/5 without this experience.

Extremely cold and unfriendly wait staff and servers. Paid $120 for a meal for a family of 3, but the level of coldness just seemed deliberate. Maybe they were too busy or having a bad day but I dont think Ill be paying this much for such an experience. Never coming back to this location.

Excellent service and wonderful food. I’ve now eaten at 3 of their restaurants and have not been disappointed. The service was good and yes it’s best to make a reservation prior. I used Opentable and it was perfect. Trying to call and speak to someone is difficult but booking on line is easy. This was a business lunch of two GM and a CMO. It went very well and the food for two who were vegetarian went well. Thank you

The ahi poke bowl (ordered with extra protein which turned out to be extra poke) was excellent, with a well balanced complement of rice, seaweed salad and dressing, as was the salmon burger with a side of fries. But avoid the paltry coconut shrimp sharable appetizer, which was 9 tiny 25-to-a-pound pieces. The sticky ribs looked better and more substantial.All the drinks our table ordered were weak, as was the service. The drinks came staggered and late. The server wasnt particularly friendly or attentive (never refilled our water). Perhaps theyre understaffed.The prices were high but I guess reasonable these days for the location. There was plenty of outdoor seating.Overall this place is probably somewhere between three and four stars. Going with four based on the quality of the entrees.

Found this place by accident when doing a quick search for a restaurant in the area. My whole Family eats meat, and I only eat fish on occasion. This covers the whole spectrum of diets! You can mix and match foods with a multitude of options and cooking styles. My favorite is to choose a fish, choose the sauce its cooked in, and then choose the side dishes. Definitely the perfect place for people with different diets to all be able to have a fabulous meal together!

Excellent food! The calamari was delicious and flavourful and so was the sharing plate for two. It came with Salmon, Seabass and Shrimp and it was tasty, tender and delicious. The service was also very pleasant. The waiters took good care of us and I cannot fault the food. The sweet potato fries and Mac salad was yummy too! I will definitely be back!

Horrible.Im in town for work for an extended period. I had visited the Dublin location and had one of the best meals of my life.My family was in town visiting me and on their last night I told them I wanted to take them to this amazing restaurant with the best crab mashed potatoes.We ordered our drinks, food appetizer as we knew they were closing soon. As I walked to the restroom, I noted that the back of the restaurant had only one table and was much warmer. We asked to move and were told absolutely to move.We sat at the new table and were brought our appitizer before we had gotten our drinks. We had no plates and had to request them. Calamari was brought to the table without any lemon, even though it is clear it is served with it. We requested it, it arrived when we were 50% done with our meal.We were finally brought out drinks. Within minutes our meals were brought to our table. The food looked nothing like I had previously. I kept apologizing to my family for the lack of service and the poor food quality.Our waiter never once followed up with us. The meal was mediocre at best. We kept waiting for the waiter to stop at our table while we watched him repeatedly attended to the ONE other table in the restaurant. If you look at the photos I am attaching, youll see him in the background while our plates and napkins pile up. We waited for over 20-minutes once we finished our food and our waiter never returned to our table, but he would constantly go the another table and even though we called for him he would ignore us. Subsequently I had to go find a manager and complain on how bad the server was along with the food presentation and quality. The manager did apologize repeatedly to us, as he knew there was not much he could say.For this being in Pal Alto, you expect a higher quality, but that is for sure not what you get. If your in the area, avoid this location at all cost. The ky way I would ever recommend this location is if they fired the server and the kitchen staff, otherwise chose a different location!

Our waitress never checked up on us to see if everything was ok. Food was cold & stale. The tortillas could be more fresh. The sushi hardly had any salmon. When we addressed this to our waitress, she said its by weight. Whats the weight? 0 oz. The person who brought our food out kept looking at us suspiciously. We will not be returning.

Beautiful restaurant, and tasty food but it always is served at room temperature. Even the yummy miso soup. I had to ask for it to warmed up. Tacos are wonderful but everything is served lukewarm. Kind of a pain to have to keep asking dor hot food.

The food was incredibly delicious. I had the Westcoast Style Bowl with Grilled Salmon and most of it was amazing. Other people in my party were also very happy with their orders. The service could be better—most notably, one member of the staff knocked down the purse of a member of our party from her chair, presumably by accident, but didnt even apologize. Worst, though, is that there is a hidden Living Wage Surcharge in the bill. I know plenty of restaurants that charge prices for food well below what Pacific Catch charges, but if you honestly have a profitability problem, *raise your menu prices so you can pay your staff a living wage* instead of hiding a surcharge—the latter is sleazy and deceptive.

The staff at this location were very helpful. The kitchen was a bit slow though.Independent of this location, keep in mind this corporate chain restaurant serves more carbohydrates than protein. Every dish we were served was about 2/3s rice, chips, or some other carbohydrate. The raw ginger is very sweet too when compared to a traditional sushi restaurant.

Awesome ambiance and great selection of cocktails and food. Some items are a little pricey, but nothing crazy. However, I didnt like how they covered all their fish in either loads of heavily spiced batter or a few truck loads of slaw. I personally wont be returning, but your milage may vary.

The Scene: Black Friday 2022. Lots of people. Took 20 minutes to find parking.For the next 40 minutes, we first loaded up in caffeine at the Starbucks after our failed quest to locate the Blue Bottle Coffee. We then looked at a few other restaurants before coming to the Pacific Catch because of the long wait times. In about 5 minutes, we were seated.We ordered the fried calamari appetizer, the ramen, and the ahi poke dishes.Everything is delicious. The calamari was not too greasy or oily. The ramen was well-proportioned. The poke serving was generous and we had trouble finishing everything on our plate. Hara hachi bu. Eat until youre 80% full. We enjoyed the food.Because it was busier than normal, I think the servers were over-whelmed with the busy train of people. I would have preferred that they be more attentive but this being the year that things starts returning to normal following several years of shutdowns ordered by the SCC Health Department, they likely didnt know what quite to expect in terms of foot traffic and how much to staff up.Would come back again.

We.were excited to order from them but what a disappointment! The food is below average, The fish was similar to what you find in frozen food (rather thin pieces of fish with a lot of batter around it) and the fries were super oily. We also ordered fried calamari and they came swimming in their oil.... Portions are on the small side.All in all, a very disappointing experience. We will not go back.

The service here is horrible. Basically no services. We had to call a random person to order for us, fortunately that lady was nice enough to help us order food. We sat down for over 10 mins, no server no water not even a greeting. The servers were busy to taking care of other large parties, so our party of 2 do not deserve their attention.

I have been in the area for 1 week and i have already eaten here 3 times. I eat seafood often, but their complex flavors, well crafted plates, and quality of fish are simply amazing. They have the freshest seafood you can possibly get and the wide variety of options are exquisite. I took a meal to go and it was missing the chips for the ahi tuna guacamole. Jerry offered to drive it to me!! I felt bad for him to drive just for the chips, so i acknowledged the kind gesture but said its not worth the effort as it was only the chips. He took the tuna guacamole off the bill and even removed another small dish as a kind gesture! Mistakes happen, but Jerry knows how to keep a customer happy and make up for any issues along the way!Make sure to try the homemade blood orange lemonade! Every dish i had there was a 10/10!

During COVID Ive attempted to be easy on restaurants. Theyre having trouble hiring and keeping good people in every position, and wherever possible Ive been trying to call out the ones that seem to be going the extra mile to deliver a good experience. Unfortunately Pacific Catch wasnt in that category for lunch yesterday. We were seated in the covered patio area, and frankly it was really dirty. The floor under every table had food scattered around -- lettuce leaf here, french fry there, paper straw wrappers, etc. The tabletop at our corner seat was definitely not clean. I dont know if it had been cleaned in the entire midday period (our booking was for 3 pm). The prices at lunch for a piece of fish with sauce and one side is in the mid- to upper-$20s, so we opted for the small bowls (one salmon, one chicken katsu). Both bowls came on beds of greens that looked they had come straight from a Trader Joes bag, and it was all drowned in sauce. The service was good -- the only highlight, really.Not everyone can cook or serve, but anyone can clean. A big disappointment. Doubt Ill be back.

5 stars for Pacific Catch as a whole but this review is for the Palo Alto Stanford location in particular. We accidentally ordered takeout from here versus our regular Mountain View location and the mistake showed in both presentation and taste. We got the Guajillo shrimp bowl and the Westcoast Salmon bowl, ones that we frequently order from Mountain View and love. The shrimp was chewy, a few were still shelled, and they weren’t fully marinated. The salmon portion was about half of what we normally get and there were only a couple pieces of cauliflower - the majority of the bowl was rice and lettuce. Again, Pacific Catch is amazing and deserves 5 stars but make the trip to Mountain View and you won’t be disappointed. Also, side note: the blood orange margarita is delicious.

Salmon chowder was good. Unfortunately, that’s where it’s ended. The lobster roll was absolutely lacking any flavor. Rubbery and freezing cold. The salad super wilted and coleslaw tasted at least a week old. Fish tacos tasted bitter. The person who who came to take our dishes had his mask half way down. Will not go back.

This is the 3rd Pacific Catch location I have been to and its my favorite! The vibe and friendly staff definitely is the highlight. Came here on a Sunday at 6:30 PM. Inside was a 30 minute wait while outside there was 0. Even though it was cold to tonight the heater kept was pretty warm (we still kept our jackets on). The restaurant itself is very nice and clean with good asthetics. The service was fast and food came out quick as well with no complaints. The managers and servers were very nice, professional, and checked on us on a regular basis. I would definitely come back!

I would give it 0 starts. Terrible pickup service. I ordered pick up via the app and arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes after the app pickup ready time. There was a long line for pickup and no orders visible. I ask and they tell me that it will be out shortly. Now 45 minutes after the ready pickup time and they have not even put my order in and have the audacity to tell me that it will be another 30 minutes.The darn point of pick up is not having to wait. I left and told them not to charge me because I wasnt going to wait any longer. They still had the audacity to charge me even when the order was never made.Worst of all they expect a pick up tip!!! Really I have to pick my own food and pay you for it. Im already paying for food being cooked. What is next, an oxygen surcharge?Used to be a regular, but after this disrespect, I will never eat here again!

The menu looks delicious, cool blend of Mexican, Asian, and west coast flavors. Food looks good on the plate too. But theres not much flavor at all. The dish in the photo here (fresh catch with sea bass) was $27.Our server was helpful although a little brisk. I might come back to try the drink menu or some other dishes, but this time was a let-down.If I were in charge of the menu, I might try to narrow the asian flavors - there are Thai brussels sprouts and sweet chili sauce, Korean kimchi/gochujang/sticky ribs, Japanese appetizers (miso soup, edamame, etc) + wagyu and sushi, Hawaiian flavors, Vietnamese hot fish sandwich (play on Nashville hot chicken?). Plus Mexican flavors in the form of guajillo shrimp and elote corn. Its nice to see this kind of multicultural variety, but its hard to imagine thats its all being done as well as possible.

I am always skeptical about chains, especially when it comes to seafood, but Pacific Catch was a mind-blowing surprise. They got me at Poke, then got addicted to their Guava-Rita and finished the job with their Lobster Roll and the taco platter.I love going there for both my stay light meals and my food-coma ones. The former being one of their Pokes - light, fresh, with crunchy chips - the latter being the stuffing Taco Platter - with beans and fries - while the Lobster roll sits in the middle of the two extremes Id say.Their outdoor areas are always very well designed, with non-improvised heaters and nice firepits. The interiors of their Stanford restaurant are my fave, while you cant beat the location of their Marina spot in San Francisco.🍴 open for outdoor dining and drinking🌱 Vegan options available💵 $30/person for a main (Tacos or Poke ~$14) and a Guava-rita ($13)

If you have food allergies please do not eat here. They literally don’t care. If they make a mistake they will blame you for it OR try to pretend they remade it - but actually they just partially removed the allergic items. Their menu does not describe all their ingredients. Also they are quite good at lying at your face. Don’t trust and eat here if you have any kind of allergies or intolerance.

Pacific Catch at Stanford might be my favorite seafood restaurant. I love this space and the service. On a warm day, which there are many of, this place feels like Ive traveled to a Pacific island.

3 old ladies wanted to offer the meal to one of them . The bill was 60 $. ; one paid with a credit card without checking the amount she paid . I needed cash and paid with a 100 $.bill. The waiter brought me back à number of 5$ bills that I counted only at home :they were 8 and not 12, meaning that I paid also for 3 people and not two ! You don’t expect that in a place like this one

Check your credit card bill. Had lunch here, and the amount they filed was a different, higher amount than the total on the receipt. Not a typo, there were too many digits changed. Repeated requests for an explanation were ignored.Other than that - the food is really good!

Newly opened (Jan 2020) next to Cocola Bakery at the Stanford Shopping Center. I had a good time at their San Mateo location and was looking forward to trying it again.Pros: Attentive service, free sparkling water and edamame, good variety of items to choose from. Calamari was good (never had lemon slices in my calamari before!), and the fresh catch entree was enough for 2 portions.Cons: Not a fan of the single-page menu with tons of text. It felt very overwhelming and hard to navigate.Cocktail selection is just ok. We ordered a tiki old fashioned and a special on-tap mai tai that is supposedly nitrogen-infused before serving. The mai tai was served in a tall glass full of ice, which seems to defeat the purpose of adding nitrogen bubbles for smoothness.

Sticky ribs were great. But one point: they are under sharable appetizers but surprisingly small in quantity and $15. :/Two tacos platter was great.

Food is really good, fresh and well cooked. Reasonably priced. The place is nice and staff friendly. No loud music. Not (at least yet) overcrowded, like many good places. In short - the best place in that area. Recommend.

I used to love Pacific catch 5 years ago. Now only interior and personal are good. If you are looking for quality and tasty food - unfortunately it is no longer here :(

3-1/2 stars. Everything acceptable. Wished they had raised the prices 10% and maintaind the quality and serving sizes. Most people knew that ingredients had gone up quite a bit this year.

Worst service ever! Just lying to your face: saying no reservations on weekends and when you wait for 30min to get a table they say it’s getting free, they just give it to someone else saying: “it’s reserved”!Don’t trust a single world the receptionists tell you here!

The serving size here for the salad or rice bowls is huge. I could only eat half and that was stuffing myself to the brim. The quality of the food is excellent, service is prompt and they leave a bottle of water on your table.
