Pacific Catch Has Landed in Santa Monica

Pacific Catch opened its first Westside location in Santa Monica on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Second Street in December, 2024. This company founded its first location on Chestnut Street in San Francisco in 2003. They now have a total of 15 locations.

The restaurant celebrates food and flavors of the Pacific Rim and offers an expansive menu that features tantalizing appetizers, such as Poke and Ceviche, Sushi, Fresh Catch Fish, Fish and Chips, steak, burgers, and more. All fish is wild-caught or sustainably-raised.

I had an opportunity to enjoy the restaurant at a soft-opening on December 2, one week prior to the restaurant opening. The setting is bright and airy with a beach vibe and plenty of plants throughout. There is a wonderful mural on the wall that helps pull you further into the space. A large open bar sits in the center of the restaurant.

I overheard people at both tables next to me raving about the restaurant, how they have frequented it for years in the Bay Area, and how happy they were so happy to have it in their own backyard now.


My waiter Samuel was very attentive as he served me Sushi Tacos Trio, a Mixed Catch Platter, Pineapple Right Side Up Cake, and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Everything was extremely fresh, delicious, and laced with unique flavors throughout.

Jim, the manager of Pacific Catch, shared that he’s “in the people business and loves serving good food, to good people, as it’s a perfect mixture.”

I look forward to returning with my family and friends and spreading the word of their opening.
