Spacious seafood spot with a vast menu! Definitely can find good things with so many options, lol! Came with family members who's been here before and brought us to try it out. They brought a bottle from home, since this place allows free corkage for first bottle, what a nice service to provide wine glasses for your wine! Ordered several things and all good with a couple standouts. This place has good sauces to dip seafood into, to provide the extra flavors I am always looking for. - fresh sourdough & whipped butter = always my pleasure! - calamari, crab cakes = fried well and tasty appetizers with the sauce. - oyster sampler = got to try 3 of them, all were very fresh and good! - sand dabs = satisfying big pieces, could use some more of the sauce over it. surprised there isn't any rice or fries for the sides, which would make this dish more satisfying. mac n cheese was ok for me, but kid loved it when brought the leftovers home:) - soft shell crabs (southern fried) = wow, this was easily my favorite thing! 2 big soft shell crabs fried to perfection with tasty tartar sauce. Those crabs were delicious, would love to get this again!!! Never had whole soft shell crabs like this, only the small pieces appetizer at sushi joints. This was a much more enjoyable way to eat those soft shell crabs! - clam linguini = got a taste, pretty good. all about the sauce I guess. - seafood chowder = got a spoonful to try with a chunk of fish. like a vegetable soup with seafood flavors, wow, this was also very delicious and the fish chunk was fresh and perfect! - also got the fish n chips, but forgot to take pics = big thick chunks of cod was quality and delicious. but kinda pricey for fish n chips, so made sure to get the 3 piece for averaging cost down, lol. Enjoyed it here, so many more things to try too... read more

It was fine. I like to call places like this "strip mall fancy". It's not fancy, but more expensive and better than Olive Garden. My 16yo didn't love his fried shrimp and scallops. I got grilled which were pretty good albeit overcooked. We ordered an app that I can't remember what it was - so that says something. Service was very good. read more

ample parking, great service, and delicious food! What a great space to have delicious food or to enjoy a large party celebration. I order the following and would definitely get again: a dozen of Kumamoto oysters they give you different dipping sauces and my favorite for the habanero one which wasnt too spicy. Crab cakes and calamari were sharable for an appetizer. For my main entree I ordered the Shrimp & Scallop Combo with sweet, buttered corn and brussels sprouts with bacon bits. The shrimp reminded me of the shrimp from Mexico, so it was quite nostalgic to eat. read more

We LOVED it here! Definitely coming back with the rest of the family. The oyster sampler was perfect for the 3 of us. The clam chowder is amazing. The miso sea bass was also super good. Pretty upscale atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or a nice dinner with the fam. The service was great until it became peak dinner time and I think they might've forgot about us. Didn't really come back to check on us once we got our food. read more

King's Fish House - Orange - Oyster Sampler - Seafood Near Me - Orange, California

We celebrated Father's Day two days early and the men chose King's Fish House. I usually make most of my reservations through Open Table, but nothing was available for a party of nine for lunch, so I called the restaurant. The hostess who answered my call was able to "squeeze" us in at 1:15 PM. Service was fantastic from the moment we walked through the door. Both hostesses were so friendly and welcoming and seated us right away (we did arrive about 15 minutes early). Our server, Colleen, was also fantastic! She was very easy to talk with as we had a couple of short conversations during our time there. She was also very pleasant when my daughter's cheeseburger came with everything on it, which she only eats plain, and took it back and had it made the way she likes it. Everyone was very happy and satisfied with what they ordered. I wanted to try something different and decided to order the Seafood Cioppino. It had a nice variety of seafood such as fish, crab, three shrimp, calamari, clams and mussels. It was a bit hard to eat because I had to peel the shrimp and crack open the crab, so it did get a bit messy. I was given a bib to use, which came in handy. My son and I ordered the Crunchy Roll and it's one of the BEST we've ever tasted! My family and I would agree the BEST food was the sourdough bread and butter that comes with our meals! It's always so hot and freshly made! The restaurant wasn't too crowded, which made it even nicer for all nine of us to talk and enjoy our Father's Day celebration! read more

Came here for dinner and had a pretty good experience overall. The crab cakes were delicious and packed with flavor. I'd definitely order those again. I also tried the clam linguine, which was just okay for me. It had a very strong seafood flavor and I wish it had a bit more butter to balance everything out. The fish and chips were good with nice flavor, but the batter was a little soggy on one side but still enjoyable just not as crispy as I was hoping for. Overall, a solid seafood spot with some standout dishes, especially the bread and crab cakes. I'd come back to try more of the menu. read more

Service was great waitress was nice complimentary bread nice too. Marie loved her halibut. I on the other hand did not care for the seafood soup! Huge pieces of tomato the calamari were teeny tiny pieces that were over cooked not good at all. The other tiny fin pieces of fish were ridiculously tiny and there were only 2 and I'm sorry too over priced, there were too many onions and red peppers and green peppers. Your side house salad being $12.50 too high priced same for Caesar salad $12.00. I can see $6 each but not $12.50 or $12.00! There were nice big fish on walls and crab and lobster tanks too . read more

KING'S Fish House (Orange) -- still undefeated in my book. 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. read more

Came here for dinner. This place has always been impeccably clean and the staff friendly and helpful. We started with calamari and an oyster flight. For entrees, we got lobster roll and nawlins bbq shrimp, Calamari- Served hot and fresh. The breading is crisp and tasty with a soft and chewy interior. The aioli and tartar sauce on the side enhances every bite. Oyster Flight- The oysters are so fresh and meaty! Each type has a unique flavor and you get a variety of condiments and sauces to go wih it. Lobster Roll- I got this maine style which is cold with mayo. The lobster is fresh and juicy and the sauce elevates the flavors without overpowering it. The roll is warm and buttery and the fries are perfectly crisp. Nawlins Bbq Shrimp- This is a sweet and tangy dish! The shrimpis juicy and the sauce tickles the tastebuds. Served with fluffy rice and a side of garlic bread. Great experience overall! read more

Long-time diner, first-time reviewer. This place has become a special spot for us - it's where we had our very first date, so I thought it'd be meaningful to come back a year later for our anniversary. They also went out of their way to seat us at the same table where we sat a year ago upon our request! They are so sweet for doing that! I had added a little note in my OpenTable reservation just to see if they'd acknowledge it, and they did! They surprised us with a complimentary anniversary dessert - a generous portion of bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (forgot to take a picture!) - which definitely earned major brownie points! The bread and butter here are always a hit - freshly baked, hot, and perfectly crunchy every time. My go-to entrée is always the Chilean Seabass. They make it perfect here - flaky and "stringy", and seasoned just right. They offer it two ways: Miso Yaki (my favorite) which is sweet and saucy with veggies, and Wild Ross, which is grilled and a bit on the drier side. We ordered both tonight, and they were solid dishes all around. I'll admit the price is steep at $44 each, but they're consistently delicious. Overall, we had a great experience - both the food and service delivered. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Seldom does one find an eatery that combines excellent food, ambiance, and service so flawlessly. King's Fish House is such an eatery. Fresh sea food is a welcome constant with the added benefit of a skilled cook staff able to prepare off- menu upon request. King's has been a reliable staple for our family for many years, and an eagerly welcomed respite from mediocre dining. read more

Kings fish house is part of the Watergrill family with a fraction of the price. They have no corkage and their seafood tower is pretty decent. It's not as up to par as Watergrill but for the price point. It's pretty legit. They have great appetizer options and fish dishes that include 2 sides. read more

I wasn't going to do a review since it hasn't been long since the previous one, but this was delicious! Service was good as usual and the weather was beautiful so we chose to sit outside. We noticed that they had a lobster boil on the menu and decided to order it. This was absolutely delicious! The lobster was perfectly cooked and meaty with an amazing flavor! Everything in it was tasty and don't regret giving it a chance. We also decided to order a different dessert than the usual (key lime) and went for the bread pudding. It was really good with barely any raisins, just the way I like it. read more

I took my family to King's Fish House and am happy to say our seafood cravings were well satisfied! This restaurant offers a nice, diverse menu of options in a comfortable sit-down environment. This is a nice spot for families, big groups, or to take a date. The staff have always been friendly, and the food is prompt. *House Bread: I'm a big fan of house bread, and this restaurant has one of my favorites because it's sourdough. It came to our table warm, fresh, and with that classic sourdough taste present. We actually ended up asking for a second loaf since we ate it so quickly. *Clam Chowder: A classic seafood soup. There are bits of clam and potatoes throughout, no complaints here. *Crispy Calamari: The plating made it seem like the serving size was on the smaller end. Quantity-wise no one mentioned it, so I wonder if it's just how it appeared or if this is the standard size. I like that the calamari breading is thin and doesn't drown the calamari. The breading is seasoned well, and the dish was crispy. *Grilled Shrimp with Corn: The shrimp were large, cooked well, and tasty. They give a decent number of jumbo-sized shrimp (about six). The corn sides (my younger brother insisted on ordering corn twice instead of two different sides this time) were grilled and seasoned, so at least it was delicious to eat and didn't taste tinny or canned. *Chilean Miso Sea Bass: The fish was tender and flavorful! The miso is strong in this dish and on the thicker end, and it pairs well with jasmine rice to temper it. I appreciate that the cut of fish was large and there were plenty of mushrooms in the sauce. It's on the pricier end of the menu, but in a range that's common for sea bass dishes overall. Due to the size, it's a good shareable in my opinion. Overall, this is a great spot for seafood. I also haven't had any issues with parking. It's part of a larger plaza that has a movie theater, but there's side parking right next to the restaurant. read more

I recently visited King's Fish House in Orange, and it reminded me why this place has such a loyal following. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed--exactly the kind of environment that makes seafood feel comforting rather than fussy. The restaurant has that classic coastal‑casual vibe King's is known for: warm lighting, nautical touches, and a layout that feels open without being loud. It's the kind of place where you can come for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a low‑key date night and feel equally at home. The staff greeted me right away, and the service throughout my visit was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed. What I appreciate most about King's is their commitment to fresh seafood, and this visit was no exception. The menu is extensive, and I love that they list where many of their fish selections are sourced from--it gives the whole experience a sense of transparency and care. Everything I ordered tasted clean, well‑seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. The fish was tender and flaky, the shellfish tasted fresh, and the flavors were balanced without being overly heavy. King's does a great job of letting the seafood shine rather than drowning it in sauces. The service was warm and steady throughout my meal. My server checked in at the right moments, offered helpful recommendations, and made sure everything came out fresh and hot. It's the kind of service that makes you feel taken care of without hovering. read more

Just went again on 3/7/26. I have eaten here off and on when I visit for 20 yrs. Consistently excellent in the food and always accommodating service. The Chilean sea bass is the best. If you visit the coast you expect high quality seafood dishes. King Fish will not fail to deliver above and beyond what's expected. Thank you for remaining consistent! read more

My friend took me here for my birthday 12/14/25. The LA Rams were hosting the Detroit Lions so I requested a table close to a TV to watch the game. The host abided and sat us where we had a TV to ourselves and switch to the Rams/Lions game. We were approached by our waitress who took our drink orders. As for appetizers we chose a half dozen variety oysters. Which were good I don't remember which oysters I had. But I would get them again. As for my main course I chose macadamia crusted halibut with mac and cheese and mash potatoes for my sides. And for dessert we did the key lime pie and butter cake which were both delicious. It was my first time here and both service and food were excellent. I would return and recommend. read more

So 2 years later I decided to come back here and give this Orange location another try and the Service was Excellent!!! Yay! Christopher helped my family and he was attentive, friendly and provided the best customer service. Our meal was delicious and perfect thanks to him! The food is always good here (love the oysters, artichokes, scallops, the amazing sourdough bread!) and just make sure to make a reservation on Open Table so you don't have to wait. Also when you make your reservation you can request indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was January I preferred indoor seating and the ambiance is nice with a mixture of booths and tables plus the bar area. read more

Over the years, Kings has become one of my favorite restaurants. The sand dabs are my favorite dish. I love the lemon and caper sauce and the fish is coated with just the right amount of crunchy parmesan. The garlic spinach is fantastic. I also enjoy the mashed potatoes. The bread and butter is wonderful. My husband and I also like to share the garlic edamame and some cold shrimp on ice. The edamame packs quite a garlic punch. The ambiance is romantic but also a great place to have dinner with a friend. I brought a friend here this past week. The service is also great. I absolutely love this place. read more

Service was really slow. Typically wheat people depend on tips and you're gonna get tips based on selling more. We never got asked if we needed another drink we had to ask for another. My husband ordered the oysters, which is a mix of different kinds and love them. Clam chowder was pretty good. Then all down hill from there. I had the macadamia crusted halibut which was completely overcooked, possibly a bit freezer burned. I love spinach, but theirs was so bland. Hubby had the Louie. The worst ever. Co many carrot chunks, onions , celery, and a small amount of tasteless shrimp. Thankfully we were not charged for either entree. read more

Big kiddos to that staff for doing that. The sourdough always seems to warm my soul. It's served warm with butter and it just hits the spot. Chowder was exceptional. Good sized morsels.

The service from the waitress was exceptional and the food -- both the salmon and the dessert -- was delicious. The salmon was grilled well and was accompanied by a half of cooked lemon.

The dessert -- crème brûlée-- was very tasty and had delicious custard and burnt cream on top. I recommend these meal items to anyone! Till next time. read more
