    Was in Burbank with my daughter for a quick getaway. Looking for a dinner spot to grab something delicious, fast, and able to take back to our AirBnB, I stumbled across Fish King on yelp. My daughter was craving some calamari and I just wanted something yummy (seafood is my fav), so we decided to give this a try after a long day exploring museums around DTLA. As for my opinion of the food here, I would say, believe the general reviews. The fried foods, sushi and clam chowder were all high quality and reasonably priced. Just wish there was something like this in the bay area!

    Fish King is one of those places that reminds you why fresh seafood makes all the difference. We got three poke options--salmon, dynamite tuna, and scallops--and every single one was a winner. The salmon was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth good, the dynamite tuna brought just the right amount of spice and flavor, and the scallops were incredibly fresh, sweet, creamy, and tender. It's hard to pick a favorite when they're all this good! To balance out all the fresh seafood, we also ordered the fried onion rings and fried zucchini. Both came out perfectly golden and crispy, adding that satisfying crunch to the meal. What really stood out was that even after being fried, you could still taste the natural sweetness of the onions and zucchini. They weren't greasy at all--just light, crisp, and dangerously easy to keep snacking on. Between the quality of the seafood and the delicious sides, it's easy to see why Fish King has such a loyal following. Whether you're stopping by for poke, fresh fish, or just craving some seriously good seafood, this spot is always worth the trip. I'll definitely be back for more!

    Fish King has the highest quality fresh seafood. Period. I've been coming here for years, every time I visit family in SoCal and realized I had not written a review before. This time we made a Cioppino with fresh sea bass, salmon, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Used some of their fish stock as well. Delicious. I also discovered they have a nice restaurant next door. Good wine selection and anything and everything anyone would want to accompany seafood.

    A Glendale staple, Fish King is known for the freshest selections of seafood, sushi, and poke bowls. I ordered a poke bowl and a fried fish taco plate. I love how convenient the supermarket is to the restaurant. The tuna was amazing! The staff are super kind and efficient, there's sometimes a line but they manage it well. This is a casual shop with both a market and restaurant front. There's only a handful of staff and a handful of seating, but the whole experience is unique and worth it. Highly recommend!

    Today, we went back to Fish King to try the different fare. Staff order takers are indeed very pleasant and cheerful. The selection of entree is varied. Food is fresh tasting and delicious. Place is definitely great for that quick bite or even a date.

    We tried this Fish King today. The poke was pretty good, especially the scallops. But the bento box was just so-so, the fried oysters weren't that great. We also ordered a Teriyaki Chicken Combo, but the chicken was extremely dry. They clearly specialize in seafood, so why the heck did we order chicken? We only have ourselves to blame! Also, the cashier acted like we owed her money, even though we had already left a tip.

    Eddie and Joe are THE best!!! if you want to be sure that your dining experience is going to be awesome and hassle-free, it'd be in your best interest to be assisted by either of these fine men if not both of 'em. Eddie is so experienced and knows the menu, food prep, galley and the best customer service techniques. There's NO chance that these guys let you go home dissatisfied. The items my family most often orders includes: salmon sandwich with fries and Cole slaw, a dozen chicken won tons, a poke bowl with the hamachi (yellow tail) and spicy tuna, a fried shrimp taco, the smoked salmon pasta, mango salsa, crab cakes, crunch fish, CA & spicy tuna rolls, oysters on a half shell, veggies and sometimes their tempura. Needless to say, when we come here as a family, we feast. Zoila was another employee we loved seeing here but more recently we learned that she retired. How exciting for her!! The tables are always clean and tidy. Their trash cans are being emptied often. Folks are typically very nice about sharing chairs or squeezing by with a high chair. I've been coming here for probably 25 years or so now. It's a family favorite spot and I'm thrilled to have been able to share it with my lil one for the past almost 10 years now.

    We dined in and had sushi rolls which were fresh. I want to try their poke bowl next time. Staff was friendly and service was efficient. We parked on the street and I'm not sure if there is a larger parking lot. Worth a visit for fresh fish

    Fish King has been in business it seems forever. We love the place. It has the best service. I think it is family owned and Joe is great. The entire staff is great. They know everything about their fish and even the things they sell that you want to use to make your fish. The place is always clean and fresh smelling. The prices are very fair. The wait for service is never long. They have the best salmon and white fish around. They clearly get fresh fish daily. We have never had a bad experience. They even have a place to eat and they make prepared food for you. It is wonderful. Parking is easy and the staff is the best so have fun and go there. You will not be disappointed.

    If you're craving seafood, this is the place to go to. Or, the place to grab all your seafood to make your meals at home. This place has some areas to sit and eat at, but I wouldn't recommend it. Staff is very nice and helpful. I enjoyed their poké and fish and chips. Will come back again.

    Poke Bowl - Hawaii Style Tuna Poke
    Winnie L.

    I've tried a handful of poke spots in SoCal and Fish King is ranked number 1 for me at this moment. The prices are reasonable for about $17 for a poke bowl. You choose whichever poke flavor you want and it includes white rice, a scoop of seaweed salad and a scoop of krab salad. It's regular white rice, not seasoned sushi rice. I chose the Hawaii style tuna poke and as someone born and raised in Oahu, I approve! Well seasoned and the fish is cut/cubed perfectly. They have free parking. The store is pretty big. All the way to the left is pre-made sushi/grab & go meals. There is seating to enjoy your food inside. The middle of the store is to purchase seafood and/or poke by the pound. All the way to the right is their kitchen where you order poke bowls/soups/rice bowls/tacos etc. You can dine in or takeout. Staff was really sweet and courteous.

    Lots of people working behind the counter so it was pretty quick and easy after you grab a ticket. Poke was fresh and yummy! Great grab to bring to the beach :)

    We are still big fans of the Fish King. Because we do not live close by, we don't get there as often as we'd like but do make a point to stop by if we are going to be in the general area. We take a cooler with us and are always able to get a bag of ice upon request. Since my last review, the selection of items has remained consistent. We particularly love the fresh fish, the shellfish, and the poultry. There is a great selection of Asian staples, along with a decent wine selection. There is a private parking lot but do know that at certain times of the day, it gets filled up. We were most recently there during lunch time and got in just before the rush. When we left, there were a lot of cars waiting for a space. The service is great. On our last visit, Kiwi helped us. We were getting fish, shrimp, poke, and chicken breasts. He was very friendly and very helpful. I always ask to have the full chicken breasts cut in half and get a couple to be able to freeze. When I got home, I saw that he'd butchered them perfectly. We have been coming to Fish King for probably close to 30 years now. There's no better seafood market that I know of in the area.

It brings so much joy to the street every time I pass it and shows how much pride, care, and passion the people here put into what they do. You can tell they genuinely want to create something special, not just inside the store, but for the whole community around them. That's awesome. Second, the food here is phenomenal and actually priced well. It's refreshing to find a place that serves such high-quality food at prices that still feel decently affordable. Their lunch menu is next level just the photos alone will make you drool, and again great prices considering 2026's economy. It is delicious, satisfying, and honestly a better value than many cafes that charge the same or more for food that is nowhere near as good. The ladies who run the shop are also incredibly friendly, warm, and personable. They are always courteous, fun to talk to, and bring such great energy to the space. Every visit feels welcoming and upbeat and I look forward to coming in to grab a huge pack of smoked salmon for $18 and some fresh Russian bread (toasted with butter!) for a few bucks. Perfect lunch and dinner for this guy haha! I sincerely hope this business continues to thrive for many years to come. They deserve it. THANK YOU SEVEN SEAS!!

Maybe they were loyal frequent customers, I don't know. Maybe it was l innocent, but unfortunately, the experience left me feeling singled out and unwelcome. It's not really about getting a free pastry or baguette but about this unwelcoming behavior. I should probably mention that it was 2 different employees offering complimentary items to the 2 customers.

One of his customers accidentally drove into the wall in the parking lot. Instead of getting upset or angry, Leroy's first reaction was to make sure she was okay.

He told her not to worry about the damage because he was just happy she wasn't hurt. Seeing how shaken and upset she was, he even gave her a quick side hug to comfort her. In a situation where many people would have focused on the accident, Leroy chose kindness and empathy. That says so much about his character. It's rare to meet someone who genuinely puts people before property, and I think that's something worth recognizing and supporting.
