King's Fish House - Orange
To create the ultimate seafood experience, we traveled down the highways and byways. We 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.
The pleasure of preparing and sharing seafood was simple and genuine, and it brought out the best in everyone. Often, we felt as if we’d been welcomed into somebody’s home.
That’s what King’s Fish House is all about — and we’ve tried to bring all of these ideas together into one single, spectacular place, filled with camaraderie and celebration, and the things we love best. Welcome to the House that Seafood Built!

First let me say that I realize we are still in the midst of COVID. However, on this particular Thursday evening, the restaurant was not busy at all, yet with my reservation and arriving early, I still sat for 20 minutes before I was greeted. And, that was after having to flag a waitstaff member down. There were many members present, they just didn’t seem to sense a need to offer water or another beverage upon my arrival, nor offer an apology for waiting. The food was delicious, as well as the outdoor seating.
Can not say enough good things about the meal and service,
We had a great time and it felt good to go back to dine-in dining again.
The Service and food is always great
Went for my birthday. I always have a good experience here. This time, the crab cakes tasted great but the fries were very dry, maybe a little over cooked. Other than that, the ambiance was nice and I felt comfortable with the barriers in place.
Service was poor. Food was as good as normal. Very disappointed 😞
Went for a date night, was quiet for a Saturday night although it was still early (6pm). Brought warm sour dough bread out and took drink order. Ordered crab cakes for appetizer and they were pretty good. We both had Alaskan Halibut special, came with two sides. It was cooked really well and we both enjoyed. Butter cake for dessert was amazing, highly recommend.
King's is the best place for seafood! Best prices for the best of the best.
Excellent Maine Lobster rolls.
The food is very good. The place is listed on Open Table as "$$". It really should be "SSS". Dinner for two with free flowing "house" wine was $150. before tip, which is not a medium priced meal. I didn't mind paying, as it was worth it. I just think the listing should be corrected.
The each dinners seemed mediocre and lacking in flavor. The crab cakes were tasty but small.
Everything was so great!! We had the Macadamia Crusted Halibut and the Butter Cake for dessert. So delicious!!
We will be back soon!
Food was excellent and the service was great. We enjoyed our the Macadamia crusted halibut and the Chilean sea bass.
Excellent as always. Took my "non-fish-eating" son-in-law there for the first time and he loved it. Excellent steak. A new fan for sure.
Easter Sunday this restaurant never fails in great tasting quality food! We both had South African lobster tails just yummy. Our guests had Sea Bass and King Crab legs so good. We started with tasty fried calamari. Lol didn’t need or want desert with all this tasty seafood
King's Fish house is a great place for lunch. Have been going there for over twenty years.
One of our favorite spots. Consistent food quality, service and love the bar drinks. Avocado crab toast is my absolute favorite. Also, the sand dabs are delish!
Always love my meals, the service and the ambience. It can get loud at times depending on the volume and guests. (Dinner Crowd versus Sports Crowd)
Our go to place for fine seafood. Great food, excellent service, nice ambience. Not inexpensive but worth it.
Staff are friendly! Outdoor seating is great! Food is good! Will definitely come back!
Food is always amazing! Love this place
We are locals and visit regularly. Food and service are always excellent!
Food, service, ambiance, decor is all great.
Great dinner before the Angels game. Quick service, nice atmosphere and good food. Easy access to Angel Stadium
I tried the Sushi for the first time. It was a very good. I highly recommend it.
Everything was great as usual
Food was fantastic and presented beautifully. Server was fantastic and we were not rushed through our meal. Kudos to their Operation people.
Seafood is always great here. Quality of service isn't consistent though service team is friendly.
The service, food abs drinks were great as always however there were repairs being done on the side of the building literally right next to where we were sitting. The workers were yelling (to hear each other) and using loud equipment. Seemed odd to be doing that while business was open and customers sitting right there!
Enjoyed the food very much. Asked to celebrate a birthday, completely ignored.
This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in orange county. I cannot say one negative thing about it. Food is awesome, The staff is awesome, I absolutely love their clam chowder. And the beet salad is is incredible. I love fried food and their platter that has shrimp, scallops and fish on it is absolutely amazing.
Pricy. Excellent service. Huge number of choices. Good oyster selection
I really enjoyed my evening dining on the patio. Our food was delicious. The best part was actually the service. What put my server, Maureen, over the top was that she recognized immediately that I was ordering low-fat, no carb food, and she immediately said, “Based on your order, I won’t bring you any bread.” Then at the end of the meal, she also said she wouldn’t offer the dessert menu. Way to go supporting me without me saying a word!!! She also brought out extra drink refills before we had to ask. I made sure she was tipped 25%.
We made a 7:00 pm Saturday outside seating reservation for 6 and were immediately seated when we arrived on time in their large nicely fenced outside patio. Our server quickly took our drink order, delivered them then took our main order. All our orders were delivered as we had ordered. The two granddaughters had sushi while three of us had the macadamia crusted Alaskan halibut (a favorite). Everything was excellent as usual and it was easy to talk outside on a fairly warm evening. The servers were excellent and we even had a complimentary dessert for an adult’s birthday. We come here often before an Anaheim Duck’s home game. Enjoy!
Always have a wonderful meal there.
The food is amazing except for the host refused to change our table. She gave us a table with no umbrella and exposed to the sun, when there is a lot of empty tables away from the sun.. The male waiter assigned to our table was the one who relocated us to a better table away from the sun. That was really nice of him. He made sure we are comfortable to our new table even though he lost us as his customer.
Delicious as usual. Everyone really enjoyed the meal.
O my gosh the meal was perfection! Our server went above and beyond. We appreciated every single thing she did to make our evening special.
Kings has a nice patio . The fish was very good and their wedge salad is tasty. Enjoy
Great service in all ways, wife & I are definitely going back, thank you!
You guys always deliver! I think you just might be my most favorite restaurant in Orange. Fav dish: Lemon caper Sand Dabs.
