This is a great out of the way space. If you blink you will definitely miss it. But I must say a hidden gem. Quick and well seasoned food for a great price. I was in the mood for some scallops and did a quick Yelp search near me and this spot came up. So in my Yelp Elite curious mind I ventured out. I was not disappointed at all the seafood was fresh and fried to perfection. This is a must try for all. read more

I was a little hesitant to try this place out with mixed reviews, but I am glad I did. It is easy to miss from the road, as it's in a shopping center. So be mindful of that. I got the shrimp, fries, and a side of hushpuppies. Price was decent for the amount of food I got. Food was delicious and perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend. Just FYI, It is a "take out only", so you can not eat at the restaurant. read more

King's Seafood - Shrimp, fries, and hushpuppies - Seafood Markets Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

This was undeniably the WORST seafood meal I have ever cooked, been cooked, bought in my entire life. The fish was 20 parts batter and 1 part fish. The hishpuppies were the same. A complete waste of $15.00 If you have a choice . . . PASS ON THIS PLACE!! read more

We love their fish sandwich and dinners. The prices are great and we are never disappointed with the size of our choices. We have ordered from King's at least 6 times last year and plan to go back at least 6 times this years. Our orders are always correct and ready when we arrive. read more

You,have the worst in Norfolk your seafood taste nasty I went there last summer and spent my money for some garbage. There were bad grease that hasn't been changed, I had to put my food in the trash ,and your custom service is very nasty people I will never buy any thing else from you again. Food to nasty. read more

Very nice place. Service is good like McDonald's he told me to lmk when I was ready. Food is good will post picture. read more

King's Seafood - a fried chicken sandwich and french fries - Seafood Markets Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Today I had the scallops and oyster dinner ($10.99). I received 4 scallops (which were 2 cut in half) and 4 oysters! The scallops... welllll, me and my guest started eating them at the same time... and we BOTH spit them out at the same time! They were OLD! The oysters were 99.9% breading! read more

Great little neighborhood fish spot and very reasonable prices. The 3 (big) pieces of fried whiting, fries, cole slaw, and hush puppies for $6.55 is one of the best deals in town and very delicious. Another bargain was the "side" of fried oysters. It included eight large and tasty oysters fried to perfection. If you're looking for simple fried seafood to go, you can't do much better. Their quality and value certainly blows the chain seafood places out the water. read more

Food is good.... I had fish and fries and the prices are decent.. I would definitely go back again ...

The crabs are great!!!! The service is fast. I had the fish sandwich as well which was delicious and a great price. My only downside or complaint is that they don't clean the shrimp to my liking. You can still spot the poop ! read more

The steamed crabs were kinda pricey but it was worth getting my crab fix. It was meaty, fresh and the size of the crab was descent too. I will go back and get them again. read more

Food was fresh, seasoned, and hot...cooked to order. Ive been there a few times and it's never too busy and the service is quick. read more

This is my go to spot when I want steamed crabs. I've also had the fried shrimp here which are very very good. I love their prices and they are very affordable. Quality of crabs out when every crab spot in the area. I am specifically talking about blue crabs. You can get a dozen of females easy for under $15. I do love their jimmys and enjoy them very much but they rarely have them. This is not a eat and seafood place. Here's a tip call ahead for going to get your crabs. They can get full pretty fast with my walk in customers. I prefer Wickers for eat in crabs, but Kings Seafood is by far the best for takeout. Crabs are always very clean. Another tip, when you ask for heavy seasoning, they really don't put it on like you want. I just buy the container of seasoning from them for about $3. read more

Fried seafood, cheap, and good. You can get many things fried here: oysters, scallops, crab, fish, clams. It is all fried and comes with sauce to dip. The sample platters are good to try out the different options. Oysters are pretty big in size Portions are big for the price. This place is a place to get the food to go as it's not meant to be a sit down place. read more

Never disappointed when I get food from here. This will always be my go to spot for fried shrimp. They clean their shrimp so well, the batter is crispy and not oily. The prices are reasonable. The parking lot always have parking. However there's only really one table in there so I'm guessing they don't really want people to sit and stay because most of the time the table is accompanied by people waiting for takeout. I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area. read more

I heard the food was real good. But the customer service sucks. The owner was very rude. Upset because we were not there in 30 minuets. The tunnel was backed up and accident coming from Hampton Road read more

The first time I came to kings seafood the food was great. The service was quick. Definitely recommend ordering via phone if possible. Second time the food tasted as if it had sat in oil all night and really messed with mine and my husbands stomach. The hush puppies are really good here and so are the shrimp. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. read more

Its a small mom & pop seafood pickup place that's just absolutely EXTRAORDINARY! I have been coming here for 3 years now and not once was the food just good... its OUTSTANDING!! I usually get the Lunch Special A: 3 Piece whiting fish served with hush puppies, french fries and coleslaw for $5.56 including tax. I have tried their fried crabs as well and they are just AMAZING! The meals are prepared right when ordered so you get it nice and hot, and takes less than 10 minutes to cook. I recommend calling for a pickup if you're on a tight schedule and you don't want to have to wait. Here's just a sample of what you can order: chicken tenders, chicken wings, trout, flounder, spot, croaker, shrimp, scallops, oysters, catfish, tilapia, crab cakes, softshell crab, clam strips, and male or female crabs which is seasonal (March to November). I highly recommend if you're a seafood lover. read more

I haven't tried everything they have so I can't speak on everything but far as crabs there was parasites all in them they were not properly cleaned at all if it is happening with other seafood they have the health department need to be called read more

I ordered the seafood platter and I regret spending $30 The catfish was not fish at all I don't know that was I gave it to my dog the shrimp and clams was dry and rough the only thing that was decent was the oysters and hush puppies I won't be back read more

The food here is actually amazing!!! The scallops are so divine, sweet, succulent and perfectly fried! The shrimp, dish, sides even down to the cocktail sauce is all really REALLY good!! The owner is so kind and very accommodating. They go out of their way to make sure you are happy. I THINK I seen a sign that they take EBT on uncooked food-but don't quote me. I'll update this review next time I'm in there. Get the scallops and thank me later! ;) read more

So i just want to start by saying DO NOT EAT HERE. The quality of seafood is extremely poor i ordered the whiting and shrimp the shrimp and fish was mostly breading and very cheap quality meat, the fish was extremely mushy like it may have been old and the food was not seasoned. Also the customer service is HORRIBLE. The owner and his wife are extremely NASTY and short tempered i went in and asked for extra condiments for my DRY food and was told they only give a certain amount per customer. When i called to make an order over the phone the man told me he can not take my phone order and just hung up. Very rude please do not waste your money on this bland food. If you're looking for seafood in this area i suggest OUR PEOPLES SEAFOOD they have excellent quality and great read more

These people serve the worst seafood that I have ever tasted. I am surprised that they are still in business. My wife brought me fried butterfly shrimp that was extra greasy and upset my stomach. I also recieved what these people claim to be a crab cake. It was very salty and was nothing but filler. The only thing which resembled crab in this crab cake was pieces of shell. The owners should be ashamed trying to pass this food off as seafood. Do not waste your money eating here read more

Bottom line: combo C1 is about $10. Get it. It feeds two people and the scallops alone are worth the $10. Seriously. If you can stomach the drive here, go and eat. There's next to no seating inside - I have no shame and eat in the parking lot off the roof of my car. Go. Stop thinking and just go. read more

This place is definitely a nice little spot for your seafood The fish is very fresh I ordered the fried whiting with fries My hubby ordered the scallop & shrimps. They have great specials at affordable prices. Also they have great customer service very friendly read more

The food is great except for the crabcake and the scallops are sometimes undone. My husband and I had been ordering from Kings for about 3 years. I recently, visited with my sister and order the same thing I been ordering the seafood platter and asked that they hold the crabcake because I do not like it. The guy actually said he couldn't do that, walked away from the counter and then sent his son to wait on me. I'm not sure if he had a bad day or what, however after 3 years of spending my money at this establishment. I've decided to find a more customer friendly establishment. read more

Was so so pleased with this place! For the price, its some of the best you can get. You can even choose whether you want your seafood fried or steamed, and the owners are really nice. My husband and I were looking for a quick seafood place that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and we found it. Will definitely be back. read more

For the price, this little seafood place is pretty decent. The pros: Wide variety of seafood Inexpensive considering what you get The Cons: The seafood can be rather bland due to the fact that much of it is frozen before cooking I am not crazy about their deep fried breading, but it's OK. Mostly for take out -- not really a sit down and eat kind of place Compared to a Captain D's or a Long John Silvers this place is fantastic. That said, if you have more upscale seafood tastes then be prepared because this isn't it - lol. Still, for the price, you can't beat it. read more

Wowwwww just finished my first plate here!! Ate it so fast I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it..but I can to kings for the fish and it was amazing!!!!!!! read more

My husband and I ate here for dinner. I'm from this part of the country, so I knew what to expect, but he was disappointed. I ordered a fish combo while he got the scallops and oysters. I received so much fish that I could barely finish. He on the other hand received about 4 of each. The portion size of the sides was really small...in a little plastic cup with a lid. They were even lacking in the fry department. If you are looking for homemade sides, this isn't the place for you. In conclusion, the food was fried well. Portion size is pretty small, unless you get fish I guess. The food is also pretty cheap. If you don't want to wait, you can call ahead, but I think waiting is a better idea with fried foods. 2.5 stars, but I rounded up. read more

Great stop through Norfolk! Don't let appearance of this tiny take out restaurant deceive you Shrimp and Oysters were mouth watering, lightly breaded and fried. My only regrets: 1) King's Seafood is not in Richmond. 2) Generous portion left me too full to eat anything else. read more

This place has great food for affordable price. My boyfriend order the 2 pc whiting with fries special for about $4 last week. I sampled his fish and had to come back for my own. I ordered the 3 pc whiting with fries, hush puppies and cole slaw. I didn't enjoy the close slaw, too sweet for my liking but I still gave 5 stars. Highly recommended! read more

The only place I go to get my steamed crabs. They are seasoned so good and juicy not dry. I don't go anywhere else.

I am a seafood lover so I know good food versus junk. This place is top notch. It is more of a carryout place, so do not expect any fancy decor or excellent service, but the food speaks for itself. I ordered the C1 Seafood platter..there was enough food for two people but I refuse to share it. The prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. Every thing is cooked hot to order so you will have a short wait. The fried platter is not greasy or heavily breaded, so you can really taste the seafood. Even the hush puppies are good. I meant to add a pic of my overflowing plate but I ate it too fast! It didn't get 5 stars just because one of the staff members has a nasty attitude. The regular staff is great though. Try this place...you will love it. read more

I am very disappointed in the service my father and fiancé received when visiting this restaurant today. My fiancé took my father to King's to treat him to a nice lunch at a place his family had been to in the past. The Korean gentleman (I know this because I have been here before and am 1/2 Korean myself and have spoken to this gentleman in Korean) behind the counter took the order for over $25 dollars while my father was standing next to him without issue. When my fiancé went back up to the counter to add a drink to the order he gave him two $1 bills to pay for it. The Korean gentleman held the dollar bill up to the light and proceeded to mark the bill with the counterfeit pen. As my father knows some Korean he asked the man in both English and Korean why he felt the need to check the $1 bill the man responded that it looked washed, which it did not. My father explained that he just pulled it out of his wallet. My issue is that he had no problem taking the initial payment when my father was standing there, however, when my fiancé returned to add on he made a scene out of a $1 bill. I am extremely disappointed at the disrespectful nature of how he handled the situation and will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Good cheap seafood perfect for a quick meal to take home in Tidewater.

Fresh seafood .. Good to go. I wish they had more options than fried and steamed but its good to go no doubt. A much better option than Captain D's and Long John silver. read more

I like kings for their crabs, I don't like the fact that they don't thaw the fish b4 cooking. Causes breading to separate from the fish. But shrimp turns out well. Good food, good prices. Great specials. read more
