King's Fish House - Long Beach

About the restaurant

Established in 1993, King’s Fish House is Long Beach’s choice for seafood. Located at the corner of E. Broadway and Pine Ave., 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.

The servers are very friendly and smile no matter how busy it is! The Recession menu is awesome for locals and has a few vegetarian and vegan options which is not very common for a Mexican restaurant or bar. Highly recommended!

Service was good, staff was very attentive, however the kitchen was slow, we were only given 90 minutes to eat but it took the kitchen almost 20 minutes before getting our first order. Our server did give us extra time to order the last round. Food wise, meat quality was good, however the seasoning is really salty, we had to wash the garlic shrimp with waster. Salad dressings are also way too salty, not sure why it is so salty now. Not sure if we will go back to Gyukaku, there are many other choices for similar price.

Cool location , only a few nice tables by the wall beach front otherwise patio tables inside. Overpriced I feel on the whole. Maybe a fun place to get a drink during the day. Rooftop was closed
