About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Established in 1997, King’s Fish House is Laguna Hills’ choice for seafood. Located near the Laguna Hills Mall, 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.

    Celebrated wife’s 74th birthday. Although birthday not recognized, food and service were excellent, as usual. Edgar was great server, and catered well to our needs. Lobster tails were excellent.

    Great service and very good food. However, the garlic mashed potatoes were terrible. They had the appearance and taste like boxed mash potatoes. Prior to this visit we loved their mashed potatoes, but something went wrong in the kitchen that night. The corn is right off the cob and very delicious. Bread pudding was excellent.

    We went for my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner and had a great experience. We had a 5 o’clock reservation and although it was a full house we were seated almost immediately at a nice big table. The food was great, service all around was pleasant and our server Sean was a delight. She on top of everything and made sure everyone had everything the needed the whole time. Looking forward to our next visit!

    This was by far the worst service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. I was there for over an hour and a half, and they still didn’t bring out one of the simplest items on their menu. When I asked the server about it, he said he was aware and would check—but then disappeared for another 20 minutes. When I finally asked for the check, he didn’t even remember that part of my order had never arrived. I had to remind him again, and his response was simply that I needed to wait even longer. I’m extremely disappointed. This level of service is unacceptable and I won’t be recommending this place to any of my friends—and honestly, I wish I could warn every stranger too.

    Hello Paul, I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience with us this past Sunday on Mother’s Day. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the level of service you received—it clearly did not reflect the standards we hold ourselves to. It’s disappointing and frankly unacceptable that we fell short in delivering the quality of care and hospitality you—and all our guests—deserve. Your feedback is invaluable, and It gives us the opportunity to address these concerns directly and ensure this doesn’t happen again. I would greatly appreciate the chance to speak with you and learn more about your visit and try to make this right for you. If you’re open to it, please let me know a convenient time for a phone call. I look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Darryl File Senior Manager

    We always have a nice experience at King,s Fish for many years as it relates to food quality, service and price value. For this Mother’s Day we needed a special booth location close to the restrooms due to my wife’s mobile due to a hip procedure. Days before our dining a representative called and confirmed they had reserved the optimal booth location for us. We had a short wait when we arrived and sure enough the location was the best. As expected the food and service was great.

    The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the drinks were well made. My only suggestion is to double the number of disabled parking spaces.

    Because my mother has a hard time walking we parked on the back side by In n out and walked in to the patio. There was an empty booth and because our res was at that time and it was for an outside booth I sat her down there. I told the manager and he was very polite and let the front desk know. I appreciate how we were treated along with the new waiter, Alberto who was very quick and friendly.

    Kings Fish House on Mother's Day should certainly be expected to be busy, and it was. But given this scenario we were seated in a reasonable time even though we had a reservation (10 min wait, I believe). The booth was in a corner which helped cut down on the noise level, but it was moderately loud (again, to be expected). The ambiance is good as well as the food. The service was excellent. We had a great time and look forward to returning sometime again soon.
