A Japanese/Hawaiian fusion place. Some sushi selections, poke, rice bowls and a few other dishes for non-seafood lovers seem to all be good here. Nice large venue that seats big parties. Friendly staff. The rice bowl is very large, and has a generous serving of poke, if thats what you choose to top it. Our waiter suggested, and many other yelp reviewers do too, that we replace half the rice with the salad mix, and it led to a good balance, otherwise the rice may get too heavy, the bowl is quite large and pretty much will leave you stuffed.

Maybe I didn't order one of their better dishes but here's what we tried. The poke trio, some beef over rice dish, mahi mahi fish tacos, and vanilla icecream with crispy flauta like things and caramel sauce.. I think. Poke trio.. not bad. But it doesn't compare to what I've had in hawaii and it definately is not worth the price they charged for it. They gave so little poke. The fish tacos - corn tortillas were stale... and might I add... they double up on the tortilla for each taco which made it taste extra stale. I had to pick off the tortilla with each bite. But the fish was delicious... sauce on top was slightly sweet and creamy. Yum. The service - dude, we had coupons we were using and one of them included an 18% gratuity regardless of party size. The server, nice.. but it took him 15 mins to bring our appetizer. Another 25 mins to bring our main entrees. We waited 10 minutes for him to come by and take our order for our dessert. It took him 15 mins to come by just so we could ask for the check. Then another 15 mins for him to bring the rung up bill and cards by so we could sign the damn bill. Our party of 4 was there for 2.5 hours. Are you kidding me? We ordered... 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, and 1 dessert. That is a standard 1 hour and maybe an extra 10 min meal. Crappy food, below par service. Two thumbs down.

The location is good and I wish the food was as good. I've been there a few times and each time the service lacked and the food was just ok. The portions are on the smaller size and the prices are on the higher end which make it harder to justify going back.

Skip dinner and go straight for dessert. I tried this place out while here for a work trip. For the entree I tried the fish and shrimp tacos. They were okay, but nothing to write home about. Also, I thought the goldfish and edamame they put on the table was strange. For what dinner lacked, dessert more than made up for. I had the dulce de leche cheesecake spring rolls. OMG! Seriously, do not plan on sharing this with anyone. These are out of this world!!!

I visited this place yesterday for a late lunch as I have heard about their food but never got to try it out, until now. We were seated in the patio area upon request and were delightful to know that they are dog friendly which was fantastic! I started out with an appetizer and ordered the Let's Get Saucy sushi roll. This roll was a pretty good size appetizer roll that consisted of tempura spicy salmon and albacore topped with tobiko, green onion, sriracha aioli and eel sauce. This roll was very good and only my stomach conscience prevented from getting another one. For entrees, the Kalua pork sandwich and the grilled salmon salad were ordered. The sandwich consisted of slow cooked pork with a pineapple slaw on the side. The pork was flavorful and juicy on its own and the whole meal was served on a piece of cooking paper that had the image of a page of a Hawaiian front page newspaper from 1901, which was pretty cool. The salmon salad was very unique in that the croutons were made out of crispy salmon skin, which I thought was a super creative touch. The salad also is a pretty sizeable dish so do not mistaken it for an appetizer or else I hope you have a big apetite! I really enjoyed my experience here and thought it was a solid and memorable meal. I will come back here again as soon as possible as there are a few other entrees I really want to try. Give this place a try. I did!

After seeing the very positive reviews, I had pretty high hopes for this place that I was going to try out with my family. Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations at all. The waitress had an air of "I don't care" or "I don't want to be here" and the service was, dare I say it, the slowest I have ever seen a restaurant go. While we were waiting, we chatted and had some of the edamame and pretzel goldfish they had as snacks. After those were basically gone and what felt like half an hour had gone by, we had very little patience and were saying, "This food better be worth the time we spent here." After the food arrived, my family and I were starving and we dug in. We only ordered 3 mildly simple dishes: a plate of raw fish with chips on the side, salmon chowder, and a bowl of Korean bbq rice with small slices of steak on top. (Sorry, I don't remember the names, but you get the gist of it). I didn't expect the chowder to be made on the spot and I expected a slightly bigger portion, but the taste was only average and kind of strange and the bowl only contained the amount a kitten would eat. The beef bowl was also average and I had tasted others way better with a smaller price and better service. And lastly, our appetizer that should have been here first, was just raw fish dipped in some sauce and chips that you could buy from any grocery store that could have been served in less than 5 minutes. Slow clap. Though I may not be an expert, this restaurant is mediocre and if you still want to eat here, go there early or make a reservation because the wait takes a while.

Really love this place with friends, for date night, even a solo lunch at the bar. I've never been disappointed with the food even slightly. I love the macadamia nut poke, ceviche, fish & shrimp tacos and fish and chips are a favorite. Their salads are nice and entree-sized with all the fixings. I'm not so big on the cocktail list here and usually order beer or wine instead. My one grievance is that when I come in toward the end of service I've been sat at the half round booths near the bar and service tends to be pretty inattentive. I've grabbed myself utensils and napkins more than a couple times. Despite this I always leave satisfied and return time and again for the vibe and great food.

The two taco plate ( one shrimp and one cod) served with the warm black beans and a fresh salad with a light yummy dressing was a perfect lunch! Service and ambiance were nice too.

absolutely love coming here for happy hour when I don't have work. Prices are very reasonable and the drinks are super strong! This time I ordered the calamari and california roll and they were both delicious! The calamari is crunchy and a little bit spicy and in the california roll they use real crab! Even better! I've also tried their Korean Ribs, Poke, and baja taco all very delicious. I would come more often if I didn't have work during happy hour.

Their starters and tacos are perfect for eating light or for post-workout meals. Splurging on their fresh entrees is always an option too. But I haven't. Yet. Tacos are sized well here and are packed with flavor. With crispy sweet onions and Sriracha aioli, the Pacific Steak taco is something I'd come back for. The marinated grilled steak was so tender.... enough to bite into the taco and NOT have everything fall out on the pull. The Crispy shrimp taco had large pieces of shrimp and worked well with jalapeno tartar and lime. The Traditional Baja taco lands up there with one of the best fish tacos I've had, although I've only had a few in my life. When it comes to ceviche, there's always a fiesta in my mouth with their Baja shrimp ceviche. This ceviche has a nice kick to it, with noticeable lime and cilantro flavors. And they don't skimp on the shrimp! I just prefer the shrimp to be chopped or sliced rather than whole. The Peruvian ceviche with fresh mini scallops was a bit too wild for me....in a good eye-opening way. The ginger and serrano chillies stood out with just one bite. Goes very well with the purple potato chips. I can never turn down Hawaiian Poke. During my most recent jaunts to PC, I thought their Ahi tuna was just caught and slapped on the chopping block. Fresh indeed, with simple seasoning and served with fried wonton chips....I could eat this forever. And ever. Thanks to their chalkboard daily specials, I had the opportunity to try their pineapple upside-down cake....and it was excellent.

I have went here three times and they all have been pleasant experiences. The servers are very attentive and timely. The first two times I have ordered the hawaiian terriyaki with skirt steak and it is like heaven in my mouth! Except I need to warn you, it's VERY heavy and very filling. I was in a food coma the two times I ate those bowls. It was worth it though. The third time, they had a special macademia crusted halibut with puree purple yam. It was really great. If you go and they still have it, take it! It's delicious. The price is reasonable for a really good meal. I love how you can always customize your dish with many substitutions and it'll still be the same price and the servers are understanding.

Expensive for what you get. Tried the sweet potato fries appetizer, then got a chicken chipotle sandwich with regular fries. fries were fries, good, nothing amazing but solid crispiness. Chicken was okay, the chipotle sauce was basically mayo since it didnt have alot of kick to it. Wife had poke and sole and a glass of wine, her favorite thing was the wine and the rest were just okay. Bill was , with tip, about 70 or so bucks, so expensive compared to other restaurants.

Good service, good food, good prices, good menu. It's a winner. A group of six of us went there recently and were very happy. I'd been there earlier in the week and was the one who recommended it as a place for a group dinner and I wasn't disappointed. the one complaint from several of our group members was that it was hot. We were in a booth that seemed to have no air flow at all. There's not much the wait staff could have done so we didn't bother to ask for relief.

They have a nice patio area that also provides some level of privacy from the street. Few options for vegetarians but they do have some good stuff. I liked the Sunset rolls. Meat-eaters in the group said the Thai curry and Salmon were delicious too. The fried lychee spring roll ice cream is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. One of the best deserts I have had.

This place was recommended by my boss. Sooo delicious. I had the Hawaiian Teriyaki Bowl with skirt steak, so good! I had the 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 greens and it was still a lot of rice and very filling. I'll definitely be back!!

I dined here recently and was taken aback by the decor and the ambiance of the restaurant in a very good way. The bar area is very roomy and the bar staff are very attentive to your needs. The staff in general provide excellent service. The food was really good. You can also tell with the wait time that the head chef definitely has a great grip on providing quality food in a timely manner. I had several items at the restaurant - Mixed Basket - Cod filet, breaded shrimp, and breaded oysters Specials - Calamari and Black Pepper Shrimp Beers - Sapporo (On Tap) and Hinano (Bottled) The items came out in a timely fashion and the beers went superbly with the food. I'd definitely would return to this place and see the influence of the head chef on the internal culture of the restaurant.

This is the best restaurant in the South Bay. If you love fresh fish, sushi and Hawaiian poke, combined with fresh vegetables and other healthy and tasty ingredients, you will love this restaurant! Excellent service and very modern decor as well.

Mediocre service with mediocre food. Thought the selection was pretty limited and the menu was kind of pricey, and the servings were on the smaller side. That being said, the meats were pretty good and the greens were fresh. Rice was good, and the overall flavor combination was good. Teriyaki meat (salmon, chicken, steak) on salad with brown rice. Seems healthy.

I am not your usual seafood lover (in fact I pass by as a fish eater when I only eat Tilapia). My wife (who loves seafood) usually has to find a place that serves non-seafood options to be able to enjoy when she craves for a fresh catch. However, on this instance, she insisted that I come along to Pacific catch. We ordered a taco combo and thai curry with mahi-mahi and to my wife's surprise, I was binging on the 2 entrees like a hound. This is by far the best fish grill place I have ever been to (even beats some amazing places in Hawaii) I am coming back here again with my whole gang.

***3.5*** We've been here twice. The first time, I had that "falling-in-love" feeling with this place. You know, when you think you've found that hidden restaurant gem you've been searching for. I looked at the menu and everything seemed to be right up my alley. It's been a while since we've been there, so I'm somewhat hazy on exactly what we ordered. But I do remember my favorite thing on the menu. KOREAN STICKY RIBS I am obsessed with them. I ordered them both times we were there. They are perfectly charred, and the sweet glaze is heavenly. I need to replicate these at home and I am planning to do it soon. TUNA POKE BOWL--My daughter's favorite thing to order at a place like this. But it failed to deliver. For one thing, the sushi chunks are not cut uniformly and are a bit oversized. Some of the pieces looked slightly mashed and other pieces didn't. That doesn't make for a good-looking poke bowl. Another downside was there was a slight sliminess to the tuna. Sushi should NEVER be slimy. Big turn off for me once I tasted it. One bite was enough. I'm struggling to remember what my wife ordered, but I think it was some kind of raw fish taco if I'm not mistaken. I remember her liking the dish, and she may have ordered the same dish on our second visit back. And I ordered a cocktail here that the waiter suggested. Caught me by surprise because it looked like a girly drink, pink in color. Actually, it's the drink that is pictured in my Yelp profile picture. Nice looking drink, but a little too cute for a man of my machismo. Kidding!! Bottom line, we will probably come again. That is, if I can convince my daughter to come back. I think she was the only one disappointed with her order. But I do think this place has more to offer. I would like to explore their menu and I would LOVE to encounter those Korean Sticky Ribs again, and again and again. I could eat a whole rack of them.

I loved their SF location for the food, and this is the same quality food but with a bigger menu and much bigger, prettier location. I'm a big fan of the poke wasabi bowl but I do wish they offered some strong japanese green tea to enjoy it with like they do in SF, all the teas here were too fancy and flavored, just one regular green is needed. But really I should not complain about a thing. They have outdoor seating, some of which is pooch friendly, great service, a very modern comfortable setting and did I mention the food is excellent? Good stuff.

I'm glad I made reservations ahead of time - this place gets busy in the evening! This restaurant has a wide array of seafood options to choose from so if you like Asian fusion cuisine then you'll probably like what's offered. The service was pretty good, especially considering how busy the restaurant was when I visited. Price-wise it's pretty much on par with what you'd expect for seafood. I recommend it, but make reservations ahead of time!

I'm in love and I don't care. :) We were lucky enough to dine here when they first opened and got VIP complimentary dinner service just to try out their menu and let them know how we liked everything. Let me just tell you, I already had a HUGE crush on Pacific Catch after that night. But of course, it could have been because our delicious meal including dessert was on the house. BUT, we left a fat tip that night anyhow because service was definitely top notch. I made reservations for Sunday lunch here (yay to cheat meals!) the weekend of my most recent NPC bikini competition. Why did I choose Pacific Catch? Cuz it's extremely close by to our place, the ambiance isn't too casual and isn't too pretentious AND I honestly think they have a stellar seafood menu + gluten free menu with affordable pricing! Surprisingly, their afternoon wasn't completely packed as I expected. The outside patio was pretty full but our group of 3 dined inside. I really love the contemporary decor here and the fact that it never really gets that loud there. I think it's the open floor plan and the super high ceilings that help. Our server was extremely friendly, courteous and moved at an efficient pace. Just the way I like it. After seeing so many Yelpers post the pictures of their Ceviche Trio appetizer plate, I knew that's what I wanted to start off with as our appetizer. And NO WONDER everyone orders this plate, all 3 servings of ceviche and the chips that accommodate each serving was excellent! I loved the spice in the Baja shrimp ceviche and the shrimps they had in it were HUGE! The Peruvian scallop ceviche came with the best taro chips (I'm a huge taro fanatic, I couldn't stop munching on those) and last but not least the Hawaiian poke with the light and airy wonton chips was also a HIT for our table. For my entree I ordered off the gluten-free menu. Why you ask? Just cuz it's a "cheat meal" doesn't mean I'm gonna force myself to bloat up and look like a cow leaving. Hehe! I ended up with one of their Pan Asian Rice Bowls: I got the Mahi Thai Curry w/ brown rice. The server was smart enough to ask me if I wanted to do 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce, that way there's less carbs. I wanted to hug the guy after that! When my heaping bowl of goodness came out, it seriously smelled so fragrant, I couldn't wait to dive right in. And, I did! The sauteed eggplant w/ red bell peppers, long beans toasted coconut and crispy shallots melded together so wonderfully with that green curry sauce. And the mahi was definitely LEAN and MEAN, just like me. I was trying to see if I should just eat 1/2 of my entree and bring the rest home but it just tasted so good...I devoured every drippity drop! I wish I could have ordered dessert there like we did the last time. Cuz lemme tell ya, their Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" w/ vanilla ice cream doused in caramel sauce is bombdiddalyumptious! Pacific Catch, you are now on my Top 10 list of places to eat. Like I said in the beginning, I'm in love and I don't care. (:

I've never tried Hawaiian Poke before but so many people said many good things about it. I searched up some pictures on instagram and many results came up from Pacific Catch. I checked out their menu and looked at pictures of their food and it all looked so delicious. I finally got the chance to go and the food was so delicious. I wanted to try everything there! The waiters were very friendly, funny and nice. I also love how the place looks and the atmosphere is really relaxing. I will definitely come back!!

I was looking for a last minute place for dinner within that area that specialized in seafood and this place came up. Pros: Hawaiian Poke: These dishes are amazingly good here. The fish is fresh and its perfectly seasoned and dressed. My favorite is the California style poke because of the fact they used real crab pieces. Plus the tobiko in the California poke added for more of an extra crunch and savory flavor. Seating and Ambiance: The place can get loud, but the decorations has a great modernized touch, which is great for all occasions. The place is a good size to come in bigger groups as well. Cons: Service: Service was really lacking considering I went during the hours when it wasn't busy. It took forever to get my order in and even longer to get my check. I'm hoping it was just a bad day I went on. Food: Although the poke was delicious, I was not too impressed with the fish and chips, which is supposed to be their specialty. The coating was too bland with not enough crunch. The sushi rolls are plain, nothing special. I normally don't order Sushi from New American Seafood restaurants, but everyone was ordering at least one roll, so it was tempting to see what was so great about it. Overall, I would only here to have my poke fix.

Stopped in for lunch with a friend a month ago. Our waiter was very friendly and knew the menu well. We ended up ordering the Hawaiian Poke trio and a fried coconut shrimp entree to share. All of our food was absolutely delicious!! I have been craving the poke ever since! Will definitely be stopping back soon.

This place used to be good. Last night we spent $100 for 3 people without drinks and got plates of lukewarm rice and vegetable served with slightly chemical tasting sauce and tasteless fish. We were quite hungry and in no mood to send it back since it was 9 pm. The service was sparse though adequate. Not going back.

This restaurant is really modern, clean and nicely decorated. Dined here Thursday night and the place was packed, make sure you make resos on yelp! The food here is superr fresh and yummy. Between the bf and i, we shared the hawaiian teriyaki skirt steak, three taco platter with spicy fries and sweet potato, a side of wakame salad and an arnold palmer (best I've ever had). They were so nice and split our meals for us :) I would highly recommend everything. Portions are deliciously huge because we found ourselves struggling to finish our food. I love that they do substitutions/ mix and match! Oh and they have sriracha for you sriracha lovers!

I really love the Hawaiian touches here. We waited for about 20 minutes on a Saturday night. Get their clam chowder, its delicious and full of clams. Everything is super fresh and yummy. I got the Serrano poke which has a nice kick to it. At the time it was restaurant week, they offered a 3 course meal for 35 bucks when the seafood plate was already regularly $28. Service is good, very friendly servers.

The food was good. My boyfriend and I got the California Style Poke which I thought was the best dish. We also ordered the Korean bbq pan Asia rice plate with skirt steak--it was good, flavorful but heavy on the sweet sauce. The last dish we ordered were two tacos...I'm not too sure what they were exactly but we got one with fried shrimp and one with steak, along with a side of sweet potatoes. These were super messy to eat and definitely not memorable. By the end of the meal, both tacos were pretty soggy and were falling apart--I didn't enjoy eating them in particular. I do think that you get what you pay for: the ingredients are plentiful and of high quality, so no complaints there. The interior is cute and I like the idea of lamps made out of the same water bottles they have. Not super dark either! Yay! The service wasn't exactly spectacular, though. Maybe because we were a college freshmen and a high school senior (and look like it too), but we felt like we weren't paid attention to quite like the other guests there at the same time. It would take forever for us to flag down a server to get the check, and every time we would talk to our waitress I felt like we were being attacked...she was a pretty pushy saleswoman! Talent! But annoying. It was as if she thought we could be suckered into buying more food because we weren't as "experienced" as the older guests...which we aren't I guess but please make your aggressive marketing more discreet lol. Overall not displeased but not impressed either.

I'd come here just for the poke and drinks. I didn't like this fish plate I got that's supposedly closest to the Hawaiian butterfish.... Which was a huge disappointment because it was super dry and hard to swallow.

I sort of came here on a whim for lunch because I had seen some friends who came here and raved about it, and of course the nice 4-star yelp reviews help. My coworker was down so we made the trek out here to Campbell's prune yard (bracing the busy lunch hour!) to grab a bite. We were quickly sat down as we arrived before 12, but after 12 I noticed the place getting quite packed and people were waiting for seats in the front so I'd recommend you come here early. We grabbed an order of sweet potato fries while waiting in the back.The fries were good, I liked the sweet and sour dipping sauce especially, but felt like at $6 it was a bit overpriced for the portion. In general, for lunch, this place is pricey. I don't know if their prices stay the same for dinner, but I think in general $15/plate for a sit-down place for dinner seems to be pretty reasonable, even cheap ... but $15 for lunch plus an appetizer makes it almost $20 before tax and tip and that .... is a bit extravagant for lunch IMO. Despite the price tag, I liked the place, their fish was delicious, and everything was fresh, tasted great and well prepared. My only complaint is that my Korean BBQ bowl had so much sauce on the bottom, and it was SO salty I thought I was eating a spoonful of salt instead of a spoonful of brown rice. It was so bad I left the rest of the rice in the bowl and didn't end up eating it. Next time I'm going to ask them to go easy on the sauce or maybe ... not at all! In the end, I'll definitely be back to try other goodies, and maybe even their attractive looking happy hour!

Trishia P.
Yeah I love this place!! Was initially drawn into eating lunch there for some grilled fish! The name sold me from seeing it while making a right turn. The first time I went I got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, coleslaw and a salad. Super delish! The Ahi Tuna sandwich made me super full---just half. I ended up eating the other half for dinner. The next time I went I ordered the Poke Trio (it had a special price on the menu that week). I got the Lomo Lomo (salmon poke), White Tuna (flavored with Yuzi) and Traditional Poke ("red Tuna). All of them were delicious, but the the Traditional can't be beat, Lomo Lomo was interesting and the White Tuna although had tons of seasonings the flavor still came off too "fishy" for me but was still delicious, jut too much fish after taste when I'd swallow. Came with seaweed salad. Yum. Also, made me full I had half again to give my brother for dinner. (He's a SJSU student, so I know he needed a change from the commons). The waitress second time around was really busy and felt she didn't give us adequate service. She was great for being busy, but I think she thought it was cute that me and my baby bro were super catching up during lunch so she gave us a complimentary dessert on her. How sweet. We ordered the Mochi Fondue (vanilla, chocolate and coffee mochi ice cream balls with chocolate pocky sticks for dipping and warm chocolate sauce) Super delish. What's nice is when they greet you, they give you edemame's and pretzel flavored goldfish crackers to munch on while you wait. Decor is modern and this restaurant is super spacious.

Let me start off by saying that the staff there was wonderful. The baristas not only bartended, they waited tables, and bussed them too. They have bussers, yet the bartender went out of his way to clear the tables of empty cups (possibly because they were low at the bar). The manager even popped his head in at our table to make sure that we had everything we needed. We tried their fish and chip platter, which was made with white cod. The first couple of bites were good, but after that the fish began to taste more and more bland. It came with fries, which you had the option of getting sweet potato, regular, or spicy. I was hesitant in trying the spicy ones, but the waitress recommended that I get 1/2 and 1/2; out of the two, the spicy ones were my favorite. The regular fries could have stayed in the fryer a minute longer because mine were a tad bit under cooked. We also ordered the Lets Get Saucy roll, which is ABSOLUTELY a must try. It was $7 during happy hour and well worth every penny. Overall I'd say that I would try it again, but they definitely need to step it up on their seasoning of the fried fish. I love seasoning and plain fish just isn't the business. -I did catering for a couple of years, and I truly appreciate good customer service. So I have to give credit to my server Tatum, she gave great recommendations along with great customer service, and a smile. *Their outside seating looked very serene, but it was just too hot to not sit inside with the nice cool AC.

The food is pretty expensive, especially for appetizers! But pricing doesn't do justice unless the taste is impeccable to match. In this case, I thought the restaurant lacked. For starters: Sweet potato fries: Similar to any other restaurant Pacific Ceviche Trio: Pretty freakin' expensive as I only like the Hawaiian Poke out of the three. I thought the Baja shrimp was so sour and the Peruvian is not memorable. I do love that they were all served with chips. Oyster Basket: Yummy! The fries were whatever, but I really liked the fried oysters. My favorite dish and most memorable. Entrees: Special of the day - forgot the actual name but it had swordfish. EXTREMELY dry, wouldn't get it again. Hawaiian Teriyaki ricebowl: Nothing special not great or memorable Korean BBQ ricebowl: ^ It was VERY annoying when we had to chase down the server to get the check -- probably stopped checking up on us 30 mins prior. I understand the restaurant is busy on a Friday night, but they don't call it a job for nothin'. I wouldn't come back again.

I had the 3 taco plate with chicken and it was DRY! Our waiter took forever with our bill, napkins etc. My sister and I had the cioppino too along with other drinks. cioppino and our drinks were good and so was the cioppino. Everything was $75 which was pretty darn expensive for below average food. I love the restroom though. Very nice and clean, but not the food.

I really like this restaurant. There is outdoor seating and some good seats in the bar area as well. The food is very good. They have excellent rice bowls. The Korean BBQ bowl with sticky ribs is one of my favorite dishes. I also love the fish tacos. They have a variety of dishes to choose from. Service is good, and there is usually not a wait to get in. Great place for lunch or dinner!

Been to Pacific Catch three times now, and each time it has been fantastic. I always go with whatever the waiter/waitress recommends. Each time, they are spot on and very willing to make suggestions. Yesterday, we tried crab and shrimp dumplings which were cooked perfectly. There was also a Sole dish, which is on special this week and next - and if you see this before it's too late - GO! Go. Go now. I'm not sure of the name but it was the best fish dish I've had. No joke. GO!

After waiting 45 minutes buzzer goes off, go in and hostess tells us it was an accident. I specifically ask her if it needs to be reset and was told "No, it will go off again. You have 1 party ahead of you." After a few parties get seated I approach and ask again and sure enough our name was ERASED off the list! So after waiting over an hour with 2 small children you can imagine how upsetting this was. The staff is overwhelmed at the front with phone calls, to go orders and people waiting for seating on a busy night. I believe at that point it was the manager who steps in and immediately seats us. He is apologetic and comps our trio poke appetizer which was very tasty and probably the best thing we had. These were all the correct moves and along with the friendly waitress and decent food it saved them from getting just one star. Hubby had their special cod for the night and I had the Korean sticky ribs. Both were just average. Summary: -hostesses need better training -decent, but a bit overpriced food -very loud inside, hard to have a conversation

4.5 stars to be exact and the only reason why it isn't 5 stars is because of the awkward booths in this place. I came here on a date and she has to eat from a gluten free menu and Pacific Catch was a great match, We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer and tasted great. I optioned for the fish and chips (Fries & sweet potatoe) fries and tasted excellent. My date ordered the steel-head fish with brown rice & asparagus and looked equally yummy. Overall I was pretty impressed with Pacific Catch as well as she was and we plan on returning again real soon.

*Warning - Long Review* I am only writing a long review here because our experience was atypical for dining somewhere for our first time. If everything was fine and dandy, my review would probably be short and be just about the food, but this was a little different. My husband, our friend, and I came here for our first time for lunch. We made a reservation for noon because it was available on yelp and we didn't know how busy it would get. I arrived and said to the host "I have a reservation, but the other 2 in my party are just finding parking" he says "ok" and doesn't tell me to have a seat or if he is going to bring me to a table or anything. I didn't know if he was going to take us to our table or if another server would, so I just took a seat. Every party that came after me, he would ask "Would you like to be seated now, or wait for your party?".. Would have been nice to be given that option too.. I feel like he could have been more.. approachable. Once the rest of my party came, we got seated right away. By the time our server came by to check on us and if we wanted drinks, we were ready to order. I got the Korean rice bowl with 1/2 salad, 1/2 white rice with salmon and sticky ribs, and my husband and our friend got the poke sampler. Once I got my order, I gave one rib to my husband and one to our friend. My husband found saran wrap plastic with his rib. This was after I was done eating half my bowl. I told the server and he took the plastic and brought it to the attention of the kitchen and manager. The manager came out and apologized, offered a replacement, but I wasn't in the mood to finish the rest of my bowl. He explained that the ribs are pre-portioned with saran wrap and it must have not been taken off correctly. He took the entree off of our bill, which I appreciated. The ribs had more of a chinese 5-spice flavored glaze to it than a Korean flavor. I liked it fine, but it wasn't what I expected. The salmon was ok, nothing special. I'm glad I got half salad because they do give you plenty of rice, even if it's half portioned. Overall, the bowl was a pretty big portion. My husband and our friend said the poke was good, but still didn't beat the fresh poke we've had from Kauai. My husband said some of the poke seemed like it was marinated too long and some of the poke was fresh while some didn't have that "fresh" texture. I decided, since this was our first time there, I wanted dessert. We ordered the dulce de leche spring rolls, the brownie sundae, and pressed coffee. Since we had a good view of where the food came out for pick up, I saw our desserts ready for us. The desserts were just sitting there for 15-20 minutes and they still have not brought it to our table. I would have thought, that maybe if another server saw that this dessert dish with ice cream was out for awhile, they would have taken it to our table or told the other server. The kitchen actually decided to re-make it before they brought it to our table because by the time the server got to it, it was probably not fresh enough. Because dessert took so long, the server took it upon himself and used one of the social media promos to take one dessert off of our bill. The dulce de leche spring roll was ok. Nothing to rave about. When the server explained it to me, I thought it was going to be similar to like deep fried ice cream, but it wasn't. It was basically a sweet cream cheese mixture fried in an eggroll wrapper, and served with ice cream and caramel. The brownie sunday was really rich. The brownie itself was pretty chocolaty and dense, and you definitely needed to balance it with ice cream. In the end we were there for an hour and half. Our lunch really shouldn't have taken us that long, and as a result, my husband was almost late for work. I appreciated them taking things off our bill because of the situation, but I wouldn't have mind paying the price for these plates if we didn't have those experiences. I would come back, they look like they have a lot of good things to try on their menu, and I do like the ambiance. I just hope my experience is better next time.

My place of choice when I'm craving an ahi or poke bowl! I've tried other items on the menu too which were mostly seasonal, but I know I can always count on their bowls to be consistent. I usually opt for the ahi or poke tossed in wasabi soy sauce, over half salad and half brown rice because they're generous with the rice portions. Other items I've tried: -Ceviche trio (good but slightly pricey) -Crab sandwich on sourdough (fantastic! too bad it's seasonal) -Fish tacos (good, and various options to choose from) -Spicy fries (yum, choose this when presented the option) -Grilled mahi mahi (just okay) While perusing the menu, there are little dishes of shelled edamame and pretzel goldfish crackers for you to snack on. You will also be offered either still water or sparkling water (at no charge!) Great for birthday dinners, family outings, date nights, or casual lunches with friends.

I tried this place for the first time today. I tried a little bit of everything. The food was delicious!!!! However, a few hours later I started vomiting non stop! The food from the restaurant was the only thing I had today. Maybe it was the poke or the thai curry rice bowl...

One of the selling points of moving to Campbell was having a Pacific Catch close by. I had been to the one in SF and was a big fan of the rice bowls. This place is smaller then the SF location so sometimes it's hard to get seats unless you make reservations. However they are listed on OpenTable so making reservations is pretty easy. The sticky ribs are heaven on earth and I just can't get enough of them. This place loses 1 star because of the Pruneyard parking lot.

Great service from Salvador. He's been friendly and recommended the specials which turned out to be absolutely delicious. My family and I tried all the specials and my favorite would have to be the Ono dish with the mashed potatoes and arugula. The Cedar Plank Salmon was not all its cracked up to be but nonetheless, good. A must have would be the trio poke. It's flavorful and tastes great with these specialty drinks they offer. If you love alcohol as much as I do, try the summer thyme peach and ask for less syrup. Bourban and peach could have not tasted any better together. Tried the strawberry basil lemonade (vodka of course) was great but too sweet for me. Overall, I'd get my seafood needs here and would bring anyone who loves seafood to this place.

I love this place, my favorite is their Hawaiian ahi poke bowls. Most delicious dish ever! You can get it as all rice or salad, both are delicious. It's their sauce that makes it. I Keep coming back and can't bring myself to order anything else.

Kendall R.
WOW. I didn't expect to love this place as much as I did. I wasn't in the mood for sushi, and surprisingly they had even some non-fishy offerings for the picky palletted man in my life. While We Waited: Little Edamame & Pretzel Goldfish (surprisingly, really good!) My Order: Fish & Chips (light, fluffy, fresh and flaky white fish-- obviously never frozen. Steamed veggies and french fries didn't dissapoint-- tartar sauce was perfect. Even weeks after, I've still got a craving to go back and get another order of the fish and chips. It was amazingly not greasy. I'll be returning.

This is my new favorite restaurant! From only one visit, with many more to come, here's my quick take: Lovely environment; every single person was friendly (authentically so, not syrupy); service was perfect, attentive, and fast; food was fresh, extremely tasty and well-balanced with flavor, color and texture; and best of all... every KIDS' ITEM come with SEASONAL VEGETABLE! There seems to be many choices for different tastes, vegetarian, meat, and non-gluten can be found or created. I read the review about finding a bug in the salad (ugh... not appetizing), however, it further proves that the food is fresh enough that a bug would eat it, vs. being slathered in pesticide. It seems that they are extremely popular and busy...mistakes are inevitable when it's packed with waits of 45 minutes. I'll be going back again and again...strategizing for the quieter hours, rather than flirting with disappointment inevitable in the midst of the demanding masses.

Okay food, but prices seemed a bit high to me . $5.50 for a side of plain. steamed broccoli? nothing really special about. the grilled salmon. I went back twice since they were able to offer a simple salmon and vegetable dinner the first time. The second time I tried their traditional poki, but I made the mistake of doing the "bowl" option and got a bunch of other stuff with it (rice, salad, seaweed salad, ginger, advocado, etc.) that I probably could have done without. Oh well. It was good none-the-less.

I had been to the Marina/Cow Hollow location in SF and expected this place to be just as good. This location is incredibly spacious, more so than Marina. It's very clean and has a modern decor. What I don't like about this place is the random pillars that stick out at some of the tables, taking up precious space. What could have been an ideal seating for 4 was established for a measly 2 person table. Service was commendable. Our waiter was fast and professional. He jotted our orders quickly, brought our drinks within seconds, all the while being patient with us since the moment we arrived. They give out free refills on non-alcoholic drinks which is a huge plus! The Pan-Asian Wasabi Bowls [$15] are delicious. GIGANTIC portions which will fill you up. I had a very difficulty time finishing this. The wasabi is embedded in the rice which gives a nice spice. You have your choice of Hawaiian Poke, Grilled Salmon [+$1], Seared Ahi, or Crab Salad. The Hawaiian Poke and Seared Ahi are definitely the ones to get and they give you plenty of fish. Overall, lots of flavor going down. Prices are a bit up there, but considering it's seafood, what do you expect. Great place for a casual lunch/dinner.

Pacific catch was really good. I've been here twice. I like their food, but I like their atmosphere more. I feel like I am at an open restaurant in SoCal by the beach when I'm there. It gets pretty crowded, so I would recommend that you make reservations in advance. My boyfriend and I love this place and their poke temporarily satisfies our craving for poke down in Huntington Beach, but it isn't the same style. Good place for special occasions or weekend dinner!

The first thing I noticed about this place was how open and spacious the restaurant was. The booths can be a little weird when there's a big pillar right in your table...but that's alright. :P My servers have always been polite and attentive. Attentiveness is great when all their non-alcoholic drinks are re-fillable. Yup...even the thai tea. In one sitting, I go through about 3 drinks, so it's well worth the amount I pay. I usually take one to-go on my way out too. :) My favorite thing to get is their pan-asian bowls. My favorite has been the hawaiian with either steak or wild salmon. I usually order it with half brown rice and half veges. It's so light and delicious! Huge portions. I also have tried the pokes. They're all pretty good. Not like, fresh from hawaii good, but not bad. Really recommend for a nice lunch or light dinner. :)

I loved the green tea to start off the meal. I could tell it was a quality tea and I got a nice pot of hot water and some honey. It was most enjoyable on a day that was unexpectedly cool and blustery outside. I ordered the Steelhead Salmon. It was a special with some really nice vegetables that were cooked al dente. The fish had a good texture but for the most part it had no flavor. So I used some of my bf's wasabi vinigarette sauce on the top and that took care of it! He had the meal sized ahi salad. It was good and fresh but like the steelhead, it had no flavor. I like the ambience. Modern, not too fancy and the blue bottles turned into lights that were hanging from part of the a-framed ceiling were very cool. Looked like a DIY project I'd like to try someday. It was Saturday afternoon and the parking wasn't bad. We were able to find a space right out front.

Had the wasabi bowl with Hawaiian poke and it was tasty and the serving was huge. The menu is expansive and the interior of the restaurant was modern looking and clean. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Fish chips and edamame beans are served as free appetizers.

Tried this place again and last night ( Friday ) at 8:00 I was not impressed with the service yet again. They were 30min late on our reservation and my mothers artichoke came out burnt. Apparently no one was doing quality control on the items going out on the kitchen. It's such a shame that they are extremely slow and don't always pay attention to detail because their food is great ( when it doesn't come out burnt ) and their drinks are delicious. 2 stars only because I like their food.

Came here for lunch with a work colleague and was promptly seated around noon. Obviously their menu is seafood, although the flavors are kind of all over the map. You've got Hawaiian-based options, but then there's also fish and chips, special of the day, and Thai ice tea etc. Since it's poke fest, I went with the poke trio ($19), and picked garlic shrimp/california ahi/yuzu albacore. The seafood was really fresh, and although the flavors were a bit more americanized than I'm used to for poke, you could definitely still taste the fish. The portion was just right, and each poke dish definitely had a good amount of fish. I wasn't really expecting much considering their prices are not as expensive as other seafood restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised and definitely will be coming back before poke fest is over!

Will keep it short and sweet. WE LOVE PACIFIC CATCH. Service is always on point (Most often we sit at the bar) and we've never had a meal or drink we didn't LOVE. The rice bowls are to die for (i always order half rice half salad which is a nice option), and their management and staff always go above and beyond. SO HAPPY this spot opened up sooo close to home for us, considering i prefer to order from their impressive cocktail menu and then cab home :)

H T.
this was my first time at pacific catch down in the s. bay, but i always enjoyed the ones in sf. i always get the same thing - poke salad, and it's delicious. the portion is also gigantic, but of course, i could eat the entire thing. we also got a roll to share which was a flash fried albacore roll w/ avocado, no rice. yum!

Hmmm where should I start??? Yelp has let me down on this one... Wanted some seafood on a Friday night and this place came up on Yelp. So we decided to give this place a try. I figure that since it was already past 8pm, the restaurant might not be that busy...but I was wrong. We still waiting about 45 mins, which was okay for a Friday night without a reservations. Got seated and it took a little bit for our server to come greet us and give us water. Our food took a while to come out as well and our server was no where to be found when we wanted our check. We sat there for a good 15 mins before we spot her and waved her down. Items we ordered: Original Tuna Poke - Out of all our dishes, this was the best one...and it was over salted. I think who ever was putting together this dish got salt happy. Spice Rubbed Mahi Mahi - There wasn't much flavors to this sandwich and you can taste that the fish wasn't fresh. This dish came with spicy fries and it was over seasoned and not spicy at all. Swordfish - hmmmm.... very bland fish. Again, this fish wasn't fresh and it was over cook. This was served over brown rice and I think that was the best part of the dish. The more I chew on this fish, the harder it was to swallow. After dinner, we weren't feeling so well and we both agreed that it was the fish that cause it. Don't think we will be coming back here.

The restaurant is in a nice Campbell area next to Marshall's. Beautiful interior, very detailed with each designs that they have. Great atmosphere and good music playing. We came here for lunch, our waiters were attentive and kind. We started off with shrimp ceviche. Then I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich and he ordered mix catch basket under fish and chips. He loved the food here, I wasn't so pleased. Very average food, nothing special. Probably won't come back because nothing stood out. Great service though!

Diana T.
We tried this restaurant on one of our date nights. We had the poke sampler with a few different tastes. It was really yummy. I ordered the special of the day while the boy ordered the cioppino (sp?). Both dishes were quite tasty. To be honest, it was a nice dinner, but nothing that particularly knocked our socks off that would require us to return.

As I was lining up for the BWW coupon, a lady mentioned this place and how they had good poke. I've heard about this spot before but never had a chance to try it out, until yesterday. It was by luck their was one here at the Pruneyard in Campbell because my brother works at the Bank Of America located on the opposite side of Pacific Catch. We came around lunch time and it was a little busy but not packed. It was mainly businessmen and businesswomen. We were seated the moment we entered. We ordered the calamari which was decent, it had a zing to it. I continued on to order the Japanese wasabi bowl with poke along side with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 greens. I saw that tip on here so I tried it. The portion was very big I didn't even finish mine! We also came here to celebrate my Aunt's birthday and for the "cake" it was the Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls". Damn that was soooo good. You have to try it if you get a chance to come here! Only downside is that it's a little pricey.

My sister had her birthday dinner here, and I was excited to try it since it had pretty good Yelp reviews. It was great that they accommodated a large party. We sat outside which was really nice. Really nice restaurant with nice decor. Our server was also really nice and helpful, since it was a lot of people's first time there. I got ordered the Hawaiian Poke and the Inside out roll. She kind of messed up on mine and some people's order, but they were nice and switched it out immediately. I really loved the poke, but the inside out roll but ok. It was nothing special for the price. =/ I also tried the white tuna poke, and that was also really really good! My boyfriend got the fish n chips, and really liked the fish, but the fries were over-seasoned. Didn't really get to ask others what they thought of their food, but other than that it was a good restaurant.

It was good. This was the first time I went to this joint. The wife and I had the sword fish and the mahi salad. More gluten free options would be great but I am a hippy now and do not expect the rest of the world to catch on yet. All though everyone should. Gluten sucks. Anywho... great and friendly staff, clean establishment, and good food. Go eat here and get your omega 3's on!

Our second visit to Pacific Catch, for lunch this time. Love the freshness of our entrees and starters. Excellent flavor and taste, matched with excellent service. The Baja Shrimp Ceviche was so good and their salads are a meal on its own. Pacific Catch is now on my personal list of to go to restaurants.

Jen H.
Pretty solid food, service was just mediocre! This is in the pruneyard. This is the second Pacific Catch I been to. The other one was in SF. I ordered the Island Taco platter: 1) Pacific Steak 2) Mahi Mahi We came here on a Wednesday night. Overall, I would come back.

Stephanie H.
Four stars because f is for fantastic. Then again five has an f too. ANYWAY Pacific Catch has a stellar ambiance and great service. Our waitress was very professional, checked up on us frequently, and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered: Dungeness crab and corn soup: Wow, you must try this one. It's a small size, but it is so worth it. Bonus points for not being too salty. Steelhead fish special: Awesome. There was a perfect amount of sauce. Mahi Mahi: Awesome. It was cooked splendidly and came with a bed of beans and black rice. California roll: Although the crab was good, there was no flavor and it wasn't authentic sushi. Not to mention it was $9. The pieces are very big though. I am VERY picky about my fish because so many restaurants don't know how to cook fish well. Usually other places pan sear fish and it comes out dry. Pacific Catch does a stellar job cooking their fish so it's flavorful and not left dry. Overall I had a wonderful meal here and I would definitely come back and try other dishes. Minus one star for being pricey and for having less than desirable sushi.

Maureen C.
This place has great poke bowls and some other delicious options. They have a pretty large menu, from grilled fish to seafood sandwiches and tacos. Service was prompt, and they have somehow managed to make a restaurant in the middle of landlocked Campbell feel like it could be close to water. Something about the decor being kind of simple and open. It's a little loud and can be kind of pricey, but a great option when you want something different compared to what you usually find in the South Bay.

Stacy H.
I'm rating this place 2 stars because the SERVICE HERE SUCKS! I came on a Saturday night with my stepdad. It took us 10 minutes to get a waitress' attention for our drink orders and then she disappeared for another 10 minutes and then our drinks arrived. I ordered the mint lemonade (which was refreshing) and my stepdad ordered the kona longboard. We then ordered the mahi mahi tacos and I ordered the trio of poke (regular, salmon and california). The food was great, but our waitress ended up only checking in on us once and when we were trying to get the dessert menu, she disappeared again! We waited almost 20 minutes at that point that we asked for a check from someone else and left. I understand that we came later on in the night, but seriously! I won't be coming back here again.

Megan S.
Fish place but surprisingly super vegetarian friendly. Almost any bowl can be made with tofu. Food is excellent. I got a tofu salad. Beautiful presentation and taste. I came here with a large party. Service was super nice but only one server for table of 20 people. So lunch took awhile. For table of 20, I would have excepted 3 to 4 servers. Not one. Took her awhile to get around table and get everything, everyone needs. But server did well considering the circumstances.

Aggie N.
I'd only ever been to the location in SF/marina before and this place was new and huge in comparison. The derive was excellent and the food was fresh and flavorful (and big portions!). We also sat on the semi-outdoor patio which was a treat. We started with the original poke and I had the wasabi rice bowl with seared ahi. Everything was delicious but I wish I tasted the spice of the wasabi a bit more and $16 was a little expensive to me for a rice bowl (albeit the portion was huge and ingredients fresh). Overall, great spot.

Joanna T.
Yum yum yum. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant! Everything looked so clean and upscale, yet casual at the same time. Honestly food isn't cheap, but it's not crazy either. Ordering an appetizer and a roll filled both my bf and I and costed $40. Definitely order the poke trio so you can try a little of everything. Tip: you can also choose the Baja shrimp civeche that's not listed as one of the choices as a plate. I love ceviche and thought this avocado-based ceviche was super good! If you're extra hungry you should probably order that as an appetizer on its own so you can get more :) The firecracker salmon roll actually had cooked salmon, as I was expecting it to be raw. But it was still good. I normally really hate sprouts, but these weren't bad at all. I would definitely recommend to check out this place. Service was both friendly and attentive :)

This restaurant is probably as good as you will ever find. I love the food here so much that whenever I fly into San Jose, this is the FIRST place I go. The food is always wonderful and the service perfect! I usually have a taco plate with the shrimp or steak mixed tacos and fries. If you are near this restaurant - please go. Good food, reasonable prices! Thanks Pacific Catch!!

Sherry C.
Came here after attending a Mark Allen's speech at the Sports Basement. Our party had the following: Pan-Asian rice bowls Japanese wasabi bowl + Hawaiian poke - You get a choice of white or brown rice or in my case half-and-half. The poke came in abundance but was not spicy enough so I had to add some sriracha sauce. I believe the poke was purposely kept mild so people can crank up the heat if needed. Hawaiian teriyaki + grilled salmon - The grilled salmon with the pineapple and sauce were simply delicious! They got the salmon grilled to perfection Overall the rice bowls were good and you will definitely not leave hungry with the amount of rice they give you. And for dessert, we had fried dulce de leche "spring rolls". This is a must if you have a sweet tooth. The creamy "spring roll" filling was really rich and yummy.

Our family came here on Mother's Day and it was quite packed. The wait time was an hour and half according to the Hosted. So we were given a buzzer to let us know we we're next. Since it was a wait, there is a Marshall next door for a little kill time. But no longer than half an hour and the buzzer went off. So we left Marshall and went back to the resturant. As we were seated. We waited about 5 minute before our server came around. She was Nice and helpful when we need her even though it was quite busy. Starters Thai-style Steamed Clams $12 Little Skookum Manila clams, Lemongrass Ginger Broth, & Grilled Croutons. This Dish was awesome, the clams were perfectly cooked and the broth went amazing well with the clams. Only down fall was the two slice of bread/crouton was not enough for us to enjoy this dish to its fullest. Because the broth was so good, that we had to ask for more Bread which is an addition $1.50. Also looking at the picture that is advertise on the board. Our dish looks a little skimpy. Baja Shrimp Ceviche $9 Lime, Serrano Chili, Avocado, Cilantro, & a side of Tortilla Chip. Everything on this dish went well together. Only thing we didn't expect, was for them to put full piece of shrimp in the dish. Also the amount of tortilla chip ratio to the Ceviche was not enough. We had to ask for more Chip. Cabo Calamari $10 Crispy Calamari, Lemon Slices, Fresno Chilies Spicy Chipotle Aioli The Calamari was perfectly seasoned and crisped. The aioli sauce wasn't over powering the calamari, but it does have a kick. so if you can't do spicy, I wouldn't recommend it. But if your brave enough. Try it. But for $10 buck,the amount on this dish is reasonable. Hawaiian Poke Trio $19 Wonton Crisps, Seaweed Salad, Daikon Salad Apparently a lot of people get this confuse, but the Trio means we get items listed below and including three type of poke from their list of creations. Our choices were, Ahi Serrano Sweet Onions, Spicy Aioli, & Serrano Chilies. Salmon Avocado, Green Onion, Toasted Shallot Oil, & Lemon. White Tuna Yuzu Citrus, Fresno Chilies, White Soy Sauce, & Red Onion. I would say is what you read listed under each creations is what you gonna get. Out of all three my favorite would be the White Tuna. Because the Citrus & White Soy Sauce Combo went well together with the White Tuna and made me want more. Sushi Roll Firecracker Salmon $12.5 Tempura Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber Daikon Sprouts, Shallots, & Sriracha Aioli We decided to choose this one because it was appealing to us. But boy, were we wrong. It came out looking mouth water and flavorful, but had no flavor to it. Even the Sriracha Aioli couldn't do it justice. The Tempura was plain and had no seasoning in it. Usually I enjoy sushi without the help of soy sauce or other condiments. But when I do, it because the sushi need a little help. Fish & Chips Mixed Catch Basket $15 Two Pieces of Alaskan True Cod, Three Coconut Shrimp, Three Crispy Oysters, Jalapeño Tartar & our side choice was Sweet Potato Fries. My step dad was a little disappointed on the out come of the dish. It came out looking a little burnt. But he still enjoyed the sweet potato fries. and the crispy oysters. It also came with two dipping sauce(tarter sauce & sweet and sour) and a tiny serving of cold slaw. Definitly need to give us a little bit more of the tarter sauce because it was gone with a couple of dips. [SPECIAL] Miso-Glazed Black Cod $25 Local Black Cod, Tempura Vegetable Salad, Spinach, Brown Rice, Ginger Daikon Tempura Sauce This dish was Horrible. MOST DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE. The Black Cod was definitely glazed in the miso but was bitter and not seasoned at all. Could of use some salt and pepper. The Tempura Vegetable was plain but i guess that's what the ginger sauce was for. And the brown rice was hard and dried. Will and most definitely not recommend this dish to anyone. Reason this place gotten a two star from our family was because the service was awesome and had a nice feel to the place. And a couple of winning dishes. But we had better at other places. But it's not a place we shall come back to for a while or maybe even not, just because the food wasn't all pleasing.

I took one of my best friends here for her birthday dinner. It was the first time here for the both of us. This is a very spacious restaurant and well set up. They have a full bar on one side that has TVs to watch whatever current sports game is on. They also have a covered outside patio area that can be rented out for events. I went by the Yelp reviews and had to get the sweet potato fries with the ginger wasabi aioli, sweet Thai chili sauce. I had to say they were just OK to me and actually would have preferred to just eat them with ranch (which they didn't have). In the Yelp reviews, a lot of people wrote about the Pacific Ceviche Trio. They didn't have it on the menu. I guess it was a special that they serve occasionally?? What I ordered and really loved were the: -Korean Sticky Ribs starter: these were so tasty good, the presentation of the food was perfect and the portion was perfect -Island Taco Platter (2 tacos): I had the Traditional Baja and the Pacific Steak tacos. The Traditional Baja was my favorite but they were both really good. The tacos were a lot bigger than I expected that I couldn't finish them both. Rather have it big than too small!

SUCH A GREAT PLACE! We came with our two pups and had to get outdoor seating but they were very accommodating even though we were constantly moving around and asking for different things (turning the heater on, more chairs, etc.) The food was excellent. I got the poke trio with the salmon, ahi, and california pokes and all were awesome. The wonton chips were so light and crispy and I loved the seaweed salad. The sandwiches were great too with soft bread (which I love). The mochi fondue was good but pretty small. I would suggest getting the dulce de leche dessert! Amazing.

Solid food! If you're craving for some poke, I definitely recommend it here. They have a lot to offer on their menu, so I feel like it's a crowd pleaser. Get anything poke and you're good to go.

Love this place when I crave fish. Having grown up in Hawaii, this place isn't "authentic," but the quality of food is pretty good if you're not expecting the real stuff. Food isn't cheap here though. Expect to spend over$15+ per person without tip or appetizers.

Ok, these guys deserve the upgrade to 4 stars. I've been back at least a dozen times since the last review, and I'm glad to report that my lackluster experience was never repeated. I now give kudos to PC for being very consistent, in terms of service and food quality. This is a great place to come for nice ambiance (take note of their noise-mitigating design details), tasty food, large servings, and friendly waitstaff. I've always been satisfied with the service wherever I'm seated (the dining room, the patio, a communal table, or at the bar), my food has always been flavorful, and I'm super happy that they know how to make a good cocktail!

Came here the other night for my first time with a friend and I like it. It's a nice size place, the bar looks lively. The only thing was the lighting inside is on the dark side. It's set for like a date night, like it's meant for a couples only place. So going with a group of friends, you might feel kinda weird lol. I went on a Tuesday night and that night they were having 50% all wine bottles. Happy hour was from 4pm to 6pm. We didn't make that. We had reservations, and even @ that we had to wait a little. Our server was Daniel, I believe. He was really nice and asked if it was our first time there and I said yes for me. My friend had already been there. So he asked if I wanted any recommendations on anything, but I pretty much already had an idea of what I was going to order since my friend Edify what she got last time. They give you pretzel fish crackers and edamame as a little snack while you're waiting for your food to come out. I thought it was nice and funny. I've never seen a place whether it's a nice restaurant or not give those little fish crackers. I love them so from there this place had me lol. I order the Hawaiian Teryaki rice bowl with half brown rice and half greens and grilled mahi mahi. It was a big bowl size!! I ate most of it there, but took some home. The price for it was $16 without tax. It was really good!!! I'm going back for sure!

Come here all the time with my boyfriend. It's defiantly a spot we hit for date night! Absolutely love everything! I always start off with a California roll and then a chipotle chicken salad! Service is usually great! I would defiantly sit outside too, it's always better for less noise.

I've been a fan of Pacific Catch for over a decade now. I started out going to the SF locations when I lived out there back in the day. Now that I've become suburbanized out in the South Bay, I get my Pac Catch fix on a pretty routine basis at the Campbell location near my home. 95% of the time I stick to my go-to fave which is the Korean Steak Bowl...always good. When I do occasionally stray from the routine, it's usually for one of their daily fish specials. That also has always proved to be a smart, fresh choice.

I love this place!! This is seriously my favorite poke spot. The only downfall is that they can get way too packed during the weekends but I'm super happy for the manager to be able to accommodate my birthday party of 20 plus. My favorites to order from here are the poke (CA style is the best one here), the steak bahn mi sandwich is spicy but oh so yummy! Crazy strong Mai tais. They also have good lunch bowls, I usually get the salmon or ahi wasabi bowls (very generous on the serving too) you have to let them know half greens and half rice cuz they'll give you two big scoops of rice. Hmm just thinking bout all of this food is making me hungry. See you again soon pacific catch.

I loooooooove this place. I don't really know many other places in the area with good poke. They have a few different kinds here. My favorite is the California Poke. It's a little heavy, but good nonetheless. I also like the Original, if you're feeling a little basic. Ahi serrano is a bit spicy so watch out! All the poke comes with wonton chips, and seaweed salad. I suggest getting a trio so you can try different kinds. I've also had a few of the rolls here. I've had the Ecstacy, Spicy Tuna, and Sunset. I think my favorite is the Ecstacy. It's a little different because there's no rice in the roll. I also really like the Ceviche, and Sweet Potato Fries for appetizers. During crab season they had a delicious spicy crab chowder. I think their chowders change every now and then. Service tends to be a bit slow, and expect a wait when you get here. It's usually packed. It's a bit on the pricey side as well. I like to go for happy. I think it's all worth the wait for the food though.

Almost all the things we ordered were way too salty. Needed plenty of water to wash the salt down. Poke Trio- Original Poke was way too salty. Ahi Serrano was perfect (loved this). White Tuna was bland. Salmon chowder- salty, I prefer clam chowder. Tacos- Mahi Mahi and traditional Baja were salty. Steak was delicious! Salmon poke tartare- too salty Sweet potato fries- these were so delicious! Not salty at all. The 2 glasses of white wine I had were nice. They allow you to taste the wine if you aren't sure you will like it or not. Service was great though. Manager and waitress were understanding when we told them how salty the food was. Manager took off $26 off our bill, which was nice. They dealed with our issue nicely.

The Hawaiian poke salad is huge and delicious. The coconut shrimp appetizer is awesome. The Korean bbq ribs rice bowl is gigantic and deliciously spicy. The oyster entree is Amazing! The taco trio was a bit bland and the least favorite of our 6 entrees. We'll be back for sure.

Good stuff!!! From the decor to the ambience to the plating to the portion sizes to the taste, 4 stars indeed! We tried the calamari, salmon chowder, wasabi salad with dungeness, and the ecstasy roll. The calamari and the salmon chowder was VERY good! I chose to get the wasabi salad with the crab based on some of the pictures I saw, but in hindsight should have probably ordered with the ahi poke. It wasn't bad, just not GREAT. Same with the ecstasy roll, good but not great. Had the latter two been better, I would have had a hard time not giving them the all exclusive 5 starsy! The price was fair and the service was great! We will definitely stop by the next time we are in the area.
I was so excited to try this place for the longest time, but I was ultimately let down. First of all, the menu is a bit pricey for what it is. Apps are $10, rice bowls $16, salads $14, ect. The poke trio of ceviche, ahi macadamia nuts, and salmon appetizer: It comes with seaweed salad, crispy wonton strips, and some daikon veggies. The best fish was the ahi, however there were maybe 3 pieces of macadamia I saw in it?..so it was basically just shoyu ahi. The ceviche had a refreshing citrus flavor. The salmon was the least impressive, but I still liked it. If you're not planning on eating poke for your entree I would highly recommend getting this as an app Hawaiian poke bowl: SO MUCH RICE, the rice alone it's enough to feel 3 people honestly. I suppose this is how they justify the price and filling up the large bowl (size of a ramen bowl) tricky tricky pacific catch. The bowl came with sprouts, seaweed salad, daikon/cucumbers, slices of avocado, nori, and shoyu poke. Wasn't bad, but the rice was kind of mushy. Crabmelt with sweet potatoes: The fries were over cooked. The melt had too much mayo and barely any crab. Salmon sandwich with spicy fries: This also had a bit too much mayo, but you can scrap it off. It was a seared filet of salmon with avocado on a French roll. Much larger than the melt and more worth it. The fries were cooked and spiced perfectly. My sister originally ordered the melt but really didn't enjoy it. This was the first time she sent food back, the waitress and manager were very accommodating. However the service was a bit slow (but friendly), and the water offered was never chilled. Overall my party felt it wasn't bad, but for the price tag (meal was over $75 for 3 people) it definitely wasn't worth it.

One of the few places that serves poke. For the taste and amount of poke in the pike trio meal, I would definitely recommend Pacific catch

Maira C.
By far the best fried shrimp taco u have ever had in my life!! Ask for the SriRacha Aioli sauce for an extra kick. The calamari was also very delicious, crunchy and even had tentacles :) I tried the Kona longboard beer on draft and I wasn't disappointed. The offer samples for draft beer so don't be afraid to explore. Parking is a little tough since it is at the prune yard but it's a cute cozy place! Perfect for a first date. Patio area is great for people watching and it's also heated! Enjoy!!!

My friends took me to dinner here. They said it was their favorite seafood spot so I was really interested in trying it out. I got one of their specials for the night. It was shrimp sauteed with garlic with glass noodles. I really loved this dish! It was flavorful and quite filling. One friend got the fish and chips which were pretty good. (Im not a big fish and chips fan) and the other got the shrimp tacos. Those were really good. I really liked the jalapeno tarter sauce that they put on them. Very flavorful and perfect amount of spice. I really wish I lived closer. I would totally come here all the time!

I like Pacific Catch! Just make sure you make reservations beforehand because this place can get fairly crowded. The Japanese wasabi bowl with poke is wonderful if you're missing the islands! I always opt for full salad for a healthier option but you can choose either white or brown rice. Mine came with seaweed salad, ginger, avocado, poke & garden salad mix w/ wasabi dressing. There's also a third salad that's made with pickled cucumbers & carrots which I didn't care too much for. The tacos are delicious as well. My favorite was the shrimp, it's got some bacon bits & avocado inside... Yum. The bf chose the swordfish special last time we went & it was cooked SO well! We were pleasantly surprised. Some tips: if you want water, ask for ice water because their default is no ice. Service can be kinda slow so be prepared. Make sure you don't miss out on their complimentary pretzel goldfish & edamame! Munching on them makes the wait for food a little more bearable :)

My husband and I went here last night night for dinner. I'm a huge fan of poke, so I knew I had to try their poke. I was not disappointed at all. I ordered the original which had a good portion - not too large or too small. It was great as a starter dish. I definitely want to go back to try their salmon poke and their ahi macadamia nut poke. Both sound really delicious. I ordered the Hawaiian rice bowl with teriyaki skirt steak with white rice. It was a really large portion. The rice bowl came with steamed carrots, grilled pineapple, mushrooms, edamame and the steak. It all tasted great. My husband didn't enjoy his dish as much. We had assumed that there would be more cooked fish options than what was in the menu. I enjoy raw fish, my husband not so much. I plan on coming back and hopefully, my husband will join me.

One of the best, most reasonable happy hours I've found. Really nice mix of food options if you go with a picky crowd, and the service is super friendly and accommodating. I'd highly recommend.

I'm not a huge sushi person at all, but I love this place! Parking is great and the servers are really great too. He was really attentive and even gave us a complimentary poke bowl. The tacos were really good. It comes with lettuce, beans, rice, and a variety of different toppings depending on the meat you get. (Sweet potato) fries come with it too! I think pacific steak is the best. The poke selection is to die for! I got ahi serrano, original (the free one), the salmon, and california style. The ahi serrano was my favorite! Soooo flavorful and it doesn't make you sick of it. The poke comes with chips and greens you can put on it. Enjoy!

I'm kind of disappointed. I really liked Pacific Catch. We have been here numerous times and today was just not good. I had wilted lettuce in my $14.50 Ahi Salad. I thought it came with avocado, but when I asked....I was told no. Then strangely when I told my BF he could finish the salad he found the smallest slimmest sliver of avocado in the bowl....no more though. I thought I read on the menu it came with avocado, and I further thought it did when my dining partner order the exact same salad but his had avocado in it. Be it as well a very small amount. Honestly the wilted lettuce I had to pull out was more disappointing. So allow me to stop complaining about the lack of avocado that may....or may not actually come on the salad.

So pleasantly surprised! Reservations available, great service, fair price for the food, and of course fantastic food. Nothing snarky or rude to say about this place. Poke trio - At the server's recommendation, we got the ahi serrano, california style, and the original. The serrano was my favorite because it packed a light kick, and I don't like avacado so that one was out. Definitely recommend. Mixed catch - I liked the kick in the jalepeno tartar sauce. And the spicy fries were good. I wasn't really chowing down on this because I wasn't in the mood for fried things. Japanese Wasabi bowl with seared ahi - SO YUMMY. I'm usually scared of wasabi but it didn't burn too much and mixed really well with the rice. Loved everything in it. Sweet potato fries - comes with a ginger wasabi sauce. One of the better sweet potato fries I've had? Meh, I'm mostly just oogling over the poke and bowls

Love Pacific Catch. Always come here whenever I go back to NorCal to visit home. Everything I've ever tried here was all delicious. What I usually go for is the Poke Trio (which allows you to choose 3 types of poke). This comes with wonton chips and wakame and a radish salad. I also get the Ectascy Roll or a bowl. The bowls are huge! You can choose either rice or salad and a choice of fish. I've tried the Hawaiian Bowl, the Thai Bowl and the Korean BBQ bowl. All were really good, except the Korean BBQ bowl was a little bit too salty. The ahi tuna was cooked perfectly for the Hawaiian bowl. I also love the sweet potato fries as a side! Definitely not the cheapest place to eat at, but the food is amazing.

Solid food, solid service, and killer happy hour menu. The decor and ambiance is nice and whoever runs the front of the house is always on the ball. High quality ingredients are used and the food always tastes fresh -- one can opt to eat light or heavy here. My fave is the happy hour which is only in the bar area (with quite a few tables including seating at the bar) with menu items at $3, $5, and $7 dollars. The portions are outta control -- regular size -- and one could get full off of two items! The shrimp ceviche is decent, but the lime is overpowering. The poke was quite good with lots of ahi. The California roll here is a MUST whether for HH or not -- it's made with tons of real crabmeat and the ratio of ingredients is perfect. And if not favoring seafood, the Korean sticky ribs are delicious and meaty. The mai tai is strong (as it should be!) and the riesling is on the dry side. Most of the dinner items are equally good. Reservations can be made also. Love how consistent everything is at Pacific Catch! Note: the restaurant is casual.

I am VERY conflicted after coming to Pacific Catch. My wife and I were feeling like seafood, or something grilled, so why not get both right? And it was here! we ordered: -3 tacos plate w/ one fish, one steak, and one shrimp (actual names slip my mind) -She got a Rice bowl w/ some sort of fish -I got a Teriyaki Mahi Mahi Rice Bowl - One hawaiin punch coctail -one some specialty martini =$72 Ok, the food tasted Great!! we loved and had started planning our next trip back right there at the table. The Tacos were excellent. We both agreed this was the kind of food that you get consistent cravings for. Ya, that good! But then we got home.... I got sick, got the worst stomach ache ever and a case of the runs... mine lasted a few hours, but hers... The next day she was bed ridden with a jacked up stomach, runs, the whole 9... No Bueno!!! I had to make her some ginger root tea and she could still barely stomach anything. But I wasn't convinced... To try to prove my thoughts wrong, I pulled out the leftovers and went HAM!!! It was still good, but again, 30 mins later and my stomach is jacked again. Theory confirmed, we both got sick from the food at Pacific Catch... Maybe it was bad luck.. If you still choose to eat here, service is good, food tastes great, drinks are satisfying.

Ooo! Bf and I love this place! We've been here maybe 4-5 times already and it has never failed. Whenever we find a place we really like, we'll come back and order the same thing over and over. Each time we've came here, I've ordered their hawaiian teriyaki rice bowls (which is AAAHHMAZIN') - shiitake mushrooms, grilled pineapple, carrots, edamame, crispy sweet onions, sesame seeds, and teriyaki sauce. It's pricey but so worth it! I mean it's pretty much everything I'd want in a rice bowl. I've also tried their hawaiian poke. It's deeeelish! Because I'm filipino, I like rice with EVERYTHING.. I was a little bit skeptical about having raw fish with wonton chips. But honestly, it was amazing! They're perfect together. Their customer service is on point. All the waitresses and waiters that I have encountered have been awesome. Good service means good tip!

Gorgeous and delicious, this place is superlative. I am so surprised that this semi-chain restaurant still keeps classy coming no matter what the location. The Pacific Catch here is next to Marshall's, which kind of knocks the expectations down a couple rungs, but on walking in there's a quick restoration of happiness. I always feel like PC knows the perfect zen atmosphere, what with the silent waterfall wall and bamboo shading and patio dining. My mom and I shared one of their rice bowls, opting for the Japanese Wasabi, which was PERFECT. I was really pleased by how fresh and presentable the dish was (see my picture!). The wasabi flavor was not overwhelming at all, I found it to be a perfect complement to the crunchy seaweed and sprouts along with the fish. We opted for the Hawaiian Poke and Ahi, which is the absolute best combo you can get - the Poke is a little spicy and exciting and the Ahi provides a more muted background flavor which marries with it perfectly. I was starving and I ate this really quickly and my only regret is that I didn't take the time to savor every bite! Love this restaurant and I'll take out-of-towners here again, chain-restaurant or not!

Took my friend (Akemi H) here on Tuesday night and they were having 50% off all wine bottles. Happy hour was from 4pm to 6pm. We didn't make that but we still had a good time having dinner here. It was my second time coming here so I had a good idea on what to order and it was her first time so everything was new to her. I suggest to make reservations (did it via OpenTable app) and were seated within 10 minutes. If you didn't make reservations and you came in a lunch or dinner peak times... then you probably have to wait for some time since this place gets busy and packed. OR be smart and just call ahead and order your food to-go? :D Decor was really nice especially the big jelly fish painting and the lights around the bar area. I love how they serve you a little plate of edamame and pretzel fish crackers. It was cute and the pretzel fish crackers reminded us of something really funny. You can munch on it while you wait for your food. I got the Thai Curry with brown rice, veggies and extra chicken meat & extra sauce. Yup. It was a huge bowl which I've enjoyed eating but I didn't finish it. Our server gave us a box for me to take home and I ate my leftovers the next day for lunch, lol. For sure going back to try other dishes!

There are some amazing dishes here. My favorite so far is Hawaiian Poke salad. The Ahi fish cube is so fresh. The soy-sasabi vinaigrette adds so much flavor to the mix of this salad. I like the various vegetables mixed in this salad. A glass of Riesling or Sauvignon blanc is perfect pair for lunch or dinner. I also like fish and chips. I got mixed catch basket last time. Cod, shrimp and oyster are all very good. It comes with fries on the top of a dining paper. Tacos are a good choice too, especially shrimp taco.

I came here for a birthday meal and was able to sit in their nice outdoor dining area. Their decor is very modern and hotel-like and the outdoor area has ample seating. I tried three of their island tacos, two of which I thought were pretty good. One of them was uninteresting. I also tried their agave margarita which was alright. Really this place is just alright. Nothing about the food was outstanding or finger-lick-inducing.

Poke!!! I've been looking for good poke in the bay for quite some time and I finally found it. The poke trio appetizer is awesome. I could eat that all day with own ton chips. The original and Serrano were bomb. Their rice bowls are HUGE. The rice to other ingredient ratio is also super off haha. You get like 5 cups of rice (they have brown!). But there's still plenty of other stuff like meat and veggies. I want to try everythinggg.

Came here during dinner with a girlfriend on a Sunday evening. We asked to be seated outside so we can enjoy the weather; we were seated promptly. I gave this place two stars because of their service... Here's why, after 15 mins of sitting down we were not greeted by a waiter ( I remembered the wait because I was on my phone the whole time and remembered how long it took). So I went back inside and asked the host who our waiter was... After making a comment about the wait, a waiter finally came out to greet us but didn't really say much or apologized for the delay... He took our drinks down then came back and asked for our order. After our food came out, the server never came back ONCE to check up on us. We had to ask another waiter for drink refills. Once we finished our food, it took our server sooooo long to give us our check, we had to continuously look around for him! It's pretty sad how some servers give horrible service when I'm such a great tipper because I was a waitress for many years... I understand how it's like to hustle and work for every single penny. You get what you give... Although the food was great and amazing, the service was just unreasonable. Not sure if I will come back to this location.

This review is based on the waitress we had. Yesterday we had dinner here and the food was amazing! I suggest ordering the Baja Shrimp Ceviche $9 (lime, serrano chili, avocado, cilantro, tortilla chips) and the Ahi Tuna Salad $15 (seared ahi tuna or Hawaiian Poke, avocado, cucumber, daikon sprouts, ginger sesame seeds, soy-wasabi vinaigrette). The salad is AMAZING! Although I love the food I haven't been impressed with the service any of the times I've been here. Yesterday after paying, our waitress gave us Mochi that were cut in half. We thought she was just randomly giving them to us since we didn't order them and we already paid. We took it as a nice gesture. A few minutes later she came back to our table, took the Mochi back and gave them to the table next to us. Disgusting! She has no idea if we touched them, coughed on them or sneezed on them. She's apparently a brand new waitress, but she should have the common sense to know better. Perhaps it's a training problem at the restaurant.

Came by for dinner the other night and was pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a chain and there was no wait for a table on a quiet Wednesday evening. Meal started off with some complimentary goldfish crackers and edaname beans. It was okay. Moved on to the Hawaiian Poke w/ Wonton chips and it was surprisingly decent, although somewhat pricey at $12 for an appetizer. The fish tacos were very good and fresh. Waitress suggested to swap out the side salad for the grilled Asparagus that I requested for and it worked out perfectly! The asparagus was fresh and tasty! :) Service was great by the staff. ~$23/person dinner after tax and tip.

Came here on a Wednesday night and the placed was packed! Thank goodness we had a reservation as we were a party of 6. Service was great! Food was yummy. I had the 2 taco dinner, one grilled fish and the shrimp taco. The shrimp taco flavor far exceeded that of the grilled fish. I opted for the side salad rather than the fries. The salad was topped with sprouts and edamame with a miso dressing, nice and lite. Everybody else's food looked fresh, yummy and the presentation of food was very aesthetic. Will definitely be back as I want to try the poke!

Late night dinner with the hubby and all I can think about is calamari. So the closest place to get good calamari and great martinis at 9:45 p.m ... Pacific Catch. Well obviously we had the calamari appetizer which we love because of the accompanying lemon and pepper sliced which are deep fried to golden perfection with our calamari!! Yumm! Dinner: chicken teriyaki bowl for the hubby and California roll salad for nurse nerd. Both were excellent! The hubby demolished his chicken and brown rice bowl along with the perfectly cooked edamame! I savored every bite of the fresh crab on my salad ( it was huge) and the addition of avocado and picked ginger just ticketed my soul! Babyyyy... That hit the spot! (and so did the martini) ;))

Finally, finally, finally was able to try Pacific Catch! This restaurant is located in the corner of the Pruneyard so there is a lot of parking. The restaurant has an American Japanese feel to it. My two friends and I ordered three items to share. The hawaiian poke comes in a single or a trio. We ordered the trio for $19 because it came with three choices of poke along with wonton crisps, wakame, and daikon salad. We chose... Original: sushi-grade ahi tuna, sesame-soy marinade, spicy seasonings California Style: ahi, rock crab, lemon aioli, avocado, tobiko, nori White Tuna: yuzu citrus, Fresno chilies, white soy sauce, red onions Our favorite was the California Style. The Pan Asian Rice Bowl came with four choices for $16. We chose the Hawaiian Poke Japanese Wasabi which included wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori, and soy-wasabi sauce. The Hawaiian poke bowl was good although I would much rather choose another Hawaiian poke trio. It was very similar. Our last dish was a spicy tuna roll for $9. All the sashimi was extremely fresh. Everything came out pretty quickly. The waitress was always on top of making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely come back here.

This is a long overdue review. I've been going here for a few years now. This is one of my fave nearby, go-to restaurant if I'm craving for something light, but filling to eat. This place is more of your casual, Americanized Asian-fusion kinda seafood joint. I've tried a few dishes here and try to get something new each time, if I can. Although it's a bit challenging to pick out what I want to eat. The food I've tried were all delicious. The menu does not disappoint. There's seating appropriate for any type of mood. Inside dining, bar/cocktail area with TVs to watch games and the patio which was good for big groups. The service is average. It can be better but it's not bad at all. They also serve a cute tiny plate of pretzel gold fishes and fresh edamame seeds while you look through the menu Rice bowls: I've had the Thai curry w/ salmon. My friend suggested I order it with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce. Curry on my lettuce? Salmon with curry? Sounded like a strange mixture but I was glad I tried it. The bowls are huge! I mean, it's good to feed 2 people comfortably and I am one who likes to grub. The spring mix was fresh, the curry wasn't overpowering at all and blended well with the brown rice and salad. The salmon was a decent size and complimented the dish well. The Korean BBQ bowl was another one of my faves. I've tried it with both the steak and sticky ribs. Either way, you can't go wrong. Prepare to use your hand if you decide to go w/ the sticky ribs. The sauce is sweet, a little tangy w/ a slight kick of spice. They offer a decent amount of meat for both. Love that this had fresh daikon sprouts and shredded omelette and nori seaweed. Yum!!! Sushi: Warning! Their rolls are oversized, which is good because my 9 year old love sushi and usually orders an can amount of rolls/plates when we go to sushi places. But one order from here, makes my pocket happy and my boy feeling full. He's had a the California and the Firecracker before. The California was a bit different. It had cucumbers. The firecracker wasn't that spicy to my taste but it was nice of our waiter to let the cooks know to add the sauce on side just in case my son is unable to tolerate. The sushis are Americanized so don't expect anything more. It's still pretty decent enough if you're wanting sushi. Salads: The Poke salad was yummy! You a get a huge bowl of spring mixed topped with a cup size poke and drizzled with their wasabi vinaigrette sauce. Refreshing and light. Grilled salmon salad was ok. Nothing special. It's just like how it's described. Sandwich: I've only tried their grilled salmon sandwich. It was pretty good. There's a good amount of salmon and the aioli sauce gave it a nice, subtle flavor. It went well with their sweet potato fries. This is good if you're craving for something light, easy to eat and simple. Appetizers to name a few: Poke- You can order a trio which was nice b/c it allows you to try different poke. The salmon lomi I think it was called, was good. I'm not really a fan of the white tuna. It was a bit fishy for my palette. Lol! The original was my fave of them all. It's fresh and seasoned perfectly. One of the best pokes around the 408 and closest you'll get from the real deal. Calamari- I like how it's not overlooked. It's soft and it comes with a good, spicy chipotle dipping sauce. Don't expect to get tartar or marinara sauce. It also comes with the battered red peppers and a tempura like lemon slices. I was hesitant at first. I thought it was like decor for the platter but my bf and sister was curious to try it. They insisted that I try it too. I'm glad I did b/c that was actually not bad at all. Korean sticky ribs, Coconut shrimp, shrimp ceviche were all good too. They're a small serving so I wouldn't recommend if you're sharing with a group. Overall, this place is good all around. There's enough on the menu to please any palette yet not so many choices to get you overwhelmed. Parking is a hit or miss. Wait time is tolerable. Kudos for allowing your fur kids/paw friends to join you out in the patio section.

I actually sorta LOVE this place haha. I have passed by it and it looks quite hip since it is in the Campbell area. I made a reservation for Thursday at 8 but it wasnt necessary since there were still available seats. What is cool about this place is that there is indoor seating, outdoor patio with heat, and bar seating so you can watch the game. After our dinner, we watched the Warriors lose until past closing but they let us linger. They give you edemame and pretzel goldfish as a starter which is cool. The food took a while to get to us between the appetizer and the main dish but good thing we ordered some Cali Rolls. California Rolls- It costs $9 for 8 pieces and it comes with real crab meat. I can really taste the difference between the imitation and this yummy goodness. It was nice to try and have but little did I know that the entree I got was huge so I could have foregone this. Thai Curry Rice Bowl- This thing is huge! I was already pretty full from the rolls but when you place this yummy monster in front of me, obvs I have to eat it. It tastes the thai green curry rice you get at like Osha Thai and I was absolutely pleased. I opted for half brown rice, half vegetables because a girl cant intake too many carbs unfortunately....healthy option was countered with all that creamy curry doe haha. There are some crispy onions chip pieces on top that were so yummyy. I loved the eggplan and cucumber within the mix. I chose chicken and there was a good amount on top. Love this dish and I definitely would come back for this! It is about $15 which is quite expensive but yolo. Korean BBQ Rice Bowl- I recently had it and I really like the sticky ribs for a $1. The bowl overall is ok so once I finished my ribs, I didnt care for the remainder. The ribs made it totallyyy worth it and they give you 5 pieces of tender flavored meat. Fried Dulce De Leche Spring Rolls- ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! it tasted like the baklava crumble at Dish Dash but I prefer this one hands down. This is cut in half so each piece has some brown gooey goodness in this flakey roll. You have to add in that yummy ice cream and caramel to get one awesome bite. I cant tell you how much I love this dish. We were trying to be good and not finish it but we gobbled that thing right up. I want it again.... **TIPS** 1) This place takes reservations so make one if you come at a busy time or day. This would be a pretty cool place for a birthday dinner. 2) Entrees are a bit expensive and huge so you can definitely split. 3) Get the Dulce De Leche Spring Roll. You will not regret it!!!! 4) Enjoy! I will come back to explore the rest of the menu :)

We love this place! I got the poke and my husband got the seafood trio - fried cod, coconut shrimp, oysters. Delicious delicious- and dont forget the pineapple sundae.

My new office was so kind to take me out to lunch here. I got to try the ahi tuna salad, and you have a choice of searing the tuna or poke style. Of course I chose poke style. But I may have frightened one of my co-workers with it because she thought they were just tomatoes. When she found out it was raw tuna, she slightly cringed. LOL! Anyway, their Thai coconut shrimp appetizer is also worth getting since it's not common to order but oh so delicious. And if you have room for dessert, their Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" is the perfect way to end a meal. It was yummy!

I cannot get over how mouthwatering this place is! Everything about the restaurant was warm and inviting from the start. Instead of serving bread, you are given a small plate of edamame beans and pretzels. Trust me, the combo is not as strange as it sounds. I had a salmon sandwich for lunch and my tastebuds fell in love. Their French fries are also great and coleslaw. My mom ordered fish and chips and it was a bit too greasy in my opinion. But overall, awesome experience and I will be back soon!

Was here for a business lunch and the food was really good. They gave us very good service for a large group and everything we ordered came out fast. I really liked the spicy fries as an app and I had the most amazing dish - Wasabi Bowl with Ahi... YUMMY and it didn't feel heavy - so perfect meal for a biz lunch. I am not often in Campbell, but I would come back if I venture out that way again.

Ok, so I'm a glutton. This being a family favorite, I found myself here yet again. Improvements have been made. Unfortunately last nights service suffered slightly. But the food was on point. Again, the Poke is always great. I went off my usual grid and had Ono in Red Curry Sauce. Very firm fish steak, almost to firm, in a mild curry bath. Curry needed more heat. Nice, light Thai styled salad came with it. My meal was good. But the star on the table was the grilled artichoke app. Could eat 4 of those. Pacific Catch is getting better every visit.

Not a huge fan. We came here to catch some of the World Series before we had to drop the bf's daughter off at her mom's house. We had some drinks and some apps. The bf's daughter really loved her clam chowder. The coconut shrimp was a bit dry and I enjoyed the crab rangoon. Hated the sushi. Poorly rolled and had a shiso leaf in some of it that overpowered the flavors of the fish and made everything taste off. Won't make the mistake of ordering again. I love sushi and love fish...just not here. Taco was good and if I come back I probably would stick to those for happy hour occasions. Maybe main entrees are better?

This is my second time trying this place . I have to say much better experience this time . Our server was gentleman by the name of Raul . He checked and asked us if we need anything multiply times, compare last time , it was major improvement . The food was much better , we got mix tacos and salmon salad . Overall good experience since the service was much much better ,we will come back again .

The food was ok, the service was ok, this place is just ok. Came here with some friends on a Sunday dinner and were seated without any wait. I like that their menu has a large variety of entrees which can satisfy any seafood craving. The food here seems a bit pricey for the portions and quality. I had the Hawaiian Poke Japanese Rice Bowl. I've had tons of poke bowls around Hawaii, so I wasn't expected it to be outstanding. The poke was so-so, there wasn't as much onions as there should have been, and it didn't taste like there was much marinade. This entree was $16 and the fish seemed frozen given its coloration (frozen fish tends to have an unnatural bright red color due to artificial coloring). Granted, this is not the only place where I've seen frozen fish in poke, but at $16, that's closer to the cost of fresh poke in Hawaii (also the same cost as fresh poke at Costco per pound). I also am aware that you're paying for the sides, restaurant atmosphere, and such, but still. The sides were impressive though I got a huge wad of ginger. I do like ginger, but I imagine this as disappointing others who may not be a fan. The poke bowl's rice is also drenched in some kind of sauce that is rather gross with brown rice. I did like the vegetables that came with the poke bowl though. Overall, this place doesn't seem that special though it's kind of nice, just pricey for not so great quality.

I enjoyed my experience here as the service was great and the food was superb. The noise level was a bit loud for me, which made it somewhat difficult to hear the person across from me. We ordered the Cabo Calamari which was tasty and slightly different than your typical calamari appetizer. For my main course, I ordered the Hawaiian Poke Trio with the Salmon, California Style and Ahi Serrano selections. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. My only dislike was surprisingly the salmon poke. Raw salmon is one of my favorite foods and I have tasted some outstandingly fresh salmon at other restaurants as well as fresh salmon poke. The salmon poke lacked flavor and was actually seared rather than raw. For dessert, we all sampled the Dulce de Leche Fried Spring Roll. It was a deliciously creative spin on an Asian-inspired dish. Our server was on top of it and provided excellent service. Thanks! All in all, I will be coming back here or any of their other locations to try out other dishes on their menu (since everything looked good).

I came here with my parents for lunch on a Monday. We were seated immediately and chose to sit in the outdoor patio since inside was kinda noisy. The ambiance was great. I love the design of the restaurant!!!! Super cute. Food was great too. Majority of the menu is seafood obviously but I noticed they do have chicken entrees and pulled pork sliders etc. Each plate is pretty expensive for lunch, generally around the low $20s. We ordered grilled shrimp, swordfish, and a salmon salad. I would definitely come back to try more of their plates!

I've eaten at Pacific Catch in San Francisco but this is my first visit here. Meh. Not impressed. The menu reads well but even though the server asked if med rare was OK the fish was drastically over cooked. The eggplant wasn't spicy and there was more tomato than eggplant. My friend had a huge salad with salmon which was also over cooked but the salad greens were good. I may come back just to see if it was a rough service. The server was good and the food came out fast, so if you're not picky it's probably fine.

This was my first time ever eating seafood. My Husband had received 2 complimentary meals due to his previous experience at a separate location. We decided to eat here.. I am not much of a seafood person so I was a bit reluctant, I ended up ordering the Cod. When the meal arrived it looked delicious. As a took my fork and shredded the first part off, I opened my mouth and closed my eyes. WOW i was impressed. As my husband and I shared moments from the day I look down and realized I had finished my whole plate. It was by far the most tastiest meal I have eaten. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. I know from previous experience that usually when you have comp meals you get mediocre customer service. This was not the case at this location. We will return.

This place has really gone down hill. The fries were soggy and WAY to salty. The fish and chips might as well have been breaded in rock salt. Service was ok, not great. Definitely won't be back.

A little disappointed with this restaurant. Restaurant is cozy but for some reason it is just so damn loud! My friend and I were basically shouting at each other back and forth. It seriously felt like we were dining in a club or something. People around us weren't even being rowdy, the restaurant probably just has poor acoustics. I was really looking forward to poke wasabi bowl but it wasn't anything astounding. The poke was really salty and I felt like the sauce wasn't very evenly distributed. Some bits would have a lot of flavor while others would taste super bland. Wasn't very impressed with this bowl but it did have a lot of fresh veggies in the mix. At least I left the restaurant full! Menu is a little pricey for the quality of the food but I guess the portions are worth it?

I liked it way more than I expected. My mom and I were in the Pruneyard for me to try on wedding dresses and I made reservations here for a quick lunch in between salons. The AC was a bit too cold on a very warm day, but other than that the meal was great. I got the seared ahi tuna salad - very filling with a great dressing. My mom got the two fish taco special - she said one would've been enough for a meal. The restaurant is clean and airy, very comfortable feeling, and they have complimentary sparkling water! The service was perfect - our server came around just enough to refill waters without being disrupting to our conversation.

Mike L.
I was excited with what I ordered, but disappointed with the presentation, flavor and texture. Much like Hailey D., I found that this restaurant was a mish-mash of food types, not quite knowing what they want to specialize in. I can say with certainty that they do not specialize in sushi. The rolls were soggy, falling apart. The food came out so fast, we were very surprised. The wine we had was alright, if not a little overpriced. My partner was happy with his dish, but I also found it a bit unimpressive. Overall, not somewhere I'd come back to for sushi - other dishes might be worth trying.

Every time I go here I remember that I told myself not to come again but being hopeful I have tried anyway on three occasions most recently last week. Each time we experience the same result, a long wait for a mediocre un-inspired meal that is over priced with poor service. I really don't get the menu either. There are few actual fish choices actually on the menu which is instead curiously made up of mostly rice bowls with limited fish options, why? This last visit we had the same waiter as the time before who both times blamed the kitchen for the long wait and cold food and the 15 minute wait each time for a an iced tea on it being a "busy night"....lame. 3 strikes and you're out for this diner.

We love this place. Friendly staff from host to server to bar back. Even owners and managers roll up their sleeves and work together to make this a well-oiled machine of a place. Great food, good wine list, delicious specials. Only con, the bathroom area. Not really well kept and very dark. Contradicts the good vibes of the restaurant. Pro on bathroom, there is a baby changing station.

Amazing restaurant. Exceptional service, very well cooked and tasty food, and reasonable prices considering that the majority of the dishes are seafood. We made reservations for 9:00 p.m. And we were seated immediately at that time. The staff was really friendly, and very attentive, making sure our food and drinks were ok from time to time. We started off with the Trio Hawaiian Poke (5/5). The fish was very well marinated and had amazing texture to it. We also ordered the Ceviche (5/5) and fell in love with the rich, tangy flavor; nearly spicy when you first put it in your mouth. For the main course(s) we ordered the Spicy Tuna Sushi (5/5), Mahi Mahi Tacos (5/5), and the mix of the battered and fried shrimp, fish, etc. (4/5). Each dish really had a unique flavor to it, my personal favorite being the Spicy Tuna. Had a great experience here with the fam, the noise level was nice, ambience very trendy and elegant; and the low lighting set a nice mood. I would definitely recommend coming here if you plan to celebrate any special occasions, or just was to fine regularly. Either way, your expectations will be met.

we were in the Santa Clara neighborhood and want a place to eat. and this place looked interesting on yelp. The place is very well kept, and its got a very urban vibe. We ordered poke, tacos, the special for the day the sole fish on butternut squash. The poke is really out of this world, it tasted fresh and was prefect with no flaws, i even like the little bowl cup they presented it on. The tacos had 3 kinds of fish in it, but they were all fried. i wish we knew that before we ordered, we would have wanted them grilled. they were a bit salty but tasted decent. the sole fish was good but not great, the stars of the dish was the butternut squash and mushrooms. but sadly the fish wasn't the as good as i would have liked. But will definitely try this place again.

This place was very delicious. I started with the Baja shrimp civiche which was amazing! Then I had the Korean sticky rib rice bowl which was good. But my bf ordered the poke which was soooo delicious especially the salmon poke. Service was also amazing she even brought a sample for us and the manger came out to ask how things were going. 5 stars

Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I've eaten at catch in the Westfield Mall in SF and enjoyed it, so it was nice to see the full restaurant. Got here around 9:30pm so they were winding down. Ordered the California Poke, which I must say was the most delicious Poke I've ever had. It had avocado, crab, green onions, and of course tuna, it had amazing flavor. It was served with wontons. For entree I ordered the ahi sandwich but they had ran out of bread. I ended up with the taco sampler (shrimp, mahi mahi and cod). They were good, but not out of this world. My husband had the Sole entree and it was very good. Looking forward to trying more dishes here.

Better than we expected! Had lots of friends that talk about this place, and how good the food is. And they are very correct. The service was awesome, they were super friendly and on top of things! The food was superb, the sushi roll appetizers and ceviche were sooo good. We ended up with ahi Hawaiian rice bowl as the entree, and it was all pretty great! I definitely recommend this place, I know I'll be back!

Had a reservation for Saturday night and they seated us immediately. Our group enjoyed the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl and Korean bowl, tacos and salmon special for the evening. Food was well-prepared, generous portions at appropriate prices. Got to sit in the covered patio area which was comfy and without need for the space heaters that hang from the ceiling. Saw a yelp review recommending the de lecce spring roll with ice cream and that just capped of the evening meal! Recommend -- be patient with the parking at the Pruneyard, but will return.

Had this place bookmarked for so long I'm glad I finally went! After going the first time with my boyfriend I attended a going away party for one of my former coworkers. Both times service was superb and food was awesome! Japanese wasabi bowl with ahi poke, no ginger and no onions - 5 STARS! Calamari - 4 stars Ecstasy roll - 5 stars Gosh this food is just so good and the poke was so fresh and flavorful. The bowls can feed two people they're so large but no quality is lost with the quantity. Good beers on tap and a few tvs at the bar to catch games. Great spot for dinner or appetizers with friends or family. I will be back soon!

Back again. Awesome again. The welcome experience seems to have improved - I was seated gladly this time! The service is that same 3.1 out of 5 though hee hee! The DYNAMITE food is a perfect way to get me to ignore "good not great" service! As always can't wait to visit PC again!

My boyfriend and I really wanted to try this place because we've heard so much great things about their tacos. We arrived an hour or so before closing and we greeted by Brian? Brandon?, sorry, I wish I remembered. He was super friendly and explained the menu to us; it was our first time. We started with the poke starter. Although it was good, it didn't taste as fresh as it could be, but I'd still get it again. We both ordered our own taco plates. Definitely enjoyed it and didn't disappoint one bit! I'd pass on the beans though, not a fan. It was getting to closing time and it was hard to get our waiters attention for the check. Nonetheless, fair prices, spacious restaurant, easy parking. I'll be back sometime soon

We came for lunch. Brutal start with my family of 4 beyond hungry while everyone in the restaurant made eye contact with me but no one came to seat us. We almost left. As I was stepping for the door a a man rushing over to set us. Ended up being our server. Server was nice and attentive. Food was pretty good. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Atmosphere was pretty casual. All in all we had an okay experience. We will not be rushing back but if we are in the area again we might give it another go.

We had a great dinner tonight at Pacific Catch. Attentive wait staff. Delicious soup and salad and teriyaki bowl. We tried the special dessert--the grilled pineapple ice cream. Tasted great, just couldn't cut the pineapple. I've always loved this restaurant and they redeemed themselves tonight.

So though I have eaten here so many times in the past couple of months, this review is mainly for La Shae and her function as our waitress. Called to make a reservation yesterday for tonight - one guy said "we'll see what we could do" (I requested the patio room since that is the only place I will ever eat in due to the calmer less hectic main dining room) - the other guy a half hour later said - "we'll see to it that you are seated in the patio". Thankfully in the Patio, La Shae greets us with a huge smile and tells us that she would be here for us when we were ready. And that was just the beginning! La Shae was sooooooooo outstanding in customer service and sooooooooooo customer sensitive that I will literally from this point on always request to have her as my server. The Taco's were excellent as were the trimmings and sides. The dessert was delicious. The coffee was superb. Thanks Pacific Catch for hiring La Shae!!

Am definitely a fan of this location. It's got cool decor with blue bottle lights. I had the Hawaiian poke tuna salad. It was fresh, avocado was good and the dressing on the bottom was delicious. Highly recommend this place!

Went here for the first time the other day for lunch. Wasn't crowded for a Saturday lunch, so that was a plus! The atmosphere was modern, yet still warm and comfortable. The food was great! I got the Hawaiian rice bowl with brown rice and it blew my mind! The only bad thing I can say about it was that the piece of salmon could have been a bit larger for a $16 meal. Even so, the flavors were great and over all it was a huge meal! Big enough to share with someone and have an appetizer with. My husband got one of their sushi rolls. Definitely wasn't the best sushi I've tried, but was decent. Wouldn't get the sushi again though. I can't remember the name if the drink I got, but it was amazing! It had gin, kiwi, cucumber, and lemon (or lime) juice. Very refreshing and strong enough to feel the alcohol. The service was decent. It wasn't over the top great, but it was what is expected when going to a restaurant. Nothing to complain about. Overall, I will be coming here again. Just not at dinner time because the line always looks horrendous. Make a reservation if going at night, especially on the weekend!

Service gets 2 thumbs up. Upon hearing that it was our first time there, the waitress was so happy to tell us about her recommendations. So here's the food we tried: Appetizers: Ecstasy- 3 stars - it was recommended to us. The fish was fresh, but without rice, the fried seaweed wrapping was overpowering the fish and avocado inside. Jiro is right, I prefer my sushi with rice!! Ahi Serrano Poke - 4 stars - The thinly sliced Serrano adds a lot of kick to it, but the spicy aioli masked the freshness of the fish a bit. The fish was tender and not fishy though! Entree; Vietnamese Steak Sandwich - 5 Stars!! - It's your Vietnamese sandwich with juicy and flavorful grilled steak. The break was crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, and the original flavor of the meat was strong despite the sriracha aioli, which adds a little spiciness. The portion is decent, definitely enough to feed a girl! Mahi mahi tacos - 3 stars - okay, it's 2 stars for me and 4 for my boyfriend. That said, you will most likely enjoy it if you like fish tacos. I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas, no tacos are never my first choice for food. The filling was a little bland too, but fish was good like those in every dish. Sweet potato fries - 5 stars - for some reason the fries was sweeter than anything I've tried elsewhere. It was very good, crunchy and sweet! The side salad was surprisingly nitritious, with mixed greens and olives and arugula and radish... But I would still choose the sweet potato fries, haha.

We had a birthday lunch here for a larger group and had a great time. Our server, I believe his name was Salvador, was very attentive and kind. We got our food quickly, and it was all delicious. We enjoyed a few appetizers, sushi, sandwiches, tacos, and rice bowls. So hard to pick a favorite item! Also, everything was exactly as we ordered since we had someone in our group with special dietary needs, so that was much appreciated. Thanks for a great time, we will definitely be back.

Finding the place is right next to Marshalls... However, park on the opposite side of the pruneyard and walk.. after the meal its worth it. Hostess and waiter were nice; didn't interrupt at awkward conversation points. Place had a lot of room and no pushing your chair into another. Ordered: Rice Bowl - Japanese Wasabi with crab salad - tasted like a giant California roll and it was great. Two Tacos - Mahi Mahi - I would want my fish to have more flavor as well as more cheese on my beans, but that's a personal preference... the tacos themselves were good. No desert as this was enough food with sodas at $45. The thing that is of value for me is that there are a lot of menu items I want to try out unlike other places that I only like 1 or 2 items. Will come back.

Marc K.
Surprisingly good for a chain in a mall. I had their California roll which was fresh and tasty along with a Hawaiian fish that was also fresh and tasty. Their soups are good when they offer them and they have a nice large patio outside. Aside from the parking lot which is usually pretty crowded I was happy with the meal.

Cathy N.
Yum love the fooooood here! I usually come for their Japanese Wasabi bowls with ahi tuna and grilled salmon. Get it with half salad and half brown rice, and it also comes with seaweed salad, daikon, cucumber, shredded nori, and a tasty soy wasabi sauce. So good! Yesterday we made it for happy hour and Tuesday was 1/2 off ANY bottle of wine! So awesome! Of course we had to have a bottle of chardonnay :) Also ordered the Ahi Serrano poke, shrimp ceviche, the spicy tuna roll, and the Korean sticky ribs. All were sooo yummy!! The poke, ceviche, and ribs were only $7 each and tuna roll was $5. Great happy hour prices and food was delicious! Will def be back soon!

The mahi mahi fish tacos were great, came with a side salad (had greens, edamame, sprouts). The tacos had avocado and some type of salsa in them, everything went really well together. My friend got the mixed catch basket and it was tiny, basically like an appetizer sizing but it isn't listed as one. The two pieces of fish were so tiny, together they would be one piece of fried fish from fish & chips at any other establishment. This was really disappointing :( Also note that parking here is difficult during peak hours. I don't know if I would come back here since my first experience didn't seem worth the money but I might try it again just to try out other things from their extensive menu

Don't bother with the sushi. I wish they gave more food for the fish and chips especially for the price. I think we got around 10 French fries with our fish and chips. Salads are good though.

I've been here a few times now and every time I leave a happy camper. This place is located in the busy Pruneyard shopping center. Parking in front is almost impossible so don't waste your time, park in the parking structure in the back of the shopping center. We decided to drop by last night (Friday) at almost 6pm. I say that because their Happy Hour ends at 6pm and we ALMOST missed it! As always we sat at the bar which seemed somewhat slow for a Friday night but then again it was still considered the tail end of the Christmas Holiday so a lot of folks were sill enjoying their vacations out of town. Anyway, since we noticed it was 5:55 we asked if we could order 4 glasses of wine so we could slide into the Happy Hour pricing. James (our bartender) said "of course"! 4 stars for James alone! We also ordered two tacos (cabo and traditional). Wine came quick and we enjoyed our first glass while waiting for our tacos. By this point the bar started filling up a bit more and the dinning area was getting a little more lively. This spot is nicely decorated. Casual yet classy with a modern hip feel. The menu and decor is Asian with a twist. Our tacos came out quick and hot. We both agreed the shrimp one was our favorite. But both were good. After we finished those we ordered our entrees. 2 piece fish and chips with sweet potato fries - perfectly cooked, not greasy and the fries were yummy. Japanese Wasabi Ahi bowl 1/2 & 1/2: I always get the Ahi salad and wanted something different. This was the perfect blend of healthy and light with stick to your ribs filler. 1/2 salad and 1/2 rice. The rice absorbed the yummy goodness of the dressing which honestly is my favorite part. I actually ask for an extra side of it. The salad part has all kinds of interesting add in's. The cucumber salad is unique and the daikon spouts add a nice crunch. Fresh avocado slices enhance the balanced bite and adds that soft smooth texture to the salad. But besides the yummy dressing, it's the Ahi who is the star of the show. I'm always sad when I've realized it's all gone. This is a great dish and HUGE! I'd add extra Ahi and split it with someone next time for sure. I left a lot in the bowl and James gave me a hard time. James ... my husband and I both agreed he is a fantastic bartender. Honestly, bad service can ruin a great meal and a bad meal can be over looked with great service. Lucky for us we received both at Pacific Catch. This was our 5th time here and we'll absolutely be back to try their new Crab menu!! Yum

This place was EXPENSIVE! Small portions for the price. Our waiter was on point. They had a couple choices for water. That was pretty cool. The dessert, Dulce de Leche was amazing! Little Eggrolls with Carmel Sauce to dip them in. We've only been back for those, and that was for pickup. Maybe if I win the lottery and can afford to spend $100 for two people and still be hungry, I might return!

Vicky H.
Their poke here was so good.. and had so many different varieties and flavors to pick from. The spicy fries were great as well. Our shared entree, the salmon, was just okay. A little too sweet and tangy for my liking. Mahi mahi tacos were very light but lacked flavor in my opinion. Will definitely come try their happy hour. And poke.
Great food, service was good.. and they have good craftbeer on tap! Would go back again.

Alex K.
Great seafood! I love that they take reservations, for some reason this service seems to be a dying commodity, so big ups to you, Pacific Catch! Service was great absolutely no complaints. Appreciated the edamame and pretzel snacks. Came here during crab fest, tried: Crab and shrimp dumplings -incredible sweet & savory sauce, Ahi Serrano - a hearty serving, feeds two, quality tuna! Thai Curry Rice bowl add Mahi Mahi - tons of veggies and a big slab o fresh fish, curry sauce was perfect, not overpowering whatsoever, just the right amount of spice. Crab Melt w sweet potato fries - I think I ate half of his sweet potato fries, they were so delicious!! The sandwich was a little over priced but none the less it was pretty sizable and very tasty. I like this joint, definitely putting Pacific Catch into the rotation!

We had a party of 15 people last night for a friend's going away party and everything was great! The wait time was really not bad for food and drinks considering how many people they where accommodating. Imi feel horrible for forgetting our waitresses name, but she was great! Actually, the whole staff i observed was great. I got to sample a lot of plates including shrimp ceviche, Korean ribs, salmon rice bowl, and ahi tuna salad. All the plates where great and portions where perfect. I also had a couple pomegranate ginger martinis, Which of course where delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong here.

I have tried this place a few times. From the outside it looks that this place is top notch but is really not. My wife had fish which was dry. Service was very slow and they were not checking in often to see if we needed anything more. The kids burger was dry and overpriced. Parking can be difficult at times.

Despite the good reviews I've heard, I've dined at this location once in the past and was not impressed... I was in the the area again yesterday and decided to give it a go. They offered free sparkling water, that was a nice touch. We ordered Calamari, Salmon Poke, Crab Louie Salad, Crab Chowder, and Rising Sun Sushi which had tempura shrimp, avocado, ginger, cucumber wrapped in ahi tuna, ponzu. Most of the items were just "OK", and the raw fish was not fresh.... Service was not so great...you would think if you ordered chowder, you would receive a soup spoon along with it. We had to call our waitress back to ask for one =/

I had the swordfish with squash pancakes served with a spicy avocado salsa. Sat outside and enjoyed a summer night with a few blueberry mojitos. Flavor overload. Everything was absolutely delicious. Hip playlist filled the outdoor dining area with feel good 90's tunes. Also tried the crab salad that was great as well. Had a great time and will be coming back to explore their exciting menu of cocktails and food.

My dad and I went here yesterday for a 4th of July dinner. It wasn't too packed at all and we even were able to sit on the patio. The restaurant is cute and has a nice Hawaiian feel to it. The patio is also laid out quite well. The workers are very kind and patient. The wait time wasn't too bad at all and that's says a lot even when the food is great. First off, snacks are put out on the table consisting if goldfish-shaped pretzels and edamame. I found the pretzels to be very cute and good! Next, we order the calamari and it was DELICIOUS. The calamari is light and fried in coconut milk. It melted right in your mouth and the dipping sauce was a great complement. Even the lemons that were also fried was very refreshing and good. I ordered the Hawaiian teriyaki pan Asian rice bowl and I don't regret it! I substituted the white rice for 1/2 brown and 1/2 salad. I also added grilled salmon for $1. I loved this dish. If it wasn't for the fact I am trying to watch my might, I wouldn't have regret eating all the food! Don't get me wrong, the meals are very light, yet full of flavor. You just get a lot for your money! I highly recommend trying this place out!

My boyfriend and I love this place, the food is so good and good service too... This place is close to my house and the food came out fast, we will come back soon
This was our first time eating anything from here. We ordered through Door Dash, and the food was delivered on time. Ecstasy Roll: asked for no avocados (I'm allergic) and there was avocado. They were smaller than I thought, especially after reading reviews and seeing pictures. As far as taste, it was "eh". Edamame: we have no idea, because they forgot. We have heard nothing but good and yummy things about this restaurant from friends, so we're hoping it was just a bad night.

Had 6 family members here for an early Saturday dinner. However, it seems 5:45 wasn't early enough. First off, traffic @ Pruneyard was a mess. Traffic very slow and the speed bumps are HUGE! (Any taller and they would require aircraft warning lights.) No parking spaces found, so we dropped the ladies off in front and went around to the parking garage in back. They first sat us out on the covered patio area, but it was drafty so we asked to be seated inside. Re-seating took about 8 min. The place was busy and service was very slow during our visit. The staff was friendly though and did know the menu. The calamari and coconut shrimp appetizers were very good. Rice bowls were fair = too much rice + not enough fish / veggies. The opah "special" was horrible. Burnt brussel sprouts, over/under cooked fish and odd tasting rice. We told the waiter that it was not a good meal and were comped. Coffee and dessert brownie were good as was the beer selection. Nicely decorated restaurant, but based on the food, slow service and the hassle of traffic/parking at this location, we will not be returning.

Came in for a late lunch/early dinner and was asked to be seated at the bar. We decided to share the appetizers and ordered the delicious sticky ribs, the Serrano poke, and several tacos. All of the presentation and flavor was there. When you walk in restaurant's presentation immediately begins your visit with high expectations that the food follows promptly! Though, the service was a full star less of what you'd expect, perhaps they were under staffed because it had taken about 10 minutes just to receive our waters prior to ordering and it had taken a full 50 minutes to receive our food, when the restaurant wasn't very busy. Thank god the food was beautiful as much as our environment was. After dinner we were still ready for desserts and it had taken 45 minutes for us to receive six pieces of ice cream mochi and melted chocolate. One kitchen staff member looked so miserable when she had to serve it to us and even gave our waiter attitude in front of us as if she was still upset that she had to give someone just a plate of mochi? Perhaps next time I will visit upon normal hours instead of happy hour.

If you are Asian, don't go. (And if you're Asian, I think you'll understand what I'm trying to say.) The food is Asian-fusion and it's terrible, terrible. Just so we're clear, I love Panda Express and PF Chang, and this is NOT one of those places. If you're Asian and/or you have a deeper understanding of some of the complexities of Asian food (simply because you just ate it most of your life), you will be thoroughly disappointed. Where do I begin?? Most Asians don't drench our rice and/or raw fish in soy sauce. This place does that. WEIRD. The tacos were so terrible that i didn't even finish them. There were not Mexican, Asian, or anything. They were just not good. Sweet potato fries? Ugh. How do you screw that up? It tasted bad and the texture was wrong. And then the rice bowls....UGH. So why the high stars? Their portions are huge so I suspect that alot of people like that. Like I said, I am not a snob about Asian food -- I love Panda. Heck, I even love the kimchee fried rice from Trader Joe's....well, you get the point. I would have given this place 1 star but our server was too sweet. She was great!

2.5 stars.. This place is so overrated. I really don't get what all the fuss is about. I had a ceviche trio and the fish did not taste fresh AT ALL. One of the worst ceviche dishes I've ever had..we also ordered the a sampler dish with fried oysters, coconut shrimp, and fish and chips. The oysters were really good and the shrimp decent but the fish was dry and subpar at best. Ambience was nice and it had an open space with semi trendy decor but all in all, I go to a restaurant for the food.... Not sure if ill be back..if I do go it will only be for the oysters and shrimp.

The Hawaiian poke bowl and the Hawaiian poke appetizer were super fresh and delicious. I love going to this place! It's a great place to go to for dates and birthday! I went here for my birthday and got a free birthday dessert! YOU MUST get the dulce de leche spring rolls for dessert!! It was soooo crispy and full of caramel goodness! Overall, service was helpful when needing recommendations on what to eat. I would come here again!

I really like coming here. The seafood is fresh. There's lots of choices. There's a full bar. Who can complain about that? Because this place is popular, it gets very, very busy. I'd say if you know you're coming ahead of time, make a reservation. They're super nice about that. Parking is kind of a nightmare so be ready to brave a busy parking lot (as most of the Pruneyard is like that). After you order, you always start with edamame and goldfish pretzel crackers. Love that! The drinks are good. I've had straight whiskey, an old fashioned, wine. Also, bringing your own wine: $10 corkage fee. Things I've ordered: Pacific Ceviche Trio Sweet Potato Fries Thai Curry Rice Bowl with Shrimp Satay Ahi Salad Other people have ordered: Fish and Chips Island Tacos Steelhead on Cedar Plank (Special)

I get it. It's seafood from the sea. But did everything have to taste as salty as the water it came from?? I'm usually all for salt, but I couldn't stomach more than a few tiny bites from all the dishes. The hawaiian poke was way too salty; even the almost-stale plain tortilla chips couldn't help it. The taco platter was also too salty. The baja batter was soggy and the meats were too chewy. The service however, was pretty good even for a busy Saturday night.

Thought this needed a review. I came yesterday around 9ish I don't remember our servers name but she great. Service was fast And the good was AMAZING. Mouth drooling, I think I have to come back later this week! I got the rice bowl! I split it with a friend because the bowls are gigantic! I don't remember the name but it's the one with avacado and wasabi. We got the Hawaiian poke and chicken! Poke was amazingly fresh and the chicken was juicy. We got it with brown rice. The combination of the bowl was impeccable! The sushi, tuna roll, was alright, there are better sushi places. I think they are known for the bowls so get that! The only thing though that deducts a star is the hostess aren't very nice. They were kind of non welcoming. ( Not smiling, a tad but moody) But other then that definitely will be coming back!

Let me just say that the portions were huge. If getting the bowls, definitely order half rice and half greens because half the rice is more than enough. I ordered the Hawaiin Teriyaki bowl with grilled mahi mahi and my mom ordered the salmon. It was really good and tasted fresh. I liked how they included pineapples in the bowl. Gave it a nice flavor. However, my mom didn't think the sauce was the best. The carrots were cut very big but it was okay. My sister seemed to have enjoyed the fried oysters and fish n chips. I would come back next time I'm visiting the area but I like to explore :P

I've been here to this location so far 3 times. I usually go to the locations in SF. The menus seem a little different among the locations that I've been to but in terms of the "main foods" it's pretty similar. If you guys ever get a chance to go to SF I recommend you go there and check it out as well! So I come here when I crave the most weirdest things.. such as sushi & french fries. One thing I always have to get here is the Hawaiian Poke/Bowl. I love love love love love it. Sooo good. The portion is really big so don't hesitate or doubt yourself when you see the price. You get what you pay for. I love how they give a lot of fish & avocado. It's sooo goood omgggg.

Pacific Catch is a welcome addition to Pruneyard along with the always excellent Patxi's Pizza in it's newest South Bay location. I had heard of Pacific Catch on that iPhone commercial of a few years back (I assume this is related to the SF restaurant of the same name) and had tried their signature poke at a few Yelp events. Upon entering, you're greeted by a new and modern restaurant space. There's a great bar area and plenty of seating in the nicely lit interior. The decor definitely raises the bar for Pruneyard and was the highlight of our evening. We were seated in a adjacent section to the main dining room that features a wall waterfall and warm ceiling heat lamps. Upon being seated, we were presented with the daily specials (mainly entrees) and the regular menu. For some reason, when I heard the name Pacific Catch, I expected a traditional seafood restaurant. But the menu only confused and confounded me. Instead of being divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, the menu highlights their signature appetizers and the plentiful bar options. If you look for entrees (ie: fresh fish), you are instead met with a hodge pose of items that are a cross between Asian fusion and Americanized fare. The main offerings here are sushi rolls, ethnic rice bowls, seafood salads, sandwiches, and island tacos. How exactly all these different items are related is unknown to me and it's hard to see what the restaurant is striving to offer. I would have thought fresh seafood, but many items are cooked and others deep fried. The ethnic rice bowls were a similar hodgepodge offering Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai "influenced" rice bowls. The problem is that in the Bay Area, there are the originals that do the real thing but much better. Our Thai rice bowl had barely any curry and was more a vegetable stir fry on rice. The Japanese poke was like a chirashi bowl but without the variety or taste. Plus they charge more if you want tofu with your rice bowl. So I guess this is a health food place right? Than what's up with all the deep fried seafood platters? In the end, Pacific Catch seems to me to be trying to be that one stop restaurant to satisfy any craving (sandwich, tacos, salads, Asian rice bowls) but ends up probably not doing any particularly well. With higher prices than the competition ($15 rice bowls, $19 with two items if you want to mix Thai curry with Korean BBQ ribs???), the decor and bar is the main draw here. As a final spin on the place, they serve warm edamame and gold fish crackers as complimentary appetizers and have store bought mochi that they sell you individually for $1.50 and that you can buy to dip in chocolate like a French fondue. Puzzling to me, but judging by the clientele maybe I'm the minority. I would expect Pacific Catch to be a hit in a place like the Midwest but the Bay Area deserves better. I hope they work on a clearer restaurant vision cause I'd love to come back to the nice restaurant space. 2.5 Stars. Pacific Catch takes credit cards including Amex.

Really should be around a 3.5. The food is really good. The steak taco was ridiculously good and 2 of them will suffice if you're hungry. I just had to bring the rating down because our server was not good at all - very unprofessional and inattentive. If you just care about the food - go for it. If you're in to the "entire package" this place is a maybe.
Only been here once and thought the food was okay. A friend highly raved about their sushi rolls and raw seafood but being pregnant, I stuck to the Korean pork ribs rice plate. It came with five small pieces of ribs & veggies on top with rice at the bottom. It would be nice to get more meat for the price. For dessert, I tried the brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge. This was just okay--not bad but not outstanding either. I prefer the brownies warm but I suppose they can't put ice cream right on top if it was. Service is good. Highly recommend making reservations. Went there Wednesday at noon and the restaurant was pretty full.

Opted for the rice bowl w/ Hawaiian poke. Soooo good! In it has seaweed salad, raw tuna, avocado, ginger, and your choice of either brown rice, white rice, or lettuce. The waiter recommended to mix half lettuce & half rice. Wouldn't know how it is, since I just got white rice, but I'll def try it next time. For $15 a bowl, it's not bad, considering how yummy this is. Next time I'll probably try their fish tacos or something. Oh & they also bring out a huge, pretty bottle of water so that you could refill your cups whenever you want. Overall, great food, cozy & beautiful atmosphere, and attentive service. Will be back!

Heard excellent reviews of Pacific Catch and stopped by for a drink and some apps. Crowded but hostesses and management are hard at work to make sure everyone waiting has been accounted for. Jerry asked us if we were helped. We thought the bar table was reserved and he told us to come in and seated us ASAP. We said it was our first time, he immediately knew what would be perfect and chose the calamari as our app for us which was quick to arrive and delicious with it's breading and deep fried lemon and chili slices! A great first impression! Maria was our waitress; a sweetheart and as fast as one can be during prime time on a Saturday night. My friend enjoyed her edamame and veggies. Drinks were tasty, too. Tony, the manager, came over to our table and greeted us, asking how the food tasted and if we were happy with our experience! As we were leaving, they all said goodbye and thanked us for coming by and made sure to ask us to see them again soon. If only all restaurants had staff like this! Happy customers thanks to their by the book customer service. I remember all their names and for good reason, so that says a whole lot. Could not ask for a friendlier staff and will definitely go back again soon. Tony explained their happy hour specials so it looks like the girls and I will be hitting up Pacific Catch in a week or two! Can't wait to try more food and drink options. Thank you to the staff for everything :)

Just not sold on this place. It's fresh seafood with fresh veggies, I know I should love it, but there was just something about it that I was not sold on. The staff was friendly enough, that's not the issue. The portions were fine. The restaurant was clean, plenty of space between tables so you don't feel jammed in. Hmmm...what seems to be the problem then? Oh yea, it's probably the fact that they charge $9 for a california roll and $12 for a grilled steak Banh Mi. "Our California rolls are made with real fresh crab and fresh avocados." That was the waitress' answer when I asked her why the roll was $9. Call me cheap if you want, but price is a big factor in my ratings, and even though Pacific Catch is a pretty good restaurant, it's just hard to go back again with their pricepoints on menu items I can get at other restaurants for 40-50% cheaper.

This is my "go to" place for lunch in the Pruneyard. I almost don't want to write a review since that would mean it's only going to get more crowded. I've starting using OpenTable to make reservations -- you simply can't go at night at 7PM and expect to get a table.

Wine T.
It was just ok. Food was nothing special. I think the appearl must be that it is inexpensive and they give you a lot of food. I'd rather spend more and go somewhere that has a chef and not just a cook. It's mass produced food, in my opinion. I would not go back. Service was only so-so too.

Maria S.
Service at this place has always been a coin toss, some servers are good and some completely clueless. My husband and I really like the poke and the ahi tuna sandwiches with sweet potato fries, so just resign ourselves to possible delays and go anyway. This time the service was just crazy bad. We sat down, ordered our drinks and food, in 20 minutes I reminded the server about the drinks, in 5 more minutes they arrived, one of them wrong. Not some complex cocktails or anything, just a juice and a beer. In 10 more minutes there was no sign of food, so I went up front and asked to change our server. A gentleman who must be the manager came up and helped get things fixed. Still took another 5-10 minutes for the poke so it had not even been started I guess. The poke was very different from what we had eaten there many times before. Much less spicy and generally much worse. The shrimp special tasted fake Asian in the worst tradition of P.F.Chang, edible but not great, way too salty. Ahi tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries was good as usual. The manager apologized for the delays and took the drinks and poke off our bill, which is the only reason this review is not one star but two. We are not coming back though.

Holy poke! This is some of the best food I've ever had in my 28 years! Who woulda thought that a seafood restaurant would have such a solid and delicious selection of vegan foods on their menu? I had the tofu poke which was fabulous. The edamame salad with miso dressing was also quite nice, but I do loathe shittakes. They kinda ruined the salad for me with their extremely pungent flavor. For my entree I had the tofu curry bowl with brown rice. I mean I am still in disbelief at the flavor this curry packed. If I am ever back to Cali to visit, I will definitely be going here again :9 (and I CANNOT WAIT)!

Sooo... where's the rest of my food? Came to this place for lunch to get my seafood fix on. The hubby and I sat in the covered patio area since it was a nice sunny day. There are a lot of options on their regular menu, but the specials menu caught my eye. Grilled mahi mahi with green curry and crispy coconut rice cakes. Sounded like a winner to me. The dish was actually "meh". The mahi mahi filet was definitely small and the green curry was missing that punch. The side of under cooked and odd seasoned eggplant was a no go. The crispy coconut rice cake was probably the best part. I tried a bite of my friend's Japanese Wasabi bowl. It's like having sushi but in bowl form. I love how you can pick what kind of fish you want for your bowl - seared ahi, grilled salmon, etc. You can even pick crab salad for this particular bowl. It was a nice mixture and balance of ingredients from the wakame salad to soy-wasabi sauce. The best thing we had was the Pacific Ceviche Trio. Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke and Peruvian scallop ceviche goodness with all taro, corn and wonton chips to go with them! Everything is super fresh and super delicious with all their chips. The Hawaiian poke with a wonton chip was my favorite. It's meant to be eaten as an appetizer, but I could eat this as a meal. Unfortunately, everything here is overpriced for the amount of seafood you get. Next time, I'll check out their happy hour menu.

Regrettably I have to say that although I've had a pleasant experience in the past I am very disappointed with the management. I had heard great things about their happy hour and thought it'd be a perfect place for a happy hour social event. The manager was completely uncooperative & unwilling to reserve tables to accommodate a social for 25 women. You'd think they'd be delighted knowing they have such great business. He brushed me off like he could care less. It blows me away how people in management thinks its okay to be so rude. If that's the way he treats his customers I'd hate to think how he treats his employees. His NO energy makes me never want to eat there ever again. I think we'll head back to Rendezvous in downtown Campbell where the manager was excited to support a local women's organization. Shame on you PC, you may have rules you have to follow but your deliver was disgusting.

Service was terrible, food was decent. Waited way too long for our food to come out. Asked the bartenders 3 times to put the giants game before they did. Forgot to put our sushi order in until way after our apps and other entrees were already brought up. Shitty attitudes all around. Pay for the price I guess.

Frank K.
We love the food, especially the tacos and poke. One request, though, would be to have an option of grilled seafood in taco. We're steering clear of fried foods and the healthy nature of Pacifica Catch's menu could accommodate this alternative style.

Kalipo K.
Been trolling around for a solid seafood restaurant in the South Bay for some time and happy to report that the Pacific Catch, has been a consistently great tasting experience. It's actually more of a fusion seafood place with Asian influence. If that makes sense. Located in the coming back to life Pruneyard, PC adores with indoor and outdoor seating. Casual to date-night dress and clientele of family and first dates. I always order too much. Start with a house special tropical cocktail or chose from draft beer or full bar, add poki and a meal-there's no room for dessert. In fact I've never had dessert at PC. My suggestion-get the poki trio DELICIOUS! Then split a meal. Grilled mahi mahi, Ono and many other fabulous dishes are on the menu. Reservations through Open Table Yelp link or call ahead for wait times. No telephone sign ins. Summer time is busy! Wait staff nothing impressive but friendly and competent. Restrooms fair but what's with the yard wide sink with gutter guard drain?!! Shopping center parking or garage to the rear.

I was on a business trip and stayed in the hotel behind the restaurant. I wasn't sure how this was going to work out, but I didn't have a car so I was stuck there. So in I go. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the poke and it was excellent with a nice cold, dry beer. I then wolfed down the tacos because they were damn good. I didn't think I was that hungry, but I was wrong. The only reason it is not 5 stars was the service. I know I was alone and sitting off to the side in the bar, but no reason to be at least aware I was there. Still, once the waitress came, things did get better. I would go back.

Parking is always a hassle in The Pruneyard, even on a Tuesday night. I was lucky enough to find a spot right out front. Between the four of us that were there, we ordered the Hawaiian Poke Salad, Hawaiian Poke Wasabi Bowl, Mixed Catch Basket, and Crispy Oyster Basket. My Wasabi Bowl was yummy and very filling! I was only able to eat half. The poke was fresh and nicely seasoned/flavored. The Hawaiian Poke Salad was exactly like the Wasabi Bowl, except the rice was replaced with greens. I think next time I'll try the half rice/half salad option. I didn't get to try the fried seafood, but my friends said it was good and the side of sweet potato fries were delicious! One of my friends had a free dessert offer from checking in on foursquare. We decided to get the Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls. It came out warm, fresh, and with a side of vanilla ice cream. So good! The food was great and I'd love to come back and try out some of the other items on the menu. However the service was a bit slow. It seems like we waited a long time for our waiter to take our order, serve our food, get the check, etc. We never even got a water refill. Not sure what was going on, but service could've been better.

I kind of feel funny giving this 5 stars, because it is very noisy during the dinner hour. We try to go during off hours. But it happens that the food, drink, and service really rate 5 stars, and I just cannot downgrade it based on it being so busy and noisy weekend nights. The menu is inventive, with a Polynesian theme. They have a really good wine and beer selection, as well as quite an array of interesting cocktails. The servers start with complimentary edamame & nibbles and sparkling water. The specials have always been outstanding, the rice bowls are amazing and the poke is really quite tasty. The food is always presented in a fun and appealing way. The servers are normally very attentive and friendly. I have not been very impressed with their desserts, but I don't think dessert is really their focus anyway. Anyway, we've eaten here more than a dozen times and liked it a lot; so I thought I owed them a review. It's challenging for a restaurant to be good that consistently, so they deserve a lot of credit for that.

Great location, atmosphere and service. Food was ok. I ordered a Chipotle salad (yes I know who orders chicken at a seafood restaurant) and it was smothered with dressing. Plus the chicken had BBQ sauce on it making it a bit too sweet and just too much external sauce/dressing for my tastes. My husband ordered a crab salad which he really liked. I would have ordered seafood but I found most of it had too much of an Asian flair for my taste. I'd also say the menu was at least half sushi and/or rice bowl oriented entrees. Had I known this in advance, I may have chosen another restaurant and come here when I wanted sushi. The menu items focused on a lot of soy and sweet. The roasted artichoke with aioli as an appetizer was great. Prices were pretty good-I was expecting to pay more. I would come back for appetizers or happy hour.

Went here with my Mom, daughter and boyfriend for our Mother's Day lunch. Got there at 11:30am and was seated right away. Service was terrific. Tiffany was quite attentive to us. And when asked about her recommendations for entrees, she knows her dishes and recommended good variety of dishes for us. My Mom is vegetarian and PC was able to accommodate her with a few very nicely done dishes. The appetizers were definitely good - poke and sushi. Our Ono and mahi mahi were a bit overcooked so it was a tad dry. Our bloody Mary's were just perfect with extra spicy and extra olives! Definitely will come back again. I may just do a bunch of appetizers and salad only because I'm able to enjoy a bigger variety at one sitting :) It's more of a 3.75 score than 3 for this place.

Jennifer P.
The food has been pretty consistent the several times i've been here. It's pretty well cooked seafood with lots of variety in how they prepare. They have rice bowls, tacos, salads, sandwiches and rolls. It's not a large selection in types of fish, you pretty much get salmon or ahi tuna for the main courses, but i guess those are safe bets. Their sweet potato fries are yummy and just right in the crispy department and their spicy fries are well seasoned. My only grip with every single time i've been here is their slow service. Whether it's a party of 2 or 8, it seems to take them forever to check in with us. We sat around for a while before we got water and then they took our appetizer order and we sat around for another while before they took our food order. I wouldn't necessarily come here to fulfill my sushi craving, but if i want a pretty decent sized salad or rice bowl, this is a pretty good choice. Fish tacos i can probably get them somewhere cheaper, but they are good. Parking in the Pruneyard can be a challenge if you decide to come for lunch after 12pm. So be warned as all the restaurants in the area get pretty full.

This place is just okay in my opinion. Can get really loud, especially with the many staff members chillin around and continuously coming to different tables asking the same question. you never know whos your real server and some of em have nasty attitudes when giving the food. Stick to the salad and poke though

Had a great dinner here with the parents. I had never eaten here and was curious to check it out. I was STOKED to see they use Flor De Caña Rum in their cocktails. The house Mai Tai was very strong and smooth. The Dark and Stormy was nice as well. Reasonable prices from $8-10 I did two special items for food, the fried crab with cheese inside was really good, unique take on a crab cake. Then I followed that up with the Cod with potatoes and broccolini. I think it was only $20 - It was really nice. I like how they have a Hawaiian theme, but not really. Maybe Hawaiian fusion? Will definitely be back to try other items and may go to 5 star review. Just on the value alone it is a great spot

Hubby and I went there on Tuesday 6/17/2014 for dinner so I can stop at Bed Bath & Beyond on the way home. It's our very first time here. Since I figured I eat out faster than I can yelp, I better put things down here and come back to revise it later. :-) I had the Hawaii Teriyaki Pan Asian Rice Bowl, Hubby got some deep fried plate (have to go back and check the menu later), I had the lemongrass ice tea which please don't try. Food here is definitely fusion. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. Service is awesome Ambience? Love the contemporary atmosphere We got there by 7pm and it was a full house. Don't forget to ask for the complimentary edamame & goldfish cracker. We sat down and didn't even know they give out those until we saw a lady going around randomly place those down to the patrons. Did I say randomly? Yup, she just passed by us without even noticed that we are there. So, we have to ask our waiter for it and he immediately got us one.

Went to this place last night and everything was great. Service was great. Food was ready fast. Except no bread. On a Tuesday night. This is the second time. This happened to some of my friends as well. So mainly because the manager was nice and the service was much better this time, I am leaving a 4 star review.

We have some friends that absolutely love it here, so one evening, we planned a night here. We made a reservation for 5 because TIP: if you do not make a reservation, expect to wait about an hour. The reservations fill up pretty quickly for prime dinner times, so be prepared. The restaurant is a pretty decent sized one, with indoor and outdoor seating. As the night goes on, they close these plastic covers to the outdoor seating so that it isn't quite that chilly. Upon first walking in, I dubbed this place a date night joint as there seemed to be a relatively high amount of dates there. When you first sit down, they give you soybeans and sesame goldfish to snack on. My friend and I ordered a trio of hawaiian poke that was $19, and a Japanese Wasabi bowl with hawaiian poke and crab salad that was $20.50. We had asked for the wasabi bowl to be split, but I warn that no one should ever ask for it split. It comes out as two split bowls, which is nice, but you get visibly less (if you were to combined the two bowls) than if you were to order a standard 1 bowl. I was extremely disappointed in that, especially for something that was so pricey to begin with. Overall, our total came out to be more than we wanted to spend for such medicore food (at least what we got). Personal opinion is that this place is pretty hyped so it's relatively busy and stays busy. Maybe I'll give it a shot again sometime, but my first visit didn't leave a lasting impression. Service is a bit slow also.

My wife and I were in the area and decided to check this place out.. Everything from the service, food, and the ambiance was fantastic. We started off with one of their specials a salmon chowder, which was great. We also got the trio of poke which is nice that they let you try three different ones. The poke was great, I have not had some this good outside of Hawaii. For the meal I had the wasabi ahi sandwich (the tuna was great and the ginger in the sandwich added a lot to it), with the sweet potato fries. For dessert we got fried dulce de leche spring rolls, which was really amazing as well. With all the food we tried there was not a single let down on anything, everything was delicious. They were fairly busy on the night we went in, even still our waiter was really on top of things all night, never had to ask for anything from him because before we could even think of anything he had taken care of it. The prices are not too bad at all either for the quality of food.

Reserved a table for three for myself, my brother and mom. It's her birthday and she loves seafood. I've never been here but thought I'd take them here for the good reviews. The restaurant is beautiful. Gorgeously decorated and very clean. The staff is very friendly and greeted us at the door. The smell when you walk in is to die for! (for all you seafood fanatics).

Food is great...many healthy choices. I particularly love the rice bowls (especially the wasabi version)...but always ask for more veggies than rice...and the salads. Great drinks. Love the water bottles on the table. Wait staff is attentive, and never have felt rushed when with a large group.

This is our date night go to place. Great service, fun environment, and for great food, this is a place to bookmark. For starters we had the white tuna poke. I think that this needed more of an acid and salt for more flavor. After adding some soy, it was great though I do like my food a bit on the spicier side. Otherwise very tasty. Drinks we ordered the lemongrass Mojito (great cocktail) and a light tangerine beer for my partner. Main Course my partner ordered the teriyaki bowl which had so many different flavors: shiitake mushrooms with edamame beans, green salad, teriyaki salmon, grilled pineapples, and underneath was white rice and teriyaki sauce. My new favorite comfort food! I ordered the special: grilled local swordfish which was floating in delicious green curry, eggplant, squash coupled with 2 deep fried coconut rice (looked like hash browns) cakes which have the dish a perfect crunch topped with a light cucumber slaw. Super delicioso:) Dessert, we had coffee (served on a French press) and Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownie. We really enjoyed our night and will be returning again for date night!

Have seen this restaurant for a few years and never try it out and we finally made it for lunch today. We ordered fish and chip and Korean BBQ bowl. They are tasty. This place is really nice set up and well decorated. Thinking about going back to try something else.:D

My husband and I liked this place. We had sushi rolls which were good - not amazing but a solid roll. Their fried oysters were delicious. They had a fish & chips kind of batter on them which was different but not too bad. My husband lives the fact that they serve Maui Brewing Company beer here. They've got great happy hour prices, but it's only in the bar section and that fills up ridiculously fast!

Okay so I'm writting this because we went for sit down and it was really good! However we ordered off Door Dash and it was horrble! The fried mixed catch was just ewww when it got it. I enjoyed the Poke when we did sit down but when we got it from door dash it was all warm and gross. The korean ribs were good to-go and in house~ Moving forward we will go again but only for dine in!

My favorite restaurant in the area. The food tastes fresh, the value is not bad, and the menu is diverse enough where everyone in your party should find something to their liking. Plus free edamame and pretzel goldfish! Get the Japanese wasabi bowl with half brown rice and half greens. It's delicious and I've never seen another restaurant offer anything like it. It feels healthy and clean, the flavors are bold without being greasy, and the ingredients always fresh. I lean towards the seared ahi as my meat of choice but the poke and salmon go great with the bowl as well.

We picked this place at the last minute by searching OpenTable for open reservations Saturday night. I didn't even know Pacific Catch was in the Pruneyard. We made an early reservation (5:45) - but reservations weren't needed at such an early hour - and were seated in the bar area. The ambiance was nice and service was prompt. Pros: Great selection on the menu, without being too much. I hate when a place has a 14-page menu like Cheesecake Factory or the Elephant Bar. We had a hard time deciding what to get, but settled on the three-taco plate (with fish of the day, mahi mahi, and steak), a Thai Curry bowl, and a spicy tuna roll for an appetizer. All were good. The curry bowl was a bit heavy on the rice, but every bite had good flavor. The tacos: my dining companion said that two would've been fine and he could've done without the steak taco. The fish tacos were very good. Cons: None? There were a couple of weird things, like someone else's poke being delivered to us and several minutes passing before anyone figured it out, and the waitress took our beers to the table next to us, but in general, everyone was pleasant, and it was a good experience. The dessert! We had a brownie sundae for dessert and it was fantastic. I could've eaten four of them (but did not). The whole meal, two entrees, appetizer, four beers, and a dessert was less than $80, which was great for a rare date night.

Ok, So we are total fish market people but friends of ours told us about this place so we thought we would give it a shot! They nailed it! We walked in and it was busy, no seats at the bar but they still wanted us to feel comfortable while we waited and brought us to the bar..oh yes!!! What a bar..nice! We were seated within 15 minutes and greeted with smiles and suggestions.. We took their suggestions and went with it! Ahi tuna outstanding, fresh petrale sole fresh and ate every bite! husband had some of their sticky ribs (starter) and fish tacos..they were wonderful :) theeeennnnn ... They suggested this dessert we have never had before called letche roll..a must must have! Omg!!! If you just want to go out for dessert, well you gotta treat yourself. Above it all, this manager named jerry came by a couple times checking on us and asked us if we needed anything else and was just a complete sweet guy. We found out later he was the manager that night..go when he is working! Oh and I can't forget our waiter!!! He was on top of it! Wonderful and had a wonderful smile..just instantly put us in a good mood after a hectic day.. Wait, the gal that served us wine and beer at the bar! I just wanted a good glass of cab and boy was that good! Cheers to her! Good pick! Thank you for giving us a nice evening! Linda

Maybe I'm being picky -- the food was solid but not spectacular. My salmon club sandwich was good but the salmon wasn't seasoned at all -- all the flavor came from the 2 strips of bacon. For a sandwich billed as a salmon club sandwich, it also could've used more salmon. The sandwich was otherwise well assembled (at $15 it should be haha). The fries were slightly undercooked. Wait staff was awesome, though -- the waiter who brought out our food had the kitchen whip up a batch of garlic aioli for us, which apparently isn't something they keep on hand. Check in on Foursquare for a free dessert!

When we arrived at 9pm on Friday, there was still a wait for tables so we chose to sit at the bar. Service: The waiters/waitresses weren't very friendly. They were straight to the point without typical service niceties. They also did that thing where they give you the bill without asking if you want anything else. They seemed pretty hurried overall, and uninterested in connecting with customers. Food: The food was great! We tried the thai coconut shrimp, korean rice bowl, and ecstasy roll. All were delicious and I would definitely recommend them to others. The ecstasy roll was aptly named, consisting almost entirely of fish, and not including rice, meant that it was the kind of sushi roll you dream about. However, a few things to watch out for. They say their rolls are jumbo sized (or something to that effect) but they're pretty small and the korean rice bowl was 80% rice. Ambiance: I don't know if it was just because we were at the bar, but I did not feel comfortable at all. I felt like I was eating in a busy hallway. Also the lighting is a little bright, some dimmers would really add a bit of class. I won't be returning. For $50, I can get a better experience. However, my sense is that Pacific Catch offers some unique flavors so give them a try and decide for yourself whether it's worth the slight letdowns.

Happy hour at Pacific Catch has got me HOOKED, LINE AND SINKER all in one. Came here two weeks ago for my first time, came back the next week for a second. I just can't stop fantasizing about how wrong I've been in life because I mean, REAL CRAB in their huge California sushi rolls. I mean, I can not even begin to explain my excitement to you about my discovery. I stumbled upon Pacific Catch through a couple of instagram friends who came and their pictures looked delicious. Since I'm a sucker for Happy Hour and good food, off I am to Campbell to find this awesome place. Tucked in a plaza on the corner in Pruneyard, I walked in and it was like a Fish version of Chipotle except it was an actual restaurant and it had a bar. Happy hour only from 4-6PM Mon-Fri so a smaller window than most places with HH, but I happy obliged since I needed to try it out. If you're there for HH, just walk yourself to the bar area which includes a bar, but also three booths, two large tables for groups and three smaller private booths for other people. They have lots of local brews and their speciality cocktails that are on the HH menu. The bar and group tables also have hangers right up the table for the ladies and the gents to hang their hand bags or briefcases! How clever and thoughtful is that? The table comes with chopsticks and napkins, the waiter or waitress brings over a blue bottle of water for you to pour and they come with the menu. The specials, the regular menu/the daily catch and the happy hour menu. Also, their choice is bar food is curious, salted pretzel gold fish and out of shell edamane. Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat (4)- Five percent Alch, wasn't too bitter or too sweet, had that nice tang and a swet whiff of the tangerine. Agave Margarita (6)- option of salt or no salt, if you LOVE tequila, they lace the entire drink with tequila, one of these girls will have you rolling in no time, it was a little too sweet for my taste Pacific Steak Taco (3)- the meat was seasoned perfectly, but I wasn't really a fan of their taco. Too much sauce and lettuce not enough meat. Cabo Calamari (5)- The aioli was spicy with a kick went great with the calamari. It wasn't just the tentacles but also the body and they even fried the chilies with it. A little too much breading, but it wasn't mushy. California Roll (5)- MIND BLOWING THE BEST THING ever, to come to a california roll. Real crab salad, avocado in huge portions the least amount was cucumber so you get a amazing deal. There's 8 giant pieces and not enough. I usually order two. Korean Sticky Ribs (7)- Whoa whoa whoa there tastebuds are taken for a wild ride. It's a sweet, and tangy, and a spicy kick of giants ribs with fall off the bone meat and drizzles of sesame seeds. The sauce itself is so saucy and you can dip just about anything in it and it'll turn it into a master piece. White Tuna Poke (7) - Huge chunks, super fresh a little salty for me, comes with crispy wonton chips which is a good balance. Of the three pokes offered for HH, this is the best one. Comparing the regular prices to the happy hour menu, it's about a four dollar difference in price which is a sweet deal. The portions itself is good and I wasn't able to finish everything. Even tasted amazing the next day. The food came out fairly quick but not fast food McDonalds quick. Everything was extremely fresh and I was just drooling all over. I hadn't had a chance to come for the regular menu, but I enough the happy hour so much that I don't want to change a single thing. I will continue to come because it's great good and absolutely wonderful service from everything! Great first impression, impressive second and we're talking about a future together Pacific Catch. I'll catch you next time.

Fancy! Goldfish crackers and edemame snacks? Why not? Goldfish is seafood, right? I liked the free water in the blue bottles. Anything under "poke" is worth trying. All of their fish is super fresh. I had the grilled salmon and it came out perfect. My co-workers all ordered the rice bowls and they did not seem to enjoy it. The bowls were 90% rice and only 5 pieces of meat. Lunch time is very busy so it's hard to get the waiter's attention. You're only allowed to ask your waiter for something and not someone else' waiter which is new to me. It took us a while to get our check. Good thing we weren't in any hurry to get back to work :P

This is the go to spot for the girlfriend when she is craving a healthy salad. They give out large portions for their salads which if you're not really hungry, could possibly split it between two people. We love the appetizers and are big fan of the poke trio. The restaurant is huge and you can always decide if you want to eat inside or outside on the patio. Service is always on point. One time we went there and they forgot about us for awhile, they ended comping us with dessert even though we told them it was no big deal since we come there all the time. One thing about this place is that it seems like every time we come here the special is the same special from the previous visit. I don't know why they just don't end up putting it on the menu if the special doesn't change at all.

They should call this place Suprise Catch because you don't know what the catch of the day is! Yesterday it was cod, which I'm guessing is the catch of the day 100% of the time. Still, this place was a suprise. The rice ball was surprisingly very fresh and tasty. Every single bite had a huge tint of flavor that really surprised my gf and I. Also had the mixed fish and chips package which came with osyters, shrimp, and cod fish. While rather unhealthy, it was pretty good. Also, their spicey fries were excellent. This place really is a nice little surprise for those wandering vagabounds who are on a journey of enlightment. Stop by!

The poke trio and the Carmel dessert. I don't even like Carmel and this is delicious like OMG. The manager Tony is literally one of the best managers I have ever seen, he doesn't have a stuck up attitude, really laid back and super friendly and helps put the wait staff. Highly recommend this place.

For girls night, I wanted to eat somewhere I knew my boyfriend (who is picky and doesn't like seafood, would not eat). Pacific Catch was the perfect place to go! It has been in my bookmarks for a while. I was with my sister and niece and we got here around 6:30 Pm on a Saturday night. It was pretty full and we didn't make a reservation, so we were expecting to wait. Needless to say, they sat us right away, so we were very lucky. Looking over their menu, everything looked great. We ended up getting chicken tenders and fries for my niece, thai coconut shrimp as an appetizer, and my sister and I both ordered the Japanese wasabi bowl with crab (ask for half salad and rice, otherwise they give you lots of rice apparently). They come out first with complementary goldfish pretzel crackers and edamame. I thought it was a cute little thing they do and perfect for the kiddies. My niece ate all the goldfish before I could get to it. Thai coconut shrimp: Comes in a plate of 8 or 10 shrimp with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The shrimp was perfectly breaded and had a nice crunch when biting into it. I enjoyed this dish but it wasn't anything too special. I think it's worth ordering if you like shrimp. Japanese wasabi rice bowl w/ crab: This dish is full of wonderful ingredients. The bowl is layered out, on the bottom is the rice and salad, on top, they have seaweed salad, pickled daikon, spouts, and your choice of protein. ( I got shredded crab - Its real too and not that crappy imitation stuff) Everything in the bowl was great and I highly enjoyed the mixture of of the flavors. Service here is amazing. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful when we asked her what my niece could eat b/c she was allergic to shellfish. She noted that all the dishes were cooked on the same grill and fryer and suggested somethings like the chicken tenders and rice bowl were possibly ok to eat. She was very patient with us while we were making our decision. Also, we ordered an apple juice for my niece but she didn't like it and we told the waitress this and she apologized and took it off our bill. I will definitely be coming back to try their other bowls and dishes. I'm super excited that a pacific catch is opening up in dt san mateo b/c it's closer to me!

I think this place is a bit hit and miss. My husband thought his mahi mahi was a 4 star. My in laws enjoyed their fish and chips too, which is what I will try next time. My teriyaki chicken bowl was not great. The chicken was well prepared and delicious but that is where the sauce ended. My rice was dry and plain and all veggies were dry and plain too. Great if you are watching what you eat to not have sauce but I actually wanted the flavor on my meal, if not I would have order ed it plain. The lemonade I ordered was oddly club soda based. I wasn't expecting that. I am not excited about coming back but I do know now what not to get.

While searching restaurants to dine at with some girlfriends, I decided to look at what restaurants take the Passport unlimited card. I had been wanting to try Pacific Catch because it was close by and prices are very fair, but was a bit hesitant from the so-so reviews lately. However, we decided to try anyways, and between the 5 of us and 2 passport cards, it wouldn't be too big of a loss if we didn't enjoy the food. Located at the end of the Pruneyard in between the Hilton and Ross, the parking lot was packed on a Saturday evening. After I was able to squeeze into the very tight parking, I saw that Pacific Catch was already crowded with lots of people waiting for a table. They do take Open Table reservations, but none were available when I had tried a few hours before. Luckily, they were able to take it over the phone. The hostesses were prompt when I checked in, but then they got so busy you have to stand around and wait for awhile. I really liked the feel of the restaurant, very modern and clean, but do get the reader's majority vote that the pillars in the middle of random tables is odd. Was seated near the outdoor seating, and the outdoor seating looked like a good place to dine as well! Nibbling on the edamame and pretzel goldfish was a nice touch as well as the blue bottles of water that is poured throughout your meal. Sparkling water is free, which is rare, as well as refills on all non-alcoholic drinks. The majority of the table decided on poke. Two of them had the 3 poke sampler, 2 had the hawaiian poke bowl, and I went for the 3 taco sampler (fried fish, mahi mahi, and steak) with spicy fries. Our waiter was really attentive in the beginning, but then the service started to fall. Cup for sparkling water took awhile. Extra wine glass took awhile. Ice for my water took awhile (with a reminder). But when the food came out, all else went out the window. Tons of food and everyone's looked great! Tried a piece of the poke, very fresh and flavorful. My tacos were outstanding, and even though I don't care for corn tortillas, everything went so well together, the sauces, cabbage, etc. Plenty of meat in these tacos, and the spicy fries were delicious. Overall, we had a great meal and already planning on going back next week. Just not sure if I should get the tacos or poke bowl next time!

Not for me. The best thing about this place is the ambiance. The food was OK but not for the price they charge for lunch. Service was slow, and the server wearing jeans and a utility belt was not really showing signs of cleanliness. This restaurant should focus on serving good seafood dishes, but it tries to be an Asian place.

Nancy W.
Good, not great. Front of house manager should be fired. No one seems to be serting standards for servers. Server had on skinny jeans, whote socks, converse, & white tank top. Servers should look professional, and wear black dress shirts, black shoes, black socks, blk. Dress pants, and only black tank top which shouldn't be seen. Employee lounge is next to bathrooms. Door opens and about 6 employees are hanging out, noisy, casual, and ignoring that customers can see and hear them acting like Bros. Water is served in blue bottles with no ice. Problem, it is not cold!!! Food was ok, but the overall shoddy, unprofessional staff are not.

Used door dash and ordered the Rising Sun roll, firecracker salmon roll, and starter salad. They were different...flavor wise I guess. I wasn't very fond of the sprouts in the roll but overall they were good! The starter salad dressing was really good also.

Love the great service and consistent food. We're suckers for the poke bowl and the Thai curry bowl. But we've tried a bunch of things and everything is yummy. It's a great family restaurant that's got a nicer ambience for special occasions, but can accommodate young kids too.

If you're off from work early...this place is a cool spot for really awesome happy hour yummzzz..... you can get fries, a piece of taco for $3.... Poke salads for $7; ceviche and more for $5.... It's awesome.... My skinny friend and i got... *Sweet Potato Fries - I love how it's cut thinly and it's crisp. Perfectly cooked and evenly seasoned. *Fish taco - I love how the mahi-mahi is not deep fried coated in batter. It's grilled or pan fried..it came with a slaw and it was just tasty... Happy Hour portion is one taco. *Steak taco - No, the steak isn't shredded..they weren't chunks either.. they were long, tasty pieces of meat with fried onions... it's yummy... *Baja Shrimp Ceviche - OOOOOOOHHHHH.. My ultimate faveorite of all we ordered... It was so refreshing...shrimps were fresh. Shrimp size = HUGE.. the sour with the guacamole.. yummmmyyyy..... *Fried Oysters - I thought they had fresh raw ones.. but they didn't.. we settled for this..it was EH. i hate deep fried, batter coated things... so i wasn't a fan of this. *Ahi Poke salad - OMG.. I love how fresh the sashimi is... I ordered this in the original mix; and found it tad too salty for my taste.. But my girlfriend who lives through salt; liked it... we had some cocktails too... It's pretty good. they're not cheap on their alcohol pouring. I would definitely go back. SERVICE: Excellent. Fast. PRICE: Decent AMBIANCE: Hip, Relaxed...Chill... The bar side of the restaurant is on a first come first served basis.. but there were booths that you can reserve. Wish they had bigger TVs... and more TVs.. PARKING: ugh. it could be tough parking in the plaza...

Ever since I had Poke in Hawaii a few years ago, poke has become one of my favorite dishes. Pacific Catch makes the poke right! The Grilled Mahi Mahi is cooked just right, yum! I also enjoyed the Korean sticky ribs. Make a reservation otherwise be prepared to wait! The first time I came here I just showed up, and the line was crazy. I ended up getting a seat at the bar which is not bad. I've been there a couple more times and I always make a reservation now.

Brought my Grandpa here after we drove by another place that was too packed. This turned out to be a great choice! The staff was very friendly, and Salvador was a great waiter.The patio was very pleasant to dine on as well. We both had salads that were wonderful; he got a Calif Roll Salad and I got the Ahi Tuna Salad. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys sea food.

Waitress was extremely friendly and funny. Food was delicious, my husband & I shared the crab melt sandwich with sweet potato fries, both were delicious! One friend ordered the mahi mahi taco and loved it, as well as our other friend ordered the teriyaki bowl with flank steak and said it was fabulous. I had the mochi ball fondue for dessert which was also delicious!!! Will go again next time we are in town...

It pains me to have to give this (otherwise nice) restaurant one star...but my last experience there was A.W.F.U.L. I was dining alone for lunch after shopping at the nearby Marshall's store. I was not feeling particularly social, so I opted to sit outside on the patio area where is it calm and quiet. After I placed my food order a couple with a dog (pitbull) walked up and started eyeing my table due to it's proximity to the exit and that it was a four top. I was minding my own business when the woman asked if I would mind moving so they could sit at the table that the hostess sat me at. What could I say? I felt rather intimidated so I begrudgingly moved. Once their party was seated, the fiasco began. First off, they were loud and obnoxious, secondly the manager of the restaurant offered the dog a huge bowl of water which it immediately tipped over and ran all over my feet under the tiny table that I was scrunched into. Thirdly, the dog unleashed itself and took off down the length of the outdoor patio (on three occasions) barking loudly and bothering all of the other patrons, including me! Once my food arrived, the waitress asked if everything was ok, I said "To be honest with you, no...everything is far from fine....my feet are wet with dog water, the people who ousted me from my table are rude and loud, the damn dog has been running around and is barking" She said, "Oh, I am sorry, I was surprised that they asked you to move, how rude of them." and that was it. I asked to speak to the manager and he pretty much just told me tough-luck, and that dogs are allowed on the patio. So, my peaceful lunch was ruined and I was made to feel like I was the bad guy for speaking up. It might just be me but I really feel that dogs (and pets of any other type) (short of service animals)) should not be allowed in eating establishments, stores, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc.

We came in for a casual birthday lunch with a party of five. The wait staff were extremely friendly and helpful with tips and recommendations. The serving size for the bowls and salads were large and very tasty. I ordered the grilled salmon wasabi bowl with half brown rice and half veggies. The wasabi dressing was a bit strong, but overall very flavorful. The birthday dessert option was also very generous: the table was given a full-sized dulce de leche spring roll with vanilla bean ice cream (which was huge compared to the customary scoop of ice cream most places serve).

The sweet potato fries and edamame were pretty good. The fries didn't have much flavor but the dressings made it much better. My boyfriend's steak teriyaki rice bowl was mediocre at best. There were only 4 small pieces of steak, the shaved coconut was pointless, and the sauce was overwhelming. I got the mahi mahi tacos which were phenomenal. I recommend that! For desert, we got the mochi ball fondue that was AMAZING!!!!

I have been here a couple of times and every time it does not disappoint. I usually come here for lunch which is perfect because it isn't extremely crowded like it is at dinnertime. When my friend and I first came in we were immediately greeted and taken to our table. We were seated on the covered patio area which was surprisingly perfect. Usually I hate sitting out on the patio because it is either really cold or too hot/sunny and there are random people walking by you, but since it was covered it was the perfect temperature and there was no one walking by us. We were also the only people seated outside so it was nice and quiet for me and my friend to chat and catch up. Even though we were the only ones outside on the patio area, our server was extremely attentive and helpful. She never forgot about us, even though I could tell she was busy and her section was out of view from our table. I usually order the Pan-Asian rice bowls when I come here. They are a little on the pricey side at $15 per rice bowl, but they are huge and delicious. I typically eat a lot and I cant finish this rice bowl. I usually eat about 1/3 of it and then save the rest for dinner. All of the rice bowls are pretty good, but my favorite is the Thai Curry bowl. It has sauteed eggplant, red bell peppers, green beans, cucumber, onions, toasted coconut, crispy shallots & green curry sauce and you have a choice of Shrimp Satay, Grilled Mahi Mahi, Grilled Chicken Breast, or Grilled Salmon (add $1). I usually get it with the Grilled Mahi Mahi. You can also substitute it with tofu if you are a vegetarian. You also have the option to get it with white rice, brown rice, mixed greens, or half rice and half mixed greens. I usually get the brown rice and mixed greens. Also this bowl is gluten-free so this was a perfect dish for me. This place is the best! It has great service, delicious food, and they even give you pretzel goldfish and edamame to nibble on while you wait for your food.

Happy as a clam! Came here for My birthday With group of friends. Great service and deliciously fresh seafood! I ordered the Hawaiian poke bowl with half brown rice and veggies. Also, shared a dulce de lechwe and mochi fondue with friends! Was delicious! Will be back to try other items on the menu!

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS great customer service here from the hostess to the waitress/waiter. I have never had a bad experience time after time I come here to eat. I love there entire menu and the rice bowls are always my favorite thing to order. Their "poke" is also really good, I can't remember if it's always on the menu but my boyfriend was the one that got me to try it and I ended up loving it! Everything is always fresh, and clean. Even when it's busy the wait isn't ever too bad and it's totally worth it. The price range isn't bad either, it's not too expensive but it's not under priced either. If your looking for a new place to try come here! I have also been to other pacific catch locations and they are all really good & all the same! Hands down probably my favorite place.

Pacific Catch is a solid spot for lunch - fast, healthy food with lots of variety. On a Friday afternoon, the restaurant was about 40% full so it was easy to get a seat. I had the Japanese Wasabi rice bowl with salmon - really large servings (though mostly a lot of rice). Salmon was cooked medium and a decent-sized portion. Lunch was on the pricier side (~$14) but a solid option.

Really great service. I didn't feel rushed or pressured into choosing what I wanted to order asap. If you want a nice place to have lunch with good company, come here. My friends and I went to continue celebrating my birthday and we chose this place because we heard many great reviews about it. The interior is awesome as well. The blue glass bottles they use to serve water is also used as lighting fixtures. I don't remember our servers name, but she was really nice and had a good personality. She helped me choose which poki was the most popular - original, but gave us her personal opinion on the other poki. She had great interaction with us and fantastic customer service. She knows how to be professional and personable at the same time, which makes the experience at this restaurant 5 stars. So we ordered the triple poki sample with the California, jalapeño, and original. I enjoyed original the best. And then I ordered the wasabi bowl with original poki. So goo! Large portions so either come hungry or share. Our wonderful waitress also let me choose an item from the dessert menu since it was my birthday. I chose the Carmel spring roll with vanilla ice cream. DELICIOUS. Overall each of my friends and I spent about $20. It was worth it and I would come again. Oh and I also loved that the guy who brought us our food was wearing a Giants jersey. GO GIANTS!

My 5th time coming here since the last one which was more than a year ago and I must say this place never let me down. My aunt who was with me and first time in this place loved everything we ordered: the strawberry lemonade (kind of a virgin mojito), trio hawaiian poke(on point! The seaweed salad and other else that went with it were delicious!), and korean rice bowl with marinated skirt steak(very tasteful. That should be how every steak should taste. Looooove looved every piece) :) The server- Very friendly and catering! ;) Vietnamese young man(it is a shame that I forgot his name) kudos to you! :) Overall experience-satisfied and happy! Will definitely come back! Just a heads up. This place gets packed especially during dinner. It was friday night when we came and the waiting time was about an hour so we only got to sit at the bar which was a nice area so I really do not mind, with high tables and chairs and three booths that separated the bar from the dining area. :) This place is always worth the wait!:) That's all I got to say! :)

I really like the ambiance and layout of the restaurant, it's so sleek and modern. Nice place for a date. The first time I came I ordered the ceviche and California salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. The ceviche had an interesting texture, but the chips that it came with were yummy. I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon sandwich! Sandwich was $12 and ceviche was on the happy hour menu. The second time I came I ordered the Korean short rib bowl and it was really good too. The bowl was $15 I believe. This place is pretty pricey. Service is normal.

i came here several months ago with my husband and extended family members. since we were a part of 5, we were given a big comfortable booth outside, which was both spacious and comfortable. the weather was perfect that day, sunny with temps in the 70s. since i'd never dined here before (despite many, many shoppping trips at the pruneyard), i had no idea what to order. one of my relatives said the poke was great as a started, and anything with fish would be a good main dish. we ordered the pacific catch poke trio to share (mix and match 3 types of poke), and chose the lomi lomi, california style, and ahi macadamia nut options. all 3 were great, but my favourite was the ahi macadamia nut since the nuts were crushed on top and blended with sweet onions and a bit of sauce to give the poke a sweet and savory taste. this also came with a small side of seaweed salad, sliced cucumber, radish and carrot salad, and fried wonton crisps. for my main, i selected the hawaiian teriyaki pan-asian rice bowl. this was a large bowl of brown rice, topped with grilled mahi mahi, shiitake mushrooms, grilled pineapple, glazed carrots, edamame, crispy sweet onions, sesame seeds & teriyaki sauce on the side. in addition to being a fairly healthy entree, this dish was also very colourful and pretty which made me even more excited to eat it! the veggies were served either raw or slightly grilled which were great. the grilled pineapple was an interesting touch, as i normally eat this raw, and freshly cut, but the grilled taste gave it a nice kick. the crispy sweet onions were really yummy, but i restricted myself to just half of this since i knew these were deep fried. the fish itself was pretty good, lightly grilled, and seasoned with onions and sesame seeds; i just wish they didn't put so much salt on top (next time, i will request no salt!) i had a little bit of the teriyaki sauce to taste, but i'm glad that i didn't pour it all on my food as it was quite sweet and salty! service was very good, as our waitress was attentive and fulfilled all of our needs...a party of 5 with varying tastebuds and miscellaneous demands can be tough to serve, and i appreciate the patience that our waitress showed us. overall, a very good first dining experience here. and now that they have sister locations in mountain view and san mateo, which are both closer to me, i look forward to having a meal at both of these locations soon!

I went during Crab Fest, which celebrated the Local Dungeness Crab Season. I tried the crab melt. I thought it was pretty decent as they really do put a lot of crab in there. The only problem is that the crab did not have any of the fresh crab taste so I don't know if it's just canned crab (although that would not be much of a celebration). We also tried the glazed crab and shrimp dumplings and it was alright. The crab meat was again visible in the filling but it did not have the fresh crab taste that would have added to the flavor. I don't know if the fact that it was steamed in Sapporo beer gave it anything. I did really enjoy the side of edamame that they gave you for free. I also like how this place has chopsticks to make it seem more Asian, even though this is not a traditional Asian place. The service was decent. I ordered hot tea here which they had a decent selection of teas. For the price, the food was just okay. I really wish there was something more to the place that would be worth writing home about. But I suppose being consistent and having no disastrous dishes can be a strength also.

I reserved a party of about 8 with some co-workers directly after work on an early Friday night. We were seated promptly and I specifically requested a table in the patio area. I really like that area better than inside especially when the weather is great since it feels more open and you get natural sunlight. We got the table and from there, the service at least first, was completely non existent. It was only 5 pm and the place was empty, yet they completely ignored us for quite some time. I finally had to get up and look for someone. I'm not sure how a restaurant/waiter/server, whoever, could simply forget about a party of 8 in the back. Anyways, I believe the owner saw me looking around and I asked, "is someone going to attend to us?" He immediately took our orders. He was pretty chill and nice about it. From there, our designated server took our orders. She was pleasant but once again, the service was extremely slow. I'm not sure it's her fault completely b/c I had heard from one of my coworkers who was at the bar earlier heard a few of the arguing in the back. Regardless, as a server, you should have a feel as to how long an order is taking and to also let us customers know if there's a delay. No explanation from anyone. On top of it, my other coworker ordered an Arnold Palmer with vodka and they forgot the vodka. We ordered some other appetizers which were decent, if there's any saving grace. The owner did comp us the coconut appetizer, which was nice of him. But if he reads this, he really needs to re-evaluate some of his staff. Maybe servers don't care about service since they receive automatic gratuity? Not saying it was intentional but I will not be coming back, at least not with a big party.

THE BEST CEVICHE IN SAN JOSE! Try the trio and see which one you like the most! I like 'em all. The Ahi Poke Wasabi Rice Bowl is a must order! Order it with half salad/half rice! It's absolutely scrumptious. The chunks of Ahi Poke are yummy with the pickles and wasabi mayo. Also, their rice is really good for being plain rice. The restaurant is really modern and beautifully decorated. It's the perfect place for a date or an intimate family dinner.

Walked in around 6:30pm on Friday and got seated right away. Great start! Nice family atmosphere and friendly service throughout. Coconut and Ginger Tom Kha - I would have liked it more if it was less salty. Pacific Ceviche Trio - not as enjoyable as I hoped. I was really craving ceviche and this order got my hopes up. Poke was too heavy in soy. I didn't care for the taste of the Peruvian and it was quite watery but the purple chips were great. Baja was the most appealing to me. So refreshing and the shrimps were big. Teriyaki chicken bowl - I was impressed by how much food was in that seemingly small bowl. This was a really nicely done dish. Chicken was perfectly cooked along with the brown rice, pineapple and the sauce was just the right amount. Mochi fondue was a perfect finish. The melted Ghirardelli was delish!

Great food. Loved the poke, the wasabi bowl with ahi, and the ice cream... I think it's called moche. We also had a couple rolls that were delicious - tuna with avocado, and a spicy tuna roll. Our server was awesome, and the atmosphere in general was great.

I've been averaging a meal a week at Pacific Catch and it's become a NECESSARY staple in my diet. My go-to order? (really, the only thing I've ever ordered there...) The JAPANESE WASABI BOWL with Hawaiian poke and seared ahi, half brown rice, half greens. Is it bad that I recite the same order like a prayer from memory with relished glee? Well, that yummy rice bowl is just THAT great (and it's about time that I glorify Pacific Catch with a review!). I don't know if it's the harmonious seasoning of the poke, the perfect sear on the ahi, or the fragrant punch of the wasabi sauce, but I can't ever order anything else off the menu because the Japanese bowl is so darn addicting (and I don't use that word lightly)! My derivative of the bowl comes with Hawaiian poke, seared ahi, julienned cucumbers and carrots, pickled ginger, slices of avocado, wakame, and dried seaweed on a bed of warm brown rice and your typical selection of salad greens. The portions are generous and the proportions, well-balanced. What makes this bowl a home run for me is the happy marriage between all the ingredients above with the umami-tastic wasabi flavor. On a side note, I've also had the poke trio as an appetizer, which was also heavenly seasoned, but I've learned my lesson that one bowl is more than enough for a single sitting, unless you're willing to unbuckle those belts or wear elastic yoga pants. The food at Pacific Catch definitely outshines its service, not that service is ordinarily terrible, but it's usually nothing noteworthy, and at times, it has been borderline rude and inattentive. There's also issues with their OpenTable reservation system. I've been made to wait on several occasions way past my reservation time for a table. On one unfortunate night, my party and I were forced to wait up to 45 minutes past the time I had reserved on OpenTable before being seated. I understand that it was busy and that it was the weekend dinner rush, but what's the point of making a reservation if you end up having wait anyway? The cherry on top was our rude waiter who had horrible customer service skills. One of my friends had also asked him whether her bowl had green onions in it and he had replied no, but when it came out, my poor friend had to meticulously pick out all the green onions. Not to sound picky or privileged, but if she had been allergic to them, this would have become a serious issue. I hate to vent about one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay, but sometimes when you love something, you gotta be able to criticize it so gets better, tough love, right? That being said, kudos to our favorite blonde-haired hostess who regularly hosts Friday nights and always greets us with a warm and pleasant smile! Her amazing attitude and the food will keep us returning week after week :)

Great ambiance, friendly service and good food! For appetizers we had the lomi lomi and spicy tuna roll. The lomi lomi was great. Spicy tuna roll just ok. For dinner I had the Hawaiian poke bowl which was really good. A few of us shared a pitcher of blood orange margaritas from their special menu. The drinks were delish!

Three couples went there for the first time last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. We all were pleasantly surprised. I had the poke trio (California roll, Serrano, and natural) which were awesome. It came with amazing crisp wontons. It was filling & I will have it for lunch too. My husband loved his shrimp tacos & grilled artichoke, & our friends were well pleased with their salmon salad, opah, oni, & salad meals. Service is very slow, but worth waiting for. Don't be in a hurry, just relax & enjoy.

If I had come here before going to the location in SF, I would probably enjoy my stay here better. The service was less than decent, and I felt that my table was being overlooked, even though we were seated right next to the POS system that all the servers congregate at. The Poke bowl was good, a bit less tasty than that of the SF location, but the price seemed hiked up to me. The rest of the menu is a definite splurge and a deviation from their original prices, for sure.

This is a really good restaurant with a nice ambience. The food is very good and consistent, always very fresh tasting. Highly recommend giving this place a try. The poke trio makes a great appetizer to share between 2 or 4. Tip: If you go for one of the popular rice bowls, consider requesting half rice, half salad - they're big and can be a bit much rice, I find the half half to be just perfect and I have a healthy appetite :)

Pacific Catch is the perfect example of what a modern sit-down restaurant should be. The staff is always friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and happy. I love the ambiance-- casual, "tropical style" with hints of classiness. As for the food, you simply can't go wrong! Everything is very delicious. Some of my favorites include the Salmon Salad (unique salmon skin croutons are tasty!), the BBQ Salmon Sandwich, their Crabfest dishes (available seasonally), and the Sunset Rolls (these are outrageously good!). I'm always willing to battle the crazy crowds and parking for some tasty food at Pacific Catch!

Eh. It came highly recommended by a friend and it had good yelp reviews. Average food, average service. No one told me about the specials. I had the seafood mixed platter with sweet potatoes fries. The fries were good but the coconut shrimp was the best part. I wouldn't go out of your way to come here.

Very nice restaurant. I had the salmon salad which was very good. Not a fan of the crispy salmon skin - I think the chunks were too big. Sprinkled as bread crumbs I think it would have been much nicer. Setting was very pleasant.

Went here for lunch with my mom and sister for my birthday and was very impressed! Saturday parking at the Pruneridge was a night mare as usual, but this little gem made it well worth it. (I'm resisting the urge to make a great "catch" pun about the place...) They have three ice teas to choose from, and we tried the house black tea with tropical fruit flavor. It was delicious, even without sweetener. I also love that they have both sparkling and still water which they give to you in a beautiful blue wine bottle so you can refill it yourself. We started off food with the soup of the day ($7), a coconut soup, similar to what you can get from Thai restaurants, but not spicy. My mom likes it spicy so they brought out sriracha sauce for her. Soup was excellent! Next we had the poki trio sampler ($19). We had the white tuna, California, and original. My sister felt the white tuna was more refreshing since it was white tuna with lemon, green onion, and red onion. I liked the California with avocado, and my mom enjoyed the original with soy and green onion. The poki was served with fried wonton chips, seaweed salad, and a cucumber carrot slaw side. They brought out gluten free chips for my mom who has a gluten allergy as well. Sampler was delicious! I had a special of the day ($16) and can't for the life of me remember what kind of fish it was. However, it was served grilled with a light curry coconut sauce and had a breaded with coconut and fried up rice cake. It was absolutely delicious, but I was too full to eat it all. My mom had a gluten free shrimp ceviche ($9) and it was delicious. Not too tart. She was smart in ordering small since our appetizers were really filling. My sister ordered the Vietnamese Steak sandwich ($12.50) with a side salad, which was a dressed up fancy version of a Vietnamese sandwich like what you might get from Lee's Sandwiches. I had a bite and it was very tasty. We rounded out the meal with the macadamia nut brownie sundae ($8) which was huge and chocolatey with yummy fudge sauce and delicious vanilla ice cream. My sister and I couldn't even finish this delicious treat. Bonus, they put a candle on it for me since it was a birthday lunch. And when we walked out a man who was not our server (I'm guessing manager?) wished me a happy birthday and thanked us for coming in. Service was friendly and generally quick (a few times we couldn't find someone when we wanted to get a dessert menu and then our bill). Ambiance is really neat. They have blue wine bottles that have the bottoms cut out hanging with lights in them in strings across the ceiling, and other small details that make the decor unique and inviting. Overall, I think this place is a winner. The quality and freshness of the food and service is phenomenal for the price point. The flavors are rich and full, but definitely "white washed" to appeal to more palates. In reading some reviews, people seemed to dislike this fact, but I think it just makes the place more appealing to more people. I will definitely be back and will definitely bring friends! It's hard to find great food at fair prices in the bay area sometimes. Pacific Catch is a great find!

This was me & baby girl's first time here & we ordered to-go. Decor & atmosphere was nice. We were immediately greeted by a lady in the front. She was very friendly. When ordering I ordered california rolls (which came with 8 pieces, pretty yummy) & I said at least twice that I would like to order kids meal of the teriyaki bowl of salmon & I wanted steak so she said I can do that too, but didn't tell me there would be additional charge of $3 for the steak. The salmon was pretty dry, but the steak was yummy). Then after I noticed after paying that she overcharged me...she charged me for a regular teriyaki salmon & steak & not a kids meal as I asked for. Idk how, but with her & the manager it took over 10 mins of figuring out how to pay me back the difference & even my food arrived & they were still trying to figure it out. Regardless with the mistake, I loved what I ordered so I would give it another chance. 06/22/2014

Came here on a Saturday night. Man was it busy. Sat at the bar cause we didn't feel like waiting 1.5 hrs. There's my tip for ya ;) We ordered poke (original), calamari, Korean short ribs, two shrimp taco plate and a small bowl of rice. Oh and 2 Holly Berry mojitos. Bill was about $85... did I think was worth it..nahhh. The poke was the best thing on the table. Seasoned well, good amount of tuna, yummy won ton strips. Will come back to try other styles. Korean short ribs were tasty, plated well and you did get about six. The two tacos were ahright. Each taco came with 3 shrimp topped cabbage, guac and cream sauce. On the side was a little 2-3 tablesppon bowl of black beans. My son wished there were more shrimp. He's 9 :). Drinks were good, will definitely check out happy hour which is 4-6 Mon - Thurs. As for the calamari, send it back to the sea! It was a pretty sad plate compared to the rest of the food. When you have to fry lemons and red chili peppers to disguise the calamari you know you are in trouble. You are a seafood joint.. your calamari better have it's game on! Service was not bad, just thought it could be a little better. The layout is fine and the blue bottles make a nice touch.

Came in here on a tuesday for Happy Hour. All their wine bottles are half price on this day during Happy Hour. Great selection of wines. We ordered the Calamari and an Ecstasy Roll. Both tasted fresh and excellent. Calamari was served hot. Great, prompt service from Maria our waitress. Very casual vibe and value for a happy hour. Not super noisy ( no blaring sports on TV) except for a few obnoxious kids. Will come back to try their mixed drinks next time and sample more of their happy hour appetizers. Always looking for the ultimate happy hour experience.

Awesome rice bowls and sweet potato fries! I've come here 3 times - twice for lunch and once for happy hour. You definitely can't go wrong with one of their signature asian fusion rice bowls. The bowls are huge and $15 each. My favorite is the Japanese Wasabi rice bowl with seared ahi tuna (I might try poke next time). It tasted basically like a decomposed sushi roll - there is nori, veggies, fish, and sushi ginger in the bowl. I always get the bowl with brown rice, which is delicious and healthy. The rice itself is mixed in a sauce that reminds me of mixing rice in wasabi + soy sauce when you eat sushi, again reminding me of a decomposed sushi roll. The only appetizer here that is worth the $ (because most are pretty pricey) are the sweet potato fries. You will get a huge platter for $6 and it is more than enough to feed a whole table. The fries are some of the best I've ever tasted! The calamari is also pretty good because they fry some thin slices of lemon with the squid and octopus, which is interesting, but the plate is pretty pricey from what I remember. I do not recommend getting the coconut shrimp, because it came out to be about $1 per small piece of shrimp...not good for groups larger than 2-3. The reason I am giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars is because, as others have mentioned, the service could be improved and some of the prices are a tiny bit on the expensive side for the food you are getting (for example, sure my rice bowls are delicious and good, but it is $15 and most of it is still rice...). The service is fairly attentive but none seem to have personality or the feeling that you are super welcome - more like they are there to take your order and leave if you don't have any more questions.

We have been back several times. Whenever we go to the Mountain Winery we stop here for dinner on the way. Atmosphere is fun and the food is great. I have had the fish taco's, and a few of their bowls. My favorite are the sushi rolls which we always get for appetizers. Finally we always end the meal with a mocha tray that comes with 3 mocha balls filled with ice cream and a great hot fudge sauce to dip them in. Great to split with a date. We will be back.

Being a fan of seafood, I knew I had to try this place out since I heard great things about the Pacific Catch in SF. For the appetizer I ordered the Poke trio, and chose the original poke, Baja shrimp ceviche, and the Lomi Lomi. It came with seaweed salad and wonton strips. Overall the poke was a little salty for me, so the seaweed salad was good for balancing that out. For main dishes, we got the crab melt, Thai curry mahi mahi bowl, and another crab dish. All super delicious! The Thai Curry bowl and the shrimp ceviche were among my favorites for what we ordered :) I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes!

I enjoyed the tacos here! I was very full and content after my 3 taco platter. I had the Traditional Baja Shrimp, Mahi Mahi, and Pacific Steak which were all good. Their sweet potato fries that came with the tacos were nice and crispy. I thought it was cute that they served Edamame and little gold fish pretzels as complimentary appetizers. We had excellent customer service. I enjoyed looking at the decor, the place had a zen feel to it. I loved that our water was served in bottles that matched the decor. Had a pleasant time dining here for my friend's birthday.

I work in the pruneyard so naturally I've been here for lunch, on more than one occasion. The one really cool thing about this place, is they use local foods and carry local products - I know this because a friend of mine worked there. They don't seem to advertise it all that much. Anyway when I come in its usually I for the tacos. They have really good tacos. Also they have a rotating menu with seasonal fish. They had a really awesome crab soup when it was in season. One thing, if you're looking for clam chowder, it's not a staple on their menu. They do have it once in a while, and it is good I guess (grew up on the coast so I am a little picky).

Flavorful, fresh dishes! Both the Salmon Poke and Original Poke were nice starters. The seasonal Spicy Crab Chowder was very nice, as well. Plentiful portions of both salads and rice bowls. The option of brown rice is a welcome touch, as well. The Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls were delicious but difficult to eat. One had to use a knife to break it I to bite-sized pieces. Service was pleasant, but a tad rushed for my liking. And, there were no refills of our "water bottle." Hence, the loss of one star. But, the food will bring me back.

I like the atmosphere of this place. Not too shabby or too fancy. Just right. I have dined here multiple times and order the korean bbq bowl. Comes with lot of rice and salad . For the amount u get I think the price is pretty fair. the rolls are ok. Nothing fancy or memorable. Service can be a little slow on busy days.

I enjoyed my dinner last night! I ordered the ahi steak wasabi salad that literally tasted like sushi and sashimi. The dressing was probably the star of the show of my dish. It had a spicy bite to it which came from the wasabi. The ahi was grilled nice and had the smoky taste which was fantastic. My gf ordered the ceviche which was super citrusy but tasted great! The shrimp were huge and meaty. Light dinner for $25 plus tip! I also enjoyed the complimentary carbonated water and regular water in blue wine bottles along with a small plate of edamame and goldfish pretzels lol

I wish this experience was a little better for my boyfriend's birthday. We were able to make last minute reservations and were sat immediately, but service was average. The server completely forgot about dessert.

We reserved the patio area for a late afternoon baby shower. The space was great and the service was outstanding. As our guest began to arrive, our server came immediately to take their drink order. We pre-ordered our menu selections and the food timing was perfect-appetitizers-calamari, sticky ribs and coconut shrimps, a few baby games and then tacos, salad, sweet potato and regular fries. We would hold another event here again!! Thank you Pacific Catch and our fantastic server!

Bottom line at the top: very disappointed in the food here, but service was very nice. -- They start you off on a very high note with a small portion of deshelled edamame and pretzel goldfish. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. We were asked if we wanted flat or sparkling water (both complimentary), and we went with flat. There were small white particles floating in the water? Not a good sign at all.. We decided to have the shiso fine roll as an appetizer and this was the best thing we had, but it wasn't amazing. Also ordered two mahi mahi tacos and one fried shrimp. Skip the mahi mahi tacos and go with the shrimp. The sweet potato fries were okay but got cold very fast. the fish pieces from the fish and chips were way too thick, but the spicy fries that came with them were good. two of us never like coleslaw and the one coleslaw fan was not a fan of this one. The highly acclaimed wasabi rice bowl with the tuna poke was pretty bad. The poke was not fresh and the soy sauce on top was dreadful. Luckily it was ordered with double protein and the crab salad was decent. I would definitely NOT this again, but if you are still going to order the rice bowl anyways do yourself a favor and get the crab salad. Needless to say we didn't get dessert and hightailed it out of there, vowing never to return again. Yelpers you really let us down on this one. EDIT: The marketing and events manager messaged me within minutes of posting this review and told me she would forward my thoughts to the GM and chef and apologized for the bad experience. Again, service is very good (both at the restaurant and in terms of managing their online presence), but unfortunately I can't say the same about the food.

i came here because of the great yelp reviews but in my honest opinion nothing i had really stood out to me as good as a matter of fact i didnt like it very much. The flavor was intense but a little to intense for me and those who joined me my thai tea was not so good ethier the hostess was sweet and my waiter was nice and helpful but the food here was not what i had expected. Maybe ill have to give it another try

We LOVE Pacific Catch. It's right down the street from our house, so we walk there for dinner usually about once a week. My fiance and I usually order one of two things, either the BBQ Salmon sandwich or the tacos. The BBQ Salmon sandwich is so good, we almost always order that. I love the sweet potato fries that are an option with the sandwich (I also like that you don't have to pay more for that option). The tacos are also really good, I love the mahi mahi and the baja tacos, while my fiance really likes the steak tacos. We have also been with company who have tried many different menu items, all with great reviews. We have yet to hear a complaint about the food. We also had a crab corn chowder once that was unbelievable. Overall, I think the service is great, the food is great, and it also has a great atmosphere. Good for dates, dinners out with family, etc.

The crab was great!!! The restaurant is nice as the food. I came just for the crab and lucky me it was one of the last 3 :)

The portions are ridiculous. I do like getting a bowl and getting half salad half rice because it makes me feel a whole lot better about myself. So far my favorite has been the thai curry bowl. I've also had the poke bowls with ahi tuna, but I just think I must not be a poke lover. My boyfriends family likes to come here for special occasions because its easy to find something for everyone without having to go to Elephant Bar or Cheesecake factory.

I thought the ambiance was really fresh and hip. I got the mix and match Island tacos and got one grilled steak & a Mahi Mahi with sweet potato fries. Overall I thought my meal was okay. My spouse got a rice bowl and thought it was amazing, but I just wasn't impressed with this place. Service was great taking our order, but was really slow to get our check, and I felt sometimes our waiter was at the bar watching whatever was on TV, so not too happy about that. Anyhow, cool place, thought it was okay. PS. Got the California Sushi roll and it was pretty bomb.

I would actually give it 4.5 stars! While youngest child was away at camp, Handsome Husband and I went out for a much needed Happy Hour. It was fantastic! The menu items on the Happy Hour menu were really fantastic, and the amount of food was plentiful. We ordered four items -- coconut shrimp, a clam thing, sweet potatoe fries and serano ahi poke. We couldn't finish it all and we went in starving. Better thing is that Handsome Husband had two mai tais that he said were amazing, and I had 3 glasses of chardonnay, and the entire bill was $80. It was a complete meal, with leftovers. (I didn't order Happy Hour wine, and we ordered more food than we needed so it could definitely have been done more economically if you needed or wanted to.) Loved this place. We sat in the outside area of the bar which felt perfectly like half in and half out ... really a great place. Can't wait to go back with my girlfriends, too!

Pretty darn tasty. Lots of options for seafood but also lots for people that don't like fish a ton like myself. Food tastes yummy and there are a lot of healthy options. It gets pretty loud when it's busy but the food is definitely worth it.

I don't know why people come here. Some people love it, but I feel like this is a place where you go if you're not very hungry because portions are small. My friend loves the fish tacos here and I guess it was my mistake of not getting that. Fries are not crunchy and the fish and chips are not crunchy as well.. They're both seemly soggy.. Oh and guess what?.. They don't carry ranch and I love ranch. Bummer The cocktails were good and the salmon poke bowl. It's a very nice venu with a nice patio area but I probably wouldn't come back. Good thing I was with good company (:

So basically, this place is awesome. Their Rice Bowls are crazy big portions and definitely could share between two people unless you can handle big portions then go for it. The sticky ribs are delicious as well. Customer service was great too. I'd love for them to open up a spot in Berkeley/Oakland area. We had our dogs so we sat outside, and they were quick to seat us and had a water bowl ready to set down for our dog. Thanks guys! You guys are awesome!

The food was so so, and our server ** **** was rude and disappeared for 25 minutes while our water glasses were empty, i'd totally skip this over priced foo-foo fusion place.

Oh no...... I found my new favorite restaurant and if I'm not careful I will go to it soo often that it won't be fun anymore. THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FISH TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE..... DEAD SERIOUS -- they rival the fish tacos that I make at home. Here's what you're gonna do -- SIT DOWN in the bar area if you can. 1 x Order Mahi Fish Tacos 1 x Order Steak Tacos 1 x Order Baja Tacos - Kindly ask for some Ciracha and cover your tacos in the majestic orange sauce. Finish off your tacos with a couple beers I swear there is no better place to chill out and enjoy your tacos. Btw I forgot to mention their staff is amazing and nice and deserve ALL YOUR TIPS.

Really good restaurant located inside the pruneyard in Campbell. Parking wise, during peak times it could get pretty crowded in the front of the restaurant but there's usually plenty of parking the back area. This restaurant specializes in seafood, with sorta a Japanese fusion style to it with dishes such as poke, rice bowls, sushi, etc. Look wise, its nicely decorated, especially the restrooms which shows how detailed they were in making the restaurant look perfect. As for the food, we started off with the poke variety dish, and for the main course had the fish taco trio and the teriyaki fish rice bowl. The poke sampler allows you to choose 3 different types of poke...we tried the macadamia nut one, classic style, and white tuna. I would say all three was really good and really fresh. Price was about 19 bucks...but could easily be shared with 4 people. I also liked how they included some vegetables and seaweed salad which was a major plus. As for the fish taco trio, you can choose which type of fish taco's you want...I got the baja style, shrimp with fish, and mahi mahi. Each have their own variations such as sauce, texture, condiments, etc. I would say the tacos tasted very good, tortilla's were very soft and you could definitely taste the freshness of the fish. As for the teriyaki fish rice bowl, portion was very big for one person. The bowl also included grilled pineapple which was a plus. I believe they also use brown rice instead of the usual rice. Overall it was a good experience dining here. Price a little, I'd say is a little on the higher side. But perfect for groups, a date, or even just a casual dinner. Would definitely recommend this place!

Decided to treat myself to a dinner. Started off with the fried oysters! Make sure to get a side siracha to add to the tarter sauce and squeeze all the lemon juice ! Oysters were awesome ! Dinner BBQ steak bowl ! I found myself looking for my steak ! However the flavors were sweet to sour to hot ! Great food fun spot

Food quality for its price: Excellent - There really isn't much improvement that can be done here, considering its competitive price. Service: Great - I think they can step it up a tad bit here, but overall I don't have any complaints. Environment: meh :/ - Pacific Catch claims to be "Fresh Fish Grill". Can you please make your restaurants be a more of a seafood environment please? I've never gone to Pacific Catch thinking that this is a "Fresh fish joint". Overall, the service, quality of food, and its competitive price gives me a 4/5 Yelp starts. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's one of my few favorite restaurants.

We were in the neighborhood and my friend wanted to try it, so I gave Pacific Catch another try. This time we were there for dinner. We had a 5:30 reservation and the place was packed! We were surprised it was so crowded so early. Our waiter apologized for the long wait. He was swamped and running around like crazy. It was super loud in the restaurant. How loud was it? It was so loud we had a hard time hearing each other, and we were sitting right across from each other leaning in straining to hear. I had the Korean BBQ w/skirt steak. The meat still had some pink, and all I enjoyed all of the toppings. My friend started with a HUGE side salad. She liked her Panama style Mahi Mahi with the black beans & rice. So my second meal at Pacific Catch was okay. Food was pretty good, but service and atmosphere was hard to take. I guess if you are into the bar scene or doing a lot of people watching, this could be a good location. However, if you want to be able to carry on a conversation or talk about anything private, you may want to avoid Pacific Catch.

The place gets busy during dinner! First time here and it was good, but not sure if it's worth the money. +ceviche trio - hawaiian poke, preruvian and baja shrimp were all amazing! +sweet potato fries - never fails +steelhead in dashi broth - super small portions and expensive =/ +ecstasy roll - albacore, ahi tuna and avocado roll - deepfried with citrus soy - good! +thai tea and lemongrass infused tea - pass!

I came here for a late lunch today to find out once and for all if this place lived up to the hype I had heard and read about from Yelp. Surprisingly when I had arrived, the place was pretty dead but that worked out for me since I was starvin' Marvin. I ordered the Japanese Wasabi Pan-Asian Rice Bowl with Hawaiian Poke plus brown rice and the Ecstacy Roll as an appetizer. Funny thing was the server didn't bring out the complimentary snacks (edamame and the goldfish pretzels) as I had noticed you should get based on other Yelper's reviews. The only reason I even got some snacks was because I had asked the manager on duty (who was also our food table runner) if he could bring some to us. Aside from that, the Ecstacy Roll was decent (considering it had no rice) but it was definitely on the sweeter side due to the sauce it was sitting in. The Japanese Wasabi Bowl had a myriad of vegetables (from seaweed salad to cucumbers, etc.) and the Hawaiian Poke sitting on top of a big helping of brown rice. I also thought the bowl tasted decent with the exception of the soy wasabi flavoring that was on the brown rice. I didn't realize the rice would be doused in those flavors based on the vague description in the menu so I chose not to eat the brown rice and opted to eat just the veggies and the poke. All in all, the ambience is nice and the service is very attentive however based solely on the food, I won't be returning.

Not sure why the reviews are so good for this place.... we visited on Feb 15 at lunch time and the kitchen was extremely slow to serve our food. In fact I noticed the 3 tables around us also were waiting an abnormally long time and guests were looking annoyed and impatient, just like us. It took about 40 minutes for our entrees to be served. That was simply unacceptable. I feel bad for our waitress (who was actually quite nice) to have deal with angry guests because of how slow the kitchen was taking. We will definitely not be coming back.

Kraygg Y.
Interesting menu...I would categorize it as an attempt at pacific rim fusion. My opinion is that the chef is sticking too close to a Hawaiian menu for me to deem it fusion. It is lacking the hallmarks of pacific rim fusion...traditional or french technique with pacific rim ingredients. Don't get me wrong, the food is great, but with a bit more effort it could be spectacular. Otherwise it is good Amer-Asian food. Preparation was great...but not awe inspiring.

I had heard good things about this place but wasn't expecting much, and it ended up being a great dinner. It was surprisingly uncrowded on a Sunday night, but we chose to sit at the bar, which I thought was better than the main dining room. They had some good cocktails for summer. I tried a spicy pacific (jalapeño, passion fruit, vodka), which had a nice kick, and a prickly pear margarita (don't be scared by the bright pink color!). I had the margarita without agave since I like my drinks tart. - Sweet potato fries: a big plate, good chili dipping sauce - Mango shrimp ceviche: just the right amount of acidity, balanced out by avocado - Seared ahi tuna salad: fresh seared tuna, slightly under-seasoned. It came with pickled ginger, which was pretty strong but good. It was a pretty light salad with lots of mixed greens - Miso salmon special: I don't usually order salmon, but the miso was done really well. A lot of times dishes like this taste very generically Asian, but this one was more well balanced This is much better than your usual shopping plaza restaurant, and I'm glad they just opened one closer to me in Mountain View.

Amazing Poki! This place was great with great flavors and especially the poki was to die for. I had the Serrano pepper poki and it was perfectly spicy (i usually like my food pretty spicy). I also have tried the ribs which is a tiny bit salty but was delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful on picking out food. Will be coming back soon!

My friend found this place on yelp and I was excited to try it since there were so many good reviews. Alas I was semi-disappointed with the food. Fish tacos: 3/5 a little on the soggy side. Poke: 4/5 the one with the green onions and soy sauce like sauce was the best of the three that we chose Ahi salad: 3/5 not too memorable Fish and chips: 2/5 soggy meh. The actual place is spacious. We sat outside in the back patio which was nice. Waiter was attentive. The food could have been better.

I have been to this place a couple of times but today was the best Adam the bartender was excellent when someone remembers what they recommend last time you where there that says a lot about him he is always so polite always offering you water and tonight he recommend a awesome tangerine beer which I loved and he recommend a awesome dessert that I think next time I'm having dessert first it was delicious it was ice cream with a fried spring roll filled with cheesecake the best ! So far everything he recommends is the best ! I will go back to see what else he recommends

so crowded! make a reservation beforehand! The atmosphere is nice. it is a liiiitle crowded feeling though but its not too bad. maybe just because the place was really packed that night. I've been wanting to come here to try their ahi and honestly... it was allllllright. having had the real thing in hawaii. Maybe I just ordered the wrong ahi to try? I would give this place a 3.5 to be more accurate. But this place is a little overpriced in my opinion. But I will definitely give it another try.

In town for business and dropped in for dinner. Got tacos, steak and shrimp, and the signature margarita. Everything was pretty good. The tacos were tough to eat without dropping some bits. Great value, expect comfort food, no fancy dishes.. I wouldn't have a business meeting over lunch or dinner, unless you don't mind getting a grease spot on your shirt. It gets 4 stars since it's a great value.

If you haven't gone here yet, GO. I can't recommend this place any more if you like Japanese food. Did I mention they have Brown Rice too? Yup, they have this option if you're trying to be healthier like I am. We were here for my dad's birthday a few weeks ago and I have to say that *every* dish we had was really good. Let's start off with mine: *Japanese Wasabi- wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce. The waitress said that this was one of the most popular items on the menu and since I couldn't decide between this and the salad version, she said that I could have the cooks portion it out so that I could have a little more salad than rice. Basically, I was having both dishes blended into one. Yay! This was so good and filling that the next day when I had the leftovers for lunch, I wish I had more. My only complaint here is that I wish it had a larger serving of the Seared Ahi. *Thai Curry with Mahi Mahi- sauteed eggplant, red bell peppers, green beans, cucumber, onions, toasted coconut, crispy shallots & green curry sauce. They hit it right on with this one. The Thai Curry sauce was perfectly creamy- not too rich and not too light and everything blended together so nicely with the rice. Lovely dish. *Korean Barbecue- green onion panchan, seasoned cucumber, shredded omelette, daikon sprouts, shredded nori & Korean BBQ sauce. My brother ordered this one and since I'm not a big steak eater I wasn't too excited to try it. He offered a bite and it was delicious. Great for anyone who loves the taste of Korean Barbecue. If you're ever in the area stop by if you're in the mood for Japanese.

Just had a fantastic lunch here. Thai Salmon bowl, highly recommended. Fish was fresh, perfectly grilled. Sauce was complimenting the dish, not overpowering it. Waitstaff was great, accommodated any questions and requests we had.
I recently had lunch at Pacific Catch and really enjoyed my meal. Once you sit down, they give you a little plate of edamame and pretzel goldfish crackers. The edamame was really good. Its a nice snack while you look over the menu and wait for your meals. I ordered the California Roll Salad. It was basically the insides of a California roll but in salad format. Lots of fresh yummy crab, avocado, cucumbers, good salad greens. The dressing was little spicy but tasty. My dining companion had the shrimp tacos. She really enjoyed them. Our waitress was good. Not too pushy, came around often to check on us. I definitely will try this place again.

What a waste of a bday dinner! First and last time here! BTW, spent ~$300 for a party of 8. Should have gone somewhere else! The food was forgettable and overpriced, but what really did this restaurant in was the horrible service. I mean, for the prices we paid, I expect a certain level of service and friendly hospitality. Sadly, we didn't get it here and they are losing any future visits from us and hopefully, anyone who reads this. One good thing (thus the 1 star) everyone from the greeters and managers were so friendly, but...how does the saying go... "One bad apple spoils the bunch." That bad apple's name is MARIA, our server. She had some type of chip on her shoulder, was having a bad day, normally has a bad attitude, is a terrible server, or, as I suspect, ALL OF THE ABOVE! First, from the moment we sat down until the end of our meal, she came off as stuck up, unfriendly and annoyed to be there. EARTH to MARIA: You are a server and its your job to treat the guests at your tables with respect. One tip: Even if you aren't in the mood to be friendly, why don't you at least make an effort to fake it. I asked to substitute my small side of beans for something else due to dietary reasons. Before I could even finish my sentence, Maria said "we can't make substitutions". Nevermind, that I was willing to pay for a different side, what kind of restaurant DOESN'T make substitutions for dietary reasons?!? The rest of the night was a blur of Maria being annoyed every time we asked for more water, an extra glass, more napkins...you know, normal stuff you ask your server. Pacific Catch had such potential to be a frequent dining location for us. That won't be happening!

This is a nice restaurant with good veggie options. I usually get the Teriyaki bowl with tofu and half rice half greens. It has pineapple, edamame, carrot, teriyaki sauce and then the tofu, rice and greens. I also recently tried the green curry bowl with tofu. That was good as well..

I would not call this uber-gourmet but I would also come back and try some other things. Original poke - This was far saltier than I like. Someone might have had a heavy hand with the soy sauce that day or maybe this is how they do it on purpose, but either way, we didn't finish this. Bummer, because I quite like poke. Our server took it off the bill. Sushi roll - We had one with shrimp, avocado, ginger, cucumber, and lemon zest. I liked the lemon zest; I could have done without the internal ginger though my husband liked the effect. The nori needed to be toasted more (it was a a bit stringy). Fish and chips - Pretty good. Felt like the fish needed seasoning (the salt was mostly on the battered part). They split an order for us and plated it separately, which was nice. Service was friendly and prompt. This place is fairly close to where our new house is going to be, so although I was not precisely blown away, we'll keep it on the list to try more stuff in future.

Very good, but not extraordinary. Food: Fish is very fresh and portions are huge (so don't be wary if you think it is overpriced). My meal was very good but not exceptional. Menu: Great variety of different items including: tacos, salads (huge salads), rice bowls and appetizers. Service: The wait staff was very attentive and efficient. Atmosphere: OK. The restaurant is a little loud and the tables were also a too close together. I also felt like the tables were too high (or the chairs to short)--I'm average height (5"5) and I felt like I was slightly reaching up. Likewise, it's not situated in an ideal area of the Pruneyard. Specifically, it is in the far corner of the Pruneyard (towards Bascom and Hamilton) so there is a lot of traffic outside. Please Note: Pacific Catch is actually Fish-Asian fusion so if you are look for a traditional / straightforward fish restaurant you might want to rethink coming here.

So the day after writing my review (thats impressive within itself), the manager contacted me and apologized for my bad experience, and offered the opportunity to have a better entree experience at the restaurant on her. Although i probably won't have a free night to dine in at the prune yard any time relatively soon, its still a super good sign of good management! Im eager to try the food again.

This is not my first time at Pacific Catch...we've been coming here for years (we used to live near the one in Corte Madera). Now we live no where near a pac catch but luckily they have this one in Campbell that is our go to stop for dinner after a day at the beach! It is located right of off the Hamilton exit on highway 17. In any pac catch I've been to the staff is always super friendly. We never make reservations but don't have to wait long for a table (we're usually here on Sundays so I'm not sure how packed it is Friday and Saturday). It is great for kids and I LOVE that they put a nice big serving of steamed broccoli, just as big as the french fry portion. I highly recommend the poke salad, it's a staple. They have good mixed drinks as well. If I were to sum up Pac Catch in 3 words it would be Fresh, Friendly, and Fantastic ;-)

I like this place, very good! Best calamari with the incredible tasty sauce . Thai curry bowl with skirt steak or shrimp with tangerine wheat beer. So good. Service might be slow and not organized sometimes but I usually go during the slow times of the day and sit at or near bar to make sure I get someone to take care of me .

You know a quality restaurant when: 1. They are playing the niners (and I assume most other bay area team's) game at the bar. There are 2 TVs in the restaurant (bar) 2. The staff is friendly (specifically the bartender on sunday night) 3. So friendly that the manager himself came out to greet us personally 4. Free dessert offer on foursquare checkin (highly recommend the dulce de leche "spring rolls") 5. The food is tasty - Ordered the Wasabi rice bowl. the size is HUGE, and you know its a good quality when the leftovers the next day are just as good as the day before. The bits of creamy avocado mixed with ginger, poke (raw ahi), brown rice, lettuce, etc... mmmmmm 6. Tuesday is half off bottle of wine day 7. Happy hour M-F 4-6 8. Ambience is hip, romantic, modern 9. Need I say more? Great first time experience, I will be back :)

We went here for my friend's birthday back in November. There were 6 of us and it was all our first time coming. At first, we were all pretty excited because we have heard such awesome things about the food. When we walked in we were seated immediately, which was awesome. But, after we were seated, Maria, who apparently was our waiter, comes by and drops off menus without saying one word. There was no hello, how are you, or even asked if we're celebrating anything. When she returned the 2nd time to get our order, we asked for recommendations and what she thought about certain items so we could create conversation and all me got was a quiet, uninterested, monotone response. Every time she had come back, she was rude and stuck up, like she was better than all of us at the table. We ended up ordering 6 plates of entrees, 4 appetizers, and 3 pitchers of Mai Thai. The Mai Thais were strong and definitely worth the money. As far as food, the poke plates and calamari were very tasty but the breaded and fried oysters and fish were way too breaded and oily. All the other plates we ordered were also pretty good. (Which is why I still gave 2 Stars) The worst part of the meal was after we had paid the tab. Our bill came out to be around $200 and we gave the waitress about $25 tip because of how rude she was throughout our entire meal. Maria storms back to our table DEMANDING a larger tip. Telling our table how she needs to pay off the hostess and the bartender. And blah blah blah. Because we apparently didn't suffice her and after she pays everyone off she won't have any left. She's lucky she to receive what we gave her and that we didn't take the tip away completely after her unnecessary outburst. A tip is a form of gratitude. It is not required. If you want a larger tip, give better customer service. It's plain and simple.

I came across the review for the SF location and while poking around on their website, realized that they had one in Campbell! Perfect! I made a reservation on Opentable since I was in charge of making the plans for my Aunt's birthday. It's located in Pruneyard, and I usually hate looking for restaurants in Pruneyard since its so spread out and signs are hard to see but this restaurant is located on the Bascom side of the shopping center. Service was FANTASTIC. I baked a NY Cheesecake from scratch the night before and dragged the monstrosity in and the manager and hostess was nice enough to take it to the back to refridgerate and not charge a cake cutting fee! Our server Gilbert was great! it's not easy dealing with my loud multi-lingual, we-don't-follow-etiquette-family. We have a tendency to place our orders in a willy nilly fashion and not go in order... or do the ladies first and then gentlemen. Pacific Catch was offering their crab festival and we ordered two of the whole dungeness roasted crabs for the table to share. In addition we ordered a variety of crab melts, crab chowders, and fish and chips. Food was solid. The noodles with the whole crab was on the gummy side and clumped together. That was the only part that needed improvement. The crab melt was delicious and could use more clumpy crab meat instead of coming off as canned; especially for the high price. Mahi mahi was solid and came with a generous helping of rice and bean. Crab chowder was delicious. Food was pretty much a hit except for the slight slip ups. At the end, Gilbert brought out a pitcher of hot water with a knife and spatula, along with an extra napkin so we can slice the cheesecake. 5 star service!!! 4 star food, Given that the manager and Gilbert were so awesome, I'll round up. :)

OVERALL: Good clean food - nothing exceptional or different but dependable. Can't complain that it wasn't yummy. Will probably come back if I'm craving a non-specific fish dish. SPECIFICS: Cons -Next time, I would skip the sushi here -understandably not their forte. -Farmed fish (to be fair, that's the case with most restaurants) Pros -Love the complimentary fish pretzels and edamame - goes really well together surprisingly! -Fish tacos were very tasty in a non-authentic, upscaled kind of way. OPINIONS: - A little on the pricey side for what it is. I would say you're paying more for the nice setting and the fancy blue water bottles.

Not bad. I really wanted to try this place, I got the tacos (shrimp, steak, & fish), it was pretty good. Tried the California poke, which was so-so, but kinda salty. Also tried the calamaris which were also salty...I'm just not a fan of very salty food. Although, the food wasn't bad at all, it would be nice to tone down on the salt though.

We went a second time and fully enjoyed it. One suggestion to the restaurant, don't serve a full bottle of water at the table. I asked for one glass of water and was given one glass with a full bottle of water. I had only one glass and I'm sure the rest was poured out. Wasteful in theses times of drought.

Visited for Sunday dinner. Booked reservations through their website (via Open Table). Nice feature and recommended for dinner. It was buzzing. They're located in the Pruneyard, but at the very corner of the property, so a little walk if you park by the towers. We arrived early and asked if we could get an earlier time. Hostess was able to accommodate. Seating is casual and nice. Menu was extensive and the place had families to couples to larger parties. Water comes in blue bottles and poured into oversized shot glasses. Thought that was cool. The server was very nice and pleasant. We ordered the calamari, macadamia nut mahi mahi, and the roasted salmon salad. This is where the stars were deducted. Calamari: soggy, not crispy. Dip was nce and spicy, but can't get over the sogginess. Mahi mahi: came with mashed purple yam, however I think it would have been better with a rice pilaf or similar. It just felt like it was missing something. The salmon salad was just so-so. My gf actually had a hard time finishing it considering how hungry we both were. I think the calamari may have messed up our stomachs. After leaving, we ended up going to 7-Eleven to get some Ginger Ale to calm our stomachs. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things, but I'll probably not be coming back. There seems to be better options out there.

Nice atmosphere. Practically everything we ordered was salty. The best thing we had was the sweet potato fries and pacific steak taco. Unfortunately, nothing else was very good. The poke was chewy, meaning the cuts were not high quality. Overall, prices were kinda high for the quality of food we got. Our party of 4 was disappointed with the food. Service was ok. We were expecting much better from the reviews. We won't be back anytime soon

Their food is delicious. I always order the same thing...shrimp ceviche and a California roll. Delicious!! We were taken right to our table as soon as we arrived, due to our reservation. The service is always a little funky...either super overly attentive or you're waiting for your water glass to be refilled. But, the food makes up for the service. YUM!

This is a unique place. It's like hip fish market. The one female bartender was extremely fast and on top of it. The food is fresh and good. It's on the expensive side. I love their unique combinations. Parking seems to often be a pain.

I have always had a great experience at Pacific Catch. They come up with very creative plates that I never would think of. The food is always fresh and unique. The atmosphere is a bit loud when it's busy. However it has proven to be a great place to bring clients or those interviewing for our company. The Island Tacos are a favorite of mine. The mahi-tacos are scrumptious. The mahi-mahi special with the homemade salsa and avocado is also very good. And my steadfast order is the vegi salad with grilled salmon on top. It's always a favorite stop for me when I'm in town.

This is mainly a seafood restaurant, but they do have a bunch of rice bowls and sandwiches with chicken, ribs, or steak for the non-seafood eaters. Came here for a work Christmas lunch. For 24 people, we were able to sit in the covered patio area, which was perfect especially since we were doing a White Elephant gift exchange. It wasn't very warm though although it was covered. Sitting next to the plastic window, I kept feeling the cold breeze. For starters, we tried the Cabo Calamari and the Pacific Ceviche Trio. The calamari came with a spicy aioli sauce. The ceviche came with a Hawaiian poke, shrimp ceviche and a Peruvian ceviche. I've never been a fan of poke so I liked the other two. Came with different style chips to go with it too. Perfect for sharing when with big parties. For myself, I ordered a side salad which was very Asian looking as it was spring mix with shiitake mushrooms, edamame, cucumbers, tomatoes, kaiware (Japanese sprout) with a miso dressing, but it was pretty good that I ate it all. A pretty fulfilling side salad though. Then I had the daily special of grilled mahi mahi with broccolini and brown rice. I couldn't finish it all, but it was a good tasty healthy dish. For dessert, I had a bite of the Macadamia Nut Brownie. It was DELICIOUS! So if you have room for dessert, make sure you get this! Overall, good food and great service. My energetic colleagues spilled a glass of water and knocked over the container of soy sauce, but the servers were quick to help us clean up. Attentive with the drink refills too.

I decided I wanted something quick to eat after work one Saturday evening so I sat at the bar and ordered the Hawaiian poke Japanase wasabi bowl, one of their most popular dishes. The bartender was really friendly and attentive, and the food was prompt. The tuna was so delicious and fresh, and the avocado was such a nice touch. I really enjoyed this dish. Some of the food is a little pricey (it's located in the Pruneyard so it's semi fancy) but overall, I would say it's pretty worth it! The place was pretty busy, so that means it's a little noisy on a weekend night. Doesn't feel like an intimate place to come with a significant other, but more for an informal date or celebrating a friend's birthday.

Good drinks, appetizers and main dish. Can't ask for more. Prices were moderate, not cheap but not expensive. Tonight was my wife and I first time here. I guess the test will be the next time we come back.

I've dined at Pacific Catch in the Pruneyard Shopping Center many times and I must say that I've never been disappointed...The service is always excellent starting with my friend Cheradee and now with my current favorite server Maria...She is always so friendly and knows my favorites. The Shrimp Ceviche and Baja Tacos are fantastic but so are the desserts and French pressed coffee! Give Pacific Catch a try and ask for Maria's section and the lovely hostess KC will greet you with a big smile!

Boy, I have loved this place since I first tried it about a year ago! I sure wish they were around when I used to work just down the road about 20 some years ago! Anyway, I'm about to leave for overseas and we decided why not come here for dinner? I'm so glad we came here tonight. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly hostess, but the place was packed and we were told there would be a wait of 10-15 minutes even though we had a reservation. Scouting around, we found some empty tables in the heated "outdoor" (covered) patio area, which we always enjoyed sitting at so we asked if those tables were available. Within a minute we were told it was and we were seated immediately. The food has been consistently good every time I've been here, and tonight was no exception. We usually like to just order a bunch of items and share them. Tonight we ordered the Pacific Ceviche Trio.....(yummy!), Sweet Potato Fries (Fresh, Hot, & Yummy!), and the Crab Dumplings to start off .....due to the Crab Fest promotion they have going on at the moment (deliciously yummy!). And before I forget to mention, they were all absolutely yummy....and a great way to start off. Then to stay healthy.....plus we knew were were going to get a bit full on appetizers, we shared a Sushi Grade Ahi Salad and a Traditional Baja fish Taco. The salad was good and the fish tacos not bad, but I think I prefer Una Mas's fish tacos a bit more. I think the amount of food was just right.....not too stuffed and did not leave hungry. The place was continuously crowded throughout the whole hour and a half we were dining there, so that pretty much tells you how popular this place is. And even with the crowd, our server was always friendly, helpful, and the food all came out pretty quickly....hot, fresh, and delish. I think with good weather, this outdoor patio will be a great place to hang out with friends for tapas style munching and a glass of wine (or beer). Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

MEHHHH. Honestly I don't understand why this place has 4 stars. 1 star for good and friendly service. 1 star for the crab & corn chowder (which was the only food I liked here) The thai coconut shrimp wasn't anything special. Fried oyster w/ fries were ok. The korean sticky ribs - yuck! I was basically forcing myself to eat what we ordered.

For a strip mall restaurant, PC is pretty nice in side. I like the SF locales and figured it was time to check this one out. Fairly sleek, high ceilings, dimly lit. We were seated in the middle of the large room. At the bar they have some TVs so Icould catch some of the sports happening that day. After looking at all the choices we had: Pacific Ceviche Trio - - Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke & Peruvian ceviche Fish & Chips Grilled Mahi Mahi Everything was tasty. They give you a lot of food here too. I can be a pretty big eater with my friend and we both took home food. Service was friendly, though maybe a bit anxious. They have a good set of bar drinks and surprisingly they carry Mighty Leaf ea and Equator Coffee (they serve this at French Laundry). If you like seafood done with Asian touches, Pacific Catch is a satisfying pick

Went with some friends for dinner couple weeks back. It wasn't eventful or loud so that was nice and our server was responsive and gave great recommendations on food. not bad for seafood and fair prices! Parking can be hard to find at times, so come early because you will be gyrating the parking lot.

Nice. So good. I had the Hawiian Poke bowl as a suggestion from my co-worker and dining companion. It was the perfect balance of rice, fish, avocado, and other nutritious toppings. The vibe of this place is pretty chill and service is good. Lunch at The Pruneyard is difficult to find parking. Super frustrating. But, if you snag a spot, this is definitely the best choice for a lighter meal in the Pruneyard. A lot of the drinks looked soooo good as well as the other food on the menu. Since my lunch was awesome, I assume other things on the menu are as well.

I was craving for a good calamari & unfortunately didn't have my phone with me to yelp restaurants. It was a monday afternoon, i believe we were the first one there, maybe 4ish. We decided to have a takeout order, my son got the kids fish &chips & I got their Cabo Calamari, eagerly awaiting to see and taste their calamari , I opened & tried in the parking lot and all goes downhill. Portion size, i've never ordered a calamari that they have to mix on some yellow squash tempura, some wontons, and a peppers , what??? To add volume?? Sooo not worth for the price maybe whay 20 small rings and 3/4 heads? Taste wise naaah?! Very greassssyyyy! Eeeww! Can't wait to see starbucks to get a hot tea! My son's fish n chips is also blah, taste like the one u can buy at the park, less than ordinary- over All rate??? This place is Forgettable!!!

I just don't understand how people love this place. Been here twice so far. The first time I didn't enjoy anything that my boyfriend and I ordered, the second time to see if our opinions were wrong. I don't want to spend my morning ranting so I'll keep this simple. For someone that has tried some pretty damn good Asian places in the bay area...this place wouldn't be worth it. I kept finding myself with certain expectations and comparing it with other restaurants that serve the same thing (but better) in my head. I feel as if the dishes here are more geared more for an American taste. If that makes any sense. Haha. As for service...hostesses are really sweet. Waiters/waitresses can keep their snotty attitudes at home. I get you don't want to serve us or not in the mood to be working on a Saturday night, but your idgaf attitude means i get into my idgaf attitude and leave you tipless.

The poke here was not fresh when I came in on Saturday afternoon. I was so sad because I ordered everyone's rec of the poke trio and the poke bowl with half salad and half rice and couldn't even finish it! I usually have great experiences with poke, but this PC's catch gave me a stomachache :(

Chucko O.
It was very crowded so I had high expectations. The menu was not what I expected. I expected a fresh seafood and crusty french bread kind of place, but it was not that. The menu is kind of like a hawaiian-mexican fusion thing. They have poke, sandwiches, tacos, and salads. The prices seemed kind of high for what I considered a bar menu. We ordered the poke sampler and it was just OK. It was room temp and a tad bland. I ordered fish tacos as my entree and they were also just OK. Store bought tortillas and average meat. No salsa. I had a side of black beans that came in a ramekin. Very small portions. I don't understand why everyone seems to love this place. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The appetizer poke was really tasty and I thought it was setting us up for a fantastic meal, but I left there kind of underwhelmed. The fish of the day was Hawaiian and, while it was light (tried the fish and chips and fish tacos), it kind of lacked flavor. Smaller things, like their teas and fried oysters, were enjoyable. The place itself is cool with a nice outside patio. I thought the price of fish tacos and fish and chips was a little high for the quality of the meal - especially considering it comes with standard french fries or sweet potato fries. Maybe it deserves another visit cause yelp really seems to like this place.

I have mixed feelings about this place after our last visit there. The food is no doubt excellent, very fresh and delicious. The selection of fresh ahi tuna and other items is amazing. However, they did not seem well prepared for the Saturday night rush. Wait for a table was around half an hour, which is okay, only we spent 15 min out of 30 waiting for a bartender to take our drinks at the bar. She seemed to be missing. Eventually a manager came out and gave us complimentary drinks. After being seated, it took awhile for the waitress to appear. We were about to go look for same manager again. After she brought us our food, she realized she did not write one of the dishes we've ordered down at all, and we had to wait for that to come out (ahi tuna rice bowl). It also took 5 repetitive requests to the waitress to get them to turn the heater on above our table (we were seating outside). Then more waiting for the check. All in all, I'd give it another shot since the food was so really really good, but may be try a different location.

Went by here today for a late lunch. Boy, are we glad that we did. It was one of the best dining experiences we have had lately. First of all the atmosphere is so new and fresh. We recently had a bad experience at The Fish Market and there is no comparison. The menu was fresh, original and creative Since it was opening of Crab season, we ordered a Crab Louis salad. It was huge and very good. The dressing was obviously homemade and was subtle enough to let the crab shine. And, it was huge even for the two of us. We also shared a Mahi Mahi dish with tomato confit on top. Also served with perfectly cooked broccolini. We asked for no rice, so we doubled the veggie. Glad we did. Delicious, delicious and the confit was awesome. The fish was at least 6-8 ounces, so we easily shared it and didn't feel shorted. Food was served on interesting plates and beautifully layout out with style and color, which made it more appealing. Service was attentive and professional. And, we thought the prices were more than fair with lunch prices. The Mahi was $16, which is amazing considering the quality and service size portion. Had a chance to talk with one of the owners today. Asked him how it was possible that there were some recently really bad reviews on YELP. He didn't really have an explanation but I told him I was so impressed, I would try to offset it telling others about my experience today. Can't guarantee you will have the same experience, but we are definitely going back.

Pacific Catch has some of the best sushi around and their fish tacos are delicious. Its a great place to meet people for a drink and grab some great food that is not very expensive. The outdoor patio seating is best as it gets a bit noisy inside.

Am now a total regular here. We always sit at the bar and the service is great. The Kiwi Flash is my favorite cocktail, hands down, but I also love the Spicy Pacific Martini. Boyfriend loves the Dark & Stormy. Tell the guys what you like and don't and they'll make some suggestions. They're great people and they make great cocktails. Wines are nice as well and they have an excellent Happy Hour. We've now tried many dishes.. I still love the steak tacos and the ecstasy roll but now I can add the Peruvian ceviche to that (it is really outstanding... and my second favorite is the Baja shrimp ceviche), any of the rotating fresh fish options, the Shiso Fine and Rising Sun rolls and any of the soup of the day. We most recently had the crab and corn chowder and and it was great... a perfect sized portion with a nice amount of spice, chunky veggies, lovely crab and a drizzle of cilantro oil. Really, really good. In addition, their side salad is one of the best I've ever had... the miso-based (I'm assuming) dressing is delicious.. I love the edamame and radish sprouts... and it's big enough for two to share if you're trying a bunch of entrees. We have not tried the sandwiches or the main course salads but I'm sure we'll get there at some point. So far I have not had a bad dish yet and we literally go in at least once a week. Delish.

I found this place on yelp looking for a $$ dinner restaurant. Therefore was not expecting much. But i was blown away by how fancy it looked! Food was a seafood asian-fusion type thing, which I always love. For $60, my friend and I got a good amount of food-- I even had some leftovers! We got: ceviche, Hawaiian poke, tuna trio ($17) for appetizer; entrees were the specials of the day salmon ($21) and white sea bass ($19). See photos. Both were amazingly goooooood. Definitely bookmarked this place for a return visit. Also a dog-friendly place, which made my fluffy friend and me extra happy. :)

Everyone was very friendly we had our bicycles outside and asked to be seated in an area so we can watch them and the host chose a perfect table for us. The food was great! I had the salmon tacos and my boyfriend had the Japanese wasabi rice bowl, both delicious! Enjoyed the ambience and the food was not too expensive.

Standard. The restaurant decor is confusing even though it's "nice." The menu offers sandwiches and rice bowls which is a bit turn off for the type of restaurant they are trying to convey. Prices are fair since their ingredients are good but when you think of Rice bowl you think of $7 not $15+ Sushi here and then some fried battered stuff there and expensive tasteless salads $18. The menu needs to be redesigned ASAP! Service is fine. This being one of the few fish places around will probably to be busy but it won't be long. Price point is fine but it needs to be plated and designed with better Nutrition IMO. It's like getting a seafood yoshinoya for $20 -- messy. I tried several things and also ordered fish on its own as a side order. Cooked well, but seasoning needs adjusting. Most ppl think heavy seasoning Is necessary for seafood but it only brings saltiness, sweetness and heavy cover up. Sad... Overall solid. Beware of the sauces and heavy "seasoning" and coverings

3.5 stars I have been keeping an eye on the construction progress of Pacific Catch over the past few months. Finally, the restaurant opened and I got to try it over the weekend. Upon entering the restaurant, I was quite surprised by the decor and atmosphere of the place. It is something you might see in a large city Downtown or Santana Row. The restaurant looks great and I really like the vibe of the place. The menu sounds great and I was salivating over the menu. My friend and I decided upon a 3 taco platter with the spiced fries, baja fish taco, the shrimp taco and the steak taco. We also shared the Vietnamese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. For lunch, the entrees are quite overpriced for a sandwich ($12) and 3 tacos ($14). Overall, the food was not bad but we were expecting great flavor and quality. The place has been open only a few weeks and I'm sure I will go back after the food gets a bit better. The steak in the sandwich was quite chewy and I had to spit out a few pieces of it here and there. The pickled vegetables lacked the flavor I was expecting. Sweet potato fries were ok as they were mushy and not crispy. The spiced fries were crispy and were fine. The tacos were probably the best part of lunch as they full of flavor and good marinated meats. The staff was very nice and answered all of our questions. I can see this place becoming a super hotspot for the Pruneyard and hopefully bring in more restaurants like this to the area. But for now, I think they need to work on the food just a tad bit.

Kona pilsner on draft was excellent. We didn't like the korean sticky ribs as they lacked any distinctive korean flavoring. The overbearing flavor may have been five-spice. We also ordered the poke trio which was served with won ton chips and was pretty good. The kids had rice bowls and ate them without complaints, a silent sign of approval. The highlight of the meal was the 3 island taco platter - traditional Baja, cabo shrimp and pacific steak. All were fresh, moist and went really well with the Kona.

This place is horrible! We ordered mahi (grilled, i suppose) which came with the eggplant, some ginger and 2 FRIED fish pieces as well. Nowhere on the menu it said the fried fish pieces were coming as well! If you charge $23 for that dish, make sure you know how to season and cook that mahi!! The kids' meal was served on a plate covered with some newspaper-like paper. REALLY? It looked disgusting! Where in the world did you learn to serve food on a newspaper? The broccoli was not cooked either or seasoned. Overall, i do not think this place deserves to be open or even in any type of business. Never -ever will i recommend it to anyone we know. Actually, i will tell people NOT to go and waste their time and money there. HORRIBLE!! Plus, the waitress was the most annoying person and had no business working there or anywhere else. Bad service, horrible food and overall a bad place.

It was my first time eating here. My girlfriend insisted on eating here and it turned out to be great! We ordered the Poke Fest Tro, Pork Sanwich, and my favorite the Ecstasy Sushi Roll. Not only was the food good the service was excellent! Our server was very polite and made sure everything was going right. If I could remember correctly I think our servers name was Oana. I really recommend this place!

No matter what location, Pacific Catch will be 5 stars for meeeee! It is one of my favorite restaurants and I am so glad I no longer have to travel all the way to SF to eat there now that this location recently opened up! Came here this past week with a bunch of my cousins. This place is as crowded as Yard House (the new IT place) but better. WHY? They take reservations!!! My cousin reserved us a table so we didn't have to wait. Although we did wait because we came really early, but we were seated on time. The layout is different than the one in SF, but the environment is pretty much the same. Anyway, we were seated at a really good spot. Had lots of room for the 8 of us. I loved my Grilled Salmon Salad. My cousins got their bowls. The Korean Bowl was SUPER DELISH. The portions are decent sized. Really fresh like the SF location. READ MY SF REVIEW for this place since its pretty much the same...except wow our waitress seemed REALLY clueless. Basically my cousin ordered the Korean bowl and asked if there was kim chee in the dish. Instead of telling us she didn't know what kim chee was, our waitress says "OH UHM Yeah there is. It is like cooked with onions in the bowl..." Definitely didn't see ANY onions in that bowl and you don't cook kim chee with that.... ALSO she forgot to bring my other cousin her guava drink and her soup.... I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that it was her first day or something, but c'mon man! get it right. Anyways this place is good good good for groups! Coming back here soon :)

My server was pushy. He didn't understand the concept of "I am waiting for someone at the bar and no I don't want a drink right now." Nonetheless, I LOVE PACIFIC CATCH. I have scanned the menu, weighed my options, but truly only order the POKE. Obviously, we aren't in Hawaii folks, but this does the trick. Salad is fresh, lots of tuna, and huge. For $13 bucks, this is a legit dinner or hearty lunch. I love Pacific Catch and yes I request it on valentine's day. That's what's up.

This place is excellent. Fast friendly service. The calamari, ecstasy roll, and fish tacos are fantastic. Salmon specials are great. Spicy vodka drink was very good. Macadamia brownie Sunday and leche spring rolls were also tasty! Highly recommend this place!

I've been here a few times. Atmosphere is impressive while still being casual and comfortable. The drink menu is extensive and they have a great selection of wine and beer. The food is pretty solid. I've gotten the fish tacos and salads here. Felt fresh with a so cal seafood vibe. Would recommend for date night or girls night. Cons are parking in the Pruneyard and tepid water they have in glass bottles.

My husband and I are regulars at this place- me for the margarita and he for the Spicy Pacific Catch drink! We also like the food, especially the shrimp ceviche and coconut shrimp. For the most part, the servers are nice (every once in a while, we'll get a grumpy one) and make sure to take part of their Happy Hour (it's a really great deal on drinks and rolls!). We always make sure to have a reservation when we bring the kids.

Kate L.
I like this place. It has a great vibe. Since I'm not a seafood or fish eater I make the most when I go with a group of friends who want to dive into some prawns or bass. I LOVE that I have variety in the menu at Pacific Catch. I've had fun trying various cocktails from their menu. We prefer to sit in the lounge as it is always entertaining and not as noisy. I've recommended this place to a few people. Although parking at the Pruneyard is challenging at dinner time, it's worth it.

Bart T.
The service was great. We never had to ask the waitress for a refill on my drink, and she checked in the perfect amount to see how we were doing. I have been here twice and each time food has been fantastic! I had the Korean sticky ribs which are always fall off the bone, and the teriyaki rice bowl with skirt steak and salmon. Can't wait to go back again.

I went to Pacific Catch with a coworker tonight for dinner. We walked in and it was not very busy because it was around 5:00 pm, we were sat quickly to our table. After about 10 minutes of sitting there and waiting for a server while watching the table next to use get their drinks even though they arrived after we did, I finally got up and saw the manager and asked for a server, the manager did not act very concerned but at least he was able to get us a server. The server was very good but that was the only thing good about this experience, which is disappointing because the first time I came here I enjoyed it but now after this I wont be back again. I would rather spend my money at a restaurant that will give me customer service. Ordered a bloody mary, it was their specialty bloody mary but you might as well of called it horse radish mixed with water because that is all I could taste. The fish and chips I ordered were average, a little bland. Fries were decent but can you really mess up fries? Saw the manager walk by and I called him over just to ask him a question, I asked what kind of background music system they used. He was a complete jerk and kind of acted like I was an idiot of asking that question. I work for a company that sells a music service so whenever I go eat at a restaurant I always ask this question so I can figure out the market and do research on the product that they are using. My suggestion is to have better management!! If they are hiring I have managed restaurants before and I am sure they could use my consulting.

Awesome food from any part of the menu. Have tried many of the items on the menu never been dissatisfied by any of them. The service is usually pretty good and wait times are not that long

Came here with my dog right after getting his haircut from a block down the street. The host was very accommodating and welcoming when I arrived with my friend and my dog. I was going to tie my dog outside to the fence by their outside eating area but the host said I could bring him to our table outside. When the host returned he brought us waters and a bowl of water for my dog. I was blown away with the service I received, I went in thinking I would have to leave my dog tied to the fence. My friend and I ordered the Hawaiian poke and I ordered the Korean BBQ with salmon. Both dishes was amazing, quality and portions were perfect. This was my first time dining at PC and would certainly return soon based on the excellent service and their quality of food.

Pacific Catch is my New fav. Place to eat out! Super pleased w. my entire meal....from service to food selection to decor. As a healthy eater, I enjoyed the variety of selections of traditional to fusion. Food quality was top grade and now I know why this place Always has a huge wait on weekends! The staff was great and even learned a bit about the founders from the hostess. Opening another location??? **Recently been going here every Sunday night for my eat up meal while on prep. Diet for a fitness competition..they have been very accommodating to my dietary needs. Thanks guys! :)

The place has a great atmosphere and deco. The service was good as it was a pretty busy night. We ordered shrimp ceviche for an appetizer which is always a favorite. It had a lot of zing and was very tasty but I thought the portion was small. There fish was a bit overcooked on one of our meals but thought the other meals were all great.

Well Daaaaang... This was a special surprise. I came here to meet up and catch up with an old friend. Her being a heavy Yelper as well, suggested we come here to eat the Hawaian Poke. Dood.. OMG... She was not kidding around. The Hawaiian poke was something awesome! I have had Hawaiian poke at many sushi restaurants and never did I think I would find such good Poke at a more commercialized restaurant. In any case, it's a must try! My friend ordered the poke salad for dinner and I ordered the special of the day which was the BBQ scallops. It came out smelling delicious and well, it tasted the same... Delicious! I do feel the scallops could have been cooked just a little longer, but it did not keep me from enjoying this meal what so ever. The service was great and the price was average. It's a great family restaurant and a great place to satisfy that sea food craving. The best thing about it is that it is close. We don't have too many sea food restaurants in the South Bay, but Pacific catch is centrally located in Campbell. I enjoyed this restaurant immensely and will be back.

First thought was another run in the mill seafood restaurant, but as we came in it was quite crowded so didnt.know what to expect. Put our name down wait time given was 30 minute. Surprised we were seated in 15 minutes. Place was nice not overly cluttered with decor. Looked at the menu lots of Hawaiian asain fusion choices. I had the ahi poke tuna salad and a friend had the teriyaki steak rice bowl. We waited 20 minutes for our food longer than would like. But good thing we were clise to the tv near the bar we were occupied watching the lakers game. Overall I enjoyed my salad very little sugar and was surprised it works for my paleo diet. Good amount of fressh fish not overpowering with soy or sesame oil ive tried. Greens was fresh and crispy. Overal worth it for a nice refreshing dinner. My friend enjoyed his teriyaki rice bowl. Good flavor but one draw back of steak was very skimpy on portion. Then again come to a seafood house to get steak is probably not the best of choice. So even though we waited and did not mind, Wana our server was very friendly and took care of us. She even gave us a free dessert for their delay in service. So in my book I`ll be back to try other selections.

This place is definitely not a 4-stars restaurant in my book. I came here for dinner on Friday night and I was pretty excited to finally try this place since it's been in my bookmarks for at least a year. We had no reservations so waited for 45 minutes until we were seated. We ended up ordering: Mixed basket: I picked this so we could be able to try a variety of their appetizers. Everything tasted fine..but I don't see what's the big hype over their sweet potatoes fries because I've definitely had better at a local milk tea shop. Ecstasy Roll: I love sushi so I tend to order sushi wherever I go that offers it..but it was definitely a mistake at this place. This roll was just boring..I had a piece and that was about it. Saucy roll: It was a deep fried roll which came out soggy. Probably due to all the sauce that was splattered on it. Way too sweet..even the sushi at buffet places tasted better. Cioppino: This was on their special menu and so we decided to try it. This was probably the best thing we ordered. It was good and he enjoyed it alot. The sauce was good..but I just wish there was more bread so we can dip it in. He has a big appetite so 2 piece of bread will not fill him up...it wouldn't even fill me up and I really don't eat that much. Fried Spring rolls w vanilla bean ice cream: The food was pretty bad so I barely ate which allowed me to order dessert. This was actually pretty good...I would enjoy it more if it was less sweet. Overall, I would probably give this place a 2.5 stars max. I wouldn't even bother rounding it up to 3 because service wasn't really that great for me. Maybe I came on a off day..but we pretty much had to get our waitress attention and when I asked for a dessert menu..she didn't come back til at least 7 minutes later to give it to me since she was too busy going around checking on other tables...And not ours. I came here on a special occasion..but left feeling grumpy because I feel like the "special event" was ruined. This place is not worth another trip.

I'm nowhere close to going pescatarian, but I am trying to eat more healthful proteins, like fish. The problem is, even though I love to cook I never feel like making fish. Pacific Catch to the rescue! I've been here a handful of times now, and the food has always been consistently good, even though service can be hit or miss. You can't go wrong with the crispy fish or crispy shrimp tacos--expect battered and fried fish or shrimp served in soft corn tortillas with avocado or chipotle sauces. On Cinco de Mayo the special deal was $5.55 for one taco and a Pacifico beer, but the regular price for a single taco and chips is about $5, or you can get three tacos for $12, which come with a side of fries. I love Hawaiian poke, but I never had a local place to get poke-ed until Pacific Catch popped up at the PruneYard. PC does raw fish quite well. I like the poke salad (subbed for the seared ahi), but the ceviches have been really good. On occasion they're a little too acidic--so be prepared for some pucker. So, as you can probably tell by now, Pacific Catch prepares seafood in the style of three culinary regions that share the Pacific Ocean: Latin America, Asia, and Polynesia. It makes for quite a delicious multi-culti dining experience when you can start with ceviche and a California roll, snack on a fish taco, and then finish up with a pineapple cake.

The day I went the service was below average. The server took a very long time to acknowledge us and when she finally came by she wasn't the most friendly or attentive server. Otherwise, I really liked that they had an exclusive GLUTEN-FREE MENU and the options were plentiful. The ceviche was really good but my main dish was kind of blah. I will keep into account that it was Gluten Free so they were light on the sauces, etc. I'm not dying to go back but if someone asked me to go, I would give them another chance. #gluten-free

I love this place for a special family dinner or to entertain guests from out if town. Best fish joint around at a great price. The poke salad is to die for. Full bar compliments the food options. I crave this place more than I find the time to visit.

I came in on a busy Friday. I decided to make a reservation and I was seated as soon as I gave them my name. Gabriel was my server and he was extremely friendly and welcoming. He made great recommendations on poke and some other food. Even though they were busy they did a great job of taking care of my table. This is the second Pacific Catch I have been too and they are very consistent between the restaurants.

Pacific Catch wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I thought this place was going to be really good after seeing all the raving reviews, but I didn't seem to catch what was so special about it. While the food wasn't bad, it was on the salty side sparking my thirst to kick in, but the water cups were so small, and the servers didn't refill our water very often at all. I came a while back when Dungeness Crab season had just started, so I was able to sample the Crab Dumplings from the Crab Feast menu. Four dumplings for $9... Talk about overpriced! They tasted like standard Asian-styled dumplings that you could get anywhere. The Calamari was good as was the Grilled Salmon Salad with the yummy dressing, mushrooms, and salmon skin. The Sushi Grade Ahi Salad wasn't bad, but I preferred the dressing from the Grilled Salmon Salad instead. The Mixed Catch Basket was pretty much your standard fare of fried seafood, none of which I cared for. I also did not enjoy the Mahi Mahi Tacos, and the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich was simply ok. The only sushi roll I was able to try was the Firecracker Salmon Roll subbed with raw salmon, and I actually thought it was pretty good especially with that yummy aioli. If I ever come back, I'll probably stick to the sushi rolls and sub raw fish. Overall, I don't think there's much to love about Pacific Catch although I do love how they start you off with some cold edamame and goldfish pretzels!

Meh, I was underwhelmed by this restaurant. It has a very nice ambiance but the food is not up to par. We got the hawaiian poke to start with and it was mediocre. Rarely do I find poke that is not doused with all types of sauces, covering the flavor of the fish, bleh. I got the ahi tuna sandwich, which I didn't enjoy. I brought home most of it and didn't even finish it at home. The ginger in it was totally overwhelming and did not enhance the flavor of the sandwich. My boyfriend got the fish & chips and it was average. I mean, it's fried fish and french fries...can't mess that up too bad. Our server was very sweet but obviously not experienced. She borderlined on being annoying by coming to the table way too many times. It started becoming awkward with her coming by every 5 minutes. Overall, it was a disappointing meal and I do not see myself coming here again.

Loved their food a while back. Today, we came with our kid, and I guess that scared the servers because we stayed for 15 minutes and our server never came to our table. A busser was nice enough to give us edamame. We left because the server served two new tables while we sat and waited. They got water AND got to order. We got nothing. Go if you're a couple. Don't go with your kid. You get ignored. Sad bc we loved their food, hence the two stars.

I had only been to the PC in SF but this one is bigger and closer. Yeay! The service was great and there was lots of seating for a Friday evening, but it is nice to know that they take reservations as well. Lots of food choices, but we kept it simple this meal. Peruvian ceviche- too much "kick" for my taste Mixed catch basket- exactly what I was craving and hit the spot for fried seafood. I liked the fish pieces the best. Poke bowl in a roll- fun to say, and to eat! I don't usually eat that much rice so I'd prob just go for the poke bowl without the roll next time I like the ambiance here. Nice yet not too fancy.

First time diner.....will return often. Had the Thai Curry with grilled Mahi Mahi, and wife had Korean bowl with shrimp...fantastic....large protions.....and Bridget, our server, she's a rock star, petite, cute, vivacious, extremely welcoming and efficient...will request her on our next visit. Great place, employees very friendly and accomodating.
I saw all the reviews and was expecting really good food. Disappointed. We ordered the poke which was good, calamari was good too, and the crab ragoon. The entrees were so bland!!! The sushi rolls were worse! Do not get their brownie sundae. I make better brownies and my brownie mix is from Costco.

Samantha B.
I love this place. Two times here so far and I think it is yummy & I'd come back.. I ordered the same thing again - which was the Curry Bowl with fish as a protein. They give you the option of having half veggies & half rice, but I got all veggies. The portion was HUGE.....for $13ish I think but I think its worth it. It is a qwirky cute little restaurant so that's why I like coming here.

Jenni S.
Every time my boyfriend and I come here, I notice that the service get slower and worse than our previous visit. Last night may have been our last visit (which is unfortunate because the food is very delicious). We walked in, and were seated immediately (awesome). We then proceeded to sit at our booth in the nearly empty restaurant for about 10 minutes without being greeted or anything, even though people seated after us were already getting their beverages (not awesome). There were two servers standing by the computer near us, just chatting it up. When the thinner guy walked away to help his customers, the other one decided it was time to do his job as well. And guess what? That one, Gabriel, just so happened to be our server. We already weren't happy with him, seeing as chatting with his coworker was more important than helping his customers, but we tried being friendly. We ordered drinks, the appetizer, and our food all at once, because who would know how often he would come to our table. Our drinks took FOREVER to get to us. The food took awhile too, but I know that could be the cooks' fault. We got our food, ate it, and wasn't checked up on by Gabriel even ONCE. It's like, dude, you're working for tips, you literally have about 3 tables of people in your section, make an effort! If you have the time to stand around with the guy with the chinstrap facial hair multiple times, you have the time to check up on your tables. We waited quite a while after we ate, and we didn't receive our check, so my boyfriend had to ask another server for our check. That server then told Gabriel, then when Gabriel brought us our check, all of a sudden he decided to give us the time of day and be friendly, probably because he wanted a decent tip for doing the absolute minimum, mediocre service job, ever (he got a tip that reflected his service, usually my boyfriend and I are big tippers). Please, Pacific Catch, hire servers that know customer service and are quick! So far, I'm not convinced that any of your staff are good at the job!

This is a quality, reasonably priced restaurant. I have only been here twice... With 3 others both times... Out of all 8 meals, I have yet to hear a complaint. Drinks are expertly crafted, as well- that is refreshing. I order the steak and chicken tacos... I don't really know how to explain them- other than they are some of the best I've had (and I eat a LOT of tacos!).

We did a take out . My shrimp were really small , not allot of taste . Outbacks are better . My husband ordered the fish and chips , they asked do you want the spicey sweet potato fries or regular and he said well regular not knowing how spicey they might be ..... well he got regular fries ! No sweet potato . My freind got the sticky ribs , I could see she was not that thrilled but she did say she got allot of food . So all in all I would not hurry back , oh and when I went to eat in a year ago I loved the sesame cold slaw but this time it did not have much taste .

I was already sold by the complimentary sparkling water, and the edamame and goldfish starting treat. This place has a great ambiance and servers are respectful and well attentive. Hawaiian Poke Rice bowl with crab salad with brown rice and veggies - A+. delicious. very light tasting, and tastes very healthy yet flavorfull. Highly recommended. they give you a huge portion with every bowl that's enough for me to eat, be full, and take home some. Korean BBQ Rice bowl with brown rice and veggies - A+ - the korean bbq was cooked very well and tasted better than most korean restaurants in my opinion. Very reasonably priced too!

Love having this place nearby! I was skeptical at first because it's a chain, and Pruneyard chain restaurants are usually a bummer. But this place has a great relaxed feel, comfortable bar, yummy drinks, and I'm loving their menu! I've never actually sat in the dining room (the wait can be pretty terrible, I've seen), but the bar area is perfect for friends or a couple for dinner, apps, or even just drinks. Walk right in, snag a seat at the bar, a table, or booth, and you're good to go. Great cocktail selection, TV viewing from anywhere in the bar, variety of beers on tap, and they even give you little complimentary bar snacks to nibble on! (Who does that anymore?! Love it.) The menu has an awesome selection for a group, or just the indecisive mind. Fish tacos, sushi, rice bowls, burgers, grilled fish. I always see something I want, and am pleased with whatever I get. Staff is super accommodating too. Nice addition to the Pruneyard overall! Thanks, Pacific Catch.

Excellent shrimp tacos and the sweet potato fries are addicting! This place is perfect for someone who likes seafood..........the drinks are great, too. It was loud in restaurant, but only because of a big party having a terrific time together. Definitely consider making reservations when you go as it fills up quickly!

If I could give this establishment a negative star I would. I saw the yelp reviews and decided to stop in just now to have dinner with my 4 year old daughter. We walk in and wait to be seated. As we are standing there for a few minutes I notice two other ladies walk in. The door doesn't even have a chance to shut behind them before the general manager Jerry (not sure about spelling) walks up, greets them and seats them. He doesn't even come back to see if we have been helped. I'm not big about racism and I always give people the benefit of the doubt , however I felt discriminated against and utterly embarrassed. I'm 100% positive had I not had my daughter and/or had a different skin tone I would have been treated differently. I did take the time to ask to speak to Jerry before I left and told him how I felt. I didn't raise my voice or cause a scene but he sure escorted me outside to speak to him as to not allow others to overhear us. I'm so disgusted. Never ever in my life have I been treated so poorly! Shame on you Pacific Catch.

Just ate here and was really pleased with the experience. Have been driving past the (new) Campbell location for 18 months now, and finally decided to give it a try (it is Good Friday, after all). Walked in on a Friday afternoon and was seated right away. The inside of the restaurant has a nice modern-yet-warm, Bradley Odgen-eque look to it, with a spacious bar in the back and an open kitchen to the left. We opted to sit in the enclosed patio, with was very comfortable - complete with a lovely wall fountain at one end. There is also an all-outside patio, but it does face a parking lot - although you can't ding the restaurant for this tiny location defect. The menu obviously has Hawaiian roots - meaning lots of fish with the unique flavors of the Islands including sesame-soy sauces, ginger, kicks of chili and fresh herbs. The website says the Paia Fish Market in Maui was its inspiration, and that shows. We're fans of Hawaii and its local food, so finding Pacific Catch is a treat. We ordered two sparkling lemonades - which were delightfully refreshing thanks to a recipe that goes easy on the sugar. More tart than sweet. Lovely. We split the Poke trio, opting for the traditional ahi version, the salmon Lomi-Lomi and the unusual spicy calamari - all were fresh, well-seasoned and bright - with proportions for either a shared starter or as a single entree. We then shared the seared ahi salad with a peanut-sesame - soy dressing. The greens were fresh, the fish was cooked well. There was a great balance of ginger, daikon radish and avocado. Lovely and again - perfectly sized for sharing or as a stand-alone lunch. Looking around I saw people enjoying sizable portions of ceviche, fish tacos and spare ribs. The table next to us actually said theirs was the best fish taco they had ever eaten. Both our host and server were courteous, attentive and friendly - and even though we are familiar with this type of food, each took the time to make sure we knew what we were ordering. Our waitress even advised against one dish in favor of another - which I always appreciate. They should know - they eat and serve the food day in and day out, right...? All said a really nice, comfortable, more upscale-than-I-imagined-it-would-be lunch. We're excited to finally have visited, and will most definitely return. Thanks for a lovely lunch and a quick (plane-less) trip back to Maui!

Our first visit to Pacific Catch will not be our last! We started with the Pacific Catch Poke Trio. We got the Original, California Style and Lomi Lomi and loved them all. It was the first time we'd tried Poke and glad we got it here. It was fantastic and can't wait to have it again. For dinner, we got a special of fresh fish that was incredible and a teriyaki bowl with Mahi Mahi. I was a bit disappointed at the bowl so I wouldn't get it again. I was given a giant bowl that was filled with sticky rice and then topped with a tiny piece of fish and the accompaniments (pineapple, edamame, mushrooms, carrots, onions, etc.). I was good, don't get me wrong. The flavors were great and the fish cooked perfectly but it was such a small piece of fish that it didn't make sense. The fish should be the star of the dish, not the accompaniments. My partner's entree was more like it. A large piece of fish was the center of the dish. Just beware if you get the bowl that it's more about the items in the bowl and not the seafood. For dessert we got a Mochi ball (chocolate) and a Fried Dulche de Leche spring roll. We'd pass on the Mochi ball next time and share the spring rolls which were incredible.

Came here in march for a family members Birthday. I was impressed. The menu has a huge variety of different types of seafood. Which is ALWAYS a plus. The place was very clean and well decorated. I loved the atmosphere. They even had a pretty good happy hour. =) I had to order the calamari when I saw it on the menu.It even came with a special Cajun sauce which was absolutely delicious! I ended up getting the fish tacos. SO GOOD!!! It's nice, because you can mix and match the different types of meat. I got 1 mah-i mahi, shrimp, and chicken taco.They definitely are very generous with the food. Huge portions. I couldn't even eat all 3 tacos. The seasoned fries are delicious! I also loved that they have a lot of dipping sauces. I am known in my family as "sauce queen." I definitely want to come here again and get the salmon bowl. My aunt got it & it looked AMAZING! If you like seafood I highly recommend it. =) I had to knock it off a star because parking is absolutely ridiculous there! They have an entire empty lot on the side of the restaurant, but it was only allowed for people who stayed at a hotel next door. Lameeee.

I really love this place. It's consistent, the portions are great, and the food is phenomenal. I have tried almost all of their Pokes and it's hard to choose just one (which is why we always do the Trio)! However, if I were to narrow it down to three, you can't go wrong with the Traditional Ahi, Lomi Lomi, or the California Style. My other go-to has to be their bowls. As other folks have mentioned, they are HUGE and I can never finish mine! I typically get them with 1/2 salad greens, 1/2 brown rice and take my leftovers home. :) Service is good, they take reservations on Open Table, and the food is clean and healthy, but still tastes great! I'd definitely recommend this place!

Came back at Easter and i was shocked! the new Poki combo menu was the bomb! I also had a side of skirt steak for $6.99 and that too was perfecto! It was really crowded and loud,I loved it! A friend from church said he was going there so I decided on a spur after church to go as well with my guest. The sweet potato fries and dip*** yum.....Really! The new concept menu was a great improvement! The rice bowl fish dish my wife had was excellent as well! What a total improvement over when this place opened! I WENT BACK ON THURSDAY FOR THE $10 ANNIVERSARY THREE POKI COMBO ON SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO DO IT! i'D WASH DISHES FOR FOOD!....Even the tarter sauce i usually hate was the bomb here! SO GO FOLKS! I will go back again soon!

I was craving for some seafood one night so i went on Yelp (of course) and looked for a place that i can have dinner out of Fremont. Since this place have consistent 4 star reviews, I decided to check it out. The place was packed but I was seated right away (plus point). Started off with the pacific regional soup. This soup has loads of crab meat in it! Super yummy! yelp.com/user_local_phot… and the Pacific Ceviche Trio for appetizer yelp.com/user_local_phot… . Amongst the three, the Shrimp Baja is the only one that I enjoyed. The Hawaiian Poke (tasteless) and the Peruvian Ceviche are just meh. Nothing to rave about really. I had to ask for Wasabi and soy sauce for me to like that Poke. Then came The Rice bowl orders. Korean BBQ with Sticky Ribs yelp.com/user_local_phot… and Japanese Wasabi with Salmon yelp.com/user_local_phot… $14.50 for each rice bowl. You can have it with white or brown rice or half and half. Nothing special in these dishes. I am not a picky person but the whole dinner was a total flop! I had way better Salmon and Ribs elsewhere. From the food that we ordered, it's only the soup that is so worth talking about. Service was bad. Our server was MIA the whole time. No silverwares or napkins on the table even after when the food was served already. Seriously? For everything = $60.00

You will have a better experience if you make a reservation. Why I'm a fan.. -Guilt-free options: Salad bowl or brown rice bowl with your choice of protein (ahi, shrimp, kbbq beef, chicken, salmon..) -Friendly servers -Patio Seating -Bar with TVs

So happy there's a Pacific Catch here in the South Bay! Now I can get my Hawaiian poke bowl fix! The poke bowl with brown rice was delicious as usual, however, the poke seemed saltier than the one in SF. Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered my takeout and it was ready in 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place. I've been about three or four times and have received good service and great food every time. I usually get the mixed catch basket because I love seafood, and it tastes extremely fresh. I also liked topping off my meal with Mochi for dessert. The Baja shrimp ceviche is a must as well!

Wait can be long if you don't have a reservation. Great 'date night' atmosphere in the evenings; not so child friendly (don't bring a stroller or a crying baby or you will get the eye daggers) great food; portion is moderate; healthy and hearty options are still very tasty. Sushi is also quite good. So glad Pruneyard has a semi upscale place to go to now!

I was looking for something quick nearby, and I wasn't really expecting much. Luckily, I made a good bet with Pacific Catch. The food and service were great, and I was able to walk in/out with no problem. The hostess, Taylor, took my take-out order over the phone and rung me up in-store. I ordered Fish N' Chips with regular fries and coleslaw, $10.90 with tax. This was the perfect size for me, because I don't usually eat a lot at once. The fish was delicious! I bit into the fried crust to find a fresh, flaky, white interior. It didn't feel greasy or overcooked, which is a common problem with fried fish. The fries and tartar sauce were standard, but good, and the coleslaw was balanced well. For a quick and unexpected eat, this place made me fan. I didn't sit down inside, but the interior looked nice. It's tucked at the end of the Pruneyard in between Marshall's and the hotel. I want to come back for a sit-down meal someday. This is a great addition to the Campbell and the Pruneyard.

This place is as consistent as it gets. I've been here, and to their other locations in SF dozens of times and have yet to have even one issue. It's well managed, the food is fantastic and reasonable. Excellent beer options (Thank you for having IPA's) The service is best in category and they also have a great happy hour Mon-Fri 3-6 (I think).

Got the Ahi salad. Great choice for the hot weather. It was good, but nothing to write home about. The real problem is that the salad as drenched in wasabi dressing. It wasn't the spiciness that was annoying, but that it just seemed too wet.

This place is fantastic. Everything I've tried, I've loved and would order again. The atmosphere is super cool too. I would advise making a reservation, because the wait can be a bit long, but you can always stroll around The Pruneyard while you wait. The food is all really fresh and flavorful. I'm pretty much obsessed with their sushi. They have a nice looking bar with TV's that play whatever sporting event is going on.The price is super reasonable, especially considering the generous portions and quality of the food.

We had dinner here with a friend last Friday night, and were all unhappy and totally disappointed with our meals. For starters, we had made a reservation, and the hostess forgot about us after we checked in. The manager noticed, apologized and offered to get us a free appetizer. We chose the ceviche trio. The shrimp ceviche was fine, the poke was flavorless, but the Peruvian ceviche was pretty good. I liked the avocado mixed with the spiciness. I had the ahi sandwich, and as much as I hated to, I promptly sent it back. It was supposed to have wasabi aioli on it, and it was DRENCHED in it. The waitress was very nice about it, and I got a new sandwich with the aioli on the side. I was hoping it would be similar to the ahi burger at the Counter, unfortunately it wasn't. The tuna had some sinewy pieces in it, and was totally bland and flavorless. I have a feeling the slices of ahi are defrosted and seared off earlier in the night, (since the ahi in the other menu items all look identical.) Our friend had the shrimp tacos, and some of the shrimp weren't cooked properly. My guy and our friend had also ordered the spicy fries which were cold and limp. They both sent them back and received fresh ones, but they still weren't good. My sweet potato fries may have been the best thing on our three dishes. We all had drinks, which were fine. Although, our server incorrectly named what their well vodka was.... When we got our check, my meal had been comped. This wasn't necessary, but we appreciated it. This place was packed, so obviously other people are liking it. The Pruneyard needed some new restaurants, but this was a big loser for all three of us. I had expected clean, fresh flavors, and what we got was over processed, overly salty (so much so my rings were tight until the next afternoon) chain restaurant like food.

Food is good! I've tried the Vietnamese Beef Sandwich, and the Cabo Shrimp Tacos - both are delicious! Only complaint is the service. Went on a Sunday night, and the waitress was not very attentive and the service was very slow.

Love the Korean style rice bowl! Very tasty, lots of unique ingredients and the meat is delicious. I also got a side salad that was giant and very good. I tried my bf's tacos and was surprised at how good they were too. They have a gluten free menu, which was very helpful for a couple at our table. We also had a special request bc of dietary needs. The head chef came out to let us know he would help us out. Very cool! I felt that they went above and beyond in service and with the food. There's also a nice bar I plan to go back to. I like the decor with the blue bottles hanging as light fixtures. Nice place!

Overall 3.5 stars I had to give this place a couple of tries before I wrote a review. The first time I went, it just opened, so I knew there would be a couple of kinks to work out. For example, it took 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and then another 30 minutes for our next round to show up. I knew we should have ordered our second round the minute our first arrived. The good part, the manager was very apologetic, and explained the situation. I really was impressed he came out to talk to us. Very good customer service if you ask me. I love the decor, the ambiance, and so far all the dishes I have tried I really enjoyed. Sushi is good, (Shiso Fine!) tacos are yummy, (Mahi-Mahi!) and the Hawaiian Poke with the chips are really good. they even have a gluten free section, which was good since my aunt is gluten free, and had no idea until we were looking at the menu. I have been here with family and friends, and I REALLY want to LOVE this place, but they are still not there. When I order water for all of us at the table, is it really difficult to get us all a glass for that water? When we order drinks, can we have the drinks BEFORE our dinner, and not when we are finished? I'm just sayin. It's getting better, and I do like it here ... I just want to love it here.

Awesome food and service! Went here for an anniversary and the waiter was wonderful and helpful for our first time, came back a second time because we couldn't resist. The Ahi Tuna is so amazing I have gotten it twice our food came out fast and was cooked to perfection. Will be coming back again!

The food was good, setting was so-so. They really tried to update the interior, but the building is so old there's only so much that can be done. It's slightly loud, and I don't like Formica tables for dinner. They could easily fix this with tablecloths. We split a Mahi Mahi taco and the salad w/ Salmon. Both very good. Convenient location. Friendly staff.

Just the right portion size. The kids enjoyed their chicken teriyaki and fish & chips. Husband had the ahi tuna salad; he enjoyed the variety in his salad. I had the coconut shrimp and salad. Shrimp was a little over cooked, but the salad was delicious. You also have a choice of regular water or sparkling water, no extra charge.

You can go here and just eat the appetizers for dinner, it's that good. The Hawaiin poke is awesome! 5 stars for the food, 4 stars overall because the wait can be long, this place gets packed at dinner time.

Sadly, I don't share the enthusiasm that my fellow Yelpers feel over Pacific Catch. I've been so excited about trying this PC ever since I saw them open up a location in the Pruneyard. We came in for a late lunch and were totally unprepared for the lunch menu prices. $15 for three tacos! $15 for a rice bowl! If I hadn't already ordered drinks, I would've walked out. Instead, I stayed and gave PC a try. I had the grilled salmon sandwich and my BF had the sushi grade ahi tuna salad. The waitress asked him if he wanted to substitute it the tuna for the Hawaiian poke instead. My BF thought about this for a second because he loves Hawaiian poke also, but the waitress asked him "You DO know what Hawaiian poke is, right?" At which point my BF turned to her and said, "Yes, I know what that is. I was just thinking about it. Just give me the tuna." My BF seldom gets upset with anyone, but he was clearly annoyed. NOT a good way to start the meal. We started with the California Roll, which is always a good indicator of how good a place is. While I liked it, my BF said it needed it was too bland and needed wasabi. My sandwich came and it was also bland. They offered several different sauces to try it with and I finally settled in the lemon and garlic aioli. For $12, you'd think that the sandwich wouldn't need any fancy accouterments. The ahi tuna salad was a good size with an ample amount of tuna. However, there wasn't anything special or wonderful about it. We've tasted better ahi tuna salads before. To be fair, I returned with a friend, just to see if maybe it was an off day for them. We came during the lunch rush and I ordered the California Roll and the ceviche trio. I really loved all the yummy fresh fish and shrimp, but once again was very underwhelmed by the value. My friend had the grilled salmon salad. Both times I went, I paid about $50 for lunch, which I personally feel is way too much for lunch for two. Yes, I know its seafood, but I should at least feel good about my meal instead of feeling gypped.

We've been coming here for years. Its my go-to for date nights. I love it! Sushi rolls are top notch; daily specials are always interesting and delicious; regular menu items are solid and reasonably priced.

Good spot for a chain, the calamari with the aoili dip is fantastic. The tall bartender with the beard is fun to watch. All in all nice atmosphere. Like the bamboo stools too.

There are some positives and there are some negatives. positives: great drinks, 1/2 off bottles of wine for Tuesday happy hour, ahi poke salad, and the dulce de leche spring rolls negatives: everything else. Service is slow and the rest of the food is mediocre. They try to do some different and exotic variations but it falls flat. If you're sitting outside, good luck getting out of there in less than 2 hours as the waiters and waitresses seem to forget you're out there. I usually come here for lunch because it is right down the street from where I work so this has caused some problems for me. Now I just make sure to sit inside whenever I go.

The being said it reasonably priced the air conditioning is kickin and I can't say much more cause I have ventured into any other place on the menu. Check em out.

3 1/2 stars. The food is very fresh and the service was pretty good. I've ate here twice and this is my tip for you. If you're expecting this place to be like Red Lobster or The Fish Market, then you'll be disappointed. This place is like an Asian fusion type of place and not like a traditional seafood eatery. Prices are also descent for the amount of food you get. My only complaint is that to me, they're trying to do too much with the food. Their are a lot of different flavors that get mixed together in the bowl and create a bit of confusion as to what you're actually tasting. Keep it simple and it should be a lot better.

Came here for the first time with my girlfriend. The atmosphere of the place is amazing. Great combination of sophistication and relaxation, excellent for every occasion. Fried calamari appetizer is phenomenal, we're going to start frying lemons in our dishes at home now too! Sushi and Mahi Mahi tacos for entrees love it all!

Came here for Happy Hour after a movie and really enjoyed this place. The bartender was great, she made excellent drinks and was very quick. Beer specials were good for $3.50. Well gin martini was $6.00. The Peruvian ceviche was tasty. The calamari gets better each time I order it. These were from the HH menu at $6.00 each. From the regular menu we each tried different Bowls with half rice and greens. By far the Korean steak bowl was the best. I tried the teriyaki salmon bowl, it was good but not as good as the Korean one. So for HH...great drink prices and good service. I will be back.

I do like how they have various specials at different times, but at the end of the day, the food is decent, but not very flavorful. The sweet potato fries is really good though. On weekends, make reservations or be prepared to wait for a while.

We decided to go for seafood last night, and I particularly wanted something healthy. I remembered that this place opened up in the Pruneyard. Because of its name, I was expecting a traditional seafood restaurant: grilled or baked fish, some vegetables, and a starch. When I entered, the first thing I noticed was that it smelled like sushi. Then, as I walked in, I saw a small sushi bar. So, I thought that it was a regular fish restaurant with a sushi bar. After we were seated, my boyfriend looked at the menu and remarked, "this place doesn't have any regular entrees." It did, but they were on the specials menu. The restaurant has an interesting twist: it combines Pacific fish with flavors from cultures around the Pacific. So, I had a wasabi rice bowl with hoke, a Hawaiian fish. He had a rice bowl with Thai curry sauce. We had a choice of white or brown rice and a choice to have either two cups of rice or one cup of rice and a cup of lettuce. I went healthy and had brown rice with a cup of lettuce. Never has healthy food tasted so good! I kept remarking, "I want to come here again!" We definitely will!

Took my girlfriend here for a date night and it did not disappoint! From the atmosphere to the drinks, my girlfriend was impressed with my pick! Drinks were good, limited selection of beer but all are soo good. Our superstar was their manager Mike who was checking on everyone, friendly, and got a new sandwich when the one was a little too spicy as well as another glass of wine. Great place, great drinks, great food, we will be back for sure

Greasy fish and cold fries, but at least I got the opportunity to pay a lot for it... The wait staff was doing me favor by serving me and the whole experience was blah. This place does have potential, but I'll never find out.

Hawaiian Poke bowl-Enough Said. HUGE portions, fresh fish, great sauce and decent price. You can't go wrong. This location looks fancier than the SF location which I liked better. You have the option of asking for white rice or brown and half rice and half greens. The server messed up on my order and ended up giving me all rice. After some clarification, our waiter brought me a bowl of salad so I ended up getting more food than anticipated. We came on a Saturday night with no reservations and only waited 15 minutes.

First of all let me just say that it is refreshing to see an updated, modern restaurant space joining the Pruneyard plaza. Perfect spot for dates, small gatherings, and Happy Hour -- which are M-F 4-6PM. For those that aren't aware Pacific Catch is basically an American/Asian/Mexican fusion for the most part -- sounds complicated but try to think of it as a combination of good picks from each cuisine. Very California if you ask me. They had everything from curry/rice bowls, fish tacos, sweet potato fries, and even tom kha soup. All in all I'd have to say I was pretty satisfied with the food we got: - Spicy Fries - Peruvian Ceviche [w/ nice chunks of fish] - Shiso Fine roll - Seafood sampler [?] - Salmon Rice Bowl - Fish Tacos The prices are fair given the area, I'd say stay clear of food items you'd see elsewhere for cheaper [rice bowls / fish tacos / etc.] and go for the real entrees -- I mean that's what they're there for. We made reservations on a Friday night and were actually seated 15mins prior to the actual time allotted. Definitely will try to come back to try some of the specials and see how their seafood will fare.

Meh. Went here for lunch based on all the great reviews here on Yelp. No good. Only positive was the server was very friendly. The food though was not good at all. The water brought to the table had lil floaties of who knows what in the glasses. Diet coke was flat. I had the wasabi rice bowl with the tuna poke, the tuna was neither fresh nor properly cut. Frankly just awful. Kid had the mahi tacos, she liked them but I thought the fish tacos at Baja Fresh are much better. Definitely not coming back.

After reading the overall 4 star reviews from elites and others, I was excited I got a reservation here to celebrate a special occasion with the family. However, I was pretty disappointed at the quality of the food! Pros - Ambiance is modern and tropical - lost of wood everywhere - Attentive and helpful staff - Seated me right away though I was late to my reservations by 20 minutes Cons - The edamame everyones talking about - comes in a tiny, tiny sauce dish. You know the ones you get at pho? So you get complimentary sauce dish of edamame and goldfish pretzels. Yummy and free, but tiny! I asked for another serving. - Poki tasting platter is pricey (for what they give you) and just OK. I've been to Hawaii, had it on the cheap and it was super delicious - so maybe my expectations were too high (?). - The sushi roll I ordered was horrible - just WAY to americanized. I don't think they even seasoned the rice to make it sushi rice. Conclusion - Unless it is for a working lunch meeting, I will not return. Sorry, Pacific Catch - you're just not the catch for me!

Service was a bit slow after we were seated. I recommend setting a reservation on the weekends, because they get pretty packed. Aside from the service the food was DELICIOUS. I got the Korean BBQ rice bowl with marinated steak, the meat was medium rare, nice and tender. The sushi is nice and fresh, and surprisingly good for not being a Japanese restaurant.' I would recommend this to anyone looking for some good seafood and dessert.

I have yet to have a bad experience here. The fish is always fresh and the drinks are always what I need. My must orders are always a Peruvian Ceviche and a zingy Dark and Stormy. The ginger beer they use is delicious! I've tried their various specials as well as Tuna wasabi bowl. I don't really consider this place a sushi restaurant, so I've never delved into that section of the menu. The fish here is always fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The drink menu always seems to be inventive and fun. If it's warm out I suggest their lemongrass bloody mary. I could make a meal out of those alone. The staff here is kind of iffy sometimes. I've had very pleasant experiences, but periodically someone will just seem a little bit off or the hostess has a smidge too much attitude upon answering questions. The wait can be kind of nutty some nights, so plan ahead or getting there early. Parking in the Pruneyard is less than ideal, but life goes on. Good stuff!

I love this place! Service is always great and food is always good! My favorite is the Hawaiian BBQ salmon bowl ugh!!! And they had a dessert special today it was an upside down pineapple cake with Vanilla bean Ice cream scoop and pineapple sauce drizzled on top! Delicious and satisfying! This is on the top of our five favorite restaurants for our date nights! My boyfriend and I left with Happy Tummies thanks La Shae for being our wonderful server today! :)

Terrible terrible terrible. I ordered the ahi tuna salad and its texture was like a used tire. The nerve to still serve it to me! I also had the teriyaki steak rice bowl which was mostly rice this would of been fine if I ordered Teriyaki RICE, but I ordered STEAK. Save your money and find a gf who can wine and "dine" you.

This place is great! They get pretty busy, but the food and the atmosphere make it worth it. I've been here a few times now, and I LOVE their salmon bbq sandwich and their chicken and shrimp tortilla soup. Normally shrimp is chewy or rubbery in soup, but these shrimp were PERFECT and made a fantastic twist on a classic dish. I also really like that you can get sparkling water here for free with your meal! This place is definitely one of my new favorite places.

I'm adding my voice here mainly because our waiter, Zack, was fantastic. We each ordered an appetizer, each had the soup special, I had a salad, and my husband had a main dish. Zack confirmed how we wanted these delivered and then managed it spot-on. You don't often find good course management any more (I've had really poor course management at really $$$$ places). Our drinks also arrived with perfect timing. I love it when great service adds to a great meal - thanks Zack! On to the food -- we ended up here because my husband was craving poke -- and he was not disappointed with what was served with his Pacific Ceviche Trio. Maybe not the best he ever had but satisfied his craving. We shared that and also the Glazed Crab Dumplings from the Crab Fest menu. Both very good -- very generous with the crab. We each had the Dungeness Crab & Corn Chowder -- again very good -- complex and developed flavors with just a little kick, and again generous with the crab. I had the Crab Louie Salad mainly because I wanted more crab and didn't want a full entree. This was a nice salad -- dressing evenly distributed, huge serving of crab, split mini cherry tomato's, avocado, radish, hard boiled egg. Really nice. He had the Pan Roasted Petrale Sole with Dungeness Crab -- nice dish and we both liked the preparation of the Sole. I had the Rosemary Alaea (Distillery 209 gin, rosemary syrup, fresh grapefruit & lime, Hawaiian Alaea sea salt) cocktail special -- I'd go back again just for this! All in all a nice date night.

4 stars! This place has a lot of healthy options, including giant delicious salads (the veggie special is my favorite). Make sure and try one of the Poke appetizers - they are fantastic! The service is always great, although I would recommend reservations. Wait times can be rough, especially on the weekends.

Our first visit and yum! The food and drinks were delicious and their menu is extensive. The service was perfect. Try the Pacific Trio Ceviche, Spicy Tuna & Ecstasy Rolls, and the Mixed Catch Basket. Margaritas & Bloody Mary's excellent. You can't go wrong here.

Food: Very favorful! My friend took us out for dinner and highly recommended the place. I got a curry bowl and it came out a bit cold.. It tasted good, but you can't serve cold curry! Other than that, the food came out well. I ordered the clam chowder bread bowl and CA sushi roll. Sushi wasn't good because it tasted extremely pasty. Other than that, the rest of the dishes were fantastic. (4/5 stars) Service: RIDICULOUS. We had a waitress that didn't take us seriously because we came in casual clothes, so she didn't attend to us like she did with the other customers. We were seated outside and the table across from us looked like a business group going out for dinner. They were dressed in professional attire while my friends and I were dressed in regular, casual clothes. The waitress came back with water every ten minutes for them and served them really well. She ran back and forth to attend to their every need, but somehow neglected our table throughout the entire night. She refilled our waters ONCE. We waited over an hour to get her attention to get the bill, and after she brought back the bill half an hour later, she asked us if we wanted dessert. Are you kidding me?? We wanted dessert two hours ago, but because you neglected us, we didn't want to wait another hour for a simple ice cream to come out. I would have been more understanding if it was extremely crowded, but the fact that she provided great customer service to the table across from us on a not-so-busy night makes me not want to come back ever again. Btw, my friend paid for our dinner that night. He was willing to leave a big tip, aka at least 20%. Don't judge a book by it's cover, jerk. (0/5)

Cool ambiance, super-fresh ingredients and creative menu. This place is a keeper. Wish we had more SF-esque restaurants like this in our neck of the woods. Food was very tasty. Their Asian-fusion offerings are a lovely change of pace from having to decide on one particular Asian cuisine. They play very well with the Asian seafood theme and some of their dishes were really inspired. Service was OK -- fast and friendly and all that but so "conditioned" -- hate feeling like I'm talking to a robot. It's a bit on the pricey side but for the ambiance, freshness and the creativity, it's worth every penny.

Excellent, friendly service, A++ for ambience and the Food is AMAZING. The Dulce de leche eggrolls are sex in the mouth. I promise you wont regret it. The salads are my favorite because the ingredients are really fresh and lets be honest, salads are done wrong so often, but this is not one of those instances. So lucky to have such a delicious, quality based restaurant so local.

Well, this was the first time here and I have mixed feelings about this place. Here's what happened..... It was lunch time Wednesday around 12:45. It was raining so we didn't think it would be very busy. When we walked in, the host greeted us with, "Do you have reservations"? Unfortunately we did not, but there were tables, so I didn't get why this was so important.... Someone in our party asked for a booth and the host looked at him as if he just said some kind of ridiculous joke. Then we waited, standing, for eight to ten minutes for our table. Our server came quickly to the table and started with..."We are so busy, can I get you something to drink?" We ordered drinks and they came quickly then we ordered food. The Asian fusion menu had a good variety and it was easy to pick from. They have a Gluten free section to choose from too, which I thought was excellent for those on a gluten free diet. The ambiance was modern, calming and nice - I liked this a lot! We got our food and it was fresh and pretty good. I got the Chipole Chicken Salad. The chicken was bland, no heat from the chilies, but the rest was good. The salad was dressed properly, the avocado was perfect and combo of flavors was good. The server came over to check on us, asked me how the meal was and then proceeded to answer on my behalf. Definitely made me feel like they neither cared about my answer nor did they want to hear any feedback whatsoever, so I'm writing this instead! Overall, the food was pretty good and I liked the ambiance and menu, but the service made me feel a bit unwelcome. 3.5 stars

Amazing restaurant! I was impressed within just a few minutes after walking in. Got seated on a Sat. night right away w/o reservations even though it looked like a full house.

Overall a good time here. Our server, Elisabeth, was friendly and attentive (Mother's Day). The place is very clean and felt comfortable eating in the semi outdoor table. This place was recommended by a friend and overall reviews here on Yelp were favorable, so I thought this would be a treat for Mother's Day. Hawaiian Poke: good and authentic. As always, people want bigger portions but the taste was spot on, a little heat and lots of flavor. My brother inlaw is Hawaiian and I love Poke so it was right on. Fresh catch of the day: Opah. I called it Oprah (bet Elisabeth has heard that a million times before. Folks at the table thought it was good. The fried coconut triangles were good also. Tacos: Steak, Baja and shrimp. All had good flavor. the tortillas were quite thin and worried me they would tear. Maybe 2 corn tortillas per taco would be a better choice. The 3 kids that came with us had chicken strips, fish and chips and coconut shrimp. All were happy and had no complaints. My wife ordered a shrimp taco but was given the Baja. Elisabeth quickly fixed this situation. I'm happy for the fast response. As mentioned in the beginning, overall a good time. Would go back again to try other items on the menu.

I love coming here on Saturdays for lunch, not too crowded and the eating area in the Indoor/Outdoor Area is awesome. I always get the rib bowl and sometimes order the steak and shrimp as an add-on. It's simply delicious. The sweet fries are also delicious, The salmon sandwich isn't bad either. They may be understaffed right now but I mostly pick up my food so it hardly affects me. 4 stars just because I forgot to bring my "free edamame" coupon while picking up my food one day and the hostess argued with me a little bit. The manager okayed it eventually. *With every order for pickup they include free edamame cards for your next visit- don't forget to bring it!

We went on Friday evening about 6:00, were checked in promptly and pleasantly, and had just a very short wait. The decor was sharp and creative and the atmosphere bright and active but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't enjoy our conversation.Our waiter, Zach, was delightful and attentive. The Calamari appetizer was okay but more rubbery than Calamari should be when cooked properly. I ordered the Teriyaki bowl and took Zach's suggestion for 1/2 greens and 1/2 brown rice. My dish was attractively presented and delicious. I was a bit nervous about trying Pacific Catch because of the wide range of reviews. I'm glad that we went and would definitely go back. It's nice to have this restaurant option in the area. If you're there when Zach's working, I highly recommend sitting in his section.

I was not impressed. I've passed by this restaurant many times and decided to try because I was staying at the Double Tree. Went on a Saturday night nearly 9:00pm. No wait for two. Server wasn't too attentive, some things took longer than expected. There was one loud party while we were there. Original Poke (single) -- didn't seem fresh Shrimp Tempura Roll -- decent, didn't finish; cold shrimp 3-Taco Platter (chicken, shrimp steak) -- larger than normal Mexican tacos; steak undercooked Sole w/ crab mashed potatoes, broccolini -- lacked flavor, big portion Wouldn't return.

I was very surprised by my visit here! I went around 730pm on a Friday night, and there was a little wait. But I went to Marshalls next door and killed time. I got the thai curry rice bowl with satay shrimp. Omg it was so flavorful! They give the option of white rice, brown rice, or 1/2 brown rice 1/2 veggies. I got the half half, and I loved it. They put just enough sauce so that you can taste it in every bite without overpowering it. The shrimp was grilled to perfection. The brown rice was cooked just right. Everything complimented each other well. Its a bit pricey, but the portion was huge. I ate half, and saved the other half for lunch the next day. I tried my friend's korean barbecue rice bowl with marinated skirt steak. The meat was grilled perfectly, moist & flavorful. Omg just talking about it makes me crave it!! I was not a fan of brown rice sushi. I tried the Firecracker Salmon (tempura salmon, avocado, cucumber, daikon sprouts & shallots with srircha aioli). The salmon was dry, the sprouts did nothing for me. I really liked the srircha aioli, I wanted to lick it off the plate! Service was great, our waitress always refilled our water, and checked on us frequently. I will definitely be back soon!!

The decor is dimly lit, perfect for a date. Tuesday's are packed due to their 50% off wine special which basically knocks off the restaurant mark up for alcohol. It's located right next to a Marshall's in case you're not familiar with the area (I drove passed it since the sign doesn't stand out). I ordered the Japanese Wasabi pan-asian rice bowl with brown rice, hawaiian poke, and seared ahi. The rice bowl has daikon, cucumbers, shredded nori (seaweed) to give the dish some refreshing vegetables. The wasabi was enough to clear my sinuses (I was sick that day). The seared ahi was cooked to perfection salivating my mouth the entire time. I don't remember the hawaiian poke that much so I guess it was only mediocre. For those of you who are curious, it's basically a cube of sashimi fish which I think is tuna. I finished the entire dish but a normal regular person would only eat about 1/2 to 3/4 of the dish. If you decide to get appetizers, you'll have something to eat the next day for lunch!

Been to both the SF 9th Ave and this Campbell one and both were equally impressive. The Ahi Poke and the ice cream mochi were most memorable.

I like Pacific Catch. I've ate here a few times and have always been happy with the freshness and quality of my food. Atmosphere: The area is open and spacious. The noise level isn't too loud, so you can have a conversation with the people at your table. Has a beach/tropical/Hawaiian type feel to the decor. Food: the food is fresh, seasoned well, and has a healthy variety. The perfect place to go to on a hot summer day. The rice bowls are great. It's nice to have a local place that can finally cook brown rice. They have a great selection of sandwiches. I have ordered the ceviche twice and it has came out with the consistency of soup because of the runny avocado. Not good, but not a deal breaker. There is potential. Service: I've never had a problem or complaint with the service here. They have always been attentive and quick to resolve issues. Servers have a tendency to congregate to socialize (my own pet peeve), but it's never caused me to have slow service and my food has always been brought out timely (even when really busy). Good place, not great, for eats with plentiful healthy options. The kind of place you redeem yourself after a night of drunken antics that ended in the shameless consumption of greasy food towards the end.

Service was great. Food was good, but not amazing. I had a rice bowl with half salad/rice and salmon. The sauce was overly sweet. There was a nice mix of veggies/rice/meat ratio. In the end, I would go back if I want seafood - but it's not my first choice.

3.5* Who knew a restaurant this physically appealing is located in the Pruneyard? Nice looking restaurant inside and out. Prices where most entrees seem to be minimum of $12 where most are over $15 minus sandwiches. You get complimentary edamame already peeled yay and pretzel goldfish What I ordered: *Pacific Ceviche trio- not your typical ceviches. 1. Hawaiian poke is too salty for me. When eaten with the wonton chips, I could still just taste the soy sauce marinade.. 2. WINNER- The baja shrimp ceviche was my favorite of all- in a light green avocado colored liquid sat these scrumptious shrimps. To balance the saltiness of the poke, I poured leftover juices of the baja shrimp ceviche onto the poke and chip. Much better with hint of acidity to the saltiness. 3. I didn't really care for the Peruvian ceviche that was yellow in color.. it came with plenty of fish and shrimp but the flavor wasn't memorable or to my liking. *Japanese wasabi rice bowl- I really liked this. Reminded me of chiriyashi Japanese bowl except I didn't have an assortment of raw fish. The veggies, condiments in the bowl were quite similar. I added some soy sauce and was perfectly salted. I like how they have low sodium soy available on the table. I ordered two meats = $18.50 kind of steep but I couldn't finish it all. I finished 3/4 of it but if I didn't have appetizer, I may have been able to dominate it. Meats chosen: grilled salmon and seared ahi. (options for the pan asian bowls are to have half salad, and brown or white rice) *Hawaiian teriyaki rice bowl- ordered by the bf, who claimed it was good, but mind you, he was drunk as I found out during the course of dinner..as he was speaking loudly and couldn't help but gaze at me for periods of time lol. It was his bday and he was at a bar earlier with coworkers.. enough said right? Highlights: *try more on the menu! would reorder Japanese wasabi bowl and definitely the baja shrimp ceviche. Skip poke and Peruvian ceviche.

Been here twice so far, and I like this place. Their guava cocktail is yummy! I've tried the Sampler appetizer that came with Hawaiian poke (sashimi) w/ wonton chips, Peruvian ceviche w/ taro chips, Baja shrimp ceviche w/ chips. To be truthful, I didn't care much for the peruvian ceviche at all. For my entree, I had the Island Tacos and chose the mahi mahi and the steak taco along with sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, my mahi was extremely overcooked and drowning in the green sauce (perhaps to disguise it) but the steak taco was delish! Mmm! Definitely left me licking my fingers afterwards. Hubby had the Salmon Sandwich which he enjoyed. I saw a lot of other dishes I'd love to try, so we'll be back!

You wanna be a yuppie? Than this place is for you. There is really nothing to this place, in short. Walking in and looking at the employees I could tell that this was a wannabe trendy place to eat. First off the best thing about my meal was the Alaskan beer that came in a bottle. The server was slow and not interested in servicing us, and I think this place is only good for drinking at their bar on a weekend, and filled with people desperate to wannabe cool. I ordered the fish and chips on a Tuesday lunch service and it was one of the worst fish and chips I ever had. They didn't have salt on the tables and I requested salt for my meal and the server came back with like a pinch and no shaker. The Cole slaw was the worst I ever had as well. I could go on and on about this place but why bother, people will go and continue to be disappointed. I am one person who won't be fooled twice. Stay away from this joint.

Pretty good. Like fish market but more Asian-y. I ordered the Japanese rice bowl with mahi mahi. I like that you can get brown rice, or half rice and half mixed greens. The sesame ginger dressing was so good, and it was a lot of food; I couldn't even finish. The mochi ice cream fondue for dessert was perfect so you can have a bite or two of something sweet. I want to try the poke menu next time! Glad it's so close by.

Loved this place! Its conveniently located in the Pruneyard and there is a lot of parking in the area. Upon entering, its not overwhelmingly "seafood" (ala Red Lobster) and has a very mixed feel. They've got a bar area if you'd like to catch some games (and happy hour!) and there is outdoor and indoor seating for large groups. My friend made reservations for 730pm for our party of 8. Although we got there a bit late, our table was not quite ready for us yet. We didn't mind waiting, but the manager still offered us some appetizers to speed up the wait (on the house!). Like I said, it was not a necessary gesture, but our group appreciated it! All together, we got: The Pacific Ceviche Trio (a sampling of Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke, and Peruvian ceviche) I loved all three! The Peruvian ceviche was a bit spicy for my (weak) tongue, but the poke and shrimp ceviche were amazing. I espeically loved the citrusy flavors of the shrimp, yum yum! Cabo Calamari (crispy calamari, lemon slices, & red chilies with spicy chipotle aioli) Again, I'm a weakling when it comes to spicy stuff, but the calamari was fantastic with just a bit of a kick. I felt like an idiot though because the sauce was so good (albeit VERY spicy) that I was dipping my calamari in it anyway, and then having to gulp half the bottle of water right after! Thai Coconut shrimp (crispy shrimp with Thai sweet chili sauce) Your typical yummy coconut shrimp. Nicely sized pieces and not overly oily. Sweet Potato Fries (with ginger wasabi aioli & sweet Thai chili sauces) You can't mess with sweet potato fries, and these were fab. Served on newspaper, the sauces were just an added star. Now you'd think I'd be too stuffed to order food after all those amazing appetizers, but I still wanted something. After perusing the menu, I decided on the Korean Barbecue Pan-Asian Rice Bowl with Sticky Ribs. This was huge! It had a mix of rice, veggies, and of course--the sticky ribs. All very flavorful and I could NOT finish it all. The one star deduction was that it wasn't great (unfortunately) the next day for lunch.. and this wouldn't be a big deal, but I read in one of those diet magazine things is that you should always take your meal and split it in half (save the other half for another meal). I guess I could've split with G, but then we wouldn't have been able to sample different things! He also got a Pan-Asian Rice bowl, but the Hawaiian Terriyaki version with steak. G finished it ALL though (fatty :P) so yea. Anyway, other than that, everything was fabulous. Our servers were attentive and kept our water bottles filled... The prices were definitely awesome and I would love to come back again (but maybe order smaller plates).

We haven't tried a bad dish at this place. It is a local chain, but very well done and doesn't feel like a chain.The chefs specials and main fish courses including the dishes on the Crab Fest menu have been our favorites, along with the tacos. We also like the Hawaiian flavored on the menu and the desserts have been delicious. Overall it's one of the best seafood options in the area. Great for a date night. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because the service is decent but not the best we've had. Be sure to make a reservation, and parking can sometimes be an issue on Friday and Saturday.

As someone who works locally near the Pruneyard there is always a lot of options to eat in downtown campbell. Yet I constantly find myself coming back to Pacific Catch for the food and for the occasional specials to the menu. There is almost always a wait though, so try and make a reservation if you can. At lunch they are usually understaffed, everyone is working hard, but it gets packed and sometimes it takes awhile to get your food and drinks out, especially if your sitting near a large party. The service is always very nice though, but busy, and all of the servers are very knowledgeable and are all working hard. Mac, the guy up front, always has the sweetest things to say and always puts a smile on all of our faces and always gets us a good table. I sometimes go get take out at Pacific Catch over some of the other places at the Pruneyard because I know Mac will be there to take my order. Overall the place is really really good. It's not five star dining, but its a step up from casual dining. Prices are very reasonable, parking is awful everywhere at the Pruneyard. Try and go right when they first open or after the lunch rush if possible. It is worth a shot.

The ceviche is the bomb--Full of flavor!! The Mongolian bowl is realky good and The crab melt is amazing. Ambiance is super relaxing and the snacks (edamame and pretzel goldfish) are addicting! !! A must try!

We came here for happy hour to watch the game and it was the perfect spot. We tried Rock Bottom first which is also located in the Pruneyard and it was packed. At Pacific Catch we walked right up to the bar which had TV's lining the back. They serve their full menu at the bar and they also have a happy hour menu until 6. Their happy hour had a selection of $6 apps, $3.50 beers and $5ish cocktails. We tried the coconut shrimp, spicy tuna roll, Peruvian Ceviche and the let's get saucy roll. The lets get saucy roll was my favorite loaded with tempura salmon, albacore and topped with spicy and eel sauce. It had the right amount of kick and a touch of crunch and the flavors blended together nicely. The peruvian ceviche was also very good with their market fish, fresh avocado, tomatoes in a cream sauce served with chips. I will be back for more happy hours here, especially since 3 of us ate and drank to our delight for under $50.

Came here on a Tuesday night with the girlfriend and we will definitely be back. Had the calamari, mixed tacos, and the california roll salad. Every dish was fantastic and seemed perfectly cooked and well flavored. Tuesday is half price wine bottles so a reasonable Napa white was only $19 and a bargain. The patio is a nice touch on cool summer evenings and the noise level was bustling but tolerable. Parking is very difficult but there are enough spots to find something. Seemed to fill up fast but we had reservations and got there early. Total bill for two was $85 after tip.

4.5 stars LOVE IT! We have some ties with the owner (indirectly) and finally had the opportunity to try out this amazing restaurant. The portion is huge and the service here is fast and great! We went in a very big group (20+) and sat outside (heat lamps with insulation provided). 1) Wasabi Bowl (poke+seared ahi, 1/2 brown rice+greens) and it was delicious! 2) Pork rib appetizer- delicious, well seasoned 3) Potato fries- can't go wrong with that! 4) Calamari- they also deep fry the jalapeno 5) Nojito- mojito minus the etoh.- this one was okay- tasted like lime mint 6) Water provided was actually seltzer/bubbling water Overall delicious. I would come back...maybe with my beau next time and hit the pruneyard plaza for some shopping!

Husband ordered mahi mahi and steak tacos. Tasted very bland. The fish was over cooked. I ordered the mixed fish and chips. Came with coconut shrimp, battered-deep fried fish, and fried oysters. The fish was good, the shrimp was ok, and I couldn't even swallow the oyster. I'm not sure why others gave this restaurant high ratings. Maybe we just went on a bad night. But from our experience with the food there, we will never go again. Also, had reservations at 8 pm, didn't get seating until 830. Overpriced for quality of food.

Mmm can't wait to go back already! They just opened after having two successful restaurants in SF. Seafood places besides sushi are far and few in between in SJ, so I'm really excited this is so close to home. Also have never loved asian fusion until now, much better than Roy's in San Diego. Came for dinner... Seafood sampler with Hawaiian Poke (sashimi), Peruvian Ceviche, and Baja Shrimp Ceviche - Poke is scrumptious and fresh, don't think I've ever had fish like that. Perfectly flavored with three different types of chips so it's really fun to mix and match. Pacific Steak & Mahi Mahi tacos w/ sweet potato fries - Best steak tacos, confirmed. Also really thoughtful that it came on a vintage Hawaiian newspaper print (veggie ink)! Japanese Wasabi crab salad bowl - I was afraid of the wasabi but it was not spicy at all, just an "essence" of it. Reminds me of a korean bibimbap and love the seaweed salad and veggies that come with, and healthy too. Dulce de leche spring rolls - I'm not usually a fan of carmel but I was convinced after having this, I think I ate the whole thing myself. Nohito and Agave Lemonade were also really good. Seafood din for two - drinks, appetizer, dishes, and dessert, came out to only $50. Customer service is really friendly and fast. Atmosphere is casual and laid-back but classy, there's also a bar for people who likes the drinks. Five stars!!

We came here for my brother's early birthday dinner and was quite excited after seeing the great reviews. So why only 3 stars? I'm not sure I would come here again, perhaps to give this place another chance. Our waiter, an Asian woman with glasses, at first was attentive and described the dinner options with enthusiasm. We didn't want to order alcoholic drinks after she asked twice -- three in our family are not of legal drinking age and she recommended some pitcher drink that serves 4 people in a party of 5. Believe me, my brother and sister do not like 21...they are still in high school lady! When we weren't ready to order and asked her to come back, it seemed to dampen the mood and the service went down from there. She was slow to refill water and get enough chopsticks for our table. She spoke in a rush and didn't really listen to what we asked about the menu. Getting the check was slow -- we wanted to make it to Philz in time before it closed! Just so slow all around and really dampened the experience. Food-wise the portions were huge and filling. The food was average, nothing super-special but not terrible either. Loved the ingredients and flavors in the Poke bowl, but the poke I had in Hawaii was much fresher. The one thing I really did not enjoy was the mochi dessert. I don't even know how they call those lumps mochi. The outer parts of mochi should be soft and chewy, but 2 out of the 3 pieces had oddly crumbly outer layers. Very strange and not too enjoyable. But really, other than the poor service, I would like to try this place again as it seems like a nice place to have a casual meal with the family.

Tried this place for the first time on Friday night and liked it so much, went back for lunch yesterday. Both experiences great! The food is fresh and tasty. Loved the salmon chowder and the baja shrimp ceviche. Five stars for both dishes. The two managers, Jerry & Tony, were attentive to us being "newbies". And a shout out to our friendly bartender, Adam. We look forward to our next meal as we go through the amazing menu!

It really doesn't matter how you feel about seafood, if you like mojitos (or even the non-alcoholic no-jito), you should check out Pacific Catch. Very tasty. Maybe you do like seafood, maybe that was the original reason you were tempted to try this place out. Good for you. I was very pleased with the parmesan crusted sole. Thin, crispy panko crust on the outside with a drizzle of a nice sauce to compliment the tender, flaky, not-fishy-tasting at all goodness on the inside. Tuna fans should give the spicy tuna roll a try. It's a little different than sushi-focused places, but boy is it good. The food is served up quickly, the service is attentive but unobtrusive and I've been pleased with what I've seen of the bar. Check it out, and make sure to grab a mojito (or no-jito) while you're there.

Caterina V.
We started with the calamari which was good. Our main courses were the pacific salmon club (on special) and the fish and chips. The salmon club was excellent but after next week is off the menu, the fish and chips were horrible, they were greasy and heavy. Bottom line we definitely won't be coming back, I mean come on who can't make fish and chips! Next time I'll go to Rex Lobster! :) Happy Eating!

Michelle S.
I gotta say... it was just alright... Maybe I went on a bad night but the white fish I got was so over-marinated, it was salty and overcooked. The meat wasn't flaking like it should. But, one visit isn't enough for me to not come back. The drinks were fine and our server was nice and accommodating. So I'll try again.

This review is for their bar area. Came here for a post dinner drink with my good friend. I heard of this place from a server who had trained to work here. She recommended their food highly and although I had already eaten dinner, I wanted to try something from their drinks menu. I got the guava cooler and my friend got the lemongrass mojito. Both drinks were pretty good with the guava drink having a little bit of fizzy carbonation and the lemongrass had a mix of lemongrass, mint, and rum all together. Service was pretty good...they came back to check on us regularly and there are some nice booths located in the bar area that could fit a very small group comfortably. I'm thinking that I can snag one there if I ever forget to make a reservation there. They write their daily seafood specials on a blackboard so I'm excited to try their fresh specials the next time I come here. Their happy hour late night is from 10pm to midnight.

Needed to do some serious catching up with a long-time friend who came back from working in India. She was in need of some solid seafood, so Pacific Catch seemed like a very suitable option. We started off with the Hawaiian Poke ($9.50) which was quite good. The ahi tuna was fresh and held a pleasantly firm texture. It came with a generous pile of fried wonton strips, and was perfect for sharing between the two of us. We both ended up getting the Mahi Mahi special of the day ($18.50), which came with an avocado crema, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. I was actually quite impressed with how many components they placed on the dish. The mahi mahi was a generous piece of fish and had a pronounced grilled flavor. The avocado crema didn't harmonize very well with the overall dish, and the sweet potato fries were pretty standard. The vegetables were executed very well, which included grilled zucchini and squash, roasted red peppers, and even half of a corn on the cob. The menu was quite extensive and featured plenty of dishes that I would need to try out, including the rolls and rice bowls. The service was okay for the most part, but our waitress took an unusually long time to pick up our check. They actually offer complimentary sparkling water besides the usual distilled (a first for me in the South Bay) and leave a bottle of water at your table, which I appreciated. The atmosphere of the place is neat and modern, and allowed for easy conversation. Pacific Catch turned out to be another solid find in Campbell. I will definitely have to try out some of the offerings on the menu, and this could turn into a regular spot considering the lack of seafood places on my food radar in South Bay.

Never knew this existed in Pruneyard until we met up with some friends for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice decor and friendly staff and the buzz in the restaurant definitely showed this was a hot spot. I ordered the Poke Wasabi bowl which was tasty and very fresh. You can tell high quality ingredients were used as the brown rice that I optioned was one of the best I've had. Also, this bowl is huge! For once I couldnt even finish all the rice..shocking I know =P Everyone else enjoyed their food too which ranged from fish tacos to meat sandwiches. Great selection of different beers on tap and competitive pricing add up to a great experience!

WOW, I haven't had delicious Asian fusion in waaaay too long!! If you like Japanese food, sushi, etc, but want more of a restaurant environment and menu, that was Pacific Catch to me. It reminded me of Roy's Asian Fusion (which is really expensive). I got the Japanese Wasabi bowl (wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce) and I got it with Seared Ahi, which I loved, and my best friend got the same bowl but with Hawaiian Poke and teryaki sauce. It was big enough to fill me up, which is usually not the case with sushi-style food. But you can also get a double order of the fish which I think I will do next time and get the same order but with Poke and Ahi. I will have to try the other location in SF.. I have a feeling it will become a regular lunch spot. :)

Had a great date night here last night, food and service were excellent. Good crowd too, families and older folks and some younger groups as well. We shared the dungeonous crab dumplings and corn and crab soup, both were tasty but that soup was amazing! I got the Japanese rice bowl with wasabi glazed salmon and brown rice and I loved it. Husband got the taco trio platter with mahi fish tacos and cod tacos, I tried these and they were so good, they have a delicious cilantro sauce. Our server was really attentive and helpful, sounded like Jeff bridges a little too. We shared the macadamia brownie sundae for dessert the brownie was huge and dense and delicious, I swear we needed two other people to finish it. It had a really good coconut ice cream which we had to eat all of. Great first time at Pacific Catch, we'll definitely be back!

Rob J.
Not sure how this place is rated 4 stars - it's okay with some interesting menu selections. You'd expect more options for fresh catch in various preparations but not much here. It's a noisy spot - I don't normally notice but I did here. I can think of many other more interesting places to spend a dinner.

Awesome service from our waitress who gave us extra service because the kitchen was particularly busy. Poke Fest through the beginning of May! Amazing. Glad we made a reservation because it was packed Sunday night. I almost forgot the amazing dessert. You must try the fried dulce de leche. Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae was also delicious, but Dulce de Leche wins.

My first time here. The place is nice and clean. Our waitress 4 stars. The food... Since it was our first time here. We weren't sure what to order, but with the help of our waitress we ended up getting the Japanese wasabi rice bowl, catch basket, and the cabo calamari.... Next time we go. We will explore the menu a bit more.

Noelle J.
the world according to noelle ~2012~ On a weekday, dined at Pacific Catch with my family. We started with: Warm Edamame Korean Sticky Ribs Our order: Hawaiian Poke (starter dish, served as my main dish for lunch) Korean Barbecue w/ marinated skirt steak Hawaiian Teriyaki w/ grilled chicken breast Iced Tea Lemongrass Infused Tea Desserts: Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls We arrived on a rather warm day, throughout the whole meal it felt as if the air conditioning wasn't working at all which made for an unpleasant dining experience. Our server also mentioned that in general their air conditioning doesn't work well. I'm not a fan of dining in a rather warm/hot room, so I guess my next dining experience will be late morning or when the weather is cooler. So if you don't like dining in a warm room- this isn't the restaurant for you. We started with the warm edamame which was a great starter, along with the Korean Sticky Ribs which were tender, fall off the bone and simply delicious. I LOVED the Hawaiian Poke- the fish was fresh, the marinate was delicious and the wonton crisps were fried to perfection. I tried my family member's Korean Barbecue w/ marinated skirt steak and absolutely loved it- seasoned well, and the steak was very tender. Did try my other family member's Hawaiian Teriyaki but it also got raves from people who tried it. The Macadamia Nut Brownie was a failure of a dessert, there was an unnecessary amount of whipped cream, weak tasting fudge sauce and a serious lack of ice cream. Our server misinformed us and told us we should order TWO Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls to share among three people- this was bad considering ONE order would have been fine. The Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls were filled with a creamy and delicious dulce sauce and served with a delicious ice cream (different from my other family member's sundae). Not pleased with the hair I found in my rolled up cloth napkin when we first started our meal. Our server was attentive in the start but started to fade as our meal winded down- I had to get up and ask her for more chocolate sauce for my cousin's sundae (she was shooting the breeze with other customers, and at this point the restaurant was nearly empty). Good food, so-so customer service. Will give them another try, possibly. Noelle's Notes Good food So-so customer service Lacks good ventilation. They need to fix their air conditioning!!!

Fresh and tasty! Came here for lunch ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich with spicy fries. It had this jalapeno tarter sauce which was delicious and fries were seasoned heavily but regardless very tasty. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for some place with nice decor when enjoying western style cooked seafood.

I don't give five stars but this place earned it! I don't know how they can give such great service at these prices and the food is fresh + delicious. Had a res. showed up early and was seated immediately. Server was so nice. The food came out so quickly it startled me. Here's why I gave five stars: they had Dungeness crab as it was in season. I go crabbing with my boat and traps and do very well and for this reason usually refuse to buy it. Even won't buy them live out of a tank cause I can taste the tank water. But my wife wanted me to suck it up and try it so I did. This is as close as you can get to caching your own crab! Tastes the same! Next time I'm in the state this won't be a stop. It will be a destination!

Great place for a hip, healthy, fresh dinner. When they sit you down, you are served a tiny platter of cold edamame beans and pretzel goldfish (that lasted a whole 30 seconds between the two of us). We quickly ordered drinks in celebration of it finally being Friday night...after a long work week. I had the Mai Tai and the hubs had Kamikaze Bloody Mary. Both drinks were refreshing, but didn't necessarily warrant the $11-12 price. We ordered a spicy tuna roll for our appetizer, which was pretty good. For dinner I had a large organic salad topped with Hawaiian style poke. The salad was huge and had a really tasty dressing. I would definitely order it again! My husband's dinner (Korean skirt steak rice bowl) was yummy, but he was still hungry afterward :( He said he would have ordered something different if he knew it was going to be so small. They also have an awesome selection of on-tap local brews that are all decently priced. Overall I'd give Pacific Catch a 3.75 . The clean food, nice wait staff and decent menu will keep us coming back for more.

I am a fan. Great new place in the Pruneyard. We came for dinner on a weeknight. Although parking lot was full, we were able to get a table. I order the 2 taco plate (Baja and shrimp). The shrimp taco was very tasty, the Baja was ok, but too much sauce. My BF got the fried combo plate with sweet potato fries. He ate everything on his plate, which is rare. The service was fantastic, the host/mgr seated us and came back when he noticed that we had placed our menu on the table to ask if we were ready to order even though he was not our server. We will definitely be back to try other foods on the menu.

I got 7 weeks to get my beach body because I'm going to Vegas for a bachelors party, and I'm not gonna be at the pool with: a. my man boobs out b. a shirt on covering up my man boobs Diet is in order. Came here on the first day of Operation Lose Man Boobs And Tummy In Order To Look Nice In Vegas (OLMBATIOTLNIV). Went inside and was greeted by the hostess. Was told a 15 to 20 minute wait. More like 10. Ordered the Hawaiian Teriyaki rice bowl with grilled Mahi Mahi. The Mahi Mahi was really good and the Teriyaki sauce was great. I opted for brown rice instead of white rice. Plenty of veggies in the bowl. A great way to start OLMBATIOTLNIV. The service was really good and all in all, I had a nice fairly healthy (I should've opted for half veggies half brown rice) dinner.

Came here twice within the last year. My husband and I recently relocated and now we're super close to the Pruneyard. We came here for dinner both times, and both enjoyed our food. So far, the hubs has had their Korean Ribs rice bowl and their Vietnamese Sandwich, Both are super tasty. The ribs are good, but definitely on the sweeter side. The sandwich is spicy!! Not for the faint of heart. I really enjoy their fish and shrimp tacos. Full of flavor and super fresh seafood. You just can't go wrong with that. This place gets super crowded--doesn't matter what day of the week. If you're going with a huge group, you need to make a reservation. Good service and good food. I'm happy.

Interior: 9/10, Food: 8.5/10, Service: 8/10. Been here a couple of times. Fish is fresh, food is tasty, but the portions are small. This place gets very busy on the weekends so the waiters are very busy. You need to flag them down if you want to order more food. Nice place to take out of town guests for something different.

I love Poke! I'm always on a quest for poke and Pacific Catch popped up on Yelp so of course I had to check it out! We ordered: - Poke trio (ahi poke, shrimp ceviche, fresh catch ceviche[today was bay scallops]) - BBQ pork sandwich 1. Ahi poke was ok. I probably wouldn't order it again unless I was REALLY craving tuna. They give you large, fresh chunks of tuna mixed with soy sauce, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Served with wonton chips. I'd give it 3 stars. 2. Shrimp ceviche was a little better (read little). It was nice and refreshing because of tons of lime juice but it wasn't really a ceviche because they blanch the shrimp first and mix it - which basically makes it a cocktail, not ceviche. Served with tortilla chips. 3 stars 3. Bay scallop ceviche with coconut(?), avocado and black pepper oil. This one really spicy. it was very well seasoned and not too rich. However it was pretty one-note and boring after awhile. Served with purple potato chips. 3.5 stars 4. BBQ pork sandwich- average at best. The pork was soft but bland and the sauce wasn't enough to mask the dryness. It came with a decent coleslaw and YUMMY spicy french fries. 4 stars for this dish because the fries saved it. I really wanted to give this place 3 stars because the prices are ok, food is ok and portions are decent. However the service is stellar and the location for me is convenient. So for now, it's 4 stars overall :)

I'm not sure what's going on with the restaurant these days but the rolls are inconsistent and the service could be much better. Tatum was my server. I openly expressed my disappointment at the end of my meal and nothing was done. I worked as a server while in college, so I know what good customer service looks like. This was not my experience! I clearly explained that the last 3 times that I visited I ordered the same roll and each time it came out raw when no tempura was requested, but this time it came out cooked. I'm not a fan of cooked rolls so of course I ate one and was done. She simply asked if I wanted a box and I said no. I'm sorry but knowing the situation and understanding that my expectations weren't met, she could have asked the manager to apply a discount or coupon for the next visit at the very least. I left very disappointed and it's not about the money, it's the principle.

Expensive but so yummy! Drinks were good! Food was delicious. Server was knowledgeable about menu!! That is always a plus because we don't know what to get and want to know what's good! A little upscale but so yummy! Not from around town and wanted something good And this place hit the spot! Should give it a try once. Opened late! We were there Saturday night until almost 11!! Love it

I would have given this review 5 stars if our server was Tony each and every time. However, its not, and we dont always have the friendliest waiters. Overall, great food, nice ambiance, and decent service. But, we really love Tony! He used to be a bartender and now he is a manager. A little pricey for those that are conscious of that.

We gave this place a try tonight as we want something fresh and seafood. Found it on Yelp and came on weeknight dinner. We got seated right a way but the restaurant was crowded. Decoration remind me of Hawaii restaurant theme. I ordered the trio tacos and it was good. I like the shrimp taco the most. My husband ordered Vietnamese Steak Sandwich and it was good also. We ordered the coconut shrimp for appetizer and it was good. Overall, we likes the food and the ambiance. Price wise is a bit high but not too bad.

I went back. I was only in town for a week, and despite that... I went back. Both times I had tacos mix and match; the first time I enjoyed their ceviche. I guess you could probably say that it is a bit pricey but I wasn't in the mood to care since I had so many other not-so-great dining experiences on my trip.

Rating: 2.5 It was ok. The menu didn't wow me. It was hard to decide what to order because nothing sounded good. I guess I'm not into asian-mexi-hawaiian seafood fusion. Appetizer: Started with the poke which had good flavor and great salty won ton skins but the tuna chunks were way to big. Had to cut most pieces in half in order to get them down. Drinks: Hubby's margarita was super small full of ice and overpriced. Tangerine wheat beer was good. Mains: I ended up with the tacos, hubby had the salmon. He liked his, mine was nothing special. They really overhauled the look of the place and the service was good but I miss L@A.

I tried the California Roll and some of the "Ecstasy" roll. Tasty. The servers were very nice it seemed very busy even on a Tuesday night but they were very efficient. The decorations/vibe inside was nice as well. :)

WARNING - food poisoning risk My wife ordered opah and I ordered the mahi-mahi rice bowl. She noticed I'd turned very red shortly after leaving the restaurant. We both had horrible diarrhea when we got home less than an hour later. This was a $60 enema for us - won't ever go back again!

My girlfiends and I met up there on a Monday night. The place was packed. We ordered appetizers - the spicey tuna rolls - delish! The Coconut prawns - pretty good, could have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds earlier. I had the Tortilla soup - so delish with all the flavors - chicken, prawn, jalapeno peppers, lime, chicken broth etc - I ordered a bowl to go so I could eat more the next day. My GF's ordered taco's - they said they were delish as well. We split a pitcher of margarita's. I would like it if they could blend - but they have no blender. Very good. I'll be back with my hubby.

Since my first review, I have eaten here about ten thousand times. Fantastic: spring roll dessert, brown rice Excellent: thai bowl, green thai sauce, mahi mahi (when not overcooked), pan-crusted sole, service, ahi poke appetizer (before they revamped, re: defiled, with a bunch of chopped cucumber), fish tacos, basil aioli, decor, restaurant layout Pretty Good: mahi mahi with tomato-lemon topping Terrible: artichoke, getting your bowl with half greens (it's mostly lettuce) Tuesday's are half-priced bottles of wine. Make sure to use the punch card app! Best restaurant in Pruneyard (not saying a lot)

food was delcious, nice interior, service was pretty weak but not the worst- just only saw our waiter once every 25 mins. im definitley going back to eat though had a trio of poke for an app: -something serrano - pass on this one tasted like tuna salad -lomi lomi - the best! id go back for this one, similar to traditional poke -white tuna- pretty good mild tuna taste and a lot of citrus flavors for dinner i had : an ahi tuna wasabi bowl with 1/s brown rice 1/2 greens: sooooo tasty each bite had a diff flavor and the 1/2 and 1/2 combo i wasnt too full of rice they had some good looking cocktails on their menu and if i was drinking that night i would have definitley tried, but ill save it for another night. mid way pricey but what good seafood isnt. cant wait to go back.

It was a Sunday evening at 6, and with our reservation, we were seated about 10 minutes after arriving. The sushi was surprisingly good and the "bowls" were quite ample. It seemed like our waiter had too many tables, as he didn't check in once after our meal was served. This place isn't romantic, yet is a fine place for an abundant meal with adequate service.

Steve T.
Awesome decor, ambience, even the bathroom were nice. The service was excellent and the food creative and tasty. Had the copper river salmon with green mango salad and Asian eggplant. Buddy had the Ono and both these dishes were great. My favorite part was the free bottles of sparking and still water they offer. Could be the best value for seafood and ambience in the Bay Area.

There Hawaiian Poke is awesome! Atmosphere is great! Service is always enjoyable. Recommend this place for sure. It is a little pricy though. After a 2 meals and drinks it adds up fast.

Welcome to the suburbs! Filled with happy hours, greasy appetizers, and semi-decent sushi rolls, Pacific Catch is everything you expect from a chain joint, tucked away in a strip mall. And it's not bad. Think of this place as an updated Fish Market, with a hipper atmosphere and an interior facelift. But it's not great either, lacking that personal touch, and that elusive ingredient called love that all chains and their thousand calorie entrees lack. I came here with a few coworkers for happy hour a couple weeks ago. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. In the end, it was pretty forgettable.

I had been craving seafood and saw this place had good reviews and was dog friendly. Apparently the outdoor patio is not attatched to the main dinning area b/c our server had to keep coming out the front door to attend to us. We also brought our 15 month old daughter and were offered high chair, but she was fine to chill in the stroller beside the table. We were brought cold shelled edemame to start and they put pretzel goldfish crackers on the plate, very thoughtful. We split the Cabo Calimari to start, let the server know my husband isn't a big fan of spicy and he brought is tater sauce along with the chipotle dip it comes with. Along with the squid they batter and fry chillis and lemon slices, it was interesting and I would order it again. We also split the rising sun roll which was also good. I like how they serve water, from an unmarked blue wine bottle which they leave (I tend to blow through my water fast). Our bill came out to $30 after tax and tip, but we aren't big eaters, i doubt it would have been enough food for most couples, so kinda pricey.

You will love this place. Lovely people and good place for groups and friends. I and a few others friends come here occasionally and spend some time together having lunch and talk for hours. The food tastes goos and the environment is so relaxing. At night time it gets a bit crowded.

Very good food! Nice atmosphere, a tad noisy - but the service and food make up for it :) Gabriel was our server and was very attentive. We started with the coconut Thai shrimp= excellent. And also the Baja Shrimp ceviche=very good. For dinner I had the grilled salmon salad=superb! My husband had the two taco meal with beans and a side salad. They give a choice which tacos you can have (mix/match) so he had mahi mahi and the cabo shrimp= he said they were very good! For dessert- the fried dulce de leche spring rolls. Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce covering it- mmmmmm. We definitely shall return!

Great environment for an lunch date. As an decoration plus the water was presented in a beautiful blue bottle. They have great 4 star service due to some special request I made. I was on a date lunch and ordered the sword fish special. The fish was cooked with perfect heat but as for the flavor it was a little bland. Pieces of the fish slide off perfectly just missing seasoning. On the side I ordered an typical tea. Which unfortunately came out to be very plain tea. No remote tropical drop in the tea. The waiter was very nice in switching another glass to see if the flavor changed. But disappointingly it was the same but I did gave them a star for the effort. The rice bowl which my date ordered was good which would of bump up to an four star if she reviewed.

I am staying at the Pruneyard and wanted to take advantage of the ability to actually WALK somewhere for dinner instead of scouring the streets for my next meal. Lucky for me, Pacific Catch is literally right next door! As I am walking towards the entrance at a rather early time (6:30), I was blown away by how busy and loud the restaurant is! Good sign. Since its so busy I decide to get my meal to go and order with the nice hostess up front. I ended up ordering two tacos... The steak and the shrimp (grilled not fried) that come with a side salad (hold the fries!) and an order of the original poke ahi salad. They were pretty busy so I waited a little bit for the food but good things come to those who wait, right? Eventually I'm handed a giant bag of fishy goodness and out the door I go. Once back in my room I examine and devour my goodies. The steak taco by far was the best taco of the two. It is moist, flavorful and even a bit spicy with its sriracha aioli. I could eat a bag full. The grilled shrimp taco had a bite with its lime crema and perfectly grilled shrimp. The ahi app comes with wontons that are full of flavor and the ahi is plentiful. I couldn't even finish the order was so large! I'm thinking that could be a meal alone for this girl... And I may even go back tomorrow for round two! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It was very busy and by the time I left there was a 45 minute wait on a freaking Monday! You know it's good when people are willing to wait that long on a weeknight. Don't be surprised if you see me checking in again tomorrow night for a delicious, and healthy, dinner!

My boyfriend and I come here very often. The food is great. The combo of salad-items and rice actually work really well. I love the sushi and the rice bowls. The Korean BBQ dish has to be my favorite. I recommend the bubble milk tea. They also have some pretty good brands of beers on tap. The food also seems like it would be healthy, and I love the atmosphere here.

I've eaten here 4 times now and 3 times it has been a positive experience. But I spoke with many other regulars and the general sentiment is when it's on, it's on. When it's not? Way off. I agree, it can be way off. However, the flavor and quality is great. The ambiance is ok though loud.

Great service. The menu was explained thoroughly since none of us had ever been here before. Our server was spot on with the special orders we needed which is important when there are food sensitivities. We ordered a variety of food for five of us and everyone enjoyed all of it. Even separate checks were not a problem.

Not bad. But probably won't be hurrying back here. Korean rib appetizer was good, but on the salty side and definitely overpriced (see: Straits Cafe and E&O Trading Company for the right way to do these and at a better price). Spicy tuna roll was very good. Fish and chips were good, but nothing spectacular and serving size was small. Two of us had soft taco plates and the best one was the shrimp taco. Service was spotty. I could see why this place would be popular. Lots of menu choices. But overall food quality was just average.

helloo happy hour!! First thing's first- MAKE A RESERVATION! idk why, but i think it's awesome to say.. " hi, my name is Marco and I have a reservation for 9pm. usually my girl says, "wow.. you actually planned it?! " LOL!.. but she's crazy though.. so idk. I brought her here a while back, she had the California Salmon sandwich and I had the Grilled Salmon salad then we had a couple drinks.. mai-tai for me and long island for her.. great food! moist salmon & not over cooked plus her sandwich came piled .. and i mean PILED, she had to unhinge her jaw to bite! plus it came out quickly and the service was tip top! *i stand corrected, water is PURIFIED:) * I like their blue water bottles they leave on yr table, although it isn't purified water- at least I don't have to wait 10mins. if i'm choking on food:) nice touch! Atmosphere was calm and somewhat quieter than I expected, it was a rainy day so it was rather romantic .. -meh, not really.. the asian kids next to us started irritating their dad and you know what happens when asian dads get irritated, they get LOUD. So thanks for nothing LOUD guy, you just killed my chances of action. I hate you. let's eat eat eat!!

Sushi for the unculctured. Sorry, but I just can't hang with all the glowing reviews of this place. When I first came in, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. It's pretty swank inside. Service is, for lack of a better word..weird. Not exactly BAD, but not GOOD... When you sit down, you get a little plate with peeled edamame and....pretzel goldfish?? Uh, OK... Had the fish & chips, it tasted OK at first but worse as I kept eating. The fries were more like fries than chips, they were small fries. Soggy. The fish was poorly cut..one end of one of my pieces was HUGE while the rest of the piece was evenly cut... My friend had a roll with tuna...fish was not fresh. :(

Came here on a Friday night, was a 10minute wait to be seated for 2. Ordered too much food, but at least got to try a little of everything from: fish tacos, forgot what my bf ordered, wine, beer, 2 appetizers, & soup. Everything was delicious. We were seated outside, ambiance was great, & service was just right! I will definitely be coming back, im actually upset i did not come visit this place sooner. Lots to chose from!

Did you know everyone is closed on 4th of July? Ok, well I didn't. After 1.5 hours of circling to find a decent place to eat with outside seating (for the dog) we happen upon this place. It is in the same location Left at Albaquerque used to be, but the food, decor and service are all a vast improvement on that miserable place. I can vouch for the lemongrass mojito and California roll salad (deconstructed roll in shape of a salad with tons of fresh crab meat), mochi fondue, and coffee (served in French press and really good). The spicy tuna roll wasn't the greatest but it took the edge off our hunger so we could enjoy the other dishes. My husband really liked his tacos (huge) and spicy fries. The bill wasn't small ($67 before tip) but we did have a lot of food, so you can definitely do it for less if you want to. Oh, they also brought a water bowl for our dog, so that's a major plus.

This place is really fantastic. I've been here 3 times now, and have had a great experience each time. A few notes: It's freakin awesome that they let you sub brown rice for their (killer!) sushi rolls. What a nice touch :) Elizabeth was our server on the last visit, and she's really great. I haven't had that level of service in a long time, and her style is very genuine and personable without being restaurant-campy. The pan asian bowls are excellent, and big enough for two meals. I got the green Thai curry with mahi mahi, it was absolutely perfect. Just the right amount of curry to make sure the flavor/texture is there, but still make the dish taste fresh and light. Lots of interesting/different flavors in the bowl, enough to bring some home or share, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The cocktails here are really nice too - I love love love the lemongrass mojito. The sweet potato fries are delicious, made even more so with the accompanying sauces. The Peruvian ceviche is perfect - with just the right amount of spice. The only downside is it's a bit expensive to visit as often as I'd like...but only by a touch. A mid-week happy hour with discounts on rolls or appetizers would be really cool, I definitely be down to abuse that :) I have to put a small plug in here for sustainability: I've overheard people making claims that this place serves "all sustainable seafood"...and that's unfortunately not true (yet). A restaurant with this level of appeal and clear culinary talent could really help drive awareness, and I'll be thrilled if they put more of a focus on serving/promoting sound fisheries and fisheries practices. It's not the job the restaurant to build consumer awareness, but they do have the opportunity to have a real affect on their clients. I'd love to see them experiment with this!

Kiwi Flash and the Pisco Sour are my favorite at this bar. All of the food here is extremely fresh. We frequent P.C. minimum, twice a month and the staff is always friendly. One bartender remembered our drink order after the first time coming here. Favorite restaurant in Campbell...hand down.

This place was a pleasant surprise! Wandered in without a reservation at 8pm on a Tuesday, were seated immediately. I was able to stick to my diet easily, ordered a wasabi rice bowl with no rice, all veggies and it was definitely enough food and VERY fresh and tasty. My husband had a Thai curry rice bowl and he was very happy with his food. I wasn't expecting much for a restaurant in the Pruneyard (they're all generic chains, you know?), but I would go back. The bill was lower than expected, the food was better than expected, and the service was decent all around. Really not a bad introduction! Hit the spot.

I was there last week and was amazing, the waiter Raul was really nice, polite and also his recomendation was delicius.

I really enjoy this place. The wait is always worth it. They do not take reservations for small parties but will for larger parties (This is a NEW thing for them because they use to). The food is always good and the service excellent every time. I am a frequent diner of the Campbell location. It seems the best time to go is for a late supper during the week nights. Friday evenings can be quite crowded and the wait time can be up to 1.5 hours. Unfortunately parking is not that great in the shopping center where it is located in the Pruneyard. The parking ratio to establishments is just not enough. My observation is that this place is family friendly and a "girls hangout" Seems like a lot of girlfriends like to meet here for dinner! So if you are looking for a place to have "girls night out" this is a hot spot. It is also great for get together with friends (with kids) or not. I have had just about everything on the menu. The Pan-Asian rice bowls are all yummy - my favorite is the Thai Curry with Salmon. The Grilled Salmon and California Roll salads are very filling and delicious. The fish tacos are the perfect portion with a nice slaw and sweet potato fries. Don't for get to save a little room for dessert - I really enjoy the Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae! It's big enough to share! It can get loud, so be aware that it may be difficult to have conversations with your date! Maybe a late dinner where it's not so crowded would be best to take a date here. 6:00 PM is peak after 9 is good. The decor is nice and atmosphere is modern. I would make a suggestion that the management put outdoor benches outside for people to sit and wait. That would be a nice touch.

One of my new favorite places to eat. The cuisine reminds me alot of dining in Hawaii. My favorite, hands down, is the ahi poke bowl. The taste is divine, the portions generous, and the presentation eye-catching. A close second is the seared ahi sandwich, which comes with a side of sweet potato fries; but really, it's the wasabi spread that makes this sandwich. The decor is sleek and contemporary, the restaurant is kid-friendly, although parking can be difficult at times. Also, make sure to place reservations, specially if you're dining at peak times.

Not your ordinary or 'better' fish-market-type of place...this place is GREAT! Innovative and fun seafood choices! I usually do not like cooked fish, but I do now! Thank goodness for this chef's fusing of modern, lighter-style technique with pan-Asian flavors! But that's not the end of the story. This chef takes the best from around the world in flavor. Mexico? Check! India? Check! Thai? Check! Hawaii? Check! etc. Our dishes were surprisingly flavorful, fresh and prepared perfectly. We tried a rice-bowl dish adjusted to include 1/2 lettuce along with the brown rice. MMMMM. The fish taco's were prepared two ways and an accompanying order of grilled brussel spouts rounded out the meal. Nice! There's a full bar filled with people happily awaiting their table, or eating off of the bar menu. Welcome to the Willow Glen/Campbell dining scene Pacific Catch! We've been waiting for you!

Love this place! Service was great. Food was excellent, especially the poke. Great concept of having many flavors of poke to choose from. We selected the trio where we got to pick three flavors. Loved it and the wonton chips were a pleasant surprise with onion flavor.

Hubby and I were craving for some ceviche and seafood, and since most of the reviews are 4 stars, thought we should try it. Nothing special really. Food is ok, and service is missing! We ordered the trio ceviche sampler, all salty but my hubby liked the Peruvian ceviche. California roll... Blah! I had salmon salad, it's not as good as expected. My hubby's fish n chips with coconut shrimp and fried oysters were not a hit either. We also ordered some drinks - mojito lemonade and its all ice. The worst of all is the service... No one was cleaning our table even after we finish our appetizers. They brought out our entree and we had to ask twice for someone to clear the empty plates on our table. Would not return.

Pacific Catch is nice on a warm summer day. The best foods here do not need to be served hot and the restaurant has a great patio for outdoor dining. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. But, the food here is just OK. My friend and I ordered the baja shrimp ceviche (but somehow ended up with the sampler) and the poke rice bowl to share. Pan-Asian Rice Bowl - Japanese Wasabi with Poke (wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce): I love the combination of flavors in the bowl. My biggest complaint was the rice: it was mushy. Rice is an easy thing to make so this was inexcusable. Ceviche - I asked for the Baja Shrimp Ceviche but somehow the waiter thought he heard Pacific Ceviche Trio. So, we got to sample the Peruvian Ceviche and the Poke as well. Be warned that this sampler is almost twice as expensive as one ceviche (luckily, I complained since they got our order wrong and they only charged us for the shrimp ceviche). Nothing really stood out from the ceviches except for the won ton crisps - they were very nice with the ceviches. I don't know people love the shrimp ceviche so much. It was just OK. The spices in the Peruvian Ceviche were a little better. I probably wouldn't get any of the ceviches again.

Great discovery within The Pruneyard shopping center! Pacific Catch has a nice atmosphere - not too casual, yet not too formal. I'd say more like "business casual." Perfect to go with a 5-year old child and get some sort of atmosphere during lunch. There is a nice patio area for seating. Upon sitting down, the waitress brings complimentary edamane (shelled) and pretzel goldfish crackers. Strange combination, but it works, especially to keep a child busy. I've had the Vietnamese Beef sandwich both times that i've been there. The bread is so soft and flavorful; loved the beef and the crunchy veggies inside the sandwich. And, the sauce. Spicy. The dish came with choice of french fries, spicy fries, or sweet potato fries. Good value and portion size for the price. We've also tried one of their rolls as an appetizer. Large portion and tasty. My husband has ordered their fish tacos. He says that it was good. I'd enjoy going back more for brunch and have a drink or two with my meal. They have a full bar. A good restaurant in Campbell with a different menu (more Asian inspired) than chain restaurants. Loved it!

Was kinda excited to try this place. My boyfriend and I left very disappointed. The food is below-average Asian fusion of some sort. While our waiter was pleasant enough, we waited an unusually long time for our food to arrive. Worse, after a meal neither of us enjoyed, we waited a full 20 minutes after finishing our meal for our check to arrive. I wondered if he forgot about us. Mind you, this was around 11:30 AM on a rainy Saturday. The place was not even close to being busy. And lastly-the prices are very high, especially for food that basically sucked. Yeah...so we won't be returning.

I really enjoyed dinner at Pacific Catch on a Friday night!!! I made reservations and was sat immediately. I have no complaints about this restaurant, all the dishes we ordered were great and the yelp reviews are accurate. We couldn't decide if the place was more Asian or Mexican influenced serving fish and seafood dishes but it works! Just the hubby and I and we ordered the trio ceviche and appetizer and special crab louise with clam chowder. Not sure why but we were starting to get full but had to order dinner for the full experience. Then he had the taco platter with fish and steak, I enjoyed the steak, I ordered the special (there was some event for the week) sole with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion was surprisingly good two whole fillets and the sauce was tasty. Regardless of how full my belly was, no surprise but I ordered and killed the tres leche spring rolls! Haha Definetly will be going back as all the food was fresh and on point with reasonable prices. Helpers check out the place but make reservations, great restaurant in Campbell.

PROS: + Great Tacos CONS: - Sweet potatoes fries are soft I came here and had their Island Taco (3 tacos), Traditional Baja, Mahi Mahi and Pacific Steak. They were all good well prepared. The steak was moist and juicy, but needed a bit of seasoning. The traditional baja and Mahi Mahi were moist and not overcooked. The sweet potato fries were not too fantastic. They lacked crispiness and would have been better if seasoned with a bit more salt. I would come back here for the tacos, good stuff.

Was happy to see that something finally took left and alba's place. Food was very tasty, the seafood combo platter! the seviche sampler is very good as well. lively atmosphere and great service. only reason for not giving 5 stars is the restroom was a mess when i used it, maybe it was just bad timing ? all well, great eat.

I had an amazing meal here 3 days ago. From drinks to appetizers to the main course(s) and dessert, we were excited and happy to taste everything. There are plenty of exotic and unique drink options for alcohol- and non-alcohol drinkers alike. Vegetarians, pescatarians, and carnivores will all find plenty of delightful things to sink their teeth into. Our reservation was ready as soon as we walked in the door and the service was excellent. The ambience is very relaxed and at the same time full of energy. The mixture of guests there was great, from children to older adults. The noise level is moderate, mostly because the delicious food put every one in such a good mood. Check out the photos I posted to see (most) of our meal and check out the menu to see what's in store for you!! Will be going back again & again!!

Located in Pruneyard in campbell, this place has a fresh and inviting atmosphere. But, as much as my friend loves this place, i think it's just okay. I've been to this one and the one in SF and both times left me with the same conclusion. This place is just okay. While the Poke and many of the appetizers were good, my Entree wasn't. The fish was just kinda bland.

We eat here about every 2 weeks and like it a lot. Our picky teenager is just learning to like fish, and the high quality seafood here has helped him expand his eating choices. The tacos are all good, our other teenagers like the sushi choices, the mahi mahi sandwich is my favorite, and the mai tais are some of the best I've ever had.

This place is great, though I always feel like I only order one or two things on their menu. The ambiance is really nice. Our waitress last night, Anj, was very attentive and good at her job. I got the crispy oyster basket last night which is super yummy if you like oysters. My husband got the Thai Curry bowl with extra chicken and it was too big for him to eat, so lucky for him he has leftovers. I often get the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl with skirt steak which is also delicious. Or more rarely, I get the salmon salad which comes with salmon skin croutons. Yummy!

I wanted to love this place, but the building made more of an impression than it's food. We slid in here on a Monday in the middle of our Monday Funday (which is different from Sunday Funday, because you make a trip to Marshall's next door). We got here right as Happy Hour began. Happy Hour menu looked like it would have been promising. We ordered: Shiso Fine ($6) Sushi Roll French Fries ($4) - Spicy Rub (we also got the Sweet Potato ones for free, because we checked into Foursquare) Pacific Punch ($9) Spicy Tuna Roll ($6) Edamame ($4) Peruvian Ceviche ($6, I believe) Sushi rolls were decent, but it didn't stand out as finely made sushi. The rolls were really limp, and the rice was a bit soggy as the rolls took place on our table over time. The edamame which can be hard to fuck up, but somehow the salt relegated to the middle of it. Ceviche, I wasn't pleased and the french fries should have 1.) came out on time 2.) been more impressive, for offering three types. Maybe they were a more interesting side dish to go with fish. My friend loved her Pacific Punch, it was almost like jungle juice. We had a Mochi Fondue which was masqueraded as mochi ice cream with chocolate sauce to dip (even Sonoma Chicken Coop knows fondue deserves a tea light in lieu of the proper equipment). Service was good, everyone was nice - but our server was also the bartender so it was a bit absent. We eventually also had another server during our meal not knowing as the other one left, I think. But however, the major flaw was on part of the manager--he walked by us numerous times and even as our bill sat out for probably 10-12 minutes, he couldn't even have bothered to pay attention. If the manager of a place walks by a table numerous and can't notice a bill waiting to be paid, someone is doing their job wrong. I might be inclined to try this date, perhaps on a date since the building is so nice--but other than that my first impression might be my last.

Casual place with good food, I wonder why there aren't more places like this? We were a little worried about the wait since we were going with a group of 5 for lunch on a Sunday but there were a few open tables when we got there. We ended up sitting at the bar since football was on. The food here is made really well and more importantly it's fresh. Our bartender/server, Jenny recommended the cucumber martini and it was sooooo good and refreshing! I could seriously become an alcoholic with this drink. Thanks Jenny for the recommendation, I'll make sure to send you my AA bill. I love their menu! It's very simple so it makes it easier to order. We ordered the Hawaiian Poke (yes, we had to see what all the hype was all about) for the table to share and it was very fresh and good. I had the shrimp tacos and I LOVE IT! Ever since I've been back from Ensenada 2 years ago, I've been trying to find a place that made deep fried battered shrimp tacos. Taste almost as good as the authentic ones from Mexico. Overall, good service, fresh and delicious food, what more can I ask for?

Its like the PF Changs of Asian fusion. Hell of a lot better than Elephant Bar. We had the coconut shrimp, which were good. Shrimp taco was good The Baha taco had too much green sauce but was better than the mahi mahi The Mahi Mahi taco was gross, too much rub, too much sauce The fish and chips was meh. The california rolls while rolled good, were only as good as Safeways The cheesecake eggrolls tasted like the Del Taco deep fried cheesecake bites. I'd come back but I'd avoid a few pitfalls.

I had a really nice experience for my first trip to Pacific Catch....if you go on a weekend -make reservations! We had a 45 minute wait. However, the owner was working the front desk and making sure that everyone was seated as quickly as possible which I thought was outstanding. Although it was a cool night, we were offered seating on the uncovered patio. After the owner showed us where the seats were we decided that it would work and started our dining experience there. I love the edamame and goldfish pretzels for a little someone to start our meal and I had the California Sandwich which was good but could have used a little more flavor. I also had the hot edamame for an appetizer which was delicious. Service was excellent, and this will definitely become a spot for a date night.

After having amazing Poki in Hawaii, Pacific Catch is the closest thing to poke that replicates Uno Seafood. We ordered the Hawaiian Poke, cajun fries, and a Let's Get Saucy roll. The Hawaiian Poke appetizer was good. The soy sauce can be a tad too much, but tuni was good. The cajun fries was also great. Nothing unique about these; I'm just a fries person. The Let's Get Saucy roll didn't stand out at all. I wouldn't order this one next time. People talk about the poke bowls, so next time I'm here, that'll be on my list.

I work down the street, so I walk to Pacific Catch during my lunch. I'm always 100% satisfied with the food and the atmosphere. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try the ahi tuna sandwich! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the tuna is seared perfectly AND THERE ARE SLICES OF GINGER AND AVOCADO IN IT. MMMMM! Seriously mouthwatering :)

What an amazing dinner date my girlfriend and i had a few nights ago here! So last month we had Pacific Catch for the first time in SF and were happy to know they had one down here at home in the south bay area. I have to start by saying the ambiance is completely different, but in a good way. It was much more elegant here at the Pruneyard versus Chestnut Street, the menu was more extensive too, I loved the dimly lit rooms, and the service was spectacular! Upon entering we were immediately seated right away in the main room in the middle area. Our waiter then noticed we were lacking of some elbow space so they moved us to a booth area that was much more comfortable. I thought wow what great service to take the additional steps to actually care about how a customer feels versus just serving them their food! Anyways the sweetie and I started off with some drinks, a few beers for me and a cocktail for her. We got our mouths watering by ordering the Rising Sun Roll which comprised of shrimp, cucumber, tuna, avocado, seaweed wrap and rice. It tasted delectable, perfect contrast of flavor and texture. The quality was that of a sushi restaurant and that's not even the main focus here. For dinner, and because I really couldn't decide, I let our waitress, Tiffany, take our order. I felt like we were putting her on the spotlight, but she shined all the way thru! Almost immediately, she started to ask us a series of questions that would lead her to her recommendations for us. That's going above and beyond, and then some! After the questions were answered, my girlfriend got the two taco platter with mahi mahi and steak alongside the best sweet potato fries ever. I got some fish called Ono? with a side of rice and beans with sour cream and some ridiculously tasty green sauce alongside some slaw type cabbage thing. The food tasted wonderfully, the ambiance was chill, not to loud but not quiet, and our waiter Tiffany, checked up on us frequently for refills and to ask us how the food was. She shared some laughs with us, talked about current events and never took more than a minute to grab us anything like napkins or condiments. It speaks volume to me how a business really feels about their customers when they take the meticulous time to hire these individuals who provide the utmost stellar service. Even while we were dining a nice older gentlemen wearing a funky bold striped shirt approached us and asked us how everything was. He must have been the owner or something. Great service definitely drips from the top here, great! But lastly, wow, I will definitely be back for the food and service. Pacific Catch is a win, and if you like fresh great food, you'd be stupid not to come here.

I had a business lunch there recently and the only one off comment I can make is that it didn't seem that the waiters knew what tables they had. We had two servers try to take our order, hey better than no servers. We were there for crabfest we ordered the dumplings, but the manager came out and said they ran out. No problem we were about to order a substitute and without hesitation the manager offered to pay for the appetizer. Nice! My guest had the crab melt and she loved it (she has a sophisticated palate from all of her chef friends) and I had the salmon BBQ sandwich of course I asked for extra coleslaw (their coleslaw rocks!). We had a great lunch!

The food is okay just don't order sushi. Fish texture is not as smooth as it could be. Cocktails are not as strong as they could be.

A new seafood favorite for me! Seafood combined with Asian/Hawaiian fusion is what captured me. The ambiance at The Pruneyard makes it fun to hang out with friends or even entertain for business. Service was great! Special Mahi was so good, and the Ahi Salad, my all time favorite was just right!

I love pacific catch. I used to go to their SF location when I lived there so I was very happy when I heard they opened one up in the S. Bay! (I wish they would do that with a lot of SF restaurants hehe). I've been to the campbell location about 5 times since it's opened (3xs for their late night happy hour 10p-closing). I love that they have a late night HH bc I can rarely make the 4-6 HHs. I do have to say, my friend was disappointed with their HH selection (good beer selection, only 2 choices for wine, well drinks etc) but I love their SHiso roll and Saucy roll! The other major plus is that have a dog friendly patio. LOVE THAT!!! The SF location is a lot more casual, tiny with very limited seating. THe campbell location is a lot bigger, with plenty of seating , tvs at the bar and nicer ambiance (i.e. dimmer lights etc). They also recently added heat lamps on their patio. Lastly the food. So I like their rolls during Happy Hour. I did notice one minor thing - my favorite, go-to dish the ahi burger came with several slices of thin ahi rather than a large slab (like the one in SF). :( I prefer the large slab of Ahi (I've found that its hard to find a restaurant that serves ahi burgers w/ the thick slabs these days - sometimes it's "ground" tuna :T ). But I haven't been to the SF location in awhile so maybe they changed it to thin slices as well. If so, boo. The ahi bowl w/ brown rice and avocado was still good. The fish taco was still good as were the sweet potato fries with their awesome selection of sauces. We went last night (Thursday night around 830pm). It was pretty empty. I know the previous Mexican restaurant in that space did not do too well. I hope PC does well in order to stay open for a very long time as it is a great addition to the South Bay. Maybe they should do BYOB like Los Altos Grill on the nights they are not busy. It would definitely sway me and my friends. :) P.S. I feel it's a healthier restaurant option compared to most places.

Love the service and ambiance. The Poke is delicious!!! I hear the ahi tuna bowl is tasty too but not quite as flavorful. Be careful though, the Vietnamese Sandwich is super spicy!

I would have to say,while the Place is extremely Yuppie-ish but looking past that the food was excellent and the service was above par.My Wassabi bowl was 2 meals in one (mmmmm lunch tomorrow)and the taste was to die for!!!!!!! The margarita's were good but don't compare to the $4.88 margarita's at Chipotle next door.

Have been waiting to try out this place for a while and was able to today, yay... The interior is decorated nicely with bits of wood and dark paint which brings a contemporary design and almost night club feel. There is a nice looking bar in the back with 2 flat screens playing the latest game. Had the Cabo Calamari to start which was just OK. A bit too much batter and not enough Calarmari. The spicy chipotle aloli sauce was also a bit salty. I'll pass on this one next time. For dinner I had the Island Tacos which were really tasty, nice overall blend of flavors that you typically do not get at your fish taco taqueria. I had the Traditional Baja which is Cod, the Mahi Mahi and the Cabo Shrimp. (Am I a pig?, no I did not have much for lunch today....=) I've also been biking lately too!) One of the differences with these tacos is that they add sauces instead of salsa. Like jalapeno tartar, lime crema, sriracha aioli, ect... The only minor fault would be that the tacos were warm, not hot when they arrived. Maybe they sat a little before they were served...but overall service and attention was good. The tacos also came with some black beans which were ordinary. I'm a fan and will be back, maybe for lunch next time... Bring your credit card, an empty stomach and make some plans to work off those calories the next day... Out of 5 stars Ambiance: ***** Service: **** Food: **** Price: ***1/2

I went to Pacific Catch for valentine's day with my husband and it was amazing; everything from the ambiance to the service was spot on. My server was friendly and attentive without hovering, and our food was delivered quickly. We ordered calamari, spicy tuna roll and tacos; everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. One of the managers, Tony, checked on us and even hand delivered my husband's cocktail. It was a great experience with exceptional service, and delicious food made with simple yet fresh ingredients

This is my favorite lunch spot in the Pruneyard for a comfortable, business lunch that is healthy, casual, fast and great quality food. I love the Ahi Poki rice bowl with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce!

The food, service, and atmosphere here is good, but all around just meh. I don't want to be that harsh, really. It's great for casual groups, but not intimate enough for close friends. It's like a seafood-themed TGIF with much better decor and a great wine list.

So happy they've opened up this location. Hip enough for a casual dinner out, trendy enough for a fun first date or celebration. This is the first time we dined at this location and there was about a 20 minute wait on a Saturday evening. The hostesses were very personal and nice. It was pretty packed and the table for two was really tight, especially for the amount of food we ordered. We love the sweet potato fries and the Rising Sun roll was probably the best roll we've ever had, no joke. We would have ordered a second but we both still had our Ahi Poke and Sticky Ribs bowl. The Ahi Poke was really fresh and refreshing with a good amount of poke and veggie filler. I was pleasantly surprised at the generous amount of ribs in the Sticky Ribs bowl. A tad on the salty side and overly saucy however, I did end up scooping out quite a bit of the teriyaki sauce to give my tastebuds a break. The ribs were really tender and fell off the bone though. Very nicely done. They also offer brown rice which is a bonus. All in all, a very delicious meal and we'll definitely be back. I'm glad we no longer have to trek up to the city to satisfy our poke bowl cravings.

Wow, wow, wow! In a word, this place is AMAZEBALLS! I had the pleasure of dining at Pacific Catch recently while visiting Campbell and I came away extremely impressed! The restaurant itself is not very large but it still feels very open. Hats off to the interior decorator because this place is absolutely GORGEOUS without feeling stuffy or pretentious. Most of their light fixtures are these fabulous cobalt blue glass bottles of all different shapes and sizes hanging down from long black poles/cords coming from the ceiling. The kitchen area has a slate facade which is also quite lovely. Tres cool. But, let's talk about the food... The night I dined at Pacific Catch I was part of a group of 6. Even though we did not have reservations we did not have to wait more than a few minutes for a table. Once seated, our table was stocked with "munchies" in the form of goldfish pretzel crackers and shelled edamame. The goldfish crackers were kind of quirky but my entire group gobbled them up! One person in the group ordered some sushi, a ecstasy roll, and let everyone try a piece. This roll was fantastic! Perfect flavor and very fresh fish! For my meal, I ordered the dungeness crab Louie salad. Pacific Catch is not skimpy on their crab on THIS salad and they also make their own "thousand island style" dressing in house. The salad was delicious and at points I almost wanted to ask for more dressing because it was also very tasty! All of the people in my group were also very pleased with their meal choices which included steak tacos, mahi mahi, fish and chips and Blue Tilapia. I got the chance to take a nibble off the Blue Tilapia and it was so great! For dessert, my group shared a macadamia nut brownie ala mode and some of us had egg nog ice cream. Wow, that brownie was phenomenal! I do also want to mention the waitstaff. Our waiter for the evening was very attentive without being a nuisance, he kept our water full and also gave our group some great suggestions for entrees. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name but kudos to him and the rest of the staff! I definitely can't wait until my next trip to Campbell! I will certainly go back to Pacific Catch to sample the rest of their stellar menu!

This was our first time at this restaurant and we went in for a late dinner. Pleasantly surprised with the decor after seeing it previously as 'Left At Albuquerque'. We were seated promptly by a friendly host but then were not acknowledged by our server for at least 5-10 minutes, even after I had made eye contact with her shortly after being seated. ... That was already minus five points right there. When she finally came by, she was very nice, but later forgot to find out where the Mahi Mahi was from (we try to eat only ocean-friendly seafood). Food was mediocre: I got the Hawaiian Poke Rice Bowl and my husband got the Ahi Sandwich. He liked his sandwich, though the sweet potato fries were nothing special at all. The rice bowl was...a rice bowl. Nothing special. All in all, service and food lacks and definitely not worth the prices they charge. If service were better, I'd MAYBE be convinced to come back at least for their cocktails, but I'm not convinced yet - You're better off at Yankee Pier, and they participate in the Seafood Watch Program....

Cucumber martini -- a must try! We went during the day and there was no wait at all. They also offer online reservations, which is really helpful. We ordered the trio sampler and I heard the Peruvian ceviche was suppose to be delicious, but it was too oily for me. The Hawaiian poke was ok, and definitely not the best. Overall the food was really good and fresh. I also ordered the shrimp tacos, now those were SO DELICIOUS! I also tried their grapefruit mojito and that was REALLY good too. The bartenders are super nice! Remember to tip your bartenders!

I have mixed feelings about this place but I still go here to eat. I've eaten here about a dozen times for early lunches and to-go meals and think it's a nice alternative to the other restaurants in the area. My favorite menu items are the Korean BBQ rice bowl (half greens/half rice w/skirt steak) and the Nojito. My mother loves the Japanese Wasabi bowl with Ahi. My mixed feelings arise because I am a)From Hawaii and b)Eat a lot of different Asian food. Pacific Catch themes its food from these locations but I can only say that they are more like a fusion or re-imagination of traditional recipes. Not to say that what they come up with isn't good. It just might not be exactly what you expected. The Vietnamese Steak sandwich is sort of like a bahn mi, but with chewier thicker bread, less pickled vegetables and marinated steak as the main filling (no pate or tendons for them). The Tom Kha was very savory and wasn't as coconut milked or lemongrassed as I expected. The terikyaki sauce they use was thinner than I am used to and so had less presence in the dish, which had a bit too much oil either from the cooking, dressing, or separated sauce(?). I was pleased that they had a kid's menu. Most dishes came with vegetables and fruit as well as meat and fries, so it was a good amount of food for the munchkins. I didn't think the ambiance there was so great for kids, as most people there were straight from the office. The service is usually pretty good when we sit inside in the main area. They're very accommodating to food preferences. They ARE expensive, so I don't go here everyday. That being said, their rice bowls and salads are pretty huge.

I wanted to see what the new seafood restaurant had in store and I'm a fan. A bunch of us were meeting a fellow colleague to send him off to AZ. There were about 8 of us and I didn't make any reservations. The crew took a while to get there and by the time everyone was there, they already had a table for us. They sat us outside in the covered area with the heater up top. I made the mistake of sitting directly under the heater, which was a mistake because I was boiling by the time we left. I really like the complimentary peeled edamame and baby pretzels. I ordered 2 tacos for $11.99. The shrimp taco was good but I was expecting it not to be fried in batter. The mahi mahi taco was good but I suggest a different sauce other than the green one they used. The combination wasn't exactly the right blend of flavors. They accidentally sent me 2 shrimp tacos and ended up comping one and sent me my mahi mahi taco. The atmosphere was nice and we all had a great time. The place is very nice and modern. I will definitely be back to try a new dish.

I've been itching to try the Pacific Catch in SF for years, since its in my sister's neighborhood. Instead, one opened in Pruneyard and now I can conveniently have an SF-style dining experience within walking distance from my apartment. I've been here twice already and tried the Hawaiian poke rice bowl (brown rice option), mahi grilled entree (daily special), all the fish tacos, steak taco, dulce de leche ice cream, and several cocktails. They're all tasty, in good portions, and the fries are seasoned well. I'd probably try the fish n' chips in the future. Prices are fair and sparkling water is free. This is a place for a broad range of seafood and fusion food in a casual, modern setting - good for date nights. If I wanted sushi or maki rolls, I'd go elsewhere (specifically a sushi restaurant).

Pacific Catch at the former Left at Albuquerque Pruneyard location has now become a new "it place to go to" in Campbell! The decor is very stylish yet warm inside. It has a wonderful vibe inside. You nearly think you have been transported to somewhere in the City or LA. The best part however is the fish! I had the special Hawaiian Ono (California style) which was cooked to perfection. The prices are nearly half of what you would pay anywhere else . I have to give a special shout out to server Gilbert, he was amazing and truly loved where he worked and what Pacific Catch represents! Living in Campbell I feel real lucky to have a seafood restaurant that dares to serve different types of fish in unique and adventurous ways! I cant wait to go back again!

We went to a movie at Camera 7 and just used the Yelp "Nearby" to find this place in the Pruneyard. It's in the location of a mexican restaurant that we never went to; beside Marshall's. Sadly it didnt' replace the "meh" El Burro. We shared crab dumplings, corn chowder with crab, Ahi tuna sandwich and baja fish tacos. Really liked everything. The interior is attractive and the place was quite busy. Service was good. We luckily got there a little early and were seated right away. They do take reservations (on Open Table). Only thing I didn't like was that they have that nasty fruit-flavored iced tea. Many things on the menu left to try! We'll be back!

Just the place we need in Campbell!! This is a great spot and different from anything else. The ambiance is nice. In between casual and fancy which is always the best. We made a reservation on open table and were sat about 5min after the reservation time. The bar in the back of the restaurant is pretty nice. They have 10 beers on tab, a variety of wine, and a full cocktail bar. They also have a decent amount of seating back there and 2 TV's for sports. As for the food, I really had a hard time deciding. All the rice bowls and fish taco's sounded awesome. I went with the Hawaiian Poke Wasabi rice bowl. I think that is the name of it... It was the first one to choose. It was delicious and actually a healthy meal which is tough to find these days at a restaurant. The poke was great and the mix with the brown rice, veggies, avocado, and seaweed were awesome. They give you free flat and sparkling water in some cool blue bottles. They also serve tiny plates of edamame and fish pretzels to get you started. The service was good, the price is right, and the food was delicious. What more do you need!

Overall great experience on our first visit! There was a small wait when we walked in which is always a good sign to me. Just means people like the place and are willing to wait. The manager Warren greeted us at the host stand, guaranteed we wouldn't have to wait long, and suggested a drink at the bar. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, got a nice table, and we're quickly greeted by our server. The service was awesome, food and drinks were spot on and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice weekend dinner place. I would recommend to anyone! Didn't break the bank, either!

My husband and I went here for the first time, it was a Friday night. We made reservations online for 8:15pm and arrived at the restaurant at 7:45pm. We told them we would be in the bar waiting and then when it was time they came and got us which was nice. The restaurant was very crowded and we got seated near the door so we could smell people smoking outside! We had Hawaiian Poke for appetizer and it was DELICIOUS!! We also had sweet potato fries (were just ok) Coconut shrimp (pretty good) and a Firecracker Salmon roll (very good but very spicy) and a Shiso Fine roll (good). Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the food.

My husband and I have been to Pacific Catch three times (and once for take-out) in the time that it has been open. We have been drawn to the impeccable service (this last time with Zach), the beautiful atmosphere and the really reasonable price structure. The food is also delicious, which also helps us return. We are so thankful that Pacific Catch is an easy walk or bike from us and plan to return again and again! Each time we've gone we've ordered the ceviche trio (it is a must). They are all beautifully seasoned and well presented. This last time, however, we felt that the Peruvian cerviche was a bit too oily. The taste was still good, though. We've generally ordered the fish specials or the rice bowls. Each time we've ordered those dishes, we've been very pleased. Super yum! We have ordered a few of the sushi rolls, but we have found them to be too sweet. Just not our preferred taste... Overall, a total HIT and no miss. We will be back, and look forward to our visit, because the service is really second to none! Well done, Pacific Catch.

Being a health conscious individual from L.A. where the fried fish tacos rule, which btw I immensely enjoyed throughout my less healthier days. This has become my ONLY GO-TO place for grilled salmon tacos! My preference is for a lil heat, so I prefer to get them served chicken style with their chipotle sauce ;) I also love their salads with their light creamy miso dressing. I always opt for a side salad instead of fries and they serve it with a lil cup of black beans, yum! Asian fusion food isn't my preferred cup of tea but the fish is always fresh and boy oh boy if they can accommodate for the queen of substituting food items, than you know their customer service is fabulous! Once they even made my special order salmon tacos in the wrong style and they remade my entire order and took it off my bill! Wow...Pacific Catch...I'm so glad you're in my life!

I have to say I am surprised that there are some not so great reviews on here. My husband and I tried it this week for the first time and really thought it was GREAT! The hostesses at the front left a bit to be desired though I will admit. When I walked in I was told well its a 45 min wait, do you really want to wait?? Um well yea I do actually. So then we got a pager. But in the meantime noticed that the bar was available. The bartenders were awsome, Tony and Justin took amazing care of us. Drinks are fun, I had a yummy guava vodka cocktail with fresh guava puree and mint. My husband went for Tangerine Beer which for him trumped blue moon! We started with the "rising sun" rolls, yummy and love that its wrapped in ahi and not seaweed. Also had the grilled artichoke, which was also great and the aoli they serve with it was a perfect accompaniment. We moved on to the taco platter and grilled swordfish which was the special. Tacos were all good, had mahi mahi and cabo shrimp. The swordfish was cooked PERFECTLY and the sauce was good and not overdone. We ended with the chocolate macadamia nut brownie sundae!!! OMG and the special ice cream of the night was banana walnut so we subbed that for plain ole vanilla was sooo good!! They also have terrific coffee and its french press, the only way to have coffee for me! We will definately be back!

I love that this place is within walking distance to my apartment. The ahi poke Japanese Wasabi bowl was delicious! The serving size was very generous and the flavors combined made by tastebuds do the happy dance! I've also tried the seared ahi version of the same dish and I can't tell which one I like better. What can I say? Love them both!

A much needed addition to Campbell's tired Pruneyard! The starter, Peruvian Ceviche is one of my BEST ceviche experiences. (Sad but true.) The purple potato chips add an awesome creative crunch. I seriously can't seem take my chubby mind off of this dish! Another favorite highlight are the assorted Asian bowls offered. Korean bbq, Wasabi, Hawaiian teriyaki. The bowls are filled with veggies and rice and my piece of salmon was cooked perfectly. A nice perk for newbies who check-in on 4square- free basket of their AMAZING sweet potato fries. The prices are very fair and the environment lively. Be sure to make a reservation if you are having dinner as they will seat you right away! I'll be returning again... and again... and again.

A few years ago, we ventured out to SF (Marina neighborhood) and tried Pacific Catch for lunch. We had an awesome experience and decided to re-live it in Campbell over the weekend. Unfortunately, we were utterly disappointed. Many changes were made to the menu, including the addition of various offerings. You know the saying, "there are a lot of knives in the drawer, but none of them are sharp?" Basically, Pacific Catch added a bunch of knives to their drawer and each of them are just as dull as a spoon. We ordered the sweet potato fries, macadamia nut poke, mixed basket (fried shrimp, oysters and fish), tempura shrimp roll and a side of broccolini. The sweet potato fries were decent, but nothing spectacular. The poke had good flavor, but did not use the highest grade of ahi tuna. I would also suggest that they chop the ahi into smaller pieces so that I wouldn't have felt like I was eating a piece of sashimi. My boyfriend was very disappointed with the mixed basket as it lacked flavor. Some people may think that as long as something's fried and dipped in sauce, you don't need much seasoning. They can go jump off a bridge. The batter should always be seasoned and/or the item being fried should be seasoned/marinated. And remember the esurance gas station sushi commercials? That's what the tempura shrimp roll tasted like. The rice was mushy and lacked vinegar/sugar. The overall flavor was just very discombobulated with a sweet teriyaki-wannabe sauce, spicy shisho leaf and bland shrimp tempura. The broccolini was alright, but it's pretty difficult to mess that up. I give this place two stars because we were able to sit in lovely shaded outdoor patio area with our dogs. We may or may not return to check out the bar area and catch a game or two.

The portions are huge. The ambiance is nice. The price is great. BUT, the food is mediocre. Ordered the korean sticky ribs with rice bowl dish and the tacos. The tacos didn't have any flavor and was bland. The korean sticky ribs was way too sweet.

This place was awesome!! Found it on Yelp while traveling through the area. Got a table right away and the waiter was very attentive! i had a blood orange margarita that was delicious. Food came out very fast and was amazing!! My dish was the garlic and wine sauce shrimp over mashed potatoes and a spinach salad and my dad ordered the mahi-mahi. We were both very pleased and will return to Pacific Catch when back in the area! definitely one to try out.

It's okay. We had the ceviche sampler for appetizer. I had the fish taco plate and my SO had the salmon sandwich. Service was a bit slower even though we came in early at 6:30PM. Parking was difficult because it is always busy at the Pruneyard. Fish is okay and decently fresh, but it wasn't anything mind-blowing, or maybe I'm just not a seafood connoisseur. We went out of the way to come here. If we live close by, we might consider coming again, but we rather frequent other places closer to home.

The restaurant opened last year in the Pruneyard Shopping Center, Campbell CA. The hubby and I tried it out for the 1stx last week b4 catching a flick at Camera 7. We elected to bring a bottle of our own wine. There was a bit of a wait on a Sat night. They do take reservations so I highly recommend that. We sat at the bar watching the Sharks game and had some appetizers. I ordered a bloody mary...I've tasted better. The bartender James was very friendly. He opened our wine for us and checked in with us regularly. (Note: corkage fee $10. very affordable.) Finally, after 45 mins of wait, we had to decide whether we should have our dinner at the bar because we needed to catch a movie. James was very kind to leave his post and check on our wait. He promptly reported that we were the next party so we decided to close the bar tap. Then we proceeded to wait another 10 mins. Sensing our unease, he leaves his post again w/o our urging to check for us. When he returned, he promptly showed us to a booth nearby so we could still have a view to the Shark's game and moved all of our stuff for us. What service. Our new wait person, Tamara was equally attentive. Due to our time constraints, we asked that our check be provided as soon as the main course is served. She regularly updated on our main course status and refilled our glasses. When our meal was served, she made sure she topped off everything and promptly place the check on the table and told us we still had 45 mins b4 our movie time. Then 10 mins till, she came by and gently nudge us of our time because we were so into our Shark's game. So we hurried and left...Yes. we paid and tipped her well. I was so impressed with their service I forgot to talk about the food. No worries, the food is very tasty. The husband order the pan Asian bowl with teriyaki salmon and veggies. I order the whole dungeons crab with garlic noodle. YUMMMMMM...the roasted crab was garlicky so was the noodle. Yes....you have to get dirty, but that is to be expected when you order such a dish so THERE. My hubby enjoyed his pan Asian bowl. Very well balance and not over sauced which happens often in other "Americanized" restaurants. Price is very good as there are things on the menu for all price pt. Food quality is excellent. Hubby and I will be regulars for sure. It's a nice addition to the Pruneyard.

Just discovered Pacific Catch about a month ago and I'm obsessed! The BBQ korean sticky ribs amazing! The sushi appetizers are great... I usually get one for my meal! The entree rice bowls are very good. They come with a lot of food (two meals for me) at a great price. I love love love the fact that they give you pretzel gold fishes to start in lieu of bread. Great kids menu as well! Great family night and date night spot!

I think the fish is all right, too salty. Last time I went I got the Mahi Mahi tacos...the fish was half fat and my husband and I both got sick...we haven't been back since and most likely won't go anytime soon. They do have a decent wine selection. Ambiance outside is nice, inside is OK....

Food is really good. Service is still new and nervous. Pacific Rim flavors and influence makes for good seafood. I would recommend this place if you want some good fish n chips or other seafood basics, i.e. crab melts, ahi tuna salads, california rolls, shrimp louie salads...etc. They have a limited gluten-free menu but they are GF conscious and they do carry GF soy sauce.

Things I love about this place: Complimentary sparkling water, the spicy passionfruit martini, and their Vietnamese steak sandwich that comes with yummy coleslaw and sweet potato fries (ask for the ginger wasabi dipping sauce!). I'm also fond of their ceviche trio and island tacos. Mmmm... can't wait to return!

I have are here on multiple occasions. I really like their bowls. I have had the Thai curry and Korean bbq bowls and not been disappointed. I had the salmon salad and it was okay. The service is great and I love the atmosphere. One time when the service was a little slow they gave us a complimentary calamari. I enjoy this restaurant and would recommend it to others.

We had a great time here! Our server, Sarah, was fantastic! She was very friendly and on top of everything. We were celebrating a few special occasions so we really appreciated her attentiveness. We tried the Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" for desert and they were delicious!!! The food was good, but a little over priced for the quality.

Overall, I enjoyed the food over at Pacific Catch. It was the first time that I had ventured into the restaurant for lunch. We ordered the Sushi Grade Ahi Salad, the Hawaiian Ono, and another dish with miso sauce atop the fish (I totally had forgotten the name of the dish). The Sushi Grade Ahi with soy wasabi vinaigrette was filled with crisp lettuce, sprouts, and small pieces of Ahi. The soy-wasabi vinaigrette complemented the greens and ahi VERY well. The salad was very refreshing and tasty to the palate without an overpowering vinaigrette flavor. The Hawaiian Ono was okay. The fish itself was a bit chewy, but flavorful with the curry sauce. The eggplant that came with the dish was a bit dry to me without any flavor. Perhaps it was to complement the fish? I think they should've drizzled some olive oil or a little bit of salt on top maybe. The other dish that we had was one of their lunch special (I had forgotten its name) that had miso sauce on top of the fish. It was indeed very flavorful with the sauce. The dish itself came with white rice, a little seaweed on top of the rice, and a small serving of salad. The fish was cooked well and the miso sauce added a hint of sweetness to the dish. Customer service overall was alright. Our waiter was very attentive to us during our visit. He was very comfortable to talk to as he gave us some recommendations of the restaurants popular dishes and what how we could order amongst ourselves to be able to try a little bit of everything from the rolls, to the tacos, and to the rice dishes. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable and I really like how they incorporate pan-asian influence into their dishes.

This place is a gem!!! The food is delicious and the prices were reasonable. The ambiance was casual/comfortable and the bathrooms were roomy and very clean. We recommend: Peruvian ceviche Ahi poke bowl Miso Cod special!!! Fish or shrimp tacos Mango upside down cake fish n chips were just ok. The manager was nice and the waitstaff were super helpful with suggestions and overall favs. 4 stars because our reserved table was given away while we were getting drinks at the bar to a family with 4 kids under 7 (corner window booth) and we were on a girls night out. Boo.

I have only been here once but I am hooked! I came here with my friend Delanie the other week for happy hour (which is from 4-6pm I think) and I was very pleasantly surprised. I had heard about this place a lot so my expectations were prettty high and it definitely met all of them. I LOVE seafood and if you are a seafood fan then this place does not disappoint. I ordered the Sushi Grade Ahi Salad and it was bombbbbb! It was pretty big too but the dressing was really light and just all around amazing, probably one of the best salads that I have ever had. We also got drinks and they were really cheap since we came in for happy hour. I had 2 drinks and a salad and I think it came out to around $20 or so which is really good for the quality of food they had. The atmosphere was casual but nice and the servers were all really friendly and helped me out with what to order since it was my first time there. Everything I saw there looked really good though and the menu has a pretty wide variety. There were some appetizers and sushi on the happy hour menu too and they even have a section of the menu for gluten free. I will definitely be coming back here again, maybe even today since I'm craving that salad after talking about it. Alsooo like I said I'm not familiar with this whole dating scene thing (I'm more about the drinking scene these days) but I thinkkk this would be a good place for a little date action. Don't quote that though. Also there wasn't a wait or anything but parking can be a little tough so just be prepared for that.

What a great new addition to The Pruneyard! It's 7:30pm and I'm still full from the lunch we had today. We started with the Pacific Ceviche Trio - sweet, spicy, and tangy! My mom had the trout special. How can I explain her enjoyment of this dish?? My mom is tiny....5-foot 90 pound tiny...the woman never finishes her plate, but today - no box for her!! I had the Wasabi bowl with seared ahi. Big flavors, big portion! I loved the options available to customize this dish (brown rice, half lettuce/half rice). Our server, Lily, made fabulous menu recommendations and she shared some great information - I love hearing that restaurants are making their own menu items from scratch (purple potato chips) and knowing that the produce is local (Brentwood roasted corn!). I miss living in SF....thanks for bringing a taste of it to the South Bay!

Last night drop by there around 8pm (saturday night) still have to wait for 30 minutes for dinner. Hostess is very nice and polite. The interior Decor look pretty nice for a restaurant in suburb. These kind of modern decor usually you will see it either in SF or in Berkeley/Oakland area, not in suburb. So it score extra star from me. Husband ordered Mahi Mahi (ko samu style) in green curry saurce. I have seared Ahi Tuna salad (my salad portion is very big). Dinner taste very good and if you are seafood person, there are really a lot of good choice to choose from. The dessert menu is good too. Oh, forget to comment on the parking lot. It is on the small size, because it has theatre, other restaurants and Marshall. It is in a strip shopping mall. That restaurants employees seem to be pretty nice/polite/professional (beside the food is very good and fresh). Looking forward to go there to eat dinner again.

We came here for lunch and had the following: Pacific Ceviche Trio - consists of a sampling of their Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke, and Peruvian ceviche Korean Barbecue Pan Asian Rice bowl - a mix of green onion panchan, seasoned cucumber, shredded omelette, daikon sprouts, shredded nori, brown rice and Sticky Ribs Mahi Mahi Tacos - spice rubbed mahi mahi, cabbage, avocado-tomatillo salsa & lime crema The kids had the chicken strips with french fries and orange wedges. idk why I didn't substitute their fries for the sweet potato fries. OH well, next time. Sparkling water was complimentary, as well as the little plate of peeled edemame and goldfish crackers. Their tropical tea iced tea is thirst quenching. Love the restaurant's decor! The kids loved the chalkboard and different colored chalks that kept them busy, but mommy here did not appreciate the residue. Can't wait to come back to try their other yummy sounding dishes!

Pacific Catch you are a great addition to the Pruneyard! A new place to have lunch at while i work :). the service was great. friendly, attentive, and wonderful with their recommendations on their favorite dishes. I really appreciate someone telling me what entrees are well liked bc it saves me time in deciding. The layout of the restaurant is also very spacious. Very good for groups or those of you with kiddos. They have outdoor seating with heat lamps too just in case you want to get some air. I had never heard of Pacific Catch before so coming in I thought it would be somewhat like Market Broiler. WRONG. lol. More like asian fusion (although they serve peruvian ceviche?). The ceviche was pretty good. I think I like the traditional style better, I love the lime and tomato taste instead of the creamy mango consistency that the peruvian had. My Ahi Poke roll was yummmm!!! 8 huge sushi pieces, I couldn't even finish! I'm curious to try the Korean BBQ. I know it's most likely not going to be anything like Ktown but worth a shot! I'm excited to go back :).

Very VERY good ceviche. My personal opinion is that El Palomar in Santa Cruz has the best ceviche ever, but here at Pacific Catch, especially the Peruvian version, is so different and has so much in the way of fresh mouthwatering flavors/sauce going on, that's it's really a different "kind" of ceviche. It's fresh, refreshing, complex with spices and a little mouth party. Sweet potato fries were very good, and arrived piping hot, and the salmon salad was excellent. Mixed fried seafood basket, including oysters, was also excellent (never had oysters so very tender!!!). Flavored iced teas were quite pricey but very good. Service was decent....quick and friendly, not overbearing, but maybe a teeny tiny tad inattentive to drink levels. The hostess and servers are very casually dressed -- black polos seemed to be the uniform, but most looked quite faded. Employee's attire (our hostess was wearing a sweater over what looked like might have been sweat pants and UGG boots -- eeew) seemed to conflict and even take a bit away from with the very nice, clean, modern-asian style of the restaurant. All in all it gets a strong 3.5/weak 4 for me. Ceviche tipped it toward the 4 rating.

3.5 stars round up to 4. This is one of the restaurants I've been thinking of trying, decided to use my $20 open table check last night. We are glad we did, hubby and I had an enjoyable evening out. Upon entering we realize it's a fairly large place, we liked the high ceiling and the more updated interior. The hostess was pleasant; our waiter was very nice and helpful (he was cool about us moving to a larger table), the manager also came by to check on us; service was top notch. We shared a bowl of seasonal crab chowder and Hawaiian Poke; the chowder was spicy and very flavorful (I'd like it served hotter though) and Poke was good as well. Both were enough for two people to share. As a fish & chip fan, hubby had the 3 piece (actually got 4 pieces) and I ordered the Salmon salad. Both of our fish were fresh with great flavor and cooked perfectly. We really liked the fish and were happy with the prices ($12 and $13.5); wrapped up the dinner with some coffee (good) and ice cream. Anything missing?, perhaps some nice crusty bread. Will definitely come back again, this is a good find.

Starters: Hawaiian Poke - This was pretty good. The flavors of sesame soy was not over empowering. It worked well with tuna's natural bland state. Peruvian Ceviche - I wasn't a fan of the bright yellow ginger marinade. Flavor wise... well, it was a bit too strong and just odd to me. The subtle, delicate seafood flavors never had a chance or glimmer of hope to reveal itself when drenched in this neon gunk of a marinade. Sweet Potato Fries - Yummy, enough said. Fisherman Daughter's soup - Absolutely delicious. The soup reminded me of a simplier and less hearty cioppino. DELISH, surprisingly. I can eat an entire pot of it. Pan Asian Rice Bowl with Grilled Salmon - you can order with brown rice or white rice. They even give you the option of making it an entire salad or get half rice half salad. Pretty cool right? Rice bowl was good. Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae - I had two scoops and dear Lord, was it rich and sinfully delicious... oh, did it hit the spot! :) Overall, great lunch spot during work. Very festive and casual, trendy vibe.

My wife had been here and immediately fell in love with the menu so she had to take me. I had the Korean BBQ rice bowl with brown rice and greens. The meat was tender and awesome and the toppings were perfect. A bit too much sauce, but that's just my taste. The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than any other place in the Pruneyard, more of a Santana Row feel, but welcome in a strip mall of Rock Bottom and Outback Steakhouse. The menu was extensive with a variety of tacos, salads, and bowls. We'll be back. Gotta try the happy hour. Oh, bonus if you check in on Foursquare. We got a free plate of sweet potato fries.

Went here for an early NYE dinner. After my friend called for a reservation and was told they were booked solid until after 8pm but the bar area would offer open seating. Needless to say we were a bit hesitant that we would be able to be seated in a timely manner. However, when we arrived, we were immediately able to get a nice table in the bar, and the service was very friendly and prompt. Their menu of specials featured, crab which is my personal favorite. Another plus was it didn't smell fishy at all, which is a huge turnoff for me in seafood places. Wine selctions and appetizers were great, and overall the meal was exactly what we were looking for. Will definately be going back to Pacific Catch at the Pruneyard.

I had the Hawaiian Poke Wasabi bowl. The menu states in tiny letters that you can order the bowls with half white rice or brown rice and half greens - I went with that option with brown rice. Everyone at the table liked their food. We had the dessert spring rolls - which are delicious and easily shared. Portions are big. I had the rest of my salad for lunch and it was still good. Our server was attentive without stalking and she anticipated some of our needs - we had a 4-year old in our party (he liked his food too). All in all it was great. I'll happily go back to try some other items.

I would definitely come back again. We started with the calamari. It was ok, but nothing special. Probably wouldn't get it again. Also had a fish of the day special which was quite tasty along with three tacos. The fish taco was just ok, but I would probably not get it again. the shrimp and beef tacos were both good though. I would come back and try the sandwiches and rice bowls next time.

Srt Viperboi ..
wooow, i L o V E this place.,.my official favorite restaurant... i didnt know there was fish place like this right here in Cambell...what a G E M! ! ! was little confused with my first orders cause the menu doesnt indicate much but you will just get a feeling that you cant go wrong with anything here.. lot of their foods is prepared with seemingly great quality ingredients and good chef care... i came in with my brother for dinner on sunday night and we just had a blast... got us a beer before the meal and we like literally got wasted... hahaahaaa jkn.., did i forget to mention their full bar service is another thing to behold.. they have a lot of beers which range from 4% -8% alch. soo why not get a little buttoned..lool Amaazing service, really good Food, Super awesome atmosphere make this a easy "go 2 PlaCe" only thing i would reccomend if you are getting salmon or such meats tell them how you like it done.. my came almost Raw.. stil tasted bomb but i would prefer it more toasted or grilled.. then again maybe thats their signature or something, who knows*** 5 STARS for everything here *** SERVICE is exceptional ***
This is the elephant bar of seafood. And I don't like ebar. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. For the price your paying you would think you'd get something better. But the worst was our service. Or lack of service. We had no waiter and the manager took our orders first. Then everyone disappeared. We pulled down a random server after another random one etc. it was Sunday lunch but come on - staff the place adequately!

This review is for takeout service only. This was my first time here and I thought the food and service were pretty good. Pros: The gal who took my order was super friendly and my order was ready as promised when I arrived. I had the steak tacos and would definitely order it again. The flavor was good and I liked the fried onions that garnished them. Others in the group ordered the Serrano Ahi Poke, and Salmon Thai Curry, which all commented had great flavor. Cons: I think the price is slightly higher than an average weekday meal but the quality was definitely there. The menu also seemed a bit limited.

I've given it two stars not due to the food, but due to the service. We normally call in for pick up; on 09/12/2015 around 7pm I called in to place an order. A young girl picked up the phone and had no manners whats so ever. She giggled throughout the conversation and was rude when I was placing the order. She kept talking over me and laughing. My boyfriend came in to pick up the food. There are two girls in the front that were giggling. I assume they are new and one of them was the one I spoken too. I wish I got her name because she should of been called out by her unprofessionalism. I hope I never have to deal with her again because I like coming here for the food even though the food has been lacking quality now compared to past visits.

I came here for dinner the other night with a girl friend. I was surprised by the limited menu and the lackluster service. I was all set to order a sushi roll but they didn't have soy paper so I went with the shrimp tacos. Asked for a side of thousand island dressing but they didn't have that either. Thousand Island is one of the sauces that compliments seafood perfectly. How can a seafood restaurant not have it? It's also made with 3 basic ingredients I would expect every restaurant to have on hand anyway. I wonder if our server didn't like me after that. We got our drinks, our food came out pretty quickly and then I ran out of soda and she passed our table several times without noticing or acknowledging us. I finally had to speak out and call her over to ask for a soda refill (I'd also purchased a $10 mixed drink (which IMO was very small) so it wasn't like we were being stingy in ordering drinks). Food was okay. Would have been better if they had the things I wanted. Once we were done with our meal, our server was no where to be seen. We waited and waited and finally we went up to the front host stand. "Thank you for coming!" the young lady cheerfully said. "Oh, we're trying to pay... we haven't seen our server in ages." I say. Then I look to the right of the hostess and there is our server, on the phone. I felt really embarrassed. She looked really mad. I don't know what was going on but we didn't get good service and the food was just okay. Shrimp were very flavorful, tender and juicy though so that was nice. My friend Chris ate here (see his review) and didn't like his shrimp tacos because they were drowning in sauce. I got mine without any sauce and the shrimp were very good. I think I had lettuce instead of cabbage and that was better too - it was a mixed baby greens or something. Anyway, I might return if I'm in the area. They're open until 11PM so that's a plus, but if there's somewhere else I can go I'll probably try a new restaurant.

Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cleanliness: 4.75 I've had shrimp or prawns on my mind for days. A girl can only have so many vegetarian or vegan meals before her appetite turns into that of a ravenous rainbow shark. Yep. That's how I felt tonight. I was on my way home and my stomach took over. All the sudden I was ordering a couple shrimp tacos a la carte over the phone at Pacific Catch. When I arrived for pick up fifteen minutes later, there were masses of people lined up around the building. I was beaming with joy and glowing from the heat all at once. I knew all those starved, overheated people probably had an hour or more wait ahead of them and my shrimp tacos were about to be in hand. Woo hoo. As soon as I got to a cozy table to eat my tacos, I was oohing and awing from how incredibly tasty these tacos were. Shrimp so perfect and crunchy with three per small corn tortilla. Just enough extra toppings (shredded cabbage, a touch of lime, a touch of sauce) that I could fit the taco in my mouth fully with each bite. Those people waiting for their tables another hour to hour and a half were not crazy. They have every reason in the world to wait. Amazing food. Impeccable quality! Enjoy!

Came here for a double date night on a Friday. The food was good but don't get the sushi rolls. They were bad.. We got the trio poke appetizer. The salmon and ahi were my favorite! For entree, I got one of their rice bowls with the grilled salmon. That was REALLY good but the portion was HUGE. It's like an entire rice cooker full of rice in that bowl! So I wasted a lot of rice.. My boyfriend got the tacos which he really liked. The steak ones were his favorite. We also got dessert. The mochi with fondue dip is a MUST. As for the price, we all had one drink each, shared 2 appetizers, all had our own entrees, and 2 desserts and it ended up being about $80/couple. Not too shabby. Note: Make reservations in advance! We made reservations only a few days prior to Friday and there was only 7:45pm left. Also, the parking was crazy. We had to park on the other side of the plaza and walk over.

My friend and I popped over here to satisfy our craving for poke. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of poke options here in the South Bay but we hit the jackpot at Pacific Catch! We were there on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and were seated quickly with our menus. We tried the Ahi Serrano poke and the taco plate ( I think this is just available on their lunch menu). The food came out quite quickly and our server was great in making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The Ahi Serrano poke was delicious and we both enjoyed the crispy and verrrry spicy kick from the serrano chilies. Since the ahi tuna is coated in a creamy aoli., it cools down the spice. I knocked a star off because the tuna was chopped into rather large pieces; I think smaller pieces would've made it easier to eat. I also liked the wonton chips that come with the poke. If you want a full poke bowl, you can order poke on top of their pan-asian rice bowls. The tacos were also pretty big and avocado was piled high on them (win!); they also came with a side that you got to choose--fries or side salad. A really great sized entree. Also, if it's a nice day, I would take advantage of their nice outdoor seating. The patio is covered but you get a good breeze since the area is open. Overall, a fan of this place and glad I have a spot to get poke.

As part of a chain, this Pacific Catch looks and feels more or less identical to the other locations that I've been to. Decor is simple and clean. This time as part of the salmon season, I had a cedar plank roasted salmon with corn relish and sweet potato puree. This was just okay. The fish didn't pick up enough of the wood/smoke flavor and was slightly overdone...not enough to send back but just enough to be a nuisance. The portion was fair. The service, as it has been at every PC I've been to, was top notch. Very friendly, prompt, attentive and courteous. I'd come back for sure.

Nice regional chain upscale seafood restaurant. Located in an outdoor mall with many other dinning choices, Pacific Catch stands out as an excellent seafood option. Here for a working lunch last week with my Boss and his Boss. I found the location very clean, well staffed, abundant shared parking, and having comfortable and spacious seating. The food was excellent, but a little bland, I had ordered the shrimp tacos and found them prepared carefully, but smothered in sour cream and other sauces and a little heavy on the cabbage. Still good, just a little bland. The sparkling lemonade was also a nice touch but prepared very sour and almost designed to clear your sinuses; it was like drinking medicine. Overall a nice lunch choice, which will run you between $22 and $25 for lunch after tax and tip. Reserving my 5-star review for my next visit to see if I really like this place.

One of the BEST parts about visiting home for the weekend is getting to pop into Pacific Catch for some amazing, fresh seafood! So what do I love here? Start with the Ahi Macadamia Nut Poke. For your meal, order one of the rice bowls. My two favorites are the Mongolian or the Japanese Wasabi bowl. I always sub greens for the rice, although you do have the choice between white and brown rice if you're trying to keep it healthy but want those grains! I love either bowl with Salmon or Ahi. YUM! The bowls are gigantic and I promise you'll either leave completely stuffed or with a to-go box with enough food for your next meal! Most of the bowls come with steak and chicken options as well, which my boyfriend loves! So even if you're not a fish person I promise you'll find something you enjoy. My dad is also not a fish person but really likes the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich, Fried Calamari & Spicy Fries! Yes please. It is certainly on the pricey side despite being casual, but that is because you're getting quality ingredients and fresh fish. This is definitely a place to check out if you haven't done so yet!

After the great improvement I've noticed on my last couple of visits, it was time to update my review. I have since my last review been back to Pacific Catch for both Father's Day and for a girls lunch. Both times I received very friendly and efficient service, top notch fresh food, and overall just had a great time. The Hawaiian poke California style appetizer is soo good...the crab and the poke together is a match made in heaven. I have tried both the Japanese Wasabi bowl and my go-to, the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl, and they are both delicious. Drink menu is sure to please just about anyone, even a pickier wine aficionado will find something to please their palate. I do tend to lean toward the slightly sweet Hawaiian bowl. Those crispy onion strings have a special place in my heart ;) I have learned to order my bowls with half rice and half greens and it ends up being perfect, when it's all rice it's just a bit too heavy for me. I'm so happy to hear that Pacific Catch also works with DoorDash so now I can enjoy their fresh seafood without leaving the comfort of my house lol :) Will definitely be back and will definitely keep visiting as one of my go to spots.

I've eaten at this Pacific Catch twice and the food was good, but there are definitely better places to go. It's also a bit pricier for not as great quality or tasting food. I do give it 4 stars though because the service is great and it has a nice environment. I got the salmon special with mashed potatoes and veggies for lunch. The salmon and mashed potatoes were good. There were a lot of cut up veggies and somehow I thought it might be better with whole veggies since this was supposed to be a healthier dish. Although the dish was good, it wasn't quite worth $20. Not really sure what type of seasoning was in the mashed potatoes and veggies, but my stomach felt a little weird shortly after. I'd only come back here if my friends wanted to come otherwise probably go with something else.

It's been about a month since I was here and these were the only pertinent details that I retained: - they messed up my order of poki so I had to send it back while my friends were already into a good part of their meal - it was cold from where I was sitting- draft from the outside leading into an outside-pseudo area which is where I was seated - the trio of poki that I got for my meal wasn't memorable... so if that is the case, it was probably average - it was difficult to flag down our server throughout the course of the meal FWIW- my friends enjoyed their meals.

The two stars reflect the food = Overly sauced. Can't taste the quality of the vegetables and meat. Rice was swimming in it. FIVE STARS to our server = Sid, who was on top of it despite us being his last table for the night. He was top notch! Probably won't be back unless it's to recruit Sid for a job.

I like the on once here. The staffs are very nice and friendly. The food was great and the manager was very understanding. We ordered a side of seaweed but they brought out two so we told our waiter, he had his manager comped it for us cause they made a mistake. You should definitely try here if you have never been!

For any restaurant that is successful at duping me into eating daikon & kimchee (two things I dislike) in my meal, I give you props. Pacific Catch did just that and executed it well. I opted for the pick two Korean Rice Bowl: Went with the Sticky icky icky Ribs n Shrimp. I liked how they cut the ribs into riblets. They were easy to eat and the sauce is da sh**. I would definitely order them again. As far as the shrimp goes. It gets a thumbs down from me. They might have been grilled but there was no taste to them whatsoever. I resorted to mixing them in with the Sticky rib sauce to elevated them. The drinks were good n freshly squeezed. The service was good n our waiter was friendly n on point. One piece of advice: Order the Dulce de Leche Spring Roll for dessert. Wowza. Oh so good. There's a nice crunchy element with the pastryesque spring roll and the ice cream tasted like it was from one of those creameries. The Dulce de Leche was infused throughout the dessert. I would put it up there as one of my top 5 desserts of all time. It was a favorable dining experience overall. One thing I didn't care for was the seating layout. The table we were seated at was by the separate outdoor seating. As a result there was a lot of foot traffic by our table. Nothing can be as off-putting as people looking at what your while walking by.

If I could give 2 1/2 stars I would - and because I'm on the fence and in the end the food was my issue not the service and to me the food is the most important part of my yelp reviews, round down i shall. Overall, my biggest gripe was too little seasoning and lack of acid to balance out the dishes. We went for happy hour and ordered: Drinks: Overall just ok. Agave Margarita - not flavorful and a bit watery. Mai Tai - meh overall unimpressed. Spicy Passion-fruit Drink - best of the 3, good balance of fruity, sour and a bit of spice Food: Macadamia nut poke - definitely would not order this again. The fish was of ok quality and not seasoned well. White Poke - definitely would not order this again. Overall individual the ingredients were fine but the problem was it tasted like they were mixed moments before it was served and nothing Shrimp Ceviche - the only food item I would order again. A nice blend of avocado, lemon and cilantro with some shrimp Inside Out Roll - basically a California roll with spicy tuna on top, the spicy tuna was very bland. Sticky Ribs - cook on it was fine but flavor was very superficial, like they were cooked in the oven and brushed with pretty sweet sauce right at the end Service was ok. Environment was fine. Just don't think i'll be returning anytime soon.

This is a very busy place I would recommend to make a reservation before. I had chosen: California Rolls, Salmon Clam Chowder Soup (from the Season Menu) and Mojito (usually I'm taking Spicy Pacific). This is clean and friendly place.

This A-ok food. Service was great. What I ordered: the fish tacos. Fish was cooked well, dish was decent. I got it with sweet potato fries. My friend told me there Asian bowl dishes are good but I have yet to try them. I have been to a pacific catch in SoCal. So it's a standard mediocre chain restaurant. Food is good just not great

Haven't been to Pacific Catch in a while and returned this past weekend. Sadly, the service was something to be desired. Super slow regardless of being less busy than I've seen it. Took us 20+ minutes to get our appetizer of sweet potato fries (should take no more than 10 minutes, in my opinion) and we waited another 20 after we had finished eating to get our bill- only after I found our waiter and asked for it. The food is still great but wasn't my favorite experience at my past-favorite place.

Pacific Catch is one of those restaurants that I always drive by but never bother to check out. Finally decided to eat here and the experience was just ok. The menu is interesting? I feel like it's a restaurant that hasn't really figured out what kind of food it wants to serve yet. The menu is all over the place. They have a few traditional seafood dishes (think fried calamari and fish and chips), then they've got the Asian inspiration going (Korean ribs, Hawaiian rice bowls) and finally they've got fish tacos and sandwiches. I chose a chicken taco and a fried shrimp taco with a side of black beans and spicy fries. It's a little weird to serve fries with taco which leads me back to my point about not knowing what kind of food it wants to serve. The fries were my favorite thing of the night but they should be called seasoned not spicy because they were far from spicy. The black beans were pretty bland. I liked the shrimp taco but for a seafood restaurant I was not really blown away by the quality or freshness of the shrimp. The chicken taco had a spicy dressing on the bottom which made the tortilla soggy, causing it to fall apart and it was incredibly messy to eat. I also find it a little weird that instead of giving you bread on the table they give you a tiny dish of edamame beans and pretzel goldfish crackers. Like, why bother? It's so random and not appetizing. At the end of the night they were kind enough to bring out a complimentary dessert for my friends birthday. It was a brownie with ice cream which was pretty enjoyable. This place isn't terrible but there are definitely better seafood places in the Bay Area.

We decided last min to ditch our Kyoto palace reservations and come here for my boyfriends birthday. Walked in and we were seated instantly. No wait! Win- and after just a couple mins the waiter came over to greet us. We've had some bad experiences lately with waiting forever at places. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. Very fast, friendly and good quality food. I ordered the Hawaiian rice bowl with salmon. My boyfriend ordered the curry rice bowl with chicken and my son ordered the BBQ salmon. Everything was very fresh, and tasty. After dinner our waiter brought over the desert menu. We ended up getting the custard Carmel ice cream. This by far made the night. It was absolutely delicious! You won't be disappointed if you try this place that's for sure.

Always a great choice! I love Pacific Catch because they have a great menu selection. Whether someone is in the mood for sushi, grilled fish, chicken, or pork- they've got it. Obviously, they have a wider selection of fish, but their red meat and chicken dishes are just as great! The last few times I've been here, I order the Ecstasy Roll, which is a sushi roll with tune, avocado, yellowtail (I think), and lightly fried with tempura. It's awesome! Fills me up every time. They also have a great drink menu, so it's a perfect place to stop in and grab a unique and refreshing cocktail. Definitely a favorite in Campbell-and the South Bay!

I come here to get take out after going to the car wash down the street and they are always quick and the food is good. I really like the fish tacos and the chicken teriyaki. I always have to get the motchi balls too, they are so good!!!

I so wish I could score this higher. The whole way through the dinner I was agonizing over it and I left it the night to noodle in. Here's why the poor score and angst 1. Place has a great vibe 2. Wife had the wasabi bowl with crab salad which was superb 3. I had fisherman a basket incl coconut prawns, deep fried oysters and signature cod. 4. Prawns were out of this world fantastic 5. Oysters were super fresh and delicious 6. Cod tasted like a left over piece of cardboard battered and re-killed for the second time. So being a Brit abroad the highlight of the dish should have been the cod and it was so thin and so over cooked that it had no taste, snapped like a nacho and was sincerely the worst battered cod I think I have ever had (which is saying something). I tried to overlook it as the rest of the dinner was great but it's been haunting me. Ok so we will return and I hope I can adjust the score but if I had had the fish n chips which was where I was slanted, I would never return. Really sorry Pacific, I don't normally have this much to say but was beyond disappointed in the cod, that was supposed to be the signature and I was served a scrap from the bottom of the fryer :-(

I had no idea Left of Albequrque had closed! A friend of mine recommended Pacific Catch so my wife and I made reservations on Open Table. We were early but they were able to seat us right away. The waitress was quite attentive and made some good wine recommendations. They have a very extensive menu to choose from. My wife chose the Salmon Salad special while I chose the Thai Curry Rice Bowl with Grilled Salmon and brown rice. I was surprised to be asked if I wanted half rice and half salad. Out waitress highly recommended it. She said the salad is on the bottom (a bed of salad) and once you mix it all together with the rice and the curry sauce it's really good. I'm up for something different and she was right! it was good. Lots of food too. BUT, I got white rice and not brown rice. I had already started eating it so I didn't want to make a fuss and have to wait for another bowl to be prepared. Oh, and we started with the coconut shrimp (7 to a plate so you have to fight over the last one) and they were really good. My wife's Salmon salad was exactly that. Nothing too special but good. Would I go back? Yes, but not if I wanted to carry on a conversation with several people. It's very loud. Also, I am convinced parking is a lot better on the Bascom side of the Pruneyard so take a chance outside the restaurant.

My guy and I have been always passing this place but we wanted to try it out. We were not disappointed. We both ordered three tacos platter. I ordered the mahi, true cod, and shrimp. Comes with black beans and a slaw. All were yummy.

My husband, two kids ages 14 and 12, and I dined here on a Sunday night with reservations made via OpenTable. The decor, atmosphere (albeit too loud for my personal taste) and service was good but the food was lacking. My 14 yr old and I had the bowls which were 3/4 rice, 1/8th veggie filler, and 1/8th actual meat. For $15 per bowl, I expected better than rice, rice and more rice. My daughter had the thai curry and there was barely any curry on her rice. I had the Korean beef bowl and there was 5-6 small and thin pieces (1"x1-1/2") of beef. My husband and son had poke and rolls and they were fine...but we eat sushi almost every week so they weren't that special. One huge plus is that they use real crab for their CA roll. My son had the best dish - a spicy shrimp soup - which he thoroughly enjoyed. My daughter had the fried eggroll dessert (served with ice cream) which I thought was okay but she really enjoyed....she's a teenager who likes her food fried and sweet so she's easy like that. While many might think this is a cool place to dine, which it might be, we probably won't come back. The food just wasn't compelling.

Trendy little chain of medium-price, high-value restaurants. They offered us still or carbonated water in stylish, cobalt-blue bottles. Then, we noticed that they used the blue bottles to make cool light fixtures. Place has an airy, open feel, but noisier in the main dining room. Service is very good, on a Saturday, for lunch. The tortilla soup was mild, but tasty, and included shrimp and chicken. The California roll was fresh, and made with real crab. The bowls are generous in size, and are used for the meal-sized salads, as well. My wife had the Hawaiian Poke salad, and I had the Poke bowl. Our friend had a Thai curry bowl. The ahi poke was good, with excellent fish. The mixed greens were high quality, in the salad, and included a variety of interesting condiments. I chose the brown rice option for the bowl, which was just slightly al dente, and very good. My bowl came with seaweed salad, and Japanese-style pickled ginger. It was very good, and too much to finish, even for a big eater, like me. Our friend's bowl came with 3 skewers of shrimp, that were grilled perfectly. Plump, fresh, sweet, with good consistency. The dish was garnished with lotus root, sliced very thin, and deep fried. Ingenious, innovative, and a real treat. Noticed that the clientele was a good mixture of young singles, couples, families, and older folks. Pacific Catch is a solid concept, well executed. I'm impressed, and I'd go back, when we're in NorCal.

Ambiance is nice. We sat outside but undercover with some water flowing and fire coming out of the rocks on a cold day and it was comfortable and calming. The owner came up, spent some time filling us in on his restaurant and he had passion for what he was doing...something I look for. With passion comes greatness. We only had a short time to eat, then get back to pick up one of our children and they were on it. Served quickly but most importantly ... excellent food. This was about 3 months ago and my wife and I were going out to eat tonight so I jumped on Yelp to help me come up with a place. I saw Pacific Fresh pop up and decided to go there again and almost disappointed in myself for not going sooner. I also heard they have a fantastic happy hour!

Top line: Good tasting raw fish, outdoor seating. I came here on a date and I had my bicycle. We got a table outside right away and my wheels were within arm's reach- can't beat that! Now my date on the other hand... Well let's just say I got to do all the ordering (no complaints there, but you've only been eating sushi for two months?!??! Where. have.you.beeeeeeen???) Anyway we ordered the shrimp ceviche and poke sampler. The ceviche is good, not quite Peruvian style (how I prefer) -the salsa is different- and still good. The traditional poke is delicious, as is one other, and the third is good but now amazing. Then we had a roll which had salmon and tuna- could be spider. It was good and not amazing. I'm partial to sashimi anyway, you can keep the rice. Other than the raw fish noobie, it was a nice experience. The service is decent- server suggested raw instead of cooked fish- yes, please!! I wish they listed details about the fish source in the menu. Inside the restaurant I saw a board with some info. on the way to the bathroom. Too late...

Everything about this place is awesome from the decor, the food, and the service! My bff and I came here yesterday before 6p.m and it was fairly empty then but by the time we left, it was packed! We started out with the shrimp ceviche which was $9.50. It came with tortilla chips. It came out in a few minutes and it was very fresh and delicious with a strong lime flavor to it which I loved! There was a good amount of fresh shrimp in it. For the entree, we both got the fish tacos. You can get 2,3, or 4 pieces in it. It starts out at $12.00 for two pieces and for each additional one, it's another $2.00. I got the Baja fish tacos which was the fried fish. My bff got the shrimp taco that came with some spicy sauce. Since she doesn't like spicy food much, she asked the waitress if it could be made without the spice. The waitress said that it came pre-made but that she could ask for the sauce on the side to make it less spicy. The entree also comes with your choice of either regular fries, sweet potato fries, or spicy fries. It also comes with a side of black beans. I got the spicy fries. She got the sweet potato ones which were much better. Our order came out in about ten minutes. We both liked what we got. Her dish looked better since it had lots of fresh avocado slices on top. Mine didn't have that. The spicy fries weren't really that spicy and were just OK. Her sweet potato fries were much better. For desert, we got the caramel dish with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for $7.00. I forgot the name of the dish, but it's the only one with vanilla ice cream and caramel on the list. It came with some fried phyllo that was filled with caramel. It was delicious, especially the real vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce! The service was friendly and attentive. I liked the fact that a bottle of cold water was left at our table so that we didn't have to keep on asking for more water. My friend got constant refills on her iced tea. The guy who served us our food gave us extra sauce at no charge and explained to us what was in each one. The waiter and waitress that we got were knowledgeable about the food. There is outdoor seating there but I thought that we had the ideal spot in the enclosed patio by the water mural. I also like the fact that they have a large sink outside the bathroom. This place is in the Pruneyard next to Marshalls. Parking in this area is usually hard to find, so try coming here as early as you can.

This place was packed on a Tuesday night..., trendy, but loud. So glad that we got to try this place! Food - peruvian ceviche-has coconut milk in it, not authentic peruvian fyi, but still tastes good - fish and fries- if you like fish and chips, these were good. got the spicy and sweet potato fries-yum - hawaiian poke - loved it. absolutely delicious - sticky ribs-tasty, but a bit salty I want to keep this a secret to myself because this place is already crowded as it is, I don't know if I want to tell them about Tuesdays! The best part of Tuesday! Half prices on bottles of wine! Woohoo! Cheers!

So pleasantly surprised by how good this place is! Nice, big clean space for the restaurant. Really friendly service (our waitress Denise was attentive, friendly, and all-around great). Fresh fish & great flavor for a pretty reasonable price! The food 1. Poke Trio (Lomi, lomi, california style, and white tuna) --FYI, you can pick whatever 3 types you want but those were what we went with. Lomi lomi and California Style were my favorites. The wonton chips made it even better 2. Japanese Wasabi bowl with Hawaiian Poke - has a slight spicy kick to it. Ordered it with half lettuce/half rice and it reminded me of those Korean heddobap bowls. Super good, plenty of fresh fish pieces, and overall, a really big winner 3. Korean BBQ with Skirt Steak & Sticky Ribs --Overall, solid dish. Definitely not authentic Korean but still pretty good. These bowls are pretty huge btw. 4. Fried Dulce de Leche "spring rolls" - crispy icecream is always a win. The only dish I didn't like at all was the Baja Shrimp ceviche. Everyone raves about their ceviche but maybe it's a different one? It wasn't raw and it was way too tangy for my taste. Sadly, this one dish was a fail but the rest of the dishes were good enough that I'd still recommend this place!

First of all, this is NO place to go if you wish to carry on a conversation with a normal voice. It's very noisy. That was our first mistake The waitiress was, I'll say, most wonderful. Very helpful navigatiang the large menu. First of two appetizers, the Calif. rolls, were bland. And they had some weird flavor. I should have known to order these only in Japantown, or a restaurant that centers on that type of cuisine. The Sticky Ribs were much better. Our party of six sampled things such as a Chicken Terriyaki salad, swordfish, mahi mahi and the fried combo of fish, oyster and shrimp. Only the latter received any sort of praise. My mahi mahi was burned - sent that back. Again, lovely server was quick to wisk it away and bring that nice fried combo I eyed elsewhere on the table. The swordfish wasn't bad...but that diner had these strange potatoes served with it. I think there were skins of the potato mashed into the stuff. She didn't eat more than a forkful. Salad was so-so. That diner left 1/2 of it behind. She did eat the chicken, Like how this restaurant has lovely, cobalt-colored bottles of water on the table. Clean bathrooms. Sort of attractive atmosphere. But it's all about the food. In our party of 6 the consensus, was we will NOT return. We decided we can get fish at other places. And since the parking situation that nigiht was abysmal, we also figured out that we do not ever want to repeat the awful hassle we experienced with parking.

Perhaps I just didn't order the right item on the menu, but I thought the food was alright. Ordered two fish tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries were pretty much burnt, the cod was battered (didn't say so on the menu), and to top it off poured a too generous amount of salsa over the taco. Having to scrape off what I could, I would have to say the overall flavor of the taco wasn't bad but wasn't the best either. Hopefully, my perception of this place changes once I try their happy hour.

Great Seafood place for Campbell! We met some friends for dinner and thank god we had a reservation since the place was packed for a Saturday at six! I had the two mix and match tacos with beans and side salad. I got the Mahi mahi and chicken and it was soo good! Tons of flavor! Hubby got the Korean Beef Bowl and was very happy with it. The service was very good with the waiter constantly filling up our drink glasses and seeing if we needed anything else. Prices were reasonable but the place is a little noisy since it's so packed. Parking is not easy since in the Pruneyard so I recommend you get an early reservation on the weekend. Overall we had a good time and we will be back!

Went here for happy hour and dinner with my dad and sister. My sister and I split a thai rice bowl and a sunset sushi roll. We are vegetarian, so we really loved that we could substitute tofu instead of meat on our rice bowl (and you can also get half rice and half salad, and have brown rice if you want) and that they offer a veg roll that isn't just a boring cucumber roll. The food was delicious, and we were glad we shared cuz we were sooo full. Will definitely be back again to try more stuff. Service was nice, and considering it was a packed Friday night and we could barely hear each other talk, still had a good time.

This is a great atmoshpere for a business lunch. The seafood is fresh, the server are great, the price is decent. The rices bowls are a major bang for your buck. They will last 3 meals. HUGE! The outdoor seating at night durning the spring and summer months is wonderful. This is not for families with small children, the tables are smaller then many chain restarunts and you dont have much space between you and the person next to you.

I've visited several times and agree with the majority of the reviews. The food is pretty good (quite tasty), but not phenomenal. Because of this, the items are a bit overpriced. The customer service is on par with the food. Pretty good but nothing to brag about. I really like the location and the ambiance of the restaurant, especially their covered outdoor patio. They are very on top of things, are quick to get you seated, and timely on the food orders. Very consistent. You'll walk out feeling satisfied.

A solid 4 stars. The service, atmosphere and food are good. We had Hawaiian grilled Opah fish on a bed of coconut fritters and a lime/mango slaw. It all resonated originality of presentation, combination of blended flavors and ample portion size. We'll be back!

I come here at least 3 times a week. Love the happy hour/ drinks. I was very disappointed when I was told by my server that "Bobby" the bartender could not make make me another kiwi flash because they were out of cucumber. This is outrageous since cucumbers are served in almost every sushi dish, including their hit drink the kiwi flash. What also offended me was when I told my server the spicy pacific was too spicy only to hear the bartender Bobby speak rudely about me having the nerve to send back a drink for being too spicy "hence the name spicy pacific "she said out loud as I walked to the restroom. All and all I love this restaurant but strongly advice management rid themselves of snotty rude bartenders speaking illy about guests. I work in a restaurant and this kind of behavior would not be tolerated. So thanks again Bobby for ruining my relaxing night out!

Quick tip: Meh, seafood is not fresh. salad was big but lettuce was brown. tasted like mall food. Was back up in SJ for mothers day and found this place which seemed like a fit since most of my family are super picky eaters but seafood is the one common denominator. Made a reservation through open table, for the day before mothers day. Call day of to check if I could add my brother and his girlfriend to the reservation. She tells me she doesnt have a reservation but will go ahead and add me down for 5. We get there and hostess says she has me down for a party of three(basically my original reservation), she accommodates us as it wasn't too crowded yet. RANT: I don't understand restaurants that cant get their reservation services in order. Either train whoever is managing them better or dont offer them. Sat down ordered drinks and appetizers.(shrimp ceviche), drinks and ceviche were good but thats about where it stopped. Salads were basically one of those mixed green bags from the grocery store topped with whatever the name of the salad was. like literally ice cream scooped out of a tub in the back. My poke was doused in sesame oil. My mom got one of their specials was either halibut or swordfish but it came out lukewarm and looked like it had come out of a vacuum package with pre made grill marks and had been remicrowaved. I told her to send it back. Didn't stick around for dessert. If i worked in the area i might come back for drinks during happy hour but def not somewhere id wanna eat again. Guess LA has spoiled me.

nom nom nom nom. This place was a nice change up from the usual at the Pruneyard. They were super accommodating for a large party of 14 (which included two kids below the age of 12). The tacos were nommy.. super suggest those. I got the basket (fish, oysters and coconut shrimp all fried) and I ate the whole thing (super rare). The salad was also good. Service all things considered (busy on a Friday night etc) was not too bad. Disappointment factor: No guava alcohol free drink :( (I can't drink soju...can't there be a mocktail or something?) The nojito (mocktail mojito) was not worth the 3.50.... should have just gotten a soda or iced tea.

Well, the environment was nice, the service was just ok, and sushi was horrible . I gave them 3 because other guys were kinda happy with their food, but for sure not a sushi place, but nice place to hang out..

Pleasantly surprised! Thursday Date Night time and we are scratching our heads where to go... What is close by? Pacific Catch! The restaurant was pretty full except for a few tables and we managed to snag a 4 top for just the two of us to snuggle in (stop gagging). Our server (it's driving me crazy that I cannot remember her name but she was one of the best server's I have had in awhile; cute, short Asian girl with long hair, if that helps at all) helped me pick out a nice Sauv Blanc to start out with and J went with his usual Stout. I have been dying to try their Ceviche Trio but it just seemed like a bit too much food for us; so we went with the Calamari (a personal favorite of mine). It came with a spicy aioli sauce that was packed with tons of heat, even just a tad too much for me. I chose the Veggie Special Salad and he ordered the Japanese Wasabi Poke rice bowl. Both of our entrees were delicious and very fresh. J devoured his bowl, which had plenty of Ahi for me to pick from and my salad bowl seemed endless. I picked my salad based upon the dressing it came with, special Miso, and it was one of the best salads I have ever had and I also wanted to buy a bottle of their dressing. I highly recommend coming by just to try some of their signature dishes out, like their rice bowls and fish tacos. Smooth, loungey atmosphere and perfect service (for us).

Came here for a Sunday lunch at about 1pm. Wasn't crowded at all - casual but contemporary setting. New nice and clean. Seating available both indoors and outdoor patio. Small bar area with TVs so you can catch a game while you eat. Now on to the food. As the name suggests, its seafood focused. Had the Ono lunch special baja style - which means bbq'd with a nice spice rub and a tangy sauce - salsa like with a lot of lime. I enjoyed it. Sweet potato fries as a side are good too. Dining companion had the mahi mahi taco and chicken taco. Mahi Mahi taco had good reviews but the chicken was a bit dry (why would you order chicken here??). Other dining companion had the ahi tuna salad which was definitely asian influenced and said it was pretty good too. Definitely a good place to grab a casual seafood meal.

This review is a little late. I came here with a friend and her son about a month ago. I think it was within the first few weeks of opening. The decor is very nice. I like that everything is very open including the kitchen area so that you can see the chefs cooking. There's a nice partition that blocks the main dining area from the bar area which is great for the instances that it gets loud at the bar. Everyone there was extremely nice. Even workers that weren't our server was asking and making sure that everything was okay. We ordered a childs chicken teriyaki, chilli lime tortilla soup (the days special), some type of roll and a tuna salad. Everything was so so. Nothing memorable or anything that made me wanna come back. My only gripe was that our server didn't have much knowledge about the menu or the daily specials. When she came to our table to introduce herself she went over the days specials with a lot of "umms... i forgot..." After she left, we looked down and saw that there was a seperate menu for the specials and we could have read it ourselves. All in all, I'd be willing to give this place another shot. I'm just not exactly jumping for joy to come back ASAP.

Quality and service are way up again. I've visited 3 or 4 times since this review. The tom kha soup is tasty and fresh. The spicy tuna roll is freshly prepared and spicy. On my last visit I was offered the roll with TOBIKO (why yes, please!). Very good. Service was been exceptional.

Had lunch here on Thursday & it was so delicious! My mom was visiting from out of state and was very impressed. She got the 2 taco plate - one steak & one shrimp - and I got the lunch special of the day (ling cod!). Can't wait to come again!

I really wanted to like this place. Love the new decor. Drinks are great. Service is OK. The food is not that great. Been here twice. Tried the fish tacos. Gross. 2nd time I had the fish and chips. It was all batter and barely any fish. My friend's terryaki bowl was ok. Sorry I won't be back.

This is a great place to go after work with friends. We put some tables together near the bar and had plenty of room. Our server, Tony was very attentive and friendly, even though we were probably a pain since we all arrived at different times and kept adding tables. We had the happy hour appetizers. The fusion food was great. We had a little of everything. The drinks were excellent.

My wife and I decided to try this place out. We have never been here before and was looking for something new for date night. I am very glad we found this place. I can safely say this might end up being one of our "new favorite" place to go. I had soup + fish and chips, my wife had the chicken sandwich and we shared some sushi. Everything we had tasted great. The service was excellent . I have to say that you get decent portions for the price. And for those that like "spicy" in their foods, I like the fact that when their menu item says it has something spicy the food is actually spicy. Not like some places that claim something to spicy and blah. We will be going back!! My only negative would be the parking. The Pruneyard never has enough parking. This of course is not the fault of Pacific Catch. Even on a Wednesday night it was hard to find parking.

We came here tonight (Saturday) around 9 p.m. after seeing a 7 p.m. show at Camera 7. Recommendations by the waitress were good, food came out fast, and we enjoyed our meal.

I've come to this place for a birthday dinner and for a nice dinner with girlfriends. Thai bowl is great, as are their tacos. Bar is extensive. I like the different seating options they have...inside, outside, or in a screened in porch. Bit pricey, but good place for a celebration. Parking is kind of a pain in this shopping center, but worth it.

My boyfriend and I took my son here for his birthday 8/31/12, he wanted salmon, and based on yelp saw they had that on the menu. We arrived at 7:20 on a Friday night, 45 min wait. Ok we thought no problem, then the manager said or you can try the bar it's open seating. I told him it was our first visit and thanked him for that info. He personally walked us over to the last table in the bar and brought over our third chair. AND then apologized he could find us a better table for our first visit. :) Nice. We ordered California roll and all really enjoyed that. My son ordered the hawaiian salmon bowl and absolutely LOVED it. I ordered the salmon salad and it was HUGE, couldnt finish it but salmon was yummy! My boyfriend ordered the Mahi Mahi and it came with various different veggies, but he didnt ASK server to make any changes. So he ate the Mahi Mahi only and he said it was ok. We will definitely be coming back to try the ceviche.

Happen to walk by on a holiday afternoon and decided to try their happy hour 4 - 6 PM. Very reasonable pricing with lots of choices. Three varieties of fries (original, spicy, or sweet) for $3, several types of sushi rolls for $5, and finger-licking $7 sticky ribs. Highly recommend! Very attentive staff.

Excellent place. The atmosphere is excellent. The food is excellent. The service is superb. And the drinks are great. Our server Mike G was amazing!!! Now on when I come here I will only eat here if he is my server. He was always there to answer questions or to take your order for new drinks or new menu choices. He wasnt pushy with dropping the check off which I love!!! Didnt feel rushed. I enjoyed the shrimp civiche but nit the hawaiin one. The sauce that comes with the calamari i did not like. Calamari was great with the chipotle tarter sauce and the spicy thai red sauce!!! Cocoanut shrimp is tasty. The Tacos are great!!!! Their portions are huge. If you dont like seafood the sandwhiches are very tasty. If you go ask for Mike G. You will not be disapointed. Oh and if you call ahead you can have your doggie with you on the outside patio!!

Love love love this restaurant. My family and I have tried at least half the items on the menu, and every morsel has been outstanding. Every time my parents visit from southern CA they insist on dining here (and they're pretty particular people). The food tastes fresh and high-quality, and the service is usually great. The ceviche trio is a must have!
(5)
Lindsay V.
You would never guess this place is a chain. The atmosphere is nice, the patio outside is the best. I have tried everything from the rice bowls to their daily fish specials. The food never dissapoints and the portions are big enough, so you can take home and enjoy later. The wait staff is knowledgable and always friendly. Stop in on Tuesday nights where its half off a bottle of wine. If you are in Campbell, this is one place you should check out.

We went to Pacific Catch about three weeks ago. The restaurant is in the Pruneyard Shoping Plaza, and used to be the old Left at Albuquerque. It has been tastefully remodeled. Their menu is a mix of every thing(American, Japanes, Hawaii grill and a few Thai staple items such as Tom-Kha Soup or Satay). I wanted to be the safe side so I ordered fish and chip. It came two pieces of fish and French fry ($10.00). It's standard. My husband had a seafood salad which he thought that was fresh although he thought the fish tasted funny. The service was friendly and prompt. We will be back and try other dishes.

I have been meaning to try the one in SF, but it is always crowded. I went here for lunch and it was good, but that was about it. The food was tasty but they were a bit ordinary and expensive. Additionally, service here is slow so don't come here if you need to grab a quick bite.

This place is so good! Can't wait to go back and bring my girlfriend. I came here for lunch today with a few co-workers, we heard this from a friend and had to try it out. Pacific catch has the atmosphere, ambiance, great food, great staff, and many more. Their fusion style of cooking is what you typically see in SF but down here in the BAY! We had Fried calamari and sticky ribs for apps. Both were very good. Calamari's were lightly fried with lemon and jalapeno but it wasn't spicy. The sauce that comes with it has a slight kick in a good way. The Sticky ribs were very good, nice crisp on the outside and juicy inside, the sauce was to me personally a little salty but it was very good nonetheless. As our entree we had the Hawaiian poke and Fish and chips, MY they were very good, probly the best Hawaiian poke i've had since i've been in Hawaii. The fish and chips were lightly fried as well and very delicious. The poke is an appetizer but if you get it make sure you can share it with at least 2-4 ppl. This place is great, nice beer selection and wine. They also have happy hour and best of all their service. One of the best in Campbell, beats the crap out of Rock Bottom around the corner. No snobs or bitchy services. I will def come back and I'm going to tell a lot of people about this place. On a side note, i saw a lot of people order the sushi rolls and bowls that they had so i will assume they r very good.

I'm not a fish person., but this restaurant can change that. It has just the right degree of Asian-Island-American fusion. I love their Hawaiian Poke, I wonder if I ever will order something else again there.

I LOVE this place. It's great when we want a decent meal out (and perhaps a few cocktails), but didn't have the foresight to make a reservation somewhere. The food is usually solid and the fancy, fruity drinks are always tasty. I'd give it 5 stars if I could rave about the service. Haven't had any service problems, but haven't been wowed either.

Food is pretty decent. Ambiance with outdoor patio is nice. Service was quick and attentive. There for lunch and you could have shot a cannonball thru the place without hitting anyone...generally not a good sign for a restaurant...but it is well off the beaten path for business lunch crowds in the area.

We went for our 1st time on Monday night....AWESOME!!!! The Menu has such great choices and the quality of food was excellent....Elizabeth our server was extremely friendly, helpful and gave us great information about the items on the menu... We tried way too much food...the inside out california roll was excellent, sticky ribs...yummy, and the Korean Bowl with sliced marinated steak ...delicious!!! Can't wait to go back...in fact, I am having lunch there with a good friend on Wednesday!!!

We really like this place for lunch. The fish is always fresh. Some of our favorites are Poke Bowl in a roll, the BBQ salmon sandwich, all of their rice bowls and their veggie salad. The use of sprouts, edamame and daikon really adds complexity to their dishes. Service has always been friendly and attentive enough. On the down side, some of their sauces are a little too sweet and they tend to overdress their salads but that's easily remedied by asking for dressings and sauces on the side.

Fresh, fresh, fresh...yummy I have so far been in 4 times since they opened...I have tried the Baja Ceviche, Peruvian ceviche, the CA roll and a yummy shrimp special. The service was great the chef came out was super nice. The drinks are also really good Mojito and Margaritas, they use fresh lime juice. Plus they are a green restaurant...now that makes me happy. Check it out you wont be disappointed...:)

Went here for lunch with my cousin for the first time and it was AMAZING! The restaurant is tastefully decorated. I would give the service 4.5 stars because the server was friendly and i had no problems. However she never came back to check on us ask us how the food was after it was delivered and i noticed she wasn't terribly busy. But not a huge deal because my food was amazing! I ordered the salmon teriyaki bowl over 1/2 lettuce 1/2 brown rice. It was so delicious and i would say pretty healthy as nothing was processed or covered is sauce. I would love to come here pretty often the only thing is i live 40 minutes away, so i have to find a new excuse to come down to campbell more often! overall loved the experience and food, and my plate was only $15, so not bad! Parking is the pruneyard is tough though.

Came here while in town for work. It was an easy walk from the courtyard Marriott. Being alone on the road, I wanted a place where I could eat at the bar, watch some olympics and eat tasty food. I wanted something light, so I went with the Salmon Salad. What a great decision! The salmon was delicious and so fresh. Cooked perfect. The salad with the green beans and all the other elements was delicious. The dressing was extremely tasty and best of all....the fried salmon skin croutons were whimsical and delicious. The interior is really cool. Love the blue water bottles. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Great seafood. Very interesting recipes that aren't the norm. Went here for a graduation party and enjoyed all the food that we had. Great sweet potato fries, coconut shrimp, fish n chips, and beer selection. The bowls are huge too and full of different items.

Saturday, July 28, Birthday Event, 3 people..6 pm When the birthday Mom finds something in her salad, the offer to replace the salad was a good start, the apology from the manager saying that it happen sometimes...really then I am not going back... The offer then to comp the salad and her 2 drinks was a good start. It would of been nice to Comp the dinner of the daughter and father as they had to cheer up the Mom... I have been here 7 times and its hard for me to write this as this was one of our favorite places for dinner.

We chose this restaurant because of the number of stars, being new to the area, and we were not disappointed! The food was excellent: the calamari was crispy and fresh with a brilliant spicy aoli, and the shrimp poke was spicy and tangy. We both had rice bowls which were huge. It was nice to have half rice, half salad greens with the bowls. My portion of mahi mahi seemed a bit small at first, but with everything else in the bowl - grilled pineapple, crispy thin sliced onions (to die for!), carrots, mushrooms, peas, plus the rice and greens - I really didn't need anything bigger. My husband's seared ahi tuna looked and tasted delicious, and was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful in answering our questions, and topped up my iced tea without me having to ask. The atmosphere was great with a really good mix of people: seniors, families, couples, small groups. We came away feeling very satisfied and happy with the experience, and we will definitely go back. One thing to note: parking can get difficult at busy times so be prepared to hunt for a space!

Love this place! My mother and I went for dinner on a Sunday night... Having lived around the area for more than 10 years I never knew about this place! Thanks to yelp, we decided to try it out. First of all, the service was great-- I literally made reservations 30 minutes beforehand and everything was ok. The waitress was very nice and polite. My mother tried one of the tuna rolls and she liked it; I had the Hawaiian poke salad-- delicious! It was the first time that I tried a Hawaiian poke. There was a lot of fresh tuna/veggies mixed in an asian ginger type dressing. The Kiwi Flash was perfect with the seafood. Definitely will be coming back again:)

So so happy to have Pacific Catch in the South Bay! I've been a fan since dining at their location near Golden Gate Park. I had the Rising Sun Roll (Best Ahi I have had in the South Bay, hands down). No soy sauce, wasabi or ginger needed, each bite was perfect. Opted for a "Nojito" a non-alcoholic mojito, since it was lunch. Delicious and refreshing. Chef Chandon stopped by our table after our meal, who was a super nice guy. He told us about him challenging Johnny Knoxville to a wasabi eating contest. I want to eat here everyday.

Hawaiian poke wasabi bowl was super yummy and the dulce de leche fried "spring rolls" dessert was amazing! Would def make the trip out there just for the dessert! FYI: free dessert with your first check in on four square :)

I grew up on the west side of Oahu and can say that the poke is actually really good. Get the original poke with the wanton crisps it's delicious. The decor is nice, the servers were very friendly, but it get's really loud. A good lunch place or a family place but not a great dinner date place (which is what my wife and I went there for). The wait was 20 minutes on a Saturday night so not great but not bad. My wife's coconut shrimp were over cooked, we told them and they took them off the bill which was very nice, and my short ribs were also over cooked (burned) but I ate them anyway. Overall the poke saved it for me.

Great new restaurant and atmosphere. We first tried it for my birthday, a party of 20. We sat in the back glassed room and had Gabe as a waiter. He was great! He helped with the menu, gave some great suggestions and his service was on point, I couldn't say nicer things about a him. The only suggestion I think I can make about the restaurant as a whole is that the quality of Ahi could be a little better quality but it was still flavorful in the wasabi sauce it comes with.

Definitely make a reservation if you don't want to wait for dinner. This place was packed when we went on a Friday night. We had to wait about 35 min for a table for two at about 6pm. And by the time we were seated, the current wait for newcomers without reservations was at least an hour. We checked in on Foursquare and got a free sweet potato fries appitizer (very yummy). I love that they have a gluten free menu too. The Thai Curry bowl with Mahi Mahi was fantastic. And I love that they offer brown rice & even do half rice, half greens (which I did and it was delicious). The bf got the Japanese Wasabi bowl with Hawaiian Poke and Seared Ahi, and he also did the half brown rice, half greens. He liked it, but is not a fan of ginger and he assumed it was going to be more discreet, so did not ask for it to be left out. The ginger was shredded throughout the bowl, so he had to pick it out. Next time he'll know to ask for no ginger. The portions are HUGE too. We both took half of our bowls home to eat the next day. Great service. Cute place. Will be nice to go to in the summer with their outdoor patio too!

Went here for Father's day!! Cool atmosphere got there around 5 we had reservations they sat us immediately which was very nice. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because the serving size were pretty small. The shrimp ceviche appetizer excellent taste, loved it but I think only 1 person could eat that maybe 2 but not really very small for the price. I like how they had blue water bottles that was classy good touch. Service was good for it being father's day. The meal flavor it self well, it was good could have been better. Once again the serving size was more like a sample size not meal size. Overall I would come back and try again. Oh yeah I order the fish & chips catch of the day Cod. Good but small I should have order 4 piece instead of 2 piece. Next time !! It's all about the SIZE it does matter sometimes. Didn't feel full, felt like we had a snack not a meal. I want to try one more time. I hope its better. :)

The staff are friendly and the service is great which is why this place get's two stars. The drinks are strong and they need to be. We had the peruvian ceviche this was a sour, creamy slightly spicy not very tasty mess. It had lots of bay scallops in it, a half tablespoon of avocado a few tiny pieces of tuna that looked like they were end pieces of a cut (that hopefully went to a more deserving dish). All of this came swimming in a mayonnaise? sour cream? orange 'sauce'. It was not super appetizing. I order the ceviche for the fish; and when you can't taste, forget about see, the fish, what's the point. The grilled mahi mahi was cooked excellently. That is all I can say for the entree. The chimichurri sauce, was again, made with cream. They should have called it cilantro mayo because it certainly did not taste like any chimichurri I have ever had. I scraped it off the fish. I scraped some other random addition of sour cream off the fish too. (What is it with these guys and cream!). The sides were an overcooked rice and beans that were mushy and tasted primarily of red peppers, and a confused plantain. The plantain could not decide if it wanted to be a chip and crispy or just toasted on the outside and creamy in the middle. It ended up a tasteless hybrid, over cooked in the middle without being crispy. There was some slaw on the plate that provided no purpose. The whole dish was not cohesive in anyway. It left you wondering if the person putting it together just went, mmm, I'll add some of that, and now some of this, and oh look, that slaw might be good too. It just was not well thought out so the tastes on the plate did not meld well together. That coupled with poor execution did not make for a great experience. In the bay area you can go a lot of places for a well executed piece of grilled fish and there was nothing added or special here, in fact they nearly ruined the fish with their poor attempts at sauce. I probably won't go back.

My dad was in town from NY and my sisters and I wanted to have dinner before dropping him off at the airport. We had a great waiter, great service. He offered and told us about half price bottle night on Tuesdays. All the food was yummy. I had the daily special of Oapa. Super yummy! My 2 sisters, Dad, and brother in law ALL loved our meals! I recommend and go Tuesday night for 1/2 price wine bottle night!

We had driven by Pacific Catch a number of times, but never really gave it much thought. After looking it up on Yelp one night we decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. First, the atmosphere is really nice and even on the weekend the wait times are very reasonable. I like the touch of the goldfish and edamame, though my son usually eats most of them. We have been to PC twice now and between all of us we have tried the Coconut prawn fish and chips (with sweet potato fries), 2 different flavors of rice bowls with Korean sticky ribs, skirt steak, ahi poki and Lomi Lomi poki, and a special appetizer of coffee rubbed ribs. Everything was delicious! The ribs fall off the bone with tons of flavor, the skirt steak is as tender as a filet and cooked to perfection and the pokis were fresh and flavorful. We've been too full to try any dessert so far but the options look great. I also highly recommend the "Nojito" which is a non-alcoholic mojito that is made with fresh ingredients and is not overly sweet. Being pregnant, I am always looking for something good to drink, and this made me want to start making them at home. The children's menu also has some good options especially for kids like ours that don't really like the standard chicken fingers or Mac n cheese. Next time we'll try some of the fish tacos which all sound great.

My friend and I ate here for dinner--it wasn't busy at the time, but did get quite crowded to where we had to shout across the table to hear each other. We both had the thai rice bowls--she had the salmon and I had tofu. I liked the dish--it had plenty of rice, and perhaps a bit light on the rest. However, the flavor was good. I'd like to try another item on the menu next time to get a better idea...

Great Food and Great Service. Waiter was really cool and even told us that if you sign up on Foursquare you can get a free dessert for the first check in. Also told us about Punchh(that's how its really spelled) which lets you keep your stamp card electronically. Will definitely come back again.

Mike S.
Excellent food average at best service. We keep coming back because the food is great but the experience is pretty consistently compromised by lousy service. Went there last night for a family celebration, food came out cold and we had empty water glasses and the bottle of water they provide remained empty for 15 minutes. I had to go up to the manager and ask for water! our waitress was eating in the bar during our dinner service. Love the wasabi rice bowl with salmon, it's really too bad that they can't train their wait staff better and hire sharper people.

Janet D.
Their steak tacos are delicious, teriyaki bowls not so much, sushi rolls are pretty good, and our server Kelly was super great. I would come back if my friends wanted to go. There are much tastier dining options in the area, but it was a change of pace for me in the good ol' prune yard. Their spicy chicken chipotle sandwiches were a hit with the friends too. Other than that meh.

I came back here again, but this time I brought my mother along. I came here on 4/12. Here is why I give it a 3 stars again: We called for reservations and they had an opening at 8:30 which was fine and it was an hour away. We had called originally for the wait time and they had said it was a 15-20 mins wait, but we just wanted to be sure. Once we got there which was at 7:30 I told the hostess we had reservation and arrived early and asked for the wait time, which was the same. I asked if we can be seated early since the wait time was just 15-20 mins. We did not get seated until our actual reservation time. We waited an hour to be seated after they had told us the wait time was 15-20 mins. Once we finally got seated, they gave us an option of what kind of water and we got it fairly quick. Then we were finally ready to order which took awhile. My fiance had ordered some kind of fruit drink which we never got. We ordered the cabo calamari which was not too bad. My mom had ordered an asian bowl that had salmon, which was good, my fiance got the firecracker roll, which was good, I got the special where I can pick 3 from a menu; I ordered the poke, mahi, and something else I forgot. I got to taste all the food they had ordered which was super good! After we had finished our food our server never came around and checked on us like last time. They had a table next to us and even asked them if they needed anything. The server had completely ignored us. Even asked the table next to us if they wanted refills on their drinks. Yet, my fiance had never received her drink. Lastly getting the check even took awhile. Overall same as the last review I wrote. Food was super good, but the service is where they lack. I think I need to try a different location and maybe the service would be better or just do take out.

A couple of friends brought me to this restaurant for a girls night! Was skeptical at first, because I'm not big on Fish, but they have lots of options for the non fish lover. Food was delicious and service was great! Best restaurant in the Pruneyard in my opinion.

Chamin, Pacific Catch's Manager, contacted me about my review shortly after I had originally posted it. They did extensive review of their inventory which showed to me how much they care about diners' well-being. They sent comp cards to me which was very nice. I'm very impressed with how they treated the situation and commend them for their customer service.

I LOVE this place! One of my new favorite restaurants! The tuna poke is amazing! Everything is really fresh and tasty. I also love the french fries. However, I think one of the best things about this place is the atmosphere. I don't feel like I'm in San Jose when I'm here...which is great.

Came here for a bday party of 15+ it was nice to have a bit of space to the right of the restaurant for a long table. I had the ceviche trio sample with scallops, fish and poke. I have to say the poke was REALLY GOOD!!!! the scallops and fish were soso. I did have a very delicious pomegranate/pink cocktail drink there that I would order again.

Went there three times in a row, two lunches and one dinner. WOW! Welcome to the Pruneyard, and I hope you have a ton of business. I was impressed with the pan-asian variety and thrilled with the selections at the bar. The sauces are different and tasty, the salmon served well (but a little dry, understandable with the huge quantity they were serving on Saturday night. Everything else a dance for the palate.

Zoe G.
A current favorite for my husband and I. The menu has a great selection, portion sizes are good, and everything is very tasty.

This IS as good as it gets. Food-tasty and fresh and unique. Service-welcoming and warm. Atmosphere-relaxing and classy. So many great things to say but one is that they are one of the ONLY restaurants that is composting and recycling at the entire Pruneyard. I LOVE that they are focussed on sustainable efforts. Really love to support businesses like this one. Why doesn't Campbell make recycling and composting the law like in SF?? I wonder???

I ordered the ahi steak wasabi salad that literally tasted like sushi and sashimi. The dressing was probably the star of the show of my dish. It had a spicy bite to it which came from the wasabi. The ahi was grilled nice and had the smoky taste which was fantastic. My gf ordered the ceviche which was super citrusy but tasted great! The shrimp were huge and meaty.

Service was professional, prompt, and courteous! The food is delicious. We ordered fish and chips with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Fresh and yummy fish. Also, tried their platter of ceviches. Nice ambiance indoors. Outdoor seating as well. Definitely coming back for more great dishes.

Food: We ordered the Hawaiian Ahi Poke w/ Wonton Crisps which was amazing! This is a must try! We also got the carrot ginger soup which I wasn't a huge fan of. The fish and chips were okay, nothing too great. My friend also got the wasabi rice bowl, he also said he didn't care too much for it. As for the service, it was pretty difficult getting a hold of people. I ordered the lemongrass ice tea which was refreshing. The ambiance of the place was nice, i liked the structure of the inside.

Second time around: I ordered the Chipotle mahi salad (subbed with salmon) and to be honest, I didn't really expect much. The Thai curry bowl I had last time was amazing, and salad seemed like a huge step down but it'd be boring if I ordered the same thing every time. The salad was an extremely pleasant surprise. Every bite was bursting with flavor; the bowl is packed full of different things like avocado, beans, and this amazing sauce. I get the feeling that every dish here must be equally magnificent. My friend ordered the Thai Curry bowl with salmon and sticky ribs, and raved about how tender and delicious the ribs were, and how the curry was among the best she'd ever had. We also got the ecstasy roll, gluten free, which seemed to just mean without sauce. This one wasn't bad, but probably would have been much better with sauce. I hate dietary restrictions... but anyway, this place is awesome!

The ceviche and poke appetizers were incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our entrees had much to live up to and definitely did not disappoint. All were excellent. The manager, Rob, is personable and truly loves what he does. We'll be back soon. Cheers.

I love Pacific Catch! What a great new addition to the Campbell neighborhood. Our waiter/bartender, James, is incredible! He is friendly, knowledgeable and if you go there more than twice he will remember your name and more than likely to remember what you ordered which is a great touch! So my very favorite dish at Pacific Catch is the Poke - it comes in a huge bowl, it's super flavorful and it is served with a ton of tasty crispy won tons. That in itself is a meal! But I do always have to order one of the fresh fish tacos or the salmon salads - all the fish is delicious! Oh and try the organic agave margaritas :-)

Pacific Catch is a great place. My favorite items on the menu are the fish and chips and the tacos. Either you can't go wrong with and the sweet potato fries are absolutely delicious! Usually not to crowded either and you can get a table in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a relatively cheap, not to expensive place that has good food, Pacific Catch is definitely a good stop to make.

If you can stand the attitude from the host, Jordan she will give you plenty. Drinks are under par and pricy. As for food stay away from pacific Ceviche, a word to the chef Google the meaning of Ceviche. The food, mixed basket and the Sonoma style shrimps, looks good on the menu not on the plate and it tastes like cardboard box, I'm disappointed. Over all experience a 1 out of 5. Boo

I first heard about this place when I performed at the Yelp Holiday Hangover party, the Baja Ceviche was aaaamazing!! A friend and I went there last night, made reservations and were seated within 5 min (awesome). Our server, Raul (?), was so nice and polite. We of course got the Baja Ceviche, it was faaaabulous and then I had the teriyake rice bowl with mahi mahi, so much food! Didn't go to waste though! I also had a mai-tai and wow it was perfect! Loved it, would def go back and tell everyone about it! Good job guys!!

Family of three at 5pm Sunday night Oct 2nd... In early to beat the crowd. Walk right up and took us right in. Very few people in the establishment.. We left at 6:45pm...you gotta be kidding me. This place is sooooooo slooooooow... :( No explanation from server on why... Fish and chips, Thai rice bowl and a chicken salad, pretty uncomplicated staples. Early on the owner(?) was making a point to visit each table, for some he reason bypassed ours. I guess he must have known if he asked he would be told... Too much noise, ranks right there with Alexander's, Morton's and Home Town Buffet! Daughter liked the place, wife and myself would not return. Too bad, always looking for a new place for customers and vendors. Stick to Satana Row, this place will run it's course quickly at current rate.

Great food, but I wish they would bring the unagi bowl back. The Califonia Salmon sandwich is awesome and their fish n' chips ain't too shabby either.

The food was solid and well cooked, typically restaurants overcook fish (especially shrimp), but both the shrimp tacos as well as the salmon was done very well. Presentation wasn't over the top, but neither was the price, I enjoyed the experience and will try it again, this is a welcome addition to the Pruneyard.

Three decent fish tacos with fries for $15. I've had better in San Diego at a fraction of the cost. Want to try the korean barbeque bowl next.

Great fresh food! We had the Coconut Prawns, Spicy Tuna Roll, Crab Cakes and Calamari and I was very suprised at how wonderful everything was. The Tuna Roll was huge! The flavors were great and the atmosphere was cool. The seating was nice, everything was clean. The only negative comment I would have was our server was not well trained, and everytime we asked a question (like could we have more water) he had to go ask someone else. He did not know the different types of sushi and was not able to comment when asked if he could reccomend any of the dishes. He was also very slow, but we had time and wanted to try different dishes. I would say to try this place if you are looking for a great food experience!

Was so happy to see Pacific Catch open since this corner of the Pruneyard has been vacant since Left at Albuquerque closed down years ago. (Miss the frozen grape margaritas Left used to serve). The first time I tried to eat here I was turned away--Friday night and they weren't even taking walk-ins--okay, glad to see they're getting business. On our second attempt, the host told us to wait a few minutes, but then another couple walked in and he sat them promptly. I jumped up to remind the host that we were there and he admitted he had forgotten about us. Not the greatest first impression, but I'm thinking they're new, I'll keep an open mind. Have since eaten lunch here 3 times. The goldfish-shaped pretzels they serve are addictive, and the plate liners imprinted with old Honolulu newspaper articles are a nice touch. I enjoy the ambiance--it seems very versatile--good for a power lunch, drinks with friends or a date. Food: Steak tacos and fish & chips are worth ordering again. Crab melt was a big disappointment--very onion-y. My boss also disliked the melt. The pickled cauliflower accompanying the melt was so awesome, I'm inspired to try my hand at recreating it. The side salad with miso and edamame is also very good, fresh, not the tired ol side salad most places serve. On my last visit, on the recommendation of our server, I ordered the Vietnamese steak sandwich and it was "meh". I mean, I just couldn't help but compare it to banh mi which is $3 and super delicious. Pacific catch's $12 version was served on ciabatta with a sriracha mayo; steak was tender, but it missed the mark for me. If you're going to turn a 3buck sandwich into a 12 buck sandwich, it best be good. That said, the spiced fries are tasty, and the fried Dulce de Leche spring rolls are filled with delectable custard and caramel and served with a good ice cream. I'll be back to try happy hour.

Eating here was like eating at the mall. Pleasant enough but a little too standardized. I had the tuna Hawaiian Poke, essentially sushi-grade tuna with a light soy sauce accompanied by potato chips. Our server was friendly, helpful, accurate, and on time, but had that faraway "get me out of here" look. This space has been lots of different restaurants, maybe this one will succeed. It's convenient for business lunches but otherwise, there are lots of other Asian fusion places to go to and you should do that.

Daaaa---yuuuummmm!!! Came in for lunch last week... Ah-mazing! I loooove the decor of the place...We ordered the fish and chips (pretty good) and the mahi mahi tacos (incredible). The spicy fries are yuuummmmy! Our server was Daniel and he was incredible! Super on top of his game! Such a good time, we decided to go back later in the week! HOLY try the SUSHI!!! I came back for happy hour and was SUUUPPER impressed! If I could give this place 6 stars...I totally would!

I will start this off by saying I am not a big fan off sushi or seafood so going in I thought I wouldn't like this place very much. I went for a birthday get together with two others. Got seated right away and we ordered the sweet potato fries, they were very delicious. Our waiter was a character, he sort of was weird but in a funny way. I enjoyed his strange way of service you can say. As for I got the steak tacos, they were quite good! I enjoyed them a lot more then I expected. The ladies I were seemed to enjoy the dishes they got too. I am guessing they have a lot of good food if you like sushi or fish. Normally not a place I would go to again but they have a nice place and interesting food. They also gave us a free dessert since It was someones birthday, it tasted really good. I cannot say I would go back here much but maybe once or twice a year,, nice place just not by type of food.

I have been to the Pacific Catch in SF many times! So glad we have one here in the South Bay now. The food is always fresh and just the best. I went with the Vietnamese Sandwich this time. Very good. I still love the Wasabi Bowl, my favorite. As always, sweet potato fries are so great. Glad to see nothing is lost in translation and the SB Pacific Catch is just as good as the one on Chestnut, SF.

Had high expectations from the solid average review. We ordered the ahi poke and man was that bad. It didn't seem fresh and all of it was saturated in soy sauce so it was very salty and barely edible. My brother doesn't like to point out problems with his meal so I had to speak up to the waitress when she asked how it was. Her reply "I'll tell the chef." In hindsight, we should have just sent it back. I ordered a mahi mahi sandwich and it was okay. The fish was cooked well but I could have done without the avocado and the mixed salad just thrown onto the top is boring, messy and uninspired. Maybe they shine on other dishes but the poke was a travesty. The server didn't really seem to care about the complaint regarding the poke and offered no other suggestions or replacement for it. The decor is nice (despite having The White Stripes blaring), but the food seems contrived and service was indifferent. Low value for money in my opinion.

This seafood restaurant is a welcomed addition to the Pruneyard Shopping Center and it has gotten popular in a short period of time. For cerviche lovers, this is the place. The atmosphere is really nice and semi-outdoor seating is available. The food is influenced from both Latin America and Asia so the variety is very good. If you don't like fish, there are chicken and steak dishes to satisfy you.

I really wanted to check this place out since it was so highly reviewed on yelp and because it's in my neighborhood. Me and my boyfriend went in around 7:30 on a Saturday night and we were seated within 5 minutes. The service was good, we had a really sweet waitress that helped me choose a drink-- It was a cucumber cocktail that was really good. We ordered the ceviche trio which offered generous portions of each ceviche. My fav was the pacific style, the others were good but seemed a bit over seasoned and a tad salty. I had the ahi bowl which was ok. Again it was over seasoned to the point that I couldn't take but a few bites. My bf had the sticky ribs which he thought were excellent. The food arrived really quickly which was nice. The ambiance is newer, modern but still relaxed. I would try again but it's not something that I crave.

I really wanted to like this place... First of all, even though the restaurant was practically empty (Saturday lunch), we got plopped at the worst table in the place. I saw other guests arguing with the hostess about where they were seated, and probably should have done the same, but I figured we'd been in and out pretty quickly, right? I ordered the Wasabi bowl, after checking on the menu and with the waitress that it has no cilantro. And so, of course, it turns out the salad in the Wasabi bowl is mixed with cilantro. Bleah. Well, the wasabi salmon it came with was good, anyway. I managed to eat half of the meal, and then a large party came in and was seated at the table next to us. We pretty had to much leave our table so we wouldn't get bumped by the people milling around our table. So given that a large group was expected and the restaurant was half empty, why did the idiot hostess seat us there? Not sure, but I was really happy to leave that place. On the bright side, the waitress was really nice and the staff very friendly. This place just needs better management and a more accurate menu.

wow I feel like my we ate at a different place than the rest of the reviewers here. We ate here before Christmas on a Wednesday night. It was moderately busy. Let's start with the hostess who was obviously late for her second job as a prostitute. The dress code needs some ramping up . We had three guys pouring water , providing menus and overall hanging on us. the topper was the creepy waiter. Straight out of the Sopranos. I love attentive service but we could not carry on a conversation. The topper was when the creepy waiter buzzed my ear and growled , " How's that Mahi Mahi treating you ???" ugh get away from me !!! the portions are scant , they do not offer salads . In fact , creepy waiter scoffed at that notion. The food tasted fine not great. It wasnt super expensive but you didnt get alot for the money. With so many places to choose from , we wont be venturing back here

Found my new favorite restaurant but the only bad part is that a whole lot of other people found out about it too! Great assortment of food at very reasonable prices. Husband had the fish and chips which he said were ok but my tacos were WONDERFUL! i had the mahi-mahi and then shrimp tacos. Both were flavorful, fresh and and extremely tasty. Flavors were crisp and the best part.....not greasy at all. I'll be back!

YES! If you are looking for a great dining experience, ask to be seated in GABRIEL's section if he is working, we asked last night and he works on Friday nights, he is the reason we continue to go back to this place because of his honest menu answers and his charisma and personality, myself and my girlfriend love the food and the service. Serviche combo platter appetizer & the 3 Taco combo platter with spicy fries is the way to go!! THE BEST! I didnt really dig the Teriyaki bowl, so I stick with my tacos! p.s. the grande margaritas are fire too!!

I went here with some co-workers for lunch and we were impressed by the freshness and flavor of the food. Portions aren't large. We ordered tacos of dfferent varieties and salads. The price was a little high for a lunch...avg $12...but we loved the food and were completely satisfied. The place was new and the decor modern. They serve pretzel goldfish crackers and edamame for starters. Can't wait to go to dinner there with the family! There were so many other items on the menu that I wanted to try like the cajun mahi mahi.

The food is really good here. I ordered the trio taco plate and my husband ordered the fish and chips. The quality of the food is very good. My only complaint was that the portion sizes are very small and the prices are high. Other than that, good quality food and the place is lovely. I ordered the Moochi balls for desert. They were very good. Enjoy!

we were excited to try this new place in campbell as all 4 of us love fish and the location was accessible. we were greeted promptly and sat at a nice table where we could hear each other until a party of 6 drinkers were seated behind us and were really quite loud. we had the poke and calamari appetizers. they were good, nothing special and actually the poke really did not have much flavor and the pieces of ahi were pretty large for a serving to share which we were told would be a good amount for 4 of us. the entrees were good, again, ok, nothing super fantastic. felt pretty rushed by our server and i kept looking over to the lobby to see if they were packed with folks waiting to eat, but no, there was no one there and there were many empty tables. not sure why she was rushing us. will come again and hope to have a better dining experience and try some of the other ceviches.

Katie I.
Flavor was good but the shrimp was too small. I felt like I was cheated as they called the dish "Jumbo Tiger Prawns ..." I should have questioned a waiter or a manager as they were certainly NOT Tiger Prawns and very small. Also, fish was very thin with my boyfriend's Ahi Tuna sandwich. The price was reasonable but we expected more.

We've been back to Pacific Catch a lot since I wrote the first review. We were there Super Bowl Sunday and left quite satisfied...again. All the waitstaff have been great. But, i want to make sure to mention our server, Aaron, who has waited on us several times. He is courteous, helpful, very personable and accommodating. If you go to Pacific Catch, make sure to ask for the Frequent Diner card. I didn't know about this until I mentioned to the server that they should have frequent diner cards for repeat customers. We have one more entree to go and then get one for free. It's a win-win deal.

We happened on this spot at lunchtime on Friday. It was packed inside (30 minute wait), but easily got a table outside with no wait. We learned that this is one of several PCs and that it just opened a few months ago. It is a real find, if you are looking for a place to take your spouse on a date or meet co-workers and enjoy the buzz and contemporary ambiance. The menu is intriguing. We had soup of the day, a very light ginger broth with lots of seafood, wasabi crab bowl and taco platter. We even tried the garlic stir fried brussel sprouts which were excellent! Friendly service. A destination restaurant with shopping center parking. Hard to beat being near Barnes and Noble and Trader Joe's, as well.

After reviewing their menu, I couldn't wait to try it for myself. I was not disappointed. I will be craving the Ahi Salad for sure! I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy and not soggy and flimsy, but it didn't stop me from almost finishing off the plate. We were not greeted immediately. We were seated at a table with dirty seats next to the "waiter station" so it made it awkward for me anytime they came to use the register or stock up on chopsticks or napkins and the waiter would lean on our extra chair. Also felt rushed when he started to restock our supply. Just seemed like something he should do when the table is unoccupied. It was nice when the chef came to say hi. Good to know they care enough to read the reviews. I'm sure they'll only improve over time. Can't wait to return!

Kathy G.
Waited until I had been several times before writing a review. I usually get the 2 taco plate my faves are the pacific steak and Cabo shrimp. the sweet potato fries are sooo good! Another fav is the wasabi ahi sandwich. Good food, reasonable prices and don't miss the Macadamia Nut Brownie sundae!

I feel generous giving them three stars, but consider me giving them the benefit of the doubt... It was a busy evening, but we got seated at a corner table, and my date was a bit uncomfortable with that. And she ordered one of the more expensive fish specials (from Fiji - Ono?), but unfortunately it tasted overcooked. My 'bowl' was okay , but too much rice, instead of more veggies etc (since read in another review that you can substitute veggies for rice, or get brown rice, but this was not offered). And the appetizer (sweet potato fries) were okay, but I've had better sweet potato fries elsewhere... The manager was nice enough to stop by and check in before we left. He offered us some free 'moochi' ice cream, but we were not interested in any desert (we were full). Nothing was terrible, the service was basically good, but to be honest, I'd rather take my date to another place next time...

Good food. Fair price. Decor imaginative. Knocked off one-star for noise, clothes smelled like the kitchen when we left, bar was behind in matching drink delivery with food. Greeting sfaff needs to acknowledge patrons upon leaving. Kinda felt like we walked out of Dennys. Hostess looked out the window- should of asked if we enjoyed ourselves. Answer would have been "yes".

My apologies to all of those who reviewed the ahi poke bowl as being fabulous, as I am about to naysay their experiences. But the chef/cooks must have had a very off night when my bowl arrived. I ordered this particular dish because of the astounding reviews. The surrounding veg was ok and the rice was nice. But the tuna cubes were glistening not in a good way. They were shiny because they were rubbery and slimy. It reminded me of what happens when you over marinate chicken. Apparently, it was made fresh that morning. That is way too long to marinate fish. Maybe do another batch after the lunch crowd to serve to the dinner folk? I dunno, but it tasted gross and the texture was unappetizing. Unfortunately, you say it's fresh, why doesn't it look and taste fresh? How do I know whether it tastes fresh? What is my poke experience? I've had the poke special at Kaita in downtown SJ and that is fresh. I've eaten it at beach diners in Waikiki and Honolulu. That is fresh poke. The two stars are due to a very polite and sweet staff, misinformed, but polite and the fact that everyone else at my table was happy with their grilled fish dishes. For me, the allure of this new place to me is over. Sorry, but there are no off days if everyone is raving about a dish, it has to be consistently good.

I got the tacos. One fish, one steak, one shrimp. Overpriced and not much flavor. Disappointed in the food. Service was fine, but the food was just plain for what you paid. I would compare the tacos to Wahoo's and would actually prefer wahoo's next time...

Awesome environment upgrade from the previous interior isn't the only impression. Bring an Asian-fusion appetite for numerous small dishes. After years of experience in the business myself, it was clear that the wait staff is very experienced and compete with the best. This was our second visit since the recent opening. With an SF-sushi sort of feel, pouring some Saki, Poke and "Let's get Saucy" appetizers paired great. We had soup of the day - Sticky ribs and a side of Sweet Potato Fries with unique sauce. Feeling so well attended to, we stuck around and enjoyed some diet risking Deep Fried Oysters paired with a half bottle of Sonoma Cutrer. All was rewarding. We look forward to returning soon. The newer, local gem has great service and wonderful menu depth that will ensure you'll realize a second visit is worth remembering. Ours was.

We went here for my birthday and it was the best meal I've ever had. The salmon was out of this world! The french press coffee was amazing and there was a great selection of delicious desserts. Definitely get the bread pudding; it was my favorite. Warren took care of us and the service and staff was informative and helpful. Definitely going here more often even though I live in Santa Cruz.

ive been here before and gave this place 5 stars but our recent visit wasnt so great. first of all, i called in for a reservation and wanted a reservation for 12 people and a high chair at 7 or 7:30 pm on a saturday and the manager told me he couldnt do that time and that i should come at 8 because no one show up on time anyway. that response just made me feel that our time wasnt important and that we were expected to be late anyway. then i called back to see if we could up the reservation, and every time i called they would have to transfer me to a manager to ask if i could add more to our party, at the end of this mess they told me theyre busy and would call me back later to let me know if i could add more people to our reservation and they never did. so we show up early before our 8pm reservation and sure enough, our table isnt ready so we have a huge party waiting by the bar for 30 minutes. we finally get seated and i order the wasabe poke bowl as usual this time it was horrible. way too salty and the fish didnt even seem fresh at all, and i know these things cause im from maui. we finally get done and the bill is about $60 more than we thought it would be, so were like oh well, lets just all pitch in a couple more dollars and get this over with. so we give a bunch of cash and couple cards and tell the waiter how much to put on each card. he then comes back and says he put the remaining balance of $100 on the last card. were like ??? so we say there was no remaining $100 balance, so he has to get his manager and figure out what he did wrong. then the manager fixed the problem and we left. we looked forward to coming here and wanted to plan a nice couple outing for our training partners at our gym but wont be wanting to deal with pacific catch again....

sigh. First time i came here it was good and something to remember, but my recent visit was unsatisfactory around 2 weeks ago. I came here with a group of 9 i believe to eat on the patio. They all got nice drinks and mine was a mojito. It sucked. I make it better, my restaurant i work at makes it better. I don't like to ask for another one because I know how irritating it can be. I also wanted my bowl of food to all be seperated but they couldnt accommodate to my order so i just asked for the wakame on the side. They still didn't do it. I didn't even get utensils in the beginning and had to ask for it. At the end of the meal, the busser picked up a plate and spilled water or stuff all over my arm and pants. He stared at it, and then walked away. REALLLLY!? I think he noticed that something dripped so he checked the floor, but hello. ITS ON ME. dude. really. I came here before and wanted to yelp at least 4 stars, but now I see it. If its a little busy, the service sucks. As a server of a restaurant I have never seen this happen. Customers always right? ha. usually I add 20 bucks of tip after everyone put their tip in because I know how it feels just to get nothing extra even though gratuity is included. F this place. I'm out. rude. writing this made me realize how pissed off i was. oh well.

This is apparently the place to be in Campbell. It was pretty crowded on a Tuesday evening--I recommend reservations. My friend and I each got the taco platter; between the two of us we had a combo of mahi mahi, baja, and chicken tacos, and they were all really tasty with just the right amount of toppings (fresh avocado, yummy green sauce). We each ordered a dessert and split the brownie sundae and the fried dulce de leche spring rolls--DELICIOUS. But way too much. You could easily share one of these desserts. And the French press coffee was strong and good. With all that food our bill came to about $50--not cheap, but not unreasonable for how much we ate. The staff was all pretty friendly and our waiter had some good suggestions. It was pretty noisy inside and the tables seemed kind of close together, but on a night when they're not so busy (if there ever is such a night) that might not be much of a problem. I'd eat here again!

Another Pruneyard gem...I'm in love! Any place that I'd go to twice in one day (yes, that happened) is worth a five star rating. And there's so much good stuff to choose from...so far I've sampled the Ahi tuna sandwich and sweet potato fries (glorious), the Ahi tuna salad (phenomenal), and my personal fave the wasabi poke rice bowl (heaven). Everything tastes fresh and flavorful and hits every note on the palate. As much as I love the dinner food, I think I love the dulce de leche 'spring roll' dessert even more! The drinks are pricey (nearly the price of their food), but my lemongrass mojito hit the spot after a long day in the office. Top it off with a perfectly modern, classy yet casual ambiance and this is the best place to go for a special dinner or get together with friends. Everyone is guaranteed to leave happy and super full. I'd expect to pay more for these fanciful creations but they are priced fairly so you can always justify a couple special meals here if you are on a budget. Don't miss this!!!

Went there for lunch and had a nice surprise. The decor is really nice. They have a great variety to choose from and offer brown rice substitute if you prefer. Rice bowl was large and yummie. Servers were very nice. Food was great. I'd definitely come back. This is a rare healthy and nice option for the area.

Had dinner here last night with a friend. it gets pretty crowded but we were able to get seating at the bar so we didn't need to wait. The services was a little slow but that's ok because it give me more time to find what i wanted to eat. I got a calamari as a starter and the thai curry rice bowl with shrimp satay. The calamari was delicious. The rice bowl didn't have enough curry sauce so it was a little bland but the shrimp satay was pretty good.

I was expecting better food. They did a great job with the design of the place, friendly service but what I ordered was so so (special of the day was Ono fish), fish was overcooked, rice was not that great, and the plate was not very hot.

I went to Pacific Catch for the first time last night...it was fantastic! Appetizer was the Hawaiian Poke - Highly recommended. For the main entree, I had the 3 tacos. Baja style, mahi mahi, and shrimp. Very fresh and tasty. For dessert, I had the "spring roll". Again, delicious! Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I am very happy to have this new restaurant in Campbell and definitely plan on going back often.

We were quite disappointed with the dinner we had at Pacific Catch last night. THE BAD: To start with, we ordered the Hawaiian poke and the Peruvian ceviche. The poke would have been pretty good, except it was too salty (I'm from Hawaii, so I know what good poke should taste like). The Peruvian ceviche looked disgusting - it was swimming in this thick, yellow sauce and looked nothing like the ceviche we had at a Peruvian restaurant last month. My husband (who is used to spicy food) said it was so spicy that you couldn't taste anything. The menu description also said it included "fresh catch", which we took to mean fish, but there was no fish - just tiny scallops. For our main dishes, my husband ordered the fish tacos. He had originally asked for the sea bass special, but they said they were out of sea bass (What kind of restaurant is already out of the daily special by 6pm?). There was hardly any fish in his tacos and they were COVERED with this spicy green sauce - I couldn't tell by looking at it if it was guacamole or salsa verde. There was soooo much sauce on it that, once again, it overpowered any flavor the rest of the food might have had. I ordered the Thai coconut shrimp with spicy fries. The shrimp was very greasy (yes, I know it's fried, but I've had fried shrimp before that wasn't soaked in grease). It was served with sweet chili sauce that tasted like the stuff you can buy in a bottle at the grocery store and fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning to make it spicy (and way too salty). My husband said everything tasted like the kind of food you'd get at a food truck and said the fish tacos from Cheesecake Factory are way better. To top it off, the meals were served on these plates that are more like shallow bowls. Both my husband and I nearly ended up with a lap full of food when the "plates" tipped over as we were trying to cut our food with a knife. THE GOOD: My "no-jito" (a non-alcoholic mojito) was delicious and very refreshing on a hot summer evening. The service was also good. We didn't order dessert, but the couple next to us had the mochi fondue and it looked really good (though all it really is is pieces of mochi ice cream with a little bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping - it would be hard to go wrong with a simple dish like that). We had high hopes for this restaurant, but have to say we will not be back again.

got a fresh ahi tuna salad with poke also, $18. the poke marination was a little too salty for my tastes. soy-wasabi vinaigrette worked well. mainstream menu but went in expecting that, but can go for healthy items.

This place was delicious. I went with a friend last Friday, and we loved it. We ordered calamari, hot edamame, a mahi-mahi Hawaiian bowl, and a shrimp Korean BBQ bowl. There was plenty of food and the waitress was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for seafood fusion restraunts.

I cannot wait to go back! The fish here is fresh and delicious! I'll be honest that the Pruneyard is not a typical place I would choose to eat; no, I'm not being pretentious just true to my taste for food. A few friends mentioned they experienced great food and great service here and it was definitely a big reason I had to try this place. We had the spicy Peruvian Ceviche (scallops) as our starter...the scallops were perfectly tender, marinated in lime juice. My main dish consisted of the Ahi salad with the Hawaiian Poke instead of the seared ahi. It was so fresh, perfectly savory, and light on the sesame oil. The salad itself is enjoyed with a soy-wasabi vinaigrette dressing which is not doused with it. My companion enjoyed the salmon salad, and claimed it was gratifying and mouthwatering. I didn't taste his salad, because I loved mine and the serving size was quite large, which I didn't finish. The salad had a lot of poke in it. It's always a pleasant surprise when you have plenty of protein in your salad at a restaurant. The service was great and the atmosphere inviting and pleasing to the eye. I'll be back to try the sushi...apparently they serve it with brown rice if requested. That's a nice option...I prefer sushi with brown rice. Hope you enjoy it!

My husband and I went here for a date lunch and it was wonderful. We ordered the let's get saucy roll, ecstasy roll and the fisherman's basket. It was the best fish and chips experience I've had in CA. I thought the sushi could have been better because it lacked a little oomph, may the addition of a little spice might've pushed my rating to five stars. Overall ambiance was great, service was pretty prompt and polite. I'll definitely be back for the fish and chips basket!

Went in yesterday for the first time and was delighted with my choice. I got two fish tacos, a traditional and mahi mahi, and they were delicious. They sat us at a booth in the bar and the bartender had a lot of people to deal with, so service was a bit slow, but she was nice. Interesting music selection (and not in the ooh that's fun kind of way), but it was very relaxing.

This place was great, went last night (Friday night) for my birthday for the first time and had a great meal! Started with the Korean Sticky Ribs which were amazing! Then I had the sole and my husband had the swordfish. Both were delicious, cooked just right, flavored well, generous portions. We ended with the chocolate sundae which was the special for the night, it was great. The only reason this gets 4 instead of 5 stars is that the waiter was a little abrupt, felt like he rushed through talking with us or doing anything for us and didn't quite get my order right. I had asked to substitute the mashed potatoes on my dish for extra veggies and he forgot that.

Three stars off because: 1) Evenf the first bites of the first half of my small grilled mahi-mahi on the Hawaiian plate was heavenly to not miss Mizu, the last half of the fish was questionably not as grilled anymore. My husband loved the seaweed salad from his Korean barbecue plate but made the brown rice beneath soggy. The food in these bowl dishes were placed in a way making it hard to really eat. 2) The hostesses looked me and my husband up and down and suspiciously told us there was a one hour wait when there were approximately seven table available. The other available seating in the patio or bar were not offered at all. Plus, there was zero people-spillage in the waiting area this Friday night. When my husband yelped dissatisfaction, someone who looked like one of the owners immediately corrected this situation; however, leaving me very curious about patron discrimination. I should've picked up the cue when we were surrounded only by middle-aged caucasians in also average clothes and National Rifle Association hats. 3) Third star off because: come to think of it, the hostesses themselves weren't dressed well enough to match the hip vibe. We were never treated this way in places like Mizu or any other restaurant in Santana Row even if their general staff were better-looking, better-xperienced that Pacific Catch's. maybe it doens't help that I had just read my new book over hours at Barnes leaving me less than fresh-faced; and my husband just came straight from his very casual engineering work at Apple Cupertino. Perhaps, the kid hostesses are only limiting patronage from the small company workers at those buildings next to Outback Steakhouse ( or maybe suited young ones selling things at kiosks in the mall ). 2 stars total because the first few bites of the food was good. Decor was hip and relaxing. Our server (tall man with goatie ) had excellent service skills; runner was gracious; and busboy had good manners. Overall, even if I have chosen to keep my spendings within my own area code in the past two years as much as possible, the way the kid hostesses were trying to elbow us out was very offensive and made me realize that Mizu ( with the consistently great fish, better decor than Pacific Catch, better-looking and experienced front staff ) will still be a winner in the long-run. Mizu details: 4 stars even after 668 reviews. Pacific Catch has only 4 after two weeks worth. for 9/30 reviews they've only received 1 out of three good reviews. 1035 S Winchester Blvd San Jose, CA 95128 (408) 260-7200 mizusj.com

Tried this place for the first time this past week for happy hour. First impression is the wait staff are very attentive including the bartenders. We had coconut shrimp which was average, the flavor didn't really pop out...had better at outback steakhouse. The Calamari was not crispy enough and just average. We were thinking of trying some dinner but just seemed the items available were more lunch oriented besides the fish dishes which seemed expensive around $22. Perhaps we will try them for lunch next time were here.

My husband and I have been here a handful of times and it has never disappointed. Service was good and the food is always delicious. I have tried a few different dishes here and I think so far my favorite dishes were the Wasabi Ahi sandwhich and the California Roll Salad. I may just be partial to Japanese food but they were just amazing!

Second time is a charm (see my previous review)! We came by again for an early dinner and were greeted cheerfully, promptly and seated in a nice booth. Husband had the fish and chips but subbed a salad for the chips. Delicious fresh and light batter coating over 4 large pieces of fish, mild coleslaw on the side and quite satisfying. I ordered the Ling Cod Hanoi style special which was beautiful to look at as well as tasty, the shaved asparagus, fennel and green onion topper was addicting, if you can say that about veggies. The cod was fresh and bright, but a little on the undone side toward the middle. When I asked to have them pop it in the pan to cook the pink out, our server cheerfully took it away and brought it back cooked thoroughly with additional veg and rice. I am happy to report that Pacific Catch went above and beyond to make me a fan. Thank you to the management for attention to detail.

Just got through eating at the new Pacific Catch,,,and I can sum it up in one word... FANTASTIC! Our waitress, Lisa, was very attentive and professional. Another waiter even came over and explained how "green" the restaurant is trying to be. The mahi-mahi sandwich was most tasty but my husband ranted and raved about how good the fish and chips were. Can't wait to go back to try one of the other many selections. Two thumbs up!

Wow what a great surprise. My wife and I had originally planned to go to El Burro but in the interest of eating more healthy in the new year we thought we would try out Pacific Catch in the Pruneyard Center. This restaurant is very stylish, yet comfortable, and relatively quite. The service from the hostess to the waiter to the bus person was very good. In particular waiter seemed to really like his job and was very attuned to the the food being offered. The Inside Out Roll was to die for being very fresh, very tasty and very large. I would like to especially point out that the crab salad was made with fresh crab which I rarely find even at some of the best sushi restaurants. My wife's Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned (tamatillo sauce). The Cabo shrimp tacos were also very good in terms of freshness and flavor but could have had some more shrimp. The only other constructive criticism is that they could have had a larger selection of entree/special types of fish and preparations (and would be good to be able to see them online). I will definitely be going back here soon and can highly recommend it to all my friends.

Just got back from the best dinner at Pacific Catch! The food, service, and ambiance were all perfect. The food was super fresh. We ordered the Ceviche Trio for an app. All were tasty! Then we ordered the inside out tuna roll. My husband says its just as good as any good sushi place. For dinner I had the Wasabi Bowl with half greens - half brown rice with seared ahi. The ahi was so flavorful!!! I loved this bowl and want to try all of them now :) My husband had the Thai Curry Bowl with shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. The veggies were slightly crispy and the shrimp were not over cooked. We indulged and had desert too - the Dulce de Leche Spring Roll and the MacNut Brownie Sundae....WOW. So rich and delish. We had to roll ourselves out of there after the marathon dinner chow-down. I absolutely love this place....its pretty much my favorite from this point on. Thank you to our server Aaron...he was so nice and attentive :) Can't wait to eat at Pacific Catch again !!!

Yum. The Pacific Ceviche Trio, which is a sampling of a Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke & Peruvian ceviche is unreal. Goes great with the lemongrass mojito. I never run out of things to try. Very creative menu, and it's fun to people watch at the bar.

We have been to the Campbell location 7 times since it opened and have been happy with our experience every visit. We made a reservation 6 of the 7 visits and each time we were immediately seated when we checked in with the hostess. We had a short wait (15 mins) the one time we did not have a reservation. I definitely recommend the rice bowls (my personal favorite is the Hawaiian Teriyaki with steak) and the Korean Sticky Ribs, very yummy! Good cocktails, okay beer selection and excellent service. This is my husband's new favorite restaurant so I am sure we will be back again soon.

First time there tonight. Great food, mixed catch, sweet potato fries, salad, etc. Good service. However, asked to "half" my meal and take "half" home. Unfortunately, brought home to put in the frig and realized whoever packed my take-home portion threw all in only one cardboard box, the whole thing: warm fish, hot fries, and green salad. Needless to say, this was a mush of a mess so I just tossed it.

It's been a long time since I was this impressed with a new restaurant. This place rocks! Everything we had was exceptional. Generous drinks, although a little pricy, amazing food, fast and efficient service, very cool interior vibe. We had a spicy tuna roll that was to die for and the cabo shrimp tacos were incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. The coup de gras was the macadamia nut brownie sundae with a heavenly chocolate sauce. For the 3 of us it was perfect, not sure I would go with a large party though. The special food presentations might lose their spark. Save big parties for Buca di Beppo. Will be going back again and again.

We went on a Fri at about 7pm for my husbands birthday and were told the wait was between 2-40 min - OK not a problem we can at least order a cpl of drinks from the bar and wait maybe a snack as well. The Bar service was great ! Our server one of 3 offered some suggestions on new drinks and then when asked about an appetizer got us the full menu just so we could see the specials as well as the common. We tried the crab dumplings they were great (4 to plate) However 1 hr and 20 min later we were still not seated and I was done. We walked up to the front reception desk and stated that it had been 40 past the time they stated oh yeah sorry about that we can try and seat you now we said thank you any were leaving .I don't mind a wait when your busy or for what ever reason, but PLEASE when you know you have gone over the time you stated come let the person know its going to be longer. I was done and won't go back which is unfortunate for them because neither will I recommend them. If you just have to try it MAKE A RESERVATION

My rice bowl, which appears to be an extremely popular item choice here was remarkably awful! The bowl was presented with large chunks of uncooked carrots, edamame shells which should have been discarded, so-so Mahi Mahi, rubbery mushrooms (certainly not fresh) all poorly seasoned and a huge disappointment! When asked by my waitress, "how can I make this up to you?", what am I to say - comp my meal, free dessert - yikes! Please train your servers to offer some sort of compensation, it is extremely awkward for the customer to ask for freebies, which I did not do, given my polite attitude, so therefore left feeling very disappointed and cheated. To their credit, my son enjoyed his taco trio, I should have ordered that. I do however appreciate their nod to healthy choices such as brown rice and greens vs. the typical white rice; the casual, yet cosmopolitan dining room created a pleasant ambience. I will not return.

I went for the first time last night to celebrate a girlfriend's Bday. We both are ceviche fans so didn't even pass the appetizer menu to decide to try. Had the Ceviche trio to start and all were delicious, though the Peruvian was my fav. The service, however, was horrendous....I'm really hoping it was an anomaly so I will try again. We ordered a bottle of wine along with the appy, the appetizer showed in minutes and no wine. tap tap tap....waiting, had to ask the waitress. Another man showed with the wrong bottle... Ok, back to the bar. We're still sitting there with our bulky menus because we haven't ordered our main. Finally, correct bottle shows. Yay! Then we had to call over some random waiter to take our dinner order, can't find our waitress. He takes our order, waitress shows about 10 later and acknowledges the order and 'it's coming up soon. Still bulky menu on the table and now, empty appetizer plates. Main dish shows, um- there is no room on the table. I just stared, not sure whether I should get up an bus my own table. Once the menu's were gone and the table cleared, it was OK. I did order the side salad with salmon (seemed to not be a problem), expected the salmon to be on the salad, instead I got the salad and a separate plate of salmon. Very discombobulated for sure! It was a Wednesday night, perhaps more crowded than anticipated???? I don't know..... all restaurants can have an off night....

I had to come check this place out to see what the hype was. It was just okay. I didn't see what the big deal was. My food was mediocre and it was way too pricey for the quality. I'll give them this that my tuna was fresh. All the kudos and stars to that. I just don't see what the big ol hype was. It was pretty loud and crowded for a late lunch. Isn't everyone's lunch around 12pm-1?! I have to try it at least one more time to decide if I'll ever come back here again. I'll update my review as soon as that's done and as you can tell, I'm not running back there anytime soon.

The peruvian ceviche is what I come for...I crave it all the time, it has a perfect harmony of flavors which are complimented by the blue potato chips they serve it with. The other ceviches and pokes are also delicious. I also like their rice bowls which come in a variety of options...my favorites are the hawaiian and the korean with salmon. The desserts are also very good here

I've come a long way from not eating seafood or sushi about 6 years ago, because now I typically chose a seafood restaurant for a date night with the hubby. I decided on Pacific Catch for our NYE dinner since a) obviously a seafood restaurant, b) not too far away from our house and c) it's not too pricey. We had reservations for 730P and were seated immediately. However, I was a little disappointed that we were seated in the outdoor makeshift room. I usually love al fresco dining but not in an enclosed "extra' room. I found it a little warm under the heatlamp and quickly removed my sweater though I was seated further away from it. I asked my hubby if he was too warm, since I can see some beads of sweat on his forehead. Our kind server, Melanie asked if he was too warm, but he said he was OK. Whatever floats your boat hubby. All I can think of is that I might feel too warm with a glass of wine... On to the food, we ordered side salads and the Pacific Catch cerviche trio to start. My entree was the bbq Mahi Mahi special and the hubby ordered a crab sandwich. The cerviche was a hit. I loved all 3 as well as the tortilla chips, purple potato chips and wontons. I did find the wontons a bit on the salty side. Mind you, I don't like shrimp, but I loved that cerviche. I was little annoyed that our main entrees came out so fast - I wasnt even 1/3 done with my side salad and our cerviche wasn't even halfway eaten!! I felt rushed and crowded with all the plates still on our table. I was even concerned that my sweet potato fries were going to be cold by the time I would be able to give them some attention. My mahi mahi was very tender and not fishy at all. I actually liked it, but I really enjoyed the cerviche trio better. Hubby said his crab sandwich was just OK, not enough crab taste. I had one of his seasoned fries, but I prefered my sweet potato fries. Melanie was great, I thought her service was spot on without being too intrusive or out of touch. I'd go back to try other things on their menu...and of course, more cerviche! ;) p.s. Did I mention, that we weren't even done with our meal...we were the only ones left in that room? It was really really lonely. :/

Checked out Pacific Catch for dinner on Sunday night. Walking in, the place looked way trendy with the dark woods, slate, and blue bottled lighting everywhere. But when it came down to it, it was just a casual restaurant as the servers wore jeans and the "managers" walked around with untucked buttoned down shirts, really? After looking at the menu, I wouldn't classify this as a "Seafood" resto. It's more of an Asian/Latin spot, wait, then again, so does Elephant Bar. THAT'S what this resto's menu reminds me of! :P We started with the Pacific Catch Ceviche tTio, which offered quite a mix of textures, flavors and colors. It was the first time I've ever had Poke and I've got to say, I've been missing out! I loved the Poke and the Peruvian Ceviche but, the Baja Shrimp Ceviche was a disappointment. It only had three pieces of shrimp, was quite salty and came with tortilla chips that weren't fresh as you'd get at Chevy's or any Mexican resto for that matter. For our entress, I ordered the KBBQ Rice Bowl with the skirt steak and sticky ribs. It was a big bowl indeed. The ribs were plentiful, tasty and very sticky. However, the skirt steak was disappointing as there just slivers of beef and I couldn't quite figure it out if the beef was salty or the sauce in the rice was salty. Not to mention, way overpriced at $18. The s/o ordered their Fish and Chips, which I was thinking about ordering. The s/o didn't care too much for it and said that we've had better F&C. I can tell as the s/o was definitely struggling trying to finish it. Our server was really friendly, upbeat and even apologetic about my meal when I refused a take out box. Overall, I know that Pacific Catch is a chain but for such a glam looking resto, they easily could fetch $30+ for Chilean Sea Bass instead of offering your run of the mill $10 Fish & Chips or $12 two taco combo. I'd rate the 2.5 stars but I did like 2/3 of the Ceviche Trio and the service was friendly. Maybe we'll go back just for appetizers?

Poke, rice bowls, tacos, salmon, soup - everything is so flavorful here. Food seems to be pretty fresh too. They post the origin of their fish on their blackboard - plus! No shady fish here. Brownie dessert is to die for - enough for 4 people to share - my family love this! Service is good. Wine is a little pricey here - deducting a star for that.

I ordered take out the other night for my husband and myself and really enjoyed our dishes. We had a spicy tuna roll, the wasabi rice bowl with ahi and mochi fondue. The fish was fresh and delicious. My only complaint was that the rice was slightly over-sauced in the bowl. The flavors and freshness of ingredients were otherwise great! I don't know how you could possibly go wrong with mochi fondue, and Pacific Catch is perfectly sane, possibly even genius...

Ha L.
I hate chains, but this one is bearable compared to places like Applebees, Dennys, etc. Not sure if they're comparable though but... Service can be a hit or a miss. I've been here a couple of times and gotten different treatment. The food, however, are pretty mediocre. Nothing that wows you but nothing would totally disgust you either. The steak tacos are good. The bowls are good. Would definitely not return unless a friend wants to actually come here, otherwise, there are other places in Campbell to eat at, including new places to try in the Pruneyard plaza.

Consistently high quality food and service. We've been here a few times on various days and times, and have always been thrilled with our experience. We stopped in for a late lunch, and we split one of the fish specials - halibut roasted with tomatoes with a side of brown rice and a grilled artichoke. (the halibut was very fresh and cooked perfectly, but a bit bland without a bit of dipping sauce or tomatoes.) We also had a side salad (lettuces, edamame, shitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumbers tossed in a miso dressing = delicious!) and a seaweed salad (perfectly crunchy & seasoned - not tart or sweet, just fantastic.) They have a Poke Fest going on with 8 or 9 different types of poke, so we ordered a spicy, creamy tuna poke with hot freshly sliced Serrano peppers that comes with won ton chips. (heavenly) The server was great. The hostess was very sweet and gave us a nice table/booth tucked in the covered patio area. The place has a nice atmosphere, and everything we've tried has been really tasty. They offer a large variety of healthy options, heavily fish oriented, but also serve steak and chicken dishes. There is something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable.

I first tried Pacific Catch in SF (the one across from GG Park) and loved it! Was I willing to go all the way to SF to eat there again? Not really... So was I happy when I found out that they opened one in Campbell? HECK YEAH! I had the Japanese Wasabi Hawaiian Poke and I LOVED it! Husband had Sticky Ribs & Marinated Skirt Steak and he LOVED his as well. I normally don't eat brown rice, but this is the only place where I would ask for brown rice. For appetizers, we got sweet potato fries, also delish. For all the parents out there, this is a baby friendly restaurant! Why? It's loud! You know how embarrassing it is when your baby's being loud and everything turns and looks at you. They also take reservations as well which is great since I don't have to worry about waiting too long to get seated. Beware of parking though, it can be quite challenging.

4.5 rounded up to 5.0. We've had consistently good experiences at the Campbell restaurant (as well as at the SF 9th/Lincoln restaurant). 4.5 because... Very nice, comfortable decor. Consistently clean facilities. Pretty good service. The food quality is always excellent, though I admit I haven't strayed too far from the wasabi bowl with Hawaiian poke (it's darn good!). So I don't have a diverse experience with the menu but everything I've tried has been good. Very good bar experiences--full bar, good beer/wine choices. Not 5.0 because... Parking at the Pruneyard can be difficult so expect long walks or long hunts for parking spots during peak hours. And while service is consistently good and professional, I would expect more recognition as many times as we've been there and spent good money. (Just a "Welcome back! would be nice.) Overall, I recommend Pacific Catch as a great place to get very good seafood in a Pacific-style cuisine.

Went in for lunch and we were thirsty and hungry. After seated for more than 10 - 15 minutes. Not a single soul attended to us for either drinks or orders. I was getting inpatient. Without a single server in the near eyesight, I decided to go find them myself. The lady who greeted and seated us were chatting with another server in the far back. I walked over there and told them that we had been waiting for more than 10 minutes. The server said she will find someone. And a minute later she came by by herself and asked us if we need drinks or were ready to order. Afraid to wait any longer, we gave the orders right away. And finally, we got the water served!! Another male server came to serve us later with no apology at all for the waiting. I was not sure if he was supposed to be the one to serve us in the first place, or if he was just moved to fill in the blank. There were actually not a lot of customers during lunch time today. Whoever arranging the service responsibility must not be doing the job right. Fortunately, everything was becoming better since then. The food were great. We had the Miso Salmon. The side salad was refreshing and special. Salmon was done great with the sweetened sauce. We also had a Thai curry Mahi Mahi rice bowl. The fish again was fresh and well. The green curry was there but not over powering the dish at all. We chose the brown rice for the bowl. It was mixed well with all the ingredients. It is a light version of Thai which is great and decent. Finally, the dessert Mochi fondue added the entire meal with a very nice touch. The presentation was elegant. It came with three flavor of Mochi with ice cream inside - Red Bean, Vanilla, and Coffee if I remembered correctly. Each Mochi was cut into two half pieces. And it was served with warm chocolate dip. The service afterward was more attentive. So in the end, we felt OK and did not want to let the bad beginning mood to spoil the wonderful food. I would give the place 5 stars for the food and ambiance. The two stars deduction is due to the service mishap. I am not sure if I want to come back again. Probably not to this location for a while.

After seeing all the good reviews, my friend and I went for a late lunch. Place looks nice, and I was excited...alas, the food was too salty and the service was awful. - california roll, salad - the real crab was good but the dressing was way too salty. - korean beef - was more like beef teriyaki where the sauce was too sweet - server - there were 4 servers milling around, looking busy but not really working - our server - spent 10 minutes talking to the patron next to us, glances at us and sees us waiting then moseys over asking if we are ready. yes, the closed menus should be the signal - server #2 - had 1 table and walked back and forth to her one table, but not really serving. takes some time to chat with server #4 - server #3 - had guests outside and seems truly serving (wish we sat outside) - server #4 - walked back and forth but not really working then, after we finished eating, i was done waiting for the check..so i had to go up to server #1 and ask for the check, and she says "sorry you had to wait.." yeah, me too. i hope you have a better experience than we did! we were disappointed :(

Everything I ordered was tasty. The service is pretty good here. I like that their sushi does not contain too much rice and you have the option of white or brown rice for the same price. Their decor is very modern and clean - cute place for a date.

Food was just alright. Had the taco plate and it was less than satisfying. I give it an extra star for having a lively bar in a restaurant.

Ok no 5-stars because the service is still lousy but the food is really good and while expensive still really good. It is my favorite lunch spot especially when someone else is paying :-)

Wanted to try this restaurant and was very pleased. Atmosphere was great, staff was extremely friendly and food was delicious and healthy. I ordered the Poke bowl with half brown rice, half salad, and it was prepared perfectly and with lovely presentation. Hubby ordered the fish tacos. Lots more on the menu to try, so I will definitely be back. The manager seated us and came by our table to see that everything was okay - not intrusive, just in a helpful manner. My new favorite restaurant.

My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try out Pacific Catch for the longest time, and finally the opportunity arose last Friday night. We didn't think to make a reservation, so the hostess told us it would be a 20-25 minute wait. We were okay with that as it was a busy weekend night, but we only ended up having to wait about 10. We were sat by a nice gentleman who thoroughly went over their current specials and recommended some of his favorites from the menu since it was our first time there. Our waitress greeted us, I can't remember her name but she was very nice and attentive the entire meal. We did not have to look up or wonder where she was at all which was such a breath of fresh air. We were brought a small plate of edamame and goldfish to snack on before our meal that I thought was random, but cute. When it came time to order, we decided to try their sweet potato fries because the table next to us ordered them and they smelled AMAZING. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and my boyfriend got one of their specials, the salmon club sandwich. The fries were out surprisingly fast, and they were hot and seriously delicious. I would say the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. My teriyaki bowl was huge! It was filling and the flavors blended so well. I remember telling my boyfriend how the chicken just melted in my mouth, it was cooked perfectly. He liked his sandwich well enough, but mentioned he wanted to try something different next time. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the noise level was acceptable enough for us to have a normal conversation even though there were tables occupied on either side of us. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food!!! love the menu and nice variety of flavors on it. My favorites are the ahi poke bowl appetizers and the Tacos. The wait can be long sometimes but the service and food are good

Food was pretty good. I had the sushi rolls (although I don't like how there was wasabi there and it didn't state that on the menu) and seaweed salad. The waitress was horrible. She took forever and then forgot to give us utensils when dessert was brought out. We had to wait 10 for her to bring some. It's a bit frustrating when you're on a lunch break. This area people either have money but no jobs, or have long lunch breaks because its always packed for lunch. I would probably go back if someone else wanted to, but it wouldn't be a place I suggest off the bat.

We got the ceviche trio, some alaskan fish, and some sushi roll. Portion sizes are extremely small and prices are somewhat pricey. The hawaiian poke in the ceviche trio was awesome, but the taro chips were stale :( This place has a somewhat hipster feel to it. Probably won't be coming back.

Tried this place for the first time with my girls for my birthday :) It was recommended by a friend of mine so I was super excited! The Pan-Asian Rice Bowl: Korean BBQ I got with the grilled salmon was THE BOMB! I opted to get half rice, half salad and even that was a lot of food - I sadly couldn't finish it because I was so full. It was delish! Their cocktails were really yummy, too! Ask your waiter/waitress about drink recommendations - we asked our waiter and he was on point with his suggestions. We were very pleased with how the drinks came out and also appreciated how friendly/approachable he was. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes. I recommend making reservations ahead of time because it gets packed, especially on the weekends.

Really good seafood. Great environment for eating, definitely a date spot. Bar is good for drinking, good selection of booze. Only 2 TVs so def not the spot to catch a game. I've tried: Fish and Chips: Lightly battered, not quite tempura but not as heavy as normal, I believe it's a coconut batter but you can't taste the coconut. Spicy Fries: A little heavily seasoned, but really good. I recommend these over the sweet potato fries, and get the ginger wasabi sauce for dipping. Hawaiian Poki: Delicious, best I've had around here. Tried my buddy's as an appetizer and got it as a salad as well. If you like poki... get it. Ono (special): Haven't had Ono in years, had to try it. Cooked perfectly, served Oaxacan style. Awesome dish. Teriyaki Chicken Bowl: My mom loved it, and she's a pretty finicky eater. Egg Nog Ice Cream (special): Really good, pretty much is what it sounds like it would be! All the portions here are quite good, and for good seafood it is reasonably priced. I like that their daily specials are truly daily specials. The chef came out and talked to us for a minute and seemed like he truly cared about the plates he was dishing out. They have a happy hour which is pretty good too. I'll definitely be coming back here a lot, hopefully they have more staying power than the restaurants in this space before.

Ok, I'm comparing this to places like Sonoma Chicken Coop, Buca Di Beppo , etc... NOT a place for a date. Great family restaurant since its so loud lol. Don't like the configuration of some of the tables...they have you sitting a few inches to other diners which I find very strange and awkward. MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR A BOOTH or ask for a table that's more private. Hated the bar, went on a Fri night around6:30 it's was packed. We couldn't squeeze in anywhere for a drink while waiting for our table. Since We had 30 minute wait for our table we walked over to Paxis and luckily got a few beers there at their bar. We loved our dinners . I had the Mahi Thai bowl. Loved that I could do half brown with half white rice, with more veggies ( and of course less rice) My husband had fish tacos which he enjoyed. We shared a spicy tuna roll and that was good too. Great waitress. Despite it being very busy and noisy she was amazing. I was expecting a date type restaurant so little disappointed but ill be back with friends or kiddos. (No more dates there though.)

The former location for Left at Albequerque has become a new hotspot at the Pruneyard! Stylishly modern yet warm and eco-friendly inside. Blue glass bottles have been cleverly repurposed as light fixtures. Why didn't I think of this? I had the special Hawaiian Ono (Oaxacan style!) which was a truly unique presentation for fish that worked well : a huge fillet served over brown rice mixed with black beans, accompanied by pickled onions, avocado slices, and fried plantains. I liked the combination of sweet+savory flavors and the full range of textures from soft avocado to fleshy fish to hearty rice to crunchy plantains. Best of all the price was half of what the same fish costs in Hawaii! And you get more of it. A-lo-ha! generous portions and totally reasonable prices, great vibe inside (chefs are walking around meeting people) means this place makes service a priority. The south bay is really lucky to have a seafood restaurant that dares to serve different types of fish and in unique ways - move over, butter 'n lemon! A semi-asian fusion really works for fresh fish! Proof that they are thinking outside the box? Chalkboards for the kids instead of the usual crayons. All you other restaurants should consider yourselves "pwned".

First time here, arrived right as happy hour ended. :( Lots of people in the bar and a few in the restaurant. Place is nice and clean. Lots to choose from for appetizers. we got ceviche 3 ways. tasty! nice glass of wine then sushi for our entree. Ecstasy - 12.5 albacore, ahi, tobiko, avocado & green onion, wrapped in nori, served tempura with citrus chili glaze (no rice) and Rising Sun - 12.5 tempura shrimp, avocado, ginger & cucumber wrapped in ahi tuna with ponzu. Both we delicious! Desert was a Mochi Fondue. Excellent service and great food.

Didnt realize that this is new to the area so I will cut them some slack with the yelp stars. Not a surprise that the 3 hosts up front were all tied up, but the turn off was when the one that greeted us gave us a bit of a hard time since they've got incoming reservations and so on and so on,. Nevertheless, we were granted a table for a party of 5 at 5:15, under the condition that we had to vacate in time for the 6:30 diners to come in. Our party was all fine with it, as long as the service was speedy enough to accommodate that task, which they were. Another turn off was the same host looking over our table constantly (maybe frantically? I dunno); so as much as he assured us that he didn't want to rush us, we sorta felt that way anyway. Great waitress, attentive bussers, and good fish specials ordered; the calamari pieces prepared were interestingly tempura-fied, along with lemon slices and peppers. I've been to the SF location and they've got it down like clockwork there, so i could only hope for the same potential in Campbell after all the growing pains of a new restaurant.

I am not going to start this review by saying "I don't know how any of the people reviewing this place gave it 4 stars". Instead I will say I believe that these people gave Pacific Catch 4 stars because they actually got SUPER drunk, went to Taco Bravo down the street, and ordered the gut wrenching carne asada super nachos. When they woke up the next day at 2 pm and didn't have a hangover, they gave Pacific Catch 4 stars. My girl and I ordered and shared the following: Rising Sun Sushi Roll ($11.50) Mixed Catch Fish and Chips ($14.00) Crab Corn Chowder (I forgot the price, but based on the other prices I can assume it was $250) Food: The food was OK. It wasn't great, but it was OK. The rice in the roll wasn't packed together correctly, so the roll fell apart pretty easily. No matter how my girl tried to pick up the roll it fell apart. This is alarming since she is Japanese and has a Master's Degree in Chopsticks, with a minor in Soy Sauce. The fish and chips was average at best. It came with sweet potato fries as a side, and that was also average. The dipping sauce for the entree was pretty much tasteless, but at least it didn't taste like a shoe. The crab chowder was good. I liked it quite a bit and had I only eaten it, the review would have been much better. The corn-to-potato-to-crab ratio was perfect. The chowder wasn't too hot, nor was it too cold. The only real issue was that the serving was a bit small. I could have used about 25% more chowder. Service: The service was fine. Again, nothing stood out either way. Decor: Pacific Catch is nice inside, clean and well lit... not so well lit that it looks like the "ugly lights" at a bar around 2:18 am. One of the other people we were eating with said that the men's bathroom had a weird sink that made it hard to wash his hands. I believe he is lying though, because he NEVER washes his hands (I am not kidding). Overall I would not go back to Pacific Catch. I feel the food was overpriced for the quality.

Yummy food and great service! What more is there? We had the happy hour tacos, ahi, fish and chicken tacos, Cali roll and one harvest Sierra, two glasses of wine and sorbet for $41. Typically this dollar amount does not buy you drinks or desert, so we were quite happy. Food quality is great!

A Japanese/Hawaiian fusion place. Some sushi selections, poke, rice bowls and a few other dishes for non-seafood lovers seem to all be good here. Nice large venue that seats big parties. Friendly staff. The rice bowl is very large, and has a generous serving of poke, if thats what you choose to top it. Our waiter suggested, and many other yelp reviewers do too, that we replace half the rice with the salad mix, and it led to a good balance, otherwise the rice may get too heavy, the bowl is quite large and pretty much will leave you stuffed.
(4)Hanna Y.
Maybe I didn't order one of their better dishes but here's what we tried. The poke trio, some beef over rice dish, mahi mahi fish tacos, and vanilla icecream with crispy flauta like things and caramel sauce.. I think. Poke trio.. not bad. But it doesn't compare to what I've had in hawaii and it definately is not worth the price they charged for it. They gave so little poke. The fish tacos - corn tortillas were stale... and might I add... they double up on the tortilla for each taco which made it taste extra stale. I had to pick off the tortilla with each bite. But the fish was delicious... sauce on top was slightly sweet and creamy. Yum. The service - dude, we had coupons we were using and one of them included an 18% gratuity regardless of party size. The server, nice.. but it took him 15 mins to bring our appetizer. Another 25 mins to bring our main entrees. We waited 10 minutes for him to come by and take our order for our dessert. It took him 15 mins to come by just so we could ask for the check. Then another 15 mins for him to bring the rung up bill and cards by so we could sign the damn bill. Our party of 4 was there for 2.5 hours. Are you kidding me? We ordered... 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, and 1 dessert. That is a standard 1 hour and maybe an extra 10 min meal. Crappy food, below par service. Two thumbs down.
(2)Christine M.
The location is good and I wish the food was as good. I've been there a few times and each time the service lacked and the food was just ok. The portions are on the smaller size and the prices are on the higher end which make it harder to justify going back.
(2)Karly B.
Skip dinner and go straight for dessert. I tried this place out while here for a work trip. For the entree I tried the fish and shrimp tacos. They were okay, but nothing to write home about. Also, I thought the goldfish and edamame they put on the table was strange. For what dinner lacked, dessert more than made up for. I had the dulce de leche cheesecake spring rolls. OMG! Seriously, do not plan on sharing this with anyone. These are out of this world!!!
(3)David A.
I visited this place yesterday for a late lunch as I have heard about their food but never got to try it out, until now. We were seated in the patio area upon request and were delightful to know that they are dog friendly which was fantastic! I started out with an appetizer and ordered the Let's Get Saucy sushi roll. This roll was a pretty good size appetizer roll that consisted of tempura spicy salmon and albacore topped with tobiko, green onion, sriracha aioli and eel sauce. This roll was very good and only my stomach conscience prevented from getting another one. For entrees, the Kalua pork sandwich and the grilled salmon salad were ordered. The sandwich consisted of slow cooked pork with a pineapple slaw on the side. The pork was flavorful and juicy on its own and the whole meal was served on a piece of cooking paper that had the image of a page of a Hawaiian front page newspaper from 1901, which was pretty cool. The salmon salad was very unique in that the croutons were made out of crispy salmon skin, which I thought was a super creative touch. The salad also is a pretty sizeable dish so do not mistaken it for an appetizer or else I hope you have a big apetite! I really enjoyed my experience here and thought it was a solid and memorable meal. I will come back here again as soon as possible as there are a few other entrees I really want to try. Give this place a try. I did!

After seeing the very positive reviews, I had pretty high hopes for this place that I was going to try out with my family. Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations at all. The waitress had an air of "I don't care" or "I don't want to be here" and the service was, dare I say it, the slowest I have ever seen a restaurant go. While we were waiting, we chatted and had some of the edamame and pretzel goldfish they had as snacks. After those were basically gone and what felt like half an hour had gone by, we had very little patience and were saying, "This food better be worth the time we spent here." After the food arrived, my family and I were starving and we dug in. We only ordered 3 mildly simple dishes: a plate of raw fish with chips on the side, salmon chowder, and a bowl of Korean bbq rice with small slices of steak on top. (Sorry, I don't remember the names, but you get the gist of it). I didn't expect the chowder to be made on the spot and I expected a slightly bigger portion, but the taste was only average and kind of strange and the bowl only contained the amount a kitten would eat. The beef bowl was also average and I had tasted others way better with a smaller price and better service. And lastly, our appetizer that should have been here first, was just raw fish dipped in some sauce and chips that you could buy from any grocery store that could have been served in less than 5 minutes. Slow clap. Though I may not be an expert, this restaurant is mediocre and if you still want to eat here, go there early or make a reservation because the wait takes a while.

Really love this place with friends, for date night, even a solo lunch at the bar. I've never been disappointed with the food even slightly. I love the macadamia nut poke, ceviche, fish & shrimp tacos and fish and chips are a favorite. Their salads are nice and entree-sized with all the fixings. I'm not so big on the cocktail list here and usually order beer or wine instead. My one grievance is that when I come in toward the end of service I've been sat at the half round booths near the bar and service tends to be pretty inattentive. I've grabbed myself utensils and napkins more than a couple times. Despite this I always leave satisfied and return time and again for the vibe and great food.
(5)Shobhit K.
The two taco plate ( one shrimp and one cod) served with the warm black beans and a fresh salad with a light yummy dressing was a perfect lunch! Service and ambiance were nice too.
(5)Bee R.
absolutely love coming here for happy hour when I don't have work. Prices are very reasonable and the drinks are super strong! This time I ordered the calamari and california roll and they were both delicious! The calamari is crunchy and a little bit spicy and in the california roll they use real crab! Even better! I've also tried their Korean Ribs, Poke, and baja taco all very delicious. I would come more often if I didn't have work during happy hour.
(5)Aston L.
Their raw fish poke is good, their cooked fish is even better. Eat here now.
(5)Bobby L.
Their starters and tacos are perfect for eating light or for post-workout meals. Splurging on their fresh entrees is always an option too. But I haven't. Yet. Tacos are sized well here and are packed with flavor. With crispy sweet onions and Sriracha aioli, the Pacific Steak taco is something I'd come back for. The marinated grilled steak was so tender.... enough to bite into the taco and NOT have everything fall out on the pull. The Crispy shrimp taco had large pieces of shrimp and worked well with jalapeno tartar and lime. The Traditional Baja taco lands up there with one of the best fish tacos I've had, although I've only had a few in my life. When it comes to ceviche, there's always a fiesta in my mouth with their Baja shrimp ceviche. This ceviche has a nice kick to it, with noticeable lime and cilantro flavors. And they don't skimp on the shrimp! I just prefer the shrimp to be chopped or sliced rather than whole. The Peruvian ceviche with fresh mini scallops was a bit too wild for me....in a good eye-opening way. The ginger and serrano chillies stood out with just one bite. Goes very well with the purple potato chips. I can never turn down Hawaiian Poke. During my most recent jaunts to PC, I thought their Ahi tuna was just caught and slapped on the chopping block. Fresh indeed, with simple seasoning and served with fried wonton chips....I could eat this forever. And ever. Thanks to their chalkboard daily specials, I had the opportunity to try their pineapple upside-down cake....and it was excellent.

I have went here three times and they all have been pleasant experiences. The servers are very attentive and timely. The first two times I have ordered the hawaiian terriyaki with skirt steak and it is like heaven in my mouth! Except I need to warn you, it's VERY heavy and very filling. I was in a food coma the two times I ate those bowls. It was worth it though. The third time, they had a special macademia crusted halibut with puree purple yam. It was really great. If you go and they still have it, take it! It's delicious. The price is reasonable for a really good meal. I love how you can always customize your dish with many substitutions and it'll still be the same price and the servers are understanding.
(4)Colin B.
Expensive for what you get. Tried the sweet potato fries appetizer, then got a chicken chipotle sandwich with regular fries. fries were fries, good, nothing amazing but solid crispiness. Chicken was okay, the chipotle sauce was basically mayo since it didnt have alot of kick to it. Wife had poke and sole and a glass of wine, her favorite thing was the wine and the rest were just okay. Bill was , with tip, about 70 or so bucks, so expensive compared to other restaurants.
(2)amy r.
Good service, good food, good prices, good menu. It's a winner. A group of six of us went there recently and were very happy. I'd been there earlier in the week and was the one who recommended it as a place for a group dinner and I wasn't disappointed. the one complaint from several of our group members was that it was hot. We were in a booth that seemed to have no air flow at all. There's not much the wait staff could have done so we didn't bother to ask for relief.
(4)Sirish D.
They have a nice patio area that also provides some level of privacy from the street. Few options for vegetarians but they do have some good stuff. I liked the Sunset rolls. Meat-eaters in the group said the Thai curry and Salmon were delicious too. The fried lychee spring roll ice cream is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. One of the best deserts I have had.
(4)AnnMarie V.
This place was recommended by my boss. Sooo delicious. I had the Hawaiian Teriyaki Bowl with skirt steak, so good! I had the 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 greens and it was still a lot of rice and very filling. I'll definitely be back!!
(5)Henry P.
I dined here recently and was taken aback by the decor and the ambiance of the restaurant in a very good way. The bar area is very roomy and the bar staff are very attentive to your needs. The staff in general provide excellent service. The food was really good. You can also tell with the wait time that the head chef definitely has a great grip on providing quality food in a timely manner. I had several items at the restaurant - Mixed Basket - Cod filet, breaded shrimp, and breaded oysters Specials - Calamari and Black Pepper Shrimp Beers - Sapporo (On Tap) and Hinano (Bottled) The items came out in a timely fashion and the beers went superbly with the food. I'd definitely would return to this place and see the influence of the head chef on the internal culture of the restaurant.
(5)Nathan J.
This is the best restaurant in the South Bay. If you love fresh fish, sushi and Hawaiian poke, combined with fresh vegetables and other healthy and tasty ingredients, you will love this restaurant! Excellent service and very modern decor as well.
(5)robert k.
Mediocre service with mediocre food. Thought the selection was pretty limited and the menu was kind of pricey, and the servings were on the smaller side. That being said, the meats were pretty good and the greens were fresh. Rice was good, and the overall flavor combination was good. Teriyaki meat (salmon, chicken, steak) on salad with brown rice. Seems healthy.

I am not your usual seafood lover (in fact I pass by as a fish eater when I only eat Tilapia). My wife (who loves seafood) usually has to find a place that serves non-seafood options to be able to enjoy when she craves for a fresh catch. However, on this instance, she insisted that I come along to Pacific catch. We ordered a taco combo and thai curry with mahi-mahi and to my wife's surprise, I was binging on the 2 entrees like a hound. This is by far the best fish grill place I have ever been to (even beats some amazing places in Hawaii) I am coming back here again with my whole gang.

***3.5*** We've been here twice. The first time, I had that "falling-in-love" feeling with this place. You know, when you think you've found that hidden restaurant gem you've been searching for. I looked at the menu and everything seemed to be right up my alley. It's been a while since we've been there, so I'm somewhat hazy on exactly what we ordered. But I do remember my favorite thing on the menu. KOREAN STICKY RIBS I am obsessed with them. I ordered them both times we were there. They are perfectly charred, and the sweet glaze is heavenly. I need to replicate these at home and I am planning to do it soon. TUNA POKE BOWL--My daughter's favorite thing to order at a place like this. But it failed to deliver. For one thing, the sushi chunks are not cut uniformly and are a bit oversized. Some of the pieces looked slightly mashed and other pieces didn't. That doesn't make for a good-looking poke bowl. Another downside was there was a slight sliminess to the tuna. Sushi should NEVER be slimy. Big turn off for me once I tasted it. One bite was enough. I'm struggling to remember what my wife ordered, but I think it was some kind of raw fish taco if I'm not mistaken. I remember her liking the dish, and she may have ordered the same dish on our second visit back. And I ordered a cocktail here that the waiter suggested. Caught me by surprise because it looked like a girly drink, pink in color. Actually, it's the drink that is pictured in my Yelp profile picture. Nice looking drink, but a little too cute for a man of my machismo. Kidding!! Bottom line, we will probably come again. That is, if I can convince my daughter to come back. I think she was the only one disappointed with her order. But I do think this place has more to offer. I would like to explore their menu and I would LOVE to encounter those Korean Sticky Ribs again, and again and again. I could eat a whole rack of them.
(3)Chris O.
I loved their SF location for the food, and this is the same quality food but with a bigger menu and much bigger, prettier location. I'm a big fan of the poke wasabi bowl but I do wish they offered some strong japanese green tea to enjoy it with like they do in SF, all the teas here were too fancy and flavored, just one regular green is needed. But really I should not complain about a thing. They have outdoor seating, some of which is pooch friendly, great service, a very modern comfortable setting and did I mention the food is excellent? Good stuff.
(5)Shaun L.
I'm glad I made reservations ahead of time - this place gets busy in the evening! This restaurant has a wide array of seafood options to choose from so if you like Asian fusion cuisine then you'll probably like what's offered. The service was pretty good, especially considering how busy the restaurant was when I visited. Price-wise it's pretty much on par with what you'd expect for seafood. I recommend it, but make reservations ahead of time!

I'm in love and I don't care. :) We were lucky enough to dine here when they first opened and got VIP complimentary dinner service just to try out their menu and let them know how we liked everything. Let me just tell you, I already had a HUGE crush on Pacific Catch after that night. But of course, it could have been because our delicious meal including dessert was on the house. BUT, we left a fat tip that night anyhow because service was definitely top notch. I made reservations for Sunday lunch here (yay to cheat meals!) the weekend of my most recent NPC bikini competition. Why did I choose Pacific Catch? Cuz it's extremely close by to our place, the ambiance isn't too casual and isn't too pretentious AND I honestly think they have a stellar seafood menu + gluten free menu with affordable pricing! Surprisingly, their afternoon wasn't completely packed as I expected. The outside patio was pretty full but our group of 3 dined inside. I really love the contemporary decor here and the fact that it never really gets that loud there. I think it's the open floor plan and the super high ceilings that help. Our server was extremely friendly, courteous and moved at an efficient pace. Just the way I like it. After seeing so many Yelpers post the pictures of their Ceviche Trio appetizer plate, I knew that's what I wanted to start off with as our appetizer. And NO WONDER everyone orders this plate, all 3 servings of ceviche and the chips that accommodate each serving was excellent! I loved the spice in the Baja shrimp ceviche and the shrimps they had in it were HUGE! The Peruvian scallop ceviche came with the best taro chips (I'm a huge taro fanatic, I couldn't stop munching on those) and last but not least the Hawaiian poke with the light and airy wonton chips was also a HIT for our table. For my entree I ordered off the gluten-free menu. Why you ask? Just cuz it's a "cheat meal" doesn't mean I'm gonna force myself to bloat up and look like a cow leaving. Hehe! I ended up with one of their Pan Asian Rice Bowls: I got the Mahi Thai Curry w/ brown rice. The server was smart enough to ask me if I wanted to do 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce, that way there's less carbs. I wanted to hug the guy after that! When my heaping bowl of goodness came out, it seriously smelled so fragrant, I couldn't wait to dive right in. And, I did! The sauteed eggplant w/ red bell peppers, long beans toasted coconut and crispy shallots melded together so wonderfully with that green curry sauce. And the mahi was definitely LEAN and MEAN, just like me. I was trying to see if I should just eat 1/2 of my entree and bring the rest home but it just tasted so good...I devoured every drippity drop! I wish I could have ordered dessert there like we did the last time. Cuz lemme tell ya, their Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" w/ vanilla ice cream doused in caramel sauce is bombdiddalyumptious! Pacific Catch, you are now on my Top 10 list of places to eat. Like I said in the beginning, I'm in love and I don't care. (:

I've never tried Hawaiian Poke before but so many people said many good things about it. I searched up some pictures on instagram and many results came up from Pacific Catch. I checked out their menu and looked at pictures of their food and it all looked so delicious. I finally got the chance to go and the food was so delicious. I wanted to try everything there! The waiters were very friendly, funny and nice. I also love how the place looks and the atmosphere is really relaxing. I will definitely come back!!

I was looking for a last minute place for dinner within that area that specialized in seafood and this place came up. Pros: Hawaiian Poke: These dishes are amazingly good here. The fish is fresh and its perfectly seasoned and dressed. My favorite is the California style poke because of the fact they used real crab pieces. Plus the tobiko in the California poke added for more of an extra crunch and savory flavor. Seating and Ambiance: The place can get loud, but the decorations has a great modernized touch, which is great for all occasions. The place is a good size to come in bigger groups as well. Cons: Service: Service was really lacking considering I went during the hours when it wasn't busy. It took forever to get my order in and even longer to get my check. I'm hoping it was just a bad day I went on. Food: Although the poke was delicious, I was not too impressed with the fish and chips, which is supposed to be their specialty. The coating was too bland with not enough crunch. The sushi rolls are plain, nothing special. I normally don't order Sushi from New American Seafood restaurants, but everyone was ordering at least one roll, so it was tempting to see what was so great about it. Overall, I would only here to have my poke fix.

Stopped in for lunch with a friend a month ago. Our waiter was very friendly and knew the menu well. We ended up ordering the Hawaiian Poke trio and a fried coconut shrimp entree to share. All of our food was absolutely delicious!! I have been craving the poke ever since! Will definitely be stopping back soon.

This place used to be good. Last night we spent $100 for 3 people without drinks and got plates of lukewarm rice and vegetable served with slightly chemical tasting sauce and tasteless fish. We were quite hungry and in no mood to send it back since it was 9 pm. The service was sparse though adequate. Not going back.

This restaurant is really modern, clean and nicely decorated. Dined here Thursday night and the place was packed, make sure you make resos on yelp! The food here is superr fresh and yummy. Between the bf and i, we shared the hawaiian teriyaki skirt steak, three taco platter with spicy fries and sweet potato, a side of wakame salad and an arnold palmer (best I've ever had). They were so nice and split our meals for us :) I would highly recommend everything. Portions are deliciously huge because we found ourselves struggling to finish our food. I love that they do substitutions/ mix and match! Oh and they have sriracha for you sriracha lovers!

I really love the Hawaiian touches here. We waited for about 20 minutes on a Saturday night. Get their clam chowder, its delicious and full of clams. Everything is super fresh and yummy. I got the Serrano poke which has a nice kick to it. At the time it was restaurant week, they offered a 3 course meal for 35 bucks when the seafood plate was already regularly $28. Service is good, very friendly servers.
(4)Amy L.
The food was good. My boyfriend and I got the California Style Poke which I thought was the best dish. We also ordered the Korean bbq pan Asia rice plate with skirt steak--it was good, flavorful but heavy on the sweet sauce. The last dish we ordered were two tacos...I'm not too sure what they were exactly but we got one with fried shrimp and one with steak, along with a side of sweet potatoes. These were super messy to eat and definitely not memorable. By the end of the meal, both tacos were pretty soggy and were falling apart--I didn't enjoy eating them in particular. I do think that you get what you pay for: the ingredients are plentiful and of high quality, so no complaints there. The interior is cute and I like the idea of lamps made out of the same water bottles they have. Not super dark either! Yay! The service wasn't exactly spectacular, though. Maybe because we were a college freshmen and a high school senior (and look like it too), but we felt like we weren't paid attention to quite like the other guests there at the same time. It would take forever for us to flag down a server to get the check, and every time we would talk to our waitress I felt like we were being attacked...she was a pretty pushy saleswoman! Talent! But annoying. It was as if she thought we could be suckered into buying more food because we weren't as "experienced" as the older guests...which we aren't I guess but please make your aggressive marketing more discreet lol. Overall not displeased but not impressed either.
(3)Carolynn T.
I'd come here just for the poke and drinks. I didn't like this fish plate I got that's supposedly closest to the Hawaiian butterfish.... Which was a huge disappointment because it was super dry and hard to swallow.

I sort of came here on a whim for lunch because I had seen some friends who came here and raved about it, and of course the nice 4-star yelp reviews help. My coworker was down so we made the trek out here to Campbell's prune yard (bracing the busy lunch hour!) to grab a bite. We were quickly sat down as we arrived before 12, but after 12 I noticed the place getting quite packed and people were waiting for seats in the front so I'd recommend you come here early. We grabbed an order of sweet potato fries while waiting in the back.The fries were good, I liked the sweet and sour dipping sauce especially, but felt like at $6 it was a bit overpriced for the portion. In general, for lunch, this place is pricey. I don't know if their prices stay the same for dinner, but I think in general $15/plate for a sit-down place for dinner seems to be pretty reasonable, even cheap ... but $15 for lunch plus an appetizer makes it almost $20 before tax and tip and that .... is a bit extravagant for lunch IMO. Despite the price tag, I liked the place, their fish was delicious, and everything was fresh, tasted great and well prepared. My only complaint is that my Korean BBQ bowl had so much sauce on the bottom, and it was SO salty I thought I was eating a spoonful of salt instead of a spoonful of brown rice. It was so bad I left the rest of the rice in the bowl and didn't end up eating it. Next time I'm going to ask them to go easy on the sauce or maybe ... not at all! In the end, I'll definitely be back to try other goodies, and maybe even their attractive looking happy hour!

Yeah I love this place!! Was initially drawn into eating lunch there for some grilled fish! The name sold me from seeing it while making a right turn. The first time I went I got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, coleslaw and a salad. Super delish! The Ahi Tuna sandwich made me super full---just half. I ended up eating the other half for dinner. The next time I went I ordered the Poke Trio (it had a special price on the menu that week). I got the Lomo Lomo (salmon poke), White Tuna (flavored with Yuzi) and Traditional Poke ("red Tuna). All of them were delicious, but the the Traditional can't be beat, Lomo Lomo was interesting and the White Tuna although had tons of seasonings the flavor still came off too "fishy" for me but was still delicious, jut too much fish after taste when I'd swallow. Came with seaweed salad. Yum. Also, made me full I had half again to give my brother for dinner. (He's a SJSU student, so I know he needed a change from the commons). The waitress second time around was really busy and felt she didn't give us adequate service. She was great for being busy, but I think she thought it was cute that me and my baby bro were super catching up during lunch so she gave us a complimentary dessert on her. How sweet. We ordered the Mochi Fondue (vanilla, chocolate and coffee mochi ice cream balls with chocolate pocky sticks for dipping and warm chocolate sauce) Super delish. What's nice is when they greet you, they give you edemame's and pretzel flavored goldfish crackers to munch on while you wait. Decor is modern and this restaurant is super spacious.

Let me start off by saying that the staff there was wonderful. The baristas not only bartended, they waited tables, and bussed them too. They have bussers, yet the bartender went out of his way to clear the tables of empty cups (possibly because they were low at the bar). The manager even popped his head in at our table to make sure that we had everything we needed. We tried their fish and chip platter, which was made with white cod. The first couple of bites were good, but after that the fish began to taste more and more bland. It came with fries, which you had the option of getting sweet potato, regular, or spicy. I was hesitant in trying the spicy ones, but the waitress recommended that I get 1/2 and 1/2; out of the two, the spicy ones were my favorite. The regular fries could have stayed in the fryer a minute longer because mine were a tad bit under cooked. We also ordered the Lets Get Saucy roll, which is ABSOLUTELY a must try. It was $7 during happy hour and well worth every penny. Overall I'd say that I would try it again, but they definitely need to step it up on their seasoning of the fried fish. I love seasoning and plain fish just isn't the business. -I did catering for a couple of years, and I truly appreciate good customer service. So I have to give credit to my server Tatum, she gave great recommendations along with great customer service, and a smile. *Their outside seating looked very serene, but it was just too hot to not sit inside with the nice cool AC.
(4)Tiffany N.
Ehhhh, probably won't be coming back. I'd come here for a light lunch. There really isn't much aside from rice bowls, fish tacos, and sandwiches. I was expecting some really good seafood, but it wasn't my lucky day.
(3)Tram N.
The food is pretty expensive, especially for appetizers! But pricing doesn't do justice unless the taste is impeccable to match. In this case, I thought the restaurant lacked. For starters: Sweet potato fries: Similar to any other restaurant Pacific Ceviche Trio: Pretty freakin' expensive as I only like the Hawaiian Poke out of the three. I thought the Baja shrimp was so sour and the Peruvian is not memorable. I do love that they were all served with chips. Oyster Basket: Yummy! The fries were whatever, but I really liked the fried oysters. My favorite dish and most memorable. Entrees: Special of the day - forgot the actual name but it had swordfish. EXTREMELY dry, wouldn't get it again. Hawaiian Teriyaki ricebowl: Nothing special not great or memorable Korean BBQ ricebowl: ^ It was VERY annoying when we had to chase down the server to get the check -- probably stopped checking up on us 30 mins prior. I understand the restaurant is busy on a Friday night, but they don't call it a job for nothin'. I wouldn't come back again.
(2)Lisbeth G.
Surprisingly this place has amazing shrimp tacos even though it is a sushi place. I also really like the sushi. Usually I get take out. Nice casual place if you want to sit inside & have a margarita.
(4)Jessica P.
Ate there today and have for a while now -I guess about once a month or so. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant is really modern and classy. The food is really good, love the salmon and mahi mahi.
(4)Jessica T.
I had the 3 taco plate with chicken and it was DRY! Our waiter took forever with our bill, napkins etc. My sister and I had the cioppino too along with other drinks. cioppino and our drinks were good and so was the cioppino. Everything was $75 which was pretty darn expensive for below average food. I love the restroom though. Very nice and clean, but not the food.
(2)Debbie S.
I really like this restaurant. There is outdoor seating and some good seats in the bar area as well. The food is very good. They have excellent rice bowls. The Korean BBQ bowl with sticky ribs is one of my favorite dishes. I also love the fish tacos. They have a variety of dishes to choose from. Service is good, and there is usually not a wait to get in. Great place for lunch or dinner!
(4)Abbey V.
Been to Pacific Catch three times now, and each time it has been fantastic. I always go with whatever the waiter/waitress recommends. Each time, they are spot on and very willing to make suggestions. Yesterday, we tried crab and shrimp dumplings which were cooked perfectly. There was also a Sole dish, which is on special this week and next - and if you see this before it's too late - GO! Go. Go now. I'm not sure of the name but it was the best fish dish I've had. No joke. GO!

After waiting 45 minutes buzzer goes off, go in and hostess tells us it was an accident. I specifically ask her if it needs to be reset and was told "No, it will go off again. You have 1 party ahead of you." After a few parties get seated I approach and ask again and sure enough our name was ERASED off the list! So after waiting over an hour with 2 small children you can imagine how upsetting this was. The staff is overwhelmed at the front with phone calls, to go orders and people waiting for seating on a busy night. I believe at that point it was the manager who steps in and immediately seats us. He is apologetic and comps our trio poke appetizer which was very tasty and probably the best thing we had. These were all the correct moves and along with the friendly waitress and decent food it saved them from getting just one star. Hubby had their special cod for the night and I had the Korean sticky ribs. Both were just average. Summary: -hostesses need better training -decent, but a bit overpriced food -very loud inside, hard to have a conversation
(3)Richard G.
4.5 stars to be exact and the only reason why it isn't 5 stars is because of the awkward booths in this place. I came here on a date and she has to eat from a gluten free menu and Pacific Catch was a great match, We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer and tasted great. I optioned for the fish and chips (Fries & sweet potatoe) fries and tasted excellent. My date ordered the steel-head fish with brown rice & asparagus and looked equally yummy. Overall I was pretty impressed with Pacific Catch as well as she was and we plan on returning again real soon.

*Warning - Long Review* I am only writing a long review here because our experience was atypical for dining somewhere for our first time. If everything was fine and dandy, my review would probably be short and be just about the food, but this was a little different. My husband, our friend, and I came here for our first time for lunch. We made a reservation for noon because it was available on yelp and we didn't know how busy it would get. I arrived and said to the host "I have a reservation, but the other 2 in my party are just finding parking" he says "ok" and doesn't tell me to have a seat or if he is going to bring me to a table or anything. I didn't know if he was going to take us to our table or if another server would, so I just took a seat. Every party that came after me, he would ask "Would you like to be seated now, or wait for your party?".. Would have been nice to be given that option too.. I feel like he could have been more.. approachable. Once the rest of my party came, we got seated right away. By the time our server came by to check on us and if we wanted drinks, we were ready to order. I got the Korean rice bowl with 1/2 salad, 1/2 white rice with salmon and sticky ribs, and my husband and our friend got the poke sampler. Once I got my order, I gave one rib to my husband and one to our friend. My husband found saran wrap plastic with his rib. This was after I was done eating half my bowl. I told the server and he took the plastic and brought it to the attention of the kitchen and manager. The manager came out and apologized, offered a replacement, but I wasn't in the mood to finish the rest of my bowl. He explained that the ribs are pre-portioned with saran wrap and it must have not been taken off correctly. He took the entree off of our bill, which I appreciated. The ribs had more of a chinese 5-spice flavored glaze to it than a Korean flavor. I liked it fine, but it wasn't what I expected. The salmon was ok, nothing special. I'm glad I got half salad because they do give you plenty of rice, even if it's half portioned. Overall, the bowl was a pretty big portion. My husband and our friend said the poke was good, but still didn't beat the fresh poke we've had from Kauai. My husband said some of the poke seemed like it was marinated too long and some of the poke was fresh while some didn't have that "fresh" texture. I decided, since this was our first time there, I wanted dessert. We ordered the dulce de leche spring rolls, the brownie sundae, and pressed coffee. Since we had a good view of where the food came out for pick up, I saw our desserts ready for us. The desserts were just sitting there for 15-20 minutes and they still have not brought it to our table. I would have thought, that maybe if another server saw that this dessert dish with ice cream was out for awhile, they would have taken it to our table or told the other server. The kitchen actually decided to re-make it before they brought it to our table because by the time the server got to it, it was probably not fresh enough. Because dessert took so long, the server took it upon himself and used one of the social media promos to take one dessert off of our bill. The dulce de leche spring roll was ok. Nothing to rave about. When the server explained it to me, I thought it was going to be similar to like deep fried ice cream, but it wasn't. It was basically a sweet cream cheese mixture fried in an eggroll wrapper, and served with ice cream and caramel. The brownie sunday was really rich. The brownie itself was pretty chocolaty and dense, and you definitely needed to balance it with ice cream. In the end we were there for an hour and half. Our lunch really shouldn't have taken us that long, and as a result, my husband was almost late for work. I appreciated them taking things off our bill because of the situation, but I wouldn't have mind paying the price for these plates if we didn't have those experiences. I would come back, they look like they have a lot of good things to try on their menu, and I do like the ambiance. I just hope my experience is better next time.

My place of choice when I'm craving an ahi or poke bowl! I've tried other items on the menu too which were mostly seasonal, but I know I can always count on their bowls to be consistent. I usually opt for the ahi or poke tossed in wasabi soy sauce, over half salad and half brown rice because they're generous with the rice portions. Other items I've tried: -Ceviche trio (good but slightly pricey) -Crab sandwich on sourdough (fantastic! too bad it's seasonal) -Fish tacos (good, and various options to choose from) -Spicy fries (yum, choose this when presented the option) -Grilled mahi mahi (just okay) While perusing the menu, there are little dishes of shelled edamame and pretzel goldfish crackers for you to snack on. You will also be offered either still water or sparkling water (at no charge!) Great for birthday dinners, family outings, date nights, or casual lunches with friends.
(4)Sherene G.
I tried this place for the first time today. I tried a little bit of everything. The food was delicious!!!! However, a few hours later I started vomiting non stop! The food from the restaurant was the only thing I had today. Maybe it was the poke or the thai curry rice bowl...
(3)Michael W.
One of the selling points of moving to Campbell was having a Pacific Catch close by. I had been to the one in SF and was a big fan of the rice bowls. This place is smaller then the SF location so sometimes it's hard to get seats unless you make reservations. However they are listed on OpenTable so making reservations is pretty easy. The sticky ribs are heaven on earth and I just can't get enough of them. This place loses 1 star because of the Pruneyard parking lot.
(4)Linda L.
Great service from Salvador. He's been friendly and recommended the specials which turned out to be absolutely delicious. My family and I tried all the specials and my favorite would have to be the Ono dish with the mashed potatoes and arugula. The Cedar Plank Salmon was not all its cracked up to be but nonetheless, good. A must have would be the trio poke. It's flavorful and tastes great with these specialty drinks they offer. If you love alcohol as much as I do, try the summer thyme peach and ask for less syrup. Bourban and peach could have not tasted any better together. Tried the strawberry basil lemonade (vodka of course) was great but too sweet for me. Overall, I'd get my seafood needs here and would bring anyone who loves seafood to this place.
(5)Nikki W.
I love this place, my favorite is their Hawaiian ahi poke bowls. Most delicious dish ever! You can get it as all rice or salad, both are delicious. It's their sauce that makes it. I Keep coming back and can't bring myself to order anything else.
(4)Kendall R.
WOW. I didn't expect to love this place as much as I did. I wasn't in the mood for sushi, and surprisingly they had even some non-fishy offerings for the picky palletted man in my life. While We Waited: Little Edamame & Pretzel Goldfish (surprisingly, really good!) My Order: Fish & Chips (light, fluffy, fresh and flaky white fish-- obviously never frozen. Steamed veggies and french fries didn't dissapoint-- tartar sauce was perfect. Even weeks after, I've still got a craving to go back and get another order of the fish and chips. It was amazingly not greasy. I'll be returning.
(5)Paula C.
This is my new favorite restaurant! From only one visit, with many more to come, here's my quick take: Lovely environment; every single person was friendly (authentically so, not syrupy); service was perfect, attentive, and fast; food was fresh, extremely tasty and well-balanced with flavor, color and texture; and best of all... every KIDS' ITEM come with SEASONAL VEGETABLE! There seems to be many choices for different tastes, vegetarian, meat, and non-gluten can be found or created. I read the review about finding a bug in the salad (ugh... not appetizing), however, it further proves that the food is fresh enough that a bug would eat it, vs. being slathered in pesticide. It seems that they are extremely popular and busy...mistakes are inevitable when it's packed with waits of 45 minutes. I'll be going back again and again...strategizing for the quieter hours, rather than flirting with disappointment inevitable in the midst of the demanding masses.
(5)Ruth C.
Okay food, but prices seemed a bit high to me . $5.50 for a side of plain. steamed broccoli? nothing really special about. the grilled salmon. I went back twice since they were able to offer a simple salmon and vegetable dinner the first time. The second time I tried their traditional poki, but I made the mistake of doing the "bowl" option and got a bunch of other stuff with it (rice, salad, seaweed salad, ginger, advocado, etc.) that I probably could have done without. Oh well. It was good none-the-less.
(3)Desmond T.
I had been to the Marina/Cow Hollow location in SF and expected this place to be just as good. This location is incredibly spacious, more so than Marina. It's very clean and has a modern decor. What I don't like about this place is the random pillars that stick out at some of the tables, taking up precious space. What could have been an ideal seating for 4 was established for a measly 2 person table. Service was commendable. Our waiter was fast and professional. He jotted our orders quickly, brought our drinks within seconds, all the while being patient with us since the moment we arrived. They give out free refills on non-alcoholic drinks which is a huge plus! The Pan-Asian Wasabi Bowls [$15] are delicious. GIGANTIC portions which will fill you up. I had a very difficulty time finishing this. The wasabi is embedded in the rice which gives a nice spice. You have your choice of Hawaiian Poke, Grilled Salmon [+$1], Seared Ahi, or Crab Salad. The Hawaiian Poke and Seared Ahi are definitely the ones to get and they give you plenty of fish. Overall, lots of flavor going down. Prices are a bit up there, but considering it's seafood, what do you expect. Great place for a casual lunch/dinner.
(4)Danielle T.
Pacific catch was really good. I've been here twice. I like their food, but I like their atmosphere more. I feel like I am at an open restaurant in SoCal by the beach when I'm there. It gets pretty crowded, so I would recommend that you make reservations in advance. My boyfriend and I love this place and their poke temporarily satisfies our craving for poke down in Huntington Beach, but it isn't the same style. Good place for special occasions or weekend dinner!
(4)Priscilla O.
The first thing I noticed about this place was how open and spacious the restaurant was. The booths can be a little weird when there's a big pillar right in your table...but that's alright. :P My servers have always been polite and attentive. Attentiveness is great when all their non-alcoholic drinks are re-fillable. Yup...even the thai tea. In one sitting, I go through about 3 drinks, so it's well worth the amount I pay. I usually take one to-go on my way out too. :) My favorite thing to get is their pan-asian bowls. My favorite has been the hawaiian with either steak or wild salmon. I usually order it with half brown rice and half veges. It's so light and delicious! Huge portions. I also have tried the pokes. They're all pretty good. Not like, fresh from hawaii good, but not bad. Really recommend for a nice lunch or light dinner. :)
(4)Ruthie V.
I loved the green tea to start off the meal. I could tell it was a quality tea and I got a nice pot of hot water and some honey. It was most enjoyable on a day that was unexpectedly cool and blustery outside. I ordered the Steelhead Salmon. It was a special with some really nice vegetables that were cooked al dente. The fish had a good texture but for the most part it had no flavor. So I used some of my bf's wasabi vinigarette sauce on the top and that took care of it! He had the meal sized ahi salad. It was good and fresh but like the steelhead, it had no flavor. I like the ambience. Modern, not too fancy and the blue bottles turned into lights that were hanging from part of the a-framed ceiling were very cool. Looked like a DIY project I'd like to try someday. It was Saturday afternoon and the parking wasn't bad. We were able to find a space right out front.
(4)T S.
Love the food, can't put my finger on why the bowls are so addictive but as long as it's legal, I'm all in! The restaurant is beautiful and clean, the food presentation is great, the wait staff are fantastic. Never had a less than fantastic dinner.
(5)Maricar F.
Food was good but at the time we tried this place for the first time, the service was super slow. The patio area is nice- great for big parties.
(2)GiGi G.
We love getting the ahi poke appetizer and the wasabi ahi sandwich (sub salad for fries). Their Mai tais are fabulous.
(5)Patty O.
Had the wasabi bowl with Hawaiian poke and it was tasty and the serving was huge. The menu is expansive and the interior of the restaurant was modern looking and clean. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Fish chips and edamame beans are served as free appetizers.
(4)Stacy P.
Tried this place again and last night ( Friday ) at 8:00 I was not impressed with the service yet again. They were 30min late on our reservation and my mothers artichoke came out burnt. Apparently no one was doing quality control on the items going out on the kitchen. It's such a shame that they are extremely slow and don't always pay attention to detail because their food is great ( when it doesn't come out burnt ) and their drinks are delicious. 2 stars only because I like their food.
(2)Emily Z.
Came here for lunch with a work colleague and was promptly seated around noon. Obviously their menu is seafood, although the flavors are kind of all over the map. You've got Hawaiian-based options, but then there's also fish and chips, special of the day, and Thai ice tea etc. Since it's poke fest, I went with the poke trio ($19), and picked garlic shrimp/california ahi/yuzu albacore. The seafood was really fresh, and although the flavors were a bit more americanized than I'm used to for poke, you could definitely still taste the fish. The portion was just right, and each poke dish definitely had a good amount of fish. I wasn't really expecting much considering their prices are not as expensive as other seafood restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised and definitely will be coming back before poke fest is over!
(5)Amanda D.
Will keep it short and sweet. WE LOVE PACIFIC CATCH. Service is always on point (Most often we sit at the bar) and we've never had a meal or drink we didn't LOVE. The rice bowls are to die for (i always order half rice half salad which is a nice option), and their management and staff always go above and beyond. SO HAPPY this spot opened up sooo close to home for us, considering i prefer to order from their impressive cocktail menu and then cab home :)
(5)H T.
this was my first time at pacific catch down in the s. bay, but i always enjoyed the ones in sf. i always get the same thing - poke salad, and it's delicious. the portion is also gigantic, but of course, i could eat the entire thing. we also got a roll to share which was a flash fried albacore roll w/ avocado, no rice. yum!
(4)Ashley L.
Hmmm where should I start??? Yelp has let me down on this one... Wanted some seafood on a Friday night and this place came up on Yelp. So we decided to give this place a try. I figure that since it was already past 8pm, the restaurant might not be that busy...but I was wrong. We still waiting about 45 mins, which was okay for a Friday night without a reservations. Got seated and it took a little bit for our server to come greet us and give us water. Our food took a while to come out as well and our server was no where to be found when we wanted our check. We sat there for a good 15 mins before we spot her and waved her down. Items we ordered: Original Tuna Poke - Out of all our dishes, this was the best one...and it was over salted. I think who ever was putting together this dish got salt happy. Spice Rubbed Mahi Mahi - There wasn't much flavors to this sandwich and you can taste that the fish wasn't fresh. This dish came with spicy fries and it was over seasoned and not spicy at all. Swordfish - hmmmm.... very bland fish. Again, this fish wasn't fresh and it was over cook. This was served over brown rice and I think that was the best part of the dish. The more I chew on this fish, the harder it was to swallow. After dinner, we weren't feeling so well and we both agreed that it was the fish that cause it. Don't think we will be coming back here.
(2)Iris B.
The restaurant is in a nice Campbell area next to Marshall's. Beautiful interior, very detailed with each designs that they have. Great atmosphere and good music playing. We came here for lunch, our waiters were attentive and kind. We started off with shrimp ceviche. Then I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich and he ordered mix catch basket under fish and chips. He loved the food here, I wasn't so pleased. Very average food, nothing special. Probably won't come back because nothing stood out. Great service though!

We tried this restaurant on one of our date nights. We had the poke sampler with a few different tastes. It was really yummy. I ordered the special of the day while the boy ordered the cioppino (sp?). Both dishes were quite tasty. To be honest, it was a nice dinner, but nothing that particularly knocked our socks off that would require us to return.

As I was lining up for the BWW coupon, a lady mentioned this place and how they had good poke. I've heard about this spot before but never had a chance to try it out, until yesterday. It was by luck their was one here at the Pruneyard in Campbell because my brother works at the Bank Of America located on the opposite side of Pacific Catch. We came around lunch time and it was a little busy but not packed. It was mainly businessmen and businesswomen. We were seated the moment we entered. We ordered the calamari which was decent, it had a zing to it. I continued on to order the Japanese wasabi bowl with poke along side with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 greens. I saw that tip on here so I tried it. The portion was very big I didn't even finish mine! We also came here to celebrate my Aunt's birthday and for the "cake" it was the Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls". Damn that was soooo good. You have to try it if you get a chance to come here! Only downside is that it's a little pricey.

My sister had her birthday dinner here, and I was excited to try it since it had pretty good Yelp reviews. It was great that they accommodated a large party. We sat outside which was really nice. Really nice restaurant with nice decor. Our server was also really nice and helpful, since it was a lot of people's first time there. I got ordered the Hawaiian Poke and the Inside out roll. She kind of messed up on mine and some people's order, but they were nice and switched it out immediately. I really loved the poke, but the inside out roll but ok. It was nothing special for the price. =/ I also tried the white tuna poke, and that was also really really good! My boyfriend got the fish n chips, and really liked the fish, but the fries were over-seasoned. Didn't really get to ask others what they thought of their food, but other than that it was a good restaurant.

It was good. This was the first time I went to this joint. The wife and I had the sword fish and the mahi salad. More gluten free options would be great but I am a hippy now and do not expect the rest of the world to catch on yet. All though everyone should. Gluten sucks. Anywho... great and friendly staff, clean establishment, and good food. Go eat here and get your omega 3's on!
(4)Larry R.
Our second visit to Pacific Catch, for lunch this time. Love the freshness of our entrees and starters. Excellent flavor and taste, matched with excellent service. The Baja Shrimp Ceviche was so good and their salads are a meal on its own. Pacific Catch is now on my personal list of to go to restaurants.
(5)Jen H.
Pretty solid food, service was just mediocre! This is in the pruneyard. This is the second Pacific Catch I been to. The other one was in SF. I ordered the Island Taco platter: 1) Pacific Steak 2) Mahi Mahi We came here on a Wednesday night. Overall, I would come back.
(4)Stephanie H.
Four stars because f is for fantastic. Then again five has an f too. ANYWAY Pacific Catch has a stellar ambiance and great service. Our waitress was very professional, checked up on us frequently, and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered: Dungeness crab and corn soup: Wow, you must try this one. It's a small size, but it is so worth it. Bonus points for not being too salty. Steelhead fish special: Awesome. There was a perfect amount of sauce. Mahi Mahi: Awesome. It was cooked splendidly and came with a bed of beans and black rice. California roll: Although the crab was good, there was no flavor and it wasn't authentic sushi. Not to mention it was $9. The pieces are very big though. I am VERY picky about my fish because so many restaurants don't know how to cook fish well. Usually other places pan sear fish and it comes out dry. Pacific Catch does a stellar job cooking their fish so it's flavorful and not left dry. Overall I had a wonderful meal here and I would definitely come back and try other dishes. Minus one star for being pricey and for having less than desirable sushi.

This place has great poke bowls and some other delicious options. They have a pretty large menu, from grilled fish to seafood sandwiches and tacos. Service was prompt, and they have somehow managed to make a restaurant in the middle of landlocked Campbell feel like it could be close to water. Something about the decor being kind of simple and open. It's a little loud and can be kind of pricey, but a great option when you want something different compared to what you usually find in the South Bay.
(4)Stacy H.
I'm rating this place 2 stars because the SERVICE HERE SUCKS! I came on a Saturday night with my stepdad. It took us 10 minutes to get a waitress' attention for our drink orders and then she disappeared for another 10 minutes and then our drinks arrived. I ordered the mint lemonade (which was refreshing) and my stepdad ordered the kona longboard. We then ordered the mahi mahi tacos and I ordered the trio of poke (regular, salmon and california). The food was great, but our waitress ended up only checking in on us once and when we were trying to get the dessert menu, she disappeared again! We waited almost 20 minutes at that point that we asked for a check from someone else and left. I understand that we came later on in the night, but seriously! I won't be coming back here again.
(2)Megan S.
Fish place but surprisingly super vegetarian friendly. Almost any bowl can be made with tofu. Food is excellent. I got a tofu salad. Beautiful presentation and taste. I came here with a large party. Service was super nice but only one server for table of 20 people. So lunch took awhile. For table of 20, I would have excepted 3 to 4 servers. Not one. Took her awhile to get around table and get everything, everyone needs. But server did well considering the circumstances.
(4)Aggie N.
I'd only ever been to the location in SF/marina before and this place was new and huge in comparison. The derive was excellent and the food was fresh and flavorful (and big portions!). We also sat on the semi-outdoor patio which was a treat. We started with the original poke and I had the wasabi rice bowl with seared ahi. Everything was delicious but I wish I tasted the spice of the wasabi a bit more and $16 was a little expensive to me for a rice bowl (albeit the portion was huge and ingredients fresh). Overall, great spot.
(4)Joanna T.
Yum yum yum. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant! Everything looked so clean and upscale, yet casual at the same time. Honestly food isn't cheap, but it's not crazy either. Ordering an appetizer and a roll filled both my bf and I and costed $40. Definitely order the poke trio so you can try a little of everything. Tip: you can also choose the Baja shrimp civeche that's not listed as one of the choices as a plate. I love ceviche and thought this avocado-based ceviche was super good! If you're extra hungry you should probably order that as an appetizer on its own so you can get more :) The firecracker salmon roll actually had cooked salmon, as I was expecting it to be raw. But it was still good. I normally really hate sprouts, but these weren't bad at all. I would definitely recommend to check out this place. Service was both friendly and attentive :)
(4)Kathy R.
This restaurant is probably as good as you will ever find. I love the food here so much that whenever I fly into San Jose, this is the FIRST place I go. The food is always wonderful and the service perfect! I usually have a taco plate with the shrimp or steak mixed tacos and fries. If you are near this restaurant - please go. Good food, reasonable prices! Thanks Pacific Catch!!
(5)Gill P.
Good Service Fish and Chips were great. The Black Cod with brown rice was just ok. The carrot ginger bisque with coconut shrimp was great.
(3)Sherry C.
Came here after attending a Mark Allen's speech at the Sports Basement. Our party had the following: Pan-Asian rice bowls Japanese wasabi bowl + Hawaiian poke - You get a choice of white or brown rice or in my case half-and-half. The poke came in abundance but was not spicy enough so I had to add some sriracha sauce. I believe the poke was purposely kept mild so people can crank up the heat if needed. Hawaiian teriyaki + grilled salmon - The grilled salmon with the pineapple and sauce were simply delicious! They got the salmon grilled to perfection Overall the rice bowls were good and you will definitely not leave hungry with the amount of rice they give you. And for dessert, we had fried dulce de leche "spring rolls". This is a must if you have a sweet tooth. The creamy "spring roll" filling was really rich and yummy.

Our family came here on Mother's Day and it was quite packed. The wait time was an hour and half according to the Hosted. So we were given a buzzer to let us know we we're next. Since it was a wait, there is a Marshall next door for a little kill time. But no longer than half an hour and the buzzer went off. So we left Marshall and went back to the resturant. As we were seated. We waited about 5 minute before our server came around. She was Nice and helpful when we need her even though it was quite busy. Starters Thai-style Steamed Clams $12 Little Skookum Manila clams, Lemongrass Ginger Broth, & Grilled Croutons. This Dish was awesome, the clams were perfectly cooked and the broth went amazing well with the clams. Only down fall was the two slice of bread/crouton was not enough for us to enjoy this dish to its fullest. Because the broth was so good, that we had to ask for more Bread which is an addition $1.50. Also looking at the picture that is advertise on the board. Our dish looks a little skimpy. Baja Shrimp Ceviche $9 Lime, Serrano Chili, Avocado, Cilantro, & a side of Tortilla Chip. Everything on this dish went well together. Only thing we didn't expect, was for them to put full piece of shrimp in the dish. Also the amount of tortilla chip ratio to the Ceviche was not enough. We had to ask for more Chip. Cabo Calamari $10 Crispy Calamari, Lemon Slices, Fresno Chilies Spicy Chipotle Aioli The Calamari was perfectly seasoned and crisped. The aioli sauce wasn't over powering the calamari, but it does have a kick. so if you can't do spicy, I wouldn't recommend it. But if your brave enough. Try it. But for $10 buck,the amount on this dish is reasonable. Hawaiian Poke Trio $19 Wonton Crisps, Seaweed Salad, Daikon Salad Apparently a lot of people get this confuse, but the Trio means we get items listed below and including three type of poke from their list of creations. Our choices were, Ahi Serrano Sweet Onions, Spicy Aioli, & Serrano Chilies. Salmon Avocado, Green Onion, Toasted Shallot Oil, & Lemon. White Tuna Yuzu Citrus, Fresno Chilies, White Soy Sauce, & Red Onion. I would say is what you read listed under each creations is what you gonna get. Out of all three my favorite would be the White Tuna. Because the Citrus & White Soy Sauce Combo went well together with the White Tuna and made me want more. Sushi Roll Firecracker Salmon $12.5 Tempura Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber Daikon Sprouts, Shallots, & Sriracha Aioli We decided to choose this one because it was appealing to us. But boy, were we wrong. It came out looking mouth water and flavorful, but had no flavor to it. Even the Sriracha Aioli couldn't do it justice. The Tempura was plain and had no seasoning in it. Usually I enjoy sushi without the help of soy sauce or other condiments. But when I do, it because the sushi need a little help. Fish & Chips Mixed Catch Basket $15 Two Pieces of Alaskan True Cod, Three Coconut Shrimp, Three Crispy Oysters, Jalapeño Tartar & our side choice was Sweet Potato Fries. My step dad was a little disappointed on the out come of the dish. It came out looking a little burnt. But he still enjoyed the sweet potato fries. and the crispy oysters. It also came with two dipping sauce(tarter sauce & sweet and sour) and a tiny serving of cold slaw. Definitly need to give us a little bit more of the tarter sauce because it was gone with a couple of dips. [SPECIAL] Miso-Glazed Black Cod $25 Local Black Cod, Tempura Vegetable Salad, Spinach, Brown Rice, Ginger Daikon Tempura Sauce This dish was Horrible. MOST DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE. The Black Cod was definitely glazed in the miso but was bitter and not seasoned at all. Could of use some salt and pepper. The Tempura Vegetable was plain but i guess that's what the ginger sauce was for. And the brown rice was hard and dried. Will and most definitely not recommend this dish to anyone. Reason this place gotten a two star from our family was because the service was awesome and had a nice feel to the place. And a couple of winning dishes. But we had better at other places. But it's not a place we shall come back to for a while or maybe even not, just because the food wasn't all pleasing.

Celebrated birthday dinner with our daughter Kaye... Food was amazing and our hostess Tiffany is fantastic!!! She was very attentive and had a smiling face the whole time. We highly recommend Pacific Catch to everyone!!!
(5)Emily P.
I took one of my best friends here for her birthday dinner. It was the first time here for the both of us. This is a very spacious restaurant and well set up. They have a full bar on one side that has TVs to watch whatever current sports game is on. They also have a covered outside patio area that can be rented out for events. I went by the Yelp reviews and had to get the sweet potato fries with the ginger wasabi aioli, sweet Thai chili sauce. I had to say they were just OK to me and actually would have preferred to just eat them with ranch (which they didn't have). In the Yelp reviews, a lot of people wrote about the Pacific Ceviche Trio. They didn't have it on the menu. I guess it was a special that they serve occasionally?? What I ordered and really loved were the: -Korean Sticky Ribs starter: these were so tasty good, the presentation of the food was perfect and the portion was perfect -Island Taco Platter (2 tacos): I had the Traditional Baja and the Pacific Steak tacos. The Traditional Baja was my favorite but they were both really good. The tacos were a lot bigger than I expected that I couldn't finish them both. Rather have it big than too small!
(4)Davelyn C.
SUCH A GREAT PLACE! We came with our two pups and had to get outdoor seating but they were very accommodating even though we were constantly moving around and asking for different things (turning the heater on, more chairs, etc.) The food was excellent. I got the poke trio with the salmon, ahi, and california pokes and all were awesome. The wonton chips were so light and crispy and I loved the seaweed salad. The sandwiches were great too with soft bread (which I love). The mochi fondue was good but pretty small. I would suggest getting the dulce de leche dessert! Amazing.
(5)Janet H.
Solid food! If you're craving for some poke, I definitely recommend it here. They have a lot to offer on their menu, so I feel like it's a crowd pleaser. Get anything poke and you're good to go.
(4)Bonnie P.
Love this place when I crave fish. Having grown up in Hawaii, this place isn't "authentic," but the quality of food is pretty good if you're not expecting the real stuff. Food isn't cheap here though. Expect to spend over$15+ per person without tip or appetizers.
(4)Moo S.
Ok, these guys deserve the upgrade to 4 stars. I've been back at least a dozen times since the last review, and I'm glad to report that my lackluster experience was never repeated. I now give kudos to PC for being very consistent, in terms of service and food quality. This is a great place to come for nice ambiance (take note of their noise-mitigating design details), tasty food, large servings, and friendly waitstaff. I've always been satisfied with the service wherever I'm seated (the dining room, the patio, a communal table, or at the bar), my food has always been flavorful, and I'm super happy that they know how to make a good cocktail!
(4)Akemi H.
Came here the other night for my first time with a friend and I like it. It's a nice size place, the bar looks lively. The only thing was the lighting inside is on the dark side. It's set for like a date night, like it's meant for a couples only place. So going with a group of friends, you might feel kinda weird lol. I went on a Tuesday night and that night they were having 50% all wine bottles. Happy hour was from 4pm to 6pm. We didn't make that. We had reservations, and even @ that we had to wait a little. Our server was Daniel, I believe. He was really nice and asked if it was our first time there and I said yes for me. My friend had already been there. So he asked if I wanted any recommendations on anything, but I pretty much already had an idea of what I was going to order since my friend Edify what she got last time. They give you pretzel fish crackers and edamame as a little snack while you're waiting for your food to come out. I thought it was nice and funny. I've never seen a place whether it's a nice restaurant or not give those little fish crackers. I love them so from there this place had me lol. I order the Hawaiian Teryaki rice bowl with half brown rice and half greens and grilled mahi mahi. It was a big bowl size!! I ate most of it there, but took some home. The price for it was $16 without tax. It was really good!!! I'm going back for sure!
(4)Gracie B.
Come here all the time with my boyfriend. It's defiantly a spot we hit for date night! Absolutely love everything! I always start off with a California roll and then a chipotle chicken salad! Service is usually great! I would defiantly sit outside too, it's always better for less noise.
(5)Justin L.
I've been a fan of Pacific Catch for over a decade now. I started out going to the SF locations when I lived out there back in the day. Now that I've become suburbanized out in the South Bay, I get my Pac Catch fix on a pretty routine basis at the Campbell location near my home. 95% of the time I stick to my go-to fave which is the Korean Steak Bowl...always good. When I do occasionally stray from the routine, it's usually for one of their daily fish specials. That also has always proved to be a smart, fresh choice.
(4)melanie l.
I love this place!! This is seriously my favorite poke spot. The only downfall is that they can get way too packed during the weekends but I'm super happy for the manager to be able to accommodate my birthday party of 20 plus. My favorites to order from here are the poke (CA style is the best one here), the steak bahn mi sandwich is spicy but oh so yummy! Crazy strong Mai tais. They also have good lunch bowls, I usually get the salmon or ahi wasabi bowls (very generous on the serving too) you have to let them know half greens and half rice cuz they'll give you two big scoops of rice. Hmm just thinking bout all of this food is making me hungry. See you again soon pacific catch.
(4)Vee L.
I loooooooove this place. I don't really know many other places in the area with good poke. They have a few different kinds here. My favorite is the California Poke. It's a little heavy, but good nonetheless. I also like the Original, if you're feeling a little basic. Ahi serrano is a bit spicy so watch out! All the poke comes with wonton chips, and seaweed salad. I suggest getting a trio so you can try different kinds. I've also had a few of the rolls here. I've had the Ecstacy, Spicy Tuna, and Sunset. I think my favorite is the Ecstacy. It's a little different because there's no rice in the roll. I also really like the Ceviche, and Sweet Potato Fries for appetizers. During crab season they had a delicious spicy crab chowder. I think their chowders change every now and then. Service tends to be a bit slow, and expect a wait when you get here. It's usually packed. It's a bit on the pricey side as well. I like to go for happy. I think it's all worth the wait for the food though.
(4)Crystal H.
Almost all the things we ordered were way too salty. Needed plenty of water to wash the salt down. Poke Trio- Original Poke was way too salty. Ahi Serrano was perfect (loved this). White Tuna was bland. Salmon chowder- salty, I prefer clam chowder. Tacos- Mahi Mahi and traditional Baja were salty. Steak was delicious! Salmon poke tartare- too salty Sweet potato fries- these were so delicious! Not salty at all. The 2 glasses of white wine I had were nice. They allow you to taste the wine if you aren't sure you will like it or not. Service was great though. Manager and waitress were understanding when we told them how salty the food was. Manager took off $26 off our bill, which was nice. They dealed with our issue nicely.
(3)Nia J.
The Hawaiian poke salad is huge and delicious. The coconut shrimp appetizer is awesome. The Korean bbq ribs rice bowl is gigantic and deliciously spicy. The oyster entree is Amazing! The taco trio was a bit bland and the least favorite of our 6 entrees. We'll be back for sure.
(4)Psyche S.
Good stuff!!! From the decor to the ambience to the plating to the portion sizes to the taste, 4 stars indeed! We tried the calamari, salmon chowder, wasabi salad with dungeness, and the ecstasy roll. The calamari and the salmon chowder was VERY good! I chose to get the wasabi salad with the crab based on some of the pictures I saw, but in hindsight should have probably ordered with the ahi poke. It wasn't bad, just not GREAT. Same with the ecstasy roll, good but not great. Had the latter two been better, I would have had a hard time not giving them the all exclusive 5 starsy! The price was fair and the service was great! We will definitely stop by the next time we are in the area.
(4)Kathryn L.
Such a pleasant meal here! 6 of us came for a birthday dinner and tried our best to sample the best looking stuff. Loved the calamari...comes with fried lemon slices and fried sweet red peppers. The sweet sticky ribs were sweet sticky goodness, and the clam chowder was nice - larger potato and bacon pieces in a lighter than average chowder broth. I had the sole meunière and it was fresh...with sweet potato purée and veggies. For dessert, we had the dulce de leche and cream cheese filled egg rolls...it was okay. Service was nice and attentive; coming at 2pm definitely helps! Will be back to try their other offerings.
(4)Jacqueline N.
I was so excited to try this place for the longest time, but I was ultimately let down. First of all, the menu is a bit pricey for what it is. Apps are $10, rice bowls $16, salads $14, ect. The poke trio of ceviche, ahi macadamia nuts, and salmon appetizer: It comes with seaweed salad, crispy wonton strips, and some daikon veggies. The best fish was the ahi, however there were maybe 3 pieces of macadamia I saw in it?..so it was basically just shoyu ahi. The ceviche had a refreshing citrus flavor. The salmon was the least impressive, but I still liked it. If you're not planning on eating poke for your entree I would highly recommend getting this as an app Hawaiian poke bowl: SO MUCH RICE, the rice alone it's enough to feel 3 people honestly. I suppose this is how they justify the price and filling up the large bowl (size of a ramen bowl) tricky tricky pacific catch. The bowl came with sprouts, seaweed salad, daikon/cucumbers, slices of avocado, nori, and shoyu poke. Wasn't bad, but the rice was kind of mushy. Crabmelt with sweet potatoes: The fries were over cooked. The melt had too much mayo and barely any crab. Salmon sandwich with spicy fries: This also had a bit too much mayo, but you can scrap it off. It was a seared filet of salmon with avocado on a French roll. Much larger than the melt and more worth it. The fries were cooked and spiced perfectly. My sister originally ordered the melt but really didn't enjoy it. This was the first time she sent food back, the waitress and manager were very accommodating. However the service was a bit slow (but friendly), and the water offered was never chilled. Overall my party felt it wasn't bad, but for the price tag (meal was over $75 for 3 people) it definitely wasn't worth it.
(3)Matt W.
One of the few places that serves poke. For the taste and amount of poke in the pike trio meal, I would definitely recommend Pacific catch
(5)Maira C.
By far the best fried shrimp taco u have ever had in my life!! Ask for the SriRacha Aioli sauce for an extra kick. The calamari was also very delicious, crunchy and even had tentacles :) I tried the Kona longboard beer on draft and I wasn't disappointed. The offer samples for draft beer so don't be afraid to explore. Parking is a little tough since it is at the prune yard but it's a cute cozy place! Perfect for a first date. Patio area is great for people watching and it's also heated! Enjoy!!!
(5)Lenece D.
Great food! Always satisfied! The tacos, the sticky ribs, the desserts...delicious! I usually sit at the bar. Mike and Francine are awesome bartenders! Great customer service and great drinks!
(5)Swapna M.
My friends took me to dinner here. They said it was their favorite seafood spot so I was really interested in trying it out. I got one of their specials for the night. It was shrimp sauteed with garlic with glass noodles. I really loved this dish! It was flavorful and quite filling. One friend got the fish and chips which were pretty good. (Im not a big fish and chips fan) and the other got the shrimp tacos. Those were really good. I really liked the jalapeno tarter sauce that they put on them. Very flavorful and perfect amount of spice. I really wish I lived closer. I would totally come here all the time!
(4)Ly D.
I like Pacific Catch! Just make sure you make reservations beforehand because this place can get fairly crowded. The Japanese wasabi bowl with poke is wonderful if you're missing the islands! I always opt for full salad for a healthier option but you can choose either white or brown rice. Mine came with seaweed salad, ginger, avocado, poke & garden salad mix w/ wasabi dressing. There's also a third salad that's made with pickled cucumbers & carrots which I didn't care too much for. The tacos are delicious as well. My favorite was the shrimp, it's got some bacon bits & avocado inside... Yum. The bf chose the swordfish special last time we went & it was cooked SO well! We were pleasantly surprised. Some tips: if you want water, ask for ice water because their default is no ice. Service can be kinda slow so be prepared. Make sure you don't miss out on their complimentary pretzel goldfish & edamame! Munching on them makes the wait for food a little more bearable :)
(4)Christal W.
My husband and I went here last night night for dinner. I'm a huge fan of poke, so I knew I had to try their poke. I was not disappointed at all. I ordered the original which had a good portion - not too large or too small. It was great as a starter dish. I definitely want to go back to try their salmon poke and their ahi macadamia nut poke. Both sound really delicious. I ordered the Hawaiian rice bowl with teriyaki skirt steak with white rice. It was a really large portion. The rice bowl came with steamed carrots, grilled pineapple, mushrooms, edamame and the steak. It all tasted great. My husband didn't enjoy his dish as much. We had assumed that there would be more cooked fish options than what was in the menu. I enjoy raw fish, my husband not so much. I plan on coming back and hopefully, my husband will join me.
(4)Chris A.
One of the best, most reasonable happy hours I've found. Really nice mix of food options if you go with a picky crowd, and the service is super friendly and accommodating. I'd highly recommend.
(5)Emma P.
I'm not a huge sushi person at all, but I love this place! Parking is great and the servers are really great too. He was really attentive and even gave us a complimentary poke bowl. The tacos were really good. It comes with lettuce, beans, rice, and a variety of different toppings depending on the meat you get. (Sweet potato) fries come with it too! I think pacific steak is the best. The poke selection is to die for! I got ahi serrano, original (the free one), the salmon, and california style. The ahi serrano was my favorite! Soooo flavorful and it doesn't make you sick of it. The poke comes with chips and greens you can put on it. Enjoy!
(5)Lorraine C.
I'm kind of disappointed. I really liked Pacific Catch. We have been here numerous times and today was just not good. I had wilted lettuce in my $14.50 Ahi Salad. I thought it came with avocado, but when I asked....I was told no. Then strangely when I told my BF he could finish the salad he found the smallest slimmest sliver of avocado in the bowl....no more though. I thought I read on the menu it came with avocado, and I further thought it did when my dining partner order the exact same salad but his had avocado in it. Be it as well a very small amount. Honestly the wilted lettuce I had to pull out was more disappointing. So allow me to stop complaining about the lack of avocado that may....or may not actually come on the salad.
(2)Trang B.
So pleasantly surprised! Reservations available, great service, fair price for the food, and of course fantastic food. Nothing snarky or rude to say about this place. Poke trio - At the server's recommendation, we got the ahi serrano, california style, and the original. The serrano was my favorite because it packed a light kick, and I don't like avacado so that one was out. Definitely recommend. Mixed catch - I liked the kick in the jalepeno tartar sauce. And the spicy fries were good. I wasn't really chowing down on this because I wasn't in the mood for fried things. Japanese Wasabi bowl with seared ahi - SO YUMMY. I'm usually scared of wasabi but it didn't burn too much and mixed really well with the rice. Loved everything in it. Sweet potato fries - comes with a ginger wasabi sauce. One of the better sweet potato fries I've had? Meh, I'm mostly just oogling over the poke and bowls
(5)Jocelyn M.
Love Pacific Catch. Always come here whenever I go back to NorCal to visit home. Everything I've ever tried here was all delicious. What I usually go for is the Poke Trio (which allows you to choose 3 types of poke). This comes with wonton chips and wakame and a radish salad. I also get the Ectascy Roll or a bowl. The bowls are huge! You can choose either rice or salad and a choice of fish. I've tried the Hawaiian Bowl, the Thai Bowl and the Korean BBQ bowl. All were really good, except the Korean BBQ bowl was a little bit too salty. The ahi tuna was cooked perfectly for the Hawaiian bowl. I also love the sweet potato fries as a side! Definitely not the cheapest place to eat at, but the food is amazing.
(5)Jan P.
Solid food, solid service, and killer happy hour menu. The decor and ambiance is nice and whoever runs the front of the house is always on the ball. High quality ingredients are used and the food always tastes fresh -- one can opt to eat light or heavy here. My fave is the happy hour which is only in the bar area (with quite a few tables including seating at the bar) with menu items at $3, $5, and $7 dollars. The portions are outta control -- regular size -- and one could get full off of two items! The shrimp ceviche is decent, but the lime is overpowering. The poke was quite good with lots of ahi. The California roll here is a MUST whether for HH or not -- it's made with tons of real crabmeat and the ratio of ingredients is perfect. And if not favoring seafood, the Korean sticky ribs are delicious and meaty. The mai tai is strong (as it should be!) and the riesling is on the dry side. Most of the dinner items are equally good. Reservations can be made also. Love how consistent everything is at Pacific Catch! Note: the restaurant is casual.
(4)B J.
Pretty good spot and seems consistent. Always have had good service and fresh ingredients. Tends to be on the loud side and a little over priced for what it is.
(4)Elias R.
I am VERY conflicted after coming to Pacific Catch. My wife and I were feeling like seafood, or something grilled, so why not get both right? And it was here! we ordered: -3 tacos plate w/ one fish, one steak, and one shrimp (actual names slip my mind) -She got a Rice bowl w/ some sort of fish -I got a Teriyaki Mahi Mahi Rice Bowl - One hawaiin punch coctail -one some specialty martini =$72 Ok, the food tasted Great!! we loved and had started planning our next trip back right there at the table. The Tacos were excellent. We both agreed this was the kind of food that you get consistent cravings for. Ya, that good! But then we got home.... I got sick, got the worst stomach ache ever and a case of the runs... mine lasted a few hours, but hers... The next day she was bed ridden with a jacked up stomach, runs, the whole 9... No Bueno!!! I had to make her some ginger root tea and she could still barely stomach anything. But I wasn't convinced... To try to prove my thoughts wrong, I pulled out the leftovers and went HAM!!! It was still good, but again, 30 mins later and my stomach is jacked again. Theory confirmed, we both got sick from the food at Pacific Catch... Maybe it was bad luck.. If you still choose to eat here, service is good, food tastes great, drinks are satisfying.

Ooo! Bf and I love this place! We've been here maybe 4-5 times already and it has never failed. Whenever we find a place we really like, we'll come back and order the same thing over and over. Each time we've came here, I've ordered their hawaiian teriyaki rice bowls (which is AAAHHMAZIN') - shiitake mushrooms, grilled pineapple, carrots, edamame, crispy sweet onions, sesame seeds, and teriyaki sauce. It's pricey but so worth it! I mean it's pretty much everything I'd want in a rice bowl. I've also tried their hawaiian poke. It's deeeelish! Because I'm filipino, I like rice with EVERYTHING.. I was a little bit skeptical about having raw fish with wonton chips. But honestly, it was amazing! They're perfect together. Their customer service is on point. All the waitresses and waiters that I have encountered have been awesome. Good service means good tip!

Gorgeous and delicious, this place is superlative. I am so surprised that this semi-chain restaurant still keeps classy coming no matter what the location. The Pacific Catch here is next to Marshall's, which kind of knocks the expectations down a couple rungs, but on walking in there's a quick restoration of happiness. I always feel like PC knows the perfect zen atmosphere, what with the silent waterfall wall and bamboo shading and patio dining. My mom and I shared one of their rice bowls, opting for the Japanese Wasabi, which was PERFECT. I was really pleased by how fresh and presentable the dish was (see my picture!). The wasabi flavor was not overwhelming at all, I found it to be a perfect complement to the crunchy seaweed and sprouts along with the fish. We opted for the Hawaiian Poke and Ahi, which is the absolute best combo you can get - the Poke is a little spicy and exciting and the Ahi provides a more muted background flavor which marries with it perfectly. I was starving and I ate this really quickly and my only regret is that I didn't take the time to savor every bite! Love this restaurant and I'll take out-of-towners here again, chain-restaurant or not!

Took my friend (Akemi H) here on Tuesday night and they were having 50% off all wine bottles. Happy hour was from 4pm to 6pm. We didn't make that but we still had a good time having dinner here. It was my second time coming here so I had a good idea on what to order and it was her first time so everything was new to her. I suggest to make reservations (did it via OpenTable app) and were seated within 10 minutes. If you didn't make reservations and you came in a lunch or dinner peak times... then you probably have to wait for some time since this place gets busy and packed. OR be smart and just call ahead and order your food to-go? :D Decor was really nice especially the big jelly fish painting and the lights around the bar area. I love how they serve you a little plate of edamame and pretzel fish crackers. It was cute and the pretzel fish crackers reminded us of something really funny. You can munch on it while you wait for your food. I got the Thai Curry with brown rice, veggies and extra chicken meat & extra sauce. Yup. It was a huge bowl which I've enjoyed eating but I didn't finish it. Our server gave us a box for me to take home and I ate my leftovers the next day for lunch, lol. For sure going back to try other dishes!

There are some amazing dishes here. My favorite so far is Hawaiian Poke salad. The Ahi fish cube is so fresh. The soy-sasabi vinaigrette adds so much flavor to the mix of this salad. I like the various vegetables mixed in this salad. A glass of Riesling or Sauvignon blanc is perfect pair for lunch or dinner. I also like fish and chips. I got mixed catch basket last time. Cod, shrimp and oyster are all very good. It comes with fries on the top of a dining paper. Tacos are a good choice too, especially shrimp taco.

I came here for a birthday meal and was able to sit in their nice outdoor dining area. Their decor is very modern and hotel-like and the outdoor area has ample seating. I tried three of their island tacos, two of which I thought were pretty good. One of them was uninteresting. I also tried their agave margarita which was alright. Really this place is just alright. Nothing about the food was outstanding or finger-lick-inducing.
(3)Kelly G.
Poke!!! I've been looking for good poke in the bay for quite some time and I finally found it. The poke trio appetizer is awesome. I could eat that all day with own ton chips. The original and Serrano were bomb. Their rice bowls are HUGE. The rice to other ingredient ratio is also super off haha. You get like 5 cups of rice (they have brown!). But there's still plenty of other stuff like meat and veggies. I want to try everythinggg.

Came here during dinner with a girlfriend on a Sunday evening. We asked to be seated outside so we can enjoy the weather; we were seated promptly. I gave this place two stars because of their service... Here's why, after 15 mins of sitting down we were not greeted by a waiter ( I remembered the wait because I was on my phone the whole time and remembered how long it took). So I went back inside and asked the host who our waiter was... After making a comment about the wait, a waiter finally came out to greet us but didn't really say much or apologized for the delay... He took our drinks down then came back and asked for our order. After our food came out, the server never came back ONCE to check up on us. We had to ask another waiter for drink refills. Once we finished our food, it took our server sooooo long to give us our check, we had to continuously look around for him! It's pretty sad how some servers give horrible service when I'm such a great tipper because I was a waitress for many years... I understand how it's like to hustle and work for every single penny. You get what you give... Although the food was great and amazing, the service was just unreasonable. Not sure if I will come back to this location.

This review is based on the waitress we had. Yesterday we had dinner here and the food was amazing! I suggest ordering the Baja Shrimp Ceviche $9 (lime, serrano chili, avocado, cilantro, tortilla chips) and the Ahi Tuna Salad $15 (seared ahi tuna or Hawaiian Poke, avocado, cucumber, daikon sprouts, ginger sesame seeds, soy-wasabi vinaigrette). The salad is AMAZING! Although I love the food I haven't been impressed with the service any of the times I've been here. Yesterday after paying, our waitress gave us Mochi that were cut in half. We thought she was just randomly giving them to us since we didn't order them and we already paid. We took it as a nice gesture. A few minutes later she came back to our table, took the Mochi back and gave them to the table next to us. Disgusting! She has no idea if we touched them, coughed on them or sneezed on them. She's apparently a brand new waitress, but she should have the common sense to know better. Perhaps it's a training problem at the restaurant.

Came by for dinner the other night and was pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a chain and there was no wait for a table on a quiet Wednesday evening. Meal started off with some complimentary goldfish crackers and edaname beans. It was okay. Moved on to the Hawaiian Poke w/ Wonton chips and it was surprisingly decent, although somewhat pricey at $12 for an appetizer. The fish tacos were very good and fresh. Waitress suggested to swap out the side salad for the grilled Asparagus that I requested for and it worked out perfectly! The asparagus was fresh and tasty! :) Service was great by the staff. ~$23/person dinner after tax and tip.

Came here on a Wednesday night and the placed was packed! Thank goodness we had a reservation as we were a party of 6. Service was great! Food was yummy. I had the 2 taco dinner, one grilled fish and the shrimp taco. The shrimp taco flavor far exceeded that of the grilled fish. I opted for the side salad rather than the fries. The salad was topped with sprouts and edamame with a miso dressing, nice and lite. Everybody else's food looked fresh, yummy and the presentation of food was very aesthetic. Will definitely be back as I want to try the poke!

Late night dinner with the hubby and all I can think about is calamari. So the closest place to get good calamari and great martinis at 9:45 p.m ... Pacific Catch. Well obviously we had the calamari appetizer which we love because of the accompanying lemon and pepper sliced which are deep fried to golden perfection with our calamari!! Yumm! Dinner: chicken teriyaki bowl for the hubby and California roll salad for nurse nerd. Both were excellent! The hubby demolished his chicken and brown rice bowl along with the perfectly cooked edamame! I savored every bite of the fresh crab on my salad ( it was huge) and the addition of avocado and picked ginger just ticketed my soul! Babyyyy... That hit the spot! (and so did the martini) ;))
(4)Christina T.
Finally, finally, finally was able to try Pacific Catch! This restaurant is located in the corner of the Pruneyard so there is a lot of parking. The restaurant has an American Japanese feel to it. My two friends and I ordered three items to share. The hawaiian poke comes in a single or a trio. We ordered the trio for $19 because it came with three choices of poke along with wonton crisps, wakame, and daikon salad. We chose... Original: sushi-grade ahi tuna, sesame-soy marinade, spicy seasonings California Style: ahi, rock crab, lemon aioli, avocado, tobiko, nori White Tuna: yuzu citrus, Fresno chilies, white soy sauce, red onions Our favorite was the California Style. The Pan Asian Rice Bowl came with four choices for $16. We chose the Hawaiian Poke Japanese Wasabi which included wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori, and soy-wasabi sauce. The Hawaiian poke bowl was good although I would much rather choose another Hawaiian poke trio. It was very similar. Our last dish was a spicy tuna roll for $9. All the sashimi was extremely fresh. Everything came out pretty quickly. The waitress was always on top of making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely come back here.

This is a long overdue review. I've been going here for a few years now. This is one of my fave nearby, go-to restaurant if I'm craving for something light, but filling to eat. This place is more of your casual, Americanized Asian-fusion kinda seafood joint. I've tried a few dishes here and try to get something new each time, if I can. Although it's a bit challenging to pick out what I want to eat. The food I've tried were all delicious. The menu does not disappoint. There's seating appropriate for any type of mood. Inside dining, bar/cocktail area with TVs to watch games and the patio which was good for big groups. The service is average. It can be better but it's not bad at all. They also serve a cute tiny plate of pretzel gold fishes and fresh edamame seeds while you look through the menu Rice bowls: I've had the Thai curry w/ salmon. My friend suggested I order it with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce. Curry on my lettuce? Salmon with curry? Sounded like a strange mixture but I was glad I tried it. The bowls are huge! I mean, it's good to feed 2 people comfortably and I am one who likes to grub. The spring mix was fresh, the curry wasn't overpowering at all and blended well with the brown rice and salad. The salmon was a decent size and complimented the dish well. The Korean BBQ bowl was another one of my faves. I've tried it with both the steak and sticky ribs. Either way, you can't go wrong. Prepare to use your hand if you decide to go w/ the sticky ribs. The sauce is sweet, a little tangy w/ a slight kick of spice. They offer a decent amount of meat for both. Love that this had fresh daikon sprouts and shredded omelette and nori seaweed. Yum!!! Sushi: Warning! Their rolls are oversized, which is good because my 9 year old love sushi and usually orders an can amount of rolls/plates when we go to sushi places. But one order from here, makes my pocket happy and my boy feeling full. He's had a the California and the Firecracker before. The California was a bit different. It had cucumbers. The firecracker wasn't that spicy to my taste but it was nice of our waiter to let the cooks know to add the sauce on side just in case my son is unable to tolerate. The sushis are Americanized so don't expect anything more. It's still pretty decent enough if you're wanting sushi. Salads: The Poke salad was yummy! You a get a huge bowl of spring mixed topped with a cup size poke and drizzled with their wasabi vinaigrette sauce. Refreshing and light. Grilled salmon salad was ok. Nothing special. It's just like how it's described. Sandwich: I've only tried their grilled salmon sandwich. It was pretty good. There's a good amount of salmon and the aioli sauce gave it a nice, subtle flavor. It went well with their sweet potato fries. This is good if you're craving for something light, easy to eat and simple. Appetizers to name a few: Poke- You can order a trio which was nice b/c it allows you to try different poke. The salmon lomi I think it was called, was good. I'm not really a fan of the white tuna. It was a bit fishy for my palette. Lol! The original was my fave of them all. It's fresh and seasoned perfectly. One of the best pokes around the 408 and closest you'll get from the real deal. Calamari- I like how it's not overlooked. It's soft and it comes with a good, spicy chipotle dipping sauce. Don't expect to get tartar or marinara sauce. It also comes with the battered red peppers and a tempura like lemon slices. I was hesitant at first. I thought it was like decor for the platter but my bf and sister was curious to try it. They insisted that I try it too. I'm glad I did b/c that was actually not bad at all. Korean sticky ribs, Coconut shrimp, shrimp ceviche were all good too. They're a small serving so I wouldn't recommend if you're sharing with a group. Overall, this place is good all around. There's enough on the menu to please any palette yet not so many choices to get you overwhelmed. Parking is a hit or miss. Wait time is tolerable. Kudos for allowing your fur kids/paw friends to join you out in the patio section.

I actually sorta LOVE this place haha. I have passed by it and it looks quite hip since it is in the Campbell area. I made a reservation for Thursday at 8 but it wasnt necessary since there were still available seats. What is cool about this place is that there is indoor seating, outdoor patio with heat, and bar seating so you can watch the game. After our dinner, we watched the Warriors lose until past closing but they let us linger. They give you edemame and pretzel goldfish as a starter which is cool. The food took a while to get to us between the appetizer and the main dish but good thing we ordered some Cali Rolls. California Rolls- It costs $9 for 8 pieces and it comes with real crab meat. I can really taste the difference between the imitation and this yummy goodness. It was nice to try and have but little did I know that the entree I got was huge so I could have foregone this. Thai Curry Rice Bowl- This thing is huge! I was already pretty full from the rolls but when you place this yummy monster in front of me, obvs I have to eat it. It tastes the thai green curry rice you get at like Osha Thai and I was absolutely pleased. I opted for half brown rice, half vegetables because a girl cant intake too many carbs unfortunately....healthy option was countered with all that creamy curry doe haha. There are some crispy onions chip pieces on top that were so yummyy. I loved the eggplan and cucumber within the mix. I chose chicken and there was a good amount on top. Love this dish and I definitely would come back for this! It is about $15 which is quite expensive but yolo. Korean BBQ Rice Bowl- I recently had it and I really like the sticky ribs for a $1. The bowl overall is ok so once I finished my ribs, I didnt care for the remainder. The ribs made it totallyyy worth it and they give you 5 pieces of tender flavored meat. Fried Dulce De Leche Spring Rolls- ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! it tasted like the baklava crumble at Dish Dash but I prefer this one hands down. This is cut in half so each piece has some brown gooey goodness in this flakey roll. You have to add in that yummy ice cream and caramel to get one awesome bite. I cant tell you how much I love this dish. We were trying to be good and not finish it but we gobbled that thing right up. I want it again.... **TIPS** 1) This place takes reservations so make one if you come at a busy time or day. This would be a pretty cool place for a birthday dinner. 2) Entrees are a bit expensive and huge so you can definitely split. 3) Get the Dulce De Leche Spring Roll. You will not regret it!!!! 4) Enjoy! I will come back to explore the rest of the menu :)
(5)Debra B.
We love this place! I got the poke and my husband got the seafood trio - fried cod, coconut shrimp, oysters. Delicious delicious- and dont forget the pineapple sundae.
(4)Golda R.
My new office was so kind to take me out to lunch here. I got to try the ahi tuna salad, and you have a choice of searing the tuna or poke style. Of course I chose poke style. But I may have frightened one of my co-workers with it because she thought they were just tomatoes. When she found out it was raw tuna, she slightly cringed. LOL! Anyway, their Thai coconut shrimp appetizer is also worth getting since it's not common to order but oh so delicious. And if you have room for dessert, their Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" is the perfect way to end a meal. It was yummy!
(4)Adrianna V.
I cannot get over how mouthwatering this place is! Everything about the restaurant was warm and inviting from the start. Instead of serving bread, you are given a small plate of edamame beans and pretzels. Trust me, the combo is not as strange as it sounds. I had a salmon sandwich for lunch and my tastebuds fell in love. Their French fries are also great and coleslaw. My mom ordered fish and chips and it was a bit too greasy in my opinion. But overall, awesome experience and I will be back soon!
(5)Corey Tess T.
Was here for a business lunch and the food was really good. They gave us very good service for a large group and everything we ordered came out fast. I really liked the spicy fries as an app and I had the most amazing dish - Wasabi Bowl with Ahi... YUMMY and it didn't feel heavy - so perfect meal for a biz lunch. I am not often in Campbell, but I would come back if I venture out that way again.
(4)Kevio L.
Ok, so I'm a glutton. This being a family favorite, I found myself here yet again. Improvements have been made. Unfortunately last nights service suffered slightly. But the food was on point. Again, the Poke is always great. I went off my usual grid and had Ono in Red Curry Sauce. Very firm fish steak, almost to firm, in a mild curry bath. Curry needed more heat. Nice, light Thai styled salad came with it. My meal was good. But the star on the table was the grilled artichoke app. Could eat 4 of those. Pacific Catch is getting better every visit.
(3)Julia C.
Great service! Great fusion food! Will definitely come again. But remember to make reservation~
(4)Katharine A.
Not a huge fan. We came here to catch some of the World Series before we had to drop the bf's daughter off at her mom's house. We had some drinks and some apps. The bf's daughter really loved her clam chowder. The coconut shrimp was a bit dry and I enjoyed the crab rangoon. Hated the sushi. Poorly rolled and had a shiso leaf in some of it that overpowered the flavors of the fish and made everything taste off. Won't make the mistake of ordering again. I love sushi and love fish...just not here. Taco was good and if I come back I probably would stick to those for happy hour occasions. Maybe main entrees are better?
(2)Sarah M.
This is my second time trying this place . I have to say much better experience this time . Our server was gentleman by the name of Raul . He checked and asked us if we need anything multiply times, compare last time , it was major improvement . The food was much better , we got mix tacos and salmon salad . Overall good experience since the service was much much better ,we will come back again .
(4)Bryson L.
The food was ok, the service was ok, this place is just ok. Came here with some friends on a Sunday dinner and were seated without any wait. I like that their menu has a large variety of entrees which can satisfy any seafood craving. The food here seems a bit pricey for the portions and quality. I had the Hawaiian Poke Japanese Rice Bowl. I've had tons of poke bowls around Hawaii, so I wasn't expected it to be outstanding. The poke was so-so, there wasn't as much onions as there should have been, and it didn't taste like there was much marinade. This entree was $16 and the fish seemed frozen given its coloration (frozen fish tends to have an unnatural bright red color due to artificial coloring). Granted, this is not the only place where I've seen frozen fish in poke, but at $16, that's closer to the cost of fresh poke in Hawaii (also the same cost as fresh poke at Costco per pound). I also am aware that you're paying for the sides, restaurant atmosphere, and such, but still. The sides were impressive though I got a huge wad of ginger. I do like ginger, but I imagine this as disappointing others who may not be a fan. The poke bowl's rice is also drenched in some kind of sauce that is rather gross with brown rice. I did like the vegetables that came with the poke bowl though. Overall, this place doesn't seem that special though it's kind of nice, just pricey for not so great quality.
(3)Allyson Y.
I enjoyed my experience here as the service was great and the food was superb. The noise level was a bit loud for me, which made it somewhat difficult to hear the person across from me. We ordered the Cabo Calamari which was tasty and slightly different than your typical calamari appetizer. For my main course, I ordered the Hawaiian Poke Trio with the Salmon, California Style and Ahi Serrano selections. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. My only dislike was surprisingly the salmon poke. Raw salmon is one of my favorite foods and I have tasted some outstandingly fresh salmon at other restaurants as well as fresh salmon poke. The salmon poke lacked flavor and was actually seared rather than raw. For dessert, we all sampled the Dulce de Leche Fried Spring Roll. It was a deliciously creative spin on an Asian-inspired dish. Our server was on top of it and provided excellent service. Thanks! All in all, I will be coming back here or any of their other locations to try out other dishes on their menu (since everything looked good).
(4)Joyce Z.
I came here with my parents for lunch on a Monday. We were seated immediately and chose to sit in the outdoor patio since inside was kinda noisy. The ambiance was great. I love the design of the restaurant!!!! Super cute. Food was great too. Majority of the menu is seafood obviously but I noticed they do have chicken entrees and pulled pork sliders etc. Each plate is pretty expensive for lunch, generally around the low $20s. We ordered grilled shrimp, swordfish, and a salmon salad. I would definitely come back to try more of their plates!
(4)J F.
I've eaten at Pacific Catch in San Francisco but this is my first visit here. Meh. Not impressed. The menu reads well but even though the server asked if med rare was OK the fish was drastically over cooked. The eggplant wasn't spicy and there was more tomato than eggplant. My friend had a huge salad with salmon which was also over cooked but the salad greens were good. I may come back just to see if it was a rough service. The server was good and the food came out fast, so if you're not picky it's probably fine.
(3)Corina D.
This was my first time ever eating seafood. My Husband had received 2 complimentary meals due to his previous experience at a separate location. We decided to eat here.. I am not much of a seafood person so I was a bit reluctant, I ended up ordering the Cod. When the meal arrived it looked delicious. As a took my fork and shredded the first part off, I opened my mouth and closed my eyes. WOW i was impressed. As my husband and I shared moments from the day I look down and realized I had finished my whole plate. It was by far the most tastiest meal I have eaten. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. I know from previous experience that usually when you have comp meals you get mediocre customer service. This was not the case at this location. We will return.
(5)John Z.
This place has really gone down hill. The fries were soggy and WAY to salty. The fish and chips might as well have been breaded in rock salt. Service was ok, not great. Definitely won't be back.
(2)Lisa B.
Loved the salmon tacos, sweet potato fries and the pomegranate ginger martini. Great service in the bar for both dinner and drinks. Walked to the movie. Thank you!
(4)Maryann S.
A little disappointed with this restaurant. Restaurant is cozy but for some reason it is just so damn loud! My friend and I were basically shouting at each other back and forth. It seriously felt like we were dining in a club or something. People around us weren't even being rowdy, the restaurant probably just has poor acoustics. I was really looking forward to poke wasabi bowl but it wasn't anything astounding. The poke was really salty and I felt like the sauce wasn't very evenly distributed. Some bits would have a lot of flavor while others would taste super bland. Wasn't very impressed with this bowl but it did have a lot of fresh veggies in the mix. At least I left the restaurant full! Menu is a little pricey for the quality of the food but I guess the portions are worth it?
(3)Linda F.
I liked it way more than I expected. My mom and I were in the Pruneyard for me to try on wedding dresses and I made reservations here for a quick lunch in between salons. The AC was a bit too cold on a very warm day, but other than that the meal was great. I got the seared ahi tuna salad - very filling with a great dressing. My mom got the two fish taco special - she said one would've been enough for a meal. The restaurant is clean and airy, very comfortable feeling, and they have complimentary sparkling water! The service was perfect - our server came around just enough to refill waters without being disrupting to our conversation.
(5)Mike L.
I was excited with what I ordered, but disappointed with the presentation, flavor and texture. Much like Hailey D., I found that this restaurant was a mish-mash of food types, not quite knowing what they want to specialize in. I can say with certainty that they do not specialize in sushi. The rolls were soggy, falling apart. The food came out so fast, we were very surprised. The wine we had was alright, if not a little overpriced. My partner was happy with his dish, but I also found it a bit unimpressive. Overall, not somewhere I'd come back to for sushi - other dishes might be worth trying.
(2)Jason P.
Every time I go here I remember that I told myself not to come again but being hopeful I have tried anyway on three occasions most recently last week. Each time we experience the same result, a long wait for a mediocre un-inspired meal that is over priced with poor service. I really don't get the menu either. There are few actual fish choices actually on the menu which is instead curiously made up of mostly rice bowls with limited fish options, why? This last visit we had the same waiter as the time before who both times blamed the kitchen for the long wait and cold food and the 15 minute wait each time for a an iced tea on it being a "busy night"....lame. 3 strikes and you're out for this diner.
(2)BriAlly G.
We love this place. Friendly staff from host to server to bar back. Even owners and managers roll up their sleeves and work together to make this a well-oiled machine of a place. Great food, good wine list, delicious specials. Only con, the bathroom area. Not really well kept and very dark. Contradicts the good vibes of the restaurant. Pro on bathroom, there is a baby changing station.
(5)Aaron L.
Amazing restaurant. Exceptional service, very well cooked and tasty food, and reasonable prices considering that the majority of the dishes are seafood. We made reservations for 9:00 p.m. And we were seated immediately at that time. The staff was really friendly, and very attentive, making sure our food and drinks were ok from time to time. We started off with the Trio Hawaiian Poke (5/5). The fish was very well marinated and had amazing texture to it. We also ordered the Ceviche (5/5) and fell in love with the rich, tangy flavor; nearly spicy when you first put it in your mouth. For the main course(s) we ordered the Spicy Tuna Sushi (5/5), Mahi Mahi Tacos (5/5), and the mix of the battered and fried shrimp, fish, etc. (4/5). Each dish really had a unique flavor to it, my personal favorite being the Spicy Tuna. Had a great experience here with the fam, the noise level was nice, ambience very trendy and elegant; and the low lighting set a nice mood. I would definitely recommend coming here if you plan to celebrate any special occasions, or just was to fine regularly. Either way, your expectations will be met.
(5)Anuj C.
we were in the Santa Clara neighborhood and want a place to eat. and this place looked interesting on yelp. The place is very well kept, and its got a very urban vibe. We ordered poke, tacos, the special for the day the sole fish on butternut squash. The poke is really out of this world, it tasted fresh and was prefect with no flaws, i even like the little bowl cup they presented it on. The tacos had 3 kinds of fish in it, but they were all fried. i wish we knew that before we ordered, we would have wanted them grilled. they were a bit salty but tasted decent. the sole fish was good but not great, the stars of the dish was the butternut squash and mushrooms. but sadly the fish wasn't the as good as i would have liked. But will definitely try this place again.
(3)Figgy A.
This place was very delicious. I started with the Baja shrimp civiche which was amazing! Then I had the Korean sticky rib rice bowl which was good. But my bf ordered the poke which was soooo delicious especially the salmon poke. Service was also amazing she even brought a sample for us and the manger came out to ask how things were going. 5 stars
(5)Bevi K.
Came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I've eaten at catch in the Westfield Mall in SF and enjoyed it, so it was nice to see the full restaurant. Got here around 9:30pm so they were winding down. Ordered the California Poke, which I must say was the most delicious Poke I've ever had. It had avocado, crab, green onions, and of course tuna, it had amazing flavor. It was served with wontons. For entree I ordered the ahi sandwich but they had ran out of bread. I ended up with the taco sampler (shrimp, mahi mahi and cod). They were good, but not out of this world. My husband had the Sole entree and it was very good. Looking forward to trying more dishes here.
(4)Sean H.
Better than we expected! Had lots of friends that talk about this place, and how good the food is. And they are very correct. The service was awesome, they were super friendly and on top of things! The food was superb, the sushi roll appetizers and ceviche were sooo good. We ended up with ahi Hawaiian rice bowl as the entree, and it was all pretty great! I definitely recommend this place, I know I'll be back!
(5)Goone B.
Had a reservation for Saturday night and they seated us immediately. Our group enjoyed the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl and Korean bowl, tacos and salmon special for the evening. Food was well-prepared, generous portions at appropriate prices. Got to sit in the covered patio area which was comfy and without need for the space heaters that hang from the ceiling. Saw a yelp review recommending the de lecce spring roll with ice cream and that just capped of the evening meal! Recommend -- be patient with the parking at the Pruneyard, but will return.

Had this place bookmarked for so long I'm glad I finally went! After going the first time with my boyfriend I attended a going away party for one of my former coworkers. Both times service was superb and food was awesome! Japanese wasabi bowl with ahi poke, no ginger and no onions - 5 STARS! Calamari - 4 stars Ecstasy roll - 5 stars Gosh this food is just so good and the poke was so fresh and flavorful. The bowls can feed two people they're so large but no quality is lost with the quantity. Good beers on tap and a few tvs at the bar to catch games. Great spot for dinner or appetizers with friends or family. I will be back soon!

Back again. Awesome again. The welcome experience seems to have improved - I was seated gladly this time! The service is that same 3.1 out of 5 though hee hee! The DYNAMITE food is a perfect way to get me to ignore "good not great" service! As always can't wait to visit PC again!

My boyfriend and I really wanted to try this place because we've heard so much great things about their tacos. We arrived an hour or so before closing and we greeted by Brian? Brandon?, sorry, I wish I remembered. He was super friendly and explained the menu to us; it was our first time. We started with the poke starter. Although it was good, it didn't taste as fresh as it could be, but I'd still get it again. We both ordered our own taco plates. Definitely enjoyed it and didn't disappoint one bit! I'd pass on the beans though, not a fan. It was getting to closing time and it was hard to get our waiters attention for the check. Nonetheless, fair prices, spacious restaurant, easy parking. I'll be back sometime soon

We came for lunch. Brutal start with my family of 4 beyond hungry while everyone in the restaurant made eye contact with me but no one came to seat us. We almost left. As I was stepping for the door a a man rushing over to set us. Ended up being our server. Server was nice and attentive. Food was pretty good. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Atmosphere was pretty casual. All in all we had an okay experience. We will not be rushing back but if we are in the area again we might give it another go.

We had a great dinner tonight at Pacific Catch. Attentive wait staff. Delicious soup and salad and teriyaki bowl. We tried the special dessert--the grilled pineapple ice cream. Tasted great, just couldn't cut the pineapple. I've always loved this restaurant and they redeemed themselves tonight.

So though I have eaten here so many times in the past couple of months, this review is mainly for La Shae and her function as our waitress. Called to make a reservation yesterday for tonight - one guy said "we'll see what we could do" (I requested the patio room since that is the only place I will ever eat in due to the calmer less hectic main dining room) - the other guy a half hour later said - "we'll see to it that you are seated in the patio". Thankfully in the Patio, La Shae greets us with a huge smile and tells us that she would be here for us when we were ready. And that was just the beginning! La Shae was sooooooooo outstanding in customer service and sooooooooooo customer sensitive that I will literally from this point on always request to have her as my server. The Taco's were excellent as were the trimmings and sides. The dessert was delicious. The coffee was superb. Thanks Pacific Catch for hiring La Shae!!

Am definitely a fan of this location. It's got cool decor with blue bottle lights. I had the Hawaiian poke tuna salad. It was fresh, avocado was good and the dressing on the bottom was delicious. Highly recommend this place!

Went here for the first time the other day for lunch. Wasn't crowded for a Saturday lunch, so that was a plus! The atmosphere was modern, yet still warm and comfortable. The food was great! I got the Hawaiian rice bowl with brown rice and it blew my mind! The only bad thing I can say about it was that the piece of salmon could have been a bit larger for a $16 meal. Even so, the flavors were great and over all it was a huge meal! Big enough to share with someone and have an appetizer with. My husband got one of their sushi rolls. Definitely wasn't the best sushi I've tried, but was decent. Wouldn't get the sushi again though. I can't remember the name if the drink I got, but it was amazing! It had gin, kiwi, cucumber, and lemon (or lime) juice. Very refreshing and strong enough to feel the alcohol. The service was decent. It wasn't over the top great, but it was what is expected when going to a restaurant. Nothing to complain about. Overall, I will be coming here again. Just not at dinner time because the line always looks horrendous. Make a reservation if going at night, especially on the weekend!
(4)Brian W.
Phenomenal restaurant! Love the service and the food! Totally recommend the Mahi Mahi sandwich!
(5)Maggie L.
Service gets 2 thumbs up. Upon hearing that it was our first time there, the waitress was so happy to tell us about her recommendations. So here's the food we tried: Appetizers: Ecstasy- 3 stars - it was recommended to us. The fish was fresh, but without rice, the fried seaweed wrapping was overpowering the fish and avocado inside. Jiro is right, I prefer my sushi with rice!! Ahi Serrano Poke - 4 stars - The thinly sliced Serrano adds a lot of kick to it, but the spicy aioli masked the freshness of the fish a bit. The fish was tender and not fishy though! Entree; Vietnamese Steak Sandwich - 5 Stars!! - It's your Vietnamese sandwich with juicy and flavorful grilled steak. The break was crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, and the original flavor of the meat was strong despite the sriracha aioli, which adds a little spiciness. The portion is decent, definitely enough to feed a girl! Mahi mahi tacos - 3 stars - okay, it's 2 stars for me and 4 for my boyfriend. That said, you will most likely enjoy it if you like fish tacos. I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas, no tacos are never my first choice for food. The filling was a little bland too, but fish was good like those in every dish. Sweet potato fries - 5 stars - for some reason the fries was sweeter than anything I've tried elsewhere. It was very good, crunchy and sweet! The side salad was surprisingly nitritious, with mixed greens and olives and arugula and radish... But I would still choose the sweet potato fries, haha.

We had a birthday lunch here for a larger group and had a great time. Our server, I believe his name was Salvador, was very attentive and kind. We got our food quickly, and it was all delicious. We enjoyed a few appetizers, sushi, sandwiches, tacos, and rice bowls. So hard to pick a favorite item! Also, everything was exactly as we ordered since we had someone in our group with special dietary needs, so that was much appreciated. Thanks for a great time, we will definitely be back.
(5)Tiago P.
Finding the place is right next to Marshalls... However, park on the opposite side of the pruneyard and walk.. after the meal its worth it. Hostess and waiter were nice; didn't interrupt at awkward conversation points. Place had a lot of room and no pushing your chair into another. Ordered: Rice Bowl - Japanese Wasabi with crab salad - tasted like a giant California roll and it was great. Two Tacos - Mahi Mahi - I would want my fish to have more flavor as well as more cheese on my beans, but that's a personal preference... the tacos themselves were good. No desert as this was enough food with sodas at $45. The thing that is of value for me is that there are a lot of menu items I want to try out unlike other places that I only like 1 or 2 items. Will come back.
(4)Marc K.
Surprisingly good for a chain in a mall. I had their California roll which was fresh and tasty along with a Hawaiian fish that was also fresh and tasty. Their soups are good when they offer them and they have a nice large patio outside. Aside from the parking lot which is usually pretty crowded I was happy with the meal.
(4)Cathy N.
Yum love the fooooood here! I usually come for their Japanese Wasabi bowls with ahi tuna and grilled salmon. Get it with half salad and half brown rice, and it also comes with seaweed salad, daikon, cucumber, shredded nori, and a tasty soy wasabi sauce. So good! Yesterday we made it for happy hour and Tuesday was 1/2 off ANY bottle of wine! So awesome! Of course we had to have a bottle of chardonnay :) Also ordered the Ahi Serrano poke, shrimp ceviche, the spicy tuna roll, and the Korean sticky ribs. All were sooo yummy!! The poke, ceviche, and ribs were only $7 each and tuna roll was $5. Great happy hour prices and food was delicious! Will def be back soon!
(5)Hana S.
The mahi mahi fish tacos were great, came with a side salad (had greens, edamame, sprouts). The tacos had avocado and some type of salsa in them, everything went really well together. My friend got the mixed catch basket and it was tiny, basically like an appetizer sizing but it isn't listed as one. The two pieces of fish were so tiny, together they would be one piece of fried fish from fish & chips at any other establishment. This was really disappointing :( Also note that parking here is difficult during peak hours. I don't know if I would come back here since my first experience didn't seem worth the money but I might try it again just to try out other things from their extensive menu
(3)Christina H.
Don't bother with the sushi. I wish they gave more food for the fish and chips especially for the price. I think we got around 10 French fries with our fish and chips. Salads are good though.

I've been here a few times now and every time I leave a happy camper. This place is located in the busy Pruneyard shopping center. Parking in front is almost impossible so don't waste your time, park in the parking structure in the back of the shopping center. We decided to drop by last night (Friday) at almost 6pm. I say that because their Happy Hour ends at 6pm and we ALMOST missed it! As always we sat at the bar which seemed somewhat slow for a Friday night but then again it was still considered the tail end of the Christmas Holiday so a lot of folks were sill enjoying their vacations out of town. Anyway, since we noticed it was 5:55 we asked if we could order 4 glasses of wine so we could slide into the Happy Hour pricing. James (our bartender) said "of course"! 4 stars for James alone! We also ordered two tacos (cabo and traditional). Wine came quick and we enjoyed our first glass while waiting for our tacos. By this point the bar started filling up a bit more and the dinning area was getting a little more lively. This spot is nicely decorated. Casual yet classy with a modern hip feel. The menu and decor is Asian with a twist. Our tacos came out quick and hot. We both agreed the shrimp one was our favorite. But both were good. After we finished those we ordered our entrees. 2 piece fish and chips with sweet potato fries - perfectly cooked, not greasy and the fries were yummy. Japanese Wasabi Ahi bowl 1/2 & 1/2: I always get the Ahi salad and wanted something different. This was the perfect blend of healthy and light with stick to your ribs filler. 1/2 salad and 1/2 rice. The rice absorbed the yummy goodness of the dressing which honestly is my favorite part. I actually ask for an extra side of it. The salad part has all kinds of interesting add in's. The cucumber salad is unique and the daikon spouts add a nice crunch. Fresh avocado slices enhance the balanced bite and adds that soft smooth texture to the salad. But besides the yummy dressing, it's the Ahi who is the star of the show. I'm always sad when I've realized it's all gone. This is a great dish and HUGE! I'd add extra Ahi and split it with someone next time for sure. I left a lot in the bowl and James gave me a hard time. James ... my husband and I both agreed he is a fantastic bartender. Honestly, bad service can ruin a great meal and a bad meal can be over looked with great service. Lucky for us we received both at Pacific Catch. This was our 5th time here and we'll absolutely be back to try their new Crab menu!! Yum
(4)Food C.
This place was EXPENSIVE! Small portions for the price. Our waiter was on point. They had a couple choices for water. That was pretty cool. The dessert, Dulce de Leche was amazing! Little Eggrolls with Carmel Sauce to dip them in. We've only been back for those, and that was for pickup. Maybe if I win the lottery and can afford to spend $100 for two people and still be hungry, I might return!
(3)Vicky H.
Their poke here was so good.. and had so many different varieties and flavors to pick from. The spicy fries were great as well. Our shared entree, the salmon, was just okay. A little too sweet and tangy for my liking. Mahi mahi tacos were very light but lacked flavor in my opinion. Will definitely come try their happy hour. And poke.

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE NEW SAN MATEO LOCATION, BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T GET IT TO SHOW UP THERE. Okay, I read that Pacific Catch had opened a new place in my stomping grounds, so last week, after a rambling shopping trip, I decided I'd forego my usuals and give it a try. The menu looked good, and so did the venue. I was very pleasantly greeted at the host desk, but the hostess looked a little confused about where would be the best spot to seat me. I pointed out a two top that looked good to me, but I guess it didn't seem right to her for some reason. After surveying the room (which held several empty tables) and consulting the another host, she seated me in a 4 top directly behind the host desk. Wasn't wild about the location, but I was by myself, and watching people arrive provided some visual diversion, so decided not to be so picky and just roll with it. My waitress said all the right things to seem very friendly and concerned, but her face and demeanor told another story - bored/annoyed?? She brought me a tiny divided dish which held shelled edamame and pretzel fishy crackers (about a quarter cup of each.) Seemed rather odd, but I was hungry and it took the edge off. The décor is nice, and they've done a good job of breaking up the space so you have some privacy, yet don't feel cut off. It was a little dark for lunch, but I like the light fixtures, and they made good use of an exotic wood (koa?) to act as dividers. I ordered the oyster basket. Fried oysters are one of my favorite things that I never make myself. The fish portion was pretty generous, 8-9 oysters, lots of fries, but a tiny portion of slaw, and an even smaller little dollop of what turned out to be a very tasty jalapeno spiked tartar sauce. They used those little glass "mise en place" dishes, so I can tell exact amounts - 1/4 cup of slaw and 1/8 cup of tartar sauce. Why be so stingy on two of the cheapest items on the plate? I like how they use fake newspaper to line the plate and absorb the grease. Oysters: very small (about 3/4" in diameter) nicely fried, but very little flavor in the little mollusks or the batter (that's why the tartar sauce was so important). I almost thought they might have been rinsed before dredging. That's such a sin!: 2.5 Fries: mostly quite soggy, but at least they used fresh potatoes. It wasn't until I came home and reread the menu that I realized there were 3 different kinds of fries I should have been offered a choice of. Maybe the sweet potato or spicy ones would have been better? The menu claims they make all their own sauces, but if they make their own ketchup, they poured it into a Heinz bottle! 2.5 The slaw was pretty good, with very thinly shredded red and green cabbage and just the right amount of well balanced dressing. I just wish there had been more than 4 forks full: 4 The aforementioned tartar sauce was delightful. After 2 oysters, I knew I wouldn't make it on the 2 tablespoons I'd been allotted, I caught my server and asked if I could have more. I waited a bit, but realized she'd forgotten me or something, so I hailed one of the hosts and asked for some more. This kind of thing combined with her clearly artificial friendliness made me cut back from my usual 20% tip to 15% Total price before tax and tip was a reasonable $14. Not sure if I'll give them another chance??

Great food, service was good.. and they have good craftbeer on tap! Would go back again.
(5)Alex K.
Great seafood! I love that they take reservations, for some reason this service seems to be a dying commodity, so big ups to you, Pacific Catch! Service was great absolutely no complaints. Appreciated the edamame and pretzel snacks. Came here during crab fest, tried: Crab and shrimp dumplings -incredible sweet & savory sauce, Ahi Serrano - a hearty serving, feeds two, quality tuna! Thai Curry Rice bowl add Mahi Mahi - tons of veggies and a big slab o fresh fish, curry sauce was perfect, not overpowering whatsoever, just the right amount of spice. Crab Melt w sweet potato fries - I think I ate half of his sweet potato fries, they were so delicious!! The sandwich was a little over priced but none the less it was pretty sizable and very tasty. I like this joint, definitely putting Pacific Catch into the rotation!
(5)Gina A.
We had a party of 15 people last night for a friend's going away party and everything was great! The wait time was really not bad for food and drinks considering how many people they where accommodating. Imi feel horrible for forgetting our waitresses name, but she was great! Actually, the whole staff i observed was great. I got to sample a lot of plates including shrimp ceviche, Korean ribs, salmon rice bowl, and ahi tuna salad. All the plates where great and portions where perfect. I also had a couple pomegranate ginger martinis, Which of course where delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong here.
(5)Leonard F.
I have tried this place a few times. From the outside it looks that this place is top notch but is really not. My wife had fish which was dry. Service was very slow and they were not checking in often to see if we needed anything more. The kids burger was dry and overpriced. Parking can be difficult at times.
(2)Rosalie A.
Despite the good reviews I've heard, I've dined at this location once in the past and was not impressed... I was in the the area again yesterday and decided to give it a go. They offered free sparkling water, that was a nice touch. We ordered Calamari, Salmon Poke, Crab Louie Salad, Crab Chowder, and Rising Sun Sushi which had tempura shrimp, avocado, ginger, cucumber wrapped in ahi tuna, ponzu. Most of the items were just "OK", and the raw fish was not fresh.... Service was not so great...you would think if you ordered chowder, you would receive a soup spoon along with it. We had to call our waitress back to ask for one =/
(2)Marc M.
I had the swordfish with squash pancakes served with a spicy avocado salsa. Sat outside and enjoyed a summer night with a few blueberry mojitos. Flavor overload. Everything was absolutely delicious. Hip playlist filled the outdoor dining area with feel good 90's tunes. Also tried the crab salad that was great as well. Had a great time and will be coming back to explore their exciting menu of cocktails and food.
(5)Caitie S.
My dad and I went here yesterday for a 4th of July dinner. It wasn't too packed at all and we even were able to sit on the patio. The restaurant is cute and has a nice Hawaiian feel to it. The patio is also laid out quite well. The workers are very kind and patient. The wait time wasn't too bad at all and that's says a lot even when the food is great. First off, snacks are put out on the table consisting if goldfish-shaped pretzels and edamame. I found the pretzels to be very cute and good! Next, we order the calamari and it was DELICIOUS. The calamari is light and fried in coconut milk. It melted right in your mouth and the dipping sauce was a great complement. Even the lemons that were also fried was very refreshing and good. I ordered the Hawaiian teriyaki pan Asian rice bowl and I don't regret it! I substituted the white rice for 1/2 brown and 1/2 salad. I also added grilled salmon for $1. I loved this dish. If it wasn't for the fact I am trying to watch my might, I wouldn't have regret eating all the food! Don't get me wrong, the meals are very light, yet full of flavor. You just get a lot for your money! I highly recommend trying this place out!
(5)Tammy T.
My boyfriend and I love this place, the food is so good and good service too... This place is close to my house and the food came out fast, we will come back soon
(5)Jackie C.
One word: Poké. Their Poké Trios are seriously so amazing! I get it every time I come :) They have a list of the different flavors to choose from but they're all good so you'll be able to try something new every time you come back. Their other foods are good too, like the Korean sticky ribs, yummmm. The service has always been amazing. But be warned, it can and will get packed. And its so difficult to find parking!
(5)Tiffany G.
This was our first time eating anything from here. We ordered through Door Dash, and the food was delivered on time. Ecstasy Roll: asked for no avocados (I'm allergic) and there was avocado. They were smaller than I thought, especially after reading reviews and seeing pictures. As far as taste, it was "eh". Edamame: we have no idea, because they forgot. We have heard nothing but good and yummy things about this restaurant from friends, so we're hoping it was just a bad night.
(2)Ted S.
Had 6 family members here for an early Saturday dinner. However, it seems 5:45 wasn't early enough. First off, traffic @ Pruneyard was a mess. Traffic very slow and the speed bumps are HUGE! (Any taller and they would require aircraft warning lights.) No parking spaces found, so we dropped the ladies off in front and went around to the parking garage in back. They first sat us out on the covered patio area, but it was drafty so we asked to be seated inside. Re-seating took about 8 min. The place was busy and service was very slow during our visit. The staff was friendly though and did know the menu. The calamari and coconut shrimp appetizers were very good. Rice bowls were fair = too much rice + not enough fish / veggies. The opah "special" was horrible. Burnt brussel sprouts, over/under cooked fish and odd tasting rice. We told the waiter that it was not a good meal and were comped. Coffee and dessert brownie were good as was the beer selection. Nicely decorated restaurant, but based on the food, slow service and the hassle of traffic/parking at this location, we will not be returning.
(2)Malina W.
Came in for a late lunch/early dinner and was asked to be seated at the bar. We decided to share the appetizers and ordered the delicious sticky ribs, the Serrano poke, and several tacos. All of the presentation and flavor was there. When you walk in restaurant's presentation immediately begins your visit with high expectations that the food follows promptly! Though, the service was a full star less of what you'd expect, perhaps they were under staffed because it had taken about 10 minutes just to receive our waters prior to ordering and it had taken a full 50 minutes to receive our food, when the restaurant wasn't very busy. Thank god the food was beautiful as much as our environment was. After dinner we were still ready for desserts and it had taken 45 minutes for us to receive six pieces of ice cream mochi and melted chocolate. One kitchen staff member looked so miserable when she had to serve it to us and even gave our waiter attitude in front of us as if she was still upset that she had to give someone just a plate of mochi? Perhaps next time I will visit upon normal hours instead of happy hour.
(4)Jeanette K.
If you are Asian, don't go. (And if you're Asian, I think you'll understand what I'm trying to say.) The food is Asian-fusion and it's terrible, terrible. Just so we're clear, I love Panda Express and PF Chang, and this is NOT one of those places. If you're Asian and/or you have a deeper understanding of some of the complexities of Asian food (simply because you just ate it most of your life), you will be thoroughly disappointed. Where do I begin?? Most Asians don't drench our rice and/or raw fish in soy sauce. This place does that. WEIRD. The tacos were so terrible that i didn't even finish them. There were not Mexican, Asian, or anything. They were just not good. Sweet potato fries? Ugh. How do you screw that up? It tasted bad and the texture was wrong. And then the rice bowls....UGH. So why the high stars? Their portions are huge so I suspect that alot of people like that. Like I said, I am not a snob about Asian food -- I love Panda. Heck, I even love the kimchee fried rice from Trader Joe's....well, you get the point. I would have given this place 1 star but our server was too sweet. She was great!
(2)Priscilla T.
2.5 stars.. This place is so overrated. I really don't get what all the fuss is about. I had a ceviche trio and the fish did not taste fresh AT ALL. One of the worst ceviche dishes I've ever had..we also ordered the a sampler dish with fried oysters, coconut shrimp, and fish and chips. The oysters were really good and the shrimp decent but the fish was dry and subpar at best. Ambience was nice and it had an open space with semi trendy decor but all in all, I go to a restaurant for the food.... Not sure if ill be back..if I do go it will only be for the oysters and shrimp.
(2)Tiffany H.
The Hawaiian poke bowl and the Hawaiian poke appetizer were super fresh and delicious. I love going to this place! It's a great place to go to for dates and birthday! I went here for my birthday and got a free birthday dessert! YOU MUST get the dulce de leche spring rolls for dessert!! It was soooo crispy and full of caramel goodness! Overall, service was helpful when needing recommendations on what to eat. I would come here again!
(4)Julianna M.
I really like coming here. The seafood is fresh. There's lots of choices. There's a full bar. Who can complain about that? Because this place is popular, it gets very, very busy. I'd say if you know you're coming ahead of time, make a reservation. They're super nice about that. Parking is kind of a nightmare so be ready to brave a busy parking lot (as most of the Pruneyard is like that). After you order, you always start with edamame and goldfish pretzel crackers. Love that! The drinks are good. I've had straight whiskey, an old fashioned, wine. Also, bringing your own wine: $10 corkage fee. Things I've ordered: Pacific Ceviche Trio Sweet Potato Fries Thai Curry Rice Bowl with Shrimp Satay Ahi Salad Other people have ordered: Fish and Chips Island Tacos Steelhead on Cedar Plank (Special)
(4)Katie W.
I get it. It's seafood from the sea. But did everything have to taste as salty as the water it came from?? I'm usually all for salt, but I couldn't stomach more than a few tiny bites from all the dishes. The hawaiian poke was way too salty; even the almost-stale plain tortilla chips couldn't help it. The taco platter was also too salty. The baja batter was soggy and the meats were too chewy. The service however, was pretty good even for a busy Saturday night.
(2)Devan W.
Thought this needed a review. I came yesterday around 9ish I don't remember our servers name but she great. Service was fast And the good was AMAZING. Mouth drooling, I think I have to come back later this week! I got the rice bowl! I split it with a friend because the bowls are gigantic! I don't remember the name but it's the one with avacado and wasabi. We got the Hawaiian poke and chicken! Poke was amazingly fresh and the chicken was juicy. We got it with brown rice. The combination of the bowl was impeccable! The sushi, tuna roll, was alright, there are better sushi places. I think they are known for the bowls so get that! The only thing though that deducts a star is the hostess aren't very nice. They were kind of non welcoming. ( Not smiling, a tad but moody) But other then that definitely will be coming back!
(4)Katie S.
Let me just say that the portions were huge. If getting the bowls, definitely order half rice and half greens because half the rice is more than enough. I ordered the Hawaiin Teriyaki bowl with grilled mahi mahi and my mom ordered the salmon. It was really good and tasted fresh. I liked how they included pineapples in the bowl. Gave it a nice flavor. However, my mom didn't think the sauce was the best. The carrots were cut very big but it was okay. My sister seemed to have enjoyed the fried oysters and fish n chips. I would come back next time I'm visiting the area but I like to explore :P
(4)jane n.
I've been here to this location so far 3 times. I usually go to the locations in SF. The menus seem a little different among the locations that I've been to but in terms of the "main foods" it's pretty similar. If you guys ever get a chance to go to SF I recommend you go there and check it out as well! So I come here when I crave the most weirdest things.. such as sushi & french fries. One thing I always have to get here is the Hawaiian Poke/Bowl. I love love love love love it. Sooo good. The portion is really big so don't hesitate or doubt yourself when you see the price. You get what you pay for. I love how they give a lot of fish & avocado. It's sooo goood omgggg.

Pacific Catch is a welcome addition to Pruneyard along with the always excellent Patxi's Pizza in it's newest South Bay location. I had heard of Pacific Catch on that iPhone commercial of a few years back (I assume this is related to the SF restaurant of the same name) and had tried their signature poke at a few Yelp events. Upon entering, you're greeted by a new and modern restaurant space. There's a great bar area and plenty of seating in the nicely lit interior. The decor definitely raises the bar for Pruneyard and was the highlight of our evening. We were seated in a adjacent section to the main dining room that features a wall waterfall and warm ceiling heat lamps. Upon being seated, we were presented with the daily specials (mainly entrees) and the regular menu. For some reason, when I heard the name Pacific Catch, I expected a traditional seafood restaurant. But the menu only confused and confounded me. Instead of being divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, the menu highlights their signature appetizers and the plentiful bar options. If you look for entrees (ie: fresh fish), you are instead met with a hodge pose of items that are a cross between Asian fusion and Americanized fare. The main offerings here are sushi rolls, ethnic rice bowls, seafood salads, sandwiches, and island tacos. How exactly all these different items are related is unknown to me and it's hard to see what the restaurant is striving to offer. I would have thought fresh seafood, but many items are cooked and others deep fried. The ethnic rice bowls were a similar hodgepodge offering Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai "influenced" rice bowls. The problem is that in the Bay Area, there are the originals that do the real thing but much better. Our Thai rice bowl had barely any curry and was more a vegetable stir fry on rice. The Japanese poke was like a chirashi bowl but without the variety or taste. Plus they charge more if you want tofu with your rice bowl. So I guess this is a health food place right? Than what's up with all the deep fried seafood platters? In the end, Pacific Catch seems to me to be trying to be that one stop restaurant to satisfy any craving (sandwich, tacos, salads, Asian rice bowls) but ends up probably not doing any particularly well. With higher prices than the competition ($15 rice bowls, $19 with two items if you want to mix Thai curry with Korean BBQ ribs???), the decor and bar is the main draw here. As a final spin on the place, they serve warm edamame and gold fish crackers as complimentary appetizers and have store bought mochi that they sell you individually for $1.50 and that you can buy to dip in chocolate like a French fondue. Puzzling to me, but judging by the clientele maybe I'm the minority. I would expect Pacific Catch to be a hit in a place like the Midwest but the Bay Area deserves better. I hope they work on a clearer restaurant vision cause I'd love to come back to the nice restaurant space. 2.5 Stars. Pacific Catch takes credit cards including Amex.

Really should be around a 3.5. The food is really good. The steak taco was ridiculously good and 2 of them will suffice if you're hungry. I just had to bring the rating down because our server was not good at all - very unprofessional and inattentive. If you just care about the food - go for it. If you're in to the "entire package" this place is a maybe.

Dad and I wanted to get some lunch. One of my cousins recommended Pacific Catch. Pacific Catch is a part of a Bay Area chain of pan-Asian fusion restaurants that immediately reminded me of Kona Grill. That's not necessarily a bad thing since I've had a few enjoyable meals at a Kona Grill, but it offered a frame of reference for what a Pacific Catch is like in terms of its food. Since we got there early in their lunch service, the restaurant was mostly empty when we were seated. Being on vacation and not driving, I ordered one of their specialty cocktails, the Rosemary Alaea ($10), a rum-based cocktail with rosemary syrup, lemon juice, and garnished with a slice of grapefruit lanced by a sprig of rosemary. yelp.com/biz_photos/paci… It wasn't overly sweet as it may sounds, which was a good thing, and as a result it wasn't half bad! Dad and I split an order of the Hawaiian Poke appetizer ($11). yelp.com/biz_photos/paci… The ahi tuna was nicely seasoned and went well with the sesame-soy marinade. As a minor criticism, the accompanying wonton chips were a letdown, as they didn't taste as if they were freshly made and they were too thin to support the weight of the poke. For my entrée, I had the lunch special, Grilled Wahoo (?) with brown rice and broccolini served with a pesto aioli ($17). yelp.com/biz_photos/paci… This was the biggest miss as my fish seemed to be a pre-packaged, frozen filet that was overcooked and dry to the point its texture and taste resembled a grilled, pre-packaged, frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breast. It was edible, but it wasn't very enjoyable. The rice was fine, but the broccolini were overcooked, too, and a bit rubbery. The aioli was unnecessary. In fairness to Pacific Catch, perhaps my uneven experience was just a one-off. Perhaps it's much better for happy hour and dinner. The prices seemed fairly reasonable, but the food wasn't more than middle-of-the-road average. I love my cousin, but next time I'll pass on her restaurant recommendations. 2.5 stars.

Only been here once and thought the food was okay. A friend highly raved about their sushi rolls and raw seafood but being pregnant, I stuck to the Korean pork ribs rice plate. It came with five small pieces of ribs & veggies on top with rice at the bottom. It would be nice to get more meat for the price. For dessert, I tried the brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge. This was just okay--not bad but not outstanding either. I prefer the brownies warm but I suppose they can't put ice cream right on top if it was. Service is good. Highly recommend making reservations. Went there Wednesday at noon and the restaurant was pretty full.

Opted for the rice bowl w/ Hawaiian poke. Soooo good! In it has seaweed salad, raw tuna, avocado, ginger, and your choice of either brown rice, white rice, or lettuce. The waiter recommended to mix half lettuce & half rice. Wouldn't know how it is, since I just got white rice, but I'll def try it next time. For $15 a bowl, it's not bad, considering how yummy this is. Next time I'll probably try their fish tacos or something. Oh & they also bring out a huge, pretty bottle of water so that you could refill your cups whenever you want. Overall, great food, cozy & beautiful atmosphere, and attentive service. Will be back!

Heard excellent reviews of Pacific Catch and stopped by for a drink and some apps. Crowded but hostesses and management are hard at work to make sure everyone waiting has been accounted for. Jerry asked us if we were helped. We thought the bar table was reserved and he told us to come in and seated us ASAP. We said it was our first time, he immediately knew what would be perfect and chose the calamari as our app for us which was quick to arrive and delicious with it's breading and deep fried lemon and chili slices! A great first impression! Maria was our waitress; a sweetheart and as fast as one can be during prime time on a Saturday night. My friend enjoyed her edamame and veggies. Drinks were tasty, too. Tony, the manager, came over to our table and greeted us, asking how the food tasted and if we were happy with our experience! As we were leaving, they all said goodbye and thanked us for coming by and made sure to ask us to see them again soon. If only all restaurants had staff like this! Happy customers thanks to their by the book customer service. I remember all their names and for good reason, so that says a whole lot. Could not ask for a friendlier staff and will definitely go back again soon. Tony explained their happy hour specials so it looks like the girls and I will be hitting up Pacific Catch in a week or two! Can't wait to try more food and drink options. Thank you to the staff for everything :)

Just not sold on this place. It's fresh seafood with fresh veggies, I know I should love it, but there was just something about it that I was not sold on. The staff was friendly enough, that's not the issue. The portions were fine. The restaurant was clean, plenty of space between tables so you don't feel jammed in. Hmmm...what seems to be the problem then? Oh yea, it's probably the fact that they charge $9 for a california roll and $12 for a grilled steak Banh Mi. "Our California rolls are made with real fresh crab and fresh avocados." That was the waitress' answer when I asked her why the roll was $9. Call me cheap if you want, but price is a big factor in my ratings, and even though Pacific Catch is a pretty good restaurant, it's just hard to go back again with their pricepoints on menu items I can get at other restaurants for 40-50% cheaper.
(3)Chris L.
Service is great. Sitting outside option is good if you bring your dog. The ahi poke appetizer was delicious and the rice bowls are good too. Would highly recommend.
(4)Christopher D.
This is my "go to" place for lunch in the Pruneyard. I almost don't want to write a review since that would mean it's only going to get more crowded. I've starting using OpenTable to make reservations -- you simply can't go at night at 7PM and expect to get a table.
(5)Wine T.
It was just ok. Food was nothing special. I think the appearl must be that it is inexpensive and they give you a lot of food. I'd rather spend more and go somewhere that has a chef and not just a cook. It's mass produced food, in my opinion. I would not go back. Service was only so-so too.
(2)Maria S.
Service at this place has always been a coin toss, some servers are good and some completely clueless. My husband and I really like the poke and the ahi tuna sandwiches with sweet potato fries, so just resign ourselves to possible delays and go anyway. This time the service was just crazy bad. We sat down, ordered our drinks and food, in 20 minutes I reminded the server about the drinks, in 5 more minutes they arrived, one of them wrong. Not some complex cocktails or anything, just a juice and a beer. In 10 more minutes there was no sign of food, so I went up front and asked to change our server. A gentleman who must be the manager came up and helped get things fixed. Still took another 5-10 minutes for the poke so it had not even been started I guess. The poke was very different from what we had eaten there many times before. Much less spicy and generally much worse. The shrimp special tasted fake Asian in the worst tradition of P.F.Chang, edible but not great, way too salty. Ahi tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries was good as usual. The manager apologized for the delays and took the drinks and poke off our bill, which is the only reason this review is not one star but two. We are not coming back though.
(2)Marlene F.
Great food, great service. Had the ahi salad, fresh ahi done perfectly. Husband had Salmon. Korean style. Delicious.
(5)Haley L.
Holy poke! This is some of the best food I've ever had in my 28 years! Who woulda thought that a seafood restaurant would have such a solid and delicious selection of vegan foods on their menu? I had the tofu poke which was fabulous. The edamame salad with miso dressing was also quite nice, but I do loathe shittakes. They kinda ruined the salad for me with their extremely pungent flavor. For my entree I had the tofu curry bowl with brown rice. I mean I am still in disbelief at the flavor this curry packed. If I am ever back to Cali to visit, I will definitely be going here again :9 (and I CANNOT WAIT)!
(5)Daisy T.
Sooo... where's the rest of my food? Came to this place for lunch to get my seafood fix on. The hubby and I sat in the covered patio area since it was a nice sunny day. There are a lot of options on their regular menu, but the specials menu caught my eye. Grilled mahi mahi with green curry and crispy coconut rice cakes. Sounded like a winner to me. The dish was actually "meh". The mahi mahi filet was definitely small and the green curry was missing that punch. The side of under cooked and odd seasoned eggplant was a no go. The crispy coconut rice cake was probably the best part. I tried a bite of my friend's Japanese Wasabi bowl. It's like having sushi but in bowl form. I love how you can pick what kind of fish you want for your bowl - seared ahi, grilled salmon, etc. You can even pick crab salad for this particular bowl. It was a nice mixture and balance of ingredients from the wakame salad to soy-wasabi sauce. The best thing we had was the Pacific Ceviche Trio. Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke and Peruvian scallop ceviche goodness with all taro, corn and wonton chips to go with them! Everything is super fresh and super delicious with all their chips. The Hawaiian poke with a wonton chip was my favorite. It's meant to be eaten as an appetizer, but I could eat this as a meal. Unfortunately, everything here is overpriced for the amount of seafood you get. Next time, I'll check out their happy hour menu.
(3)Jenny L.
Regrettably I have to say that although I've had a pleasant experience in the past I am very disappointed with the management. I had heard great things about their happy hour and thought it'd be a perfect place for a happy hour social event. The manager was completely uncooperative & unwilling to reserve tables to accommodate a social for 25 women. You'd think they'd be delighted knowing they have such great business. He brushed me off like he could care less. It blows me away how people in management thinks its okay to be so rude. If that's the way he treats his customers I'd hate to think how he treats his employees. His NO energy makes me never want to eat there ever again. I think we'll head back to Rendezvous in downtown Campbell where the manager was excited to support a local women's organization. Shame on you PC, you may have rules you have to follow but your deliver was disgusting.
(1)Umar E.
Service was terrible, food was decent. Waited way too long for our food to come out. Asked the bartenders 3 times to put the giants game before they did. Forgot to put our sushi order in until way after our apps and other entrees were already brought up. Shitty attitudes all around. Pay for the price I guess.
(2)Frank K.
We love the food, especially the tacos and poke. One request, though, would be to have an option of grilled seafood in taco. We're steering clear of fried foods and the healthy nature of Pacifica Catch's menu could accommodate this alternative style.
(4)Kalipo K.
Been trolling around for a solid seafood restaurant in the South Bay for some time and happy to report that the Pacific Catch, has been a consistently great tasting experience. It's actually more of a fusion seafood place with Asian influence. If that makes sense. Located in the coming back to life Pruneyard, PC adores with indoor and outdoor seating. Casual to date-night dress and clientele of family and first dates. I always order too much. Start with a house special tropical cocktail or chose from draft beer or full bar, add poki and a meal-there's no room for dessert. In fact I've never had dessert at PC. My suggestion-get the poki trio DELICIOUS! Then split a meal. Grilled mahi mahi, Ono and many other fabulous dishes are on the menu. Reservations through Open Table Yelp link or call ahead for wait times. No telephone sign ins. Summer time is busy! Wait staff nothing impressive but friendly and competent. Restrooms fair but what's with the yard wide sink with gutter guard drain?!! Shopping center parking or garage to the rear.
(4)Doug S.
I was on a business trip and stayed in the hotel behind the restaurant. I wasn't sure how this was going to work out, but I didn't have a car so I was stuck there. So in I go. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the poke and it was excellent with a nice cold, dry beer. I then wolfed down the tacos because they were damn good. I didn't think I was that hungry, but I was wrong. The only reason it is not 5 stars was the service. I know I was alone and sitting off to the side in the bar, but no reason to be at least aware I was there. Still, once the waitress came, things did get better. I would go back.
(4)Carole Y.
Parking is always a hassle in The Pruneyard, even on a Tuesday night. I was lucky enough to find a spot right out front. Between the four of us that were there, we ordered the Hawaiian Poke Salad, Hawaiian Poke Wasabi Bowl, Mixed Catch Basket, and Crispy Oyster Basket. My Wasabi Bowl was yummy and very filling! I was only able to eat half. The poke was fresh and nicely seasoned/flavored. The Hawaiian Poke Salad was exactly like the Wasabi Bowl, except the rice was replaced with greens. I think next time I'll try the half rice/half salad option. I didn't get to try the fried seafood, but my friends said it was good and the side of sweet potato fries were delicious! One of my friends had a free dessert offer from checking in on foursquare. We decided to get the Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls. It came out warm, fresh, and with a side of vanilla ice cream. So good! The food was great and I'd love to come back and try out some of the other items on the menu. However the service was a bit slow. It seems like we waited a long time for our waiter to take our order, serve our food, get the check, etc. We never even got a water refill. Not sure what was going on, but service could've been better.
(3)Dalia K.
Great customer service. Delicious food. Perfect meal from start to finish. They were able to accommodate a last minute party of 11 in a quick and efficient manner with such positive attitude. Thank you!!!
(5)teel b.
I kind of feel funny giving this 5 stars, because it is very noisy during the dinner hour. We try to go during off hours. But it happens that the food, drink, and service really rate 5 stars, and I just cannot downgrade it based on it being so busy and noisy weekend nights. The menu is inventive, with a Polynesian theme. They have a really good wine and beer selection, as well as quite an array of interesting cocktails. The servers start with complimentary edamame & nibbles and sparkling water. The specials have always been outstanding, the rice bowls are amazing and the poke is really quite tasty. The food is always presented in a fun and appealing way. The servers are normally very attentive and friendly. I have not been very impressed with their desserts, but I don't think dessert is really their focus anyway. Anyway, we've eaten here more than a dozen times and liked it a lot; so I thought I owed them a review. It's challenging for a restaurant to be good that consistently, so they deserve a lot of credit for that.
(5)Chilann C.
Terrible service. I have signalled for a thousand times I needed help to order and I literally have to go and talk to one of the waiters to seek help. When they did find me a waitress, she did not even know the menu well enough to explain it to me. Never coming back again.
(1)Mark C.
Best soups..always original full of "stuff"..always ask for yhe soup of the day..hell while your at it.Dont go pedestrian and ask and GET the Special (s)
(5)Pat D.
Service was great. Ambience - noisy. We ordered the crab for 2, which would have been fun but the crab was quite small, and we didn't feel that there was enough of it. Coconut shrimp was excellent.
(3)Jill V.
Great location, atmosphere and service. Food was ok. I ordered a Chipotle salad (yes I know who orders chicken at a seafood restaurant) and it was smothered with dressing. Plus the chicken had BBQ sauce on it making it a bit too sweet and just too much external sauce/dressing for my tastes. My husband ordered a crab salad which he really liked. I would have ordered seafood but I found most of it had too much of an Asian flair for my taste. I'd also say the menu was at least half sushi and/or rice bowl oriented entrees. Had I known this in advance, I may have chosen another restaurant and come here when I wanted sushi. The menu items focused on a lot of soy and sweet. The roasted artichoke with aioli as an appetizer was great. Prices were pretty good-I was expecting to pay more. I would come back for appetizers or happy hour.
(3)Ann N.
Went here with my Mom, daughter and boyfriend for our Mother's Day lunch. Got there at 11:30am and was seated right away. Service was terrific. Tiffany was quite attentive to us. And when asked about her recommendations for entrees, she knows her dishes and recommended good variety of dishes for us. My Mom is vegetarian and PC was able to accommodate her with a few very nicely done dishes. The appetizers were definitely good - poke and sushi. Our Ono and mahi mahi were a bit overcooked so it was a tad dry. Our bloody Mary's were just perfect with extra spicy and extra olives! Definitely will come back again. I may just do a bunch of appetizers and salad only because I'm able to enjoy a bigger variety at one sitting :) It's more of a 3.75 score than 3 for this place.
(3)Jennifer P.
The food has been pretty consistent the several times i've been here. It's pretty well cooked seafood with lots of variety in how they prepare. They have rice bowls, tacos, salads, sandwiches and rolls. It's not a large selection in types of fish, you pretty much get salmon or ahi tuna for the main courses, but i guess those are safe bets. Their sweet potato fries are yummy and just right in the crispy department and their spicy fries are well seasoned. My only grip with every single time i've been here is their slow service. Whether it's a party of 2 or 8, it seems to take them forever to check in with us. We sat around for a while before we got water and then they took our appetizer order and we sat around for another while before they took our food order. I wouldn't necessarily come here to fulfill my sushi craving, but if i want a pretty decent sized salad or rice bowl, this is a pretty good choice. Fish tacos i can probably get them somewhere cheaper, but they are good. Parking in the Pruneyard can be a challenge if you decide to come for lunch after 12pm. So be warned as all the restaurants in the area get pretty full.
(3)Kiley J.
This place is just okay in my opinion. Can get really loud, especially with the many staff members chillin around and continuously coming to different tables asking the same question. you never know whos your real server and some of em have nasty attitudes when giving the food. Stick to the salad and poke though
(4)Mike H.
Had a great dinner here with the parents. I had never eaten here and was curious to check it out. I was STOKED to see they use Flor De Caña Rum in their cocktails. The house Mai Tai was very strong and smooth. The Dark and Stormy was nice as well. Reasonable prices from $8-10 I did two special items for food, the fried crab with cheese inside was really good, unique take on a crab cake. Then I followed that up with the Cod with potatoes and broccolini. I think it was only $20 - It was really nice. I like how they have a Hawaiian theme, but not really. Maybe Hawaiian fusion? Will definitely be back to try other items and may go to 5 star review. Just on the value alone it is a great spot
(4)MyMy T.
Hubby and I went there on Tuesday 6/17/2014 for dinner so I can stop at Bed Bath & Beyond on the way home. It's our very first time here. Since I figured I eat out faster than I can yelp, I better put things down here and come back to revise it later. :-) I had the Hawaii Teriyaki Pan Asian Rice Bowl, Hubby got some deep fried plate (have to go back and check the menu later), I had the lemongrass ice tea which please don't try. Food here is definitely fusion. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. Service is awesome Ambience? Love the contemporary atmosphere We got there by 7pm and it was a full house. Don't forget to ask for the complimentary edamame & goldfish cracker. We sat down and didn't even know they give out those until we saw a lady going around randomly place those down to the patrons. Did I say randomly? Yup, she just passed by us without even noticed that we are there. So, we have to ask our waiter for it and he immediately got us one.
(3)Tanya F.
got here told the server i would like the ecstacy roll no sesame seeds i am allergic to seeds only!! i also told him that i am dying for the trio hawaiian poke .. he assured me it was a good choice .. 40 min later i go to order my hawaiian poke (salivating for it now) and come to find out the waiter says the "seasame seeds are pre mixed into the poke" !!! are you f-----ing kidding me i waited so patiently for the right time to order the so called delicious trio of poke and the only poke to not have previous mixed raw fish (obviously not freshly prepared) is the salmon yuk!! . very disappointing!!!! the service would of been great snd my dining experience would have been 5 stars but to no that i can't have sesame seeds and then to wait to tell me that the sesame seeds are premixed ?? very bad
(2)Trevis James D.
Really good tasty dishes especially the and rib appetizers. Tasty enough that I had to write about it in my food blog. You can read more in detail at liveactioneating.com/201…

The steak tacos with dainty onion rings and tasty side salad are my new favorite meal! Excellent drink menu. A new favorite place.
(5)Mani N.
Went to this place last night and everything was great. Service was great. Food was ready fast. Except no bread. On a Tuesday night. This is the second time. This happened to some of my friends as well. So mainly because the manager was nice and the service was much better this time, I am leaving a 4 star review.
(4)Lillian T.
We have some friends that absolutely love it here, so one evening, we planned a night here. We made a reservation for 5 because TIP: if you do not make a reservation, expect to wait about an hour. The reservations fill up pretty quickly for prime dinner times, so be prepared. The restaurant is a pretty decent sized one, with indoor and outdoor seating. As the night goes on, they close these plastic covers to the outdoor seating so that it isn't quite that chilly. Upon first walking in, I dubbed this place a date night joint as there seemed to be a relatively high amount of dates there. When you first sit down, they give you soybeans and sesame goldfish to snack on. My friend and I ordered a trio of hawaiian poke that was $19, and a Japanese Wasabi bowl with hawaiian poke and crab salad that was $20.50. We had asked for the wasabi bowl to be split, but I warn that no one should ever ask for it split. It comes out as two split bowls, which is nice, but you get visibly less (if you were to combined the two bowls) than if you were to order a standard 1 bowl. I was extremely disappointed in that, especially for something that was so pricey to begin with. Overall, our total came out to be more than we wanted to spend for such medicore food (at least what we got). Personal opinion is that this place is pretty hyped so it's relatively busy and stays busy. Maybe I'll give it a shot again sometime, but my first visit didn't leave a lasting impression. Service is a bit slow also.
(3)Chris S.
My wife and I were in the area and decided to check this place out.. Everything from the service, food, and the ambiance was fantastic. We started off with one of their specials a salmon chowder, which was great. We also got the trio of poke which is nice that they let you try three different ones. The poke was great, I have not had some this good outside of Hawaii. For the meal I had the wasabi ahi sandwich (the tuna was great and the ginger in the sandwich added a lot to it), with the sweet potato fries. For dessert we got fried dulce de leche spring rolls, which was really amazing as well. With all the food we tried there was not a single let down on anything, everything was delicious. They were fairly busy on the night we went in, even still our waiter was really on top of things all night, never had to ask for anything from him because before we could even think of anything he had taken care of it. The prices are not too bad at all either for the quality of food.
(5)Derrick M.
Reserved a table for three for myself, my brother and mom. It's her birthday and she loves seafood. I've never been here but thought I'd take them here for the good reviews. The restaurant is beautiful. Gorgeously decorated and very clean. The staff is very friendly and greeted us at the door. The smell when you walk in is to die for! (for all you seafood fanatics).
(5)Jeannine B.
Food is great...many healthy choices. I particularly love the rice bowls (especially the wasabi version)...but always ask for more veggies than rice...and the salads. Great drinks. Love the water bottles on the table. Wait staff is attentive, and never have felt rushed when with a large group.
(4)M O.
Food was ok. Kinda too fried for my taste. Ambiance was definitely loud and a bit crammed.
(3)Arlene T.
This is our date night go to place. Great service, fun environment, and for great food, this is a place to bookmark. For starters we had the white tuna poke. I think that this needed more of an acid and salt for more flavor. After adding some soy, it was great though I do like my food a bit on the spicier side. Otherwise very tasty. Drinks we ordered the lemongrass Mojito (great cocktail) and a light tangerine beer for my partner. Main Course my partner ordered the teriyaki bowl which had so many different flavors: shiitake mushrooms with edamame beans, green salad, teriyaki salmon, grilled pineapples, and underneath was white rice and teriyaki sauce. My new favorite comfort food! I ordered the special: grilled local swordfish which was floating in delicious green curry, eggplant, squash coupled with 2 deep fried coconut rice (looked like hash browns) cakes which have the dish a perfect crunch topped with a light cucumber slaw. Super delicioso:) Dessert, we had coffee (served on a French press) and Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownie. We really enjoyed our night and will be returning again for date night!
(4)Joy W.
Have seen this restaurant for a few years and never try it out and we finally made it for lunch today. We ordered fish and chip and Korean BBQ bowl. They are tasty. This place is really nice set up and well decorated. Thinking about going back to try something else.:D
(4)Nicole G.
My husband and I liked this place. We had sushi rolls which were good - not amazing but a solid roll. Their fried oysters were delicious. They had a fish & chips kind of batter on them which was different but not too bad. My husband lives the fact that they serve Maui Brewing Company beer here. They've got great happy hour prices, but it's only in the bar section and that fills up ridiculously fast!
(4)Gabrielle C.
Ahi salad and California rolls are great! Only been here once, so I will update review when I go back. Atmosphere is tasteful. Fresh and beautiful layout and decor. Fixtures and lightening are warm. Patio dining offered. Great for lunch!
(4)Yvonne C.
Okay so I'm writting this because we went for sit down and it was really good! However we ordered off Door Dash and it was horrble! The fried mixed catch was just ewww when it got it. I enjoyed the Poke when we did sit down but when we got it from door dash it was all warm and gross. The korean ribs were good to-go and in house~ Moving forward we will go again but only for dine in!
(3)James L.
My favorite restaurant in the area. The food tastes fresh, the value is not bad, and the menu is diverse enough where everyone in your party should find something to their liking. Plus free edamame and pretzel goldfish! Get the Japanese wasabi bowl with half brown rice and half greens. It's delicious and I've never seen another restaurant offer anything like it. It feels healthy and clean, the flavors are bold without being greasy, and the ingredients always fresh. I lean towards the seared ahi as my meat of choice but the poke and salmon go great with the bowl as well.
(5)Amy B.
We picked this place at the last minute by searching OpenTable for open reservations Saturday night. I didn't even know Pacific Catch was in the Pruneyard. We made an early reservation (5:45) - but reservations weren't needed at such an early hour - and were seated in the bar area. The ambiance was nice and service was prompt. Pros: Great selection on the menu, without being too much. I hate when a place has a 14-page menu like Cheesecake Factory or the Elephant Bar. We had a hard time deciding what to get, but settled on the three-taco plate (with fish of the day, mahi mahi, and steak), a Thai Curry bowl, and a spicy tuna roll for an appetizer. All were good. The curry bowl was a bit heavy on the rice, but every bite had good flavor. The tacos: my dining companion said that two would've been fine and he could've done without the steak taco. The fish tacos were very good. Cons: None? There were a couple of weird things, like someone else's poke being delivered to us and several minutes passing before anyone figured it out, and the waitress took our beers to the table next to us, but in general, everyone was pleasant, and it was a good experience. The dessert! We had a brownie sundae for dessert and it was fantastic. I could've eaten four of them (but did not). The whole meal, two entrees, appetizer, four beers, and a dessert was less than $80, which was great for a rare date night.
(4)M G.
Ecstasy roll and spicy tuna rolls are amazing as is house salad. I come here for the awesome sushi but we had a fish dinner once that was amazing....this is the best seafood place around.
(5)Justin C.
GREAT food and EXCELLENT customer service! From Illinois on a business trip. I failed to keep my copy of my dinner receipt. Jerry, their Business manager, was able to retrieve my copy for me.
(5)Linda W.
Ok, So we are total fish market people but friends of ours told us about this place so we thought we would give it a shot! They nailed it! We walked in and it was busy, no seats at the bar but they still wanted us to feel comfortable while we waited and brought us to the bar..oh yes!!! What a bar..nice! We were seated within 15 minutes and greeted with smiles and suggestions.. We took their suggestions and went with it! Ahi tuna outstanding, fresh petrale sole fresh and ate every bite! husband had some of their sticky ribs (starter) and fish tacos..they were wonderful :) theeeennnnn ... They suggested this dessert we have never had before called letche roll..a must must have! Omg!!! If you just want to go out for dessert, well you gotta treat yourself. Above it all, this manager named jerry came by a couple times checking on us and asked us if we needed anything else and was just a complete sweet guy. We found out later he was the manager that night..go when he is working! Oh and I can't forget our waiter!!! He was on top of it! Wonderful and had a wonderful smile..just instantly put us in a good mood after a hectic day.. Wait, the gal that served us wine and beer at the bar! I just wanted a good glass of cab and boy was that good! Cheers to her! Good pick! Thank you for giving us a nice evening! Linda
(5)Charles L.
Maybe I'm being picky -- the food was solid but not spectacular. My salmon club sandwich was good but the salmon wasn't seasoned at all -- all the flavor came from the 2 strips of bacon. For a sandwich billed as a salmon club sandwich, it also could've used more salmon. The sandwich was otherwise well assembled (at $15 it should be haha). The fries were slightly undercooked. Wait staff was awesome, though -- the waiter who brought out our food had the kitchen whip up a batch of garlic aioli for us, which apparently isn't something they keep on hand. Check in on Foursquare for a free dessert!

When we arrived at 9pm on Friday, there was still a wait for tables so we chose to sit at the bar. Service: The waiters/waitresses weren't very friendly. They were straight to the point without typical service niceties. They also did that thing where they give you the bill without asking if you want anything else. They seemed pretty hurried overall, and uninterested in connecting with customers. Food: The food was great! We tried the thai coconut shrimp, korean rice bowl, and ecstasy roll. All were delicious and I would definitely recommend them to others. The ecstasy roll was aptly named, consisting almost entirely of fish, and not including rice, meant that it was the kind of sushi roll you dream about. However, a few things to watch out for. They say their rolls are jumbo sized (or something to that effect) but they're pretty small and the korean rice bowl was 80% rice. Ambiance: I don't know if it was just because we were at the bar, but I did not feel comfortable at all. I felt like I was eating in a busy hallway. Also the lighting is a little bright, some dimmers would really add a bit of class. I won't be returning. For $50, I can get a better experience. However, my sense is that Pacific Catch offers some unique flavors so give them a try and decide for yourself whether it's worth the slight letdowns.

Worst just the worst. Long wait for food, and then food is horrible. Wanna get sick? Come here.

This is a great place to go with friends. Food is always delicious, service is friendly. The only bad thing is the parking. The Pruneyard gets crowded. Their sticky ribs are delicious as are their salads. It's a little pricey but worth it

I actually really enjoyed my lunch here. Took a client for a meal here and it was a great option that was healthy, had a nice ambiance and had tasty food. I had their salmon and thought it was great. Definitely a great seafood place!

Happy hour at Pacific Catch has got me HOOKED, LINE AND SINKER all in one. Came here two weeks ago for my first time, came back the next week for a second. I just can't stop fantasizing about how wrong I've been in life because I mean, REAL CRAB in their huge California sushi rolls. I mean, I can not even begin to explain my excitement to you about my discovery. I stumbled upon Pacific Catch through a couple of instagram friends who came and their pictures looked delicious. Since I'm a sucker for Happy Hour and good food, off I am to Campbell to find this awesome place. Tucked in a plaza on the corner in Pruneyard, I walked in and it was like a Fish version of Chipotle except it was an actual restaurant and it had a bar. Happy hour only from 4-6PM Mon-Fri so a smaller window than most places with HH, but I happy obliged since I needed to try it out. If you're there for HH, just walk yourself to the bar area which includes a bar, but also three booths, two large tables for groups and three smaller private booths for other people. They have lots of local brews and their speciality cocktails that are on the HH menu. The bar and group tables also have hangers right up the table for the ladies and the gents to hang their hand bags or briefcases! How clever and thoughtful is that? The table comes with chopsticks and napkins, the waiter or waitress brings over a blue bottle of water for you to pour and they come with the menu. The specials, the regular menu/the daily catch and the happy hour menu. Also, their choice is bar food is curious, salted pretzel gold fish and out of shell edamane. Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat (4)- Five percent Alch, wasn't too bitter or too sweet, had that nice tang and a swet whiff of the tangerine. Agave Margarita (6)- option of salt or no salt, if you LOVE tequila, they lace the entire drink with tequila, one of these girls will have you rolling in no time, it was a little too sweet for my taste Pacific Steak Taco (3)- the meat was seasoned perfectly, but I wasn't really a fan of their taco. Too much sauce and lettuce not enough meat. Cabo Calamari (5)- The aioli was spicy with a kick went great with the calamari. It wasn't just the tentacles but also the body and they even fried the chilies with it. A little too much breading, but it wasn't mushy. California Roll (5)- MIND BLOWING THE BEST THING ever, to come to a california roll. Real crab salad, avocado in huge portions the least amount was cucumber so you get a amazing deal. There's 8 giant pieces and not enough. I usually order two. Korean Sticky Ribs (7)- Whoa whoa whoa there tastebuds are taken for a wild ride. It's a sweet, and tangy, and a spicy kick of giants ribs with fall off the bone meat and drizzles of sesame seeds. The sauce itself is so saucy and you can dip just about anything in it and it'll turn it into a master piece. White Tuna Poke (7) - Huge chunks, super fresh a little salty for me, comes with crispy wonton chips which is a good balance. Of the three pokes offered for HH, this is the best one. Comparing the regular prices to the happy hour menu, it's about a four dollar difference in price which is a sweet deal. The portions itself is good and I wasn't able to finish everything. Even tasted amazing the next day. The food came out fairly quick but not fast food McDonalds quick. Everything was extremely fresh and I was just drooling all over. I hadn't had a chance to come for the regular menu, but I enough the happy hour so much that I don't want to change a single thing. I will continue to come because it's great good and absolutely wonderful service from everything! Great first impression, impressive second and we're talking about a future together Pacific Catch. I'll catch you next time.

Fancy! Goldfish crackers and edemame snacks? Why not? Goldfish is seafood, right? I liked the free water in the blue bottles. Anything under "poke" is worth trying. All of their fish is super fresh. I had the grilled salmon and it came out perfect. My co-workers all ordered the rice bowls and they did not seem to enjoy it. The bowls were 90% rice and only 5 pieces of meat. Lunch time is very busy so it's hard to get the waiter's attention. You're only allowed to ask your waiter for something and not someone else' waiter which is new to me. It took us a while to get our check. Good thing we weren't in any hurry to get back to work :P

This is the go to spot for the girlfriend when she is craving a healthy salad. They give out large portions for their salads which if you're not really hungry, could possibly split it between two people. We love the appetizers and are big fan of the poke trio. The restaurant is huge and you can always decide if you want to eat inside or outside on the patio. Service is always on point. One time we went there and they forgot about us for awhile, they ended comping us with dessert even though we told them it was no big deal since we come there all the time. One thing about this place is that it seems like every time we come here the special is the same special from the previous visit. I don't know why they just don't end up putting it on the menu if the special doesn't change at all.
(5)Quynh T.
Love the crab salad and drinks! Skip the calamari. Nice, friendly service. Kid friendly.
(4)Jennifer T.
I love the poke options here and I'm always craving. Their happy hour has a great deal too. :)

They should call this place Suprise Catch because you don't know what the catch of the day is! Yesterday it was cod, which I'm guessing is the catch of the day 100% of the time. Still, this place was a suprise. The rice ball was surprisingly very fresh and tasty. Every single bite had a huge tint of flavor that really surprised my gf and I. Also had the mixed fish and chips package which came with osyters, shrimp, and cod fish. While rather unhealthy, it was pretty good. Also, their spicey fries were excellent. This place really is a nice little surprise for those wandering vagabounds who are on a journey of enlightment. Stop by!
(4)Jacqueline A.
The poke trio and the Carmel dessert. I don't even like Carmel and this is delicious like OMG. The manager Tony is literally one of the best managers I have ever seen, he doesn't have a stuck up attitude, really laid back and super friendly and helps put the wait staff. Highly recommend this place.
(5)Amy M.
Amazing food! The Cajun fries are off the hook and not too spicy! Both fish tacos and the shrimp taco were all equally delicious! We will definitely be back when we visit the area next! It is hard to find great seafood- but this restaurant did not disappoint!

For girls night, I wanted to eat somewhere I knew my boyfriend (who is picky and doesn't like seafood, would not eat). Pacific Catch was the perfect place to go! It has been in my bookmarks for a while. I was with my sister and niece and we got here around 6:30 Pm on a Saturday night. It was pretty full and we didn't make a reservation, so we were expecting to wait. Needless to say, they sat us right away, so we were very lucky. Looking over their menu, everything looked great. We ended up getting chicken tenders and fries for my niece, thai coconut shrimp as an appetizer, and my sister and I both ordered the Japanese wasabi bowl with crab (ask for half salad and rice, otherwise they give you lots of rice apparently). They come out first with complementary goldfish pretzel crackers and edamame. I thought it was a cute little thing they do and perfect for the kiddies. My niece ate all the goldfish before I could get to it. Thai coconut shrimp: Comes in a plate of 8 or 10 shrimp with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The shrimp was perfectly breaded and had a nice crunch when biting into it. I enjoyed this dish but it wasn't anything too special. I think it's worth ordering if you like shrimp. Japanese wasabi rice bowl w/ crab: This dish is full of wonderful ingredients. The bowl is layered out, on the bottom is the rice and salad, on top, they have seaweed salad, pickled daikon, spouts, and your choice of protein. ( I got shredded crab - Its real too and not that crappy imitation stuff) Everything in the bowl was great and I highly enjoyed the mixture of of the flavors. Service here is amazing. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful when we asked her what my niece could eat b/c she was allergic to shellfish. She noted that all the dishes were cooked on the same grill and fryer and suggested somethings like the chicken tenders and rice bowl were possibly ok to eat. She was very patient with us while we were making our decision. Also, we ordered an apple juice for my niece but she didn't like it and we told the waitress this and she apologized and took it off our bill. I will definitely be coming back to try their other bowls and dishes. I'm super excited that a pacific catch is opening up in dt san mateo b/c it's closer to me!

I think this place is a bit hit and miss. My husband thought his mahi mahi was a 4 star. My in laws enjoyed their fish and chips too, which is what I will try next time. My teriyaki chicken bowl was not great. The chicken was well prepared and delicious but that is where the sauce ended. My rice was dry and plain and all veggies were dry and plain too. Great if you are watching what you eat to not have sauce but I actually wanted the flavor on my meal, if not I would have order ed it plain. The lemonade I ordered was oddly club soda based. I wasn't expecting that. I am not excited about coming back but I do know now what not to get.

This place is fancy definitely a great experience but you must have some cash to spend but its totally worth it

While searching restaurants to dine at with some girlfriends, I decided to look at what restaurants take the Passport unlimited card. I had been wanting to try Pacific Catch because it was close by and prices are very fair, but was a bit hesitant from the so-so reviews lately. However, we decided to try anyways, and between the 5 of us and 2 passport cards, it wouldn't be too big of a loss if we didn't enjoy the food. Located at the end of the Pruneyard in between the Hilton and Ross, the parking lot was packed on a Saturday evening. After I was able to squeeze into the very tight parking, I saw that Pacific Catch was already crowded with lots of people waiting for a table. They do take Open Table reservations, but none were available when I had tried a few hours before. Luckily, they were able to take it over the phone. The hostesses were prompt when I checked in, but then they got so busy you have to stand around and wait for awhile. I really liked the feel of the restaurant, very modern and clean, but do get the reader's majority vote that the pillars in the middle of random tables is odd. Was seated near the outdoor seating, and the outdoor seating looked like a good place to dine as well! Nibbling on the edamame and pretzel goldfish was a nice touch as well as the blue bottles of water that is poured throughout your meal. Sparkling water is free, which is rare, as well as refills on all non-alcoholic drinks. The majority of the table decided on poke. Two of them had the 3 poke sampler, 2 had the hawaiian poke bowl, and I went for the 3 taco sampler (fried fish, mahi mahi, and steak) with spicy fries. Our waiter was really attentive in the beginning, but then the service started to fall. Cup for sparkling water took awhile. Extra wine glass took awhile. Ice for my water took awhile (with a reminder). But when the food came out, all else went out the window. Tons of food and everyone's looked great! Tried a piece of the poke, very fresh and flavorful. My tacos were outstanding, and even though I don't care for corn tortillas, everything went so well together, the sauces, cabbage, etc. Plenty of meat in these tacos, and the spicy fries were delicious. Overall, we had a great meal and already planning on going back next week. Just not sure if I should get the tacos or poke bowl next time!
(4)Ken K.
Not for me. The best thing about this place is the ambiance. The food was OK but not for the price they charge for lunch. Service was slow, and the server wearing jeans and a utility belt was not really showing signs of cleanliness. This restaurant should focus on serving good seafood dishes, but it tries to be an Asian place.
(2)Nancy W.
Good, not great. Front of house manager should be fired. No one seems to be serting standards for servers. Server had on skinny jeans, whote socks, converse, & white tank top. Servers should look professional, and wear black dress shirts, black shoes, black socks, blk. Dress pants, and only black tank top which shouldn't be seen. Employee lounge is next to bathrooms. Door opens and about 6 employees are hanging out, noisy, casual, and ignoring that customers can see and hear them acting like Bros. Water is served in blue bottles with no ice. Problem, it is not cold!!! Food was ok, but the overall shoddy, unprofessional staff are not.
(3)Jessica R.
Used door dash and ordered the Rising Sun roll, firecracker salmon roll, and starter salad. They were different...flavor wise I guess. I wasn't very fond of the sprouts in the roll but overall they were good! The starter salad dressing was really good also.
(4)Boshal L.
Love the great service and consistent food. We're suckers for the poke bowl and the Thai curry bowl. But we've tried a bunch of things and everything is yummy. It's a great family restaurant that's got a nicer ambience for special occasions, but can accommodate young kids too.

If you're off from work early...this place is a cool spot for really awesome happy hour yummzzz..... you can get fries, a piece of taco for $3.... Poke salads for $7; ceviche and more for $5.... It's awesome.... My skinny friend and i got... *Sweet Potato Fries - I love how it's cut thinly and it's crisp. Perfectly cooked and evenly seasoned. *Fish taco - I love how the mahi-mahi is not deep fried coated in batter. It's grilled or pan fried..it came with a slaw and it was just tasty... Happy Hour portion is one taco. *Steak taco - No, the steak isn't shredded..they weren't chunks either.. they were long, tasty pieces of meat with fried onions... it's yummy... *Baja Shrimp Ceviche - OOOOOOOHHHHH.. My ultimate faveorite of all we ordered... It was so refreshing...shrimps were fresh. Shrimp size = HUGE.. the sour with the guacamole.. yummmmyyyy..... *Fried Oysters - I thought they had fresh raw ones.. but they didn't.. we settled for this..it was EH. i hate deep fried, batter coated things... so i wasn't a fan of this. *Ahi Poke salad - OMG.. I love how fresh the sashimi is... I ordered this in the original mix; and found it tad too salty for my taste.. But my girlfriend who lives through salt; liked it... we had some cocktails too... It's pretty good. they're not cheap on their alcohol pouring. I would definitely go back. SERVICE: Excellent. Fast. PRICE: Decent AMBIANCE: Hip, Relaxed...Chill... The bar side of the restaurant is on a first come first served basis.. but there were booths that you can reserve. Wish they had bigger TVs... and more TVs.. PARKING: ugh. it could be tough parking in the plaza...

Ever since I had Poke in Hawaii a few years ago, poke has become one of my favorite dishes. Pacific Catch makes the poke right! The Grilled Mahi Mahi is cooked just right, yum! I also enjoyed the Korean sticky ribs. Make a reservation otherwise be prepared to wait! The first time I came here I just showed up, and the line was crazy. I ended up getting a seat at the bar which is not bad. I've been there a couple more times and I always make a reservation now.
(4)Greg S.
Brought my Grandpa here after we drove by another place that was too packed. This turned out to be a great choice! The staff was very friendly, and Salvador was a great waiter.The patio was very pleasant to dine on as well. We both had salads that were wonderful; he got a Calif Roll Salad and I got the Ahi Tuna Salad. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys sea food.
(4)Kristina S.
Waitress was extremely friendly and funny. Food was delicious, my husband & I shared the crab melt sandwich with sweet potato fries, both were delicious! One friend ordered the mahi mahi taco and loved it, as well as our other friend ordered the teriyaki bowl with flank steak and said it was fabulous. I had the mochi ball fondue for dessert which was also delicious!!! Will go again next time we are in town...
(5)Janet D.
It pains me to have to give this (otherwise nice) restaurant one star...but my last experience there was A.W.F.U.L. I was dining alone for lunch after shopping at the nearby Marshall's store. I was not feeling particularly social, so I opted to sit outside on the patio area where is it calm and quiet. After I placed my food order a couple with a dog (pitbull) walked up and started eyeing my table due to it's proximity to the exit and that it was a four top. I was minding my own business when the woman asked if I would mind moving so they could sit at the table that the hostess sat me at. What could I say? I felt rather intimidated so I begrudgingly moved. Once their party was seated, the fiasco began. First off, they were loud and obnoxious, secondly the manager of the restaurant offered the dog a huge bowl of water which it immediately tipped over and ran all over my feet under the tiny table that I was scrunched into. Thirdly, the dog unleashed itself and took off down the length of the outdoor patio (on three occasions) barking loudly and bothering all of the other patrons, including me! Once my food arrived, the waitress asked if everything was ok, I said "To be honest with you, no...everything is far from fine....my feet are wet with dog water, the people who ousted me from my table are rude and loud, the damn dog has been running around and is barking" She said, "Oh, I am sorry, I was surprised that they asked you to move, how rude of them." and that was it. I asked to speak to the manager and he pretty much just told me tough-luck, and that dogs are allowed on the patio. So, my peaceful lunch was ruined and I was made to feel like I was the bad guy for speaking up. It might just be me but I really feel that dogs (and pets of any other type) (short of service animals)) should not be allowed in eating establishments, stores, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc.

We came in for a casual birthday lunch with a party of five. The wait staff were extremely friendly and helpful with tips and recommendations. The serving size for the bowls and salads were large and very tasty. I ordered the grilled salmon wasabi bowl with half brown rice and half veggies. The wasabi dressing was a bit strong, but overall very flavorful. The birthday dessert option was also very generous: the table was given a full-sized dulce de leche spring roll with vanilla bean ice cream (which was huge compared to the customary scoop of ice cream most places serve).
(4)Riana B.
The sweet potato fries and edamame were pretty good. The fries didn't have much flavor but the dressings made it much better. My boyfriend's steak teriyaki rice bowl was mediocre at best. There were only 4 small pieces of steak, the shaved coconut was pointless, and the sauce was overwhelming. I got the mahi mahi tacos which were phenomenal. I recommend that! For desert, we got the mochi ball fondue that was AMAZING!!!!
(4)Theo T.
I have been here a couple of times and every time it does not disappoint. I usually come here for lunch which is perfect because it isn't extremely crowded like it is at dinnertime. When my friend and I first came in we were immediately greeted and taken to our table. We were seated on the covered patio area which was surprisingly perfect. Usually I hate sitting out on the patio because it is either really cold or too hot/sunny and there are random people walking by you, but since it was covered it was the perfect temperature and there was no one walking by us. We were also the only people seated outside so it was nice and quiet for me and my friend to chat and catch up. Even though we were the only ones outside on the patio area, our server was extremely attentive and helpful. She never forgot about us, even though I could tell she was busy and her section was out of view from our table. I usually order the Pan-Asian rice bowls when I come here. They are a little on the pricey side at $15 per rice bowl, but they are huge and delicious. I typically eat a lot and I cant finish this rice bowl. I usually eat about 1/3 of it and then save the rest for dinner. All of the rice bowls are pretty good, but my favorite is the Thai Curry bowl. It has sauteed eggplant, red bell peppers, green beans, cucumber, onions, toasted coconut, crispy shallots & green curry sauce and you have a choice of Shrimp Satay, Grilled Mahi Mahi, Grilled Chicken Breast, or Grilled Salmon (add $1). I usually get it with the Grilled Mahi Mahi. You can also substitute it with tofu if you are a vegetarian. You also have the option to get it with white rice, brown rice, mixed greens, or half rice and half mixed greens. I usually get the brown rice and mixed greens. Also this bowl is gluten-free so this was a perfect dish for me. This place is the best! It has great service, delicious food, and they even give you pretzel goldfish and edamame to nibble on while you wait for your food.

Happy as a clam! Came here for My birthday With group of friends. Great service and deliciously fresh seafood! I ordered the Hawaiian poke bowl with half brown rice and veggies. Also, shared a dulce de lechwe and mochi fondue with friends! Was delicious! Will be back to try other items on the menu!
(5)brittnaey b.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS great customer service here from the hostess to the waitress/waiter. I have never had a bad experience time after time I come here to eat. I love there entire menu and the rice bowls are always my favorite thing to order. Their "poke" is also really good, I can't remember if it's always on the menu but my boyfriend was the one that got me to try it and I ended up loving it! Everything is always fresh, and clean. Even when it's busy the wait isn't ever too bad and it's totally worth it. The price range isn't bad either, it's not too expensive but it's not under priced either. If your looking for a new place to try come here! I have also been to other pacific catch locations and they are all really good & all the same! Hands down probably my favorite place.
(5)Wendy L.
Pacific Catch is a solid spot for lunch - fast, healthy food with lots of variety. On a Friday afternoon, the restaurant was about 40% full so it was easy to get a seat. I had the Japanese Wasabi rice bowl with salmon - really large servings (though mostly a lot of rice). Salmon was cooked medium and a decent-sized portion. Lunch was on the pricier side (~$14) but a solid option.
(3)Arielle C.
Really great service. I didn't feel rushed or pressured into choosing what I wanted to order asap. If you want a nice place to have lunch with good company, come here. My friends and I went to continue celebrating my birthday and we chose this place because we heard many great reviews about it. The interior is awesome as well. The blue glass bottles they use to serve water is also used as lighting fixtures. I don't remember our servers name, but she was really nice and had a good personality. She helped me choose which poki was the most popular - original, but gave us her personal opinion on the other poki. She had great interaction with us and fantastic customer service. She knows how to be professional and personable at the same time, which makes the experience at this restaurant 5 stars. So we ordered the triple poki sample with the California, jalapeño, and original. I enjoyed original the best. And then I ordered the wasabi bowl with original poki. So goo! Large portions so either come hungry or share. Our wonderful waitress also let me choose an item from the dessert menu since it was my birthday. I chose the Carmel spring roll with vanilla ice cream. DELICIOUS. Overall each of my friends and I spent about $20. It was worth it and I would come again. Oh and I also loved that the guy who brought us our food was wearing a Giants jersey. GO GIANTS!

My 5th time coming here since the last one which was more than a year ago and I must say this place never let me down. My aunt who was with me and first time in this place loved everything we ordered: the strawberry lemonade (kind of a virgin mojito), trio hawaiian poke(on point! The seaweed salad and other else that went with it were delicious!), and korean rice bowl with marinated skirt steak(very tasteful. That should be how every steak should taste. Looooove looved every piece) :) The server- Very friendly and catering! ;) Vietnamese young man(it is a shame that I forgot his name) kudos to you! :) Overall experience-satisfied and happy! Will definitely come back! Just a heads up. This place gets packed especially during dinner. It was friday night when we came and the waiting time was about an hour so we only got to sit at the bar which was a nice area so I really do not mind, with high tables and chairs and three booths that separated the bar from the dining area. :) This place is always worth the wait!:) That's all I got to say! :)
(5)J T.
Unbelievably high quality for the price you pay...I've never had a less than fantastic meal here.
(5)Mabes C.
I really like the ambiance and layout of the restaurant, it's so sleek and modern. Nice place for a date. The first time I came I ordered the ceviche and California salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. The ceviche had an interesting texture, but the chips that it came with were yummy. I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon sandwich! Sandwich was $12 and ceviche was on the happy hour menu. The second time I came I ordered the Korean short rib bowl and it was really good too. The bowl was $15 I believe. This place is pretty pricey. Service is normal.

i came here several months ago with my husband and extended family members. since we were a part of 5, we were given a big comfortable booth outside, which was both spacious and comfortable. the weather was perfect that day, sunny with temps in the 70s. since i'd never dined here before (despite many, many shoppping trips at the pruneyard), i had no idea what to order. one of my relatives said the poke was great as a started, and anything with fish would be a good main dish. we ordered the pacific catch poke trio to share (mix and match 3 types of poke), and chose the lomi lomi, california style, and ahi macadamia nut options. all 3 were great, but my favourite was the ahi macadamia nut since the nuts were crushed on top and blended with sweet onions and a bit of sauce to give the poke a sweet and savory taste. this also came with a small side of seaweed salad, sliced cucumber, radish and carrot salad, and fried wonton crisps. for my main, i selected the hawaiian teriyaki pan-asian rice bowl. this was a large bowl of brown rice, topped with grilled mahi mahi, shiitake mushrooms, grilled pineapple, glazed carrots, edamame, crispy sweet onions, sesame seeds & teriyaki sauce on the side. in addition to being a fairly healthy entree, this dish was also very colourful and pretty which made me even more excited to eat it! the veggies were served either raw or slightly grilled which were great. the grilled pineapple was an interesting touch, as i normally eat this raw, and freshly cut, but the grilled taste gave it a nice kick. the crispy sweet onions were really yummy, but i restricted myself to just half of this since i knew these were deep fried. the fish itself was pretty good, lightly grilled, and seasoned with onions and sesame seeds; i just wish they didn't put so much salt on top (next time, i will request no salt!) i had a little bit of the teriyaki sauce to taste, but i'm glad that i didn't pour it all on my food as it was quite sweet and salty! service was very good, as our waitress was attentive and fulfilled all of our needs...a party of 5 with varying tastebuds and miscellaneous demands can be tough to serve, and i appreciate the patience that our waitress showed us. overall, a very good first dining experience here. and now that they have sister locations in mountain view and san mateo, which are both closer to me, i look forward to having a meal at both of these locations soon!

I went during Crab Fest, which celebrated the Local Dungeness Crab Season. I tried the crab melt. I thought it was pretty decent as they really do put a lot of crab in there. The only problem is that the crab did not have any of the fresh crab taste so I don't know if it's just canned crab (although that would not be much of a celebration). We also tried the glazed crab and shrimp dumplings and it was alright. The crab meat was again visible in the filling but it did not have the fresh crab taste that would have added to the flavor. I don't know if the fact that it was steamed in Sapporo beer gave it anything. I did really enjoy the side of edamame that they gave you for free. I also like how this place has chopsticks to make it seem more Asian, even though this is not a traditional Asian place. The service was decent. I ordered hot tea here which they had a decent selection of teas. For the price, the food was just okay. I really wish there was something more to the place that would be worth writing home about. But I suppose being consistent and having no disastrous dishes can be a strength also.

I reserved a party of about 8 with some co-workers directly after work on an early Friday night. We were seated promptly and I specifically requested a table in the patio area. I really like that area better than inside especially when the weather is great since it feels more open and you get natural sunlight. We got the table and from there, the service at least first, was completely non existent. It was only 5 pm and the place was empty, yet they completely ignored us for quite some time. I finally had to get up and look for someone. I'm not sure how a restaurant/waiter/server, whoever, could simply forget about a party of 8 in the back. Anyways, I believe the owner saw me looking around and I asked, "is someone going to attend to us?" He immediately took our orders. He was pretty chill and nice about it. From there, our designated server took our orders. She was pleasant but once again, the service was extremely slow. I'm not sure it's her fault completely b/c I had heard from one of my coworkers who was at the bar earlier heard a few of the arguing in the back. Regardless, as a server, you should have a feel as to how long an order is taking and to also let us customers know if there's a delay. No explanation from anyone. On top of it, my other coworker ordered an Arnold Palmer with vodka and they forgot the vodka. We ordered some other appetizers which were decent, if there's any saving grace. The owner did comp us the coconut appetizer, which was nice of him. But if he reads this, he really needs to re-evaluate some of his staff. Maybe servers don't care about service since they receive automatic gratuity? Not saying it was intentional but I will not be coming back, at least not with a big party.

THE BEST CEVICHE IN SAN JOSE! Try the trio and see which one you like the most! I like 'em all. The Ahi Poke Wasabi Rice Bowl is a must order! Order it with half salad/half rice! It's absolutely scrumptious. The chunks of Ahi Poke are yummy with the pickles and wasabi mayo. Also, their rice is really good for being plain rice. The restaurant is really modern and beautifully decorated. It's the perfect place for a date or an intimate family dinner.

Walked in around 6:30pm on Friday and got seated right away. Great start! Nice family atmosphere and friendly service throughout. Coconut and Ginger Tom Kha - I would have liked it more if it was less salty. Pacific Ceviche Trio - not as enjoyable as I hoped. I was really craving ceviche and this order got my hopes up. Poke was too heavy in soy. I didn't care for the taste of the Peruvian and it was quite watery but the purple chips were great. Baja was the most appealing to me. So refreshing and the shrimps were big. Teriyaki chicken bowl - I was impressed by how much food was in that seemingly small bowl. This was a really nicely done dish. Chicken was perfectly cooked along with the brown rice, pineapple and the sauce was just the right amount. Mochi fondue was a perfect finish. The melted Ghirardelli was delish!

Great food. Loved the poke, the wasabi bowl with ahi, and the ice cream... I think it's called moche. We also had a couple rolls that were delicious - tuna with avocado, and a spicy tuna roll. Our server was awesome, and the atmosphere in general was great.

I've been averaging a meal a week at Pacific Catch and it's become a NECESSARY staple in my diet. My go-to order? (really, the only thing I've ever ordered there...) The JAPANESE WASABI BOWL with Hawaiian poke and seared ahi, half brown rice, half greens. Is it bad that I recite the same order like a prayer from memory with relished glee? Well, that yummy rice bowl is just THAT great (and it's about time that I glorify Pacific Catch with a review!). I don't know if it's the harmonious seasoning of the poke, the perfect sear on the ahi, or the fragrant punch of the wasabi sauce, but I can't ever order anything else off the menu because the Japanese bowl is so darn addicting (and I don't use that word lightly)! My derivative of the bowl comes with Hawaiian poke, seared ahi, julienned cucumbers and carrots, pickled ginger, slices of avocado, wakame, and dried seaweed on a bed of warm brown rice and your typical selection of salad greens. The portions are generous and the proportions, well-balanced. What makes this bowl a home run for me is the happy marriage between all the ingredients above with the umami-tastic wasabi flavor. On a side note, I've also had the poke trio as an appetizer, which was also heavenly seasoned, but I've learned my lesson that one bowl is more than enough for a single sitting, unless you're willing to unbuckle those belts or wear elastic yoga pants. The food at Pacific Catch definitely outshines its service, not that service is ordinarily terrible, but it's usually nothing noteworthy, and at times, it has been borderline rude and inattentive. There's also issues with their OpenTable reservation system. I've been made to wait on several occasions way past my reservation time for a table. On one unfortunate night, my party and I were forced to wait up to 45 minutes past the time I had reserved on OpenTable before being seated. I understand that it was busy and that it was the weekend dinner rush, but what's the point of making a reservation if you end up having wait anyway? The cherry on top was our rude waiter who had horrible customer service skills. One of my friends had also asked him whether her bowl had green onions in it and he had replied no, but when it came out, my poor friend had to meticulously pick out all the green onions. Not to sound picky or privileged, but if she had been allergic to them, this would have become a serious issue. I hate to vent about one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay, but sometimes when you love something, you gotta be able to criticize it so gets better, tough love, right? That being said, kudos to our favorite blonde-haired hostess who regularly hosts Friday nights and always greets us with a warm and pleasant smile! Her amazing attitude and the food will keep us returning week after week :)

Love this place. Great place to take vendors and business associates. Wide selection of Cal-Asian inspired cuisine. The poke is fantastic!
(5)Betsy K.
Great ambiance, friendly service and good food! For appetizers we had the lomi lomi and spicy tuna roll. The lomi lomi was great. Spicy tuna roll just ok. For dinner I had the Hawaiian poke bowl which was really good. A few of us shared a pitcher of blood orange margaritas from their special menu. The drinks were delish!
(4)Chelsea D.
Nice, contemporary ambiance and good seafood. the Mahi Mahi tacos were a little spicy but the sushi and poke were tasty. our server was also really friendly and had a good sense of humor
(4)Mina L.
Three couples went there for the first time last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. We all were pleasantly surprised. I had the poke trio (California roll, Serrano, and natural) which were awesome. It came with amazing crisp wontons. It was filling & I will have it for lunch too. My husband loved his shrimp tacos & grilled artichoke, & our friends were well pleased with their salmon salad, opah, oni, & salad meals. Service is very slow, but worth waiting for. Don't be in a hurry, just relax & enjoy.
(4)Danielle A.
If I had come here before going to the location in SF, I would probably enjoy my stay here better. The service was less than decent, and I felt that my table was being overlooked, even though we were seated right next to the POS system that all the servers congregate at. The Poke bowl was good, a bit less tasty than that of the SF location, but the price seemed hiked up to me. The rest of the menu is a definite splurge and a deviation from their original prices, for sure.
(2)Rochelle 'Shella' T.
The food and ambiance are great. It's very kid friendly, as well. Our food arrived in a reasonable time despite the place being packed. We went on a Friday night. The dishes are seasoned just right.
(5)Dan G.
This is a really good restaurant with a nice ambience. The food is very good and consistent, always very fresh tasting. Highly recommend giving this place a try. The poke trio makes a great appetizer to share between 2 or 4. Tip: If you go for one of the popular rice bowls, consider requesting half rice, half salad - they're big and can be a bit much rice, I find the half half to be just perfect and I have a healthy appetite :)
(4)Jack L.
Pacific Catch is the perfect example of what a modern sit-down restaurant should be. The staff is always friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and happy. I love the ambiance-- casual, "tropical style" with hints of classiness. As for the food, you simply can't go wrong! Everything is very delicious. Some of my favorites include the Salmon Salad (unique salmon skin croutons are tasty!), the BBQ Salmon Sandwich, their Crabfest dishes (available seasonally), and the Sunset Rolls (these are outrageously good!). I'm always willing to battle the crazy crowds and parking for some tasty food at Pacific Catch!
(5)Joanna C.
Only had their 2 taco plate! Had them delivered via online delivery service. YUM!!! I will definitely order again and again! I must come by for a visit. The menu is awesome.
(5)Alessa M.
Eh. It came highly recommended by a friend and it had good yelp reviews. Average food, average service. No one told me about the specials. I had the seafood mixed platter with sweet potatoes fries. The fries were good but the coconut shrimp was the best part. I wouldn't go out of your way to come here.
(3)Claudia T.
Very nice restaurant. I had the salmon salad which was very good. Not a fan of the crispy salmon skin - I think the chunks were too big. Sprinkled as bread crumbs I think it would have been much nicer. Setting was very pleasant.

Went here for lunch with my mom and sister for my birthday and was very impressed! Saturday parking at the Pruneridge was a night mare as usual, but this little gem made it well worth it. (I'm resisting the urge to make a great "catch" pun about the place...) They have three ice teas to choose from, and we tried the house black tea with tropical fruit flavor. It was delicious, even without sweetener. I also love that they have both sparkling and still water which they give to you in a beautiful blue wine bottle so you can refill it yourself. We started off food with the soup of the day ($7), a coconut soup, similar to what you can get from Thai restaurants, but not spicy. My mom likes it spicy so they brought out sriracha sauce for her. Soup was excellent! Next we had the poki trio sampler ($19). We had the white tuna, California, and original. My sister felt the white tuna was more refreshing since it was white tuna with lemon, green onion, and red onion. I liked the California with avocado, and my mom enjoyed the original with soy and green onion. The poki was served with fried wonton chips, seaweed salad, and a cucumber carrot slaw side. They brought out gluten free chips for my mom who has a gluten allergy as well. Sampler was delicious! I had a special of the day ($16) and can't for the life of me remember what kind of fish it was. However, it was served grilled with a light curry coconut sauce and had a breaded with coconut and fried up rice cake. It was absolutely delicious, but I was too full to eat it all. My mom had a gluten free shrimp ceviche ($9) and it was delicious. Not too tart. She was smart in ordering small since our appetizers were really filling. My sister ordered the Vietnamese Steak sandwich ($12.50) with a side salad, which was a dressed up fancy version of a Vietnamese sandwich like what you might get from Lee's Sandwiches. I had a bite and it was very tasty. We rounded out the meal with the macadamia nut brownie sundae ($8) which was huge and chocolatey with yummy fudge sauce and delicious vanilla ice cream. My sister and I couldn't even finish this delicious treat. Bonus, they put a candle on it for me since it was a birthday lunch. And when we walked out a man who was not our server (I'm guessing manager?) wished me a happy birthday and thanked us for coming in. Service was friendly and generally quick (a few times we couldn't find someone when we wanted to get a dessert menu and then our bill). Ambiance is really neat. They have blue wine bottles that have the bottoms cut out hanging with lights in them in strings across the ceiling, and other small details that make the decor unique and inviting. Overall, I think this place is a winner. The quality and freshness of the food and service is phenomenal for the price point. The flavors are rich and full, but definitely "white washed" to appeal to more palates. In reading some reviews, people seemed to dislike this fact, but I think it just makes the place more appealing to more people. I will definitely be back and will definitely bring friends! It's hard to find great food at fair prices in the bay area sometimes. Pacific Catch is a great find!

This was me & baby girl's first time here & we ordered to-go. Decor & atmosphere was nice. We were immediately greeted by a lady in the front. She was very friendly. When ordering I ordered california rolls (which came with 8 pieces, pretty yummy) & I said at least twice that I would like to order kids meal of the teriyaki bowl of salmon & I wanted steak so she said I can do that too, but didn't tell me there would be additional charge of $3 for the steak. The salmon was pretty dry, but the steak was yummy). Then after I noticed after paying that she overcharged me...she charged me for a regular teriyaki salmon & steak & not a kids meal as I asked for. Idk how, but with her & the manager it took over 10 mins of figuring out how to pay me back the difference & even my food arrived & they were still trying to figure it out. Regardless with the mistake, I loved what I ordered so I would give it another chance. 06/22/2014

Came here on a Saturday night. Man was it busy. Sat at the bar cause we didn't feel like waiting 1.5 hrs. There's my tip for ya ;) We ordered poke (original), calamari, Korean short ribs, two shrimp taco plate and a small bowl of rice. Oh and 2 Holly Berry mojitos. Bill was about $85... did I think was worth it..nahhh. The poke was the best thing on the table. Seasoned well, good amount of tuna, yummy won ton strips. Will come back to try other styles. Korean short ribs were tasty, plated well and you did get about six. The two tacos were ahright. Each taco came with 3 shrimp topped cabbage, guac and cream sauce. On the side was a little 2-3 tablesppon bowl of black beans. My son wished there were more shrimp. He's 9 :). Drinks were good, will definitely check out happy hour which is 4-6 Mon - Thurs. As for the calamari, send it back to the sea! It was a pretty sad plate compared to the rest of the food. When you have to fry lemons and red chili peppers to disguise the calamari you know you are in trouble. You are a seafood joint.. your calamari better have it's game on! Service was not bad, just thought it could be a little better. The layout is fine and the blue bottles make a nice touch.
(3)Scott R.
Came in here on a tuesday for Happy Hour. All their wine bottles are half price on this day during Happy Hour. Great selection of wines. We ordered the Calamari and an Ecstasy Roll. Both tasted fresh and excellent. Calamari was served hot. Great, prompt service from Maria our waitress. Very casual vibe and value for a happy hour. Not super noisy ( no blaring sports on TV) except for a few obnoxious kids. Will come back to try their mixed drinks next time and sample more of their happy hour appetizers. Always looking for the ultimate happy hour experience.
(4)Meghann M.
Always consistent! The sushi is average but everything else is awesome. The bowls are good, the steak taco is my favorite, and you can never go wrong with the poke. I visit the area once a month for work and I never skip a visit to Pacific Catch.
(5)Danni Shinya L.
The food was great. Excellent flavor, generous portion. We went during busy hour so it took them a while to bring the food out. But I will definitely come back.
(4)Jenny M.
Awesome rice bowls and sweet potato fries! I've come here 3 times - twice for lunch and once for happy hour. You definitely can't go wrong with one of their signature asian fusion rice bowls. The bowls are huge and $15 each. My favorite is the Japanese Wasabi rice bowl with seared ahi tuna (I might try poke next time). It tasted basically like a decomposed sushi roll - there is nori, veggies, fish, and sushi ginger in the bowl. I always get the bowl with brown rice, which is delicious and healthy. The rice itself is mixed in a sauce that reminds me of mixing rice in wasabi + soy sauce when you eat sushi, again reminding me of a decomposed sushi roll. The only appetizer here that is worth the $ (because most are pretty pricey) are the sweet potato fries. You will get a huge platter for $6 and it is more than enough to feed a whole table. The fries are some of the best I've ever tasted! The calamari is also pretty good because they fry some thin slices of lemon with the squid and octopus, which is interesting, but the plate is pretty pricey from what I remember. I do not recommend getting the coconut shrimp, because it came out to be about $1 per small piece of shrimp...not good for groups larger than 2-3. The reason I am giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars is because, as others have mentioned, the service could be improved and some of the prices are a tiny bit on the expensive side for the food you are getting (for example, sure my rice bowls are delicious and good, but it is $15 and most of it is still rice...). The service is fairly attentive but none seem to have personality or the feeling that you are super welcome - more like they are there to take your order and leave if you don't have any more questions.
(4)Matthew H.
We have been back several times. Whenever we go to the Mountain Winery we stop here for dinner on the way. Atmosphere is fun and the food is great. I have had the fish taco's, and a few of their bowls. My favorite are the sushi rolls which we always get for appetizers. Finally we always end the meal with a mocha tray that comes with 3 mocha balls filled with ice cream and a great hot fudge sauce to dip them in. Great to split with a date. We will be back.
(5)Mimi L.
Being a fan of seafood, I knew I had to try this place out since I heard great things about the Pacific Catch in SF. For the appetizer I ordered the Poke trio, and chose the original poke, Baja shrimp ceviche, and the Lomi Lomi. It came with seaweed salad and wonton strips. Overall the poke was a little salty for me, so the seaweed salad was good for balancing that out. For main dishes, we got the crab melt, Thai curry mahi mahi bowl, and another crab dish. All super delicious! The Thai Curry bowl and the shrimp ceviche were among my favorites for what we ordered :) I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes!
(4)Jennie N.
I enjoyed the tacos here! I was very full and content after my 3 taco platter. I had the Traditional Baja Shrimp, Mahi Mahi, and Pacific Steak which were all good. Their sweet potato fries that came with the tacos were nice and crispy. I thought it was cute that they served Edamame and little gold fish pretzels as complimentary appetizers. We had excellent customer service. I enjoyed looking at the decor, the place had a zen feel to it. I loved that our water was served in bottles that matched the decor. Had a pleasant time dining here for my friend's birthday.
(4)Sarah S.
I work in the pruneyard so naturally I've been here for lunch, on more than one occasion. The one really cool thing about this place, is they use local foods and carry local products - I know this because a friend of mine worked there. They don't seem to advertise it all that much. Anyway when I come in its usually I for the tacos. They have really good tacos. Also they have a rotating menu with seasonal fish. They had a really awesome crab soup when it was in season. One thing, if you're looking for clam chowder, it's not a staple on their menu. They do have it once in a while, and it is good I guess (grew up on the coast so I am a little picky).
(3)Jason H.
Flavorful, fresh dishes! Both the Salmon Poke and Original Poke were nice starters. The seasonal Spicy Crab Chowder was very nice, as well. Plentiful portions of both salads and rice bowls. The option of brown rice is a welcome touch, as well. The Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls were delicious but difficult to eat. One had to use a knife to break it I to bite-sized pieces. Service was pleasant, but a tad rushed for my liking. And, there were no refills of our "water bottle." Hence, the loss of one star. But, the food will bring me back.
(4)B W.
I like the atmosphere of this place. Not too shabby or too fancy. Just right. I have dined here multiple times and order the korean bbq bowl. Comes with lot of rice and salad . For the amount u get I think the price is pretty fair. the rolls are ok. Nothing fancy or memorable. Service can be a little slow on busy days.
(3)Allister D.
I enjoyed my dinner last night! I ordered the ahi steak wasabi salad that literally tasted like sushi and sashimi. The dressing was probably the star of the show of my dish. It had a spicy bite to it which came from the wasabi. The ahi was grilled nice and had the smoky taste which was fantastic. My gf ordered the ceviche which was super citrusy but tasted great! The shrimp were huge and meaty. Light dinner for $25 plus tip! I also enjoyed the complimentary carbonated water and regular water in blue wine bottles along with a small plate of edamame and goldfish pretzels lol
(5)Thuy Dung N.
I wish this experience was a little better for my boyfriend's birthday. We were able to make last minute reservations and were sat immediately, but service was average. The server completely forgot about dessert.
(3)Kelly H.
We reserved the patio area for a late afternoon baby shower. The space was great and the service was outstanding. As our guest began to arrive, our server came immediately to take their drink order. We pre-ordered our menu selections and the food timing was perfect-appetitizers-calamari, sticky ribs and coconut shrimps, a few baby games and then tacos, salad, sweet potato and regular fries. We would hold another event here again!! Thank you Pacific Catch and our fantastic server!
(4)Dahlia S.
Bottom line at the top: very disappointed in the food here, but service was very nice. -- They start you off on a very high note with a small portion of deshelled edamame and pretzel goldfish. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. We were asked if we wanted flat or sparkling water (both complimentary), and we went with flat. There were small white particles floating in the water? Not a good sign at all.. We decided to have the shiso fine roll as an appetizer and this was the best thing we had, but it wasn't amazing. Also ordered two mahi mahi tacos and one fried shrimp. Skip the mahi mahi tacos and go with the shrimp. The sweet potato fries were okay but got cold very fast. the fish pieces from the fish and chips were way too thick, but the spicy fries that came with them were good. two of us never like coleslaw and the one coleslaw fan was not a fan of this one. The highly acclaimed wasabi rice bowl with the tuna poke was pretty bad. The poke was not fresh and the soy sauce on top was dreadful. Luckily it was ordered with double protein and the crab salad was decent. I would definitely NOT this again, but if you are still going to order the rice bowl anyways do yourself a favor and get the crab salad. Needless to say we didn't get dessert and hightailed it out of there, vowing never to return again. Yelpers you really let us down on this one. EDIT: The marketing and events manager messaged me within minutes of posting this review and told me she would forward my thoughts to the GM and chef and apologized for the bad experience. Again, service is very good (both at the restaurant and in terms of managing their online presence), but unfortunately I can't say the same about the food.
(2)Jenno H.
i came here because of the great yelp reviews but in my honest opinion nothing i had really stood out to me as good as a matter of fact i didnt like it very much. The flavor was intense but a little to intense for me and those who joined me my thai tea was not so good ethier the hostess was sweet and my waiter was nice and helpful but the food here was not what i had expected. Maybe ill have to give it another try
(2)Shauna S.
We LOVE Pacific Catch. It's right down the street from our house, so we walk there for dinner usually about once a week. My fiance and I usually order one of two things, either the BBQ Salmon sandwich or the tacos. The BBQ Salmon sandwich is so good, we almost always order that. I love the sweet potato fries that are an option with the sandwich (I also like that you don't have to pay more for that option). The tacos are also really good, I love the mahi mahi and the baja tacos, while my fiance really likes the steak tacos. We have also been with company who have tried many different menu items, all with great reviews. We have yet to hear a complaint about the food. We also had a crab corn chowder once that was unbelievable. Overall, I think the service is great, the food is great, and it also has a great atmosphere. Good for dates, dinners out with family, etc.
(4)Luca Z.
The crab was great!!! The restaurant is nice as the food. I came just for the crab and lucky me it was one of the last 3 :)
(5)Siobhan F.
The portions are ridiculous. I do like getting a bowl and getting half salad half rice because it makes me feel a whole lot better about myself. So far my favorite has been the thai curry bowl. I've also had the poke bowls with ahi tuna, but I just think I must not be a poke lover. My boyfriends family likes to come here for special occasions because its easy to find something for everyone without having to go to Elephant Bar or Cheesecake factory.
(3)Angeline Z.
I thought the ambiance was really fresh and hip. I got the mix and match Island tacos and got one grilled steak & a Mahi Mahi with sweet potato fries. Overall I thought my meal was okay. My spouse got a rice bowl and thought it was amazing, but I just wasn't impressed with this place. Service was great taking our order, but was really slow to get our check, and I felt sometimes our waiter was at the bar watching whatever was on TV, so not too happy about that. Anyhow, cool place, thought it was okay. PS. Got the California Sushi roll and it was pretty bomb.
(3)Tani H.
I would actually give it 4.5 stars! While youngest child was away at camp, Handsome Husband and I went out for a much needed Happy Hour. It was fantastic! The menu items on the Happy Hour menu were really fantastic, and the amount of food was plentiful. We ordered four items -- coconut shrimp, a clam thing, sweet potatoe fries and serano ahi poke. We couldn't finish it all and we went in starving. Better thing is that Handsome Husband had two mai tais that he said were amazing, and I had 3 glasses of chardonnay, and the entire bill was $80. It was a complete meal, with leftovers. (I didn't order Happy Hour wine, and we ordered more food than we needed so it could definitely have been done more economically if you needed or wanted to.) Loved this place. We sat in the outside area of the bar which felt perfectly like half in and half out ... really a great place. Can't wait to go back with my girlfriends, too!
(4)Hannah C.
Pretty darn tasty. Lots of options for seafood but also lots for people that don't like fish a ton like myself. Food tastes yummy and there are a lot of healthy options. It gets pretty loud when it's busy but the food is definitely worth it.
(4)Thi N.
I don't know why people come here. Some people love it, but I feel like this is a place where you go if you're not very hungry because portions are small. My friend loves the fish tacos here and I guess it was my mistake of not getting that. Fries are not crunchy and the fish and chips are not crunchy as well.. They're both seemly soggy.. Oh and guess what?.. They don't carry ranch and I love ranch. Bummer The cocktails were good and the salmon poke bowl. It's a very nice venu with a nice patio area but I probably wouldn't come back. Good thing I was with good company (:
(3)Nic P.
So basically, this place is awesome. Their Rice Bowls are crazy big portions and definitely could share between two people unless you can handle big portions then go for it. The sticky ribs are delicious as well. Customer service was great too. I'd love for them to open up a spot in Berkeley/Oakland area. We had our dogs so we sat outside, and they were quick to seat us and had a water bowl ready to set down for our dog. Thanks guys! You guys are awesome!
(5)Ariel B.
The food was so so, and our server ** **** was rude and disappeared for 25 minutes while our water glasses were empty, i'd totally skip this over priced foo-foo fusion place.
(1)Nate B.
Oh no...... I found my new favorite restaurant and if I'm not careful I will go to it soo often that it won't be fun anymore. THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FISH TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE..... DEAD SERIOUS -- they rival the fish tacos that I make at home. Here's what you're gonna do -- SIT DOWN in the bar area if you can. 1 x Order Mahi Fish Tacos 1 x Order Steak Tacos 1 x Order Baja Tacos - Kindly ask for some Ciracha and cover your tacos in the majestic orange sauce. Finish off your tacos with a couple beers I swear there is no better place to chill out and enjoy your tacos. Btw I forgot to mention their staff is amazing and nice and deserve ALL YOUR TIPS.
(5)John P.
Really good restaurant located inside the pruneyard in Campbell. Parking wise, during peak times it could get pretty crowded in the front of the restaurant but there's usually plenty of parking the back area. This restaurant specializes in seafood, with sorta a Japanese fusion style to it with dishes such as poke, rice bowls, sushi, etc. Look wise, its nicely decorated, especially the restrooms which shows how detailed they were in making the restaurant look perfect. As for the food, we started off with the poke variety dish, and for the main course had the fish taco trio and the teriyaki fish rice bowl. The poke sampler allows you to choose 3 different types of poke...we tried the macadamia nut one, classic style, and white tuna. I would say all three was really good and really fresh. Price was about 19 bucks...but could easily be shared with 4 people. I also liked how they included some vegetables and seaweed salad which was a major plus. As for the fish taco trio, you can choose which type of fish taco's you want...I got the baja style, shrimp with fish, and mahi mahi. Each have their own variations such as sauce, texture, condiments, etc. I would say the tacos tasted very good, tortilla's were very soft and you could definitely taste the freshness of the fish. As for the teriyaki fish rice bowl, portion was very big for one person. The bowl also included grilled pineapple which was a plus. I believe they also use brown rice instead of the usual rice. Overall it was a good experience dining here. Price a little, I'd say is a little on the higher side. But perfect for groups, a date, or even just a casual dinner. Would definitely recommend this place!
(4)Vincent T.
Decided to treat myself to a dinner. Started off with the fried oysters! Make sure to get a side siracha to add to the tarter sauce and squeeze all the lemon juice ! Oysters were awesome ! Dinner BBQ steak bowl ! I found myself looking for my steak ! However the flavors were sweet to sour to hot ! Great food fun spot
(5)Amir B.
Food quality for its price: Excellent - There really isn't much improvement that can be done here, considering its competitive price. Service: Great - I think they can step it up a tad bit here, but overall I don't have any complaints. Environment: meh :/ - Pacific Catch claims to be "Fresh Fish Grill". Can you please make your restaurants be a more of a seafood environment please? I've never gone to Pacific Catch thinking that this is a "Fresh fish joint". Overall, the service, quality of food, and its competitive price gives me a 4/5 Yelp starts. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's one of my few favorite restaurants.
(4)Randy R.
Nice place make reservation without them u will wait friendly staff food was very good fish and spicy fries with calamari app. Only thing keeping it from being a 5 is food took forever to come out of the kitchen overall good visit would recommend
(4)Gretchen J.
Disappointing the only good thing about he experience is my server he was awesome . The food was overly greasy in taste and appearance ...
(2)Loan L.
This is my favorite restaurant in the Bay, I make an attempt to come here at twice a month. Fish tacos and poke are my go to items. Get the California or Serrano poke, never fails. I'm drooling just thinking about this place!
(4)Megan J.
My favorite fish and chip place ever! The food and service is always great! Their iced tropical black tea is absolutely delicious! They also have a covered, outside seating area great for warm weather!!
(5)C D.
Thought I'd continue to go here and just stick to the bowls since those are the best things here but sadly I'm even more disappointed. Found a huge bug as I was dipping the greens into my dressing :(.
(1)Barry H.
I like this place for a Wednesday night but not for a fancy night out. Food is fresh but a bit pricey for what you get. Still a good deal.
(3)Lorianne L.
We were in the neighborhood and my friend wanted to try it, so I gave Pacific Catch another try. This time we were there for dinner. We had a 5:30 reservation and the place was packed! We were surprised it was so crowded so early. Our waiter apologized for the long wait. He was swamped and running around like crazy. It was super loud in the restaurant. How loud was it? It was so loud we had a hard time hearing each other, and we were sitting right across from each other leaning in straining to hear. I had the Korean BBQ w/skirt steak. The meat still had some pink, and all I enjoyed all of the toppings. My friend started with a HUGE side salad. She liked her Panama style Mahi Mahi with the black beans & rice. So my second meal at Pacific Catch was okay. Food was pretty good, but service and atmosphere was hard to take. I guess if you are into the bar scene or doing a lot of people watching, this could be a good location. However, if you want to be able to carry on a conversation or talk about anything private, you may want to avoid Pacific Catch.

The place gets busy during dinner! First time here and it was good, but not sure if it's worth the money. +ceviche trio - hawaiian poke, preruvian and baja shrimp were all amazing! +sweet potato fries - never fails +steelhead in dashi broth - super small portions and expensive =/ +ecstasy roll - albacore, ahi tuna and avocado roll - deepfried with citrus soy - good! +thai tea and lemongrass infused tea - pass!

Ordered the spicy tuna roll here and it was awful. It didn't taste fresh. I will not be returning here. The MV location is better.

I came here for a late lunch today to find out once and for all if this place lived up to the hype I had heard and read about from Yelp. Surprisingly when I had arrived, the place was pretty dead but that worked out for me since I was starvin' Marvin. I ordered the Japanese Wasabi Pan-Asian Rice Bowl with Hawaiian Poke plus brown rice and the Ecstacy Roll as an appetizer. Funny thing was the server didn't bring out the complimentary snacks (edamame and the goldfish pretzels) as I had noticed you should get based on other Yelper's reviews. The only reason I even got some snacks was because I had asked the manager on duty (who was also our food table runner) if he could bring some to us. Aside from that, the Ecstacy Roll was decent (considering it had no rice) but it was definitely on the sweeter side due to the sauce it was sitting in. The Japanese Wasabi Bowl had a myriad of vegetables (from seaweed salad to cucumbers, etc.) and the Hawaiian Poke sitting on top of a big helping of brown rice. I also thought the bowl tasted decent with the exception of the soy wasabi flavoring that was on the brown rice. I didn't realize the rice would be doused in those flavors based on the vague description in the menu so I chose not to eat the brown rice and opted to eat just the veggies and the poke. All in all, the ambience is nice and the service is very attentive however based solely on the food, I won't be returning.

Not sure why the reviews are so good for this place.... we visited on Feb 15 at lunch time and the kitchen was extremely slow to serve our food. In fact I noticed the 3 tables around us also were waiting an abnormally long time and guests were looking annoyed and impatient, just like us. It took about 40 minutes for our entrees to be served. That was simply unacceptable. I feel bad for our waitress (who was actually quite nice) to have deal with angry guests because of how slow the kitchen was taking. We will definitely not be coming back.

Interesting menu...I would categorize it as an attempt at pacific rim fusion. My opinion is that the chef is sticking too close to a Hawaiian menu for me to deem it fusion. It is lacking the hallmarks of pacific rim fusion...traditional or french technique with pacific rim ingredients. Don't get me wrong, the food is great, but with a bit more effort it could be spectacular. Otherwise it is good Amer-Asian food. Preparation was great...but not awe inspiring.

Lunch was fabulous! I had the mahi mahi Veracruz and coconut soup. The soup was deliciously spiced as was the mahi mahi. Amanda gave us great service: attentive and friendly. The food is always great Asia the service.

I had heard good things about this place but wasn't expecting much, and it ended up being a great dinner. It was surprisingly uncrowded on a Sunday night, but we chose to sit at the bar, which I thought was better than the main dining room. They had some good cocktails for summer. I tried a spicy pacific (jalapeño, passion fruit, vodka), which had a nice kick, and a prickly pear margarita (don't be scared by the bright pink color!). I had the margarita without agave since I like my drinks tart. - Sweet potato fries: a big plate, good chili dipping sauce - Mango shrimp ceviche: just the right amount of acidity, balanced out by avocado - Seared ahi tuna salad: fresh seared tuna, slightly under-seasoned. It came with pickled ginger, which was pretty strong but good. It was a pretty light salad with lots of mixed greens - Miso salmon special: I don't usually order salmon, but the miso was done really well. A lot of times dishes like this taste very generically Asian, but this one was more well balanced This is much better than your usual shopping plaza restaurant, and I'm glad they just opened one closer to me in Mountain View.

Amazing Poki! This place was great with great flavors and especially the poki was to die for. I had the Serrano pepper poki and it was perfectly spicy (i usually like my food pretty spicy). I also have tried the ribs which is a tiny bit salty but was delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful on picking out food. Will be coming back soon!
(5)Kim l.
My friend found this place on yelp and I was excited to try it since there were so many good reviews. Alas I was semi-disappointed with the food. Fish tacos: 3/5 a little on the soggy side. Poke: 4/5 the one with the green onions and soy sauce like sauce was the best of the three that we chose Ahi salad: 3/5 not too memorable Fish and chips: 2/5 soggy meh. The actual place is spacious. We sat outside in the back patio which was nice. Waiter was attentive. The food could have been better.
(3)Juliana B.
Really love their daily specials , very fresh and well done ! The tacos and the ceviches are just perfect !
(5)Me M.
I'm totally hooked on their Vietnamese sandwich. YUM! The ceviche is killer too. I always get excited to see their specials menu because there's always something new to fall in love with. Definitely a must try!
(4)Irma C.
I have been to this place a couple of times but today was the best Adam the bartender was excellent when someone remembers what they recommend last time you where there that says a lot about him he is always so polite always offering you water and tonight he recommend a awesome tangerine beer which I loved and he recommend a awesome dessert that I think next time I'm having dessert first it was delicious it was ice cream with a fried spring roll filled with cheesecake the best ! So far everything he recommends is the best ! I will go back to see what else he recommends
(5)Eliza T.
Came for lunch. Restaurant was very busy but service was quick. Ordered California Poke and Mahi Mahi tacos. Both delicious and good price. Menu has great specials and lots of other tasty and healthy options. Will definitely come back!
(4)Rachel C.
so crowded! make a reservation beforehand! The atmosphere is nice. it is a liiiitle crowded feeling though but its not too bad. maybe just because the place was really packed that night. I've been wanting to come here to try their ahi and honestly... it was allllllright. having had the real thing in hawaii. Maybe I just ordered the wrong ahi to try? I would give this place a 3.5 to be more accurate. But this place is a little overpriced in my opinion. But I will definitely give it another try.
(3)Gerardo N.
In town for business and dropped in for dinner. Got tacos, steak and shrimp, and the signature margarita. Everything was pretty good. The tacos were tough to eat without dropping some bits. Great value, expect comfort food, no fancy dishes.. I wouldn't have a business meeting over lunch or dinner, unless you don't mind getting a grease spot on your shirt. It gets 4 stars since it's a great value.

If you haven't gone here yet, GO. I can't recommend this place any more if you like Japanese food. Did I mention they have Brown Rice too? Yup, they have this option if you're trying to be healthier like I am. We were here for my dad's birthday a few weeks ago and I have to say that *every* dish we had was really good. Let's start off with mine: *Japanese Wasabi- wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce. The waitress said that this was one of the most popular items on the menu and since I couldn't decide between this and the salad version, she said that I could have the cooks portion it out so that I could have a little more salad than rice. Basically, I was having both dishes blended into one. Yay! This was so good and filling that the next day when I had the leftovers for lunch, I wish I had more. My only complaint here is that I wish it had a larger serving of the Seared Ahi. *Thai Curry with Mahi Mahi- sauteed eggplant, red bell peppers, green beans, cucumber, onions, toasted coconut, crispy shallots & green curry sauce. They hit it right on with this one. The Thai Curry sauce was perfectly creamy- not too rich and not too light and everything blended together so nicely with the rice. Lovely dish. *Korean Barbecue- green onion panchan, seasoned cucumber, shredded omelette, daikon sprouts, shredded nori & Korean BBQ sauce. My brother ordered this one and since I'm not a big steak eater I wasn't too excited to try it. He offered a bite and it was delicious. Great for anyone who loves the taste of Korean Barbecue. If you're ever in the area stop by if you're in the mood for Japanese.
(5)Jesse T.
Good food, reasonable prices, never had any issues with service and overall it's a fun place to go wit the full bar and sports games on. Only recommendation is to make a reservation as it can get very crowded.
(4)Eric M.
Just had a fantastic lunch here. Thai Salmon bowl, highly recommended. Fish was fresh, perfectly grilled. Sauce was complimenting the dish, not overpowering it. Waitstaff was great, accommodated any questions and requests we had.

Maybe I'm one of the 10% who didn't like Pacific Catch. On a Friday evening, we were out that area and getting to dinner time.. I really didn't want to come here but there isn't more in the prunyard. So we decided to give it a try. Went in and wasn't crowded at all so the host seats us at the smaller table right by their wait station area. Anyone who comes in and peeks into the dining room, you will start right at us. I looked at the several open tables and asked if we can be moved to one of them. She didn't like that because she would have to go and get another assigned table. Seems like many restaurants have this pre-set seating that already assigned. Cheesecake Factory had that system. I go and follow her as we whiz around the entire place..literally, I thought she was going to direct me in the storage area hallway. But she suddenly makes a sharp right and I'm out in the outdoor/indoor seating area that has a door open to the parking area but we are under a canopy. Alrighty then...guess it's the punishment for asking to not sit staring at the waitstaff as I have my meal. That evening was a chilly evening so my hubby had to go back to the car for my jacket. People like to eat in this setting but me, it's like eating inside a tent. Our waitperson was very nice, did his thing. Explained the menu and emphasized how great the specials were. I opted for the 2 piece fish and chip with regular fries. Hubby had the special...Miso flavor Cod over bed of brn rice and something else...yes, it was that memorable. Oh, we also had the Cabo Calimari as our appetizer. entrées came, no appetizer. Runner went back to waitstaff. Waitstaff came back and before we had a chance to say anything, he was on it. He said "Calimari coming right up..on the house" Dude knew how to defuse! While we were eating our entrees. Fish and chips....my cod was not fresh. I understand I got the fried fish so it will be the old fish. But it was old borderline foul smell. Thank goodness the pieces were so small, I knew I wouldn't get sick eating it. Pieces are the size of a German potato pancake. The fries are just fries. The slaw was just awful. Miso Cod..fresher piece of fish but please if the dish name has miso in it, add the miso generously. It was okay, not worth the total cost. I knew my hubby was still hungry when he reached over to eat the leftover fish and fries off my plate. Cabo Calimari...seriously?! Cold, not crispy and defiantly no memorable. Glad we were not charged for it. Is pacific catch something to tell all my friends about, I would not. I can see from the yelp, many people truly enjoy this place. If it's for the fish and chips, then I must have had a bad batch. Honestly, I will drive over to Union and Bascom for fish and chip. To me, that is good fish and chips
(2)Karen C.
I recently had lunch at Pacific Catch and really enjoyed my meal. Once you sit down, they give you a little plate of edamame and pretzel goldfish crackers. The edamame was really good. Its a nice snack while you look over the menu and wait for your meals. I ordered the California Roll Salad. It was basically the insides of a California roll but in salad format. Lots of fresh yummy crab, avocado, cucumbers, good salad greens. The dressing was little spicy but tasty. My dining companion had the shrimp tacos. She really enjoyed them. Our waitress was good. Not too pushy, came around often to check on us. I definitely will try this place again.

What a waste of a bday dinner! First and last time here! BTW, spent ~$300 for a party of 8. Should have gone somewhere else! The food was forgettable and overpriced, but what really did this restaurant in was the horrible service. I mean, for the prices we paid, I expect a certain level of service and friendly hospitality. Sadly, we didn't get it here and they are losing any future visits from us and hopefully, anyone who reads this. One good thing (thus the 1 star) everyone from the greeters and managers were so friendly, but...how does the saying go... "One bad apple spoils the bunch." That bad apple's name is MARIA, our server. She had some type of chip on her shoulder, was having a bad day, normally has a bad attitude, is a terrible server, or, as I suspect, ALL OF THE ABOVE! First, from the moment we sat down until the end of our meal, she came off as stuck up, unfriendly and annoyed to be there. EARTH to MARIA: You are a server and its your job to treat the guests at your tables with respect. One tip: Even if you aren't in the mood to be friendly, why don't you at least make an effort to fake it. I asked to substitute my small side of beans for something else due to dietary reasons. Before I could even finish my sentence, Maria said "we can't make substitutions". Nevermind, that I was willing to pay for a different side, what kind of restaurant DOESN'T make substitutions for dietary reasons?!? The rest of the night was a blur of Maria being annoyed every time we asked for more water, an extra glass, more napkins...you know, normal stuff you ask your server. Pacific Catch had such potential to be a frequent dining location for us. That won't be happening!
(1)April A.
This is a nice restaurant with good veggie options. I usually get the Teriyaki bowl with tofu and half rice half greens. It has pineapple, edamame, carrot, teriyaki sauce and then the tofu, rice and greens. I also recently tried the green curry bowl with tofu. That was good as well..
(4)Inigo M.
Generous, delicious rice bowls, particularly Korean barbecue bowl. Excellent non-alcoholic mojito ("nojito"). Pleasant service.
(4)Michaela L.
I would not call this uber-gourmet but I would also come back and try some other things. Original poke - This was far saltier than I like. Someone might have had a heavy hand with the soy sauce that day or maybe this is how they do it on purpose, but either way, we didn't finish this. Bummer, because I quite like poke. Our server took it off the bill. Sushi roll - We had one with shrimp, avocado, ginger, cucumber, and lemon zest. I liked the lemon zest; I could have done without the internal ginger though my husband liked the effect. The nori needed to be toasted more (it was a a bit stringy). Fish and chips - Pretty good. Felt like the fish needed seasoning (the salt was mostly on the battered part). They split an order for us and plated it separately, which was nice. Service was friendly and prompt. This place is fairly close to where our new house is going to be, so although I was not precisely blown away, we'll keep it on the list to try more stuff in future.
(3)Renee R.
Very good, but not extraordinary. Food: Fish is very fresh and portions are huge (so don't be wary if you think it is overpriced). My meal was very good but not exceptional. Menu: Great variety of different items including: tacos, salads (huge salads), rice bowls and appetizers. Service: The wait staff was very attentive and efficient. Atmosphere: OK. The restaurant is a little loud and the tables were also a too close together. I also felt like the tables were too high (or the chairs to short)--I'm average height (5"5) and I felt like I was slightly reaching up. Likewise, it's not situated in an ideal area of the Pruneyard. Specifically, it is in the far corner of the Pruneyard (towards Bascom and Hamilton) so there is a lot of traffic outside. Please Note: Pacific Catch is actually Fish-Asian fusion so if you are look for a traditional / straightforward fish restaurant you might want to rethink coming here.
(3)Caroline P.
Last night was my families first time dining at Pacific Catch, when we walked in The Atmosphere was beautiful, and the food is delicious! The crab stuffed sole was my favorite! Our friendly server La'shae gave prompt, excellent service, we will definitely be coming back for dinner soon..
(5)Kimberly L.
So the day after writing my review (thats impressive within itself), the manager contacted me and apologized for my bad experience, and offered the opportunity to have a better entree experience at the restaurant on her. Although i probably won't have a free night to dine in at the prune yard any time relatively soon, its still a super good sign of good management! Im eager to try the food again.
(3)Jacquelyn M.
This is not my first time at Pacific Catch...we've been coming here for years (we used to live near the one in Corte Madera). Now we live no where near a pac catch but luckily they have this one in Campbell that is our go to stop for dinner after a day at the beach! It is located right of off the Hamilton exit on highway 17. In any pac catch I've been to the staff is always super friendly. We never make reservations but don't have to wait long for a table (we're usually here on Sundays so I'm not sure how packed it is Friday and Saturday). It is great for kids and I LOVE that they put a nice big serving of steamed broccoli, just as big as the french fry portion. I highly recommend the poke salad, it's a staple. They have good mixed drinks as well. If I were to sum up Pac Catch in 3 words it would be Fresh, Friendly, and Fantastic ;-)
(4)Ugur T.
I like this place, very good! Best calamari with the incredible tasty sauce . Thai curry bowl with skirt steak or shrimp with tangerine wheat beer. So good. Service might be slow and not organized sometimes but I usually go during the slow times of the day and sit at or near bar to make sure I get someone to take care of me .
(4)Kailey O.
You know a quality restaurant when: 1. They are playing the niners (and I assume most other bay area team's) game at the bar. There are 2 TVs in the restaurant (bar) 2. The staff is friendly (specifically the bartender on sunday night) 3. So friendly that the manager himself came out to greet us personally 4. Free dessert offer on foursquare checkin (highly recommend the dulce de leche "spring rolls") 5. The food is tasty - Ordered the Wasabi rice bowl. the size is HUGE, and you know its a good quality when the leftovers the next day are just as good as the day before. The bits of creamy avocado mixed with ginger, poke (raw ahi), brown rice, lettuce, etc... mmmmmm 6. Tuesday is half off bottle of wine day 7. Happy hour M-F 4-6 8. Ambience is hip, romantic, modern 9. Need I say more? Great first time experience, I will be back :)

We went here for my friend's birthday back in November. There were 6 of us and it was all our first time coming. At first, we were all pretty excited because we have heard such awesome things about the food. When we walked in we were seated immediately, which was awesome. But, after we were seated, Maria, who apparently was our waiter, comes by and drops off menus without saying one word. There was no hello, how are you, or even asked if we're celebrating anything. When she returned the 2nd time to get our order, we asked for recommendations and what she thought about certain items so we could create conversation and all me got was a quiet, uninterested, monotone response. Every time she had come back, she was rude and stuck up, like she was better than all of us at the table. We ended up ordering 6 plates of entrees, 4 appetizers, and 3 pitchers of Mai Thai. The Mai Thais were strong and definitely worth the money. As far as food, the poke plates and calamari were very tasty but the breaded and fried oysters and fish were way too breaded and oily. All the other plates we ordered were also pretty good. (Which is why I still gave 2 Stars) The worst part of the meal was after we had paid the tab. Our bill came out to be around $200 and we gave the waitress about $25 tip because of how rude she was throughout our entire meal. Maria storms back to our table DEMANDING a larger tip. Telling our table how she needs to pay off the hostess and the bartender. And blah blah blah. Because we apparently didn't suffice her and after she pays everyone off she won't have any left. She's lucky she to receive what we gave her and that we didn't take the tip away completely after her unnecessary outburst. A tip is a form of gratitude. It is not required. If you want a larger tip, give better customer service. It's plain and simple.
(2)Vicky L.
I came across the review for the SF location and while poking around on their website, realized that they had one in Campbell! Perfect! I made a reservation on Opentable since I was in charge of making the plans for my Aunt's birthday. It's located in Pruneyard, and I usually hate looking for restaurants in Pruneyard since its so spread out and signs are hard to see but this restaurant is located on the Bascom side of the shopping center. Service was FANTASTIC. I baked a NY Cheesecake from scratch the night before and dragged the monstrosity in and the manager and hostess was nice enough to take it to the back to refridgerate and not charge a cake cutting fee! Our server Gilbert was great! it's not easy dealing with my loud multi-lingual, we-don't-follow-etiquette-family. We have a tendency to place our orders in a willy nilly fashion and not go in order... or do the ladies first and then gentlemen. Pacific Catch was offering their crab festival and we ordered two of the whole dungeness roasted crabs for the table to share. In addition we ordered a variety of crab melts, crab chowders, and fish and chips. Food was solid. The noodles with the whole crab was on the gummy side and clumped together. That was the only part that needed improvement. The crab melt was delicious and could use more clumpy crab meat instead of coming off as canned; especially for the high price. Mahi mahi was solid and came with a generous helping of rice and bean. Crab chowder was delicious. Food was pretty much a hit except for the slight slip ups. At the end, Gilbert brought out a pitcher of hot water with a knife and spatula, along with an extra napkin so we can slice the cheesecake. 5 star service!!! 4 star food, Given that the manager and Gilbert were so awesome, I'll round up. :)
(5)Crys S.
OVERALL: Good clean food - nothing exceptional or different but dependable. Can't complain that it wasn't yummy. Will probably come back if I'm craving a non-specific fish dish. SPECIFICS: Cons -Next time, I would skip the sushi here -understandably not their forte. -Farmed fish (to be fair, that's the case with most restaurants) Pros -Love the complimentary fish pretzels and edamame - goes really well together surprisingly! -Fish tacos were very tasty in a non-authentic, upscaled kind of way. OPINIONS: - A little on the pricey side for what it is. I would say you're paying more for the nice setting and the fancy blue water bottles.
(4)Bee I.
Not bad. I really wanted to try this place, I got the tacos (shrimp, steak, & fish), it was pretty good. Tried the California poke, which was so-so, but kinda salty. Also tried the calamaris which were also salty...I'm just not a fan of very salty food. Although, the food wasn't bad at all, it would be nice to tone down on the salt though.
(3)Tom K.
We went a second time and fully enjoyed it. One suggestion to the restaurant, don't serve a full bottle of water at the table. I asked for one glass of water and was given one glass with a full bottle of water. I had only one glass and I'm sure the rest was poured out. Wasteful in theses times of drought.
(4)Mark N.
Visited for Sunday dinner. Booked reservations through their website (via Open Table). Nice feature and recommended for dinner. It was buzzing. They're located in the Pruneyard, but at the very corner of the property, so a little walk if you park by the towers. We arrived early and asked if we could get an earlier time. Hostess was able to accommodate. Seating is casual and nice. Menu was extensive and the place had families to couples to larger parties. Water comes in blue bottles and poured into oversized shot glasses. Thought that was cool. The server was very nice and pleasant. We ordered the calamari, macadamia nut mahi mahi, and the roasted salmon salad. This is where the stars were deducted. Calamari: soggy, not crispy. Dip was nce and spicy, but can't get over the sogginess. Mahi mahi: came with mashed purple yam, however I think it would have been better with a rice pilaf or similar. It just felt like it was missing something. The salmon salad was just so-so. My gf actually had a hard time finishing it considering how hungry we both were. I think the calamari may have messed up our stomachs. After leaving, we ended up going to 7-Eleven to get some Ginger Ale to calm our stomachs. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things, but I'll probably not be coming back. There seems to be better options out there.
(2)Tim H.
Nice atmosphere. Practically everything we ordered was salty. The best thing we had was the sweet potato fries and pacific steak taco. Unfortunately, nothing else was very good. The poke was chewy, meaning the cuts were not high quality. Overall, prices were kinda high for the quality of food we got. Our party of 4 was disappointed with the food. Service was ok. We were expecting much better from the reviews. We won't be back anytime soon
(2)Laurie R.
Pacific Catch is a great restaurant for date night or family night. Ambiance is great, food quality and variety is wonderful. Definitely recommend reservations for dinner.
(5)Allyson M.
Their food is delicious. I always order the same thing...shrimp ceviche and a California roll. Delicious!! We were taken right to our table as soon as we arrived, due to our reservation. The service is always a little funky...either super overly attentive or you're waiting for your water glass to be refilled. But, the food makes up for the service. YUM!
(4)Jim R.
This is a unique place. It's like hip fish market. The one female bartender was extremely fast and on top of it. The food is fresh and good. It's on the expensive side. I love their unique combinations. Parking seems to often be a pain.
(5)Lisa G.
I have always had a great experience at Pacific Catch. They come up with very creative plates that I never would think of. The food is always fresh and unique. The atmosphere is a bit loud when it's busy. However it has proven to be a great place to bring clients or those interviewing for our company. The Island Tacos are a favorite of mine. The mahi-tacos are scrumptious. The mahi-mahi special with the homemade salsa and avocado is also very good. And my steadfast order is the vegi salad with grilled salmon on top. It's always a favorite stop for me when I'm in town.
(4)Erica S.
This is mainly a seafood restaurant, but they do have a bunch of rice bowls and sandwiches with chicken, ribs, or steak for the non-seafood eaters. Came here for a work Christmas lunch. For 24 people, we were able to sit in the covered patio area, which was perfect especially since we were doing a White Elephant gift exchange. It wasn't very warm though although it was covered. Sitting next to the plastic window, I kept feeling the cold breeze. For starters, we tried the Cabo Calamari and the Pacific Ceviche Trio. The calamari came with a spicy aioli sauce. The ceviche came with a Hawaiian poke, shrimp ceviche and a Peruvian ceviche. I've never been a fan of poke so I liked the other two. Came with different style chips to go with it too. Perfect for sharing when with big parties. For myself, I ordered a side salad which was very Asian looking as it was spring mix with shiitake mushrooms, edamame, cucumbers, tomatoes, kaiware (Japanese sprout) with a miso dressing, but it was pretty good that I ate it all. A pretty fulfilling side salad though. Then I had the daily special of grilled mahi mahi with broccolini and brown rice. I couldn't finish it all, but it was a good tasty healthy dish. For dessert, I had a bite of the Macadamia Nut Brownie. It was DELICIOUS! So if you have room for dessert, make sure you get this! Overall, good food and great service. My energetic colleagues spilled a glass of water and knocked over the container of soy sauce, but the servers were quick to help us clean up. Attentive with the drink refills too.
(4)Sue H.
Highly recommend the poke and the fish tacos. Great service too.
(4)Elizabeth B.
I decided I wanted something quick to eat after work one Saturday evening so I sat at the bar and ordered the Hawaiian poke Japanase wasabi bowl, one of their most popular dishes. The bartender was really friendly and attentive, and the food was prompt. The tuna was so delicious and fresh, and the avocado was such a nice touch. I really enjoyed this dish. Some of the food is a little pricey (it's located in the Pruneyard so it's semi fancy) but overall, I would say it's pretty worth it! The place was pretty busy, so that means it's a little noisy on a weekend night. Doesn't feel like an intimate place to come with a significant other, but more for an informal date or celebrating a friend's birthday.
(4)Richard S.
Good drinks, appetizers and main dish. Can't ask for more. Prices were moderate, not cheap but not expensive. Tonight was my wife and I first time here. I guess the test will be the next time we come back.
(4)Rick W.
I've dined at Pacific Catch in the Pruneyard Shopping Center many times and I must say that I've never been disappointed...The service is always excellent starting with my friend Cheradee and now with my current favorite server Maria...She is always so friendly and knows my favorites. The Shrimp Ceviche and Baja Tacos are fantastic but so are the desserts and French pressed coffee! Give Pacific Catch a try and ask for Maria's section and the lovely hostess KC will greet you with a big smile!
(5)Kev O.
Boy, I have loved this place since I first tried it about a year ago! I sure wish they were around when I used to work just down the road about 20 some years ago! Anyway, I'm about to leave for overseas and we decided why not come here for dinner? I'm so glad we came here tonight. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly hostess, but the place was packed and we were told there would be a wait of 10-15 minutes even though we had a reservation. Scouting around, we found some empty tables in the heated "outdoor" (covered) patio area, which we always enjoyed sitting at so we asked if those tables were available. Within a minute we were told it was and we were seated immediately. The food has been consistently good every time I've been here, and tonight was no exception. We usually like to just order a bunch of items and share them. Tonight we ordered the Pacific Ceviche Trio.....(yummy!), Sweet Potato Fries (Fresh, Hot, & Yummy!), and the Crab Dumplings to start off .....due to the Crab Fest promotion they have going on at the moment (deliciously yummy!). And before I forget to mention, they were all absolutely yummy....and a great way to start off. Then to stay healthy.....plus we knew were were going to get a bit full on appetizers, we shared a Sushi Grade Ahi Salad and a Traditional Baja fish Taco. The salad was good and the fish tacos not bad, but I think I prefer Una Mas's fish tacos a bit more. I think the amount of food was just right.....not too stuffed and did not leave hungry. The place was continuously crowded throughout the whole hour and a half we were dining there, so that pretty much tells you how popular this place is. And even with the crowd, our server was always friendly, helpful, and the food all came out pretty quickly....hot, fresh, and delish. I think with good weather, this outdoor patio will be a great place to hang out with friends for tapas style munching and a glass of wine (or beer). Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

I love pacific catch now! It keeps getting better and better! Ahi bowl is my favorite with wontons on the site for snacking! Complimentary cute pretzel fishes and edamame! Yum yum yum
(5)Anirvan D.
We go there every now and then for their ... - simply grilled fresh catch of the day (the kind of fish varies) - korean bowl (with ribs and skirt steak) - ceviches - dolce de leche dessert

MEHHHH. Honestly I don't understand why this place has 4 stars. 1 star for good and friendly service. 1 star for the crab & corn chowder (which was the only food I liked here) The thai coconut shrimp wasn't anything special. Fried oyster w/ fries were ok. The korean sticky ribs - yuck! I was basically forcing myself to eat what we ordered.

Great food that comes with great customer service! Will be coming back!

For a strip mall restaurant, PC is pretty nice in side. I like the SF locales and figured it was time to check this one out. Fairly sleek, high ceilings, dimly lit. We were seated in the middle of the large room. At the bar they have some TVs so Icould catch some of the sports happening that day. After looking at all the choices we had: Pacific Ceviche Trio - - Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke & Peruvian ceviche Fish & Chips Grilled Mahi Mahi Everything was tasty. They give you a lot of food here too. I can be a pretty big eater with my friend and we both took home food. Service was friendly, though maybe a bit anxious. They have a good set of bar drinks and surprisingly they carry Mighty Leaf ea and Equator Coffee (they serve this at French Laundry). If you like seafood done with Asian touches, Pacific Catch is a satisfying pick

Went with some friends for dinner couple weeks back. It wasn't eventful or loud so that was nice and our server was responsive and gave great recommendations on food. not bad for seafood and fair prices! Parking can be hard to find at times, so come early because you will be gyrating the parking lot.

Good food, great costumer service and lovely atmosphere!
(5)Amy O.
Nice. So good. I had the Hawiian Poke bowl as a suggestion from my co-worker and dining companion. It was the perfect balance of rice, fish, avocado, and other nutritious toppings. The vibe of this place is pretty chill and service is good. Lunch at The Pruneyard is difficult to find parking. Super frustrating. But, if you snag a spot, this is definitely the best choice for a lighter meal in the Pruneyard. A lot of the drinks looked soooo good as well as the other food on the menu. Since my lunch was awesome, I assume other things on the menu are as well.

I was craving for a good calamari & unfortunately didn't have my phone with me to yelp restaurants. It was a monday afternoon, i believe we were the first one there, maybe 4ish. We decided to have a takeout order, my son got the kids fish &chips & I got their Cabo Calamari, eagerly awaiting to see and taste their calamari , I opened & tried in the parking lot and all goes downhill. Portion size, i've never ordered a calamari that they have to mix on some yellow squash tempura, some wontons, and a peppers , what??? To add volume?? Sooo not worth for the price maybe whay 20 small rings and 3/4 heads? Taste wise naaah?! Very greassssyyyy! Eeeww! Can't wait to see starbucks to get a hot tea! My son's fish n chips is also blah, taste like the one u can buy at the park, less than ordinary- over All rate??? This place is Forgettable!!!
(1)tony f.
Love the Hawaiian poke, goood beer prices, sweet potato fries, and good modern atmosphere. Always seat you quickly and food don't take too long to come out. Good place to take your girl out for a date. Price for plate is about $14 - $18
(4)Pat T.
Food and service was ok....
(3)Marlene M.
The service was very good. Came for company luncheon and sat on porch area. The food was very good and all enjoyed their meal. Will come again.
(5)Susan L.
I just don't understand how people love this place. Been here twice so far. The first time I didn't enjoy anything that my boyfriend and I ordered, the second time to see if our opinions were wrong. I don't want to spend my morning ranting so I'll keep this simple. For someone that has tried some pretty damn good Asian places in the bay area...this place wouldn't be worth it. I kept finding myself with certain expectations and comparing it with other restaurants that serve the same thing (but better) in my head. I feel as if the dishes here are more geared more for an American taste. If that makes any sense. Haha. As for service...hostesses are really sweet. Waiters/waitresses can keep their snotty attitudes at home. I get you don't want to serve us or not in the mood to be working on a Saturday night, but your idgaf attitude means i get into my idgaf attitude and leave you tipless.
(2)Mary N.
The poke here was not fresh when I came in on Saturday afternoon. I was so sad because I ordered everyone's rec of the poke trio and the poke bowl with half salad and half rice and couldn't even finish it! I usually have great experiences with poke, but this PC's catch gave me a stomachache :(
(2)Chucko O.
It was very crowded so I had high expectations. The menu was not what I expected. I expected a fresh seafood and crusty french bread kind of place, but it was not that. The menu is kind of like a hawaiian-mexican fusion thing. They have poke, sandwiches, tacos, and salads. The prices seemed kind of high for what I considered a bar menu. We ordered the poke sampler and it was just OK. It was room temp and a tad bland. I ordered fish tacos as my entree and they were also just OK. Store bought tortillas and average meat. No salsa. I had a side of black beans that came in a ramekin. Very small portions. I don't understand why everyone seems to love this place. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.
(2)Hao Y.
Ordered that daily special shrimp. It's way too salty, beyond anyone can tolerate. After I expressed the frustration, it was removed from my bill. Other things were fine.
(3)Danny Z.
The appetizer poke was really tasty and I thought it was setting us up for a fantastic meal, but I left there kind of underwhelmed. The fish of the day was Hawaiian and, while it was light (tried the fish and chips and fish tacos), it kind of lacked flavor. Smaller things, like their teas and fried oysters, were enjoyable. The place itself is cool with a nice outside patio. I thought the price of fish tacos and fish and chips was a little high for the quality of the meal - especially considering it comes with standard french fries or sweet potato fries. Maybe it deserves another visit cause yelp really seems to like this place.
(3)Katherine L.
Love their teryaki salmon bowl (just wish they had parking and delivered!)
(5)Astrid N.
First time here and not too impressed. The fish and chips were mediocre, not crispy and tasty enough. The fish tacos were kind of bland too.
(1)Maria P.
I have mixed feelings about this place after our last visit there. The food is no doubt excellent, very fresh and delicious. The selection of fresh ahi tuna and other items is amazing. However, they did not seem well prepared for the Saturday night rush. Wait for a table was around half an hour, which is okay, only we spent 15 min out of 30 waiting for a bartender to take our drinks at the bar. She seemed to be missing. Eventually a manager came out and gave us complimentary drinks. After being seated, it took awhile for the waitress to appear. We were about to go look for same manager again. After she brought us our food, she realized she did not write one of the dishes we've ordered down at all, and we had to wait for that to come out (ahi tuna rice bowl). It also took 5 repetitive requests to the waitress to get them to turn the heater on above our table (we were seating outside). Then more waiting for the check. All in all, I'd give it another shot since the food was so really really good, but may be try a different location.

Went by here today for a late lunch. Boy, are we glad that we did. It was one of the best dining experiences we have had lately. First of all the atmosphere is so new and fresh. We recently had a bad experience at The Fish Market and there is no comparison. The menu was fresh, original and creative Since it was opening of Crab season, we ordered a Crab Louis salad. It was huge and very good. The dressing was obviously homemade and was subtle enough to let the crab shine. And, it was huge even for the two of us. We also shared a Mahi Mahi dish with tomato confit on top. Also served with perfectly cooked broccolini. We asked for no rice, so we doubled the veggie. Glad we did. Delicious, delicious and the confit was awesome. The fish was at least 6-8 ounces, so we easily shared it and didn't feel shorted. Food was served on interesting plates and beautifully layout out with style and color, which made it more appealing. Service was attentive and professional. And, we thought the prices were more than fair with lunch prices. The Mahi was $16, which is amazing considering the quality and service size portion. Had a chance to talk with one of the owners today. Asked him how it was possible that there were some recently really bad reviews on YELP. He didn't really have an explanation but I told him I was so impressed, I would try to offset it telling others about my experience today. Can't guarantee you will have the same experience, but we are definitely going back.
(5)Emanuel M.
This place is amazing! Great customer service and delicious food. My girlfriend got the fish and chip and I got the Japanese wasabi bowl with salmon. Both were great! 30 minute wait. (Also recommend the lost coast beer)
(5)Peter D.
Pacific Catch has some of the best sushi around and their fish tacos are delicious. Its a great place to meet people for a drink and grab some great food that is not very expensive. The outdoor patio seating is best as it gets a bit noisy inside.
(5)Kyle O.
I've been coming here for a while, and now it's become my favorite restaurant. Great sushi rolls, fresh seafood, and some good tacos as well. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful service.
(5)Shanna K.
Am now a total regular here. We always sit at the bar and the service is great. The Kiwi Flash is my favorite cocktail, hands down, but I also love the Spicy Pacific Martini. Boyfriend loves the Dark & Stormy. Tell the guys what you like and don't and they'll make some suggestions. They're great people and they make great cocktails. Wines are nice as well and they have an excellent Happy Hour. We've now tried many dishes.. I still love the steak tacos and the ecstasy roll but now I can add the Peruvian ceviche to that (it is really outstanding... and my second favorite is the Baja shrimp ceviche), any of the rotating fresh fish options, the Shiso Fine and Rising Sun rolls and any of the soup of the day. We most recently had the crab and corn chowder and and it was great... a perfect sized portion with a nice amount of spice, chunky veggies, lovely crab and a drizzle of cilantro oil. Really, really good. In addition, their side salad is one of the best I've ever had... the miso-based (I'm assuming) dressing is delicious.. I love the edamame and radish sprouts... and it's big enough for two to share if you're trying a bunch of entrees. We have not tried the sandwiches or the main course salads but I'm sure we'll get there at some point. So far I have not had a bad dish yet and we literally go in at least once a week. Delish.
(4)Melody T.
Clean, comfortable setting probably best suited for lunch or a casual dinner. The pricing is fair, food was fresh and our server was a pro! We'll definitely be back
(4)Anh T.
I found this place on yelp looking for a $$ dinner restaurant. Therefore was not expecting much. But i was blown away by how fancy it looked! Food was a seafood asian-fusion type thing, which I always love. For $60, my friend and I got a good amount of food-- I even had some leftovers! We got: ceviche, Hawaiian poke, tuna trio ($17) for appetizer; entrees were the specials of the day salmon ($21) and white sea bass ($19). See photos. Both were amazingly goooooood. Definitely bookmarked this place for a return visit. Also a dog-friendly place, which made my fluffy friend and me extra happy. :)
(5)Rebecca T.
Everyone was very friendly we had our bicycles outside and asked to be seated in an area so we can watch them and the host chose a perfect table for us. The food was great! I had the salmon tacos and my boyfriend had the Japanese wasabi rice bowl, both delicious! Enjoyed the ambience and the food was not too expensive.
(4)O M.
Standard. The restaurant decor is confusing even though it's "nice." The menu offers sandwiches and rice bowls which is a bit turn off for the type of restaurant they are trying to convey. Prices are fair since their ingredients are good but when you think of Rice bowl you think of $7 not $15+ Sushi here and then some fried battered stuff there and expensive tasteless salads $18. The menu needs to be redesigned ASAP! Service is fine. This being one of the few fish places around will probably to be busy but it won't be long. Price point is fine but it needs to be plated and designed with better Nutrition IMO. It's like getting a seafood yoshinoya for $20 -- messy. I tried several things and also ordered fish on its own as a side order. Cooked well, but seasoning needs adjusting. Most ppl think heavy seasoning Is necessary for seafood but it only brings saltiness, sweetness and heavy cover up. Sad... Overall solid. Beware of the sauces and heavy "seasoning" and coverings

3.5 stars I have been keeping an eye on the construction progress of Pacific Catch over the past few months. Finally, the restaurant opened and I got to try it over the weekend. Upon entering the restaurant, I was quite surprised by the decor and atmosphere of the place. It is something you might see in a large city Downtown or Santana Row. The restaurant looks great and I really like the vibe of the place. The menu sounds great and I was salivating over the menu. My friend and I decided upon a 3 taco platter with the spiced fries, baja fish taco, the shrimp taco and the steak taco. We also shared the Vietnamese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. For lunch, the entrees are quite overpriced for a sandwich ($12) and 3 tacos ($14). Overall, the food was not bad but we were expecting great flavor and quality. The place has been open only a few weeks and I'm sure I will go back after the food gets a bit better. The steak in the sandwich was quite chewy and I had to spit out a few pieces of it here and there. The pickled vegetables lacked the flavor I was expecting. Sweet potato fries were ok as they were mushy and not crispy. The spiced fries were crispy and were fine. The tacos were probably the best part of lunch as they full of flavor and good marinated meats. The staff was very nice and answered all of our questions. I can see this place becoming a super hotspot for the Pruneyard and hopefully bring in more restaurants like this to the area. But for now, I think they need to work on the food just a tad bit.
(3)Dee K.
Kona pilsner on draft was excellent. We didn't like the korean sticky ribs as they lacked any distinctive korean flavoring. The overbearing flavor may have been five-spice. We also ordered the poke trio which was served with won ton chips and was pretty good. The kids had rice bowls and ate them without complaints, a silent sign of approval. The highlight of the meal was the 3 island taco platter - traditional Baja, cabo shrimp and pacific steak. All were fresh, moist and went really well with the Kona.
(3)Sura S.
Picked up Hawaiian Teriyaki Bowl w brown rice and salmon. Can't wait to have dinner. Always selfish.
(5)Isabella S.
This place is horrible! We ordered mahi (grilled, i suppose) which came with the eggplant, some ginger and 2 FRIED fish pieces as well. Nowhere on the menu it said the fried fish pieces were coming as well! If you charge $23 for that dish, make sure you know how to season and cook that mahi!! The kids' meal was served on a plate covered with some newspaper-like paper. REALLY? It looked disgusting! Where in the world did you learn to serve food on a newspaper? The broccoli was not cooked either or seasoned. Overall, i do not think this place deserves to be open or even in any type of business. Never -ever will i recommend it to anyone we know. Actually, i will tell people NOT to go and waste their time and money there. HORRIBLE!! Plus, the waitress was the most annoying person and had no business working there or anywhere else. Bad service, horrible food and overall a bad place.
(1)Casey L.
It was my first time eating here. My girlfriend insisted on eating here and it turned out to be great! We ordered the Poke Fest Tro, Pork Sanwich, and my favorite the Ecstasy Sushi Roll. Not only was the food good the service was excellent! Our server was very polite and made sure everything was going right. If I could remember correctly I think our servers name was Oana. I really recommend this place!
(5)Katrina T.
No matter what location, Pacific Catch will be 5 stars for meeeee! It is one of my favorite restaurants and I am so glad I no longer have to travel all the way to SF to eat there now that this location recently opened up! Came here this past week with a bunch of my cousins. This place is as crowded as Yard House (the new IT place) but better. WHY? They take reservations!!! My cousin reserved us a table so we didn't have to wait. Although we did wait because we came really early, but we were seated on time. The layout is different than the one in SF, but the environment is pretty much the same. Anyway, we were seated at a really good spot. Had lots of room for the 8 of us. I loved my Grilled Salmon Salad. My cousins got their bowls. The Korean Bowl was SUPER DELISH. The portions are decent sized. Really fresh like the SF location. READ MY SF REVIEW for this place since its pretty much the same...except wow our waitress seemed REALLY clueless. Basically my cousin ordered the Korean bowl and asked if there was kim chee in the dish. Instead of telling us she didn't know what kim chee was, our waitress says "OH UHM Yeah there is. It is like cooked with onions in the bowl..." Definitely didn't see ANY onions in that bowl and you don't cook kim chee with that.... ALSO she forgot to bring my other cousin her guava drink and her soup.... I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that it was her first day or something, but c'mon man! get it right. Anyways this place is good good good for groups! Coming back here soon :)
(5)Flor D.
My server was pushy. He didn't understand the concept of "I am waiting for someone at the bar and no I don't want a drink right now." Nonetheless, I LOVE PACIFIC CATCH. I have scanned the menu, weighed my options, but truly only order the POKE. Obviously, we aren't in Hawaii folks, but this does the trick. Salad is fresh, lots of tuna, and huge. For $13 bucks, this is a legit dinner or hearty lunch. I love Pacific Catch and yes I request it on valentine's day. That's what's up.
(4)Pat H.
This place is excellent. Fast friendly service. The calamari, ecstasy roll, and fish tacos are fantastic. Salmon specials are great. Spicy vodka drink was very good. Macadamia brownie Sunday and leche spring rolls were also tasty! Highly recommend this place!
(5)Ulani L.
I've been here a few times. Atmosphere is impressive while still being casual and comfortable. The drink menu is extensive and they have a great selection of wine and beer. The food is pretty solid. I've gotten the fish tacos and salads here. Felt fresh with a so cal seafood vibe. Would recommend for date night or girls night. Cons are parking in the Pruneyard and tepid water they have in glass bottles.
(4)Bao N.
My husband and I are regulars at this place- me for the margarita and he for the Spicy Pacific Catch drink! We also like the food, especially the shrimp ceviche and coconut shrimp. For the most part, the servers are nice (every once in a while, we'll get a grumpy one) and make sure to take part of their Happy Hour (it's a really great deal on drinks and rolls!). We always make sure to have a reservation when we bring the kids.
(4)Kate L.
I like this place. It has a great vibe. Since I'm not a seafood or fish eater I make the most when I go with a group of friends who want to dive into some prawns or bass. I LOVE that I have variety in the menu at Pacific Catch. I've had fun trying various cocktails from their menu. We prefer to sit in the lounge as it is always entertaining and not as noisy. I've recommended this place to a few people. Although parking at the Pruneyard is challenging at dinner time, it's worth it.
(5)Bart T.
The service was great. We never had to ask the waitress for a refill on my drink, and she checked in the perfect amount to see how we were doing. I have been here twice and each time food has been fantastic! I had the Korean sticky ribs which are always fall off the bone, and the teriyaki rice bowl with skirt steak and salmon. Can't wait to go back again.
(5)John T.
I went to Pacific Catch with a coworker tonight for dinner. We walked in and it was not very busy because it was around 5:00 pm, we were sat quickly to our table. After about 10 minutes of sitting there and waiting for a server while watching the table next to use get their drinks even though they arrived after we did, I finally got up and saw the manager and asked for a server, the manager did not act very concerned but at least he was able to get us a server. The server was very good but that was the only thing good about this experience, which is disappointing because the first time I came here I enjoyed it but now after this I wont be back again. I would rather spend my money at a restaurant that will give me customer service. Ordered a bloody mary, it was their specialty bloody mary but you might as well of called it horse radish mixed with water because that is all I could taste. The fish and chips I ordered were average, a little bland. Fries were decent but can you really mess up fries? Saw the manager walk by and I called him over just to ask him a question, I asked what kind of background music system they used. He was a complete jerk and kind of acted like I was an idiot of asking that question. I work for a company that sells a music service so whenever I go eat at a restaurant I always ask this question so I can figure out the market and do research on the product that they are using. My suggestion is to have better management!! If they are hiring I have managed restaurants before and I am sure they could use my consulting.
(2)Ardeshir V.
Awesome food from any part of the menu. Have tried many of the items on the menu never been dissatisfied by any of them. The service is usually pretty good and wait times are not that long
(5)Matthew L.
Came here with my dog right after getting his haircut from a block down the street. The host was very accommodating and welcoming when I arrived with my friend and my dog. I was going to tie my dog outside to the fence by their outside eating area but the host said I could bring him to our table outside. When the host returned he brought us waters and a bowl of water for my dog. I was blown away with the service I received, I went in thinking I would have to leave my dog tied to the fence. My friend and I ordered the Hawaiian poke and I ordered the Korean BBQ with salmon. Both dishes was amazing, quality and portions were perfect. This was my first time dining at PC and would certainly return soon based on the excellent service and their quality of food.
(5)Mel B.
Pacific Catch is my New fav. Place to eat out! Super pleased w. my entire meal....from service to food selection to decor. As a healthy eater, I enjoyed the variety of selections of traditional to fusion. Food quality was top grade and now I know why this place Always has a huge wait on weekends! The staff was great and even learned a bit about the founders from the hostess. Opening another location??? **Recently been going here every Sunday night for my eat up meal while on prep. Diet for a fitness competition..they have been very accommodating to my dietary needs. Thanks guys! :)
(5)Mary B.
The place has a great atmosphere and deco. The service was good as it was a pretty busy night. We ordered shrimp ceviche for an appetizer which is always a favorite. It had a lot of zing and was very tasty but I thought the portion was small. There fish was a bit overcooked on one of our meals but thought the other meals were all great.
(4)Johnny M.
Well Daaaaang... This was a special surprise. I came here to meet up and catch up with an old friend. Her being a heavy Yelper as well, suggested we come here to eat the Hawaian Poke. Dood.. OMG... She was not kidding around. The Hawaiian poke was something awesome! I have had Hawaiian poke at many sushi restaurants and never did I think I would find such good Poke at a more commercialized restaurant. In any case, it's a must try! My friend ordered the poke salad for dinner and I ordered the special of the day which was the BBQ scallops. It came out smelling delicious and well, it tasted the same... Delicious! I do feel the scallops could have been cooked just a little longer, but it did not keep me from enjoying this meal what so ever. The service was great and the price was average. It's a great family restaurant and a great place to satisfy that sea food craving. The best thing about it is that it is close. We don't have too many sea food restaurants in the South Bay, but Pacific catch is centrally located in Campbell. I enjoyed this restaurant immensely and will be back.

One of my wife's favorites. Seems like we go here just about every birthday for her. Enjoy!

First thought was another run in the mill seafood restaurant, but as we came in it was quite crowded so didnt.know what to expect. Put our name down wait time given was 30 minute. Surprised we were seated in 15 minutes. Place was nice not overly cluttered with decor. Looked at the menu lots of Hawaiian asain fusion choices. I had the ahi poke tuna salad and a friend had the teriyaki steak rice bowl. We waited 20 minutes for our food longer than would like. But good thing we were clise to the tv near the bar we were occupied watching the lakers game. Overall I enjoyed my salad very little sugar and was surprised it works for my paleo diet. Good amount of fressh fish not overpowering with soy or sesame oil ive tried. Greens was fresh and crispy. Overal worth it for a nice refreshing dinner. My friend enjoyed his teriyaki rice bowl. Good flavor but one draw back of steak was very skimpy on portion. Then again come to a seafood house to get steak is probably not the best of choice. So even though we waited and did not mind, Wana our server was very friendly and took care of us. She even gave us a free dessert for their delay in service. So in my book I`ll be back to try other selections.
(5)Ngoc L.
This place is definitely not a 4-stars restaurant in my book. I came here for dinner on Friday night and I was pretty excited to finally try this place since it's been in my bookmarks for at least a year. We had no reservations so waited for 45 minutes until we were seated. We ended up ordering: Mixed basket: I picked this so we could be able to try a variety of their appetizers. Everything tasted fine..but I don't see what's the big hype over their sweet potatoes fries because I've definitely had better at a local milk tea shop. Ecstasy Roll: I love sushi so I tend to order sushi wherever I go that offers it..but it was definitely a mistake at this place. This roll was just boring..I had a piece and that was about it. Saucy roll: It was a deep fried roll which came out soggy. Probably due to all the sauce that was splattered on it. Way too sweet..even the sushi at buffet places tasted better. Cioppino: This was on their special menu and so we decided to try it. This was probably the best thing we ordered. It was good and he enjoyed it alot. The sauce was good..but I just wish there was more bread so we can dip it in. He has a big appetite so 2 piece of bread will not fill him up...it wouldn't even fill me up and I really don't eat that much. Fried Spring rolls w vanilla bean ice cream: The food was pretty bad so I barely ate which allowed me to order dessert. This was actually pretty good...I would enjoy it more if it was less sweet. Overall, I would probably give this place a 2.5 stars max. I wouldn't even bother rounding it up to 3 because service wasn't really that great for me. Maybe I came on a off day..but we pretty much had to get our waitress attention and when I asked for a dessert menu..she didn't come back til at least 7 minutes later to give it to me since she was too busy going around checking on other tables...And not ours. I came here on a special occasion..but left feeling grumpy because I feel like the "special event" was ruined. This place is not worth another trip.

I'm nowhere close to going pescatarian, but I am trying to eat more healthful proteins, like fish. The problem is, even though I love to cook I never feel like making fish. Pacific Catch to the rescue! I've been here a handful of times now, and the food has always been consistently good, even though service can be hit or miss. You can't go wrong with the crispy fish or crispy shrimp tacos--expect battered and fried fish or shrimp served in soft corn tortillas with avocado or chipotle sauces. On Cinco de Mayo the special deal was $5.55 for one taco and a Pacifico beer, but the regular price for a single taco and chips is about $5, or you can get three tacos for $12, which come with a side of fries. I love Hawaiian poke, but I never had a local place to get poke-ed until Pacific Catch popped up at the PruneYard. PC does raw fish quite well. I like the poke salad (subbed for the seared ahi), but the ceviches have been really good. On occasion they're a little too acidic--so be prepared for some pucker. So, as you can probably tell by now, Pacific Catch prepares seafood in the style of three culinary regions that share the Pacific Ocean: Latin America, Asia, and Polynesia. It makes for quite a delicious multi-culti dining experience when you can start with ceviche and a California roll, snack on a fish taco, and then finish up with a pineapple cake.
(4)Natalie L.
The day I went the service was below average. The server took a very long time to acknowledge us and when she finally came by she wasn't the most friendly or attentive server. Otherwise, I really liked that they had an exclusive GLUTEN-FREE MENU and the options were plentiful. The ceviche was really good but my main dish was kind of blah. I will keep into account that it was Gluten Free so they were light on the sauces, etc. I'm not dying to go back but if someone asked me to go, I would give them another chance. #gluten-free
(3)Joey V.
I love this place for a special family dinner or to entertain guests from out if town. Best fish joint around at a great price. The poke salad is to die for. Full bar compliments the food options. I crave this place more than I find the time to visit.
(5)Katie R.
I came in on a busy Friday. I decided to make a reservation and I was seated as soon as I gave them my name. Gabriel was my server and he was extremely friendly and welcoming. He made great recommendations on poke and some other food. Even though they were busy they did a great job of taking care of my table. This is the second Pacific Catch I have been too and they are very consistent between the restaurants.
(5)Angelic L.
Pacific Catch wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I thought this place was going to be really good after seeing all the raving reviews, but I didn't seem to catch what was so special about it. While the food wasn't bad, it was on the salty side sparking my thirst to kick in, but the water cups were so small, and the servers didn't refill our water very often at all. I came a while back when Dungeness Crab season had just started, so I was able to sample the Crab Dumplings from the Crab Feast menu. Four dumplings for $9... Talk about overpriced! They tasted like standard Asian-styled dumplings that you could get anywhere. The Calamari was good as was the Grilled Salmon Salad with the yummy dressing, mushrooms, and salmon skin. The Sushi Grade Ahi Salad wasn't bad, but I preferred the dressing from the Grilled Salmon Salad instead. The Mixed Catch Basket was pretty much your standard fare of fried seafood, none of which I cared for. I also did not enjoy the Mahi Mahi Tacos, and the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich was simply ok. The only sushi roll I was able to try was the Firecracker Salmon Roll subbed with raw salmon, and I actually thought it was pretty good especially with that yummy aioli. If I ever come back, I'll probably stick to the sushi rolls and sub raw fish. Overall, I don't think there's much to love about Pacific Catch although I do love how they start you off with some cold edamame and goldfish pretzels!

This place is always fresh and delicious.

Super convenient location, food is consistently good, service is pretty ok, but nothing really stands out to me. It's tasty basic food, a little on the expensive side. The bar is really nice.

Meh, I was underwhelmed by this restaurant. It has a very nice ambiance but the food is not up to par. We got the hawaiian poke to start with and it was mediocre. Rarely do I find poke that is not doused with all types of sauces, covering the flavor of the fish, bleh. I got the ahi tuna sandwich, which I didn't enjoy. I brought home most of it and didn't even finish it at home. The ginger in it was totally overwhelming and did not enhance the flavor of the sandwich. My boyfriend got the fish & chips and it was average. I mean, it's fried fish and french fries...can't mess that up too bad. Our server was very sweet but obviously not experienced. She borderlined on being annoying by coming to the table way too many times. It started becoming awkward with her coming by every 5 minutes. Overall, it was a disappointing meal and I do not see myself coming here again.

Loved their food a while back. Today, we came with our kid, and I guess that scared the servers because we stayed for 15 minutes and our server never came to our table. A busser was nice enough to give us edamame. We left because the server served two new tables while we sat and waited. They got water AND got to order. We got nothing. Go if you're a couple. Don't go with your kid. You get ignored. Sad bc we loved their food, hence the two stars.
(2)Philip M.
Place is okay. Flavor doesn't match, service was marginal at best, food wasnt great. Got the swordfish and it was horrible.
(2)Lyn C.
I had only been to the PC in SF but this one is bigger and closer. Yeay! The service was great and there was lots of seating for a Friday evening, but it is nice to know that they take reservations as well. Lots of food choices, but we kept it simple this meal. Peruvian ceviche- too much "kick" for my taste Mixed catch basket- exactly what I was craving and hit the spot for fried seafood. I liked the fish pieces the best. Poke bowl in a roll- fun to say, and to eat! I don't usually eat that much rice so I'd prob just go for the poke bowl without the roll next time I like the ambiance here. Nice yet not too fancy.

First time diner.....will return often. Had the Thai Curry with grilled Mahi Mahi, and wife had Korean bowl with shrimp...fantastic....large protions.....and Bridget, our server, she's a rock star, petite, cute, vivacious, extremely welcoming and efficient...will request her on our next visit. Great place, employees very friendly and accomodating.
(5)Ryan G.
Great service and delicious Asian-fusion dishes. I tried the Thai Curry rice bowl with the mahi-mahi . The server suggested a half salad which was served in the bowl with the entrée. Although the salad was delicious, I'll opt for all rice next time as the warm rice and toppings made the salad warm, as well. Also had the Prickly Pear Margarita, which was delicious in taste and appearance. At $9.50, it was a little small for the price. I'll try a less expensive mixed drink next time. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive and had great recommendations. When I realized my party was larger than originally planned, the staff had no problems adding another table and place setting for us. Everyone was pleasant and happy to help.
(4)Lily N.
I saw all the reviews and was expecting really good food. Disappointed. We ordered the poke which was good, calamari was good too, and the crab ragoon. The entrees were so bland!!! The sushi rolls were worse! Do not get their brownie sundae. I make better brownies and my brownie mix is from Costco.
(2)Samantha B.
I love this place. Two times here so far and I think it is yummy & I'd come back.. I ordered the same thing again - which was the Curry Bowl with fish as a protein. They give you the option of having half veggies & half rice, but I got all veggies. The portion was HUGE.....for $13ish I think but I think its worth it. It is a qwirky cute little restaurant so that's why I like coming here.
(5)Jenni S.
Every time my boyfriend and I come here, I notice that the service get slower and worse than our previous visit. Last night may have been our last visit (which is unfortunate because the food is very delicious). We walked in, and were seated immediately (awesome). We then proceeded to sit at our booth in the nearly empty restaurant for about 10 minutes without being greeted or anything, even though people seated after us were already getting their beverages (not awesome). There were two servers standing by the computer near us, just chatting it up. When the thinner guy walked away to help his customers, the other one decided it was time to do his job as well. And guess what? That one, Gabriel, just so happened to be our server. We already weren't happy with him, seeing as chatting with his coworker was more important than helping his customers, but we tried being friendly. We ordered drinks, the appetizer, and our food all at once, because who would know how often he would come to our table. Our drinks took FOREVER to get to us. The food took awhile too, but I know that could be the cooks' fault. We got our food, ate it, and wasn't checked up on by Gabriel even ONCE. It's like, dude, you're working for tips, you literally have about 3 tables of people in your section, make an effort! If you have the time to stand around with the guy with the chinstrap facial hair multiple times, you have the time to check up on your tables. We waited quite a while after we ate, and we didn't receive our check, so my boyfriend had to ask another server for our check. That server then told Gabriel, then when Gabriel brought us our check, all of a sudden he decided to give us the time of day and be friendly, probably because he wanted a decent tip for doing the absolute minimum, mediocre service job, ever (he got a tip that reflected his service, usually my boyfriend and I are big tippers). Please, Pacific Catch, hire servers that know customer service and are quick! So far, I'm not convinced that any of your staff are good at the job!
(2)Joe P.
This is a quality, reasonably priced restaurant. I have only been here twice... With 3 others both times... Out of all 8 meals, I have yet to hear a complaint. Drinks are expertly crafted, as well- that is refreshing. I order the steak and chicken tacos... I don't really know how to explain them- other than they are some of the best I've had (and I eat a LOT of tacos!).
(5)Debbie R.
We did a take out . My shrimp were really small , not allot of taste . Outbacks are better . My husband ordered the fish and chips , they asked do you want the spicey sweet potato fries or regular and he said well regular not knowing how spicey they might be ..... well he got regular fries ! No sweet potato . My freind got the sticky ribs , I could see she was not that thrilled but she did say she got allot of food . So all in all I would not hurry back , oh and when I went to eat in a year ago I loved the sesame cold slaw but this time it did not have much taste .
(2)Phillip P.
I was already sold by the complimentary sparkling water, and the edamame and goldfish starting treat. This place has a great ambiance and servers are respectful and well attentive. Hawaiian Poke Rice bowl with crab salad with brown rice and veggies - A+. delicious. very light tasting, and tastes very healthy yet flavorfull. Highly recommended. they give you a huge portion with every bowl that's enough for me to eat, be full, and take home some. Korean BBQ Rice bowl with brown rice and veggies - A+ - the korean bbq was cooked very well and tasted better than most korean restaurants in my opinion. Very reasonably priced too!
(5)Amber D.
Love having this place nearby! I was skeptical at first because it's a chain, and Pruneyard chain restaurants are usually a bummer. But this place has a great relaxed feel, comfortable bar, yummy drinks, and I'm loving their menu! I've never actually sat in the dining room (the wait can be pretty terrible, I've seen), but the bar area is perfect for friends or a couple for dinner, apps, or even just drinks. Walk right in, snag a seat at the bar, a table, or booth, and you're good to go. Great cocktail selection, TV viewing from anywhere in the bar, variety of beers on tap, and they even give you little complimentary bar snacks to nibble on! (Who does that anymore?! Love it.) The menu has an awesome selection for a group, or just the indecisive mind. Fish tacos, sushi, rice bowls, burgers, grilled fish. I always see something I want, and am pleased with whatever I get. Staff is super accommodating too. Nice addition to the Pruneyard overall! Thanks, Pacific Catch.
(5)Run for L.
Nice place. A bit loud, but all in all it's popular. Fish Tacos- amazing. Ahi Tuna Bowl Exceptional. Ask to sit by the fireplace, best seat in the house. Good wine selection, order the Malbec. : ) Oh yes, good beer, They have BLACK!
(4)Carisue B.
Excellent shrimp tacos and the sweet potato fries are addicting! This place is perfect for someone who likes seafood..........the drinks are great, too. It was loud in restaurant, but only because of a big party having a terrific time together. Definitely consider making reservations when you go as it fills up quickly!
(5)Lorena F.
If I could give this establishment a negative star I would. I saw the yelp reviews and decided to stop in just now to have dinner with my 4 year old daughter. We walk in and wait to be seated. As we are standing there for a few minutes I notice two other ladies walk in. The door doesn't even have a chance to shut behind them before the general manager Jerry (not sure about spelling) walks up, greets them and seats them. He doesn't even come back to see if we have been helped. I'm not big about racism and I always give people the benefit of the doubt , however I felt discriminated against and utterly embarrassed. I'm 100% positive had I not had my daughter and/or had a different skin tone I would have been treated differently. I did take the time to ask to speak to Jerry before I left and told him how I felt. I didn't raise my voice or cause a scene but he sure escorted me outside to speak to him as to not allow others to overhear us. I'm so disgusted. Never ever in my life have I been treated so poorly! Shame on you Pacific Catch.
(1)Jennifer G.
Just ate here and was really pleased with the experience. Have been driving past the (new) Campbell location for 18 months now, and finally decided to give it a try (it is Good Friday, after all). Walked in on a Friday afternoon and was seated right away. The inside of the restaurant has a nice modern-yet-warm, Bradley Odgen-eque look to it, with a spacious bar in the back and an open kitchen to the left. We opted to sit in the enclosed patio, with was very comfortable - complete with a lovely wall fountain at one end. There is also an all-outside patio, but it does face a parking lot - although you can't ding the restaurant for this tiny location defect. The menu obviously has Hawaiian roots - meaning lots of fish with the unique flavors of the Islands including sesame-soy sauces, ginger, kicks of chili and fresh herbs. The website says the Paia Fish Market in Maui was its inspiration, and that shows. We're fans of Hawaii and its local food, so finding Pacific Catch is a treat. We ordered two sparkling lemonades - which were delightfully refreshing thanks to a recipe that goes easy on the sugar. More tart than sweet. Lovely. We split the Poke trio, opting for the traditional ahi version, the salmon Lomi-Lomi and the unusual spicy calamari - all were fresh, well-seasoned and bright - with proportions for either a shared starter or as a single entree. We then shared the seared ahi salad with a peanut-sesame - soy dressing. The greens were fresh, the fish was cooked well. There was a great balance of ginger, daikon radish and avocado. Lovely and again - perfectly sized for sharing or as a stand-alone lunch. Looking around I saw people enjoying sizable portions of ceviche, fish tacos and spare ribs. The table next to us actually said theirs was the best fish taco they had ever eaten. Both our host and server were courteous, attentive and friendly - and even though we are familiar with this type of food, each took the time to make sure we knew what we were ordering. Our waitress even advised against one dish in favor of another - which I always appreciate. They should know - they eat and serve the food day in and day out, right...? All said a really nice, comfortable, more upscale-than-I-imagined-it-would-be lunch. We're excited to finally have visited, and will most definitely return. Thanks for a lovely lunch and a quick (plane-less) trip back to Maui!
(4)Michelle S.
Our first visit to Pacific Catch will not be our last! We started with the Pacific Catch Poke Trio. We got the Original, California Style and Lomi Lomi and loved them all. It was the first time we'd tried Poke and glad we got it here. It was fantastic and can't wait to have it again. For dinner, we got a special of fresh fish that was incredible and a teriyaki bowl with Mahi Mahi. I was a bit disappointed at the bowl so I wouldn't get it again. I was given a giant bowl that was filled with sticky rice and then topped with a tiny piece of fish and the accompaniments (pineapple, edamame, mushrooms, carrots, onions, etc.). I was good, don't get me wrong. The flavors were great and the fish cooked perfectly but it was such a small piece of fish that it didn't make sense. The fish should be the star of the dish, not the accompaniments. My partner's entree was more like it. A large piece of fish was the center of the dish. Just beware if you get the bowl that it's more about the items in the bowl and not the seafood. For dessert we got a Mochi ball (chocolate) and a Fried Dulche de Leche spring roll. We'd pass on the Mochi ball next time and share the spring rolls which were incredible.

Came here in march for a family members Birthday. I was impressed. The menu has a huge variety of different types of seafood. Which is ALWAYS a plus. The place was very clean and well decorated. I loved the atmosphere. They even had a pretty good happy hour. =) I had to order the calamari when I saw it on the menu.It even came with a special Cajun sauce which was absolutely delicious! I ended up getting the fish tacos. SO GOOD!!! It's nice, because you can mix and match the different types of meat. I got 1 mah-i mahi, shrimp, and chicken taco.They definitely are very generous with the food. Huge portions. I couldn't even eat all 3 tacos. The seasoned fries are delicious! I also loved that they have a lot of dipping sauces. I am known in my family as "sauce queen." I definitely want to come here again and get the salmon bowl. My aunt got it & it looked AMAZING! If you like seafood I highly recommend it. =) I had to knock it off a star because parking is absolutely ridiculous there! They have an entire empty lot on the side of the restaurant, but it was only allowed for people who stayed at a hotel next door. Lameeee.
(4)Yeelo N.
I really love this place. It's consistent, the portions are great, and the food is phenomenal. I have tried almost all of their Pokes and it's hard to choose just one (which is why we always do the Trio)! However, if I were to narrow it down to three, you can't go wrong with the Traditional Ahi, Lomi Lomi, or the California Style. My other go-to has to be their bowls. As other folks have mentioned, they are HUGE and I can never finish mine! I typically get them with 1/2 salad greens, 1/2 brown rice and take my leftovers home. :) Service is good, they take reservations on Open Table, and the food is clean and healthy, but still tastes great! I'd definitely recommend this place!
(4)Shiv H.
The food was OK nothing special. But it was very expensive. Expect a $30+ per head for a regular food.
(3)Elsei Y.
Food was good. Service was lukewarm. The only thing I have to complain was the noise level. We could hear each other at lunch time. Will be back for the food.
(4)Brian D.
Came back at Easter and i was shocked! the new Poki combo menu was the bomb! I also had a side of skirt steak for $6.99 and that too was perfecto! It was really crowded and loud,I loved it! A friend from church said he was going there so I decided on a spur after church to go as well with my guest. The sweet potato fries and dip*** yum.....Really! The new concept menu was a great improvement! The rice bowl fish dish my wife had was excellent as well! What a total improvement over when this place opened! I WENT BACK ON THURSDAY FOR THE $10 ANNIVERSARY THREE POKI COMBO ON SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO DO IT! i'D WASH DISHES FOR FOOD!....Even the tarter sauce i usually hate was the bomb here! SO GO FOLKS! I will go back again soon!
(5)Kevyne R.
I was craving for some seafood one night so i went on Yelp (of course) and looked for a place that i can have dinner out of Fremont. Since this place have consistent 4 star reviews, I decided to check it out. The place was packed but I was seated right away (plus point). Started off with the pacific regional soup. This soup has loads of crab meat in it! Super yummy! yelp.com/user_local_phot… and the Pacific Ceviche Trio for appetizer yelp.com/user_local_phot… . Amongst the three, the Shrimp Baja is the only one that I enjoyed. The Hawaiian Poke (tasteless) and the Peruvian Ceviche are just meh. Nothing to rave about really. I had to ask for Wasabi and soy sauce for me to like that Poke. Then came The Rice bowl orders. Korean BBQ with Sticky Ribs yelp.com/user_local_phot… and Japanese Wasabi with Salmon yelp.com/user_local_phot… $14.50 for each rice bowl. You can have it with white or brown rice or half and half. Nothing special in these dishes. I am not a picky person but the whole dinner was a total flop! I had way better Salmon and Ribs elsewhere. From the food that we ordered, it's only the soup that is so worth talking about. Service was bad. Our server was MIA the whole time. No silverwares or napkins on the table even after when the food was served already. Seriously? For everything = $60.00
(2)Andrea G.
You will have a better experience if you make a reservation. Why I'm a fan.. -Guilt-free options: Salad bowl or brown rice bowl with your choice of protein (ahi, shrimp, kbbq beef, chicken, salmon..) -Friendly servers -Patio Seating -Bar with TVs
(4)Becky W.
So happy there's a Pacific Catch here in the South Bay! Now I can get my Hawaiian poke bowl fix! The poke bowl with brown rice was delicious as usual, however, the poke seemed saltier than the one in SF. Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered my takeout and it was ready in 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back!
(4)Jamie J.
Absolutely LOVE this place. I've been about three or four times and have received good service and great food every time. I usually get the mixed catch basket because I love seafood, and it tastes extremely fresh. I also liked topping off my meal with Mochi for dessert. The Baja shrimp ceviche is a must as well!
(5)Bhonz Z.
Has very good appetizers (starters), yummy fresh seafood dishes esp. the poke dish, oh the sweet potato fries! sandwiches, pan-asian dishes & other dishes... all the dishes we had here with my friends are all good food. I recommend this place to my friends who comes in town.

The food was okay... but I would gladly give up my firstborn for their Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" with vanilla ice cream & caramel sauce RIGHT NOW. I don't actually have any children though.
(4)tia p.
Wait can be long if you don't have a reservation. Great 'date night' atmosphere in the evenings; not so child friendly (don't bring a stroller or a crying baby or you will get the eye daggers) great food; portion is moderate; healthy and hearty options are still very tasty. Sushi is also quite good. So glad Pruneyard has a semi upscale place to go to now!
(4)Alex F.
I was looking for something quick nearby, and I wasn't really expecting much. Luckily, I made a good bet with Pacific Catch. The food and service were great, and I was able to walk in/out with no problem. The hostess, Taylor, took my take-out order over the phone and rung me up in-store. I ordered Fish N' Chips with regular fries and coleslaw, $10.90 with tax. This was the perfect size for me, because I don't usually eat a lot at once. The fish was delicious! I bit into the fried crust to find a fresh, flaky, white interior. It didn't feel greasy or overcooked, which is a common problem with fried fish. The fries and tartar sauce were standard, but good, and the coleslaw was balanced well. For a quick and unexpected eat, this place made me fan. I didn't sit down inside, but the interior looked nice. It's tucked at the end of the Pruneyard in between Marshall's and the hotel. I want to come back for a sit-down meal someday. This is a great addition to the Campbell and the Pruneyard.
(4)Luke G.
This place is as consistent as it gets. I've been here, and to their other locations in SF dozens of times and have yet to have even one issue. It's well managed, the food is fantastic and reasonable. Excellent beer options (Thank you for having IPA's) The service is best in category and they also have a great happy hour Mon-Fri 3-6 (I think).
(5)Tiffany C.
Got the Ahi salad. Great choice for the hot weather. It was good, but nothing to write home about. The real problem is that the salad as drenched in wasabi dressing. It wasn't the spiciness that was annoying, but that it just seemed too wet.
(3)Ali W.
This place is fantastic. Everything I've tried, I've loved and would order again. The atmosphere is super cool too. I would advise making a reservation, because the wait can be a bit long, but you can always stroll around The Pruneyard while you wait. The food is all really fresh and flavorful. I'm pretty much obsessed with their sushi. They have a nice looking bar with TV's that play whatever sporting event is going on.The price is super reasonable, especially considering the generous portions and quality of the food.
(5)Amanda G.
We had dinner here with a friend last Friday night, and were all unhappy and totally disappointed with our meals. For starters, we had made a reservation, and the hostess forgot about us after we checked in. The manager noticed, apologized and offered to get us a free appetizer. We chose the ceviche trio. The shrimp ceviche was fine, the poke was flavorless, but the Peruvian ceviche was pretty good. I liked the avocado mixed with the spiciness. I had the ahi sandwich, and as much as I hated to, I promptly sent it back. It was supposed to have wasabi aioli on it, and it was DRENCHED in it. The waitress was very nice about it, and I got a new sandwich with the aioli on the side. I was hoping it would be similar to the ahi burger at the Counter, unfortunately it wasn't. The tuna had some sinewy pieces in it, and was totally bland and flavorless. I have a feeling the slices of ahi are defrosted and seared off earlier in the night, (since the ahi in the other menu items all look identical.) Our friend had the shrimp tacos, and some of the shrimp weren't cooked properly. My guy and our friend had also ordered the spicy fries which were cold and limp. They both sent them back and received fresh ones, but they still weren't good. My sweet potato fries may have been the best thing on our three dishes. We all had drinks, which were fine. Although, our server incorrectly named what their well vodka was.... When we got our check, my meal had been comped. This wasn't necessary, but we appreciated it. This place was packed, so obviously other people are liking it. The Pruneyard needed some new restaurants, but this was a big loser for all three of us. I had expected clean, fresh flavors, and what we got was over processed, overly salty (so much so my rings were tight until the next afternoon) chain restaurant like food.
(2)Mark F.
Food is good! I've tried the Vietnamese Beef Sandwich, and the Cabo Shrimp Tacos - both are delicious! Only complaint is the service. Went on a Sunday night, and the waitress was not very attentive and the service was very slow.
(3)Stephanie T.
Love the Korean style rice bowl! Very tasty, lots of unique ingredients and the meat is delicious. I also got a side salad that was giant and very good. I tried my bf's tacos and was surprised at how good they were too. They have a gluten free menu, which was very helpful for a couple at our table. We also had a special request bc of dietary needs. The head chef came out to let us know he would help us out. Very cool! I felt that they went above and beyond in service and with the food. There's also a nice bar I plan to go back to. I like the decor with the blue bottles hanging as light fixtures. Nice place!
(5)Cathryn M.
Once again this is my favorite pic for seafood 2013 :) best food huge portions great service and always a fun place to eat at bar with football on :)
(5)Janine B.
We had lots if recommendations from friends to check this place out, and we are glad we did. Nice atmosphere, great service, and yummy food.
(4)Carrie A.
Overall 3.5 stars I had to give this place a couple of tries before I wrote a review. The first time I went, it just opened, so I knew there would be a couple of kinks to work out. For example, it took 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and then another 30 minutes for our next round to show up. I knew we should have ordered our second round the minute our first arrived. The good part, the manager was very apologetic, and explained the situation. I really was impressed he came out to talk to us. Very good customer service if you ask me. I love the decor, the ambiance, and so far all the dishes I have tried I really enjoyed. Sushi is good, (Shiso Fine!) tacos are yummy, (Mahi-Mahi!) and the Hawaiian Poke with the chips are really good. they even have a gluten free section, which was good since my aunt is gluten free, and had no idea until we were looking at the menu. I have been here with family and friends, and I REALLY want to LOVE this place, but they are still not there. When I order water for all of us at the table, is it really difficult to get us all a glass for that water? When we order drinks, can we have the drinks BEFORE our dinner, and not when we are finished? I'm just sayin. It's getting better, and I do like it here ... I just want to love it here.
(4)Rachel H.
Awesome food and service! Went here for an anniversary and the waiter was wonderful and helpful for our first time, came back a second time because we couldn't resist. The Ahi Tuna is so amazing I have gotten it twice our food came out fast and was cooked to perfection. Will be coming back again!
(4)Jay E.
The food was good, setting was so-so. They really tried to update the interior, but the building is so old there's only so much that can be done. It's slightly loud, and I don't like Formica tables for dinner. They could easily fix this with tablecloths. We split a Mahi Mahi taco and the salad w/ Salmon. Both very good. Convenient location. Friendly staff.
(3)T Lee S.
Just the right portion size. The kids enjoyed their chicken teriyaki and fish & chips. Husband had the ahi tuna salad; he enjoyed the variety in his salad. I had the coconut shrimp and salad. Shrimp was a little over cooked, but the salad was delicious. You also have a choice of regular water or sparkling water, no extra charge.
(4)Lacey L.
Take it from a super picky eater-this place is amazing. I eat here regularly for both lunch and dinner-dine in and takeout. The service is never less than wonderful. Everyone is always so nice and helpful here. The food is always fresh and yummy!
(5)dave m.
You can go here and just eat the appetizers for dinner, it's that good. The Hawaiin poke is awesome! 5 stars for the food, 4 stars overall because the wait can be long, this place gets packed at dinner time.
(4)Judi M.
Sadly, I don't share the enthusiasm that my fellow Yelpers feel over Pacific Catch. I've been so excited about trying this PC ever since I saw them open up a location in the Pruneyard. We came in for a late lunch and were totally unprepared for the lunch menu prices. $15 for three tacos! $15 for a rice bowl! If I hadn't already ordered drinks, I would've walked out. Instead, I stayed and gave PC a try. I had the grilled salmon sandwich and my BF had the sushi grade ahi tuna salad. The waitress asked him if he wanted to substitute it the tuna for the Hawaiian poke instead. My BF thought about this for a second because he loves Hawaiian poke also, but the waitress asked him "You DO know what Hawaiian poke is, right?" At which point my BF turned to her and said, "Yes, I know what that is. I was just thinking about it. Just give me the tuna." My BF seldom gets upset with anyone, but he was clearly annoyed. NOT a good way to start the meal. We started with the California Roll, which is always a good indicator of how good a place is. While I liked it, my BF said it needed it was too bland and needed wasabi. My sandwich came and it was also bland. They offered several different sauces to try it with and I finally settled in the lemon and garlic aioli. For $12, you'd think that the sandwich wouldn't need any fancy accouterments. The ahi tuna salad was a good size with an ample amount of tuna. However, there wasn't anything special or wonderful about it. We've tasted better ahi tuna salads before. To be fair, I returned with a friend, just to see if maybe it was an off day for them. We came during the lunch rush and I ordered the California Roll and the ceviche trio. I really loved all the yummy fresh fish and shrimp, but once again was very underwhelmed by the value. My friend had the grilled salmon salad. Both times I went, I paid about $50 for lunch, which I personally feel is way too much for lunch for two. Yes, I know its seafood, but I should at least feel good about my meal instead of feeling gypped.
(2)erica s.
We've been coming here for years. Its my go-to for date nights. I love it! Sushi rolls are top notch; daily specials are always interesting and delicious; regular menu items are solid and reasonably priced.
(5)Hannah G.
Good spot for a chain, the calamari with the aoili dip is fantastic. The tall bartender with the beard is fun to watch. All in all nice atmosphere. Like the bamboo stools too.
(4)Tina T.
There are some positives and there are some negatives. positives: great drinks, 1/2 off bottles of wine for Tuesday happy hour, ahi poke salad, and the dulce de leche spring rolls negatives: everything else. Service is slow and the rest of the food is mediocre. They try to do some different and exotic variations but it falls flat. If you're sitting outside, good luck getting out of there in less than 2 hours as the waiters and waitresses seem to forget you're out there. I usually come here for lunch because it is right down the street from where I work so this has caused some problems for me. Now I just make sure to sit inside whenever I go.

Trying to stay healthy and on your meal plan!!!! Eat here all you meatheads out there!!! The Asian rice bowls, are for big eaters only!!!! Had a hard time a finishing on a couple different occasions. The being said it reasonably priced the air conditioning is kickin and I can't say much more cause I have ventured into any other place on the menu. Check em out.

3 1/2 stars. The food is very fresh and the service was pretty good. I've ate here twice and this is my tip for you. If you're expecting this place to be like Red Lobster or The Fish Market, then you'll be disappointed. This place is like an Asian fusion type of place and not like a traditional seafood eatery. Prices are also descent for the amount of food you get. My only complaint is that to me, they're trying to do too much with the food. Their are a lot of different flavors that get mixed together in the bowl and create a bit of confusion as to what you're actually tasting. Keep it simple and it should be a lot better.

Came here for the first time with my girlfriend. The atmosphere of the place is amazing. Great combination of sophistication and relaxation, excellent for every occasion. Fried calamari appetizer is phenomenal, we're going to start frying lemons in our dishes at home now too! Sushi and Mahi Mahi tacos for entrees love it all!

Came here for Happy Hour after a movie and really enjoyed this place. The bartender was great, she made excellent drinks and was very quick. Beer specials were good for $3.50. Well gin martini was $6.00. The Peruvian ceviche was tasty. The calamari gets better each time I order it. These were from the HH menu at $6.00 each. From the regular menu we each tried different Bowls with half rice and greens. By far the Korean steak bowl was the best. I tried the teriyaki salmon bowl, it was good but not as good as the Korean one. So for HH...great drink prices and good service. I will be back.

I do like how they have various specials at different times, but at the end of the day, the food is decent, but not very flavorful. The sweet potato fries is really good though. On weekends, make reservations or be prepared to wait for a while.

We decided to go for seafood last night, and I particularly wanted something healthy. I remembered that this place opened up in the Pruneyard. Because of its name, I was expecting a traditional seafood restaurant: grilled or baked fish, some vegetables, and a starch. When I entered, the first thing I noticed was that it smelled like sushi. Then, as I walked in, I saw a small sushi bar. So, I thought that it was a regular fish restaurant with a sushi bar. After we were seated, my boyfriend looked at the menu and remarked, "this place doesn't have any regular entrees." It did, but they were on the specials menu. The restaurant has an interesting twist: it combines Pacific fish with flavors from cultures around the Pacific. So, I had a wasabi rice bowl with hoke, a Hawaiian fish. He had a rice bowl with Thai curry sauce. We had a choice of white or brown rice and a choice to have either two cups of rice or one cup of rice and a cup of lettuce. I went healthy and had brown rice with a cup of lettuce. Never has healthy food tasted so good! I kept remarking, "I want to come here again!" We definitely will!

Took my girlfriend here for a date night and it did not disappoint! From the atmosphere to the drinks, my girlfriend was impressed with my pick! Drinks were good, limited selection of beer but all are soo good. Our superstar was their manager Mike who was checking on everyone, friendly, and got a new sandwich when the one was a little too spicy as well as another glass of wine. Great place, great drinks, great food, we will be back for sure
(5)Shane M.
Greasy fish and cold fries, but at least I got the opportunity to pay a lot for it... The wait staff was doing me favor by serving me and the whole experience was blah. This place does have potential, but I'll never find out.
(2)Ann D.
The Salmon and fish and chips were excellent. We were near the bar and there was a lot of background noise so it was difficult to hear our conversation. Service was good.
(4)Nancy Y.
Hawaiian Poke bowl-Enough Said. HUGE portions, fresh fish, great sauce and decent price. You can't go wrong. This location looks fancier than the SF location which I liked better. You have the option of asking for white rice or brown and half rice and half greens. The server messed up on my order and ended up giving me all rice. After some clarification, our waiter brought me a bowl of salad so I ended up getting more food than anticipated. We came on a Saturday night with no reservations and only waited 15 minutes.

First of all let me just say that it is refreshing to see an updated, modern restaurant space joining the Pruneyard plaza. Perfect spot for dates, small gatherings, and Happy Hour -- which are M-F 4-6PM. For those that aren't aware Pacific Catch is basically an American/Asian/Mexican fusion for the most part -- sounds complicated but try to think of it as a combination of good picks from each cuisine. Very California if you ask me. They had everything from curry/rice bowls, fish tacos, sweet potato fries, and even tom kha soup. All in all I'd have to say I was pretty satisfied with the food we got: - Spicy Fries - Peruvian Ceviche [w/ nice chunks of fish] - Shiso Fine roll - Seafood sampler [?] - Salmon Rice Bowl - Fish Tacos The prices are fair given the area, I'd say stay clear of food items you'd see elsewhere for cheaper [rice bowls / fish tacos / etc.] and go for the real entrees -- I mean that's what they're there for. We made reservations on a Friday night and were actually seated 15mins prior to the actual time allotted. Definitely will try to come back to try some of the specials and see how their seafood will fare.
(4)Lulu S.
Meh. Went here for lunch based on all the great reviews here on Yelp. No good. Only positive was the server was very friendly. The food though was not good at all. The water brought to the table had lil floaties of who knows what in the glasses. Diet coke was flat. I had the wasabi rice bowl with the tuna poke, the tuna was neither fresh nor properly cut. Frankly just awful. Kid had the mahi tacos, she liked them but I thought the fish tacos at Baja Fresh are much better. Definitely not coming back.
(1)Jennifer B.
After reading the overall 4 star reviews from elites and others, I was excited I got a reservation here to celebrate a special occasion with the family. However, I was pretty disappointed at the quality of the food! Pros - Ambiance is modern and tropical - lost of wood everywhere - Attentive and helpful staff - Seated me right away though I was late to my reservations by 20 minutes Cons - The edamame everyones talking about - comes in a tiny, tiny sauce dish. You know the ones you get at pho? So you get complimentary sauce dish of edamame and goldfish pretzels. Yummy and free, but tiny! I asked for another serving. - Poki tasting platter is pricey (for what they give you) and just OK. I've been to Hawaii, had it on the cheap and it was super delicious - so maybe my expectations were too high (?). - The sushi roll I ordered was horrible - just WAY to americanized. I don't think they even seasoned the rice to make it sushi rice. Conclusion - Unless it is for a working lunch meeting, I will not return. Sorry, Pacific Catch - you're just not the catch for me!
(3)Tanya I.
Service was a bit slow after we were seated. I recommend setting a reservation on the weekends, because they get pretty packed. Aside from the service the food was DELICIOUS. I got the Korean BBQ rice bowl with marinated steak, the meat was medium rare, nice and tender. The sushi is nice and fresh, and surprisingly good for not being a Japanese restaurant.' I would recommend this to anyone looking for some good seafood and dessert.
(5)Allegra I.
I have yet to have a bad experience here. The fish is always fresh and the drinks are always what I need. My must orders are always a Peruvian Ceviche and a zingy Dark and Stormy. The ginger beer they use is delicious! I've tried their various specials as well as Tuna wasabi bowl. I don't really consider this place a sushi restaurant, so I've never delved into that section of the menu. The fish here is always fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The drink menu always seems to be inventive and fun. If it's warm out I suggest their lemongrass bloody mary. I could make a meal out of those alone. The staff here is kind of iffy sometimes. I've had very pleasant experiences, but periodically someone will just seem a little bit off or the hostess has a smidge too much attitude upon answering questions. The wait can be kind of nutty some nights, so plan ahead or getting there early. Parking in the Pruneyard is less than ideal, but life goes on. Good stuff!
(4)Judy T.
I love this place! Service is always great and food is always good! My favorite is the Hawaiian BBQ salmon bowl ugh!!! And they had a dessert special today it was an upside down pineapple cake with Vanilla bean Ice cream scoop and pineapple sauce drizzled on top! Delicious and satisfying! This is on the top of our five favorite restaurants for our date nights! My boyfriend and I left with Happy Tummies thanks La Shae for being our wonderful server today! :)
(5)eva B.
I love pacific catch! the food is amazing and service friendly. It can sometimes be a bit noisy and crowded in the restaurant so I prefer coming here during the week. Definitely a must visit
(5)Elaine N.
Terrible terrible terrible. I ordered the ahi tuna salad and its texture was like a used tire. The nerve to still serve it to me! I also had the teriyaki steak rice bowl which was mostly rice this would of been fine if I ordered Teriyaki RICE, but I ordered STEAK. Save your money and find a gf who can wine and "dine" you.
(2)Megan L.
This place is great! They get pretty busy, but the food and the atmosphere make it worth it. I've been here a few times now, and I LOVE their salmon bbq sandwich and their chicken and shrimp tortilla soup. Normally shrimp is chewy or rubbery in soup, but these shrimp were PERFECT and made a fantastic twist on a classic dish. I also really like that you can get sparkling water here for free with your meal! This place is definitely one of my new favorite places.
(4)Sherri C.
I'm adding my voice here mainly because our waiter, Zack, was fantastic. We each ordered an appetizer, each had the soup special, I had a salad, and my husband had a main dish. Zack confirmed how we wanted these delivered and then managed it spot-on. You don't often find good course management any more (I've had really poor course management at really $$$$ places). Our drinks also arrived with perfect timing. I love it when great service adds to a great meal - thanks Zack! On to the food -- we ended up here because my husband was craving poke -- and he was not disappointed with what was served with his Pacific Ceviche Trio. Maybe not the best he ever had but satisfied his craving. We shared that and also the Glazed Crab Dumplings from the Crab Fest menu. Both very good -- very generous with the crab. We each had the Dungeness Crab & Corn Chowder -- again very good -- complex and developed flavors with just a little kick, and again generous with the crab. I had the Crab Louie Salad mainly because I wanted more crab and didn't want a full entree. This was a nice salad -- dressing evenly distributed, huge serving of crab, split mini cherry tomato's, avocado, radish, hard boiled egg. Really nice. He had the Pan Roasted Petrale Sole with Dungeness Crab -- nice dish and we both liked the preparation of the Sole. I had the Rosemary Alaea (Distillery 209 gin, rosemary syrup, fresh grapefruit & lime, Hawaiian Alaea sea salt) cocktail special -- I'd go back again just for this! All in all a nice date night.
(4)Rebekah H.
4 stars! This place has a lot of healthy options, including giant delicious salads (the veggie special is my favorite). Make sure and try one of the Poke appetizers - they are fantastic! The service is always great, although I would recommend reservations. Wait times can be rough, especially on the weekends.
(4)Mark L.
Delicious meal. We enjoyed the soup, a sushi roll, and two meals. The fish and the beef were delicious. The draft beer selection is sure to please and they serve Grey Goose which is a requirement for my wife. Will return soon!
(4)Candice K.
Our first visit and yum! The food and drinks were delicious and their menu is extensive. The service was perfect. Try the Pacific Trio Ceviche, Spicy Tuna & Ecstasy Rolls, and the Mixed Catch Basket. Margaritas & Bloody Mary's excellent. You can't go wrong here.
(4)Amanda L.
Food: Very favorful! My friend took us out for dinner and highly recommended the place. I got a curry bowl and it came out a bit cold.. It tasted good, but you can't serve cold curry! Other than that, the food came out well. I ordered the clam chowder bread bowl and CA sushi roll. Sushi wasn't good because it tasted extremely pasty. Other than that, the rest of the dishes were fantastic. (4/5 stars) Service: RIDICULOUS. We had a waitress that didn't take us seriously because we came in casual clothes, so she didn't attend to us like she did with the other customers. We were seated outside and the table across from us looked like a business group going out for dinner. They were dressed in professional attire while my friends and I were dressed in regular, casual clothes. The waitress came back with water every ten minutes for them and served them really well. She ran back and forth to attend to their every need, but somehow neglected our table throughout the entire night. She refilled our waters ONCE. We waited over an hour to get her attention to get the bill, and after she brought back the bill half an hour later, she asked us if we wanted dessert. Are you kidding me?? We wanted dessert two hours ago, but because you neglected us, we didn't want to wait another hour for a simple ice cream to come out. I would have been more understanding if it was extremely crowded, but the fact that she provided great customer service to the table across from us on a not-so-busy night makes me not want to come back ever again. Btw, my friend paid for our dinner that night. He was willing to leave a big tip, aka at least 20%. Don't judge a book by it's cover, jerk. (0/5)
(2)Daniella S.
Cool ambiance, super-fresh ingredients and creative menu. This place is a keeper. Wish we had more SF-esque restaurants like this in our neck of the woods. Food was very tasty. Their Asian-fusion offerings are a lovely change of pace from having to decide on one particular Asian cuisine. They play very well with the Asian seafood theme and some of their dishes were really inspired. Service was OK -- fast and friendly and all that but so "conditioned" -- hate feeling like I'm talking to a robot. It's a bit on the pricey side but for the ambiance, freshness and the creativity, it's worth every penny.
(4)Mary S.
We loved this place! Food very good. Fish amazingly fresh. Service friendly and accommodating. And fast. We had a movie to get to and they were attentive without rushing. We will be back!
(5)Amanda D.
Excellent, friendly service, A++ for ambience and the Food is AMAZING. The Dulce de leche eggrolls are sex in the mouth. I promise you wont regret it. The salads are my favorite because the ingredients are really fresh and lets be honest, salads are done wrong so often, but this is not one of those instances. So lucky to have such a delicious, quality based restaurant so local.
(4)Lisa W.
Well, this was the first time here and I have mixed feelings about this place. Here's what happened..... It was lunch time Wednesday around 12:45. It was raining so we didn't think it would be very busy. When we walked in, the host greeted us with, "Do you have reservations"? Unfortunately we did not, but there were tables, so I didn't get why this was so important.... Someone in our party asked for a booth and the host looked at him as if he just said some kind of ridiculous joke. Then we waited, standing, for eight to ten minutes for our table. Our server came quickly to the table and started with..."We are so busy, can I get you something to drink?" We ordered drinks and they came quickly then we ordered food. The Asian fusion menu had a good variety and it was easy to pick from. They have a Gluten free section to choose from too, which I thought was excellent for those on a gluten free diet. The ambiance was modern, calming and nice - I liked this a lot! We got our food and it was fresh and pretty good. I got the Chipole Chicken Salad. The chicken was bland, no heat from the chilies, but the rest was good. The salad was dressed properly, the avocado was perfect and combo of flavors was good. The server came over to check on us, asked me how the meal was and then proceeded to answer on my behalf. Definitely made me feel like they neither cared about my answer nor did they want to hear any feedback whatsoever, so I'm writing this instead! Overall, the food was pretty good and I liked the ambiance and menu, but the service made me feel a bit unwelcome. 3.5 stars
(3)Jen O.
Great service. Mediocre food for the price. Presentation was nice. Good drinks and complimentary sparkling water. Dulce de leche spring rolls are to die for!
(3)Stephanie W.
Amazing restaurant! I was impressed within just a few minutes after walking in. Got seated on a Sat. night right away w/o reservations even though it looked like a full house. The employees were all very nice. Ordered delicious food!! Love the crab dumpling and mochi fondue dessert! I am definitely coming back to this place again and recommending it to others.
(5)Walter C.
Overall a good time here. Our server, Elisabeth, was friendly and attentive (Mother's Day). The place is very clean and felt comfortable eating in the semi outdoor table. This place was recommended by a friend and overall reviews here on Yelp were favorable, so I thought this would be a treat for Mother's Day. Hawaiian Poke: good and authentic. As always, people want bigger portions but the taste was spot on, a little heat and lots of flavor. My brother inlaw is Hawaiian and I love Poke so it was right on. Fresh catch of the day: Opah. I called it Oprah (bet Elisabeth has heard that a million times before. Folks at the table thought it was good. The fried coconut triangles were good also. Tacos: Steak, Baja and shrimp. All had good flavor. the tortillas were quite thin and worried me they would tear. Maybe 2 corn tortillas per taco would be a better choice. The 3 kids that came with us had chicken strips, fish and chips and coconut shrimp. All were happy and had no complaints. My wife ordered a shrimp taco but was given the Baja. Elisabeth quickly fixed this situation. I'm happy for the fast response. As mentioned in the beginning, overall a good time. Would go back again to try other items on the menu.
(4)Diana J.
I love coming here on Saturdays for lunch, not too crowded and the eating area in the Indoor/Outdoor Area is awesome. I always get the rib bowl and sometimes order the steak and shrimp as an add-on. It's simply delicious. The sweet fries are also delicious, The salmon sandwich isn't bad either. They may be understaffed right now but I mostly pick up my food so it hardly affects me. 4 stars just because I forgot to bring my "free edamame" coupon while picking up my food one day and the hostess argued with me a little bit. The manager okayed it eventually. *With every order for pickup they include free edamame cards for your next visit- don't forget to bring it!
(4)Bernard T.
Great service and good food. Will go back for sure.
(5)Daryl R.
We went on Friday evening about 6:00, were checked in promptly and pleasantly, and had just a very short wait. The decor was sharp and creative and the atmosphere bright and active but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't enjoy our conversation.Our waiter, Zach, was delightful and attentive. The Calamari appetizer was okay but more rubbery than Calamari should be when cooked properly. I ordered the Teriyaki bowl and took Zach's suggestion for 1/2 greens and 1/2 brown rice. My dish was attractively presented and delicious. I was a bit nervous about trying Pacific Catch because of the wide range of reviews. I'm glad that we went and would definitely go back. It's nice to have this restaurant option in the area. If you're there when Zach's working, I highly recommend sitting in his section.
(4)Mandy H.
I was not impressed. I've passed by this restaurant many times and decided to try because I was staying at the Double Tree. Went on a Saturday night nearly 9:00pm. No wait for two. Server wasn't too attentive, some things took longer than expected. There was one loud party while we were there. Original Poke (single) -- didn't seem fresh Shrimp Tempura Roll -- decent, didn't finish; cold shrimp 3-Taco Platter (chicken, shrimp steak) -- larger than normal Mexican tacos; steak undercooked Sole w/ crab mashed potatoes, broccolini -- lacked flavor, big portion Wouldn't return.
(2)Lindy P.
I was very surprised by my visit here! I went around 730pm on a Friday night, and there was a little wait. But I went to Marshalls next door and killed time. I got the thai curry rice bowl with satay shrimp. Omg it was so flavorful! They give the option of white rice, brown rice, or 1/2 brown rice 1/2 veggies. I got the half half, and I loved it. They put just enough sauce so that you can taste it in every bite without overpowering it. The shrimp was grilled to perfection. The brown rice was cooked just right. Everything complimented each other well. Its a bit pricey, but the portion was huge. I ate half, and saved the other half for lunch the next day. I tried my friend's korean barbecue rice bowl with marinated skirt steak. The meat was grilled perfectly, moist & flavorful. Omg just talking about it makes me crave it!! I was not a fan of brown rice sushi. I tried the Firecracker Salmon (tempura salmon, avocado, cucumber, daikon sprouts & shallots with srircha aioli). The salmon was dry, the sprouts did nothing for me. I really liked the srircha aioli, I wanted to lick it off the plate! Service was great, our waitress always refilled our water, and checked on us frequently. I will definitely be back soon!!
(4)Ronald L.
The decor is dimly lit, perfect for a date. Tuesday's are packed due to their 50% off wine special which basically knocks off the restaurant mark up for alcohol. It's located right next to a Marshall's in case you're not familiar with the area (I drove passed it since the sign doesn't stand out). I ordered the Japanese Wasabi pan-asian rice bowl with brown rice, hawaiian poke, and seared ahi. The rice bowl has daikon, cucumbers, shredded nori (seaweed) to give the dish some refreshing vegetables. The wasabi was enough to clear my sinuses (I was sick that day). The seared ahi was cooked to perfection salivating my mouth the entire time. I don't remember the hawaiian poke that much so I guess it was only mediocre. For those of you who are curious, it's basically a cube of sashimi fish which I think is tuna. I finished the entire dish but a normal regular person would only eat about 1/2 to 3/4 of the dish. If you decide to get appetizers, you'll have something to eat the next day for lunch!
(4)Derrick C.
Been to both the SF 9th Ave and this Campbell one and both were equally impressive. The Ahi Poke and the ice cream mochi were most memorable.

I like Pacific Catch. I've ate here a few times and have always been happy with the freshness and quality of my food. Atmosphere: The area is open and spacious. The noise level isn't too loud, so you can have a conversation with the people at your table. Has a beach/tropical/Hawaiian type feel to the decor. Food: the food is fresh, seasoned well, and has a healthy variety. The perfect place to go to on a hot summer day. The rice bowls are great. It's nice to have a local place that can finally cook brown rice. They have a great selection of sandwiches. I have ordered the ceviche twice and it has came out with the consistency of soup because of the runny avocado. Not good, but not a deal breaker. There is potential. Service: I've never had a problem or complaint with the service here. They have always been attentive and quick to resolve issues. Servers have a tendency to congregate to socialize (my own pet peeve), but it's never caused me to have slow service and my food has always been brought out timely (even when really busy). Good place, not great, for eats with plentiful healthy options. The kind of place you redeem yourself after a night of drunken antics that ended in the shameless consumption of greasy food towards the end.
(4)M. S.
Service was great. Food was good, but not amazing. I had a rice bowl with half salad/rice and salmon. The sauce was overly sweet. There was a nice mix of veggies/rice/meat ratio. In the end, I would go back if I want seafood - but it's not my first choice.
(3)Pearl P.
Ahi sandwich is AMAZING! Ceviche trio appetizer delicious , great music and atmosphere.... This place is a must go!
(5)Kimberly C.
3.5* Who knew a restaurant this physically appealing is located in the Pruneyard? Nice looking restaurant inside and out. Prices where most entrees seem to be minimum of $12 where most are over $15 minus sandwiches. You get complimentary edamame already peeled yay and pretzel goldfish What I ordered: *Pacific Ceviche trio- not your typical ceviches. 1. Hawaiian poke is too salty for me. When eaten with the wonton chips, I could still just taste the soy sauce marinade.. 2. WINNER- The baja shrimp ceviche was my favorite of all- in a light green avocado colored liquid sat these scrumptious shrimps. To balance the saltiness of the poke, I poured leftover juices of the baja shrimp ceviche onto the poke and chip. Much better with hint of acidity to the saltiness. 3. I didn't really care for the Peruvian ceviche that was yellow in color.. it came with plenty of fish and shrimp but the flavor wasn't memorable or to my liking. *Japanese wasabi rice bowl- I really liked this. Reminded me of chiriyashi Japanese bowl except I didn't have an assortment of raw fish. The veggies, condiments in the bowl were quite similar. I added some soy sauce and was perfectly salted. I like how they have low sodium soy available on the table. I ordered two meats = $18.50 kind of steep but I couldn't finish it all. I finished 3/4 of it but if I didn't have appetizer, I may have been able to dominate it. Meats chosen: grilled salmon and seared ahi. (options for the pan asian bowls are to have half salad, and brown or white rice) *Hawaiian teriyaki rice bowl- ordered by the bf, who claimed it was good, but mind you, he was drunk as I found out during the course of dinner..as he was speaking loudly and couldn't help but gaze at me for periods of time lol. It was his bday and he was at a bar earlier with coworkers.. enough said right? Highlights: *try more on the menu! would reorder Japanese wasabi bowl and definitely the baja shrimp ceviche. Skip poke and Peruvian ceviche.
(4)Pearl V.
Been here twice so far, and I like this place. Their guava cocktail is yummy! I've tried the Sampler appetizer that came with Hawaiian poke (sashimi) w/ wonton chips, Peruvian ceviche w/ taro chips, Baja shrimp ceviche w/ chips. To be truthful, I didn't care much for the peruvian ceviche at all. For my entree, I had the Island Tacos and chose the mahi mahi and the steak taco along with sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, my mahi was extremely overcooked and drowning in the green sauce (perhaps to disguise it) but the steak taco was delish! Mmm! Definitely left me licking my fingers afterwards. Hubby had the Salmon Sandwich which he enjoyed. I saw a lot of other dishes I'd love to try, so we'll be back!
(3)Davidson H.
You wanna be a yuppie? Than this place is for you. There is really nothing to this place, in short. Walking in and looking at the employees I could tell that this was a wannabe trendy place to eat. First off the best thing about my meal was the Alaskan beer that came in a bottle. The server was slow and not interested in servicing us, and I think this place is only good for drinking at their bar on a weekend, and filled with people desperate to wannabe cool. I ordered the fish and chips on a Tuesday lunch service and it was one of the worst fish and chips I ever had. They didn't have salt on the tables and I requested salt for my meal and the server came back with like a pinch and no shaker. The Cole slaw was the worst I ever had as well. I could go on and on about this place but why bother, people will go and continue to be disappointed. I am one person who won't be fooled twice. Stay away from this joint.
(1)michelle l.
Pretty good. Like fish market but more Asian-y. I ordered the Japanese rice bowl with mahi mahi. I like that you can get brown rice, or half rice and half mixed greens. The sesame ginger dressing was so good, and it was a lot of food; I couldn't even finish. The mochi ice cream fondue for dessert was perfect so you can have a bite or two of something sweet. I want to try the poke menu next time! Glad it's so close by.
(4)Leanne P.
Loved this place! Its conveniently located in the Pruneyard and there is a lot of parking in the area. Upon entering, its not overwhelmingly "seafood" (ala Red Lobster) and has a very mixed feel. They've got a bar area if you'd like to catch some games (and happy hour!) and there is outdoor and indoor seating for large groups. My friend made reservations for 730pm for our party of 8. Although we got there a bit late, our table was not quite ready for us yet. We didn't mind waiting, but the manager still offered us some appetizers to speed up the wait (on the house!). Like I said, it was not a necessary gesture, but our group appreciated it! All together, we got: The Pacific Ceviche Trio (a sampling of Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke, and Peruvian ceviche) I loved all three! The Peruvian ceviche was a bit spicy for my (weak) tongue, but the poke and shrimp ceviche were amazing. I espeically loved the citrusy flavors of the shrimp, yum yum! Cabo Calamari (crispy calamari, lemon slices, & red chilies with spicy chipotle aioli) Again, I'm a weakling when it comes to spicy stuff, but the calamari was fantastic with just a bit of a kick. I felt like an idiot though because the sauce was so good (albeit VERY spicy) that I was dipping my calamari in it anyway, and then having to gulp half the bottle of water right after! Thai Coconut shrimp (crispy shrimp with Thai sweet chili sauce) Your typical yummy coconut shrimp. Nicely sized pieces and not overly oily. Sweet Potato Fries (with ginger wasabi aioli & sweet Thai chili sauces) You can't mess with sweet potato fries, and these were fab. Served on newspaper, the sauces were just an added star. Now you'd think I'd be too stuffed to order food after all those amazing appetizers, but I still wanted something. After perusing the menu, I decided on the Korean Barbecue Pan-Asian Rice Bowl with Sticky Ribs. This was huge! It had a mix of rice, veggies, and of course--the sticky ribs. All very flavorful and I could NOT finish it all. The one star deduction was that it wasn't great (unfortunately) the next day for lunch.. and this wouldn't be a big deal, but I read in one of those diet magazine things is that you should always take your meal and split it in half (save the other half for another meal). I guess I could've split with G, but then we wouldn't have been able to sample different things! He also got a Pan-Asian Rice bowl, but the Hawaiian Terriyaki version with steak. G finished it ALL though (fatty :P) so yea. Anyway, other than that, everything was fabulous. Our servers were attentive and kept our water bottles filled... The prices were definitely awesome and I would love to come back again (but maybe order smaller plates).
(4)Dana F.
We haven't tried a bad dish at this place. It is a local chain, but very well done and doesn't feel like a chain.The chefs specials and main fish courses including the dishes on the Crab Fest menu have been our favorites, along with the tacos. We also like the Hawaiian flavored on the menu and the desserts have been delicious. Overall it's one of the best seafood options in the area. Great for a date night. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because the service is decent but not the best we've had. Be sure to make a reservation, and parking can sometimes be an issue on Friday and Saturday.
(4)Amanda C.
The food is great! Love the poki. The customer service is top notch! I will for sure go back. The decorations make the environment very relaxing. I really enjoyed my experience

As someone who works locally near the Pruneyard there is always a lot of options to eat in downtown campbell. Yet I constantly find myself coming back to Pacific Catch for the food and for the occasional specials to the menu. There is almost always a wait though, so try and make a reservation if you can. At lunch they are usually understaffed, everyone is working hard, but it gets packed and sometimes it takes awhile to get your food and drinks out, especially if your sitting near a large party. The service is always very nice though, but busy, and all of the servers are very knowledgeable and are all working hard. Mac, the guy up front, always has the sweetest things to say and always puts a smile on all of our faces and always gets us a good table. I sometimes go get take out at Pacific Catch over some of the other places at the Pruneyard because I know Mac will be there to take my order. Overall the place is really really good. It's not five star dining, but its a step up from casual dining. Prices are very reasonable, parking is awful everywhere at the Pruneyard. Try and go right when they first open or after the lunch rush if possible. It is worth a shot.

The ceviche is the bomb--Full of flavor!! The Mongolian bowl is realky good and The crab melt is amazing. Ambiance is super relaxing and the snacks (edamame and pretzel goldfish) are addicting! !! A must try!

We came here for happy hour to watch the game and it was the perfect spot. We tried Rock Bottom first which is also located in the Pruneyard and it was packed. At Pacific Catch we walked right up to the bar which had TV's lining the back. They serve their full menu at the bar and they also have a happy hour menu until 6. Their happy hour had a selection of $6 apps, $3.50 beers and $5ish cocktails. We tried the coconut shrimp, spicy tuna roll, Peruvian Ceviche and the let's get saucy roll. The lets get saucy roll was my favorite loaded with tempura salmon, albacore and topped with spicy and eel sauce. It had the right amount of kick and a touch of crunch and the flavors blended together nicely. The peruvian ceviche was also very good with their market fish, fresh avocado, tomatoes in a cream sauce served with chips. I will be back for more happy hours here, especially since 3 of us ate and drank to our delight for under $50.

Came here on a Tuesday night with the girlfriend and we will definitely be back. Had the calamari, mixed tacos, and the california roll salad. Every dish was fantastic and seemed perfectly cooked and well flavored. Tuesday is half price wine bottles so a reasonable Napa white was only $19 and a bargain. The patio is a nice touch on cool summer evenings and the noise level was bustling but tolerable. Parking is very difficult but there are enough spots to find something. Seemed to fill up fast but we had reservations and got there early. Total bill for two was $85 after tip.

Great food and even better service! Been here twice a great meals each time - hence 5 stars

4.5 stars LOVE IT! We have some ties with the owner (indirectly) and finally had the opportunity to try out this amazing restaurant. The portion is huge and the service here is fast and great! We went in a very big group (20+) and sat outside (heat lamps with insulation provided). 1) Wasabi Bowl (poke+seared ahi, 1/2 brown rice+greens) and it was delicious! 2) Pork rib appetizer- delicious, well seasoned 3) Potato fries- can't go wrong with that! 4) Calamari- they also deep fry the jalapeno 5) Nojito- mojito minus the etoh.- this one was okay- tasted like lime mint 6) Water provided was actually seltzer/bubbling water Overall delicious. I would come back...maybe with my beau next time and hit the pruneyard plaza for some shopping!

Husband ordered mahi mahi and steak tacos. Tasted very bland. The fish was over cooked. I ordered the mixed fish and chips. Came with coconut shrimp, battered-deep fried fish, and fried oysters. The fish was good, the shrimp was ok, and I couldn't even swallow the oyster. I'm not sure why others gave this restaurant high ratings. Maybe we just went on a bad night. But from our experience with the food there, we will never go again. Also, had reservations at 8 pm, didn't get seating until 830. Overpriced for quality of food.

Mmm can't wait to go back already! They just opened after having two successful restaurants in SF. Seafood places besides sushi are far and few in between in SJ, so I'm really excited this is so close to home. Also have never loved asian fusion until now, much better than Roy's in San Diego. Came for dinner... Seafood sampler with Hawaiian Poke (sashimi), Peruvian Ceviche, and Baja Shrimp Ceviche - Poke is scrumptious and fresh, don't think I've ever had fish like that. Perfectly flavored with three different types of chips so it's really fun to mix and match. Pacific Steak & Mahi Mahi tacos w/ sweet potato fries - Best steak tacos, confirmed. Also really thoughtful that it came on a vintage Hawaiian newspaper print (veggie ink)! Japanese Wasabi crab salad bowl - I was afraid of the wasabi but it was not spicy at all, just an "essence" of it. Reminds me of a korean bibimbap and love the seaweed salad and veggies that come with, and healthy too. Dulce de leche spring rolls - I'm not usually a fan of carmel but I was convinced after having this, I think I ate the whole thing myself. Nohito and Agave Lemonade were also really good. Seafood din for two - drinks, appetizer, dishes, and dessert, came out to only $50. Customer service is really friendly and fast. Atmosphere is casual and laid-back but classy, there's also a bar for people who likes the drinks. Five stars!!

We came here for my brother's early birthday dinner and was quite excited after seeing the great reviews. So why only 3 stars? I'm not sure I would come here again, perhaps to give this place another chance. Our waiter, an Asian woman with glasses, at first was attentive and described the dinner options with enthusiasm. We didn't want to order alcoholic drinks after she asked twice -- three in our family are not of legal drinking age and she recommended some pitcher drink that serves 4 people in a party of 5. Believe me, my brother and sister do not like 21...they are still in high school lady! When we weren't ready to order and asked her to come back, it seemed to dampen the mood and the service went down from there. She was slow to refill water and get enough chopsticks for our table. She spoke in a rush and didn't really listen to what we asked about the menu. Getting the check was slow -- we wanted to make it to Philz in time before it closed! Just so slow all around and really dampened the experience. Food-wise the portions were huge and filling. The food was average, nothing super-special but not terrible either. Loved the ingredients and flavors in the Poke bowl, but the poke I had in Hawaii was much fresher. The one thing I really did not enjoy was the mochi dessert. I don't even know how they call those lumps mochi. The outer parts of mochi should be soft and chewy, but 2 out of the 3 pieces had oddly crumbly outer layers. Very strange and not too enjoyable. But really, other than the poor service, I would like to try this place again as it seems like a nice place to have a casual meal with the family.
(3)Simone S.
Tried this place for the first time on Friday night and liked it so much, went back for lunch yesterday. Both experiences great! The food is fresh and tasty. Loved the salmon chowder and the baja shrimp ceviche. Five stars for both dishes. The two managers, Jerry & Tony, were attentive to us being "newbies". And a shout out to our friendly bartender, Adam. We look forward to our next meal as we go through the amazing menu!

It really doesn't matter how you feel about seafood, if you like mojitos (or even the non-alcoholic no-jito), you should check out Pacific Catch. Very tasty. Maybe you do like seafood, maybe that was the original reason you were tempted to try this place out. Good for you. I was very pleased with the parmesan crusted sole. Thin, crispy panko crust on the outside with a drizzle of a nice sauce to compliment the tender, flaky, not-fishy-tasting at all goodness on the inside. Tuna fans should give the spicy tuna roll a try. It's a little different than sushi-focused places, but boy is it good. The food is served up quickly, the service is attentive but unobtrusive and I've been pleased with what I've seen of the bar. Check it out, and make sure to grab a mojito (or no-jito) while you're there.
(4)Caterina V.
We started with the calamari which was good. Our main courses were the pacific salmon club (on special) and the fish and chips. The salmon club was excellent but after next week is off the menu, the fish and chips were horrible, they were greasy and heavy. Bottom line we definitely won't be coming back, I mean come on who can't make fish and chips! Next time I'll go to Rex Lobster! :) Happy Eating!
(3)Michelle S.
I gotta say... it was just alright... Maybe I went on a bad night but the white fish I got was so over-marinated, it was salty and overcooked. The meat wasn't flaking like it should. But, one visit isn't enough for me to not come back. The drinks were fine and our server was nice and accommodating. So I'll try again.
(3)Ben H L.
This review is for their bar area. Came here for a post dinner drink with my good friend. I heard of this place from a server who had trained to work here. She recommended their food highly and although I had already eaten dinner, I wanted to try something from their drinks menu. I got the guava cooler and my friend got the lemongrass mojito. Both drinks were pretty good with the guava drink having a little bit of fizzy carbonation and the lemongrass had a mix of lemongrass, mint, and rum all together. Service was pretty good...they came back to check on us regularly and there are some nice booths located in the bar area that could fit a very small group comfortably. I'm thinking that I can snag one there if I ever forget to make a reservation there. They write their daily seafood specials on a blackboard so I'm excited to try their fresh specials the next time I come here. Their happy hour late night is from 10pm to midnight.

Needed to do some serious catching up with a long-time friend who came back from working in India. She was in need of some solid seafood, so Pacific Catch seemed like a very suitable option. We started off with the Hawaiian Poke ($9.50) which was quite good. The ahi tuna was fresh and held a pleasantly firm texture. It came with a generous pile of fried wonton strips, and was perfect for sharing between the two of us. We both ended up getting the Mahi Mahi special of the day ($18.50), which came with an avocado crema, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. I was actually quite impressed with how many components they placed on the dish. The mahi mahi was a generous piece of fish and had a pronounced grilled flavor. The avocado crema didn't harmonize very well with the overall dish, and the sweet potato fries were pretty standard. The vegetables were executed very well, which included grilled zucchini and squash, roasted red peppers, and even half of a corn on the cob. The menu was quite extensive and featured plenty of dishes that I would need to try out, including the rolls and rice bowls. The service was okay for the most part, but our waitress took an unusually long time to pick up our check. They actually offer complimentary sparkling water besides the usual distilled (a first for me in the South Bay) and leave a bottle of water at your table, which I appreciated. The atmosphere of the place is neat and modern, and allowed for easy conversation. Pacific Catch turned out to be another solid find in Campbell. I will definitely have to try out some of the offerings on the menu, and this could turn into a regular spot considering the lack of seafood places on my food radar in South Bay.

Never knew this existed in Pruneyard until we met up with some friends for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice decor and friendly staff and the buzz in the restaurant definitely showed this was a hot spot. I ordered the Poke Wasabi bowl which was tasty and very fresh. You can tell high quality ingredients were used as the brown rice that I optioned was one of the best I've had. Also, this bowl is huge! For once I couldnt even finish all the rice..shocking I know =P Everyone else enjoyed their food too which ranged from fish tacos to meat sandwiches. Great selection of different beers on tap and competitive pricing add up to a great experience!
(4)Johanna S.
WOW, I haven't had delicious Asian fusion in waaaay too long!! If you like Japanese food, sushi, etc, but want more of a restaurant environment and menu, that was Pacific Catch to me. It reminded me of Roy's Asian Fusion (which is really expensive). I got the Japanese Wasabi bowl (wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce) and I got it with Seared Ahi, which I loved, and my best friend got the same bowl but with Hawaiian Poke and teryaki sauce. It was big enough to fill me up, which is usually not the case with sushi-style food. But you can also get a double order of the fish which I think I will do next time and get the same order but with Poke and Ahi. I will have to try the other location in SF.. I have a feeling it will become a regular lunch spot. :)
(5)Victoria J.
Had a great date night here last night, food and service were excellent. Good crowd too, families and older folks and some younger groups as well. We shared the dungeonous crab dumplings and corn and crab soup, both were tasty but that soup was amazing! I got the Japanese rice bowl with wasabi glazed salmon and brown rice and I loved it. Husband got the taco trio platter with mahi fish tacos and cod tacos, I tried these and they were so good, they have a delicious cilantro sauce. Our server was really attentive and helpful, sounded like Jeff bridges a little too. We shared the macadamia brownie sundae for dessert the brownie was huge and dense and delicious, I swear we needed two other people to finish it. It had a really good coconut ice cream which we had to eat all of. Great first time at Pacific Catch, we'll definitely be back!
(5)Rob J.
Not sure how this place is rated 4 stars - it's okay with some interesting menu selections. You'd expect more options for fresh catch in various preparations but not much here. It's a noisy spot - I don't normally notice but I did here. I can think of many other more interesting places to spend a dinner.
(3)Susanna K.
Awesome service from our waitress who gave us extra service because the kitchen was particularly busy. Poke Fest through the beginning of May! Amazing. Glad we made a reservation because it was packed Sunday night. I almost forgot the amazing dessert. You must try the fried dulce de leche. Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae was also delicious, but Dulce de Leche wins.
(5)Tarzn B.
My first time here. The place is nice and clean. Our waitress 4 stars. The food... Since it was our first time here. We weren't sure what to order, but with the help of our waitress we ended up getting the Japanese wasabi rice bowl, catch basket, and the cabo calamari.... Next time we go. We will explore the menu a bit more.
(3)Noelle J.
the world according to noelle ~2012~ On a weekday, dined at Pacific Catch with my family. We started with: Warm Edamame Korean Sticky Ribs Our order: Hawaiian Poke (starter dish, served as my main dish for lunch) Korean Barbecue w/ marinated skirt steak Hawaiian Teriyaki w/ grilled chicken breast Iced Tea Lemongrass Infused Tea Desserts: Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls We arrived on a rather warm day, throughout the whole meal it felt as if the air conditioning wasn't working at all which made for an unpleasant dining experience. Our server also mentioned that in general their air conditioning doesn't work well. I'm not a fan of dining in a rather warm/hot room, so I guess my next dining experience will be late morning or when the weather is cooler. So if you don't like dining in a warm room- this isn't the restaurant for you. We started with the warm edamame which was a great starter, along with the Korean Sticky Ribs which were tender, fall off the bone and simply delicious. I LOVED the Hawaiian Poke- the fish was fresh, the marinate was delicious and the wonton crisps were fried to perfection. I tried my family member's Korean Barbecue w/ marinated skirt steak and absolutely loved it- seasoned well, and the steak was very tender. Did try my other family member's Hawaiian Teriyaki but it also got raves from people who tried it. The Macadamia Nut Brownie was a failure of a dessert, there was an unnecessary amount of whipped cream, weak tasting fudge sauce and a serious lack of ice cream. Our server misinformed us and told us we should order TWO Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls to share among three people- this was bad considering ONE order would have been fine. The Fried Dulce de Leche Spring Rolls were filled with a creamy and delicious dulce sauce and served with a delicious ice cream (different from my other family member's sundae). Not pleased with the hair I found in my rolled up cloth napkin when we first started our meal. Our server was attentive in the start but started to fade as our meal winded down- I had to get up and ask her for more chocolate sauce for my cousin's sundae (she was shooting the breeze with other customers, and at this point the restaurant was nearly empty). Good food, so-so customer service. Will give them another try, possibly. Noelle's Notes Good food So-so customer service Lacks good ventilation. They need to fix their air conditioning!!!
(3)Dat N.
lunch: cedar plank salmon - $15. ceviche 3 ways - $12. Food was OK for the price, though not spectacular. Reminds me of Cheesecake Factory level franchise quality without the tall grandeur dining area.
(3)Tim C.
Fresh and tasty! Came here for lunch ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich with spicy fries. It had this jalapeno tarter sauce which was delicious and fries were seasoned heavily but regardless very tasty. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for some place with nice decor when enjoying western style cooked seafood.
(4)Hiroyuki T.
I had a Japanese wasabi rice bowl. It was good.
(4)AnhThu D.
Hawaiian teriyaki chicken bowl and salmon salad pretty tasty!-fried dulce lece with vanilla ice cream was worth the calories !!! Since my draft, I've also had the opportunity to come back and have the korean ribs, YUMMERS
(5)Paul M.
I don't give five stars but this place earned it! I don't know how they can give such great service at these prices and the food is fresh + delicious. Had a res. showed up early and was seated immediately. Server was so nice. The food came out so quickly it startled me. Here's why I gave five stars: they had Dungeness crab as it was in season. I go crabbing with my boat and traps and do very well and for this reason usually refuse to buy it. Even won't buy them live out of a tank cause I can taste the tank water. But my wife wanted me to suck it up and try it so I did. This is as close as you can get to caching your own crab! Tastes the same! Next time I'm in the state this won't be a stop. It will be a destination!
(5)Miyako L.
Great place for a hip, healthy, fresh dinner. When they sit you down, you are served a tiny platter of cold edamame beans and pretzel goldfish (that lasted a whole 30 seconds between the two of us). We quickly ordered drinks in celebration of it finally being Friday night...after a long work week. I had the Mai Tai and the hubs had Kamikaze Bloody Mary. Both drinks were refreshing, but didn't necessarily warrant the $11-12 price. We ordered a spicy tuna roll for our appetizer, which was pretty good. For dinner I had a large organic salad topped with Hawaiian style poke. The salad was huge and had a really tasty dressing. I would definitely order it again! My husband's dinner (Korean skirt steak rice bowl) was yummy, but he was still hungry afterward :( He said he would have ordered something different if he knew it was going to be so small. They also have an awesome selection of on-tap local brews that are all decently priced. Overall I'd give Pacific Catch a 3.75 . The clean food, nice wait staff and decent menu will keep us coming back for more.
(4)May O.
I am a fan. Great new place in the Pruneyard. We came for dinner on a weeknight. Although parking lot was full, we were able to get a table. I order the 2 taco plate (Baja and shrimp). The shrimp taco was very tasty, the Baja was ok, but too much sauce. My BF got the fried combo plate with sweet potato fries. He ate everything on his plate, which is rare. The service was fantastic, the host/mgr seated us and came back when he noticed that we had placed our menu on the table to ask if we were ready to order even though he was not our server. We will definitely be back to try other foods on the menu.

I got 7 weeks to get my beach body because I'm going to Vegas for a bachelors party, and I'm not gonna be at the pool with: a. my man boobs out b. a shirt on covering up my man boobs Diet is in order. Came here on the first day of Operation Lose Man Boobs And Tummy In Order To Look Nice In Vegas (OLMBATIOTLNIV). Went inside and was greeted by the hostess. Was told a 15 to 20 minute wait. More like 10. Ordered the Hawaiian Teriyaki rice bowl with grilled Mahi Mahi. The Mahi Mahi was really good and the Teriyaki sauce was great. I opted for brown rice instead of white rice. Plenty of veggies in the bowl. A great way to start OLMBATIOTLNIV. The service was really good and all in all, I had a nice fairly healthy (I should've opted for half veggies half brown rice) dinner.
(5)Connie C.
Came here twice within the last year. My husband and I recently relocated and now we're super close to the Pruneyard. We came here for dinner both times, and both enjoyed our food. So far, the hubs has had their Korean Ribs rice bowl and their Vietnamese Sandwich, Both are super tasty. The ribs are good, but definitely on the sweeter side. The sandwich is spicy!! Not for the faint of heart. I really enjoy their fish and shrimp tacos. Full of flavor and super fresh seafood. You just can't go wrong with that. This place gets super crowded--doesn't matter what day of the week. If you're going with a huge group, you need to make a reservation. Good service and good food. I'm happy.
(4)Ionakana H.
Interior: 9/10, Food: 8.5/10, Service: 8/10. Been here a couple of times. Fish is fresh, food is tasty, but the portions are small. This place gets very busy on the weekends so the waiters are very busy. You need to flag them down if you want to order more food. Nice place to take out of town guests for something different.
(4)Yvette T.
I love Poke! I'm always on a quest for poke and Pacific Catch popped up on Yelp so of course I had to check it out! We ordered: - Poke trio (ahi poke, shrimp ceviche, fresh catch ceviche[today was bay scallops]) - BBQ pork sandwich 1. Ahi poke was ok. I probably wouldn't order it again unless I was REALLY craving tuna. They give you large, fresh chunks of tuna mixed with soy sauce, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Served with wonton chips. I'd give it 3 stars. 2. Shrimp ceviche was a little better (read little). It was nice and refreshing because of tons of lime juice but it wasn't really a ceviche because they blanch the shrimp first and mix it - which basically makes it a cocktail, not ceviche. Served with tortilla chips. 3 stars 3. Bay scallop ceviche with coconut(?), avocado and black pepper oil. This one really spicy. it was very well seasoned and not too rich. However it was pretty one-note and boring after awhile. Served with purple potato chips. 3.5 stars 4. BBQ pork sandwich- average at best. The pork was soft but bland and the sauce wasn't enough to mask the dryness. It came with a decent coleslaw and YUMMY spicy french fries. 4 stars for this dish because the fries saved it. I really wanted to give this place 3 stars because the prices are ok, food is ok and portions are decent. However the service is stellar and the location for me is convenient. So for now, it's 4 stars overall :)
(4)Stephanie P.
I'm not sure what's going on with the restaurant these days but the rolls are inconsistent and the service could be much better. Tatum was my server. I openly expressed my disappointment at the end of my meal and nothing was done. I worked as a server while in college, so I know what good customer service looks like. This was not my experience! I clearly explained that the last 3 times that I visited I ordered the same roll and each time it came out raw when no tempura was requested, but this time it came out cooked. I'm not a fan of cooked rolls so of course I ate one and was done. She simply asked if I wanted a box and I said no. I'm sorry but knowing the situation and understanding that my expectations weren't met, she could have asked the manager to apply a discount or coupon for the next visit at the very least. I left very disappointed and it's not about the money, it's the principle.
(1)L M.
Expensive but so yummy! Drinks were good! Food was delicious. Server was knowledgeable about menu!! That is always a plus because we don't know what to get and want to know what's good! A little upscale but so yummy! Not from around town and wanted something good And this place hit the spot! Should give it a try once. Opened late! We were there Saturday night until almost 11!! Love it
(5)Laura P.
I would have given this review 5 stars if our server was Tony each and every time. However, its not, and we dont always have the friendliest waiters. Overall, great food, nice ambiance, and decent service. But, we really love Tony! He used to be a bartender and now he is a manager. A little pricey for those that are conscious of that.
(4)Brandon L.
We gave this place a try tonight as we want something fresh and seafood. Found it on Yelp and came on weeknight dinner. We got seated right a way but the restaurant was crowded. Decoration remind me of Hawaii restaurant theme. I ordered the trio tacos and it was good. I like the shrimp taco the most. My husband ordered Vietnamese Steak Sandwich and it was good also. We ordered the coconut shrimp for appetizer and it was good. Overall, we likes the food and the ambiance. Price wise is a bit high but not too bad.
(4)Cass D.
I went back. I was only in town for a week, and despite that... I went back. Both times I had tacos mix and match; the first time I enjoyed their ceviche. I guess you could probably say that it is a bit pricey but I wasn't in the mood to care since I had so many other not-so-great dining experiences on my trip.
(4)Kavita R.
HORRIBLE service tonight. Messed up on drinks, entrees, and dessert and did nothing to fix the problem -- although they did acknowledge all of the problems. So disappointed!!!
(1)Big K.
Great friendly service, nice ambiance, food was good but not amazing... But I'd go again!
(3)Nicole W.
Rating: 2.5 It was ok. The menu didn't wow me. It was hard to decide what to order because nothing sounded good. I guess I'm not into asian-mexi-hawaiian seafood fusion. Appetizer: Started with the poke which had good flavor and great salty won ton skins but the tuna chunks were way to big. Had to cut most pieces in half in order to get them down. Drinks: Hubby's margarita was super small full of ice and overpriced. Tangerine wheat beer was good. Mains: I ended up with the tacos, hubby had the salmon. He liked his, mine was nothing special. They really overhauled the look of the place and the service was good but I miss L@A.
(3)Erik K.
Always have had a good experience here. Food is great and they have some nice happy hour dishes. Good drinks good staff and good prices.
(4)Violet V.
I tried the California Roll and some of the "Ecstasy" roll. Tasty. The servers were very nice it seemed very busy even on a Tuesday night but they were very efficient. The decorations/vibe inside was nice as well. :)
(5)Mark B.
WARNING - food poisoning risk My wife ordered opah and I ordered the mahi-mahi rice bowl. She noticed I'd turned very red shortly after leaving the restaurant. We both had horrible diarrhea when we got home less than an hour later. This was a $60 enema for us - won't ever go back again!
(1)cindy b.
My girlfiends and I met up there on a Monday night. The place was packed. We ordered appetizers - the spicey tuna rolls - delish! The Coconut prawns - pretty good, could have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds earlier. I had the Tortilla soup - so delish with all the flavors - chicken, prawn, jalapeno peppers, lime, chicken broth etc - I ordered a bowl to go so I could eat more the next day. My GF's ordered taco's - they said they were delish as well. We split a pitcher of margarita's. I would like it if they could blend - but they have no blender. Very good. I'll be back with my hubby.
(4)Anya F.
Since my first review, I have eaten here about ten thousand times. Fantastic: spring roll dessert, brown rice Excellent: thai bowl, green thai sauce, mahi mahi (when not overcooked), pan-crusted sole, service, ahi poke appetizer (before they revamped, re: defiled, with a bunch of chopped cucumber), fish tacos, basil aioli, decor, restaurant layout Pretty Good: mahi mahi with tomato-lemon topping Terrible: artichoke, getting your bowl with half greens (it's mostly lettuce) Tuesday's are half-priced bottles of wine. Make sure to use the punch card app! Best restaurant in Pruneyard (not saying a lot)
(5)Adriana I.
food was delcious, nice interior, service was pretty weak but not the worst- just only saw our waiter once every 25 mins. im definitley going back to eat though had a trio of poke for an app: -something serrano - pass on this one tasted like tuna salad -lomi lomi - the best! id go back for this one, similar to traditional poke -white tuna- pretty good mild tuna taste and a lot of citrus flavors for dinner i had : an ahi tuna wasabi bowl with 1/s brown rice 1/2 greens: sooooo tasty each bite had a diff flavor and the 1/2 and 1/2 combo i wasnt too full of rice they had some good looking cocktails on their menu and if i was drinking that night i would have definitley tried, but ill save it for another night. mid way pricey but what good seafood isnt. cant wait to go back.
(4)John S.
It was a Sunday evening at 6, and with our reservation, we were seated about 10 minutes after arriving. The sushi was surprisingly good and the "bowls" were quite ample. It seemed like our waiter had too many tables, as he didn't check in once after our meal was served. This place isn't romantic, yet is a fine place for an abundant meal with adequate service.
(3)Steve T.
Awesome decor, ambience, even the bathroom were nice. The service was excellent and the food creative and tasty. Had the copper river salmon with green mango salad and Asian eggplant. Buddy had the Ono and both these dishes were great. My favorite part was the free bottles of sparking and still water they offer. Could be the best value for seafood and ambience in the Bay Area.
(4)Christine S.
There Hawaiian Poke is awesome! Atmosphere is great! Service is always enjoyable. Recommend this place for sure. It is a little pricy though. After a 2 meals and drinks it adds up fast.
(4)Tony L.
Welcome to the suburbs! Filled with happy hours, greasy appetizers, and semi-decent sushi rolls, Pacific Catch is everything you expect from a chain joint, tucked away in a strip mall. And it's not bad. Think of this place as an updated Fish Market, with a hipper atmosphere and an interior facelift. But it's not great either, lacking that personal touch, and that elusive ingredient called love that all chains and their thousand calorie entrees lack. I came here with a few coworkers for happy hour a couple weeks ago. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. In the end, it was pretty forgettable.
(3)Stephanie H.
I had been craving seafood and saw this place had good reviews and was dog friendly. Apparently the outdoor patio is not attatched to the main dinning area b/c our server had to keep coming out the front door to attend to us. We also brought our 15 month old daughter and were offered high chair, but she was fine to chill in the stroller beside the table. We were brought cold shelled edemame to start and they put pretzel goldfish crackers on the plate, very thoughtful. We split the Cabo Calimari to start, let the server know my husband isn't a big fan of spicy and he brought is tater sauce along with the chipotle dip it comes with. Along with the squid they batter and fry chillis and lemon slices, it was interesting and I would order it again. We also split the rising sun roll which was also good. I like how they serve water, from an unmarked blue wine bottle which they leave (I tend to blow through my water fast). Our bill came out to $30 after tax and tip, but we aren't big eaters, i doubt it would have been enough food for most couples, so kinda pricey.

You will love this place. Lovely people and good place for groups and friends. I and a few others friends come here occasionally and spend some time together having lunch and talk for hours. The food tastes goos and the environment is so relaxing. At night time it gets a bit crowded.

Very good food! Nice atmosphere, a tad noisy - but the service and food make up for it :) Gabriel was our server and was very attentive. We started with the coconut Thai shrimp= excellent. And also the Baja Shrimp ceviche=very good. For dinner I had the grilled salmon salad=superb! My husband had the two taco meal with beans and a side salad. They give a choice which tacos you can have (mix/match) so he had mahi mahi and the cabo shrimp= he said they were very good! For dessert- the fried dulce de leche spring rolls. Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce covering it- mmmmmm. We definitely shall return!

Great environment for an lunch date. As an decoration plus the water was presented in a beautiful blue bottle. They have great 4 star service due to some special request I made. I was on a date lunch and ordered the sword fish special. The fish was cooked with perfect heat but as for the flavor it was a little bland. Pieces of the fish slide off perfectly just missing seasoning. On the side I ordered an typical tea. Which unfortunately came out to be very plain tea. No remote tropical drop in the tea. The waiter was very nice in switching another glass to see if the flavor changed. But disappointingly it was the same but I did gave them a star for the effort. The rice bowl which my date ordered was good which would of bump up to an four star if she reviewed.

I am staying at the Pruneyard and wanted to take advantage of the ability to actually WALK somewhere for dinner instead of scouring the streets for my next meal. Lucky for me, Pacific Catch is literally right next door! As I am walking towards the entrance at a rather early time (6:30), I was blown away by how busy and loud the restaurant is! Good sign. Since its so busy I decide to get my meal to go and order with the nice hostess up front. I ended up ordering two tacos... The steak and the shrimp (grilled not fried) that come with a side salad (hold the fries!) and an order of the original poke ahi salad. They were pretty busy so I waited a little bit for the food but good things come to those who wait, right? Eventually I'm handed a giant bag of fishy goodness and out the door I go. Once back in my room I examine and devour my goodies. The steak taco by far was the best taco of the two. It is moist, flavorful and even a bit spicy with its sriracha aioli. I could eat a bag full. The grilled shrimp taco had a bite with its lime crema and perfectly grilled shrimp. The ahi app comes with wontons that are full of flavor and the ahi is plentiful. I couldn't even finish the order was so large! I'm thinking that could be a meal alone for this girl... And I may even go back tomorrow for round two! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It was very busy and by the time I left there was a 45 minute wait on a freaking Monday! You know it's good when people are willing to wait that long on a weeknight. Don't be surprised if you see me checking in again tomorrow night for a delicious, and healthy, dinner!

My boyfriend and I come here very often. The food is great. The combo of salad-items and rice actually work really well. I love the sushi and the rice bowls. The Korean BBQ dish has to be my favorite. I recommend the bubble milk tea. They also have some pretty good brands of beers on tap. The food also seems like it would be healthy, and I love the atmosphere here.
(5)michael m.
I've eaten here 4 times now and 3 times it has been a positive experience. But I spoke with many other regulars and the general sentiment is when it's on, it's on. When it's not? Way off. I agree, it can be way off. However, the flavor and quality is great. The ambiance is ok though loud.
(3)Christina T.
Ahi poke bowl will fill you up
(3)T. S.
Great service. The menu was explained thoroughly since none of us had ever been here before. Our server was spot on with the special orders we needed which is important when there are food sensitivities. We ordered a variety of food for five of us and everyone enjoyed all of it. Even separate checks were not a problem.
(4)Lewis C.
Not bad. But probably won't be hurrying back here. Korean rib appetizer was good, but on the salty side and definitely overpriced (see: Straits Cafe and E&O Trading Company for the right way to do these and at a better price). Spicy tuna roll was very good. Fish and chips were good, but nothing spectacular and serving size was small. Two of us had soft taco plates and the best one was the shrimp taco. Service was spotty. I could see why this place would be popular. Lots of menu choices. But overall food quality was just average.
(3)Marco O.
helloo happy hour!! First thing's first- MAKE A RESERVATION! idk why, but i think it's awesome to say.. " hi, my name is Marco and I have a reservation for 9pm. usually my girl says, "wow.. you actually planned it?! " LOL!.. but she's crazy though.. so idk. I brought her here a while back, she had the California Salmon sandwich and I had the Grilled Salmon salad then we had a couple drinks.. mai-tai for me and long island for her.. great food! moist salmon & not over cooked plus her sandwich came piled .. and i mean PILED, she had to unhinge her jaw to bite! plus it came out quickly and the service was tip top! *i stand corrected, water is PURIFIED:) * I like their blue water bottles they leave on yr table, although it isn't purified water- at least I don't have to wait 10mins. if i'm choking on food:) nice touch! Atmosphere was calm and somewhat quieter than I expected, it was a rainy day so it was rather romantic .. -meh, not really.. the asian kids next to us started irritating their dad and you know what happens when asian dads get irritated, they get LOUD. So thanks for nothing LOUD guy, you just killed my chances of action. I hate you. let's eat eat eat!!
(4)Katrina V.
Sushi for the unculctured. Sorry, but I just can't hang with all the glowing reviews of this place. When I first came in, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor. It's pretty swank inside. Service is, for lack of a better word..weird. Not exactly BAD, but not GOOD... When you sit down, you get a little plate with peeled edamame and....pretzel goldfish?? Uh, OK... Had the fish & chips, it tasted OK at first but worse as I kept eating. The fries were more like fries than chips, they were small fries. Soggy. The fish was poorly cut..one end of one of my pieces was HUGE while the rest of the piece was evenly cut... My friend had a roll with tuna...fish was not fresh. :(
(2)Heidi S.
Came here on a Friday night, was a 10minute wait to be seated for 2. Ordered too much food, but at least got to try a little of everything from: fish tacos, forgot what my bf ordered, wine, beer, 2 appetizers, & soup. Everything was delicious. We were seated outside, ambiance was great, & service was just right! I will definitely be coming back, im actually upset i did not come visit this place sooner. Lots to chose from!
(5)Julia C.
Did you know everyone is closed on 4th of July? Ok, well I didn't. After 1.5 hours of circling to find a decent place to eat with outside seating (for the dog) we happen upon this place. It is in the same location Left at Albaquerque used to be, but the food, decor and service are all a vast improvement on that miserable place. I can vouch for the lemongrass mojito and California roll salad (deconstructed roll in shape of a salad with tons of fresh crab meat), mochi fondue, and coffee (served in French press and really good). The spicy tuna roll wasn't the greatest but it took the edge off our hunger so we could enjoy the other dishes. My husband really liked his tacos (huge) and spicy fries. The bill wasn't small ($67 before tip) but we did have a lot of food, so you can definitely do it for less if you want to. Oh, they also brought a water bowl for our dog, so that's a major plus.
(4)Melissa M.
This place is really fantastic. I've been here 3 times now, and have had a great experience each time. A few notes: It's freakin awesome that they let you sub brown rice for their (killer!) sushi rolls. What a nice touch :) Elizabeth was our server on the last visit, and she's really great. I haven't had that level of service in a long time, and her style is very genuine and personable without being restaurant-campy. The pan asian bowls are excellent, and big enough for two meals. I got the green Thai curry with mahi mahi, it was absolutely perfect. Just the right amount of curry to make sure the flavor/texture is there, but still make the dish taste fresh and light. Lots of interesting/different flavors in the bowl, enough to bring some home or share, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The cocktails here are really nice too - I love love love the lemongrass mojito. The sweet potato fries are delicious, made even more so with the accompanying sauces. The Peruvian ceviche is perfect - with just the right amount of spice. The only downside is it's a bit expensive to visit as often as I'd like...but only by a touch. A mid-week happy hour with discounts on rolls or appetizers would be really cool, I definitely be down to abuse that :) I have to put a small plug in here for sustainability: I've overheard people making claims that this place serves "all sustainable seafood"...and that's unfortunately not true (yet). A restaurant with this level of appeal and clear culinary talent could really help drive awareness, and I'll be thrilled if they put more of a focus on serving/promoting sound fisheries and fisheries practices. It's not the job the restaurant to build consumer awareness, but they do have the opportunity to have a real affect on their clients. I'd love to see them experiment with this!
(5)Rebecca W.
Kiwi Flash and the Pisco Sour are my favorite at this bar. All of the food here is extremely fresh. We frequent P.C. minimum, twice a month and the staff is always friendly. One bartender remembered our drink order after the first time coming here. Favorite restaurant in Campbell...hand down.
(5)Laina W.
This place was a pleasant surprise! Wandered in without a reservation at 8pm on a Tuesday, were seated immediately. I was able to stick to my diet easily, ordered a wasabi rice bowl with no rice, all veggies and it was definitely enough food and VERY fresh and tasty. My husband had a Thai curry rice bowl and he was very happy with his food. I wasn't expecting much for a restaurant in the Pruneyard (they're all generic chains, you know?), but I would go back. The bill was lower than expected, the food was better than expected, and the service was decent all around. Really not a bad introduction! Hit the spot.
(4)Zania A.
I was there last week and was amazing, the waiter Raul was really nice, polite and also his recomendation was delicius. I got the steak taco and mahi taco platter and my bf got the local sole w/mash potatoes and asparragus. Btw I loved the kiwi flash drink. Definitely one of my best places to eat...
(5)Steve B.
Great selections, our kids loved their menu as well. Service was prompt. Will return soon!
(5)Christine E.
I really enjoy this place. The wait is always worth it. They do not take reservations for small parties but will for larger parties (This is a NEW thing for them because they use to). The food is always good and the service excellent every time. I am a frequent diner of the Campbell location. It seems the best time to go is for a late supper during the week nights. Friday evenings can be quite crowded and the wait time can be up to 1.5 hours. Unfortunately parking is not that great in the shopping center where it is located in the Pruneyard. The parking ratio to establishments is just not enough. My observation is that this place is family friendly and a "girls hangout" Seems like a lot of girlfriends like to meet here for dinner! So if you are looking for a place to have "girls night out" this is a hot spot. It is also great for get together with friends (with kids) or not. I have had just about everything on the menu. The Pan-Asian rice bowls are all yummy - my favorite is the Thai Curry with Salmon. The Grilled Salmon and California Roll salads are very filling and delicious. The fish tacos are the perfect portion with a nice slaw and sweet potato fries. Don't for get to save a little room for dessert - I really enjoy the Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae! It's big enough to share! It can get loud, so be aware that it may be difficult to have conversations with your date! Maybe a late dinner where it's not so crowded would be best to take a date here. 6:00 PM is peak after 9 is good. The decor is nice and atmosphere is modern. I would make a suggestion that the management put outdoor benches outside for people to sit and wait. That would be a nice touch.
(5)Mike M.
One of my new favorite places to eat. The cuisine reminds me alot of dining in Hawaii. My favorite, hands down, is the ahi poke bowl. The taste is divine, the portions generous, and the presentation eye-catching. A close second is the seared ahi sandwich, which comes with a side of sweet potato fries; but really, it's the wasabi spread that makes this sandwich. The decor is sleek and contemporary, the restaurant is kid-friendly, although parking can be difficult at times. Also, make sure to place reservations, specially if you're dining at peak times.
(5)Mark O.
The ceviche trio is always worth the trip! everything else pales.
(2)Jane R.
Not your ordinary or 'better' fish-market-type of place...this place is GREAT! Innovative and fun seafood choices! I usually do not like cooked fish, but I do now! Thank goodness for this chef's fusing of modern, lighter-style technique with pan-Asian flavors! But that's not the end of the story. This chef takes the best from around the world in flavor. Mexico? Check! India? Check! Thai? Check! Hawaii? Check! etc. Our dishes were surprisingly flavorful, fresh and prepared perfectly. We tried a rice-bowl dish adjusted to include 1/2 lettuce along with the brown rice. MMMMM. The fish taco's were prepared two ways and an accompanying order of grilled brussel spouts rounded out the meal. Nice! There's a full bar filled with people happily awaiting their table, or eating off of the bar menu. Welcome to the Willow Glen/Campbell dining scene Pacific Catch! We've been waiting for you!
(4)Mike S.
Love this place! Service was great. Food was excellent, especially the poke. Great concept of having many flavors of poke to choose from. We selected the trio where we got to pick three flavors. Loved it and the wonton chips were a pleasant surprise with onion flavor.
(5)Maricar A.
Hubby and I were craving for some ceviche and seafood, and since most of the reviews are 4 stars, thought we should try it. Nothing special really. Food is ok, and service is missing! We ordered the trio ceviche sampler, all salty but my hubby liked the Peruvian ceviche. California roll... Blah! I had salmon salad, it's not as good as expected. My hubby's fish n chips with coconut shrimp and fried oysters were not a hit either. We also ordered some drinks - mojito lemonade and its all ice. The worst of all is the service... No one was cleaning our table even after we finish our appetizers. They brought out our entree and we had to ask twice for someone to clear the empty plates on our table. Would not return.
(2)Amy W.
Pacific Catch is nice on a warm summer day. The best foods here do not need to be served hot and the restaurant has a great patio for outdoor dining. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. But, the food here is just OK. My friend and I ordered the baja shrimp ceviche (but somehow ended up with the sampler) and the poke rice bowl to share. Pan-Asian Rice Bowl - Japanese Wasabi with Poke (wakame salad, avocado, daikon sprouts, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, shredded nori & soy-wasabi sauce): I love the combination of flavors in the bowl. My biggest complaint was the rice: it was mushy. Rice is an easy thing to make so this was inexcusable. Ceviche - I asked for the Baja Shrimp Ceviche but somehow the waiter thought he heard Pacific Ceviche Trio. So, we got to sample the Peruvian Ceviche and the Poke as well. Be warned that this sampler is almost twice as expensive as one ceviche (luckily, I complained since they got our order wrong and they only charged us for the shrimp ceviche). Nothing really stood out from the ceviches except for the won ton crisps - they were very nice with the ceviches. I don't know people love the shrimp ceviche so much. It was just OK. The spices in the Peruvian Ceviche were a little better. I probably wouldn't get any of the ceviches again.
(2)Lisa C.
Great discovery within The Pruneyard shopping center! Pacific Catch has a nice atmosphere - not too casual, yet not too formal. I'd say more like "business casual." Perfect to go with a 5-year old child and get some sort of atmosphere during lunch. There is a nice patio area for seating. Upon sitting down, the waitress brings complimentary edamane (shelled) and pretzel goldfish crackers. Strange combination, but it works, especially to keep a child busy. I've had the Vietnamese Beef sandwich both times that i've been there. The bread is so soft and flavorful; loved the beef and the crunchy veggies inside the sandwich. And, the sauce. Spicy. The dish came with choice of french fries, spicy fries, or sweet potato fries. Good value and portion size for the price. We've also tried one of their rolls as an appetizer. Large portion and tasty. My husband has ordered their fish tacos. He says that it was good. I'd enjoy going back more for brunch and have a drink or two with my meal. They have a full bar. A good restaurant in Campbell with a different menu (more Asian inspired) than chain restaurants. Loved it!
(4)E M.
Was kinda excited to try this place. My boyfriend and I left very disappointed. The food is below-average Asian fusion of some sort. While our waiter was pleasant enough, we waited an unusually long time for our food to arrive. Worse, after a meal neither of us enjoyed, we waited a full 20 minutes after finishing our meal for our check to arrive. I wondered if he forgot about us. Mind you, this was around 11:30 AM on a rainy Saturday. The place was not even close to being busy. And lastly-the prices are very high, especially for food that basically sucked. Yeah...so we won't be returning.
(1)Yvonne N.
I really enjoyed dinner at Pacific Catch on a Friday night!!! I made reservations and was sat immediately. I have no complaints about this restaurant, all the dishes we ordered were great and the yelp reviews are accurate. We couldn't decide if the place was more Asian or Mexican influenced serving fish and seafood dishes but it works! Just the hubby and I and we ordered the trio ceviche and appetizer and special crab louise with clam chowder. Not sure why but we were starting to get full but had to order dinner for the full experience. Then he had the taco platter with fish and steak, I enjoyed the steak, I ordered the special (there was some event for the week) sole with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion was surprisingly good two whole fillets and the sauce was tasty. Regardless of how full my belly was, no surprise but I ordered and killed the tres leche spring rolls! Haha Definetly will be going back as all the food was fresh and on point with reasonable prices. Helpers check out the place but make reservations, great restaurant in Campbell.
(4)Michael W.
PROS: + Great Tacos CONS: - Sweet potatoes fries are soft I came here and had their Island Taco (3 tacos), Traditional Baja, Mahi Mahi and Pacific Steak. They were all good well prepared. The steak was moist and juicy, but needed a bit of seasoning. The traditional baja and Mahi Mahi were moist and not overcooked. The sweet potato fries were not too fantastic. They lacked crispiness and would have been better if seasoned with a bit more salt. I would come back here for the tacos, good stuff.
(3)Darrell W.
Was happy to see that something finally took left and alba's place. Food was very tasty, the seafood combo platter! the seviche sampler is very good as well. lively atmosphere and great service. only reason for not giving 5 stars is the restroom was a mess when i used it, maybe it was just bad timing ? all well, great eat.
(4)Joyous I.
I had an amazing meal here 3 days ago. From drinks to appetizers to the main course(s) and dessert, we were excited and happy to taste everything. There are plenty of exotic and unique drink options for alcohol- and non-alcohol drinkers alike. Vegetarians, pescatarians, and carnivores will all find plenty of delightful things to sink their teeth into. Our reservation was ready as soon as we walked in the door and the service was excellent. The ambience is very relaxed and at the same time full of energy. The mixture of guests there was great, from children to older adults. The noise level is moderate, mostly because the delicious food put every one in such a good mood. Check out the photos I posted to see (most) of our meal and check out the menu to see what's in store for you!! Will be going back again & again!!
(5)Sam C.
Located in Pruneyard in campbell, this place has a fresh and inviting atmosphere. But, as much as my friend loves this place, i think it's just okay. I've been to this one and the one in SF and both times left me with the same conclusion. This place is just okay. While the Poke and many of the appetizers were good, my Entree wasn't. The fish was just kinda bland.
(3)Scott W.
We eat here about every 2 weeks and like it a lot. Our picky teenager is just learning to like fish, and the high quality seafood here has helped him expand his eating choices. The tacos are all good, our other teenagers like the sushi choices, the mahi mahi sandwich is my favorite, and the mai tais are some of the best I've ever had.
(4)Sherrie Rose M.
This place is great, though I always feel like I only order one or two things on their menu. The ambiance is really nice. Our waitress last night, Anj, was very attentive and good at her job. I got the crispy oyster basket last night which is super yummy if you like oysters. My husband got the Thai Curry bowl with extra chicken and it was too big for him to eat, so lucky for him he has leftovers. I often get the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl with skirt steak which is also delicious. Or more rarely, I get the salmon salad which comes with salmon skin croutons. Yummy!
(4)Kim D.
I wanted to love this place, but the building made more of an impression than it's food. We slid in here on a Monday in the middle of our Monday Funday (which is different from Sunday Funday, because you make a trip to Marshall's next door). We got here right as Happy Hour began. Happy Hour menu looked like it would have been promising. We ordered: Shiso Fine ($6) Sushi Roll French Fries ($4) - Spicy Rub (we also got the Sweet Potato ones for free, because we checked into Foursquare) Pacific Punch ($9) Spicy Tuna Roll ($6) Edamame ($4) Peruvian Ceviche ($6, I believe) Sushi rolls were decent, but it didn't stand out as finely made sushi. The rolls were really limp, and the rice was a bit soggy as the rolls took place on our table over time. The edamame which can be hard to fuck up, but somehow the salt relegated to the middle of it. Ceviche, I wasn't pleased and the french fries should have 1.) came out on time 2.) been more impressive, for offering three types. Maybe they were a more interesting side dish to go with fish. My friend loved her Pacific Punch, it was almost like jungle juice. We had a Mochi Fondue which was masqueraded as mochi ice cream with chocolate sauce to dip (even Sonoma Chicken Coop knows fondue deserves a tea light in lieu of the proper equipment). Service was good, everyone was nice - but our server was also the bartender so it was a bit absent. We eventually also had another server during our meal not knowing as the other one left, I think. But however, the major flaw was on part of the manager--he walked by us numerous times and even as our bill sat out for probably 10-12 minutes, he couldn't even have bothered to pay attention. If the manager of a place walks by a table numerous and can't notice a bill waiting to be paid, someone is doing their job wrong. I might be inclined to try this date, perhaps on a date since the building is so nice--but other than that my first impression might be my last.
(2)Benson M.
A bit pricey but the service is 2 thumbs up and the rice bowl is AMAZING!!!
(5)Mai V.
Casual place with good food, I wonder why there aren't more places like this? We were a little worried about the wait since we were going with a group of 5 for lunch on a Sunday but there were a few open tables when we got there. We ended up sitting at the bar since football was on. The food here is made really well and more importantly it's fresh. Our bartender/server, Jenny recommended the cucumber martini and it was sooooo good and refreshing! I could seriously become an alcoholic with this drink. Thanks Jenny for the recommendation, I'll make sure to send you my AA bill. I love their menu! It's very simple so it makes it easier to order. We ordered the Hawaiian Poke (yes, we had to see what all the hype was all about) for the table to share and it was very fresh and good. I had the shrimp tacos and I LOVE IT! Ever since I've been back from Ensenada 2 years ago, I've been trying to find a place that made deep fried battered shrimp tacos. Taste almost as good as the authentic ones from Mexico. Overall, good service, fresh and delicious food, what more can I ask for?
(4)Catherine C.
Went here again and had the special. Salmon. One of the best dishes I've had.
(5)Daniel W.
Its like the PF Changs of Asian fusion. Hell of a lot better than Elephant Bar. We had the coconut shrimp, which were good. Shrimp taco was good The Baha taco had too much green sauce but was better than the mahi mahi The Mahi Mahi taco was gross, too much rub, too much sauce The fish and chips was meh. The california rolls while rolled good, were only as good as Safeways The cheesecake eggrolls tasted like the Del Taco deep fried cheesecake bites. I'd come back but I'd avoid a few pitfalls.
(3)Danielle F.
I had a really nice experience for my first trip to Pacific Catch....if you go on a weekend -make reservations! We had a 45 minute wait. However, the owner was working the front desk and making sure that everyone was seated as quickly as possible which I thought was outstanding. Although it was a cool night, we were offered seating on the uncovered patio. After the owner showed us where the seats were we decided that it would work and started our dining experience there. I love the edamame and goldfish pretzels for a little someone to start our meal and I had the California Sandwich which was good but could have used a little more flavor. I also had the hot edamame for an appetizer which was delicious. Service was excellent, and this will definitely become a spot for a date night.
(4)jim d.
After having amazing Poki in Hawaii, Pacific Catch is the closest thing to poke that replicates Uno Seafood. We ordered the Hawaiian Poke, cajun fries, and a Let's Get Saucy roll. The Hawaiian Poke appetizer was good. The soy sauce can be a tad too much, but tuni was good. The cajun fries was also great. Nothing unique about these; I'm just a fries person. The Let's Get Saucy roll didn't stand out at all. I wouldn't order this one next time. People talk about the poke bowls, so next time I'm here, that'll be on my list.
(4)Caroline B.
I work down the street, so I walk to Pacific Catch during my lunch. I'm always 100% satisfied with the food and the atmosphere. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try the ahi tuna sandwich! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the tuna is seared perfectly AND THERE ARE SLICES OF GINGER AND AVOCADO IN IT. MMMMM! Seriously mouthwatering :)
(5)James D.
What an amazing dinner date my girlfriend and i had a few nights ago here! So last month we had Pacific Catch for the first time in SF and were happy to know they had one down here at home in the south bay area. I have to start by saying the ambiance is completely different, but in a good way. It was much more elegant here at the Pruneyard versus Chestnut Street, the menu was more extensive too, I loved the dimly lit rooms, and the service was spectacular! Upon entering we were immediately seated right away in the main room in the middle area. Our waiter then noticed we were lacking of some elbow space so they moved us to a booth area that was much more comfortable. I thought wow what great service to take the additional steps to actually care about how a customer feels versus just serving them their food! Anyways the sweetie and I started off with some drinks, a few beers for me and a cocktail for her. We got our mouths watering by ordering the Rising Sun Roll which comprised of shrimp, cucumber, tuna, avocado, seaweed wrap and rice. It tasted delectable, perfect contrast of flavor and texture. The quality was that of a sushi restaurant and that's not even the main focus here. For dinner, and because I really couldn't decide, I let our waitress, Tiffany, take our order. I felt like we were putting her on the spotlight, but she shined all the way thru! Almost immediately, she started to ask us a series of questions that would lead her to her recommendations for us. That's going above and beyond, and then some! After the questions were answered, my girlfriend got the two taco platter with mahi mahi and steak alongside the best sweet potato fries ever. I got some fish called Ono? with a side of rice and beans with sour cream and some ridiculously tasty green sauce alongside some slaw type cabbage thing. The food tasted wonderfully, the ambiance was chill, not to loud but not quiet, and our waiter Tiffany, checked up on us frequently for refills and to ask us how the food was. She shared some laughs with us, talked about current events and never took more than a minute to grab us anything like napkins or condiments. It speaks volume to me how a business really feels about their customers when they take the meticulous time to hire these individuals who provide the utmost stellar service. Even while we were dining a nice older gentlemen wearing a funky bold striped shirt approached us and asked us how everything was. He must have been the owner or something. Great service definitely drips from the top here, great! But lastly, wow, I will definitely be back for the food and service. Pacific Catch is a win, and if you like fresh great food, you'd be stupid not to come here.

I had a business lunch there recently and the only one off comment I can make is that it didn't seem that the waiters knew what tables they had. We had two servers try to take our order, hey better than no servers. We were there for crabfest we ordered the dumplings, but the manager came out and said they ran out. No problem we were about to order a substitute and without hesitation the manager offered to pay for the appetizer. Nice! My guest had the crab melt and she loved it (she has a sophisticated palate from all of her chef friends) and I had the salmon BBQ sandwich of course I asked for extra coleslaw (their coleslaw rocks!). We had a great lunch!
(5)Mike N.
Went today with the family. We got the Poki trio Original good! Serrano chile meh Macadamia good Also had the shrimp ceviche was aright nothing to write home about. The sticky ribs were very good. Kids both got dessert and both were good salted caramel ice cream and lemon sorbet
(3)Byron L.
The food is okay just don't order sushi. Fish texture is not as smooth as it could be. Cocktails are not as strong as they could be.
(2)Christine N.
A new seafood favorite for me! Seafood combined with Asian/Hawaiian fusion is what captured me. The ambiance at The Pruneyard makes it fun to hang out with friends or even entertain for business. Service was great! Special Mahi was so good, and the Ahi Salad, my all time favorite was just right!

I love pacific catch. I used to go to their SF location when I lived there so I was very happy when I heard they opened one up in the S. Bay! (I wish they would do that with a lot of SF restaurants hehe). I've been to the campbell location about 5 times since it's opened (3xs for their late night happy hour 10p-closing). I love that they have a late night HH bc I can rarely make the 4-6 HHs. I do have to say, my friend was disappointed with their HH selection (good beer selection, only 2 choices for wine, well drinks etc) but I love their SHiso roll and Saucy roll! The other major plus is that have a dog friendly patio. LOVE THAT!!! The SF location is a lot more casual, tiny with very limited seating. THe campbell location is a lot bigger, with plenty of seating , tvs at the bar and nicer ambiance (i.e. dimmer lights etc). They also recently added heat lamps on their patio. Lastly the food. So I like their rolls during Happy Hour. I did notice one minor thing - my favorite, go-to dish the ahi burger came with several slices of thin ahi rather than a large slab (like the one in SF). :( I prefer the large slab of Ahi (I've found that its hard to find a restaurant that serves ahi burgers w/ the thick slabs these days - sometimes it's "ground" tuna :T ). But I haven't been to the SF location in awhile so maybe they changed it to thin slices as well. If so, boo. The ahi bowl w/ brown rice and avocado was still good. The fish taco was still good as were the sweet potato fries with their awesome selection of sauces. We went last night (Thursday night around 830pm). It was pretty empty. I know the previous Mexican restaurant in that space did not do too well. I hope PC does well in order to stay open for a very long time as it is a great addition to the South Bay. Maybe they should do BYOB like Los Altos Grill on the nights they are not busy. It would definitely sway me and my friends. :) P.S. I feel it's a healthier restaurant option compared to most places.

Love the service and ambiance. The Poke is delicious!!! I hear the ahi tuna bowl is tasty too but not quite as flavorful. Be careful though, the Vietnamese Sandwich is super spicy!

I would have to say,while the Place is extremely Yuppie-ish but looking past that the food was excellent and the service was above par.My Wassabi bowl was 2 meals in one (mmmmm lunch tomorrow)and the taste was to die for!!!!!!! The margarita's were good but don't compare to the $4.88 margarita's at Chipotle next door.

Have been waiting to try out this place for a while and was able to today, yay... The interior is decorated nicely with bits of wood and dark paint which brings a contemporary design and almost night club feel. There is a nice looking bar in the back with 2 flat screens playing the latest game. Had the Cabo Calamari to start which was just OK. A bit too much batter and not enough Calarmari. The spicy chipotle aloli sauce was also a bit salty. I'll pass on this one next time. For dinner I had the Island Tacos which were really tasty, nice overall blend of flavors that you typically do not get at your fish taco taqueria. I had the Traditional Baja which is Cod, the Mahi Mahi and the Cabo Shrimp. (Am I a pig?, no I did not have much for lunch today....=) I've also been biking lately too!) One of the differences with these tacos is that they add sauces instead of salsa. Like jalapeno tartar, lime crema, sriracha aioli, ect... The only minor fault would be that the tacos were warm, not hot when they arrived. Maybe they sat a little before they were served...but overall service and attention was good. The tacos also came with some black beans which were ordinary. I'm a fan and will be back, maybe for lunch next time... Bring your credit card, an empty stomach and make some plans to work off those calories the next day... Out of 5 stars Ambiance: ***** Service: **** Food: **** Price: ***1/2

I went to Pacific Catch for valentine's day with my husband and it was amazing; everything from the ambiance to the service was spot on. My server was friendly and attentive without hovering, and our food was delivered quickly. We ordered calamari, spicy tuna roll and tacos; everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. One of the managers, Tony, checked on us and even hand delivered my husband's cocktail. It was a great experience with exceptional service, and delicious food made with simple yet fresh ingredients

This is my favorite lunch spot in the Pruneyard for a comfortable, business lunch that is healthy, casual, fast and great quality food. I love the Ahi Poki rice bowl with 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 lettuce!
(5)Noah W.
The food, service, and atmosphere here is good, but all around just meh. I don't want to be that harsh, really. It's great for casual groups, but not intimate enough for close friends. It's like a seafood-themed TGIF with much better decor and a great wine list.

So happy they've opened up this location. Hip enough for a casual dinner out, trendy enough for a fun first date or celebration. This is the first time we dined at this location and there was about a 20 minute wait on a Saturday evening. The hostesses were very personal and nice. It was pretty packed and the table for two was really tight, especially for the amount of food we ordered. We love the sweet potato fries and the Rising Sun roll was probably the best roll we've ever had, no joke. We would have ordered a second but we both still had our Ahi Poke and Sticky Ribs bowl. The Ahi Poke was really fresh and refreshing with a good amount of poke and veggie filler. I was pleasantly surprised at the generous amount of ribs in the Sticky Ribs bowl. A tad on the salty side and overly saucy however, I did end up scooping out quite a bit of the teriyaki sauce to give my tastebuds a break. The ribs were really tender and fell off the bone though. Very nicely done. They also offer brown rice which is a bonus. All in all, a very delicious meal and we'll definitely be back. I'm glad we no longer have to trek up to the city to satisfy our poke bowl cravings.

Wow, wow, wow! In a word, this place is AMAZEBALLS! I had the pleasure of dining at Pacific Catch recently while visiting Campbell and I came away extremely impressed! The restaurant itself is not very large but it still feels very open. Hats off to the interior decorator because this place is absolutely GORGEOUS without feeling stuffy or pretentious. Most of their light fixtures are these fabulous cobalt blue glass bottles of all different shapes and sizes hanging down from long black poles/cords coming from the ceiling. The kitchen area has a slate facade which is also quite lovely. Tres cool. But, let's talk about the food... The night I dined at Pacific Catch I was part of a group of 6. Even though we did not have reservations we did not have to wait more than a few minutes for a table. Once seated, our table was stocked with "munchies" in the form of goldfish pretzel crackers and shelled edamame. The goldfish crackers were kind of quirky but my entire group gobbled them up! One person in the group ordered some sushi, a ecstasy roll, and let everyone try a piece. This roll was fantastic! Perfect flavor and very fresh fish! For my meal, I ordered the dungeness crab Louie salad. Pacific Catch is not skimpy on their crab on THIS salad and they also make their own "thousand island style" dressing in house. The salad was delicious and at points I almost wanted to ask for more dressing because it was also very tasty! All of the people in my group were also very pleased with their meal choices which included steak tacos, mahi mahi, fish and chips and Blue Tilapia. I got the chance to take a nibble off the Blue Tilapia and it was so great! For dessert, my group shared a macadamia nut brownie ala mode and some of us had egg nog ice cream. Wow, that brownie was phenomenal! I do also want to mention the waitstaff. Our waiter for the evening was very attentive without being a nuisance, he kept our water full and also gave our group some great suggestions for entrees. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name but kudos to him and the rest of the staff! I definitely can't wait until my next trip to Campbell! I will certainly go back to Pacific Catch to sample the rest of their stellar menu!

Excited for Pacific Catch to open in Campbell. It's so much easier to get there than to SF. Best poke I've had outside of Kauai.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we went in for a late dinner. Pleasantly surprised with the decor after seeing it previously as 'Left At Albuquerque'. We were seated promptly by a friendly host but then were not acknowledged by our server for at least 5-10 minutes, even after I had made eye contact with her shortly after being seated. ... That was already minus five points right there. When she finally came by, she was very nice, but later forgot to find out where the Mahi Mahi was from (we try to eat only ocean-friendly seafood). Food was mediocre: I got the Hawaiian Poke Rice Bowl and my husband got the Ahi Sandwich. He liked his sandwich, though the sweet potato fries were nothing special at all. The rice bowl was...a rice bowl. Nothing special. All in all, service and food lacks and definitely not worth the prices they charge. If service were better, I'd MAYBE be convinced to come back at least for their cocktails, but I'm not convinced yet - You're better off at Yankee Pier, and they participate in the Seafood Watch Program....

Cucumber martini -- a must try! We went during the day and there was no wait at all. They also offer online reservations, which is really helpful. We ordered the trio sampler and I heard the Peruvian ceviche was suppose to be delicious, but it was too oily for me. The Hawaiian poke was ok, and definitely not the best. Overall the food was really good and fresh. I also ordered the shrimp tacos, now those were SO DELICIOUS! I also tried their grapefruit mojito and that was REALLY good too. The bartenders are super nice! Remember to tip your bartenders!

I have mixed feelings about this place but I still go here to eat. I've eaten here about a dozen times for early lunches and to-go meals and think it's a nice alternative to the other restaurants in the area. My favorite menu items are the Korean BBQ rice bowl (half greens/half rice w/skirt steak) and the Nojito. My mother loves the Japanese Wasabi bowl with Ahi. My mixed feelings arise because I am a)From Hawaii and b)Eat a lot of different Asian food. Pacific Catch themes its food from these locations but I can only say that they are more like a fusion or re-imagination of traditional recipes. Not to say that what they come up with isn't good. It just might not be exactly what you expected. The Vietnamese Steak sandwich is sort of like a bahn mi, but with chewier thicker bread, less pickled vegetables and marinated steak as the main filling (no pate or tendons for them). The Tom Kha was very savory and wasn't as coconut milked or lemongrassed as I expected. The terikyaki sauce they use was thinner than I am used to and so had less presence in the dish, which had a bit too much oil either from the cooking, dressing, or separated sauce(?). I was pleased that they had a kid's menu. Most dishes came with vegetables and fruit as well as meat and fries, so it was a good amount of food for the munchkins. I didn't think the ambiance there was so great for kids, as most people there were straight from the office. The service is usually pretty good when we sit inside in the main area. They're very accommodating to food preferences. They ARE expensive, so I don't go here everyday. That being said, their rice bowls and salads are pretty huge.

I wanted to see what the new seafood restaurant had in store and I'm a fan. A bunch of us were meeting a fellow colleague to send him off to AZ. There were about 8 of us and I didn't make any reservations. The crew took a while to get there and by the time everyone was there, they already had a table for us. They sat us outside in the covered area with the heater up top. I made the mistake of sitting directly under the heater, which was a mistake because I was boiling by the time we left. I really like the complimentary peeled edamame and baby pretzels. I ordered 2 tacos for $11.99. The shrimp taco was good but I was expecting it not to be fried in batter. The mahi mahi taco was good but I suggest a different sauce other than the green one they used. The combination wasn't exactly the right blend of flavors. They accidentally sent me 2 shrimp tacos and ended up comping one and sent me my mahi mahi taco. The atmosphere was nice and we all had a great time. The place is very nice and modern. I will definitely be back to try a new dish.

I've been itching to try the Pacific Catch in SF for years, since its in my sister's neighborhood. Instead, one opened in Pruneyard and now I can conveniently have an SF-style dining experience within walking distance from my apartment. I've been here twice already and tried the Hawaiian poke rice bowl (brown rice option), mahi grilled entree (daily special), all the fish tacos, steak taco, dulce de leche ice cream, and several cocktails. They're all tasty, in good portions, and the fries are seasoned well. I'd probably try the fish n' chips in the future. Prices are fair and sparkling water is free. This is a place for a broad range of seafood and fusion food in a casual, modern setting - good for date nights. If I wanted sushi or maki rolls, I'd go elsewhere (specifically a sushi restaurant).
(4)Debbie V.
A great place for unique drinks and tastes ;). Parking is not that bad really.. come on!! Try the specials they tend to be awesome.

Pacific Catch at the former Left at Albuquerque Pruneyard location has now become a new "it place to go to" in Campbell! The decor is very stylish yet warm inside. It has a wonderful vibe inside. You nearly think you have been transported to somewhere in the City or LA. The best part however is the fish! I had the special Hawaiian Ono (California style) which was cooked to perfection. The prices are nearly half of what you would pay anywhere else . I have to give a special shout out to server Gilbert, he was amazing and truly loved where he worked and what Pacific Catch represents! Living in Campbell I feel real lucky to have a seafood restaurant that dares to serve different types of fish in unique and adventurous ways! I cant wait to go back again!
(4)Scott B.
We went to a movie at Camera 7 and just used the Yelp "Nearby" to find this place in the Pruneyard. It's in the location of a mexican restaurant that we never went to; beside Marshall's. Sadly it didnt' replace the "meh" El Burro. We shared crab dumplings, corn chowder with crab, Ahi tuna sandwich and baja fish tacos. Really liked everything. The interior is attractive and the place was quite busy. Service was good. We luckily got there a little early and were seated right away. They do take reservations (on Open Table). Only thing I didn't like was that they have that nasty fruit-flavored iced tea. Many things on the menu left to try! We'll be back!

Just the place we need in Campbell!! This is a great spot and different from anything else. The ambiance is nice. In between casual and fancy which is always the best. We made a reservation on open table and were sat about 5min after the reservation time. The bar in the back of the restaurant is pretty nice. They have 10 beers on tab, a variety of wine, and a full cocktail bar. They also have a decent amount of seating back there and 2 TV's for sports. As for the food, I really had a hard time deciding. All the rice bowls and fish taco's sounded awesome. I went with the Hawaiian Poke Wasabi rice bowl. I think that is the name of it... It was the first one to choose. It was delicious and actually a healthy meal which is tough to find these days at a restaurant. The poke was great and the mix with the brown rice, veggies, avocado, and seaweed were awesome. They give you free flat and sparkling water in some cool blue bottles. They also serve tiny plates of edamame and fish pretzels to get you started. The service was good, the price is right, and the food was delicious. What more do you need!
(5)Jim S.
Overall great experience on our first visit! There was a small wait when we walked in which is always a good sign to me. Just means people like the place and are willing to wait. The manager Warren greeted us at the host stand, guaranteed we wouldn't have to wait long, and suggested a drink at the bar. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, got a nice table, and we're quickly greeted by our server. The service was awesome, food and drinks were spot on and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice weekend dinner place. I would recommend to anyone! Didn't break the bank, either!
(5)Himanshu T.
Rice bowls and sushi... :)
(4)Amanda W.
My husband and I went here for the first time, it was a Friday night. We made reservations online for 8:15pm and arrived at the restaurant at 7:45pm. We told them we would be in the bar waiting and then when it was time they came and got us which was nice. The restaurant was very crowded and we got seated near the door so we could smell people smoking outside! We had Hawaiian Poke for appetizer and it was DELICIOUS!! We also had sweet potato fries (were just ok) Coconut shrimp (pretty good) and a Firecracker Salmon roll (very good but very spicy) and a Shiso Fine roll (good). Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the food.

My husband and I have been to Pacific Catch three times (and once for take-out) in the time that it has been open. We have been drawn to the impeccable service (this last time with Zach), the beautiful atmosphere and the really reasonable price structure. The food is also delicious, which also helps us return. We are so thankful that Pacific Catch is an easy walk or bike from us and plan to return again and again! Each time we've gone we've ordered the ceviche trio (it is a must). They are all beautifully seasoned and well presented. This last time, however, we felt that the Peruvian cerviche was a bit too oily. The taste was still good, though. We've generally ordered the fish specials or the rice bowls. Each time we've ordered those dishes, we've been very pleased. Super yum! We have ordered a few of the sushi rolls, but we have found them to be too sweet. Just not our preferred taste... Overall, a total HIT and no miss. We will be back, and look forward to our visit, because the service is really second to none! Well done, Pacific Catch.
(5)Kurichan O.
Being a health conscious individual from L.A. where the fried fish tacos rule, which btw I immensely enjoyed throughout my less healthier days. This has become my ONLY GO-TO place for grilled salmon tacos! My preference is for a lil heat, so I prefer to get them served chicken style with their chipotle sauce ;) I also love their salads with their light creamy miso dressing. I always opt for a side salad instead of fries and they serve it with a lil cup of black beans, yum! Asian fusion food isn't my preferred cup of tea but the fish is always fresh and boy oh boy if they can accommodate for the queen of substituting food items, than you know their customer service is fabulous! Once they even made my special order salmon tacos in the wrong style and they remade my entire order and took it off my bill! Wow...Pacific Catch...I'm so glad you're in my life!
(5)Melissa M.
I have to say I am surprised that there are some not so great reviews on here. My husband and I tried it this week for the first time and really thought it was GREAT! The hostesses at the front left a bit to be desired though I will admit. When I walked in I was told well its a 45 min wait, do you really want to wait?? Um well yea I do actually. So then we got a pager. But in the meantime noticed that the bar was available. The bartenders were awsome, Tony and Justin took amazing care of us. Drinks are fun, I had a yummy guava vodka cocktail with fresh guava puree and mint. My husband went for Tangerine Beer which for him trumped blue moon! We started with the "rising sun" rolls, yummy and love that its wrapped in ahi and not seaweed. Also had the grilled artichoke, which was also great and the aoli they serve with it was a perfect accompaniment. We moved on to the taco platter and grilled swordfish which was the special. Tacos were all good, had mahi mahi and cabo shrimp. The swordfish was cooked PERFECTLY and the sauce was good and not overdone. We ended with the chocolate macadamia nut brownie sundae!!! OMG and the special ice cream of the night was banana walnut so we subbed that for plain ole vanilla was sooo good!! They also have terrific coffee and its french press, the only way to have coffee for me! We will definately be back!
(5)Allison M.
I love that this place is within walking distance to my apartment. The ahi poke Japanese Wasabi bowl was delicious! The serving size was very generous and the flavors combined made by tastebuds do the happy dance! I've also tried the seared ahi version of the same dish and I can't tell which one I like better. What can I say? Love them both!
(4)Veronica B.
A much needed addition to Campbell's tired Pruneyard! The starter, Peruvian Ceviche is one of my BEST ceviche experiences. (Sad but true.) The purple potato chips add an awesome creative crunch. I seriously can't seem take my chubby mind off of this dish! Another favorite highlight are the assorted Asian bowls offered. Korean bbq, Wasabi, Hawaiian teriyaki. The bowls are filled with veggies and rice and my piece of salmon was cooked perfectly. A nice perk for newbies who check-in on 4square- free basket of their AMAZING sweet potato fries. The prices are very fair and the environment lively. Be sure to make a reservation if you are having dinner as they will seat you right away! I'll be returning again... and again... and again.

A few years ago, we ventured out to SF (Marina neighborhood) and tried Pacific Catch for lunch. We had an awesome experience and decided to re-live it in Campbell over the weekend. Unfortunately, we were utterly disappointed. Many changes were made to the menu, including the addition of various offerings. You know the saying, "there are a lot of knives in the drawer, but none of them are sharp?" Basically, Pacific Catch added a bunch of knives to their drawer and each of them are just as dull as a spoon. We ordered the sweet potato fries, macadamia nut poke, mixed basket (fried shrimp, oysters and fish), tempura shrimp roll and a side of broccolini. The sweet potato fries were decent, but nothing spectacular. The poke had good flavor, but did not use the highest grade of ahi tuna. I would also suggest that they chop the ahi into smaller pieces so that I wouldn't have felt like I was eating a piece of sashimi. My boyfriend was very disappointed with the mixed basket as it lacked flavor. Some people may think that as long as something's fried and dipped in sauce, you don't need much seasoning. They can go jump off a bridge. The batter should always be seasoned and/or the item being fried should be seasoned/marinated. And remember the esurance gas station sushi commercials? That's what the tempura shrimp roll tasted like. The rice was mushy and lacked vinegar/sugar. The overall flavor was just very discombobulated with a sweet teriyaki-wannabe sauce, spicy shisho leaf and bland shrimp tempura. The broccolini was alright, but it's pretty difficult to mess that up. I give this place two stars because we were able to sit in lovely shaded outdoor patio area with our dogs. We may or may not return to check out the bar area and catch a game or two.
(2)T. C.
The portions are huge. The ambiance is nice. The price is great. BUT, the food is mediocre. Ordered the korean sticky ribs with rice bowl dish and the tacos. The tacos didn't have any flavor and was bland. The korean sticky ribs was way too sweet.
(3)Morgan M.
This place was awesome!! Found it on Yelp while traveling through the area. Got a table right away and the waiter was very attentive! i had a blood orange margarita that was delicious. Food came out very fast and was amazing!! My dish was the garlic and wine sauce shrimp over mashed potatoes and a spinach salad and my dad ordered the mahi-mahi. We were both very pleased and will return to Pacific Catch when back in the area! definitely one to try out.
(5)Harold C.
It's okay. We had the ceviche sampler for appetizer. I had the fish taco plate and my SO had the salmon sandwich. Service was a bit slower even though we came in early at 6:30PM. Parking was difficult because it is always busy at the Pruneyard. Fish is okay and decently fresh, but it wasn't anything mind-blowing, or maybe I'm just not a seafood connoisseur. We went out of the way to come here. If we live close by, we might consider coming again, but we rather frequent other places closer to home.

The restaurant opened last year in the Pruneyard Shopping Center, Campbell CA. The hubby and I tried it out for the 1stx last week b4 catching a flick at Camera 7. We elected to bring a bottle of our own wine. There was a bit of a wait on a Sat night. They do take reservations so I highly recommend that. We sat at the bar watching the Sharks game and had some appetizers. I ordered a bloody mary...I've tasted better. The bartender James was very friendly. He opened our wine for us and checked in with us regularly. (Note: corkage fee $10. very affordable.) Finally, after 45 mins of wait, we had to decide whether we should have our dinner at the bar because we needed to catch a movie. James was very kind to leave his post and check on our wait. He promptly reported that we were the next party so we decided to close the bar tap. Then we proceeded to wait another 10 mins. Sensing our unease, he leaves his post again w/o our urging to check for us. When he returned, he promptly showed us to a booth nearby so we could still have a view to the Shark's game and moved all of our stuff for us. What service. Our new wait person, Tamara was equally attentive. Due to our time constraints, we asked that our check be provided as soon as the main course is served. She regularly updated on our main course status and refilled our glasses. When our meal was served, she made sure she topped off everything and promptly place the check on the table and told us we still had 45 mins b4 our movie time. Then 10 mins till, she came by and gently nudge us of our time because we were so into our Shark's game. So we hurried and left...Yes. we paid and tipped her well. I was so impressed with their service I forgot to talk about the food. No worries, the food is very tasty. The husband order the pan Asian bowl with teriyaki salmon and veggies. I order the whole dungeons crab with garlic noodle. YUMMMMMM...the roasted crab was garlicky so was the noodle. Yes....you have to get dirty, but that is to be expected when you order such a dish so THERE. My hubby enjoyed his pan Asian bowl. Very well balance and not over sauced which happens often in other "Americanized" restaurants. Price is very good as there are things on the menu for all price pt. Food quality is excellent. Hubby and I will be regulars for sure. It's a nice addition to the Pruneyard.
(4)Shelby L.
Just discovered Pacific Catch about a month ago and I'm obsessed! The BBQ korean sticky ribs amazing! The sushi appetizers are great... I usually get one for my meal! The entree rice bowls are very good. They come with a lot of food (two meals for me) at a great price. I love love love the fact that they give you pretzel gold fishes to start in lieu of bread. Great kids menu as well! Great family night and date night spot!
(4)Lindsay S.
I think the fish is all right, too salty. Last time I went I got the Mahi Mahi tacos...the fish was half fat and my husband and I both got sick...we haven't been back since and most likely won't go anytime soon. They do have a decent wine selection. Ambiance outside is nice, inside is OK....
(2)Minty O.
Food is really good. Service is still new and nervous. Pacific Rim flavors and influence makes for good seafood. I would recommend this place if you want some good fish n chips or other seafood basics, i.e. crab melts, ahi tuna salads, california rolls, shrimp louie salads...etc. They have a limited gluten-free menu but they are GF conscious and they do carry GF soy sauce.
(4)Trish M.
Things I love about this place: Complimentary sparkling water, the spicy passionfruit martini, and their Vietnamese steak sandwich that comes with yummy coleslaw and sweet potato fries (ask for the ginger wasabi dipping sauce!). I'm also fond of their ceviche trio and island tacos. Mmmm... can't wait to return!
(4)Nicole Y.
I have are here on multiple occasions. I really like their bowls. I have had the Thai curry and Korean bbq bowls and not been disappointed. I had the salmon salad and it was okay. The service is great and I love the atmosphere. One time when the service was a little slow they gave us a complimentary calamari. I enjoy this restaurant and would recommend it to others.
(5)Allison R.
We had a great time here! Our server, Sarah, was fantastic! She was very friendly and on top of everything. We were celebrating a few special occasions so we really appreciated her attentiveness. We tried the Fried Dulce de Leche "Spring Rolls" for desert and they were delicious!!! The food was good, but a little over priced for the quality.
(4)Chas A.
Overall, I enjoyed the food over at Pacific Catch. It was the first time that I had ventured into the restaurant for lunch. We ordered the Sushi Grade Ahi Salad, the Hawaiian Ono, and another dish with miso sauce atop the fish (I totally had forgotten the name of the dish). The Sushi Grade Ahi with soy wasabi vinaigrette was filled with crisp lettuce, sprouts, and small pieces of Ahi. The soy-wasabi vinaigrette complemented the greens and ahi VERY well. The salad was very refreshing and tasty to the palate without an overpowering vinaigrette flavor. The Hawaiian Ono was okay. The fish itself was a bit chewy, but flavorful with the curry sauce. The eggplant that came with the dish was a bit dry to me without any flavor. Perhaps it was to complement the fish? I think they should've drizzled some olive oil or a little bit of salt on top maybe. The other dish that we had was one of their lunch special (I had forgotten its name) that had miso sauce on top of the fish. It was indeed very flavorful with the sauce. The dish itself came with white rice, a little seaweed on top of the rice, and a small serving of salad. The fish was cooked well and the miso sauce added a hint of sweetness to the dish. Customer service overall was alright. Our waiter was very attentive to us during our visit. He was very comfortable to talk to as he gave us some recommendations of the restaurants popular dishes and what how we could order amongst ourselves to be able to try a little bit of everything from the rolls, to the tacos, and to the rice dishes. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable and I really like how they incorporate pan-asian influence into their dishes.
(4)Anna C.
This place is a gem!!! The food is delicious and the prices were reasonable. The ambiance was casual/comfortable and the bathrooms were roomy and very clean. We recommend: Peruvian ceviche Ahi poke bowl Miso Cod special!!! Fish or shrimp tacos Mango upside down cake fish n chips were just ok. The manager was nice and the waitstaff were super helpful with suggestions and overall favs. 4 stars because our reserved table was given away while we were getting drinks at the bar to a family with 4 kids under 7 (corner window booth) and we were on a girls night out. Boo.

I have only been here once but I am hooked! I came here with my friend Delanie the other week for happy hour (which is from 4-6pm I think) and I was very pleasantly surprised. I had heard about this place a lot so my expectations were prettty high and it definitely met all of them. I LOVE seafood and if you are a seafood fan then this place does not disappoint. I ordered the Sushi Grade Ahi Salad and it was bombbbbb! It was pretty big too but the dressing was really light and just all around amazing, probably one of the best salads that I have ever had. We also got drinks and they were really cheap since we came in for happy hour. I had 2 drinks and a salad and I think it came out to around $20 or so which is really good for the quality of food they had. The atmosphere was casual but nice and the servers were all really friendly and helped me out with what to order since it was my first time there. Everything I saw there looked really good though and the menu has a pretty wide variety. There were some appetizers and sushi on the happy hour menu too and they even have a section of the menu for gluten free. I will definitely be coming back here again, maybe even today since I'm craving that salad after talking about it. Alsooo like I said I'm not familiar with this whole dating scene thing (I'm more about the drinking scene these days) but I thinkkk this would be a good place for a little date action. Don't quote that though. Also there wasn't a wait or anything but parking can be a little tough so just be prepared for that.

What a great new addition to The Pruneyard! It's 7:30pm and I'm still full from the lunch we had today. We started with the Pacific Ceviche Trio - sweet, spicy, and tangy! My mom had the trout special. How can I explain her enjoyment of this dish?? My mom is tiny....5-foot 90 pound tiny...the woman never finishes her plate, but today - no box for her!! I had the Wasabi bowl with seared ahi. Big flavors, big portion! I loved the options available to customize this dish (brown rice, half lettuce/half rice). Our server, Lily, made fabulous menu recommendations and she shared some great information - I love hearing that restaurants are making their own menu items from scratch (purple potato chips) and knowing that the produce is local (Brentwood roasted corn!). I miss living in SF....thanks for bringing a taste of it to the South Bay!

Last night drop by there around 8pm (saturday night) still have to wait for 30 minutes for dinner. Hostess is very nice and polite. The interior Decor look pretty nice for a restaurant in suburb. These kind of modern decor usually you will see it either in SF or in Berkeley/Oakland area, not in suburb. So it score extra star from me. Husband ordered Mahi Mahi (ko samu style) in green curry saurce. I have seared Ahi Tuna salad (my salad portion is very big). Dinner taste very good and if you are seafood person, there are really a lot of good choice to choose from. The dessert menu is good too. Oh, forget to comment on the parking lot. It is on the small size, because it has theatre, other restaurants and Marshall. It is in a strip shopping mall. That restaurants employees seem to be pretty nice/polite/professional (beside the food is very good and fresh). Looking forward to go there to eat dinner again.

Within walking distance from our house so we come here a lot. Delish Ahi Salad and great service. Awesome Happy Hour too!

We came here for lunch and had the following: Pacific Ceviche Trio - consists of a sampling of their Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke, and Peruvian ceviche Korean Barbecue Pan Asian Rice bowl - a mix of green onion panchan, seasoned cucumber, shredded omelette, daikon sprouts, shredded nori, brown rice and Sticky Ribs Mahi Mahi Tacos - spice rubbed mahi mahi, cabbage, avocado-tomatillo salsa & lime crema The kids had the chicken strips with french fries and orange wedges. idk why I didn't substitute their fries for the sweet potato fries. OH well, next time. Sparkling water was complimentary, as well as the little plate of peeled edemame and goldfish crackers. Their tropical tea iced tea is thirst quenching. Love the restaurant's decor! The kids loved the chalkboard and different colored chalks that kept them busy, but mommy here did not appreciate the residue. Can't wait to come back to try their other yummy sounding dishes!

Pacific Catch you are a great addition to the Pruneyard! A new place to have lunch at while i work :). the service was great. friendly, attentive, and wonderful with their recommendations on their favorite dishes. I really appreciate someone telling me what entrees are well liked bc it saves me time in deciding. The layout of the restaurant is also very spacious. Very good for groups or those of you with kiddos. They have outdoor seating with heat lamps too just in case you want to get some air. I had never heard of Pacific Catch before so coming in I thought it would be somewhat like Market Broiler. WRONG. lol. More like asian fusion (although they serve peruvian ceviche?). The ceviche was pretty good. I think I like the traditional style better, I love the lime and tomato taste instead of the creamy mango consistency that the peruvian had. My Ahi Poke roll was yummmm!!! 8 huge sushi pieces, I couldn't even finish! I'm curious to try the Korean BBQ. I know it's most likely not going to be anything like Ktown but worth a shot! I'm excited to go back :).

Very VERY good ceviche. My personal opinion is that El Palomar in Santa Cruz has the best ceviche ever, but here at Pacific Catch, especially the Peruvian version, is so different and has so much in the way of fresh mouthwatering flavors/sauce going on, that's it's really a different "kind" of ceviche. It's fresh, refreshing, complex with spices and a little mouth party. Sweet potato fries were very good, and arrived piping hot, and the salmon salad was excellent. Mixed fried seafood basket, including oysters, was also excellent (never had oysters so very tender!!!). Flavored iced teas were quite pricey but very good. Service was decent....quick and friendly, not overbearing, but maybe a teeny tiny tad inattentive to drink levels. The hostess and servers are very casually dressed -- black polos seemed to be the uniform, but most looked quite faded. Employee's attire (our hostess was wearing a sweater over what looked like might have been sweat pants and UGG boots -- eeew) seemed to conflict and even take a bit away from with the very nice, clean, modern-asian style of the restaurant. All in all it gets a strong 3.5/weak 4 for me. Ceviche tipped it toward the 4 rating.

3.5 stars round up to 4. This is one of the restaurants I've been thinking of trying, decided to use my $20 open table check last night. We are glad we did, hubby and I had an enjoyable evening out. Upon entering we realize it's a fairly large place, we liked the high ceiling and the more updated interior. The hostess was pleasant; our waiter was very nice and helpful (he was cool about us moving to a larger table), the manager also came by to check on us; service was top notch. We shared a bowl of seasonal crab chowder and Hawaiian Poke; the chowder was spicy and very flavorful (I'd like it served hotter though) and Poke was good as well. Both were enough for two people to share. As a fish & chip fan, hubby had the 3 piece (actually got 4 pieces) and I ordered the Salmon salad. Both of our fish were fresh with great flavor and cooked perfectly. We really liked the fish and were happy with the prices ($12 and $13.5); wrapped up the dinner with some coffee (good) and ice cream. Anything missing?, perhaps some nice crusty bread. Will definitely come back again, this is a good find.

Starters: Hawaiian Poke - This was pretty good. The flavors of sesame soy was not over empowering. It worked well with tuna's natural bland state. Peruvian Ceviche - I wasn't a fan of the bright yellow ginger marinade. Flavor wise... well, it was a bit too strong and just odd to me. The subtle, delicate seafood flavors never had a chance or glimmer of hope to reveal itself when drenched in this neon gunk of a marinade. Sweet Potato Fries - Yummy, enough said. Fisherman Daughter's soup - Absolutely delicious. The soup reminded me of a simplier and less hearty cioppino. DELISH, surprisingly. I can eat an entire pot of it. Pan Asian Rice Bowl with Grilled Salmon - you can order with brown rice or white rice. They even give you the option of making it an entire salad or get half rice half salad. Pretty cool right? Rice bowl was good. Macadamia Nut Brownie Sundae - I had two scoops and dear Lord, was it rich and sinfully delicious... oh, did it hit the spot! :) Overall, great lunch spot during work. Very festive and casual, trendy vibe.

My wife had been here and immediately fell in love with the menu so she had to take me. I had the Korean BBQ rice bowl with brown rice and greens. The meat was tender and awesome and the toppings were perfect. A bit too much sauce, but that's just my taste. The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than any other place in the Pruneyard, more of a Santana Row feel, but welcome in a strip mall of Rock Bottom and Outback Steakhouse. The menu was extensive with a variety of tacos, salads, and bowls. We'll be back. Gotta try the happy hour. Oh, bonus if you check in on Foursquare. We got a free plate of sweet potato fries.
(4)Marisa B.
Went here for an early NYE dinner. After my friend called for a reservation and was told they were booked solid until after 8pm but the bar area would offer open seating. Needless to say we were a bit hesitant that we would be able to be seated in a timely manner. However, when we arrived, we were immediately able to get a nice table in the bar, and the service was very friendly and prompt. Their menu of specials featured, crab which is my personal favorite. Another plus was it didn't smell fishy at all, which is a huge turnoff for me in seafood places. Wine selctions and appetizers were great, and overall the meal was exactly what we were looking for. Will definately be going back to Pacific Catch at the Pruneyard.
(4)Maria T.
I had the Hawaiian Poke Wasabi bowl. The menu states in tiny letters that you can order the bowls with half white rice or brown rice and half greens - I went with that option with brown rice. Everyone at the table liked their food. We had the dessert spring rolls - which are delicious and easily shared. Portions are big. I had the rest of my salad for lunch and it was still good. Our server was attentive without stalking and she anticipated some of our needs - we had a 4-year old in our party (he liked his food too). All in all it was great. I'll happily go back to try some other items.
(5)Jennifer K.
I would definitely come back again. We started with the calamari. It was ok, but nothing special. Probably wouldn't get it again. Also had a fish of the day special which was quite tasty along with three tacos. The fish taco was just ok, but I would probably not get it again. the shrimp and beef tacos were both good though. I would come back and try the sandwiches and rice bowls next time.

wooow, i L o V E this place.,.my official favorite restaurant... i didnt know there was fish place like this right here in Cambell...what a G E M! ! ! was little confused with my first orders cause the menu doesnt indicate much but you will just get a feeling that you cant go wrong with anything here.. lot of their foods is prepared with seemingly great quality ingredients and good chef care... i came in with my brother for dinner on sunday night and we just had a blast... got us a beer before the meal and we like literally got wasted... hahaahaaa jkn.., did i forget to mention their full bar service is another thing to behold.. they have a lot of beers which range from 4% -8% alch. soo why not get a little buttoned..lool Amaazing service, really good Food, Super awesome atmosphere make this a easy "go 2 PlaCe" only thing i would reccomend if you are getting salmon or such meats tell them how you like it done.. my came almost Raw.. stil tasted bomb but i would prefer it more toasted or grilled.. then again maybe thats their signature or something, who knows*** 5 STARS for everything here *** SERVICE is exceptional ***
(5)Cynthia G.
What a great place. From The Pruneyard surroundings to the Pacific Catch restaurant with very nice décor, this place belongs! I went in expecting a traditional seafood restaurant. I thought they would have the traditional fishplate with vegetables or rice, but it is has nice Asian touch to the menu. They did have the traditional plate or two on the special menu, but the rest of the menu was different. I had a salmon salad that was delicious. The salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly. For the more hearty eater, the waiter suggested a similar dish, but in there bowls...comes with rice. Not just rice (or salad in my case), but a bunch of vegetables that went very well with the selection. They also have a sushi bar, poki salad, and a whole bunch of other dishes that looked great and gives me another reason to go back. Definitely recommend Pacific Catch!
(5)Neil K.
This is the elephant bar of seafood. And I don't like ebar. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. For the price your paying you would think you'd get something better. But the worst was our service. Or lack of service. We had no waiter and the manager took our orders first. Then everyone disappeared. We pulled down a random server after another random one etc. it was Sunday lunch but come on - staff the place adequately!
(1)Nala R.
We just celebrated tonight my wife's birthday with 28 of our family and friends at this fantastic restaurant. Thank you Pacific catch for everything. Great food great Service great everything I highly recommend this place and we will be back and recommend you guys to my family and friends who were not able to make it tonight
(5)Virginia S.
This review is for takeout service only. This was my first time here and I thought the food and service were pretty good. Pros: The gal who took my order was super friendly and my order was ready as promised when I arrived. I had the steak tacos and would definitely order it again. The flavor was good and I liked the fried onions that garnished them. Others in the group ordered the Serrano Ahi Poke, and Salmon Thai Curry, which all commented had great flavor. Cons: I think the price is slightly higher than an average weekday meal but the quality was definitely there. The menu also seemed a bit limited.
(4)Nancy P.
I've given it two stars not due to the food, but due to the service. We normally call in for pick up; on 09/12/2015 around 7pm I called in to place an order. A young girl picked up the phone and had no manners whats so ever. She giggled throughout the conversation and was rude when I was placing the order. She kept talking over me and laughing. My boyfriend came in to pick up the food. There are two girls in the front that were giggling. I assume they are new and one of them was the one I spoken too. I wish I got her name because she should of been called out by her unprofessionalism. I hope I never have to deal with her again because I like coming here for the food even though the food has been lacking quality now compared to past visits.

I came here for dinner the other night with a girl friend. I was surprised by the limited menu and the lackluster service. I was all set to order a sushi roll but they didn't have soy paper so I went with the shrimp tacos. Asked for a side of thousand island dressing but they didn't have that either. Thousand Island is one of the sauces that compliments seafood perfectly. How can a seafood restaurant not have it? It's also made with 3 basic ingredients I would expect every restaurant to have on hand anyway. I wonder if our server didn't like me after that. We got our drinks, our food came out pretty quickly and then I ran out of soda and she passed our table several times without noticing or acknowledging us. I finally had to speak out and call her over to ask for a soda refill (I'd also purchased a $10 mixed drink (which IMO was very small) so it wasn't like we were being stingy in ordering drinks). Food was okay. Would have been better if they had the things I wanted. Once we were done with our meal, our server was no where to be seen. We waited and waited and finally we went up to the front host stand. "Thank you for coming!" the young lady cheerfully said. "Oh, we're trying to pay... we haven't seen our server in ages." I say. Then I look to the right of the hostess and there is our server, on the phone. I felt really embarrassed. She looked really mad. I don't know what was going on but we didn't get good service and the food was just okay. Shrimp were very flavorful, tender and juicy though so that was nice. My friend Chris ate here (see his review) and didn't like his shrimp tacos because they were drowning in sauce. I got mine without any sauce and the shrimp were very good. I think I had lettuce instead of cabbage and that was better too - it was a mixed baby greens or something. Anyway, I might return if I'm in the area. They're open until 11PM so that's a plus, but if there's somewhere else I can go I'll probably try a new restaurant.
(3)Cassandra E.
Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cleanliness: 4.75 I've had shrimp or prawns on my mind for days. A girl can only have so many vegetarian or vegan meals before her appetite turns into that of a ravenous rainbow shark. Yep. That's how I felt tonight. I was on my way home and my stomach took over. All the sudden I was ordering a couple shrimp tacos a la carte over the phone at Pacific Catch. When I arrived for pick up fifteen minutes later, there were masses of people lined up around the building. I was beaming with joy and glowing from the heat all at once. I knew all those starved, overheated people probably had an hour or more wait ahead of them and my shrimp tacos were about to be in hand. Woo hoo. As soon as I got to a cozy table to eat my tacos, I was oohing and awing from how incredibly tasty these tacos were. Shrimp so perfect and crunchy with three per small corn tortilla. Just enough extra toppings (shredded cabbage, a touch of lime, a touch of sauce) that I could fit the taco in my mouth fully with each bite. Those people waiting for their tables another hour to hour and a half were not crazy. They have every reason in the world to wait. Amazing food. Impeccable quality! Enjoy!

Came here for a double date night on a Friday. The food was good but don't get the sushi rolls. They were bad.. We got the trio poke appetizer. The salmon and ahi were my favorite! For entree, I got one of their rice bowls with the grilled salmon. That was REALLY good but the portion was HUGE. It's like an entire rice cooker full of rice in that bowl! So I wasted a lot of rice.. My boyfriend got the tacos which he really liked. The steak ones were his favorite. We also got dessert. The mochi with fondue dip is a MUST. As for the price, we all had one drink each, shared 2 appetizers, all had our own entrees, and 2 desserts and it ended up being about $80/couple. Not too shabby. Note: Make reservations in advance! We made reservations only a few days prior to Friday and there was only 7:45pm left. Also, the parking was crazy. We had to park on the other side of the plaza and walk over.

My friend and I popped over here to satisfy our craving for poke. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of poke options here in the South Bay but we hit the jackpot at Pacific Catch! We were there on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and were seated quickly with our menus. We tried the Ahi Serrano poke and the taco plate ( I think this is just available on their lunch menu). The food came out quite quickly and our server was great in making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The Ahi Serrano poke was delicious and we both enjoyed the crispy and verrrry spicy kick from the serrano chilies. Since the ahi tuna is coated in a creamy aoli., it cools down the spice. I knocked a star off because the tuna was chopped into rather large pieces; I think smaller pieces would've made it easier to eat. I also liked the wonton chips that come with the poke. If you want a full poke bowl, you can order poke on top of their pan-asian rice bowls. The tacos were also pretty big and avocado was piled high on them (win!); they also came with a side that you got to choose--fries or side salad. A really great sized entree. Also, if it's a nice day, I would take advantage of their nice outdoor seating. The patio is covered but you get a good breeze since the area is open. Overall, a fan of this place and glad I have a spot to get poke.
(4)Brent T.
As part of a chain, this Pacific Catch looks and feels more or less identical to the other locations that I've been to. Decor is simple and clean. This time as part of the salmon season, I had a cedar plank roasted salmon with corn relish and sweet potato puree. This was just okay. The fish didn't pick up enough of the wood/smoke flavor and was slightly overdone...not enough to send back but just enough to be a nuisance. The portion was fair. The service, as it has been at every PC I've been to, was top notch. Very friendly, prompt, attentive and courteous. I'd come back for sure.
(4)Christopher C.
Nice regional chain upscale seafood restaurant. Located in an outdoor mall with many other dinning choices, Pacific Catch stands out as an excellent seafood option. Here for a working lunch last week with my Boss and his Boss. I found the location very clean, well staffed, abundant shared parking, and having comfortable and spacious seating. The food was excellent, but a little bland, I had ordered the shrimp tacos and found them prepared carefully, but smothered in sour cream and other sauces and a little heavy on the cabbage. Still good, just a little bland. The sparkling lemonade was also a nice touch but prepared very sour and almost designed to clear your sinuses; it was like drinking medicine. Overall a nice lunch choice, which will run you between $22 and $25 for lunch after tax and tip. Reserving my 5-star review for my next visit to see if I really like this place.
(4)Alexa L.
One of the BEST parts about visiting home for the weekend is getting to pop into Pacific Catch for some amazing, fresh seafood! So what do I love here? Start with the Ahi Macadamia Nut Poke. For your meal, order one of the rice bowls. My two favorites are the Mongolian or the Japanese Wasabi bowl. I always sub greens for the rice, although you do have the choice between white and brown rice if you're trying to keep it healthy but want those grains! I love either bowl with Salmon or Ahi. YUM! The bowls are gigantic and I promise you'll either leave completely stuffed or with a to-go box with enough food for your next meal! Most of the bowls come with steak and chicken options as well, which my boyfriend loves! So even if you're not a fish person I promise you'll find something you enjoy. My dad is also not a fish person but really likes the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich, Fried Calamari & Spicy Fries! Yes please. It is certainly on the pricey side despite being casual, but that is because you're getting quality ingredients and fresh fish. This is definitely a place to check out if you haven't done so yet!

After the great improvement I've noticed on my last couple of visits, it was time to update my review. I have since my last review been back to Pacific Catch for both Father's Day and for a girls lunch. Both times I received very friendly and efficient service, top notch fresh food, and overall just had a great time. The Hawaiian poke California style appetizer is soo good...the crab and the poke together is a match made in heaven. I have tried both the Japanese Wasabi bowl and my go-to, the Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl, and they are both delicious. Drink menu is sure to please just about anyone, even a pickier wine aficionado will find something to please their palate. I do tend to lean toward the slightly sweet Hawaiian bowl. Those crispy onion strings have a special place in my heart ;) I have learned to order my bowls with half rice and half greens and it ends up being perfect, when it's all rice it's just a bit too heavy for me. I'm so happy to hear that Pacific Catch also works with DoorDash so now I can enjoy their fresh seafood without leaving the comfort of my house lol :) Will definitely be back and will definitely keep visiting as one of my go to spots.
(5)Susan M.
I've eaten at this Pacific Catch twice and the food was good, but there are definitely better places to go. It's also a bit pricier for not as great quality or tasting food. I do give it 4 stars though because the service is great and it has a nice environment. I got the salmon special with mashed potatoes and veggies for lunch. The salmon and mashed potatoes were good. There were a lot of cut up veggies and somehow I thought it might be better with whole veggies since this was supposed to be a healthier dish. Although the dish was good, it wasn't quite worth $20. Not really sure what type of seasoning was in the mashed potatoes and veggies, but my stomach felt a little weird shortly after. I'd only come back here if my friends wanted to come otherwise probably go with something else.
(4)James L.
It's been about a month since I was here and these were the only pertinent details that I retained: - they messed up my order of poki so I had to send it back while my friends were already into a good part of their meal - it was cold from where I was sitting- draft from the outside leading into an outside-pseudo area which is where I was seated - the trio of poki that I got for my meal wasn't memorable... so if that is the case, it was probably average - it was difficult to flag down our server throughout the course of the meal FWIW- my friends enjoyed their meals.
(3)Alex T.
The two stars reflect the food = Overly sauced. Can't taste the quality of the vegetables and meat. Rice was swimming in it. FIVE STARS to our server = Sid, who was on top of it despite us being his last table for the night. He was top notch! Probably won't be back unless it's to recruit Sid for a job.
(2)Kelly L.
I like the on once here. The staffs are very nice and friendly. The food was great and the manager was very understanding. We ordered a side of seaweed but they brought out two so we told our waiter, he had his manager comped it for us cause they made a mistake. You should definitely try here if you have never been!
(5)Kyle Y.
For any restaurant that is successful at duping me into eating daikon & kimchee (two things I dislike) in my meal, I give you props. Pacific Catch did just that and executed it well. I opted for the pick two Korean Rice Bowl: Went with the Sticky icky icky Ribs n Shrimp. I liked how they cut the ribs into riblets. They were easy to eat and the sauce is da sh**. I would definitely order them again. As far as the shrimp goes. It gets a thumbs down from me. They might have been grilled but there was no taste to them whatsoever. I resorted to mixing them in with the Sticky rib sauce to elevated them. The drinks were good n freshly squeezed. The service was good n our waiter was friendly n on point. One piece of advice: Order the Dulce de Leche Spring Roll for dessert. Wowza. Oh so good. There's a nice crunchy element with the pastryesque spring roll and the ice cream tasted like it was from one of those creameries. The Dulce de Leche was infused throughout the dessert. I would put it up there as one of my top 5 desserts of all time. It was a favorable dining experience overall. One thing I didn't care for was the seating layout. The table we were seated at was by the separate outdoor seating. As a result there was a lot of foot traffic by our table. Nothing can be as off-putting as people looking at what your while walking by.
(4)Kelly F.
If I could give 2 1/2 stars I would - and because I'm on the fence and in the end the food was my issue not the service and to me the food is the most important part of my yelp reviews, round down i shall. Overall, my biggest gripe was too little seasoning and lack of acid to balance out the dishes. We went for happy hour and ordered: Drinks: Overall just ok. Agave Margarita - not flavorful and a bit watery. Mai Tai - meh overall unimpressed. Spicy Passion-fruit Drink - best of the 3, good balance of fruity, sour and a bit of spice Food: Macadamia nut poke - definitely would not order this again. The fish was of ok quality and not seasoned well. White Poke - definitely would not order this again. Overall individual the ingredients were fine but the problem was it tasted like they were mixed moments before it was served and nothing Shrimp Ceviche - the only food item I would order again. A nice blend of avocado, lemon and cilantro with some shrimp Inside Out Roll - basically a California roll with spicy tuna on top, the spicy tuna was very bland. Sticky Ribs - cook on it was fine but flavor was very superficial, like they were cooked in the oven and brushed with pretty sweet sauce right at the end Service was ok. Environment was fine. Just don't think i'll be returning anytime soon.
(2)Tetiana M.
This is a very busy place I would recommend to make a reservation before. I had chosen: California Rolls, Salmon Clam Chowder Soup (from the Season Menu) and Mojito (usually I'm taking Spicy Pacific). This is clean and friendly place.
(5)Monica G.
This A-ok food. Service was great. What I ordered: the fish tacos. Fish was cooked well, dish was decent. I got it with sweet potato fries. My friend told me there Asian bowl dishes are good but I have yet to try them. I have been to a pacific catch in SoCal. So it's a standard mediocre chain restaurant. Food is good just not great
(3)Roger S.
Salvador made our evening terrific. Fresh food and delicious. So popular it's crises all the time! Excellent Salmon Salad.
(4)Lori T.
Haven't been to Pacific Catch in a while and returned this past weekend. Sadly, the service was something to be desired. Super slow regardless of being less busy than I've seen it. Took us 20+ minutes to get our appetizer of sweet potato fries (should take no more than 10 minutes, in my opinion) and we waited another 20 after we had finished eating to get our bill- only after I found our waiter and asked for it. The food is still great but wasn't my favorite experience at my past-favorite place.
(3)Hailey D.
Pacific Catch is one of those restaurants that I always drive by but never bother to check out. Finally decided to eat here and the experience was just ok. The menu is interesting? I feel like it's a restaurant that hasn't really figured out what kind of food it wants to serve yet. The menu is all over the place. They have a few traditional seafood dishes (think fried calamari and fish and chips), then they've got the Asian inspiration going (Korean ribs, Hawaiian rice bowls) and finally they've got fish tacos and sandwiches. I chose a chicken taco and a fried shrimp taco with a side of black beans and spicy fries. It's a little weird to serve fries with taco which leads me back to my point about not knowing what kind of food it wants to serve. The fries were my favorite thing of the night but they should be called seasoned not spicy because they were far from spicy. The black beans were pretty bland. I liked the shrimp taco but for a seafood restaurant I was not really blown away by the quality or freshness of the shrimp. The chicken taco had a spicy dressing on the bottom which made the tortilla soggy, causing it to fall apart and it was incredibly messy to eat. I also find it a little weird that instead of giving you bread on the table they give you a tiny dish of edamame beans and pretzel goldfish crackers. Like, why bother? It's so random and not appetizing. At the end of the night they were kind enough to bring out a complimentary dessert for my friends birthday. It was a brownie with ice cream which was pretty enjoyable. This place isn't terrible but there are definitely better seafood places in the Bay Area.
(2)Amarie S.
We decided last min to ditch our Kyoto palace reservations and come here for my boyfriends birthday. Walked in and we were seated instantly. No wait! Win- and after just a couple mins the waiter came over to greet us. We've had some bad experiences lately with waiting forever at places. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. Very fast, friendly and good quality food. I ordered the Hawaiian rice bowl with salmon. My boyfriend ordered the curry rice bowl with chicken and my son ordered the BBQ salmon. Everything was very fresh, and tasty. After dinner our waiter brought over the desert menu. We ended up getting the custard Carmel ice cream. This by far made the night. It was absolutely delicious! You won't be disappointed if you try this place that's for sure.
(4)Lainey S.
Always a great choice! I love Pacific Catch because they have a great menu selection. Whether someone is in the mood for sushi, grilled fish, chicken, or pork- they've got it. Obviously, they have a wider selection of fish, but their red meat and chicken dishes are just as great! The last few times I've been here, I order the Ecstasy Roll, which is a sushi roll with tune, avocado, yellowtail (I think), and lightly fried with tempura. It's awesome! Fills me up every time. They also have a great drink menu, so it's a perfect place to stop in and grab a unique and refreshing cocktail. Definitely a favorite in Campbell-and the South Bay!
(4)Suzie B.
I come here to get take out after going to the car wash down the street and they are always quick and the food is good. I really like the fish tacos and the chicken teriyaki. I always have to get the motchi balls too, they are so good!!!
(5)Guy C.
I so wish I could score this higher. The whole way through the dinner I was agonizing over it and I left it the night to noodle in. Here's why the poor score and angst 1. Place has a great vibe 2. Wife had the wasabi bowl with crab salad which was superb 3. I had fisherman a basket incl coconut prawns, deep fried oysters and signature cod. 4. Prawns were out of this world fantastic 5. Oysters were super fresh and delicious 6. Cod tasted like a left over piece of cardboard battered and re-killed for the second time. So being a Brit abroad the highlight of the dish should have been the cod and it was so thin and so over cooked that it had no taste, snapped like a nacho and was sincerely the worst battered cod I think I have ever had (which is saying something). I tried to overlook it as the rest of the dinner was great but it's been haunting me. Ok so we will return and I hope I can adjust the score but if I had had the fish n chips which was where I was slanted, I would never return. Really sorry Pacific, I don't normally have this much to say but was beyond disappointed in the cod, that was supposed to be the signature and I was served a scrap from the bottom of the fryer :-(

I had no idea Left of Albequrque had closed! A friend of mine recommended Pacific Catch so my wife and I made reservations on Open Table. We were early but they were able to seat us right away. The waitress was quite attentive and made some good wine recommendations. They have a very extensive menu to choose from. My wife chose the Salmon Salad special while I chose the Thai Curry Rice Bowl with Grilled Salmon and brown rice. I was surprised to be asked if I wanted half rice and half salad. Out waitress highly recommended it. She said the salad is on the bottom (a bed of salad) and once you mix it all together with the rice and the curry sauce it's really good. I'm up for something different and she was right! it was good. Lots of food too. BUT, I got white rice and not brown rice. I had already started eating it so I didn't want to make a fuss and have to wait for another bowl to be prepared. Oh, and we started with the coconut shrimp (7 to a plate so you have to fight over the last one) and they were really good. My wife's Salmon salad was exactly that. Nothing too special but good. Would I go back? Yes, but not if I wanted to carry on a conversation with several people. It's very loud. Also, I am convinced parking is a lot better on the Bascom side of the Pruneyard so take a chance outside the restaurant.

My guy and I have been always passing this place but we wanted to try it out. We were not disappointed. We both ordered three tacos platter. I ordered the mahi, true cod, and shrimp. Comes with black beans and a slaw. All were yummy.

My husband, two kids ages 14 and 12, and I dined here on a Sunday night with reservations made via OpenTable. The decor, atmosphere (albeit too loud for my personal taste) and service was good but the food was lacking. My 14 yr old and I had the bowls which were 3/4 rice, 1/8th veggie filler, and 1/8th actual meat. For $15 per bowl, I expected better than rice, rice and more rice. My daughter had the thai curry and there was barely any curry on her rice. I had the Korean beef bowl and there was 5-6 small and thin pieces (1"x1-1/2") of beef. My husband and son had poke and rolls and they were fine...but we eat sushi almost every week so they weren't that special. One huge plus is that they use real crab for their CA roll. My son had the best dish - a spicy shrimp soup - which he thoroughly enjoyed. My daughter had the fried eggroll dessert (served with ice cream) which I thought was okay but she really enjoyed....she's a teenager who likes her food fried and sweet so she's easy like that. While many might think this is a cool place to dine, which it might be, we probably won't come back. The food just wasn't compelling.

Trendy little chain of medium-price, high-value restaurants. They offered us still or carbonated water in stylish, cobalt-blue bottles. Then, we noticed that they used the blue bottles to make cool light fixtures. Place has an airy, open feel, but noisier in the main dining room. Service is very good, on a Saturday, for lunch. The tortilla soup was mild, but tasty, and included shrimp and chicken. The California roll was fresh, and made with real crab. The bowls are generous in size, and are used for the meal-sized salads, as well. My wife had the Hawaiian Poke salad, and I had the Poke bowl. Our friend had a Thai curry bowl. The ahi poke was good, with excellent fish. The mixed greens were high quality, in the salad, and included a variety of interesting condiments. I chose the brown rice option for the bowl, which was just slightly al dente, and very good. My bowl came with seaweed salad, and Japanese-style pickled ginger. It was very good, and too much to finish, even for a big eater, like me. Our friend's bowl came with 3 skewers of shrimp, that were grilled perfectly. Plump, fresh, sweet, with good consistency. The dish was garnished with lotus root, sliced very thin, and deep fried. Ingenious, innovative, and a real treat. Noticed that the clientele was a good mixture of young singles, couples, families, and older folks. Pacific Catch is a solid concept, well executed. I'm impressed, and I'd go back, when we're in NorCal.

Ambiance is nice. We sat outside but undercover with some water flowing and fire coming out of the rocks on a cold day and it was comfortable and calming. The owner came up, spent some time filling us in on his restaurant and he had passion for what he was doing...something I look for. With passion comes greatness. We only had a short time to eat, then get back to pick up one of our children and they were on it. Served quickly but most importantly ... excellent food. This was about 3 months ago and my wife and I were going out to eat tonight so I jumped on Yelp to help me come up with a place. I saw Pacific Fresh pop up and decided to go there again and almost disappointed in myself for not going sooner. I also heard they have a fantastic happy hour!

Top line: Good tasting raw fish, outdoor seating. I came here on a date and I had my bicycle. We got a table outside right away and my wheels were within arm's reach- can't beat that! Now my date on the other hand... Well let's just say I got to do all the ordering (no complaints there, but you've only been eating sushi for two months?!??! Where. have.you.beeeeeeen???) Anyway we ordered the shrimp ceviche and poke sampler. The ceviche is good, not quite Peruvian style (how I prefer) -the salsa is different- and still good. The traditional poke is delicious, as is one other, and the third is good but now amazing. Then we had a roll which had salmon and tuna- could be spider. It was good and not amazing. I'm partial to sashimi anyway, you can keep the rice. Other than the raw fish noobie, it was a nice experience. The service is decent- server suggested raw instead of cooked fish- yes, please!! I wish they listed details about the fish source in the menu. Inside the restaurant I saw a board with some info. on the way to the bathroom. Too late...
(4)Jeannie N.
Food was AH-MAZING! It was our first time coming here a few nights ago and I've got to say, we'll definitely be back. The service was superb & our server was very nice ! love love love this place.
(4)Rocker K.
Everything about this place is awesome from the decor, the food, and the service! My bff and I came here yesterday before 6p.m and it was fairly empty then but by the time we left, it was packed! We started out with the shrimp ceviche which was $9.50. It came with tortilla chips. It came out in a few minutes and it was very fresh and delicious with a strong lime flavor to it which I loved! There was a good amount of fresh shrimp in it. For the entree, we both got the fish tacos. You can get 2,3, or 4 pieces in it. It starts out at $12.00 for two pieces and for each additional one, it's another $2.00. I got the Baja fish tacos which was the fried fish. My bff got the shrimp taco that came with some spicy sauce. Since she doesn't like spicy food much, she asked the waitress if it could be made without the spice. The waitress said that it came pre-made but that she could ask for the sauce on the side to make it less spicy. The entree also comes with your choice of either regular fries, sweet potato fries, or spicy fries. It also comes with a side of black beans. I got the spicy fries. She got the sweet potato ones which were much better. Our order came out in about ten minutes. We both liked what we got. Her dish looked better since it had lots of fresh avocado slices on top. Mine didn't have that. The spicy fries weren't really that spicy and were just OK. Her sweet potato fries were much better. For desert, we got the caramel dish with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for $7.00. I forgot the name of the dish, but it's the only one with vanilla ice cream and caramel on the list. It came with some fried phyllo that was filled with caramel. It was delicious, especially the real vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce! The service was friendly and attentive. I liked the fact that a bottle of cold water was left at our table so that we didn't have to keep on asking for more water. My friend got constant refills on her iced tea. The guy who served us our food gave us extra sauce at no charge and explained to us what was in each one. The waiter and waitress that we got were knowledgeable about the food. There is outdoor seating there but I thought that we had the ideal spot in the enclosed patio by the water mural. I also like the fact that they have a large sink outside the bathroom. This place is in the Pruneyard next to Marshalls. Parking in this area is usually hard to find, so try coming here as early as you can.
(5)Jennifer W.
This place was packed on a Tuesday night..., trendy, but loud. So glad that we got to try this place! Food - peruvian ceviche-has coconut milk in it, not authentic peruvian fyi, but still tastes good - fish and fries- if you like fish and chips, these were good. got the spicy and sweet potato fries-yum - hawaiian poke - loved it. absolutely delicious - sticky ribs-tasty, but a bit salty I want to keep this a secret to myself because this place is already crowded as it is, I don't know if I want to tell them about Tuesdays! The best part of Tuesday! Half prices on bottles of wine! Woohoo! Cheers!
(4)Diana Y.
So pleasantly surprised by how good this place is! Nice, big clean space for the restaurant. Really friendly service (our waitress Denise was attentive, friendly, and all-around great). Fresh fish & great flavor for a pretty reasonable price! The food 1. Poke Trio (Lomi, lomi, california style, and white tuna) --FYI, you can pick whatever 3 types you want but those were what we went with. Lomi lomi and California Style were my favorites. The wonton chips made it even better 2. Japanese Wasabi bowl with Hawaiian Poke - has a slight spicy kick to it. Ordered it with half lettuce/half rice and it reminded me of those Korean heddobap bowls. Super good, plenty of fresh fish pieces, and overall, a really big winner 3. Korean BBQ with Skirt Steak & Sticky Ribs --Overall, solid dish. Definitely not authentic Korean but still pretty good. These bowls are pretty huge btw. 4. Fried Dulce de Leche "spring rolls" - crispy icecream is always a win. The only dish I didn't like at all was the Baja Shrimp ceviche. Everyone raves about their ceviche but maybe it's a different one? It wasn't raw and it was way too tangy for my taste. Sadly, this one dish was a fail but the rest of the dishes were good enough that I'd still recommend this place!
(4)Why Y.
First of all, this is NO place to go if you wish to carry on a conversation with a normal voice. It's very noisy. That was our first mistake The waitiress was, I'll say, most wonderful. Very helpful navigatiang the large menu. First of two appetizers, the Calif. rolls, were bland. And they had some weird flavor. I should have known to order these only in Japantown, or a restaurant that centers on that type of cuisine. The Sticky Ribs were much better. Our party of six sampled things such as a Chicken Terriyaki salad, swordfish, mahi mahi and the fried combo of fish, oyster and shrimp. Only the latter received any sort of praise. My mahi mahi was burned - sent that back. Again, lovely server was quick to wisk it away and bring that nice fried combo I eyed elsewhere on the table. The swordfish wasn't bad...but that diner had these strange potatoes served with it. I think there were skins of the potato mashed into the stuff. She didn't eat more than a forkful. Salad was so-so. That diner left 1/2 of it behind. She did eat the chicken, Like how this restaurant has lovely, cobalt-colored bottles of water on the table. Clean bathrooms. Sort of attractive atmosphere. But it's all about the food. In our party of 6 the consensus, was we will NOT return. We decided we can get fish at other places. And since the parking situation that nigiht was abysmal, we also figured out that we do not ever want to repeat the awful hassle we experienced with parking.
(2)Donna M.
Perhaps I just didn't order the right item on the menu, but I thought the food was alright. Ordered two fish tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries were pretty much burnt, the cod was battered (didn't say so on the menu), and to top it off poured a too generous amount of salsa over the taco. Having to scrape off what I could, I would have to say the overall flavor of the taco wasn't bad but wasn't the best either. Hopefully, my perception of this place changes once I try their happy hour.
(3)Vivian J.
Great Seafood place for Campbell! We met some friends for dinner and thank god we had a reservation since the place was packed for a Saturday at six! I had the two mix and match tacos with beans and side salad. I got the Mahi mahi and chicken and it was soo good! Tons of flavor! Hubby got the Korean Beef Bowl and was very happy with it. The service was very good with the waiter constantly filling up our drink glasses and seeing if we needed anything else. Prices were reasonable but the place is a little noisy since it's so packed. Parking is not easy since in the Pruneyard so I recommend you get an early reservation on the weekend. Overall we had a good time and we will be back!
(4)Chris N.
Always great food and great service. Parking can be a pain so be patient. Also, you should make a reservation otherwise you may have to wait.
(5)Chers S.
Pretty good food at a decent price. I always get the rice bowls which average $12-15. The ahi poke tuna over brown rice is my favorite. Try to make a reservation in advance as it tends to get crowded.
(4)Amanda H.
Went here for happy hour and dinner with my dad and sister. My sister and I split a thai rice bowl and a sunset sushi roll. We are vegetarian, so we really loved that we could substitute tofu instead of meat on our rice bowl (and you can also get half rice and half salad, and have brown rice if you want) and that they offer a veg roll that isn't just a boring cucumber roll. The food was delicious, and we were glad we shared cuz we were sooo full. Will definitely be back again to try more stuff. Service was nice, and considering it was a packed Friday night and we could barely hear each other talk, still had a good time.
(4)Caitlin C.
This is a great atmoshpere for a business lunch. The seafood is fresh, the server are great, the price is decent. The rices bowls are a major bang for your buck. They will last 3 meals. HUGE! The outdoor seating at night durning the spring and summer months is wonderful. This is not for families with small children, the tables are smaller then many chain restarunts and you dont have much space between you and the person next to you.
(4)Lynda A.
I've visited several times and agree with the majority of the reviews. The food is pretty good (quite tasty), but not phenomenal. Because of this, the items are a bit overpriced. The customer service is on par with the food. Pretty good but nothing to brag about. I really like the location and the ambiance of the restaurant, especially their covered outdoor patio. They are very on top of things, are quick to get you seated, and timely on the food orders. Very consistent. You'll walk out feeling satisfied.
(4)Gary J.
A solid 4 stars. The service, atmosphere and food are good. We had Hawaiian grilled Opah fish on a bed of coconut fritters and a lime/mango slaw. It all resonated originality of presentation, combination of blended flavors and ample portion size. We'll be back!
(4)Patty C.
The salmon is a step above cat food, but a step below good. Expensive and dimly lit. This location is my favorite spot to go to for blind dates incase they are ugly.
(2)Chelsea H.
I come here at least 3 times a week. Love the happy hour/ drinks. I was very disappointed when I was told by my server that "Bobby" the bartender could not make make me another kiwi flash because they were out of cucumber. This is outrageous since cucumbers are served in almost every sushi dish, including their hit drink the kiwi flash. What also offended me was when I told my server the spicy pacific was too spicy only to hear the bartender Bobby speak rudely about me having the nerve to send back a drink for being too spicy "hence the name spicy pacific "she said out loud as I walked to the restroom. All and all I love this restaurant but strongly advice management rid themselves of snotty rude bartenders speaking illy about guests. I work in a restaurant and this kind of behavior would not be tolerated. So thanks again Bobby for ruining my relaxing night out!

Quick tip: Meh, seafood is not fresh. salad was big but lettuce was brown. tasted like mall food. Was back up in SJ for mothers day and found this place which seemed like a fit since most of my family are super picky eaters but seafood is the one common denominator. Made a reservation through open table, for the day before mothers day. Call day of to check if I could add my brother and his girlfriend to the reservation. She tells me she doesnt have a reservation but will go ahead and add me down for 5. We get there and hostess says she has me down for a party of three(basically my original reservation), she accommodates us as it wasn't too crowded yet. RANT: I don't understand restaurants that cant get their reservation services in order. Either train whoever is managing them better or dont offer them. Sat down ordered drinks and appetizers.(shrimp ceviche), drinks and ceviche were good but thats about where it stopped. Salads were basically one of those mixed green bags from the grocery store topped with whatever the name of the salad was. like literally ice cream scooped out of a tub in the back. My poke was doused in sesame oil. My mom got one of their specials was either halibut or swordfish but it came out lukewarm and looked like it had come out of a vacuum package with pre made grill marks and had been remicrowaved. I told her to send it back. Didn't stick around for dessert. If i worked in the area i might come back for drinks during happy hour but def not somewhere id wanna eat again. Guess LA has spoiled me.
(2)Vicky T.
nom nom nom nom. This place was a nice change up from the usual at the Pruneyard. They were super accommodating for a large party of 14 (which included two kids below the age of 12). The tacos were nommy.. super suggest those. I got the basket (fish, oysters and coconut shrimp all fried) and I ate the whole thing (super rare). The salad was also good. Service all things considered (busy on a Friday night etc) was not too bad. Disappointment factor: No guava alcohol free drink :( (I can't drink soju...can't there be a mocktail or something?) The nojito (mocktail mojito) was not worth the 3.50.... should have just gotten a soda or iced tea.
(3)Mr B.
Well, the environment was nice, the service was just ok, and sushi was horrible . I gave them 3 because other guys were kinda happy with their food, but for sure not a sushi place, but nice place to hang out..
(3)Kelly T.
Pleasantly surprised! Thursday Date Night time and we are scratching our heads where to go... What is close by? Pacific Catch! The restaurant was pretty full except for a few tables and we managed to snag a 4 top for just the two of us to snuggle in (stop gagging). Our server (it's driving me crazy that I cannot remember her name but she was one of the best server's I have had in awhile; cute, short Asian girl with long hair, if that helps at all) helped me pick out a nice Sauv Blanc to start out with and J went with his usual Stout. I have been dying to try their Ceviche Trio but it just seemed like a bit too much food for us; so we went with the Calamari (a personal favorite of mine). It came with a spicy aioli sauce that was packed with tons of heat, even just a tad too much for me. I chose the Veggie Special Salad and he ordered the Japanese Wasabi Poke rice bowl. Both of our entrees were delicious and very fresh. J devoured his bowl, which had plenty of Ahi for me to pick from and my salad bowl seemed endless. I picked my salad based upon the dressing it came with, special Miso, and it was one of the best salads I have ever had and I also wanted to buy a bottle of their dressing. I highly recommend coming by just to try some of their signature dishes out, like their rice bowls and fish tacos. Smooth, loungey atmosphere and perfect service (for us).

Came here for a Sunday lunch at about 1pm. Wasn't crowded at all - casual but contemporary setting. New nice and clean. Seating available both indoors and outdoor patio. Small bar area with TVs so you can catch a game while you eat. Now on to the food. As the name suggests, its seafood focused. Had the Ono lunch special baja style - which means bbq'd with a nice spice rub and a tangy sauce - salsa like with a lot of lime. I enjoyed it. Sweet potato fries as a side are good too. Dining companion had the mahi mahi taco and chicken taco. Mahi Mahi taco had good reviews but the chicken was a bit dry (why would you order chicken here??). Other dining companion had the ahi tuna salad which was definitely asian influenced and said it was pretty good too. Definitely a good place to grab a casual seafood meal.
(4)Michelle H.
This review is a little late. I came here with a friend and her son about a month ago. I think it was within the first few weeks of opening. The decor is very nice. I like that everything is very open including the kitchen area so that you can see the chefs cooking. There's a nice partition that blocks the main dining area from the bar area which is great for the instances that it gets loud at the bar. Everyone there was extremely nice. Even workers that weren't our server was asking and making sure that everything was okay. We ordered a childs chicken teriyaki, chilli lime tortilla soup (the days special), some type of roll and a tuna salad. Everything was so so. Nothing memorable or anything that made me wanna come back. My only gripe was that our server didn't have much knowledge about the menu or the daily specials. When she came to our table to introduce herself she went over the days specials with a lot of "umms... i forgot..." After she left, we looked down and saw that there was a seperate menu for the specials and we could have read it ourselves. All in all, I'd be willing to give this place another shot. I'm just not exactly jumping for joy to come back ASAP.
(3)Jaime O.
Quality and service are way up again. I've visited 3 or 4 times since this review. The tom kha soup is tasty and fresh. The spicy tuna roll is freshly prepared and spicy. On my last visit I was offered the roll with TOBIKO (why yes, please!). Very good. Service was been exceptional.
(4)Megan M.
Had lunch here on Thursday & it was so delicious! My mom was visiting from out of state and was very impressed. She got the 2 taco plate - one steak & one shrimp - and I got the lunch special of the day (ling cod!). Can't wait to come again!
(4)Cynthia H.
I really wanted to like this place. Love the new decor. Drinks are great. Service is OK. The food is not that great. Been here twice. Tried the fish tacos. Gross. 2nd time I had the fish and chips. It was all batter and barely any fish. My friend's terryaki bowl was ok. Sorry I won't be back.
(2)Colette C.
This is a great place to go after work with friends. We put some tables together near the bar and had plenty of room. Our server, Tony was very attentive and friendly, even though we were probably a pain since we all arrived at different times and kept adding tables. We had the happy hour appetizers. The fusion food was great. We had a little of everything. The drinks were excellent.
(5)Jason M.
My wife and I decided to try this place out. We have never been here before and was looking for something new for date night. I am very glad we found this place. I can safely say this might end up being one of our "new favorite" place to go. I had soup + fish and chips, my wife had the chicken sandwich and we shared some sushi. Everything we had tasted great. The service was excellent . I have to say that you get decent portions for the price. And for those that like "spicy" in their foods, I like the fact that when their menu item says it has something spicy the food is actually spicy. Not like some places that claim something to spicy and blah. We will be going back!! My only negative would be the parking. The Pruneyard never has enough parking. This of course is not the fault of Pacific Catch. Even on a Wednesday night it was hard to find parking.
(4)K. A.
We came here tonight (Saturday) around 9 p.m. after seeing a 7 p.m. show at Camera 7. Recommendations by the waitress were good, food came out fast, and we enjoyed our meal.

Had dinner here on Friday night. Had one of their sushi rolls. Food was good but I have been in agony and violently ill the whole weekend.
(1)Jenna D.
I've come to this place for a birthday dinner and for a nice dinner with girlfriends. Thai bowl is great, as are their tacos. Bar is extensive. I like the different seating options they have...inside, outside, or in a screened in porch. Bit pricey, but good place for a celebration. Parking is kind of a pain in this shopping center, but worth it.

Great food specials and great service. I haven't had one bad meal.

My boyfriend and I took my son here for his birthday 8/31/12, he wanted salmon, and based on yelp saw they had that on the menu. We arrived at 7:20 on a Friday night, 45 min wait. Ok we thought no problem, then the manager said or you can try the bar it's open seating. I told him it was our first visit and thanked him for that info. He personally walked us over to the last table in the bar and brought over our third chair. AND then apologized he could find us a better table for our first visit. :) Nice. We ordered California roll and all really enjoyed that. My son ordered the hawaiian salmon bowl and absolutely LOVED it. I ordered the salmon salad and it was HUGE, couldnt finish it but salmon was yummy! My boyfriend ordered the Mahi Mahi and it came with various different veggies, but he didnt ASK server to make any changes. So he ate the Mahi Mahi only and he said it was ok. We will definitely be coming back to try the ceviche.
(4)Grey R.
Happen to walk by on a holiday afternoon and decided to try their happy hour 4 - 6 PM. Very reasonable pricing with lots of choices. Three varieties of fries (original, spicy, or sweet) for $3, several types of sushi rolls for $5, and finger-licking $7 sticky ribs. Highly recommend! Very attentive staff.
(5)Estela I.
I love the island tacos. I always get the steak and shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries when I get there. They are so yummy.
(5)Christina H.
Excellent place. The atmosphere is excellent. The food is excellent. The service is superb. And the drinks are great. Our server Mike G was amazing!!! Now on when I come here I will only eat here if he is my server. He was always there to answer questions or to take your order for new drinks or new menu choices. He wasnt pushy with dropping the check off which I love!!! Didnt feel rushed. I enjoyed the shrimp civiche but nit the hawaiin one. The sauce that comes with the calamari i did not like. Calamari was great with the chipotle tarter sauce and the spicy thai red sauce!!! Cocoanut shrimp is tasty. The Tacos are great!!!! Their portions are huge. If you dont like seafood the sandwhiches are very tasty. If you go ask for Mike G. You will not be disapointed. Oh and if you call ahead you can have your doggie with you on the outside patio!!
(5)Terry S.
I'm a regular here because the service and quality of food are always on point! Quality fish and great staff.
(5)Caroline L.
I like Pacific Catch, food is good, service is good, ambience is very comfortable. It is a good place for family, a few friends to hang out.
(4)Alexis P.
Love love love this restaurant. My family and I have tried at least half the items on the menu, and every morsel has been outstanding. Every time my parents visit from southern CA they insist on dining here (and they're pretty particular people). The food tastes fresh and high-quality, and the service is usually great. The ceviche trio is a must have!
(5)Lindsay V.
You would never guess this place is a chain. The atmosphere is nice, the patio outside is the best. I have tried everything from the rice bowls to their daily fish specials. The food never dissapoints and the portions are big enough, so you can take home and enjoy later. The wait staff is knowledgable and always friendly. Stop in on Tuesday nights where its half off a bottle of wine. If you are in Campbell, this is one place you should check out.
(5)Nok T.
We went to Pacific Catch about three weeks ago. The restaurant is in the Pruneyard Shoping Plaza, and used to be the old Left at Albuquerque. It has been tastefully remodeled. Their menu is a mix of every thing(American, Japanes, Hawaii grill and a few Thai staple items such as Tom-Kha Soup or Satay). I wanted to be the safe side so I ordered fish and chip. It came two pieces of fish and French fry ($10.00). It's standard. My husband had a seafood salad which he thought that was fresh although he thought the fish tasted funny. The service was friendly and prompt. We will be back and try other dishes.
(3)Tiffany L.
I have been meaning to try the one in SF, but it is always crowded. I went here for lunch and it was good, but that was about it. The food was tasty but they were a bit ordinary and expensive. Additionally, service here is slow so don't come here if you need to grab a quick bite.
(3)Kun c.
This place is so good! Can't wait to go back and bring my girlfriend. I came here for lunch today with a few co-workers, we heard this from a friend and had to try it out. Pacific catch has the atmosphere, ambiance, great food, great staff, and many more. Their fusion style of cooking is what you typically see in SF but down here in the BAY! We had Fried calamari and sticky ribs for apps. Both were very good. Calamari's were lightly fried with lemon and jalapeno but it wasn't spicy. The sauce that comes with it has a slight kick in a good way. The Sticky ribs were very good, nice crisp on the outside and juicy inside, the sauce was to me personally a little salty but it was very good nonetheless. As our entree we had the Hawaiian poke and Fish and chips, MY they were very good, probly the best Hawaiian poke i've had since i've been in Hawaii. The fish and chips were lightly fried as well and very delicious. The poke is an appetizer but if you get it make sure you can share it with at least 2-4 ppl. This place is great, nice beer selection and wine. They also have happy hour and best of all their service. One of the best in Campbell, beats the crap out of Rock Bottom around the corner. No snobs or bitchy services. I will def come back and I'm going to tell a lot of people about this place. On a side note, i saw a lot of people order the sushi rolls and bowls that they had so i will assume they r very good.
(5)Alex K.
I'm not a fish person., but this restaurant can change that. It has just the right degree of Asian-Island-American fusion. I love their Hawaiian Poke, I wonder if I ever will order something else again there.
(5)Ashley B.
I LOVE this place. It's great when we want a decent meal out (and perhaps a few cocktails), but didn't have the foresight to make a reservation somewhere. The food is usually solid and the fancy, fruity drinks are always tasty. I'd give it 5 stars if I could rave about the service. Haven't had any service problems, but haven't been wowed either.
(4)Tejas E.
I love this place, some of the best Ceviche's I've ever had, very interesting.
(5)Janie K.
Hubby and I came for a glass of wine and appetizers. He loves the spicy pacific martini. The Korean sticky ribs are delicious, as are the sweet potato fries. I also love their fish tacos. Nice staff and friendly and great service. You can't go wrong here.

We stopped by for Happy Hour last Friday and really enjoyed the Thai coconut shrimp, California roll and the spicy pacific martini. We'll be back for sure.

Food is pretty decent. Ambiance with outdoor patio is nice. Service was quick and attentive. There for lunch and you could have shot a cannonball thru the place without hitting anyone...generally not a good sign for a restaurant...but it is well off the beaten path for business lunch crowds in the area.

We went for our 1st time on Monday night....AWESOME!!!! The Menu has such great choices and the quality of food was excellent....Elizabeth our server was extremely friendly, helpful and gave us great information about the items on the menu... We tried way too much food...the inside out california roll was excellent, sticky ribs...yummy, and the Korean Bowl with sliced marinated steak ...delicious!!! Can't wait to go back...in fact, I am having lunch there with a good friend on Wednesday!!!

We really like this place for lunch. The fish is always fresh. Some of our favorites are Poke Bowl in a roll, the BBQ salmon sandwich, all of their rice bowls and their veggie salad. The use of sprouts, edamame and daikon really adds complexity to their dishes. Service has always been friendly and attentive enough. On the down side, some of their sauces are a little too sweet and they tend to overdress their salads but that's easily remedied by asking for dressings and sauces on the side.

Manager posted that they would give us comp. dinners if we would come back. But it has not happened?

Fresh, fresh, fresh...yummy I have so far been in 4 times since they opened...I have tried the Baja Ceviche, Peruvian ceviche, the CA roll and a yummy shrimp special. The service was great the chef came out was super nice. The drinks are also really good Mojito and Margaritas, they use fresh lime juice. Plus they are a green restaurant...now that makes me happy. Check it out you wont be disappointed...:)

Tonight was our first time at a Pacific Catch, it was fabulous! Service couldn't be better, food was great, check it out... I would make reservations, they just opened about a month ago and they are pretty busy
(5)Jennifer S.
Yum!! Grabbed a two taco platter to-go today--was very delicious! got one shrimp and one steak! the flavors were very different, but it was really good! got em with sweet potato fries--they were very delicious as well.
(4)Shanna S.
Went here for lunch with my cousin for the first time and it was AMAZING! The restaurant is tastefully decorated. I would give the service 4.5 stars because the server was friendly and i had no problems. However she never came back to check on us ask us how the food was after it was delivered and i noticed she wasn't terribly busy. But not a huge deal because my food was amazing! I ordered the salmon teriyaki bowl over 1/2 lettuce 1/2 brown rice. It was so delicious and i would say pretty healthy as nothing was processed or covered is sauce. I would love to come here pretty often the only thing is i live 40 minutes away, so i have to find a new excuse to come down to campbell more often! overall loved the experience and food, and my plate was only $15, so not bad! Parking is the pruneyard is tough though.
(5)Mike S.
Came here while in town for work. It was an easy walk from the courtyard Marriott. Being alone on the road, I wanted a place where I could eat at the bar, watch some olympics and eat tasty food. I wanted something light, so I went with the Salmon Salad. What a great decision! The salmon was delicious and so fresh. Cooked perfect. The salad with the green beans and all the other elements was delicious. The dressing was extremely tasty and best of all....the fried salmon skin croutons were whimsical and delicious. The interior is really cool. Love the blue water bottles. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
(5)Raffi A.
Great seafood. Very interesting recipes that aren't the norm. Went here for a graduation party and enjoyed all the food that we had. Great sweet potato fries, coconut shrimp, fish n chips, and beer selection. The bowls are huge too and full of different items.

Saturday, July 28, Birthday Event, 3 people..6 pm When the birthday Mom finds something in her salad, the offer to replace the salad was a good start, the apology from the manager saying that it happen sometimes...really then I am not going back... The offer then to comp the salad and her 2 drinks was a good start. It would of been nice to Comp the dinner of the daughter and father as they had to cheer up the Mom... I have been here 7 times and its hard for me to write this as this was one of our favorite places for dinner.
(1)Linda F.
We chose this restaurant because of the number of stars, being new to the area, and we were not disappointed! The food was excellent: the calamari was crispy and fresh with a brilliant spicy aoli, and the shrimp poke was spicy and tangy. We both had rice bowls which were huge. It was nice to have half rice, half salad greens with the bowls. My portion of mahi mahi seemed a bit small at first, but with everything else in the bowl - grilled pineapple, crispy thin sliced onions (to die for!), carrots, mushrooms, peas, plus the rice and greens - I really didn't need anything bigger. My husband's seared ahi tuna looked and tasted delicious, and was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful in answering our questions, and topped up my iced tea without me having to ask. The atmosphere was great with a really good mix of people: seniors, families, couples, small groups. We came away feeling very satisfied and happy with the experience, and we will definitely go back. One thing to note: parking can get difficult at busy times so be prepared to hunt for a space!
(5)Karen P.
Love this place! My mother and I went for dinner on a Sunday night... Having lived around the area for more than 10 years I never knew about this place! Thanks to yelp, we decided to try it out. First of all, the service was great-- I literally made reservations 30 minutes beforehand and everything was ok. The waitress was very nice and polite. My mother tried one of the tuna rolls and she liked it; I had the Hawaiian poke salad-- delicious! It was the first time that I tried a Hawaiian poke. There was a lot of fresh tuna/veggies mixed in an asian ginger type dressing. The Kiwi Flash was perfect with the seafood. Definitely will be coming back again:)

So so happy to have Pacific Catch in the South Bay! I've been a fan since dining at their location near Golden Gate Park. I had the Rising Sun Roll (Best Ahi I have had in the South Bay, hands down). No soy sauce, wasabi or ginger needed, each bite was perfect. Opted for a "Nojito" a non-alcoholic mojito, since it was lunch. Delicious and refreshing. Chef Chandon stopped by our table after our meal, who was a super nice guy. He told us about him challenging Johnny Knoxville to a wasabi eating contest. I want to eat here everyday.
(5)Christine P.
Hawaiian poke wasabi bowl was super yummy and the dulce de leche fried "spring rolls" dessert was amazing! Would def make the trip out there just for the dessert! FYI: free dessert with your first check in on four square :)
(5)Leighton C.
I grew up on the west side of Oahu and can say that the poke is actually really good. Get the original poke with the wanton crisps it's delicious. The decor is nice, the servers were very friendly, but it get's really loud. A good lunch place or a family place but not a great dinner date place (which is what my wife and I went there for). The wait was 20 minutes on a Saturday night so not great but not bad. My wife's coconut shrimp were over cooked, we told them and they took them off the bill which was very nice, and my short ribs were also over cooked (burned) but I ate them anyway. Overall the poke saved it for me.
(4)Liz H.
Great new restaurant and atmosphere. We first tried it for my birthday, a party of 20. We sat in the back glassed room and had Gabe as a waiter. He was great! He helped with the menu, gave some great suggestions and his service was on point, I couldn't say nicer things about a him. The only suggestion I think I can make about the restaurant as a whole is that the quality of Ahi could be a little better quality but it was still flavorful in the wasabi sauce it comes with.
(5)Allison R.
Definitely make a reservation if you don't want to wait for dinner. This place was packed when we went on a Friday night. We had to wait about 35 min for a table for two at about 6pm. And by the time we were seated, the current wait for newcomers without reservations was at least an hour. We checked in on Foursquare and got a free sweet potato fries appitizer (very yummy). I love that they have a gluten free menu too. The Thai Curry bowl with Mahi Mahi was fantastic. And I love that they offer brown rice & even do half rice, half greens (which I did and it was delicious). The bf got the Japanese Wasabi bowl with Hawaiian Poke and Seared Ahi, and he also did the half brown rice, half greens. He liked it, but is not a fan of ginger and he assumed it was going to be more discreet, so did not ask for it to be left out. The ginger was shredded throughout the bowl, so he had to pick it out. Next time he'll know to ask for no ginger. The portions are HUGE too. We both took half of our bowls home to eat the next day. Great service. Cute place. Will be nice to go to in the summer with their outdoor patio too!
(4)Rae S.
Food was okay, drinks were good, service was fab.
(3)G L.
Food is great! Tastes frsh and the menu is simple. Love the sweet potatoe french fries and the drinks. Great presentation overall with the food as well.
(4)Liz V.
Went here for Father's day!! Cool atmosphere got there around 5 we had reservations they sat us immediately which was very nice. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because the serving size were pretty small. The shrimp ceviche appetizer excellent taste, loved it but I think only 1 person could eat that maybe 2 but not really very small for the price. I like how they had blue water bottles that was classy good touch. Service was good for it being father's day. The meal flavor it self well, it was good could have been better. Once again the serving size was more like a sample size not meal size. Overall I would come back and try again. Oh yeah I order the fish & chips catch of the day Cod. Good but small I should have order 4 piece instead of 2 piece. Next time !! It's all about the SIZE it does matter sometimes. Didn't feel full, felt like we had a snack not a meal. I want to try one more time. I hope its better. :)

The staff are friendly and the service is great which is why this place get's two stars. The drinks are strong and they need to be. We had the peruvian ceviche this was a sour, creamy slightly spicy not very tasty mess. It had lots of bay scallops in it, a half tablespoon of avocado a few tiny pieces of tuna that looked like they were end pieces of a cut (that hopefully went to a more deserving dish). All of this came swimming in a mayonnaise? sour cream? orange 'sauce'. It was not super appetizing. I order the ceviche for the fish; and when you can't taste, forget about see, the fish, what's the point. The grilled mahi mahi was cooked excellently. That is all I can say for the entree. The chimichurri sauce, was again, made with cream. They should have called it cilantro mayo because it certainly did not taste like any chimichurri I have ever had. I scraped it off the fish. I scraped some other random addition of sour cream off the fish too. (What is it with these guys and cream!). The sides were an overcooked rice and beans that were mushy and tasted primarily of red peppers, and a confused plantain. The plantain could not decide if it wanted to be a chip and crispy or just toasted on the outside and creamy in the middle. It ended up a tasteless hybrid, over cooked in the middle without being crispy. There was some slaw on the plate that provided no purpose. The whole dish was not cohesive in anyway. It left you wondering if the person putting it together just went, mmm, I'll add some of that, and now some of this, and oh look, that slaw might be good too. It just was not well thought out so the tastes on the plate did not meld well together. That coupled with poor execution did not make for a great experience. In the bay area you can go a lot of places for a well executed piece of grilled fish and there was nothing added or special here, in fact they nearly ruined the fish with their poor attempts at sauce. I probably won't go back.

My dad was in town from NY and my sisters and I wanted to have dinner before dropping him off at the airport. We had a great waiter, great service. He offered and told us about half price bottle night on Tuesdays. All the food was yummy. I had the daily special of Oapa. Super yummy! My 2 sisters, Dad, and brother in law ALL loved our meals! I recommend and go Tuesday night for 1/2 price wine bottle night!
(5)Karissa B.
We had driven by Pacific Catch a number of times, but never really gave it much thought. After looking it up on Yelp one night we decided to give it a try and we are glad we did. First, the atmosphere is really nice and even on the weekend the wait times are very reasonable. I like the touch of the goldfish and edamame, though my son usually eats most of them. We have been to PC twice now and between all of us we have tried the Coconut prawn fish and chips (with sweet potato fries), 2 different flavors of rice bowls with Korean sticky ribs, skirt steak, ahi poki and Lomi Lomi poki, and a special appetizer of coffee rubbed ribs. Everything was delicious! The ribs fall off the bone with tons of flavor, the skirt steak is as tender as a filet and cooked to perfection and the pokis were fresh and flavorful. We've been too full to try any dessert so far but the options look great. I also highly recommend the "Nojito" which is a non-alcoholic mojito that is made with fresh ingredients and is not overly sweet. Being pregnant, I am always looking for something good to drink, and this made me want to start making them at home. The children's menu also has some good options especially for kids like ours that don't really like the standard chicken fingers or Mac n cheese. Next time we'll try some of the fish tacos which all sound great.
(5)Clarke H.
Great fish. Great Margaritas. Reliable and precise. Good for business and good for fun.
(4)Jayne B.
My friend and I ate here for dinner--it wasn't busy at the time, but did get quite crowded to where we had to shout across the table to hear each other. We both had the thai rice bowls--she had the salmon and I had tofu. I liked the dish--it had plenty of rice, and perhaps a bit light on the rest. However, the flavor was good. I'd like to try another item on the menu next time to get a better idea...
(3)Ed V.
Great Food and Great Service. Waiter was really cool and even told us that if you sign up on Foursquare you can get a free dessert for the first check in. Also told us about Punchh(that's how its really spelled) which lets you keep your stamp card electronically. Will definitely come back again.
(5)Mike S.
Excellent food average at best service. We keep coming back because the food is great but the experience is pretty consistently compromised by lousy service. Went there last night for a family celebration, food came out cold and we had empty water glasses and the bottle of water they provide remained empty for 15 minutes. I had to go up to the manager and ask for water! our waitress was eating in the bar during our dinner service. Love the wasabi rice bowl with salmon, it's really too bad that they can't train their wait staff better and hire sharper people.
(3)Janet D.
Their steak tacos are delicious, teriyaki bowls not so much, sushi rolls are pretty good, and our server Kelly was super great. I would come back if my friends wanted to go. There are much tastier dining options in the area, but it was a change of pace for me in the good ol' prune yard. Their spicy chicken chipotle sandwiches were a hit with the friends too. Other than that meh.
(3)Luis S.
I came back here again, but this time I brought my mother along. I came here on 4/12. Here is why I give it a 3 stars again: We called for reservations and they had an opening at 8:30 which was fine and it was an hour away. We had called originally for the wait time and they had said it was a 15-20 mins wait, but we just wanted to be sure. Once we got there which was at 7:30 I told the hostess we had reservation and arrived early and asked for the wait time, which was the same. I asked if we can be seated early since the wait time was just 15-20 mins. We did not get seated until our actual reservation time. We waited an hour to be seated after they had told us the wait time was 15-20 mins. Once we finally got seated, they gave us an option of what kind of water and we got it fairly quick. Then we were finally ready to order which took awhile. My fiance had ordered some kind of fruit drink which we never got. We ordered the cabo calamari which was not too bad. My mom had ordered an asian bowl that had salmon, which was good, my fiance got the firecracker roll, which was good, I got the special where I can pick 3 from a menu; I ordered the poke, mahi, and something else I forgot. I got to taste all the food they had ordered which was super good! After we had finished our food our server never came around and checked on us like last time. They had a table next to us and even asked them if they needed anything. The server had completely ignored us. Even asked the table next to us if they wanted refills on their drinks. Yet, my fiance had never received her drink. Lastly getting the check even took awhile. Overall same as the last review I wrote. Food was super good, but the service is where they lack. I think I need to try a different location and maybe the service would be better or just do take out.
(3)Ashlie H.
A couple of friends brought me to this restaurant for a girls night! Was skeptical at first, because I'm not big on Fish, but they have lots of options for the non fish lover. Food was delicious and service was great! Best restaurant in the Pruneyard in my opinion.
(4)Cathy B.
Chamin, Pacific Catch's Manager, contacted me about my review shortly after I had originally posted it. They did extensive review of their inventory which showed to me how much they care about diners' well-being. They sent comp cards to me which was very nice. I'm very impressed with how they treated the situation and commend them for their customer service.
(4)Frances H.
We went here for Valentines Day, had less than a 5 minute wait. I ordered the salmon and avocado sanwhich with coconut shrimp for an appetizer. The food was really good, good service and atmosphere, we will be coming back.
(4)Lisa S.
I LOVE this place! One of my new favorite restaurants! The tuna poke is amazing! Everything is really fresh and tasty. I also love the french fries. However, I think one of the best things about this place is the atmosphere. I don't feel like I'm in San Jose when I'm here...which is great.
(5)Alice S.
Came here for a bday party of 15+ it was nice to have a bit of space to the right of the restaurant for a long table. I had the ceviche trio sample with scallops, fish and poke. I have to say the poke was REALLY GOOD!!!! the scallops and fish were soso. I did have a very delicious pomegranate/pink cocktail drink there that I would order again.
(3)Anne M.
Went there three times in a row, two lunches and one dinner. WOW! Welcome to the Pruneyard, and I hope you have a ton of business. I was impressed with the pan-asian variety and thrilled with the selections at the bar. The sauces are different and tasty, the salmon served well (but a little dry, understandable with the huge quantity they were serving on Saturday night. Everything else a dance for the palate.
(4)Zoe G.
A current favorite for my husband and I. The menu has a great selection, portion sizes are good, and everything is very tasty. The drinks are the best in town (try the Mai Tai - you wont be disappointed!) and the service and atmosphere is great. We love sitting in the bar area for some drinks and appetizers.
(5)Brianna E.
The service was amazing, as well as the food. I have been telling all my friends to go there & I can't wait to go again.
(5)Juan M.
The Restaurant is nice and food is ok but i dont like being rushed. It seemed like our waitress wanted us out quick!!
(4)Patricia P.
This IS as good as it gets. Food-tasty and fresh and unique. Service-welcoming and warm. Atmosphere-relaxing and classy. So many great things to say but one is that they are one of the ONLY restaurants that is composting and recycling at the entire Pruneyard. I LOVE that they are focussed on sustainable efforts. Really love to support businesses like this one. Why doesn't Campbell make recycling and composting the law like in SF?? I wonder???
(5)James B.
I ordered the ahi steak wasabi salad that literally tasted like sushi and sashimi. The dressing was probably the star of the show of my dish. It had a spicy bite to it which came from the wasabi. The ahi was grilled nice and had the smoky taste which was fantastic. My gf ordered the ceviche which was super citrusy but tasted great! The shrimp were huge and meaty.
(5)Lana M.
Service was professional, prompt, and courteous! The food is delicious. We ordered fish and chips with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Fresh and yummy fish. Also, tried their platter of ceviches. Nice ambiance indoors. Outdoor seating as well. Definitely coming back for more great dishes.
(4)Brian T.
Food: We ordered the Hawaiian Ahi Poke w/ Wonton Crisps which was amazing! This is a must try! We also got the carrot ginger soup which I wasn't a huge fan of. The fish and chips were okay, nothing too great. My friend also got the wasabi rice bowl, he also said he didn't care too much for it. As for the service, it was pretty difficult getting a hold of people. I ordered the lemongrass ice tea which was refreshing. The ambiance of the place was nice, i liked the structure of the inside.
(3)Jonathan J.
Second time around: I ordered the Chipotle mahi salad (subbed with salmon) and to be honest, I didn't really expect much. The Thai curry bowl I had last time was amazing, and salad seemed like a huge step down but it'd be boring if I ordered the same thing every time. The salad was an extremely pleasant surprise. Every bite was bursting with flavor; the bowl is packed full of different things like avocado, beans, and this amazing sauce. I get the feeling that every dish here must be equally magnificent. My friend ordered the Thai Curry bowl with salmon and sticky ribs, and raved about how tender and delicious the ribs were, and how the curry was among the best she'd ever had. We also got the ecstasy roll, gluten free, which seemed to just mean without sauce. This one wasn't bad, but probably would have been much better with sauce. I hate dietary restrictions... but anyway, this place is awesome!
(5)John Z.
Fresh, delicious seafood!
(4)Lindsay M.
Hawaiian poke's onolicious!!!
(4)George H.
The ceviche and poke appetizers were incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our entrees had much to live up to and definitely did not disappoint. All were excellent. The manager, Rob, is personable and truly loves what he does. We'll be back soon. Cheers.
(5)Adriana D.
Came here for company holiday gathering. The apps, main dish and desserts were amazing. Our waiter Aaron was very nice and attentive.
(5)LuLu M.
I love Pacific Catch! What a great new addition to the Campbell neighborhood. Our waiter/bartender, James, is incredible! He is friendly, knowledgeable and if you go there more than twice he will remember your name and more than likely to remember what you ordered which is a great touch! So my very favorite dish at Pacific Catch is the Poke - it comes in a huge bowl, it's super flavorful and it is served with a ton of tasty crispy won tons. That in itself is a meal! But I do always have to order one of the fresh fish tacos or the salmon salads - all the fish is delicious! Oh and try the organic agave margaritas :-)
(5)Quincy M.
Pacific Catch is a great place. My favorite items on the menu are the fish and chips and the tacos. Either you can't go wrong with and the sweet potato fries are absolutely delicious! Usually not to crowded either and you can get a table in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a relatively cheap, not to expensive place that has good food, Pacific Catch is definitely a good stop to make.
(5)JP P.
If you can stand the attitude from the host, Jordan she will give you plenty. Drinks are under par and pricy. As for food stay away from pacific Ceviche, a word to the chef Google the meaning of Ceviche. The food, mixed basket and the Sonoma style shrimps, looks good on the menu not on the plate and it tastes like cardboard box, I'm disappointed. Over all experience a 1 out of 5. Boo
(1)Vanessa D.
I first heard about this place when I performed at the Yelp Holiday Hangover party, the Baja Ceviche was aaaamazing!! A friend and I went there last night, made reservations and were seated within 5 min (awesome). Our server, Raul (?), was so nice and polite. We of course got the Baja Ceviche, it was faaaabulous and then I had the teriyake rice bowl with mahi mahi, so much food! Didn't go to waste though! I also had a mai-tai and wow it was perfect! Loved it, would def go back and tell everyone about it! Good job guys!!
(5)Wen B.
yummy food, i got the chicken teriyaki bowl and it was delish... tons of food.. also, make sure to get the smores puffs and mochi fondue..
(4)Skip R.
Family of three at 5pm Sunday night Oct 2nd... In early to beat the crowd. Walk right up and took us right in. Very few people in the establishment.. We left at 6:45pm...you gotta be kidding me. This place is sooooooo slooooooow... :( No explanation from server on why... Fish and chips, Thai rice bowl and a chicken salad, pretty uncomplicated staples. Early on the owner(?) was making a point to visit each table, for some he reason bypassed ours. I guess he must have known if he asked he would be told... Too much noise, ranks right there with Alexander's, Morton's and Home Town Buffet! Daughter liked the place, wife and myself would not return. Too bad, always looking for a new place for customers and vendors. Stick to Satana Row, this place will run it's course quickly at current rate.
(1)NewTo S.
Great food, but I wish they would bring the unagi bowl back. The Califonia Salmon sandwich is awesome and their fish n' chips ain't too shabby either.
(4)Kevin H.
The food was solid and well cooked, typically restaurants overcook fish (especially shrimp), but both the shrimp tacos as well as the salmon was done very well. Presentation wasn't over the top, but neither was the price, I enjoyed the experience and will try it again, this is a welcome addition to the Pruneyard.
(4)Michael G.
Three decent fish tacos with fries for $15. I've had better in San Diego at a fraction of the cost. Want to try the korean barbeque bowl next.
(3)Lori B.
Great fresh food! We had the Coconut Prawns, Spicy Tuna Roll, Crab Cakes and Calamari and I was very suprised at how wonderful everything was. The Tuna Roll was huge! The flavors were great and the atmosphere was cool. The seating was nice, everything was clean. The only negative comment I would have was our server was not well trained, and everytime we asked a question (like could we have more water) he had to go ask someone else. He did not know the different types of sushi and was not able to comment when asked if he could reccomend any of the dishes. He was also very slow, but we had time and wanted to try different dishes. I would say to try this place if you are looking for a great food experience!
(4)Ann A.
Was so happy to see Pacific Catch open since this corner of the Pruneyard has been vacant since Left at Albuquerque closed down years ago. (Miss the frozen grape margaritas Left used to serve). The first time I tried to eat here I was turned away--Friday night and they weren't even taking walk-ins--okay, glad to see they're getting business. On our second attempt, the host told us to wait a few minutes, but then another couple walked in and he sat them promptly. I jumped up to remind the host that we were there and he admitted he had forgotten about us. Not the greatest first impression, but I'm thinking they're new, I'll keep an open mind. Have since eaten lunch here 3 times. The goldfish-shaped pretzels they serve are addictive, and the plate liners imprinted with old Honolulu newspaper articles are a nice touch. I enjoy the ambiance--it seems very versatile--good for a power lunch, drinks with friends or a date. Food: Steak tacos and fish & chips are worth ordering again. Crab melt was a big disappointment--very onion-y. My boss also disliked the melt. The pickled cauliflower accompanying the melt was so awesome, I'm inspired to try my hand at recreating it. The side salad with miso and edamame is also very good, fresh, not the tired ol side salad most places serve. On my last visit, on the recommendation of our server, I ordered the Vietnamese steak sandwich and it was "meh". I mean, I just couldn't help but compare it to banh mi which is $3 and super delicious. Pacific catch's $12 version was served on ciabatta with a sriracha mayo; steak was tender, but it missed the mark for me. If you're going to turn a 3buck sandwich into a 12 buck sandwich, it best be good. That said, the spiced fries are tasty, and the fried Dulce de Leche spring rolls are filled with delectable custard and caramel and served with a good ice cream. I'll be back to try happy hour.
(3)Elizabeth R.
Eating here was like eating at the mall. Pleasant enough but a little too standardized. I had the tuna Hawaiian Poke, essentially sushi-grade tuna with a light soy sauce accompanied by potato chips. Our server was friendly, helpful, accurate, and on time, but had that faraway "get me out of here" look. This space has been lots of different restaurants, maybe this one will succeed. It's convenient for business lunches but otherwise, there are lots of other Asian fusion places to go to and you should do that.
(2)Lisa D.
Truly healthy hawaiian asian flare, this restaurant is the best. Prices are great and I highly recommend
(5)Ali H.
came for lunch on a monday...ordered the wasabi ahi sandwich with spicy fries. it was very good, fish was fresh. service was good, cant wait to go back and try more off the menu!!!
(4)Jenn B.
Daaaa---yuuuummmm!!! Came in for lunch last week... Ah-mazing! I loooove the decor of the place...We ordered the fish and chips (pretty good) and the mahi mahi tacos (incredible). The spicy fries are yuuummmmy! Our server was Daniel and he was incredible! Super on top of his game! Such a good time, we decided to go back later in the week! HOLY try the SUSHI!!! I came back for happy hour and was SUUUPPER impressed! If I could give this place 6 stars...I totally would!
(5)Sean D.
I will start this off by saying I am not a big fan off sushi or seafood so going in I thought I wouldn't like this place very much. I went for a birthday get together with two others. Got seated right away and we ordered the sweet potato fries, they were very delicious. Our waiter was a character, he sort of was weird but in a funny way. I enjoyed his strange way of service you can say. As for I got the steak tacos, they were quite good! I enjoyed them a lot more then I expected. The ladies I were seemed to enjoy the dishes they got too. I am guessing they have a lot of good food if you like sushi or fish. Normally not a place I would go to again but they have a nice place and interesting food. They also gave us a free dessert since It was someones birthday, it tasted really good. I cannot say I would go back here much but maybe once or twice a year,, nice place just not by type of food.
(4)Ann W.
Good food and excellent service! Love their steak tacos!! Drinks are good, but pricey.

Love the place. I was very impressed with their customer service. Really good!! The food was good, but spicy. I will go again. I love the water glass bottle that they serve at the beginning.

I have been to the Pacific Catch in SF many times! So glad we have one here in the South Bay now. The food is always fresh and just the best. I went with the Vietnamese Sandwich this time. Very good. I still love the Wasabi Bowl, my favorite. As always, sweet potato fries are so great. Glad to see nothing is lost in translation and the SB Pacific Catch is just as good as the one on Chestnut, SF.

Had high expectations from the solid average review. We ordered the ahi poke and man was that bad. It didn't seem fresh and all of it was saturated in soy sauce so it was very salty and barely edible. My brother doesn't like to point out problems with his meal so I had to speak up to the waitress when she asked how it was. Her reply "I'll tell the chef." In hindsight, we should have just sent it back. I ordered a mahi mahi sandwich and it was okay. The fish was cooked well but I could have done without the avocado and the mixed salad just thrown onto the top is boring, messy and uninspired. Maybe they shine on other dishes but the poke was a travesty. The server didn't really seem to care about the complaint regarding the poke and offered no other suggestions or replacement for it. The decor is nice (despite having The White Stripes blaring), but the food seems contrived and service was indifferent. Low value for money in my opinion.

Inside Out Roll amazingly good. Grilled Mahi Mahi with tomatillo sauce outstanding.

This seafood restaurant is a welcomed addition to the Pruneyard Shopping Center and it has gotten popular in a short period of time. For cerviche lovers, this is the place. The atmosphere is really nice and semi-outdoor seating is available. The food is influenced from both Latin America and Asia so the variety is very good. If you don't like fish, there are chicken and steak dishes to satisfy you.

I really wanted to check this place out since it was so highly reviewed on yelp and because it's in my neighborhood. Me and my boyfriend went in around 7:30 on a Saturday night and we were seated within 5 minutes. The service was good, we had a really sweet waitress that helped me choose a drink-- It was a cucumber cocktail that was really good. We ordered the ceviche trio which offered generous portions of each ceviche. My fav was the pacific style, the others were good but seemed a bit over seasoned and a tad salty. I had the ahi bowl which was ok. Again it was over seasoned to the point that I couldn't take but a few bites. My bf had the sticky ribs which he thought were excellent. The food arrived really quickly which was nice. The ambiance is newer, modern but still relaxed. I would try again but it's not something that I crave.

I really wanted to like this place... First of all, even though the restaurant was practically empty (Saturday lunch), we got plopped at the worst table in the place. I saw other guests arguing with the hostess about where they were seated, and probably should have done the same, but I figured we'd been in and out pretty quickly, right? I ordered the Wasabi bowl, after checking on the menu and with the waitress that it has no cilantro. And so, of course, it turns out the salad in the Wasabi bowl is mixed with cilantro. Bleah. Well, the wasabi salmon it came with was good, anyway. I managed to eat half of the meal, and then a large party came in and was seated at the table next to us. We pretty had to much leave our table so we wouldn't get bumped by the people milling around our table. So given that a large group was expected and the restaurant was half empty, why did the idiot hostess seat us there? Not sure, but I was really happy to leave that place. On the bright side, the waitress was really nice and the staff very friendly. This place just needs better management and a more accurate menu.

wow I feel like my we ate at a different place than the rest of the reviewers here. We ate here before Christmas on a Wednesday night. It was moderately busy. Let's start with the hostess who was obviously late for her second job as a prostitute. The dress code needs some ramping up . We had three guys pouring water , providing menus and overall hanging on us. the topper was the creepy waiter. Straight out of the Sopranos. I love attentive service but we could not carry on a conversation. The topper was when the creepy waiter buzzed my ear and growled , " How's that Mahi Mahi treating you ???" ugh get away from me !!! the portions are scant , they do not offer salads . In fact , creepy waiter scoffed at that notion. The food tasted fine not great. It wasnt super expensive but you didnt get alot for the money. With so many places to choose from , we wont be venturing back here
(2)Eric A.
Good happy hour prices for food and drinks. Great atmosphere with lots of TV's to watch sports during our meal. This place gets busy, so get there early. The wait staff was great as well as the bartenders.
(5)Jonas A.
A very positive experience! Great food, great service and great facilities.
(4)Lily L.
must-get: poke (in the rice bowls or salad) perk: complimentary sparkling water :)
(4)P G.
Found my new favorite restaurant but the only bad part is that a whole lot of other people found out about it too! Great assortment of food at very reasonable prices. Husband had the fish and chips which he said were ok but my tacos were WONDERFUL! i had the mahi-mahi and then shrimp tacos. Both were flavorful, fresh and and extremely tasty. Flavors were crisp and the best part.....not greasy at all. I'll be back!
(4)Christopher K.
YES! If you are looking for a great dining experience, ask to be seated in GABRIEL's section if he is working, we asked last night and he works on Friday nights, he is the reason we continue to go back to this place because of his honest menu answers and his charisma and personality, myself and my girlfriend love the food and the service. Serviche combo platter appetizer & the 3 Taco combo platter with spicy fries is the way to go!! THE BEST! I didnt really dig the Teriyaki bowl, so I stick with my tacos! p.s. the grande margaritas are fire too!!
(5)A. B.
Great service, very good food. 1st time there, but overall a great place. I like!
(4)Wang H.
Good fish & chips and fish tacos. Usually come here for lunch about once per week. it's a great deal using the Passport card. I can get a decent for less than $15. I need to try more stuff on the menu.
(4)Kristen B.
I really enjoyed this place. The PC in Corte Madera was just as good. I had sushi the first time and the rice bowl with brown rice and teriyaki chicken. The sweat potato fries are great as well. Both times I went with a big group and the service was really good.
(5)Rikki B.
I went here with some co-workers for lunch and we were impressed by the freshness and flavor of the food. Portions aren't large. We ordered tacos of dfferent varieties and salads. The price was a little high for a lunch...avg $12...but we loved the food and were completely satisfied. The place was new and the decor modern. They serve pretzel goldfish crackers and edamame for starters. Can't wait to go to dinner there with the family! There were so many other items on the menu that I wanted to try like the cajun mahi mahi.
(5)Dean G.
this has been a great addition to The Pruneyard by far! Hawaiian Poke and Tacos are just amazing there!
(5)Jackie C.
Great fresh food, reasonably priced
(4)Shauna B.
The food is really good here. I ordered the trio taco plate and my husband ordered the fish and chips. The quality of the food is very good. My only complaint was that the portion sizes are very small and the prices are high. Other than that, good quality food and the place is lovely. I ordered the Moochi balls for desert. They were very good. Enjoy!
(4)STS P.
Great first experience! Excellent fish, delicious flavors and nice salads - seemed wholesome and healthy. Must go back.

we were excited to try this new place in campbell as all 4 of us love fish and the location was accessible. we were greeted promptly and sat at a nice table where we could hear each other until a party of 6 drinkers were seated behind us and were really quite loud. we had the poke and calamari appetizers. they were good, nothing special and actually the poke really did not have much flavor and the pieces of ahi were pretty large for a serving to share which we were told would be a good amount for 4 of us. the entrees were good, again, ok, nothing super fantastic. felt pretty rushed by our server and i kept looking over to the lobby to see if they were packed with folks waiting to eat, but no, there was no one there and there were many empty tables. not sure why she was rushing us. will come again and hope to have a better dining experience and try some of the other ceviches.
(3)Katie I.
Flavor was good but the shrimp was too small. I felt like I was cheated as they called the dish "Jumbo Tiger Prawns ..." I should have questioned a waiter or a manager as they were certainly NOT Tiger Prawns and very small. Also, fish was very thin with my boyfriend's Ahi Tuna sandwich. The price was reasonable but we expected more.
(3)Rebecca E.
We've been back to Pacific Catch a lot since I wrote the first review. We were there Super Bowl Sunday and left quite satisfied...again. All the waitstaff have been great. But, i want to make sure to mention our server, Aaron, who has waited on us several times. He is courteous, helpful, very personable and accommodating. If you go to Pacific Catch, make sure to ask for the Frequent Diner card. I didn't know about this until I mentioned to the server that they should have frequent diner cards for repeat customers. We have one more entree to go and then get one for free. It's a win-win deal.
(5)Chosen C.
We happened on this spot at lunchtime on Friday. It was packed inside (30 minute wait), but easily got a table outside with no wait. We learned that this is one of several PCs and that it just opened a few months ago. It is a real find, if you are looking for a place to take your spouse on a date or meet co-workers and enjoy the buzz and contemporary ambiance. The menu is intriguing. We had soup of the day, a very light ginger broth with lots of seafood, wasabi crab bowl and taco platter. We even tried the garlic stir fried brussel sprouts which were excellent! Friendly service. A destination restaurant with shopping center parking. Hard to beat being near Barnes and Noble and Trader Joe's, as well.
(5)Sean W.
Everything we've ordered here from appetizers to desserts has been great. Nice atmosphere, maybe a little noisy, but definitely worth a visit.
(5)karen s.
After reviewing their menu, I couldn't wait to try it for myself. I was not disappointed. I will be craving the Ahi Salad for sure! I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy and not soggy and flimsy, but it didn't stop me from almost finishing off the plate. We were not greeted immediately. We were seated at a table with dirty seats next to the "waiter station" so it made it awkward for me anytime they came to use the register or stock up on chopsticks or napkins and the waiter would lean on our extra chair. Also felt rushed when he started to restock our supply. Just seemed like something he should do when the table is unoccupied. It was nice when the chef came to say hi. Good to know they care enough to read the reviews. I'm sure they'll only improve over time. Can't wait to return!
(4)Kathy G.
Waited until I had been several times before writing a review. I usually get the 2 taco plate my faves are the pacific steak and Cabo shrimp. the sweet potato fries are sooo good! Another fav is the wasabi ahi sandwich. Good food, reasonable prices and don't miss the Macadamia Nut Brownie sundae!
(5)Matt V.
I feel generous giving them three stars, but consider me giving them the benefit of the doubt... It was a busy evening, but we got seated at a corner table, and my date was a bit uncomfortable with that. And she ordered one of the more expensive fish specials (from Fiji - Ono?), but unfortunately it tasted overcooked. My 'bowl' was okay , but too much rice, instead of more veggies etc (since read in another review that you can substitute veggies for rice, or get brown rice, but this was not offered). And the appetizer (sweet potato fries) were okay, but I've had better sweet potato fries elsewhere... The manager was nice enough to stop by and check in before we left. He offered us some free 'moochi' ice cream, but we were not interested in any desert (we were full). Nothing was terrible, the service was basically good, but to be honest, I'd rather take my date to another place next time...
(3)Scott A.
My wife and I went to dinner here on a recommendation from a friend. Excellent fish entrees. sushi appetizer was very good, a pleasant surprise. Nice wine list and very good service. Easy parking. We are going back to try other items on the menu. All the dinners served around us looked great.
(5)R And J.
really good mahi-mahi tacos. highly recommend!
(4)Lisi B.
So darn yummy!!! Nothing but good to say... Atmosphere, drinks and food were great!!!!
(5)Lacey C.
Fast service, even during a lunch rush. Great food, really fresh, and huge portions. Love the frequent diner card too! I will be back soon.
(5)Harris W.
Good food. Fair price. Decor imaginative. Knocked off one-star for noise, clothes smelled like the kitchen when we left, bar was behind in matching drink delivery with food. Greeting sfaff needs to acknowledge patrons upon leaving. Kinda felt like we walked out of Dennys. Hostess looked out the window- should of asked if we enjoyed ourselves. Answer would have been "yes".
(4)Julie T.
My apologies to all of those who reviewed the ahi poke bowl as being fabulous, as I am about to naysay their experiences. But the chef/cooks must have had a very off night when my bowl arrived. I ordered this particular dish because of the astounding reviews. The surrounding veg was ok and the rice was nice. But the tuna cubes were glistening not in a good way. They were shiny because they were rubbery and slimy. It reminded me of what happens when you over marinate chicken. Apparently, it was made fresh that morning. That is way too long to marinate fish. Maybe do another batch after the lunch crowd to serve to the dinner folk? I dunno, but it tasted gross and the texture was unappetizing. Unfortunately, you say it's fresh, why doesn't it look and taste fresh? How do I know whether it tastes fresh? What is my poke experience? I've had the poke special at Kaita in downtown SJ and that is fresh. I've eaten it at beach diners in Waikiki and Honolulu. That is fresh poke. The two stars are due to a very polite and sweet staff, misinformed, but polite and the fact that everyone else at my table was happy with their grilled fish dishes. For me, the allure of this new place to me is over. Sorry, but there are no off days if everyone is raving about a dish, it has to be consistently good.
(2)Daniel C.
I got the tacos. One fish, one steak, one shrimp. Overpriced and not much flavor. Disappointed in the food. Service was fine, but the food was just plain for what you paid. I would compare the tacos to Wahoo's and would actually prefer wahoo's next time...
(2)James J.
Awesome environment upgrade from the previous interior isn't the only impression. Bring an Asian-fusion appetite for numerous small dishes. After years of experience in the business myself, it was clear that the wait staff is very experienced and compete with the best. This was our second visit since the recent opening. With an SF-sushi sort of feel, pouring some Saki, Poke and "Let's get Saucy" appetizers paired great. We had soup of the day - Sticky ribs and a side of Sweet Potato Fries with unique sauce. Feeling so well attended to, we stuck around and enjoyed some diet risking Deep Fried Oysters paired with a half bottle of Sonoma Cutrer. All was rewarding. We look forward to returning soon. The newer, local gem has great service and wonderful menu depth that will ensure you'll realize a second visit is worth remembering. Ours was.
(5)Nicole M.
We went here for my birthday and it was the best meal I've ever had. The salmon was out of this world! The french press coffee was amazing and there was a great selection of delicious desserts. Definitely get the bread pudding; it was my favorite. Warren took care of us and the service and staff was informative and helpful. Definitely going here more often even though I live in Santa Cruz.
(5)Shayne T.
ive been here before and gave this place 5 stars but our recent visit wasnt so great. first of all, i called in for a reservation and wanted a reservation for 12 people and a high chair at 7 or 7:30 pm on a saturday and the manager told me he couldnt do that time and that i should come at 8 because no one show up on time anyway. that response just made me feel that our time wasnt important and that we were expected to be late anyway. then i called back to see if we could up the reservation, and every time i called they would have to transfer me to a manager to ask if i could add more to our party, at the end of this mess they told me theyre busy and would call me back later to let me know if i could add more people to our reservation and they never did. so we show up early before our 8pm reservation and sure enough, our table isnt ready so we have a huge party waiting by the bar for 30 minutes. we finally get seated and i order the wasabe poke bowl as usual this time it was horrible. way too salty and the fish didnt even seem fresh at all, and i know these things cause im from maui. we finally get done and the bill is about $60 more than we thought it would be, so were like oh well, lets just all pitch in a couple more dollars and get this over with. so we give a bunch of cash and couple cards and tell the waiter how much to put on each card. he then comes back and says he put the remaining balance of $100 on the last card. were like ??? so we say there was no remaining $100 balance, so he has to get his manager and figure out what he did wrong. then the manager fixed the problem and we left. we looked forward to coming here and wanted to plan a nice couple outing for our training partners at our gym but wont be wanting to deal with pacific catch again....
(1)Mochi M.
sigh. First time i came here it was good and something to remember, but my recent visit was unsatisfactory around 2 weeks ago. I came here with a group of 9 i believe to eat on the patio. They all got nice drinks and mine was a mojito. It sucked. I make it better, my restaurant i work at makes it better. I don't like to ask for another one because I know how irritating it can be. I also wanted my bowl of food to all be seperated but they couldnt accommodate to my order so i just asked for the wakame on the side. They still didn't do it. I didn't even get utensils in the beginning and had to ask for it. At the end of the meal, the busser picked up a plate and spilled water or stuff all over my arm and pants. He stared at it, and then walked away. REALLLLY!? I think he noticed that something dripped so he checked the floor, but hello. ITS ON ME. dude. really. I came here before and wanted to yelp at least 4 stars, but now I see it. If its a little busy, the service sucks. As a server of a restaurant I have never seen this happen. Customers always right? ha. usually I add 20 bucks of tip after everyone put their tip in because I know how it feels just to get nothing extra even though gratuity is included. F this place. I'm out. rude. writing this made me realize how pissed off i was. oh well.
(2)Beth K.
This is apparently the place to be in Campbell. It was pretty crowded on a Tuesday evening--I recommend reservations. My friend and I each got the taco platter; between the two of us we had a combo of mahi mahi, baja, and chicken tacos, and they were all really tasty with just the right amount of toppings (fresh avocado, yummy green sauce). We each ordered a dessert and split the brownie sundae and the fried dulce de leche spring rolls--DELICIOUS. But way too much. You could easily share one of these desserts. And the French press coffee was strong and good. With all that food our bill came to about $50--not cheap, but not unreasonable for how much we ate. The staff was all pretty friendly and our waiter had some good suggestions. It was pretty noisy inside and the tables seemed kind of close together, but on a night when they're not so busy (if there ever is such a night) that might not be much of a problem. I'd eat here again!
(4)Lisa G.
Another Pruneyard gem...I'm in love! Any place that I'd go to twice in one day (yes, that happened) is worth a five star rating. And there's so much good stuff to choose from...so far I've sampled the Ahi tuna sandwich and sweet potato fries (glorious), the Ahi tuna salad (phenomenal), and my personal fave the wasabi poke rice bowl (heaven). Everything tastes fresh and flavorful and hits every note on the palate. As much as I love the dinner food, I think I love the dulce de leche 'spring roll' dessert even more! The drinks are pricey (nearly the price of their food), but my lemongrass mojito hit the spot after a long day in the office. Top it off with a perfectly modern, classy yet casual ambiance and this is the best place to go for a special dinner or get together with friends. Everyone is guaranteed to leave happy and super full. I'd expect to pay more for these fanciful creations but they are priced fairly so you can always justify a couple special meals here if you are on a budget. Don't miss this!!!
(5)M R.
Really fresh and delicious food. A little pricey, but a nice relaxing atmosphere. Always great service. Every visit I am very satisfied. Great place.
(4)Diem J.
Very friendly staff. Great food and atmosphere. I like the salmon and rice bowl.
(5)Sharon S.
Went there for lunch and had a nice surprise. The decor is really nice. They have a great variety to choose from and offer brown rice substitute if you prefer. Rice bowl was large and yummie. Servers were very nice. Food was great. I'd definitely come back. This is a rare healthy and nice option for the area.
(4)Lilly J.
Had dinner here last night with a friend. it gets pretty crowded but we were able to get seating at the bar so we didn't need to wait. The services was a little slow but that's ok because it give me more time to find what i wanted to eat. I got a calamari as a starter and the thai curry rice bowl with shrimp satay. The calamari was delicious. The rice bowl didn't have enough curry sauce so it was a little bland but the shrimp satay was pretty good.
(3)Pierre C.
I was expecting better food. They did a great job with the design of the place, friendly service but what I ordered was so so (special of the day was Ono fish), fish was overcooked, rice was not that great, and the plate was not very hot.
(3)scott h.
I went to Pacific Catch for the first time last night...it was fantastic! Appetizer was the Hawaiian Poke - Highly recommended. For the main entree, I had the 3 tacos. Baja style, mahi mahi, and shrimp. Very fresh and tasty. For dessert, I had the "spring roll". Again, delicious! Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I am very happy to have this new restaurant in Campbell and definitely plan on going back often.
(5)Jodi O.
We were quite disappointed with the dinner we had at Pacific Catch last night. THE BAD: To start with, we ordered the Hawaiian poke and the Peruvian ceviche. The poke would have been pretty good, except it was too salty (I'm from Hawaii, so I know what good poke should taste like). The Peruvian ceviche looked disgusting - it was swimming in this thick, yellow sauce and looked nothing like the ceviche we had at a Peruvian restaurant last month. My husband (who is used to spicy food) said it was so spicy that you couldn't taste anything. The menu description also said it included "fresh catch", which we took to mean fish, but there was no fish - just tiny scallops. For our main dishes, my husband ordered the fish tacos. He had originally asked for the sea bass special, but they said they were out of sea bass (What kind of restaurant is already out of the daily special by 6pm?). There was hardly any fish in his tacos and they were COVERED with this spicy green sauce - I couldn't tell by looking at it if it was guacamole or salsa verde. There was soooo much sauce on it that, once again, it overpowered any flavor the rest of the food might have had. I ordered the Thai coconut shrimp with spicy fries. The shrimp was very greasy (yes, I know it's fried, but I've had fried shrimp before that wasn't soaked in grease). It was served with sweet chili sauce that tasted like the stuff you can buy in a bottle at the grocery store and fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning to make it spicy (and way too salty). My husband said everything tasted like the kind of food you'd get at a food truck and said the fish tacos from Cheesecake Factory are way better. To top it off, the meals were served on these plates that are more like shallow bowls. Both my husband and I nearly ended up with a lap full of food when the "plates" tipped over as we were trying to cut our food with a knife. THE GOOD: My "no-jito" (a non-alcoholic mojito) was delicious and very refreshing on a hot summer evening. The service was also good. We didn't order dessert, but the couple next to us had the mochi fondue and it looked really good (though all it really is is pieces of mochi ice cream with a little bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping - it would be hard to go wrong with a simple dish like that). We had high hopes for this restaurant, but have to say we will not be back again.
(2)Rob C.
got a fresh ahi tuna salad with poke also, $18. the poke marination was a little too salty for my tastes. soy-wasabi vinaigrette worked well. mainstream menu but went in expecting that, but can go for healthy items.
(3)Julia C.
can't believe there is such a good restaurant in Campbell. 4.5 stars for the food and 5 stars for the service.
(5)Dane C.
The food is always well received and the outdoor covered patio is a great place to sit.
(4)Jessica S.
This place was delicious. I went with a friend last Friday, and we loved it. We ordered calamari, hot edamame, a mahi-mahi Hawaiian bowl, and a shrimp Korean BBQ bowl. There was plenty of food and the waitress was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for seafood fusion restraunts.
(4)Judy K.
it's a little pricey - but the poke is fabulous!
(4)Laura R.
I cannot wait to go back! The fish here is fresh and delicious! I'll be honest that the Pruneyard is not a typical place I would choose to eat; no, I'm not being pretentious just true to my taste for food. A few friends mentioned they experienced great food and great service here and it was definitely a big reason I had to try this place. We had the spicy Peruvian Ceviche (scallops) as our starter...the scallops were perfectly tender, marinated in lime juice. My main dish consisted of the Ahi salad with the Hawaiian Poke instead of the seared ahi. It was so fresh, perfectly savory, and light on the sesame oil. The salad itself is enjoyed with a soy-wasabi vinaigrette dressing which is not doused with it. My companion enjoyed the salmon salad, and claimed it was gratifying and mouthwatering. I didn't taste his salad, because I loved mine and the serving size was quite large, which I didn't finish. The salad had a lot of poke in it. It's always a pleasant surprise when you have plenty of protein in your salad at a restaurant. The service was great and the atmosphere inviting and pleasing to the eye. I'll be back to try the sushi...apparently they serve it with brown rice if requested. That's a nice option...I prefer sushi with brown rice. Hope you enjoy it!
(4)Quyen T.
My husband and I went here for a date lunch and it was wonderful. We ordered the let's get saucy roll, ecstasy roll and the fisherman's basket. It was the best fish and chips experience I've had in CA. I thought the sushi could have been better because it lacked a little oomph, may the addition of a little spice might've pushed my rating to five stars. Overall ambiance was great, service was pretty prompt and polite. I'll definitely be back for the fish and chips basket!
(4)Amy J.
Went in yesterday for the first time and was delighted with my choice. I got two fish tacos, a traditional and mahi mahi, and they were delicious. They sat us at a booth in the bar and the bartender had a lot of people to deal with, so service was a bit slow, but she was nice. Interesting music selection (and not in the ooh that's fun kind of way), but it was very relaxing.
(4)April R.
This place was great, went last night (Friday night) for my birthday for the first time and had a great meal! Started with the Korean Sticky Ribs which were amazing! Then I had the sole and my husband had the swordfish. Both were delicious, cooked just right, flavored well, generous portions. We ended with the chocolate sundae which was the special for the night, it was great. The only reason this gets 4 instead of 5 stars is that the waiter was a little abrupt, felt like he rushed through talking with us or doing anything for us and didn't quite get my order right. I had asked to substitute the mashed potatoes on my dish for extra veggies and he forgot that.
(4)Randell and Abigail I.
Three stars off because: 1) Evenf the first bites of the first half of my small grilled mahi-mahi on the Hawaiian plate was heavenly to not miss Mizu, the last half of the fish was questionably not as grilled anymore. My husband loved the seaweed salad from his Korean barbecue plate but made the brown rice beneath soggy. The food in these bowl dishes were placed in a way making it hard to really eat. 2) The hostesses looked me and my husband up and down and suspiciously told us there was a one hour wait when there were approximately seven table available. The other available seating in the patio or bar were not offered at all. Plus, there was zero people-spillage in the waiting area this Friday night. When my husband yelped dissatisfaction, someone who looked like one of the owners immediately corrected this situation; however, leaving me very curious about patron discrimination. I should've picked up the cue when we were surrounded only by middle-aged caucasians in also average clothes and National Rifle Association hats. 3) Third star off because: come to think of it, the hostesses themselves weren't dressed well enough to match the hip vibe. We were never treated this way in places like Mizu or any other restaurant in Santana Row even if their general staff were better-looking, better-xperienced that Pacific Catch's. maybe it doens't help that I had just read my new book over hours at Barnes leaving me less than fresh-faced; and my husband just came straight from his very casual engineering work at Apple Cupertino. Perhaps, the kid hostesses are only limiting patronage from the small company workers at those buildings next to Outback Steakhouse ( or maybe suited young ones selling things at kiosks in the mall ). 2 stars total because the first few bites of the food was good. Decor was hip and relaxing. Our server (tall man with goatie ) had excellent service skills; runner was gracious; and busboy had good manners. Overall, even if I have chosen to keep my spendings within my own area code in the past two years as much as possible, the way the kid hostesses were trying to elbow us out was very offensive and made me realize that Mizu ( with the consistently great fish, better decor than Pacific Catch, better-looking and experienced front staff ) will still be a winner in the long-run. Mizu details: 4 stars even after 668 reviews. Pacific Catch has only 4 after two weeks worth. for 9/30 reviews they've only received 1 out of three good reviews. 1035 S Winchester Blvd San Jose, CA 95128 (408) 260-7200 mizusj.com

Tried this place for the first time this past week for happy hour. First impression is the wait staff are very attentive including the bartenders. We had coconut shrimp which was average, the flavor didn't really pop out...had better at outback steakhouse. The Calamari was not crispy enough and just average. We were thinking of trying some dinner but just seemed the items available were more lunch oriented besides the fish dishes which seemed expensive around $22. Perhaps we will try them for lunch next time were here.
(3)Drea S.
My husband and I have been here a handful of times and it has never disappointed. Service was good and the food is always delicious. I have tried a few different dishes here and I think so far my favorite dishes were the Wasabi Ahi sandwhich and the California Roll Salad. I may just be partial to Japanese food but they were just amazing!

Second time is a charm (see my previous review)! We came by again for an early dinner and were greeted cheerfully, promptly and seated in a nice booth. Husband had the fish and chips but subbed a salad for the chips. Delicious fresh and light batter coating over 4 large pieces of fish, mild coleslaw on the side and quite satisfying. I ordered the Ling Cod Hanoi style special which was beautiful to look at as well as tasty, the shaved asparagus, fennel and green onion topper was addicting, if you can say that about veggies. The cod was fresh and bright, but a little on the undone side toward the middle. When I asked to have them pop it in the pan to cook the pink out, our server cheerfully took it away and brought it back cooked thoroughly with additional veg and rice. I am happy to report that Pacific Catch went above and beyond to make me a fan. Thank you to the management for attention to detail.

Just got through eating at the new Pacific Catch,,,and I can sum it up in one word... FANTASTIC! Our waitress, Lisa, was very attentive and professional. Another waiter even came over and explained how "green" the restaurant is trying to be. The mahi-mahi sandwich was most tasty but my husband ranted and raved about how good the fish and chips were. Can't wait to go back to try one of the other many selections. Two thumbs up!

Wow what a great surprise. My wife and I had originally planned to go to El Burro but in the interest of eating more healthy in the new year we thought we would try out Pacific Catch in the Pruneyard Center. This restaurant is very stylish, yet comfortable, and relatively quite. The service from the hostess to the waiter to the bus person was very good. In particular waiter seemed to really like his job and was very attuned to the the food being offered. The Inside Out Roll was to die for being very fresh, very tasty and very large. I would like to especially point out that the crab salad was made with fresh crab which I rarely find even at some of the best sushi restaurants. My wife's Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned (tamatillo sauce). The Cabo shrimp tacos were also very good in terms of freshness and flavor but could have had some more shrimp. The only other constructive criticism is that they could have had a larger selection of entree/special types of fish and preparations (and would be good to be able to see them online). I will definitely be going back here soon and can highly recommend it to all my friends.

Just got back from the best dinner at Pacific Catch! The food, service, and ambiance were all perfect. The food was super fresh. We ordered the Ceviche Trio for an app. All were tasty! Then we ordered the inside out tuna roll. My husband says its just as good as any good sushi place. For dinner I had the Wasabi Bowl with half greens - half brown rice with seared ahi. The ahi was so flavorful!!! I loved this bowl and want to try all of them now :) My husband had the Thai Curry Bowl with shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. The veggies were slightly crispy and the shrimp were not over cooked. We indulged and had desert too - the Dulce de Leche Spring Roll and the MacNut Brownie Sundae....WOW. So rich and delish. We had to roll ourselves out of there after the marathon dinner chow-down. I absolutely love this place....its pretty much my favorite from this point on. Thank you to our server Aaron...he was so nice and attentive :) Can't wait to eat at Pacific Catch again !!!

Yum. The Pacific Ceviche Trio, which is a sampling of a Baja shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian poke & Peruvian ceviche is unreal. Goes great with the lemongrass mojito. I never run out of things to try. Very creative menu, and it's fun to people watch at the bar.

We have been to the Campbell location 7 times since it opened and have been happy with our experience every visit. We made a reservation 6 of the 7 visits and each time we were immediately seated when we checked in with the hostess. We had a short wait (15 mins) the one time we did not have a reservation. I definitely recommend the rice bowls (my personal favorite is the Hawaiian Teriyaki with steak) and the Korean Sticky Ribs, very yummy! Good cocktails, okay beer selection and excellent service. This is my husband's new favorite restaurant so I am sure we will be back again soon.

First time there tonight. Great food, mixed catch, sweet potato fries, salad, etc. Good service. However, asked to "half" my meal and take "half" home. Unfortunately, brought home to put in the frig and realized whoever packed my take-home portion threw all in only one cardboard box, the whole thing: warm fish, hot fries, and green salad. Needless to say, this was a mush of a mess so I just tossed it.
(3)Diane D.
It's been a long time since I was this impressed with a new restaurant. This place rocks! Everything we had was exceptional. Generous drinks, although a little pricy, amazing food, fast and efficient service, very cool interior vibe. We had a spicy tuna roll that was to die for and the cabo shrimp tacos were incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. The coup de gras was the macadamia nut brownie sundae with a heavenly chocolate sauce. For the 3 of us it was perfect, not sure I would go with a large party though. The special food presentations might lose their spark. Save big parties for Buca di Beppo. Will be going back again and again.

We went on a Fri at about 7pm for my husbands birthday and were told the wait was between 2-40 min - OK not a problem we can at least order a cpl of drinks from the bar and wait maybe a snack as well. The Bar service was great ! Our server one of 3 offered some suggestions on new drinks and then when asked about an appetizer got us the full menu just so we could see the specials as well as the common. We tried the crab dumplings they were great (4 to plate) However 1 hr and 20 min later we were still not seated and I was done. We walked up to the front reception desk and stated that it had been 40 past the time they stated oh yeah sorry about that we can try and seat you now we said thank you any were leaving .I don't mind a wait when your busy or for what ever reason, but PLEASE when you know you have gone over the time you stated come let the person know its going to be longer. I was done and won't go back which is unfortunate for them because neither will I recommend them. If you just have to try it MAKE A RESERVATION

My Husband and me had dinner here last night and not only had a great meal but they have a gluten free menu. :=)

My rice bowl, which appears to be an extremely popular item choice here was remarkably awful! The bowl was presented with large chunks of uncooked carrots, edamame shells which should have been discarded, so-so Mahi Mahi, rubbery mushrooms (certainly not fresh) all poorly seasoned and a huge disappointment! When asked by my waitress, "how can I make this up to you?", what am I to say - comp my meal, free dessert - yikes! Please train your servers to offer some sort of compensation, it is extremely awkward for the customer to ask for freebies, which I did not do, given my polite attitude, so therefore left feeling very disappointed and cheated. To their credit, my son enjoyed his taco trio, I should have ordered that. I do however appreciate their nod to healthy choices such as brown rice and greens vs. the typical white rice; the casual, yet cosmopolitan dining room created a pleasant ambience. I will not return.

I went for the first time last night to celebrate a girlfriend's Bday. We both are ceviche fans so didn't even pass the appetizer menu to decide to try. Had the Ceviche trio to start and all were delicious, though the Peruvian was my fav. The service, however, was horrendous....I'm really hoping it was an anomaly so I will try again. We ordered a bottle of wine along with the appy, the appetizer showed in minutes and no wine. tap tap tap....waiting, had to ask the waitress. Another man showed with the wrong bottle... Ok, back to the bar. We're still sitting there with our bulky menus because we haven't ordered our main. Finally, correct bottle shows. Yay! Then we had to call over some random waiter to take our dinner order, can't find our waitress. He takes our order, waitress shows about 10 later and acknowledges the order and 'it's coming up soon. Still bulky menu on the table and now, empty appetizer plates. Main dish shows, um- there is no room on the table. I just stared, not sure whether I should get up an bus my own table. Once the menu's were gone and the table cleared, it was OK. I did order the side salad with salmon (seemed to not be a problem), expected the salmon to be on the salad, instead I got the salad and a separate plate of salmon. Very discombobulated for sure! It was a Wednesday night, perhaps more crowded than anticipated???? I don't know..... all restaurants can have an off night....

I had to come check this place out to see what the hype was. It was just okay. I didn't see what the big deal was. My food was mediocre and it was way too pricey for the quality. I'll give them this that my tuna was fresh. All the kudos and stars to that. I just don't see what the big ol hype was. It was pretty loud and crowded for a late lunch. Isn't everyone's lunch around 12pm-1?! I have to try it at least one more time to decide if I'll ever come back here again. I'll update my review as soon as that's done and as you can tell, I'm not running back there anytime soon.
(3)Liv H.
The peruvian ceviche is what I come for...I crave it all the time, it has a perfect harmony of flavors which are complimented by the blue potato chips they serve it with. The other ceviches and pokes are also delicious. I also like their rice bowls which come in a variety of options...my favorites are the hawaiian and the korean with salmon. The desserts are also very good here

I've come a long way from not eating seafood or sushi about 6 years ago, because now I typically chose a seafood restaurant for a date night with the hubby. I decided on Pacific Catch for our NYE dinner since a) obviously a seafood restaurant, b) not too far away from our house and c) it's not too pricey. We had reservations for 730P and were seated immediately. However, I was a little disappointed that we were seated in the outdoor makeshift room. I usually love al fresco dining but not in an enclosed "extra' room. I found it a little warm under the heatlamp and quickly removed my sweater though I was seated further away from it. I asked my hubby if he was too warm, since I can see some beads of sweat on his forehead. Our kind server, Melanie asked if he was too warm, but he said he was OK. Whatever floats your boat hubby. All I can think of is that I might feel too warm with a glass of wine... On to the food, we ordered side salads and the Pacific Catch cerviche trio to start. My entree was the bbq Mahi Mahi special and the hubby ordered a crab sandwich. The cerviche was a hit. I loved all 3 as well as the tortilla chips, purple potato chips and wontons. I did find the wontons a bit on the salty side. Mind you, I don't like shrimp, but I loved that cerviche. I was little annoyed that our main entrees came out so fast - I wasnt even 1/3 done with my side salad and our cerviche wasn't even halfway eaten!! I felt rushed and crowded with all the plates still on our table. I was even concerned that my sweet potato fries were going to be cold by the time I would be able to give them some attention. My mahi mahi was very tender and not fishy at all. I actually liked it, but I really enjoyed the cerviche trio better. Hubby said his crab sandwich was just OK, not enough crab taste. I had one of his seasoned fries, but I prefered my sweet potato fries. Melanie was great, I thought her service was spot on without being too intrusive or out of touch. I'd go back to try other things on their menu...and of course, more cerviche! ;) p.s. Did I mention, that we weren't even done with our meal...we were the only ones left in that room? It was really really lonely. :/

Checked out Pacific Catch for dinner on Sunday night. Walking in, the place looked way trendy with the dark woods, slate, and blue bottled lighting everywhere. But when it came down to it, it was just a casual restaurant as the servers wore jeans and the "managers" walked around with untucked buttoned down shirts, really? After looking at the menu, I wouldn't classify this as a "Seafood" resto. It's more of an Asian/Latin spot, wait, then again, so does Elephant Bar. THAT'S what this resto's menu reminds me of! :P We started with the Pacific Catch Ceviche tTio, which offered quite a mix of textures, flavors and colors. It was the first time I've ever had Poke and I've got to say, I've been missing out! I loved the Poke and the Peruvian Ceviche but, the Baja Shrimp Ceviche was a disappointment. It only had three pieces of shrimp, was quite salty and came with tortilla chips that weren't fresh as you'd get at Chevy's or any Mexican resto for that matter. For our entress, I ordered the KBBQ Rice Bowl with the skirt steak and sticky ribs. It was a big bowl indeed. The ribs were plentiful, tasty and very sticky. However, the skirt steak was disappointing as there just slivers of beef and I couldn't quite figure it out if the beef was salty or the sauce in the rice was salty. Not to mention, way overpriced at $18. The s/o ordered their Fish and Chips, which I was thinking about ordering. The s/o didn't care too much for it and said that we've had better F&C. I can tell as the s/o was definitely struggling trying to finish it. Our server was really friendly, upbeat and even apologetic about my meal when I refused a take out box. Overall, I know that Pacific Catch is a chain but for such a glam looking resto, they easily could fetch $30+ for Chilean Sea Bass instead of offering your run of the mill $10 Fish & Chips or $12 two taco combo. I'd rate the 2.5 stars but I did like 2/3 of the Ceviche Trio and the service was friendly. Maybe we'll go back just for appetizers?
(3)Mini B.
Poke, rice bowls, tacos, salmon, soup - everything is so flavorful here. Food seems to be pretty fresh too. They post the origin of their fish on their blackboard - plus! No shady fish here. Brownie dessert is to die for - enough for 4 people to share - my family love this! Service is good. Wine is a little pricey here - deducting a star for that.
(4)Hayley H.
I ordered take out the other night for my husband and myself and really enjoyed our dishes. We had a spicy tuna roll, the wasabi rice bowl with ahi and mochi fondue. The fish was fresh and delicious. My only complaint was that the rice was slightly over-sauced in the bowl. The flavors and freshness of ingredients were otherwise great! I don't know how you could possibly go wrong with mochi fondue, and Pacific Catch is perfectly sane, possibly even genius...
(4)Ha L.
I hate chains, but this one is bearable compared to places like Applebees, Dennys, etc. Not sure if they're comparable though but... Service can be a hit or a miss. I've been here a couple of times and gotten different treatment. The food, however, are pretty mediocre. Nothing that wows you but nothing would totally disgust you either. The steak tacos are good. The bowls are good. Would definitely not return unless a friend wants to actually come here, otherwise, there are other places in Campbell to eat at, including new places to try in the Pruneyard plaza.
(3)Casey N.
Consistently high quality food and service. We've been here a few times on various days and times, and have always been thrilled with our experience. We stopped in for a late lunch, and we split one of the fish specials - halibut roasted with tomatoes with a side of brown rice and a grilled artichoke. (the halibut was very fresh and cooked perfectly, but a bit bland without a bit of dipping sauce or tomatoes.) We also had a side salad (lettuces, edamame, shitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumbers tossed in a miso dressing = delicious!) and a seaweed salad (perfectly crunchy & seasoned - not tart or sweet, just fantastic.) They have a Poke Fest going on with 8 or 9 different types of poke, so we ordered a spicy, creamy tuna poke with hot freshly sliced Serrano peppers that comes with won ton chips. (heavenly) The server was great. The hostess was very sweet and gave us a nice table/booth tucked in the covered patio area. The place has a nice atmosphere, and everything we've tried has been really tasty. They offer a large variety of healthy options, heavily fish oriented, but also serve steak and chicken dishes. There is something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable.
(4)Meg F.
Food is tasteless... The kids menu was not kid friendly... Won't be back. The service was pretty good... The bartender rules. He didn't serve me but I know him...lol
(1)Ede S.
I first tried Pacific Catch in SF (the one across from GG Park) and loved it! Was I willing to go all the way to SF to eat there again? Not really... So was I happy when I found out that they opened one in Campbell? HECK YEAH! I had the Japanese Wasabi Hawaiian Poke and I LOVED it! Husband had Sticky Ribs & Marinated Skirt Steak and he LOVED his as well. I normally don't eat brown rice, but this is the only place where I would ask for brown rice. For appetizers, we got sweet potato fries, also delish. For all the parents out there, this is a baby friendly restaurant! Why? It's loud! You know how embarrassing it is when your baby's being loud and everything turns and looks at you. They also take reservations as well which is great since I don't have to worry about waiting too long to get seated. Beware of parking though, it can be quite challenging.
(5)Jay C.
4.5 rounded up to 5.0. We've had consistently good experiences at the Campbell restaurant (as well as at the SF 9th/Lincoln restaurant). 4.5 because... Very nice, comfortable decor. Consistently clean facilities. Pretty good service. The food quality is always excellent, though I admit I haven't strayed too far from the wasabi bowl with Hawaiian poke (it's darn good!). So I don't have a diverse experience with the menu but everything I've tried has been good. Very good bar experiences--full bar, good beer/wine choices. Not 5.0 because... Parking at the Pruneyard can be difficult so expect long walks or long hunts for parking spots during peak hours. And while service is consistently good and professional, I would expect more recognition as many times as we've been there and spent good money. (Just a "Welcome back! would be nice.) Overall, I recommend Pacific Catch as a great place to get very good seafood in a Pacific-style cuisine.

Went in for lunch and we were thirsty and hungry. After seated for more than 10 - 15 minutes. Not a single soul attended to us for either drinks or orders. I was getting inpatient. Without a single server in the near eyesight, I decided to go find them myself. The lady who greeted and seated us were chatting with another server in the far back. I walked over there and told them that we had been waiting for more than 10 minutes. The server said she will find someone. And a minute later she came by by herself and asked us if we need drinks or were ready to order. Afraid to wait any longer, we gave the orders right away. And finally, we got the water served!! Another male server came to serve us later with no apology at all for the waiting. I was not sure if he was supposed to be the one to serve us in the first place, or if he was just moved to fill in the blank. There were actually not a lot of customers during lunch time today. Whoever arranging the service responsibility must not be doing the job right. Fortunately, everything was becoming better since then. The food were great. We had the Miso Salmon. The side salad was refreshing and special. Salmon was done great with the sweetened sauce. We also had a Thai curry Mahi Mahi rice bowl. The fish again was fresh and well. The green curry was there but not over powering the dish at all. We chose the brown rice for the bowl. It was mixed well with all the ingredients. It is a light version of Thai which is great and decent. Finally, the dessert Mochi fondue added the entire meal with a very nice touch. The presentation was elegant. It came with three flavor of Mochi with ice cream inside - Red Bean, Vanilla, and Coffee if I remembered correctly. Each Mochi was cut into two half pieces. And it was served with warm chocolate dip. The service afterward was more attentive. So in the end, we felt OK and did not want to let the bad beginning mood to spoil the wonderful food. I would give the place 5 stars for the food and ambiance. The two stars deduction is due to the service mishap. I am not sure if I want to come back again. Probably not to this location for a while.

After seeing all the good reviews, my friend and I went for a late lunch. Place looks nice, and I was excited...alas, the food was too salty and the service was awful. - california roll, salad - the real crab was good but the dressing was way too salty. - korean beef - was more like beef teriyaki where the sauce was too sweet - server - there were 4 servers milling around, looking busy but not really working - our server - spent 10 minutes talking to the patron next to us, glances at us and sees us waiting then moseys over asking if we are ready. yes, the closed menus should be the signal - server #2 - had 1 table and walked back and forth to her one table, but not really serving. takes some time to chat with server #4 - server #3 - had guests outside and seems truly serving (wish we sat outside) - server #4 - walked back and forth but not really working then, after we finished eating, i was done waiting for the check..so i had to go up to server #1 and ask for the check, and she says "sorry you had to wait.." yeah, me too. i hope you have a better experience than we did! we were disappointed :(
(2)Helen H.
Everything I ordered was tasty. The service is pretty good here. I like that their sushi does not contain too much rice and you have the option of white or brown rice for the same price. Their decor is very modern and clean - cute place for a date.
(4)Tay T.
Food was just alright. Had the taco plate and it was less than satisfying. I give it an extra star for having a lively bar in a restaurant.
(2)J. G.
Ok no 5-stars because the service is still lousy but the food is really good and while expensive still really good. It is my favorite lunch spot especially when someone else is paying :-)
(4)Julie B.
Wanted to try this restaurant and was very pleased. Atmosphere was great, staff was extremely friendly and food was delicious and healthy. I ordered the Poke bowl with half brown rice, half salad, and it was prepared perfectly and with lovely presentation. Hubby ordered the fish tacos. Lots more on the menu to try, so I will definitely be back. The manager seated us and came by our table to see that everything was okay - not intrusive, just in a helpful manner. My new favorite restaurant.
(5)Melissa G.
My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try out Pacific Catch for the longest time, and finally the opportunity arose last Friday night. We didn't think to make a reservation, so the hostess told us it would be a 20-25 minute wait. We were okay with that as it was a busy weekend night, but we only ended up having to wait about 10. We were sat by a nice gentleman who thoroughly went over their current specials and recommended some of his favorites from the menu since it was our first time there. Our waitress greeted us, I can't remember her name but she was very nice and attentive the entire meal. We did not have to look up or wonder where she was at all which was such a breath of fresh air. We were brought a small plate of edamame and goldfish to snack on before our meal that I thought was random, but cute. When it came time to order, we decided to try their sweet potato fries because the table next to us ordered them and they smelled AMAZING. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and my boyfriend got one of their specials, the salmon club sandwich. The fries were out surprisingly fast, and they were hot and seriously delicious. I would say the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. My teriyaki bowl was huge! It was filling and the flavors blended so well. I remember telling my boyfriend how the chicken just melted in my mouth, it was cooked perfectly. He liked his sandwich well enough, but mentioned he wanted to try something different next time. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the noise level was acceptable enough for us to have a normal conversation even though there were tables occupied on either side of us. We will definitely be back!
(5)daniel g.
Amazing food!!! love the menu and nice variety of flavors on it. My favorites are the ahi poke bowl appetizers and the Tacos. The wait can be long sometimes but the service and food are good
(5)Just Miss J.
Food was pretty good. I had the sushi rolls (although I don't like how there was wasabi there and it didn't state that on the menu) and seaweed salad. The waitress was horrible. She took forever and then forgot to give us utensils when dessert was brought out. We had to wait 10 for her to bring some. It's a bit frustrating when you're on a lunch break. This area people either have money but no jobs, or have long lunch breaks because its always packed for lunch. I would probably go back if someone else wanted to, but it wouldn't be a place I suggest off the bat.
(3)Marcia L.
We got the ceviche trio, some alaskan fish, and some sushi roll. Portion sizes are extremely small and prices are somewhat pricey. The hawaiian poke in the ceviche trio was awesome, but the taro chips were stale :( This place has a somewhat hipster feel to it. Probably won't be coming back.
(3)Janis A.
Tried this place for the first time with my girls for my birthday :) It was recommended by a friend of mine so I was super excited! The Pan-Asian Rice Bowl: Korean BBQ I got with the grilled salmon was THE BOMB! I opted to get half rice, half salad and even that was a lot of food - I sadly couldn't finish it because I was so full. It was delish! Their cocktails were really yummy, too! Ask your waiter/waitress about drink recommendations - we asked our waiter and he was on point with his suggestions. We were very pleased with how the drinks came out and also appreciated how friendly/approachable he was. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes. I recommend making reservations ahead of time because it gets packed, especially on the weekends.
(4)Justin M.
Really good seafood. Great environment for eating, definitely a date spot. Bar is good for drinking, good selection of booze. Only 2 TVs so def not the spot to catch a game. I've tried: Fish and Chips: Lightly battered, not quite tempura but not as heavy as normal, I believe it's a coconut batter but you can't taste the coconut. Spicy Fries: A little heavily seasoned, but really good. I recommend these over the sweet potato fries, and get the ginger wasabi sauce for dipping. Hawaiian Poki: Delicious, best I've had around here. Tried my buddy's as an appetizer and got it as a salad as well. If you like poki... get it. Ono (special): Haven't had Ono in years, had to try it. Cooked perfectly, served Oaxacan style. Awesome dish. Teriyaki Chicken Bowl: My mom loved it, and she's a pretty finicky eater. Egg Nog Ice Cream (special): Really good, pretty much is what it sounds like it would be! All the portions here are quite good, and for good seafood it is reasonably priced. I like that their daily specials are truly daily specials. The chef came out and talked to us for a minute and seemed like he truly cared about the plates he was dishing out. They have a happy hour which is pretty good too. I'll definitely be coming back here a lot, hopefully they have more staying power than the restaurants in this space before.
(5)Jill S.
Ok, I'm comparing this to places like Sonoma Chicken Coop, Buca Di Beppo , etc... NOT a place for a date. Great family restaurant since its so loud lol. Don't like the configuration of some of the tables...they have you sitting a few inches to other diners which I find very strange and awkward. MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR A BOOTH or ask for a table that's more private. Hated the bar, went on a Fri night around6:30 it's was packed. We couldn't squeeze in anywhere for a drink while waiting for our table. Since We had 30 minute wait for our table we walked over to Paxis and luckily got a few beers there at their bar. We loved our dinners . I had the Mahi Thai bowl. Loved that I could do half brown with half white rice, with more veggies ( and of course less rice) My husband had fish tacos which he enjoyed. We shared a spicy tuna roll and that was good too. Great waitress. Despite it being very busy and noisy she was amazing. I was expecting a date type restaurant so little disappointed but ill be back with friends or kiddos. (No more dates there though.)

The former location for Left at Albequerque has become a new hotspot at the Pruneyard! Stylishly modern yet warm and eco-friendly inside. Blue glass bottles have been cleverly repurposed as light fixtures. Why didn't I think of this? I had the special Hawaiian Ono (Oaxacan style!) which was a truly unique presentation for fish that worked well : a huge fillet served over brown rice mixed with black beans, accompanied by pickled onions, avocado slices, and fried plantains. I liked the combination of sweet+savory flavors and the full range of textures from soft avocado to fleshy fish to hearty rice to crunchy plantains. Best of all the price was half of what the same fish costs in Hawaii! And you get more of it. A-lo-ha! generous portions and totally reasonable prices, great vibe inside (chefs are walking around meeting people) means this place makes service a priority. The south bay is really lucky to have a seafood restaurant that dares to serve different types of fish and in unique ways - move over, butter 'n lemon! A semi-asian fusion really works for fresh fish! Proof that they are thinking outside the box? Chalkboards for the kids instead of the usual crayons. All you other restaurants should consider yourselves "pwned".
(5)T. N.
The service was good here, but not my type of food. I'm not saying its not good, just not my type of food.
(2)Laura S.
First time here, arrived right as happy hour ended. :( Lots of people in the bar and a few in the restaurant. Place is nice and clean. Lots to choose from for appetizers. we got ceviche 3 ways. tasty! nice glass of wine then sushi for our entree. Ecstasy - 12.5 albacore, ahi, tobiko, avocado & green onion, wrapped in nori, served tempura with citrus chili glaze (no rice) and Rising Sun - 12.5 tempura shrimp, avocado, ginger & cucumber wrapped in ahi tuna with ponzu. Both we delicious! Desert was a Mochi Fondue. Excellent service and great food.

Didnt realize that this is new to the area so I will cut them some slack with the yelp stars. Not a surprise that the 3 hosts up front were all tied up, but the turn off was when the one that greeted us gave us a bit of a hard time since they've got incoming reservations and so on and so on,. Nevertheless, we were granted a table for a party of 5 at 5:15, under the condition that we had to vacate in time for the 6:30 diners to come in. Our party was all fine with it, as long as the service was speedy enough to accommodate that task, which they were. Another turn off was the same host looking over our table constantly (maybe frantically? I dunno); so as much as he assured us that he didn't want to rush us, we sorta felt that way anyway. Great waitress, attentive bussers, and good fish specials ordered; the calamari pieces prepared were interestingly tempura-fied, along with lemon slices and peppers. I've been to the SF location and they've got it down like clockwork there, so i could only hope for the same potential in Campbell after all the growing pains of a new restaurant.
(3)Shayne H.
I am not going to start this review by saying "I don't know how any of the people reviewing this place gave it 4 stars". Instead I will say I believe that these people gave Pacific Catch 4 stars because they actually got SUPER drunk, went to Taco Bravo down the street, and ordered the gut wrenching carne asada super nachos. When they woke up the next day at 2 pm and didn't have a hangover, they gave Pacific Catch 4 stars. My girl and I ordered and shared the following: Rising Sun Sushi Roll ($11.50) Mixed Catch Fish and Chips ($14.00) Crab Corn Chowder (I forgot the price, but based on the other prices I can assume it was $250) Food: The food was OK. It wasn't great, but it was OK. The rice in the roll wasn't packed together correctly, so the roll fell apart pretty easily. No matter how my girl tried to pick up the roll it fell apart. This is alarming since she is Japanese and has a Master's Degree in Chopsticks, with a minor in Soy Sauce. The fish and chips was average at best. It came with sweet potato fries as a side, and that was also average. The dipping sauce for the entree was pretty much tasteless, but at least it didn't taste like a shoe. The crab chowder was good. I liked it quite a bit and had I only eaten it, the review would have been much better. The corn-to-potato-to-crab ratio was perfect. The chowder wasn't too hot, nor was it too cold. The only real issue was that the serving was a bit small. I could have used about 25% more chowder. Service: The service was fine. Again, nothing stood out either way. Decor: Pacific Catch is nice inside, clean and well lit... not so well lit that it looks like the "ugly lights" at a bar around 2:18 am. One of the other people we were eating with said that the men's bathroom had a weird sink that made it hard to wash his hands. I believe he is lying though, because he NEVER washes his hands (I am not kidding). Overall I would not go back to Pacific Catch. I feel the food was overpriced for the quality.

Yummy food and great service! What more is there? We had the happy hour tacos, ahi, fish and chicken tacos, Cali roll and one harvest Sierra, two glasses of wine and sorbet for $41. Typically this dollar amount does not buy you drinks or desert, so we were quite happy. Food quality is great!

Had a yummy fresh lunch there with a friend recently, great seafood, nice ambiance and fair prices. Really enjoy the sauvignon blanc chilled to perfection along with my meal. I will go back! I can't wait to go back for Happy Hour :)
