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.Our generous corkage program for each table: the first 750mL bottle is complimentary, and each additional 750mL bottle is $25.

    Everything was an absolute 10/10! I highly recommend this place—it never misses! This was my second time here, and I absolutely love this location. The customer service is always great, and the food was amazing as well. And let’s talk about my waiter! I unfortunately didn’t get his name, but we were seated in the outside area, and he was taking care of almost all of us. He did such an amazing job! He was very kind, respectful, attentive, and truly on top of everything. I have nothing but good things to say about him. His service honestly made me want to keep coming back even more!

    Excellent steak and a great overall dining experience. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and professional. Definitely one of the best steak experiences I had in Irvine. Highly recommended!

    I went to Kings for a last minute dinner and drinks. We sat outside so the noise level was minimal. Our server Rudy was slammed because it was busy but, he still took good care of us. Kings is my go too spot because the restaurant is comfortable, the food and service are always excellent. I highly recommend this establishment.
