Delicious pizza and salad, and they were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions! Gluten free menu had a nice selection, and they also offer vegan cheese for those who are lactose sensitive! Service was fast and very pleasant.

Their gluten free pasta was the best I’ve ever had!🤤 The texture is very similar to regular pasta, al dente. I have been craving it daily since I dined there.

I like this place. I was able to get a simple burger that fit my dietary requirements but tasted really good. They do country homemade style gluten free buns and they ask you how you like your burger cooked - I went medium rare which was perfect. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which were not overly salty like they often are elsewhere. The decor is like a clean version of the stereotypical American diner and the staff were very pleasant. The prices were reasonable for San Mateo. I'll be back soon.

Love going to this restaurant! They have good options for gluten sensitive diners. I usually get the veggie roll and guac and chips. Our branch/office orders delivery for our client lunch meetings on a regular basis. The packaging presentation meets expectations and so far our orders have been accurate. When my friend and I went to dinner this past Sunday, we were pleasantly greeted by the host and served attentatively by our server. Our food came out promptly and delicious. Chef Eber and his team turn out flavorful dishes on a consistent basis, whether for in-house dining or delivery service. Pacific Catch continues to be my go-to restaurant when I want to have a great dining experience for myself, friends/family, and or clients.

I love Thai food, and I'm really happy they had stir fry noodles. Me and my party arrived pretty close to closing time, and they still served us well and made good food. The quality was pretty much the same as most other Thai places I've been to; great. I'm glad they clearly label their vegetarian, spicy, and gluten free foods. The restaurant is well decorated with a welcoming atmosphere. Really, there is not much left to say, I had a fine meal. I hope to come again soon. 4/5.
