We have been coming to Kings here for several years. I'm surprised I had not reviewed this place…read morebefore because we love this place. The service is always great, food is fresh and delicious, wine selections are decent. The bread they bring out is very delicious. It comes out warm. They have Belvedere for the best martinis and great wines by the glass. Typically I really enjoy getting the nigiri or the lobster roll, but this time I switched it up to get the swordfish tacos. It came with tortilla chips and guac. Waiter was very attentive and we were able to visit and chat after a hectic week.

The fish taco was packed and the tortilla did its part and didn't breakdown. The shrimp cocktail was perfect shrimp and veggies ratio. It was spicy and in a perfect cocktail.

Can't wait to try their downtown location

The Plus, Great Fish tacos, the tortilla chips are better than any taco shop or Mexican restaurant…read more There are 3 -4 hot sauce choices. The down side, They are a little bit pricier than other " Taco Tuesday" specials, but the fish is crispy, which is a plus. The down side is you do have to ask for cheese on your tacos ( for example the Brigantine fish tacos include cheese), caution: the request will cost $2 per Taco Tuesday plate ,which includes 3 tacos for $9.99 with a small side of tortilla chips. Two Taco Tuesday plates of 3 tacos each and an additional side of Tortilla chips plus $2 for cheese on each plate x2 plates =$29, which we were a little taken back by the price, especially since it's a food truck and there is no service or places to sit, so it's sidewalk ambience.. they have sit down Restaurant prices If I am in the area again, I may try Kiko's Place again

I enjoyed the big, juicy pieces of shrimp and the mango slaw on top. Would definitely get this one again! We also shared the fish and chips - beer battered cod. I liked how the breading wasn't thick and it remained crispy!! Also, it didn't feel heavy or too oily at all. The fish inside was moist. The coleslaw that came with it was good too and it was a little sweet. I didn't like the tartar sauce that much and honestly didn't feel like the fish needed it because it already had good flavor. Service was great! The person who took our order was very nice. Very casual place! Can't wait to come back and try other items

I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and while I understand it was late, the service was…read morecompletely dismissive. There was still a significant line, but when we finally got to the front, the waitress taking our order wouldn't even look at us. She spent a good portion of our "turn" chatting with another waitress before finally turning to us--still with zero eye contact. We ordered a cioppino, a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, fish and chips, and a dozen oysters. I noticed she shouted the soup orders back to the kitchen but didn't say a word about the fish and chips. When I specifically asked her if she got the fish and chips, she said "yes," took my card, and sent us to a table. Our soups and oysters arrived after 15 minutes, but another 30 minutes passed with no sign of the rest of the meal. When I followed up with the same waitress to check on the status, she looked at the order and flatly told me there were no fish and chips on there. By that point, the restaurant was already closing. She asked if I still wanted them, but after waiting that long and dealing with that level of indifference, I just said no. Extremely disappointing experience. If you're going to stay open for customers, you should at least provide basic communication and hospitality. I won't be coming back.

The place itself is chilly, clean, and comfortable. I've been to many crab boil spots where it's humid and sticky, but this one was the complete opposite. It has a great mom-and-pop vibe, and the servers were very attentive. Food came out fast too. I believe they offer all-you-can-eat on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which is a huge plus. Owner correct me if i got the days wrong. Between the four of us, we had beers, lobster tail, king crab, unlimited crab boil, and tip, and it was only around $300. That's very reasonable considering the quality. Definitely not cheap food, but high quality at a fair price. I'd definitely come back. As I was leaving, I noticed customers walking in with big smiles maybe the munchies ahem ahem, but I definitely ate a lot myself. Highly recommend everyone to try it out!!!

The meat was unbelievably tender, cooked to perfection, and packed with deep, rich flavor. Every element on the plate was balanced so well--it honestly felt like an explosion of flavors in the best possible way.

Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--it made the whole experience even better. And let me talk about the alfajores--WOW. The perfect level of sweetness, with just the right amount of crunch. Not too heavy, not too sugary--just pure perfection. Hands down, this is the best food I've had in San Diego to date. No exaggeration. I'll be back as often as I possibly can. If you're even thinking about trying this place--go. Trust me.

We had a party of 15 and from the planning process to the actual dinner, the restaurant made the entire experience feel special and seamless. Our employees absolutely loved it. The views are honestly second to none. Watching the San Diego skyline and water during dinner created such an incredible atmosphere. The service was outstanding from start to finish and the food completely lived up to the hype. I had the lobster mac and cheese and it was unlike anything I've ever had. Rich, flavorful, and worth every bite. Then dessert happened. Our server insisted I couldn't leave without trying the peanut butter brownie ice cream dessert and now I fully understand why. Unreal. I think I need about seven more of them immediately. Highly recommend for celebrations, group dinners, date nights, or anytime you really want to impress people.

You really can't go wrong with 100s Seafood Grill Buffet…read more I'm not one for gluttony, but if you're going to indulge in a buffet, you might as well go with a place that has options galore. As I get older & really start to appreciate the value of a dollar & the importance of choices, having Snow Crab legs (sweeter than the larger King Crab & not nearly as difficult to crack as Dungeness) is fast becoming a "non-negotiable" for me. Also, it always helps when a restaurant -buffet or not- is great with large parties. Coming with a group of 11, 100s Seafood Grill Buffet handled our group well. Spoiler alert, the place didn't even hesitate when we had 100+ guests come for a reception for a beloved one's passing a few years ago. Was it a chaotic? Sure. Did they handle as swimming as possible! Absolutely. Their sushi is fresh - especially for a buffet. My niece appreciated their "Make Your Own Poké" station. Also, don't knock them for having a pro serve ice cream. (Too many customers don't know how to properly scoop -Hint: Dip the scoop in the water & move to the scoop as a spherical ball). Don't sleep on the lime, melon, & grapefruit ice cream flavors as well. The great thing about this place (like any decent buffet) is that there is something for everyone & the quality is above what other places serve. There is a 2 hour limit - just remember to be reasonable. This place has to make a profit to stay in business.

The food was good but nothing spectacular for the price. Came for the unlimited lobster and the line was LONG.

Overall, a great experience and we'd definitely come back if we're in town and craving seafood

The grilled corn topping really added some nice flavor and I'm not usually a big fish person, but I loved the shrimp and actually really enjoyed the fish in the protein bowl as well! The salsa had a nice tang too, very good. The interior was clean and has cool decor and design choices. They have kiosks to order from which makes looking at all your options easy peasy. Plenty of seating inside and outdoor patio as well. Unique beverage fountain with yummy options! And lots of parking, always a plus for me.

Loved the clam chowder especially with a generous add of Tapatio. Nice and warm, creamy and a good amount of clams and potatoes. Also had the green burrito with shrimp which was huge and tasty. Big enough to split. Also got rice instead of beans...loved the rice! PS - Love the fishing decor especially the dozens of rods and reels in the ceiling!

OK SEAFOOD (3 stars)…read more - FOOD: ok - PRICES: ok - SERVICE: ok - AMBIANCE: ok Everything was just "OK". Came in during weekday after the lunch crowd and it was a near full house. Service was ok, most of the time overlooked because "sorry everyone came in at once" was the justification when nobody walked in and the rush lunch crowd was finishing up. The menu had plenty of offerings. LOCAL MANILA CLAMS ($18)- steamed in white wine, cilantro garlic butter & salsa fresca. Served with toasted bread (gf). First and foremost, the broth was a bit too wine-y and felt they could have cooked it down a little more to rid the alcohol taste. The amount of clams was generous. They were cleaned pretty well (very little grit found) and cooked nicely. The toasted bread helped get down the broth but still the wine flavor was overpowering. I'd like to come back and try some fish and chips but after this experience I'm not in a rush for it. Until the next review....

Service was excellent our servers always checked in on us and cleared the tables right away and topped of our water and made sure we had drinks flowing. They gave us a small champagne to start off the night. What a lovely touch and we will be sure to come back. One of our favorite restaurants in little Italy. Make a reservation because on a Sat night the wait was up to 3 hours...

Heard about this place for so long and finally got to try it when I went as part of a bachelorette…read more The space is actually pretty large inside. We got seated right around our reservation time. For food we got the "bigger" platter which comes with a bunch of seafood (oysters, shrimp, chopped tuna, rockfish ceviche, smoked swordfish dip and crudo) and accompaniments including dips, crackers, etc. Also ordered the charred octopus, fried rice and fries. All the seafood tasted really fresh and the platter was a great variety to try a bunch of things. My favorite was the the ceviche and the swordfish dip. Nothing was overly salty either. Fried rice tasted really decadent but it was yummy. Fries were thinner cut and crispy. The only slight letdown was the octopus. Kind of chewy and a small size for the price. Drinks did take a bit to come out but it was really busy. We were able to get a couple rounds of drinks and they gave us a couple free drinks to celebrate the bachelorette.
