About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Established in 2000, King’s Fish House is San Diego’s choice for seafood. Located in Mission Valley on Camino De La Reina, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.

We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.

Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.

    A great birthday celebration dinner at Kings! We sat with one of our all time favorite servers, Ken, and he took great care of us. The food was fantastic and everything was cooked perfectly. Kings is one of our favorites!

    I came here for the first time for my birthday and was very impressed.. Everyone is so polite and nice and very knowledgeable. I will be back. If I have to critique anything it would be the portion sizes compared to the price. I do understand that everything is more expensive now I just thought that for the amount we paid for out dinners that we would of received more food..

    We were greeted with a warn smile and seated within a few minutes. Our Sever, Leo, was great! Fantastic. He seemed to love serving us and I always had iced tea, which is a huge plus. We had the jmbo shrimp cocktail to start and they were meaty and plump. I had the Nawlins BBQ shrimp and it was amazing. Spicy and in kind of a broth. The halibut was a bit overcooked, but tasty, The manager stopped by and we let him know about the cook on the halibut. No need for a new piece as it tasted great, just a little over as they say. The Key Lime pie was yummuy and a good portion for two people. All in all a very nice dinner and a great evening was had.

    Had a business luncheon, overall value was great. Some items fantastic, some average. Server was hit and miss. Had to wait to ask for items needed a little longer than should.

    I ordered the whole fish. It was very dry, no flavor and full of tiny little bones that was not edible. We come here often, but this time it was not up to par.  I order St. James oysters they were tiny and not much inside the shelves. nobody checked on our table and no refills on our drinks. Could’ve been because it was Father’s Day and they were very busy. Of all the times we’ve gone this was the most disappointing on a normal day. I would’ve given them 100% 10 poi ts

    We go here about 3 or 4 times a year. The food is always excellent and the price is resonable. Our waiter was very attentive and the food arrived promptly.

    5 pm Friday dinner for 2. Great time to get personal service and timely food prep. Oyster to start were exceptional. Entree halibut was 1 1/2 inch thick steak, perfectly prepared and served with two sides. Grilled shrimp entree was like eating king prawn size shrimp. Price point was reasonable. Perfect date.
