   Love this Asian fusion place. My favorite dish is the Korean BBQ steak with kimchi fried rice, and brussel sprouts.

   I typically don’t leave negative reviews, but I want to share our experience in hopes that it helps others avoid a similar disappointment. My husband and I were excited to try a new restaurant for date night, especially in an upscale location like UTC. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to our expectations. While our server did her best, she was juggling too many tables, which greatly affected the service. The food was pretty good, once we finally got our cutlery (we had to ask twice) AFTER our food was sitting in front of us! I won’t go into too much detail, but the bathrooms were so neglected! It was gross! We weren’t the only ones disappointed. We could overhear other patrons expressing frustration, including a gentleman next to us who asked for ketchup, only to be told by the server that he “would check and see if he could find any, as they were running low.” Overall, while the food had potential, the service and cleanliness left much to be desired. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place based on our experience.

   Pacific Catch offers a fantastic mix of fresh seafood, flavorful dishes, and a laid-back yet stylish atmosphere. The menu has a great variety, from poke bowls to grilled fish, all with bold, well-balanced flavors. Hannah was one of the most professional and knowledgeable waitresses I have ever had. She was tremendous! I tried the poke bowl and it was delicious—fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The drinks were also on point, with a nice selection of craft cocktails and sake. Service was friendly and attentive, though the restaurant was a bit busy, so there was a slight wait for our food. Still, the overall experience was excellent, and I’d definitely come back. Perfect spot for a casual yet high-quality seafood meal! Would definitely recommend for seafood lovers or anyone looking for a great dining experience.

   We love Pacific Catch. Great food & drinks. Fun to sit @ bar with awesome bartenders. Comfortable seating inside & patio. Always great service and consistently great service. Affordable, casual but quality & stylish. Give them a try.

   We made a reservation for 5:00 pm, once seated we asked about the Happy Hour, was told Happy Hour was only in the bar area. However, the Server allowed us to order food off the Happy Hour menu which was nice , we ordered from both menus. I don't understand why we dined during Happy Hour and had to pay $5.00 more for drinks due to sitting 100 feet away from the bar? Overall food, tacos, and drinks were excellent. Next time will sit in the bar.

   This location does not live up to the expectations set by the Bay Area locations.
