The Filet Mignon Shaken Beef with Fried Rice was the champion of the night. The fried rice has that smoky taste. So good! And lastly, Steamed Clams with Tom Yum were refreshing. 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.

( no pun intended ) Meet up with a group of friends and it was nice because we got to order more and share the various dishes. You can literally find sour, spicy, savory, and sweet on the menu.

Really love the dessert they give you when you're done , such a nice way to end the meal.

Absolute knockout of a Cajun seafood spot! Came to Boiling…read moreDaddy in Garden Grove with high expectations and somehow they still blew me away. From the moment we walked in, the energy was right -- staff greeted us warmly, got us seated quickly, and our server checked in at all the right moments without hovering. You can tell the team genuinely cares about the experience. Now let's talk about the food, because wow. We ordered the seafood combo with shrimp, snow crab legs, and crawfish in their signature "Boiling Daddy Special" sauce at medium spice. The sauce is the star here -- buttery, garlicky, with just enough heat to make your lips tingle without overpowering the natural sweetness of the seafood. Every bite of shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked, the crab legs cracked open clean and were loaded with sweet meat, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all that incredible sauce. We also got the Cajun fries on the side and they did NOT disappoint -- crispy, well-seasoned, and dangerously addictive. The portions are generous, the prices are fair for the quality, and yes, you WILL leave smelling like garlic butter. Worth it.

This place is so refreshing compared to your niche kicking crab or boiling crab…read more We mixed our own bag with the daddy sauce. 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!

Love, love, love their sushi rolls! The seared salmon sushi and their wagyu roll are delishhhhh…read more Their customer service is attentive and they're super helpful. Full disclosure: This market is a take out omakase/a la carte spot. If you wanna dine in at their small bar, RSVP is a Must. It is not a full dine in restaurant.

Came here because a coworker and I saw Sandra L. post some seriously delicious-looking pictures,…read moreand we had to check it out for ourselves. We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

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.

This is an unfair rating for this place but a fair review for my experience…read more I do not eat seafood. But I was with friends who insisted we come here as they wanted to eat at a seafood boil bag place. They told me there were non-seafood items I could enjoy. The interior is large with tons of seating. We came at lunchtime on a weekday and it was pretty quiet. We were served a complimentary basket of Cajun fries which were okay. The only non-seafood items were chicken wings or tenders. I went with the tenders. Plus a bottle of root beer. The tenders were okay. A little dry. I think there were five or six. They provided a small container of ranch for dipping which I ran out of before finishing. Our waiter was nowhere to be seen otherwise I'd have asked for more. My friends really enjoyed their seafood. My tenders were, at best, just "okay". I know it's not fair to rate a seafood boil place for chicken tenders but that's the hand I was dealt.
