    First time here and it didn't disappoint! The shrimp cocktail is sooo good. 10/10. Service was also very attentive and amazing. Will definitely be coming back.

    Excellent service and food. All of the food was perfectly cooked and came out quickly very large portions and so delicious. The ambience was great, cute decor, mellow music and live musicians who played a few songs.

    Decided to try out this new business that opened recently around me and everything was stellar. I walked past them once and they weren't very busy and decided to look them up and saw only good reviews. The chips I can tell are made in house and the salsa is so spicy but yummy. The soup has a spicy ish seafood taste but I really liked it too. Torta was good with good portions and came with avocado! Very lovely. They definitely deserve more business, a lot of care is placed into the food

    mole plate (lunch special)

    Food: Ordered the lunch special (mole plate). The order also came with complimentary chips, salsa, and a soup. Mole itself was tasty. Chicken was tender. Tortillas were thick (thicker than the normal ones you buy at the grocery store). That said, lunch was almost 20 bucks (18.00) for two pieces of chicken and sides. Food is good but it can be a tad pricey. Service was good. Very friendly. Answered all my questions in a kind manner. No complaints. Ambience: Beach themed inside. Outside looks a bit normal. Overall a very nice family owned restaurant. Definitely worth it to try to place out!

    Aguachiles y Taco Al Gobernador

    Absolutely amazing mariscos spot! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The chips and salsa were perfect, nice and crunchy with a good level of spice. The music was also my fav-chill Spanish music that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The aguas frescas were incredibly refreshing and delicious. We ordered the aguachiles, filete a la diabla, taco de gobernador, and a tostada de pulpo, and every single dish was packed with flavor! My mom's favorite was definitely the filete a la diabla, the spiciness was spot on hehe A huge plus is that the tortillas are handmade, which really takes everything to the next level. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. Highly recommend this place if you're craving authentic, flavorful seafood with great vibes and amazing service. We'll definitely be back! (They even gave us complimentary ice cream towards the end, so sweet!)

    The food was excellent! Freshly opened when I got here, found it through Yelp and as usual wasn't disappointed. Good service, pleasant and unusual custom made decore. Overall a pleasant experience. I live out of state so probably won't be able to come back, but I encourage others to try this place out and help them succeed.

    The food was amazing! We loved all of it, and the portions were a great size! The service was excellent, and we can't wait to come back!

    Went here on a whim since they're open until midnight, and I'm so glad we did. The first thing that…read moresurprised me was how affordable everything was compared to other seafood boil spots. You really get a lot for the price, and the shrimp were HUGE. The sauce was packed with flavor -- the perfect balance of spice, butter, and seasoning. Simple, messy, and absolutely delicious. Service was also great. There was only one server working, but he stayed on top of everything and made sure everyone was taken care of. The place itself is a little small, but it actually made the experience feel more cozy, and we got seated right away since it wasn't too busy. Definitely feels like a hidden gem and one of those spots you almost don't want too many people finding out about. Will definitely be back.

    This place is so refreshing compared to your niche kicking crab or boiling crab…read more We mixed our own bag with the daddy sauce. With the amount of garlic they put in the sauce it's so well balanced that I couldn't even tell garlic was in there! We got the omg level spicy & it hits you in the back vs the front. Doesn't linger too long & gets you coming back for more. I love that the food came in a party tray and not in a bag. Instead of egg noodle for garlic noodles they used linguine. Soooooooo goood! Felt way less heavier. Overall, the food was delicious, flavorful, not too oily. 10/10 The girl who took our order was super sweet! The place is small and super clean. & I love that they were playing Spanish music! So happy we decided to try this place!

I can't wait to order out again and get my sushi fix on!!! Such a neighborhood gem!!!!

    Came here because a coworker and I saw Sandra L. post some seriously delicious-looking pictures,…read moreand we had to check it out for ourselves. We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

    KING'S Fish House (Orange) -- still undefeated in my book…read more Came in recently and once again... just a solid experience all around. The vibe here is always chill and low-key, which I appreciate--never too loud, just a good spot to actually enjoy your meal. We were seated right away (always a good start), and drinks came out almost immediately. Our server was ON IT the whole time--attentive, quick, and super friendly without hovering. Started with the calamari (non-negotiable at this point). It comes with Mae Ploy sweet chili and a roasted pepper aioli--both . Crispy, not greasy, and the portions are solid. For mains: Seared Yellowfin Salad -- super fresh, light, and flavorful. The citrus ginger dressing really brings it together. New England Lobster Roll -- buttery, packed with lobster, and comes with fries + slaw. No complaints here. Had to end it with dessert since we were celebrating--went with the bread pudding this time instead of my usual butter cake. Honestly... no regrets. Warm, soft, rich, with that Jack Daniel's sauce and vanilla bean ice cream melting over the top. Yeah... it's a problem King's is always in my rotation when I'm craving seafood.
