• Seafood • Laguna Hills / Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch
Booked 50 times today
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.

    I have been to this restaurant at least five times over the last few years, and I’ve had a lovely experience every single time. My most recent visit was for my birthday dinner with a friend, and we absolutely enjoyed our time at this restaurant. Appetizers: we got the chicken empanadas and shrimp empanadas & both were good. The chicken empanadas are always my favorite—they are so good and the habanero ketchup is really tasty. I get it every single time I go there. For the entrées, we tried the rum pepper shrimp, and my friend had the plantain crusted chicken. Both really good and we enjoyed our meals. For the drinks, we got the piña coladas, and another rum drink & both were really good! Our server was kind enough to put my small cake that I brought to dinner in the fridge & bring it out for us when it was time for dessert. I would absolutely go back again for dinner or even just for drinks. The ambience is gorgeous & feels very romantic. This place is perfect for (solo) dates and large parties alike. I really love sitting in their booths. They also offer mini complimentary glasses of champagne when you check in. Overall, 10/10 every time!
