About the restaurant

Established in 1998, King’s Fish House is Orange’s choice for seafood. Located at the Stadium Promenade and minutes away from Angels Stadium and the Honda Center, 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.

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.

We always enjoy Kings! All locations are great, but we prefer the one in Orange. Service is always fantastic and we love the ambience. Very conveniently located for the many people that we gather with. We often celebrate, birthdays and anniversaries there, everyone enjoys it so much.

It was our first time to dine at this restaurant and it was an awesome experience! We sat at one of the high tops by the bar, and all the bartenders were attentive, friendly and spot on! Lychee martini is definitely one of the best, garlic noodles and steak on the salt block are must haves!

Established in 2006, King’s Fish House is Huntington Beach’s choice for seafood. Located at Bella Terra, 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.

Our three meals were very fresh and prepared with healthy ingredients. We felt great afterwards! Both seafood bass dishes were unique and very good. The restaurant is lively and the outdoor seating is sheltered from all the elements of a busy exterior. They have done a beautiful job with Brea Mall thus far. We love to walk so parking away from the new outside mall and strolling through the mall was fun, especially with the holiday decorations! Our server and manager were attentive and friendly. This was a great dining experience.

We had a very nice lunch here and I like my jambalaya. Friendly service and a nice place for a causal lunch or dinner with a good selection of seafood that is well prepared.

My wife and I dinned at Roy’s for the first time last night. From start to finish we had a great time. Our waiter Q was very helpful, he definitely knew everything about the menu. We both had fish and were very pleased, it was fresh and cooked to perfection. partway through our meal Q asked if we were going to have dessert because it took 20 minutes to make. We declined because my wife and I were getting filled up on the wonderful meal. We had finished and they were just cleaning off the last dishes on the table and we were finishing our drinks when Q walked up and gave us a free dessert. He went ahead and ordered it and brought it out to our table with a candle on the plate, it also said “Happy Birthday” written in chocolate sauce. We were both surprised when we saw it and we were very pleased when we tasted it. It was incredible.
