When you find an establishment that constantly has great food and service you usually make a point to eat there when you're in the area. That establishment is Pacific Catch and that is why my reviews have been consistently excellent. Our server, Angel D was great and attentive to my wife's gluten free needs. Abba, one of our favorite servers was working in the section next to us and made a point to come by and check how we've been, it's been a little over a month since we were there. Hope management and corporate appreciate the excellent staff they have. Looking forward to our next visit.

Been going to Pacific catch for a while now. My fiance and I used to visit the mountain view location but this time we tried the one in stanford shopping center. I don't know why the food tastes different even tho it's a chain. The service was excellent too. Our server Joyston took good care of us! He recommended the miso black cod & the Korean BBQ with steak which was phenomenal. Thank you Joyston for yourservice!

Pacific catches is a good spot if you're looking for an upscale version of Applebees/cheesecake factory. Last time I was here, I had the pokey sampler appetizer. The plate was huge. It came with tortilla chips, lettuce, cups, and wonton chips. I do wish the portions of the pokey were a bit bigger. I had so many leftover chips but not enough pokey. I also ordered picture of Lemongrass margaritas. Super tasty however, I wish it was a bit stronger. The service is good and the food came out very quick. Overall, I would come back here again.

A good and comfortable place to take a break and fuel up when you're shopping at the Stanford Shopping Center. We went there last Christmas season when we shopped at the mall and liked it so much we came back again this year. Fresh California/Mexican style seafood with good service. The place was packed on a Monday afternoon in early December but the 5 of us got lucky with a table within a few minutes. Lively atmosphere . Bright, modern decor with inside and outside seating. We got the Fish and Shrimp Tacos last year and they were so good we decided to get them again this year and they didn't disappoint. Super fresh ingredients and the sriracha lime crema brought everything together. The West Coast Salmon also stood out. The salmon cooked perfectly and the 1/2 brown rice 1/2 quinoa was super delicious and unique. Never thought to put those 2 ingredients together. The Yellowtail Ceviche was a bit overly citrusy for my taste. Could've used some honey or brown sugar to even it out. Happy Eating!!

Been here few times for their happy hour as they have great cocktails and appetizers! The bartenders were friendly & attentive. I was celebrating a birthday and the bartender surprised me with their brownie dessert which my bff & I devoured. The place has a Hawaiian themed decor which I love. Gets crowded during dinner time.

I love the interior of Pacific Catch--it perfectly creates a bright, summery atmosphere ideal for a family dining experience. Although we made reservations ahead of time, the restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating options, so reservations may not be necessary unless it's during the holidays. Pupu Platter: This appetizer platter was an excellent choice. I appreciated the variety of sample dishes, many of which can also be ordered individually as mains or sides. The spicy salmon sushi taco was incredibly delicious; the salmon was fresh, and the sauce was amazing. The sticky ribs were sweet and tender, and the guacamole was probably my favorite--so creamy and addictive. Korean BBQ Entree: This dish came with a generous portion! I loved the kimchi fried rice and sticky ribs. The marinated skirt steak, however, was a bit too chewy for my liking. I would have preferred a different steak cut for a better texture. The Brussels sprouts were also fantastic, with a salty flavor that paired perfectly with the sweet sticky ribs. Overall, I had a great time at Pacific Catch. The customer service was phenomenal, and while the prices were a bit high, the serving sizes made up for it. I highly recommend this place for a nice dining experience with family and friends.

Love me some Pacific Catch! Cute decor, fun place to dine when shopping at Stanford Mall. It's a popular place for Palo Alto families. Perhaps the room shape is a little awkward compared to their Mountain View location, but they have the same great menu. Hadn't been in awhile, and I noticed they actually improved some of the dishes, like my favorite caramelized pineapple cocktail, which was more delicious and drinkable than before, as they used crushed ice instead of frozen. Street corn was served as corn kernels instead of on the cob, which made it easier to eat. I loooooove their salads with shiitake mushroom and roasted salmon, the miso dressing makes it. Kimchi rice is super delicious with spicy aioli. Peruvian and Spanish styles are a new feature in the menu, which is a smart, sophisticated addition. I liked the papas bravas, with yummy sauces, though the potatoes could have been more crispy. Pro-tip: a Sprinkles cupcake a short walk away makes an indulgent treat with a Pacific Catch dinner ;)
