Seafood

Established in 2000, King’s Fish House is San Diego’s choice for seafood. Located in Mission Valley on Camino De La Reina, 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.

    We had a very nice booth and spent time talking and catching up. We did not feel rushed, the server continued to check in on us. Ordered wine and the simple salad, it was delicious! The dressing was so tasty! Also ordered the Lasagna, it was rich and creamy. Such wonderful food!! I would highly recommend and dine here often.

    We had a rough start to our dinner... right before we were sat the restaurant's system went down and we had to wait about an hour. The good news was that once it was back up and running, the place had cleared out pretty well and we were sat right away. Allison was our server and she was amazing. The star of the show was Paul, our Chef. An absolute legend of a chef and he made the evening super enjoyable. Allison kept our drinks full and checked on us frequently. What started as a rough dinner experience ended up being one of our best Benihana meals ever! Oh, and kudos to the ladies at the host station... they did a great job keeping everyone informed on the progress and handled angry customers well.

    This was my first time to this location in Mission Valley. Love it! The servers were outstanding (thank you Ken) and the food was great. Recommend the Thai Shrimp salad, the pumpkin donuts, and white pizza.We sat outside and the tables were spacious and not cramped at all. They had shade sails which reduced the sun exposure. Parking is a little challengin but they have a valet if you prefer to avoid waiting for a spot. Will definitely we back again.

    Not very busy tonight. The food was good as usual. The server Alexis acted like she didn't want to be there. I get it it's the holidays but atleast make an attempted to be nice. Didn't check on the table once. Had to ask other servers for water, additional roll ups. I'd eat here again, with the hopes of not getting her as our server again.
