This place is located on the West side of Tempe Marketplace. Plenty of parking. Apparently the menu changes frequently. The wild salmon cake (see photo) was pretty good. Good that it was wild salmon rather than farmed or Atlantic salmon. The spicy tuna on crispy rice (see photo) was pretty good although the jalapeno slices were not very spicy. Also, Kabuki located in Tempe Marketplace as well has the same dish which is slightly better at a lower price ($13.50 vs $11.95). The walnuts and blue cheese salad and seared tuna salad were both done decently. The problem was with the rainbow roll which needed to be returned because it smelled bad, like old, not fresh fish and did not taste fresh. Also when we sent it back the staff did not ask if we wanted a replacement or something else instead. Therefore the person who ordered the rainbow roll went was not able to order anything else. read more

Food was good but service was lacking. Server took order was not seen again till we asked the manager for our bill. Not going to go back.

We came here for Valentine's (our third time here). It was so delicious! We ordered the salmon and bass, both were perfect. The Brussels sprouts were some of the best we have ever had. We also ordered the shrimp taquitos and the key lime pie. We were so pleased with the food! Our server, Nikki, was so on top of our orders and consistently checked in on us. Overall, great spot that's a good price and good food. Love the vibe and art on the walls! read more

Excellent food! Great service, ask for Nikki she is incredible at attention to every detail.

Great dinner for the whole family! Service time was average considering they were very busy.

Made reservations for 930pm and to our surprise we where told upson arrival that's they close at 10:00pm which is very weird that on Open table the website takes reservations up too 10:00pm. That possibly should be changed !!!!!! But never the less we where seated and our server was the manager and another server who where very nice and extremely accommodating.!!! we got two drinks, dark and stormy and a NYC sour both great!!! The food : Sour dough bread for the table New England clam chowder 3 out of 5 for taste mahi mahi with pasta 2out 5 for taste Sword fish with garlic mash and mixed carrots: 2out of 5 All of it was very bland and the platting for the sword fish wasn't appealing either. If it wasn't for the amazing service this would be a 0stats Ambiance was nice. They had a cute patio setting on the perimeter of the restaurant read more

Sorry to say, had to remove this place from our list of favorites. Unlikely we will be returning. Sunday evening, met 3 good friends here, expecting another solid seafood dinner. Decor is pleasant and service usually very good. Tonight I don't know what went wrong! Our server appeared to be knowledgeable and competent, in reality, not at all. The current menu advertised special is Dungeness crab. I asked server who highly recommended the King crab instead. Took their advice, ordered 1.25 lb for $120. Underwhelming plate arrived. What appeared to be less than 1 lb. Of leftover legs, a large baked potato and some rather dubious appearing carrots. Tried a few pieces of Crab from different parts. Tough, chewy, tasteless! Had my wife try some...said it tasted old. Carrots, large portion was repulsive. Oily, and heavily seasoned with some kind of garlic parmesan. Sounds good, but I can still taste the nastiness this morning. To wrap this up, server replaced my King with Dungeness which was ok. Not great. Everyone else was finished and seemed to enjoy their meals Mgr. Graciously removed the charge for my dinner. So, they did the right thing. I'd rather pay the price for excellent food and service, than get the second rate meal I had here. I don't want a response from Mgt on this review. Done. read more

As always Kings Fish House does not miss! I got the 1st Mate Shellfish platter and it was perfect. My wife got the 2 piece fish and chips and said it was pretty darn perfect. Service was fantastic. We had David as our server and his customer service was superb. He was stated he was in training and you wouldn't have even known. Highly Recommend this location to all seafood lovers. read more

This place is amazing. I have been to the Long Beach location. But good seafood in Arizona is hard to come by. The oysters were fresh, shucked right there and the shrimp appetizer was so good. Had a little heat. I can't wait to come back! We sat at the bar and everyone working was so welcoming and the conversations flowed. Finally, a good place with amazing staff! read more

I'm upgrading my review from last time. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I started with the prawn taquitos and then had crab cakes and fries. Was so in the mood for it. It did not disappoint. My companion had oysters to begin with and a poke appetizer. He enjoyed it very much. Our waitress was super friendly and nice so much so that we asked to see the manager sing her praises.was a glorious day to sit on the patio! read more

Steven was amazing. Best service and food. He was gracious and helpful. I would definitely come back and ask for Steven.

Had a nice dinner at Kings Fish House at Tempe marketplace. The ambiance was like a typical seafood restaurant nothing special. I ordered the N'awlins Bbq Shrimp entree and it was really good just very rich!! We also got the Halibut, Sand Dabs, and the Blackened Ono Sandwich! Everyone really enjoyed their meal. My Mother in Law loved the Ono Sandwich so much that she went back the next weekend and ordered it again! I thought my husbands Halibut portion was pretty small though. It's pretty expensive and no happy hour so perfect for a special occasion;) read more

We've been to King's Fish House in Carlsbad, CA and wanted to try the one in Tempe. I'm glad we did! Great hostess and waitress service, very friendly. My husband had the Louie salad and I had a burger. We also shared shrimp taquitos. Everything was delicious, my burger especially was juicily satisfying -cooked to perfection! read more

Honestly one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Tempe! The oysters are delicious, reasonably priced, and fresh. The calm chowder is perfectly balanced and the bartender even let us try a raw scallop on the house (another table ordered it and we were curious) Service and food are great! read more

My aunts and I were in the area shopping and decided to give this place a try! It was pretty good, we all ordered something different so that we could try a bit of everything. I had the crab cakes, my aunts had sushi and fish which were both pretty tasty. I didn't try their drinks but they both said they were tasty. My aunt loved the place so much she went back a second time with her sister. Great eats! read more

King's Fish House - Tempe 35 S McClintock Dr., Tempe AZ 85288 (Tempe Marketplace) October 8, 2022 Saturday - 5 PM reservations for dinner 3 Adults Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - We have family visiting from out of state. We let her pick the type of food for dinner, and Yelp helped me find King's. Atmosphere - I am new to the PHX area. King's is located in a mall that feels very new. King's itself feels like you are stepping back in time, post WWII. Big have circle booths fill the place. The wood tones enhance the old school vibe. Food Appetizer - My wife ordered half dozen Fanny Bay oysters. I stole one, it was delicious. Drink - The beer menu did not excite me but I reviewed the cocktails. I love tequila and saw the Agave Sting. Do not worry it does not leave a mark when it stings. Blanco tequila, lime, jalapeno slice floating on top, with pineapple and basil. All in an ancho chili salted rimmed glass. Dang that drink went down to easy. Dinner - I saw fresh tuna and I was hooked. The fish dinners come with two sides, the deep fried Brussels sprouts were perfectly caramelized and I had large baked potato. My Yellowfin Tuna was perfectly seared. Those four medallions were amazing, I could have had another four. Service - We arrived early, did not think it was going to be an issue. The hostess found us in the system and sat us. Our waitress was great. The food came out of the kitchen fast and everything was enjoyed. Future - Yes. read more

Very nice meal at our first visit to King's. Hafeez was an attentive and knowledgeable server. Big menu, and we have liked to try a bunch of the appetizers and sushi, but we just weren't that hungry. New England clam chowder was delicious. I had the two lobster tails - priciest thing on the menu, but generously sized and perfectly cooked and presented. My wife had the scallop and shrimp combo and enjoyed her meal. The 4 different sides we had were very nice. Very good Key Line pie (although we had to ask for more whipped cream) and the butter cake was good. All in all a solid meal; not fancy but well executed and the staff is great. read more

Delicious food, OUTSTANDING service, and fantastic patio! Lorenzo took exceptional care of us, despite our many special needs! We started in the dining room where he shared the specials and the highlights of the menu. Unfortunately, a member of our party (my seriously beyond sweet mother in law) has a sensitivity to perfume and Lorenzo lead a team to a new table on the patio. I applaud the restaurant for their understanding and Lorenzo's quick response to this unique challenge. Fresh oyster selection was extensive and I loved my crab cake and salad. Martini was chilled to perfection and just dirty enough. Hubby said steak was perfectly cooked and chowder excellent. Big shout out to the team - ESPECIALLY LORENZO - for a phenomenal Mother's Day experience. If you're making a reservation, ask for him by name! In today's restaurant climate where service can be hit or miss (often at the same restaurant) spare yourself the risk of waiter roulette and request a table with Lorenzo! read more

I've been to King's twice now and both times were great. The first time I was with my family and we tried a little bit of everything. The calamari and wings were among our favorites, and my husband loved his soft shell crab. The kids had fish and chips and fries shrimp which were really yummy. My kids also enjoyed seeing the lobster tank and one of the servers even took one out so they could get a closer look! My second visit was with a group of friends. There's a yummy strawberry vodka drink which was my favorite. Again we ordered so many different things but the sushi, sea bass, salmon, and butter cake stood out. Love the food and the service is always excellent! read more

Had a delicious dinner at King's Fish House. The fish is fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is excellent. The icing on the cake is when the manager stopped by to see how our meal was and addressed my husband by his name. Don't get that kind of service much anymore. Highly recommend this restaurant for seafood! read more

Tried this restaurant out for wedding anniversary dinner. It was our first time and we were pleased. The waiter was very nice and attentive. The prices are high for the value and presentation of the course, in my opinion. Overall, I it was a nice evening. We were seated on the bar area and the windows were open and the ambiance was great. Pros: The grilled zucchini and grilled shrimp were delicious. The white again, very attentive and super nice. Cons: The "garlic" mashed potatoes didn't really taste like it had garlic. There was more batter than fish on the fish and chips. read more

Took my gf on a date night and this was the restaurant I decided to try. Was instantly sold when I saw they had trout on the menu. The New England clam chowder was really close to home too. Hard to find it that close here in AZ! The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. The decor of the restaurant was very nice. I loved seeing the various fish mounted to the walls and different areas with the type of fish printed nearby so I knew what I was looking at. I'm not much of an oyster fan but the did have a great looking oyster bar. This is a place I will surely come back to read more

A delicious dinner before a show at Gammage. We got the N'Awlins BBQ shrimp for an appetizer and it was delicious. Then my husband and I both had the blackened Mahi Mahi. It was spicy and yummy. The garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were so good. My daughter ordered buffalo wings for her meal and the buffalo sauce was very good as well. I dipped my brussel sprouts in her blue cheese....so good. read more

The reason this place gets 5 stars is absolutely for the service!!! I've been here several times and have ended up with the same waiter (Stephen) and he's amazing! Makes the best cocktails and always very attentive and caring when it comes to your time, business, and order. The establishment is always very clean and friendly. The oysters are always fresh and the menu changes so you get to experience the sea without being nearby. If you're a big oyster fan, this the best and freshest variation selection on the east side! Most other places offer farmed blue points and it just hits different. They make the best jalapeños relish and mignonette sauce. I also love the flaky salt and variety of hot sauces they offer. My personal recommendation is the Cadillac margarita... I've very picky about my margaritas and it's been extremely consistent service every time. They're soooo good! The bread is always hot and fresh and no complaints from me. If you're looking for fresh water oysters in the east valley with great service, please visit Stephen in the bar area of Kings table. You won't be disappointed! read more

If you're looking for delicious seafood this place is a must. I wish I would have found them sooner! I'll start out by saying our service was phenomenal. Ryan was incredible, so knowledgeable and helpful in providing guidance on what to order. We ended up going with the traditional fish and chips, but crusted sea bass and clams in white sauce. If you enjoy sea bass this was a nice twist on your traditional fish. My favorite was the clams as it had a little spice to it. They offer a variety of items: raw bar, cooked fish special, sandwiches, salads and fried options. read more

Had dinner the other night at King's Fish House in Tempe. The staff was friendly and effecient ... Timber was the best! The place was spotless, with a very nice atmosphere. The food was great. We started off with the 1st Mate platter, which was fresh and delicious. I had the shrimp and scallops and my girlfriend had the Cobb Salad, which was huge! Everything was prepared perfectly and presented very nicely. We even had the Key Lime pie ... which was the bomb! read more

An excellent restaurant to enjoy seafood and it transformed me into the seaside; where the seafood is fresh. My fave to order is the oyster sampler and to share with family members. I've tried several dishes, but I like the Chilean Sea Bass the most. It melts like butter when eaten. The quality of the food is exceptional. The wait staff is very tentative, and the service is great. This place is unique, I like the eclectic decor about fishing. It's the best place to eat seafood. read more

This is a hardworking and very skilled group of servers. May I also mention that the menu changes to reflect the freshness of the fish. The restaurant doesn't have the distinct fish smell, thus lending itself to the thought - the product is fresh. I started with the chilled seafood platter - pretty epically delicious and the presentation was quite nice. The oysters... They're as fresh as they get. Please come here for all of your oyster cravings. Next the Parmesan Sole. Perfectly cooked and that butter ... oh so rich and delicious. Okay so you know how you get sides and they might be a throw away? Dude... the crispy brussel sprouts - I could have eaten these all day and the garlic mashed potatoes were the perfect amount of seasoning and the texture was spot on. Very pleased. Check them out and be impressed. They manage to serve a high end but very welcoming and easy going experience. read more

The oyster sampler was a real treat. Fresh and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the Nawlins Shrimp. The miso yaki sea bass had an odd taste to the sauce like burnt teriyaki. I wasn't a fan. But Hubby's tuna melt was a hit. I think I'll order that next time. Our server was great but I think there were times she forgot about us because we were outside. Other than those few hiccups I would've given it a 5. We will go back. read more

King's Fish House responded to my last review of them, which was not a very good review to say the least. I have to now give credit, where credit is due. I was first contacted by Michelle and after a couple of communications she reached out to her corporate office to her credit and this engaged an entire team of collaborators, from the person that initially served our bread that night up to district and corporate employees. We were invited to try their restaurant again and we accepted their invitation to dine in once again. We personally met Michelle, Trevor, and our Server (Timber). We also met another person that we assumed was management who was mainly stationed at the hostess desk, and to top it off we met Jenny who served us the bread on our first visit. We were concerned that our experience would be awkward with overly accommodating us. This was not the case at all. We met all of these team members and they made us feel very comfortable. They were THE MOST pleasant, warm, and inviting group of people we had ever met. We enjoyed their brief introductions, and professional and polished demeanors. I have to say that their collaboration and team work amongst themselves were far above stellar, and very impressive. Now! With that said. Lets talk about dinner service and the food! My wife ordered from the grill side menu, the "Shrimp and Scallop Combo." She also ordered the baked potato and a mixed green salad. Everything was beyond perfection! Her shrimp and her scallops were THE BEST she and I had ever tasted. It came with a buttered, slightly garlic sauce to dip the shrimp and after the first taste I would have to say that it was pure joy! Her salad was fresh and the baked potato was crusted with salt and was superb! She was soooo happy and enjoyed her entire meal immensely! As for my meal. Once I tasted a little of her food I was eagerly anticipating how my meal would turn out. So, I ordered the "King's Combo Platter." They hit this dish out of the ballpark as well. The fried beer battered fish, fried scallops, and fried shrimp were simply amazing. I also ordered a mixed green salad, a baked potato and the King's Spicy Seafood Chowder! Every item was prepared with precision execution! By the way, the chowder was savory and delicious. We also ordered two cocktails. Long Island Ice Teas. Both were, you guessed it! Amazing... We savored every bite and enjoyed the top notched service that we so much desired and totally missed from our initial visit. At the end of the night we were left with an everlasting most positive dining experience that was all due to the the King's Fish House staff working like a well oiled machine in accommodating our dining experience. They proved that they are very, very, serious about providing their customers with the best dining experience possible, and when they fall short they are more than willing to make sure that they make it right. I would describe this team as tenacious, professional, intentional, smooth, personable, as well as delightful. To all of you that were involved. Please take a bow.... thank you for a superb experience and we can't wait to come back and enjoy your wonderful food and service once again. Roderick and Cassandra read more

Decent, but certainly not the best seafood in the desert. I really thought that the food would be better. The portions were disappointing as well. read more

We have been wanting to try this place. Went in today super early (12pm) and no reservations needed nor wait in line. We all ordered fish...as you probably should here. We were all satisfied. We had the oyster sampler, i tried the wild sea bass, others had trout, catfish and tilapia. All off the grill and we literally cleaned our plates-veggies included. If you are in the mood for fish- check this place out. Price was average and slightly cheaper than i anticipated. We paid under $200 for 4 adults and 1 child (a child who eats sushi ), plus an appetizer and 0 alcohol. read more

This busy yet efficient restaurant made "miso" happy! Visiting friends in AZ, they took us out for dinner and a concert! King's Fish House was located in a mall, but once inside it felt warm and inviting. Despite being a large space filled with many customers, our table was far enough away from other tables to make it seem quite roomy and cozy. (Tables too close together is a pet peeve of mine.) Once seated, we were greeted with a cool server with a funky style and a wry sense of humor. She was not only witty, but she was professional and accommodating. We clicked right away and she amused us with her straight forward attitude and remarks. She wasn't "smiley", but she was sharp and experienced. I wish I could remember her name... oh well. Our drinks came out super fast! I ordered the Pimm's Cup, which I never had before, but it was delish and refreshing! The drinks were put on these cocktail napkins with cute puns on them. Nice touch. The food came out rather quickly and the entrées were delivered with lovely presentations. Some of my table mates ordered the miso soup and sushi. They loved the California rolls. Other orders included the Beer battered fish and chips, the Grilled wild swordfish tacos, and the Macadamia nut crusted wild Alaskan halibut. I ordered the delicious Roasted Beet Salad with arugula and goat cheese. Everyone at our table was completely satisfied with their meals. I appreciated the diversity and complexity of the menu. This place is mer-made for seafood enthusiasts. But truly their menu has something for everyone, seafood lovers, meat eaters and vegetarians alike! King's Fish House, although being a chain, knows how to make the dining experience personal and make their customers feel like royalty. It's pricey, so expect to pay a pirate's ransom, but for quality, quantity & service, King's is aces! read more
