    The summer sea bass ( barimundi) was great. Loved the salad with mango and the purple potatoes would have been perfect without the large salt grains ( so unnecessary, especially for those of us that watch their sodium intake). I scraped the salt off after the first bite. Our waiter ,Stephen was  terrific and very attentive.
    Pacific Catch TustinResponded on 5 October 2026
    Gayle, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed the barramundi and the flavors in your dish! We appreciate the feedback about the salt on the purple potatoes and will share this with our team. Stephen will be thrilled to know he made your experience special!

    Absolutely LOVE this restaurant! Daughter will be leaving for college this week and asked her to let me know where she wants to eat before leaving town. Pacific Catch in Tustin, Tacos Los Cholos in Santa Ana and Pizza Irene in Old town Orange. We checked off Pacific Catch first. Enjoyed the Lobster hand rolls to start. Ordered the “catch of the day “ …. Hawaiian Swordfish with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Two thumbs up 👍🏼 We also had a Poke Bowl … Big and flavorful! Service was great as always. Recommend using Open Table for reservations as the world is getting out about how awesome this place is. Enjoy college my daughter, me and mom get to come back while you’re gone.
    Pacific Catch TustinResponded on 14 September 2026
    Gerardo, we're so happy the lobster hand rolls, Hawaiian Swordfish, and Poke Bowl hit the spot for this special send-off with your daughter! What a wonderful way to celebrate before she heads to college. Thanks for the kind words about our team and for recommending reservations—we can't wait to welcome you and mom back soon!

    My son & I had he warm lobster roll which was really good. The Chili-Lime fries were a pleasant change. My grandsons had sushi rolls and they liked them. Our beautiful server (Sienna) was professional, friendly and made good recommendations for the food.

    Summer sea bass portion was small. Grilled Salmon salad was bland. Nice decor and service good but not enough to overcome mediocre food.

    Steve, we're truly sorry your visit fell short, especially with the sea bass and grilled salmon salad. We're glad you appreciated the atmosphere and our team's attentiveness, and we'll be sharing your feedback about the dishes with our kitchen to help us improve.
