Pacific Catch

We chose to come here as they had a GF menu which we saw online. However when we got there, the menu was not the same and when we asked for the GF menu, we were told they didn’t have one but that anything could be made GF upon request. I compared the online version to the printed one and they were mostly the same. I took my cues from the GF menu I had on my phone.

When ordering the poke sampler, I specifically asked for GF and emphasized that cross contamination was an issue. However when we got the order it clearly wasn’t GF. I complained. The manager ended up coming out and I had to explain my condition and how important it was for the food to be GF. They then brought us the correct GF meal.

We ordered a few more items and this time waiter indicated that one of the things we ordered was marinated in soy, so we adjusted our order.

Food was pretty good. I like that they have sustainable fish on their menu. And after the initial mishap, they seemed more conscientious about GF.

Ordered California roll and Mexican corn, both tasty and no reaction. Several other interesting items on GF menu. Staff said they prepare GF separately, but was a busy Saturday night so couldn’t get exact details.

Pacific Catch is one of my favorite chain restaurants.

They primarily serve responsibly sourced seafood and a few other dishes for non-seafood eaters.

I usually order their tacos or poke, but today I decided to go with their waygu burger. It was pretty good slightly on the salty side. I told my wait staff that I was GF/DF so she made sure my dish didn't contain those items and suggested alternatives.

Prices are typical of the cuisine, there is a parking garage about a block away, and service is usually fair to good.

Definitely not a dedicated establishment. It might be fine for the only gluten-sensitive; otherwise best avoid. There's soy on the menu as well, and many celiacs have a problem with that. This site should always specify if the joint has a dedicated no-gluten-at-all kitchen zone, even if that is rare as hen's teeth. :)

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten-free menu available. Great green curry with salmon. The gf menu could have more items considering how big the menu is.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My first visit here I had catch of the day green curry and brown rice. It was the best GF meal I have had to date.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Pacific catch! They do have a disclaimer on their menu about it being an active kitchen and cross-contamination possible, so if you have severe reactions I’d avoid.

However I had a delicious meal and the server assured me they understand celiac’s and cross-contamination. Love the drinks & rolls here!

I requested and ordered from a separate Gluten Free menu. I ordered the West Coast Tofu bowl and noted a “gluten allergy”. The waiter returned after talking to the chef and said the tofu (from the GF menu) is cooked in a shared fryer. He asked the chef if they would cook it instead in a clean pan, and they said no. While I was disappointed, I decided to skip eating here and was very thankful the waiter and chef identified the cross contamination for me. My gluten-eating kids and husband enjoyed their seafood!
