Didn't spend too much either.

The food is great, savory and well seasoned. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. The cocktails were decent, and they offer a good variety of beers. Service was lacking. The restaurant was not busy, but our server/host was on her cellphone most of the time. I had to approach her a few times to ask for things. I'm giving 4 stars because the food is good. The bathrooms were clean, and they have a couple of flat screens with music playing throughout the restaurant. The ambiance is lively.

However, I ordered the 2 lb shrimp special for $30 but it seems like this bag in the picture was only 1 lb. (Mind you, this bag came with potato and corn) I've never even finished 2 lbs of shrimp by myself before, so I asked her before the food came, if I could take home any leftovers since it was a dine in special. So clearly, I doubt i received the actual 2 lbs. I asked if she could ask the chef if i really received 2 lbs and he said I did. Anyways, I don't like to write negative reviews about small businesses but I think could've been avoided. Sorry to have to write this but it is kind've unfair cuz I also tipped. EDIT: If it really was two lbs then I'll update the review.

Pick-up is always seamless and they have a self-service shelf with all utensils, sauces, boxes etc. The food is decent. It's definitely not going to blow your socks off but it gets the job done when you are in a pinch and makes you feel better about yourself than going to In-n-Out across the street. I have tried the salmon plate and chicken kabob plate and the serving size is just about right for one person. They have a nice outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. I would never pay $16+ full price for this plate but if you can snag a deal like BOGO it's not bad.

Everything was delicious. Unfortunately, they don't have razor clams that day. The wait was about an hour, so joining the Yelp waitlist while driving to the restaurant definitely helped. The atmosphere felt lively and dynamic, especially with the upbeat background music.

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.

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!

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. Consistent, great service, and the food never misses. Easy 5 stars.
