Just AMAZING ! The service, care, and food was top notch! I recommended that if you are in Tempe it's a must stop for dinner. A big shout out to Michelle the GM and her amazing staff. They were on top of everything, knowledgeable, attentive and provided exceptional service. Everything from the tasty starters, main course and deserts were outstanding. Give it a try - you will enjoy! and thank you for a wonderful dining experience! Kevin Selander, Saint Paul,MN read more

Great meal at King's Fish House. My husband had the Yellow Tail grilled entree with brussel sprouts and baked potato and I had the Yellow Tail Sashimi appetizer. Everything nicely prepared and flavorful. I was a little nervous ordering the octopus appetizer for my entree as it's new to the menu and I'm thinking "what's a grilled octopus doing in a place like this." Well, was I pleasantly surprised. Right up there with the best of them. The accompaniment was really good too, the eggplant, tomatoes, olives and garlic. Service was spot on and the prices are reasonable. read more

We haven't been to this restaurant in several years, but decided to visit tonight since my husband really likes seafood. Well times have certainly changed since our last meal there. Prices are high and the portions are average. My husband enjoyed his fish entree, but honestly I've had better fish and chips with coleslaw for far less money, $28.50 for two pieces at this establishment. The service was also somewhat slow since it was not that busy at the time we dined. I completely understand about the high costs of food, labor and lease costs involved in running a restaurant. We enjoy dining out to a few favorite places. However, King's Fish House will not be on this list. We cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. read more

Interesting to say the least first the hostess in the front who sits you super energetic and friendly. She sat is and told who our waitress would be.. waitress came right away to get our drinks and bring us bread. When she came back apparently she was not our waitress and someone else took over although she did apologize for the mix up.. the new waitress not to friendly seemed a little irritated she had to serve us that was our impression. She came to take our order and we needed a little more time yah she gave us a lot of time to much. She took the order and specifically asked me if I wanted a loaded baked potato and said no butter only.. when she took our order we had already ate our bread she didn't offer to bring more.. so while we waited for our food unfortunately we had already ate our bread as you can see on the pic it was not that big we had 2 slices each.. but it was really good. She brought out food with a loaded backed potato I can't stand sour cream . And it is dark so you really can't tell if it butter or sour cream both in little circles so I mixed it up and it was gross I ate the part the had the least because I was hungry. The fish was good but not what I expected so I left half of my plate by the time she came back to bring us the check we had to track her down for something else so I was not about to send my food back.. she didn't even ask after seen half of my plate uneaten if everything was on or if I wanted to take it home.. so one plate was eaten and the other left.. no I will not be coming back I wanted to post her name but I hope she was just having a bad day.... read more

Wow this place was amazing !!! I had the macadamia crusted halibut and the wife had the fish and chips. All excellent !!!! Our server was Steven and he was great !!!! Clam chowder and the blue cheese wedge was awesome also !!! read more

It's been a while since I've been to this restaurant and it was great to be back! I love a restaurant whose staff takes food allergies seriously and makes recommendations based on that. We were with a big group in the private room and received excellent service from Jill and Marissa. I had the lemon nut crusted sea bass and it was buttery good. I enjoyed the carrots and a side salad. Sadly I was too full for dessert, because I love a good key lime pie! read more

We have been here many times, we have always been extremely happy. Except last Friday! As everyone knows I have a service animal. We always feed him when we dine out. There are some people who have no idea what it is like to need this kind of help. The bartender was the server (tall older man, Stephen). We ordered appetizers, drinks, dinner, and desert. When ordering we ordered salmon for my service animal al la carte. We were charged for the whole dinner (we have eaten here before many times), when questioned the server stated they don't have prices for the salmon separate. I don't like being cheated/overcharges, we did not order the meal. BEWARE, DO NOT EAT HERE THEY WILL CHEAT/OVERCHARGE YOU. read more

I had high expectations coming in, as I heard from a few friends that this place was good. However, the server seemed upset that our table had not ordered alcoholic beverages and treated us poorly after we placed our drink orders. We started with the oyster sampler, which was nice. The server recommended a couple of things on the menu--of course, they were the most expensive items. When we chose not to order them, he again seemed upset with us. My clam linguini was gritty; every bite of clam was unpleasant. Additionally, the grilled fish was overcooked and dry. I will not be returning. read more

First stop when I landed and oh it was so good! My friend knew I love fresh seafood! It was early afternoon so it was not busy and we enjoyed a relaxing late lunch! The oyster we just fresh and so tasty I picked several kinds and I must admit I was enjoying and loved every bite. The macadamia nut crusted halibut was the star of the show. That dessert made my whole day lovely a creamy read more

The night I went it was weirdly busy but the staff was still very attentive. The hostess said it's generally not very busy, and even on this busy night there was no wait to get a table. The inside is very large and clean, and the dress vibes are casual. It is located in Tempe Marketplace so it wasn't too difficult to find parking I got the BBQ shrimp, I tried it here years ago and it tastes exactly the same. I appreciate that kind of consistency. I recommend asking for extra fresh sourdough it's better for dipping into the sauce than the toasted sourdough that it comes with. I also got the seafood chowder which I did not like at all. It isn't cream based like I expected and it's very fishy. But I told them immediately and they took it back and took it off my bill, no problem. The Brussels sprouts were very nice and crispy and tart though. My friend got the salmon, our lovely waitress recommended getting it blackened which my friend really enjoyed. read more

Wish we had a King's Fish House in our side of town in Surprise. But we like KFH so much we drive all the way to the Tempe location, take our aunt & friends with us too. Our favorite location is the one in Laguna Hills, CA. We eat there every year on our beat-the-heat getaway each July. The seafood selections are plentiful, as are the portions. Service is excellent as well. Love the clam chowder! read more

Eating seafood in the desert will never cease to amuse me though it's been rightly pointed out that the ocean isn't that far away, so for a group dinner we opted for King's Fish House. Making reservations for a large party was a super breeze as I was able to book through Open Table. I could even decide whether we wanted inside or out and I selected outside. I figured even tho it was getting cold by Phoenix standards most of the team was from much colder locations and it would be comfortable. It completely was! The patio was very nice, it was bright even when the sun set, and it was very comfortable. The menu has a wide selection of dishes and be seen online. Our waitress told us which items were seasonal and which were favorites that would never leave. I opted for the Sautéed N'Awlins BBQ Shrimp, a half dozen oysters, and the Herbalist cocktail. The oysters were great. Deep cups, fresh, and wonderful. They had a nice variety as well! I had it in my head that "N'Awlins" indicated that the sauce would have a kick but no such luck. The sauce was a pleasant soft sauce that gave a bit of citrus brightness but didn't make me want more. The rice was a bit dry but mixed with the sauce it was much better. The shrimp, tho, were perfectly cooked as I could easily cut them with a fork. The Herbalist was another highlight. It was a gin, basil, mint, and lime - very easy to drink, bright, delicious drink. Everyone who had a cocktail raved how good they were. Our waitress was fantastic. She knew the menu comprehensively, made great recommendations, stopped by just enough, and had us all laughing several times over. She made the restaurant very warm and welcoming. I really enjoyed my time here! read more

Very...very disappointed. My wife and I have come here at least 6x a year, and based on this experience, i don't believe we will be coming back. Typically, I order the Miso Seabass. I wanted to try something different this time so I ordered the cioppino. I have had cioppino many times at different restaurants and this was by far the worst. The broth was thicker than it should have been. It appeared as if it was reduced down until it was too thick, or it was at the bottom of the pot. I received 1 (one) clam that was very small, 7 mussel shells with 4 only having mussels in them, 2 prawns, a small piece of fish which was very tough, and the crab was insulting at this point. The crab looked like it had been boiled until the shell became soft. The lump meat area was dark/gray/black, and the meat in the extremely small legs was almost disintegrated. On top of this, I asked for a small side of rice and it was an additional $6.50. I am very displeased...I woke up this still upset about this experience. My wife's meal was okay. She had the grilled shrimp and scallops. The scallops were hard on the outside from being i eat cooked and somewhat chewy in the center. The shrimp was good. She ordered a side of Brussels sprouts which were completely burnt to the point where she couldn't eat it. The bill was $105 after tip and we didn't drink any alcohol (only water), no dessert, or anything additional. I would have been happy with half the price. Again, I don't typically leave such reviews but I am very disappointed with this experience and I'm not sure if I will come again. I will say our waitress Jill was very attentive and helpful, but she was i able to fix our meals. I've had good experiences in the past but this wasn't acceptable by any means. This restaurant needs to do better. read more

This is right in the heart of Tempe Marketplace. Went there Friday night, no reservations, waited about 30 minutes for a table. It was packed. Our server, Timber, was outstanding- very friendly, attentive, and communicative. We started with the crab cakes and wedge salad. Both were delicious. I swapped the blue cheese dressing for their chipotle ranch, and it was very good. I actually ordered another wedge to go, it was that good. My friend got the chowder and said it was delicious. I ordered the Macadamia nut crusted Halibut, and chose Flash-Fried Cauliflower with tahini sauce, and Yukon mashed as my sides. Not a very colorful presentation and totally my fault. I was actually going to just order a few of their sides because they all sounded really good. This was not the best fish dish...was very greasy and the tahini sauce on the cauliflower was almost like a very thick yogurt. The mashed potatoes had a weird consistency. They were nice enough to take that dish off the bill as I hardly touched it. The fish & chips were perfectly cooked, nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The mac & cheese was perfectly cooked as well. I will definitely come back, and try some other things, because everything else was great. And I will definitely be back for that wedge salad. read more

We were craving for seafood especially lobster tails! I found this place with great variety of seafood and offered cold water lobster tails so we decided to go. It was busy at all on a Thursday night. Service was good. We ordered raw oysters, clams and scallops as appetizer, they were fresh and delightful! King crab and lobster tails were good but overpriced... lobster tails were bit overcooked. Overall the menu prices are pretty high, I would only go back on special occasions maybe. read more

I enjoyed my dinner so much at this location that I hope King's Fish House back home ( San Diego) can measure up. This was my first time at the King's Fish House franchise and I was highly impressed, my waitress and hostess were so bubbly, I instantly became optimistic about the restaurant. I'm glad to write that the food matched the energy. Everything on the menu looked so appetizing,it was hard to narrow it down. For apps, I had the clam chowder and shrimp taquitos. The clam chowder was tasty. The shrimp taquitos were the only disappointment during this entire dinner , they fell flat but the presentation was gorgeous. For the main course, me and my partner had the macadamia crusted halibut and Parmesan crusted sand dabs . The fish tasted fresh and was accompanied lovely by the delicious crust and sauces and our sides were cooked to perfection. I'm sad I was too full to even attempt at dessert. I highly recommend giving this place a try. The restaurant is quite spacious, decorated beautifully and the bathrooms were spacious and very clean, now that's a bonus, we don't see often , even in the fancier restaurants. Once again, the food is delicious and to be paired with a bubbly and professional staff is really the cherry on top! Give this place a try! :) read more

Went back to King's last night for a date night dinner. They were accommodating and the food was great. Had to remove one Star for the service. Don't get me wrong the waitress tried but was overloaded with how many tables they gave her. This meant slow service and empty drink cups. Honestly I meant to order a drink for myself but she walked away after getting my wife's drink order, so I said I guess I'll just stick to the water. The price of the food here is a little in the higher side but it is so hard to find quality seafood in Arizona. I do have to admit the calamari left a greasy puddle in the plate it came in which was not pleasant. read more

Took the family to dinner last night. The restaurant gets 5 stars because they have the best selection of oysters, presented very well and with good accompaniments. Last night they had 8 different types both Pacific and Atlantic (and their menu separates them that way). Staff extremely helpful, even quick to adjust for a minor mix-up. Berry Smash mocktail was delicious, clam chowder soup was amazing. Tuna confit 'melt' wasnt melty enough, but since it was proper tuna I wasn't too disappointed. Ive eaten here many times, the selection of seafood is the best around. read more

More 3.5 stars but will lean 4. Excellent: scallops, shrimp, whiskey sour Good: service, fish (bit mushy beer battered) Not so good: coleslaw like why even bother. Clam chowder was very salty. read more

Food good, service great, price ok and ambiance ok. We had a late lunch/early dinner at King's on Saturday. 4:30pm was an odd time so restaurant was mostly empty but people started coming in as we got to 5/5:30pm. Menu has good options so we chose the Shrimp Bucatini pasta, Wild Mexican Jumbo Shrimps with a side of mashed potatoes and sweet corn and the Balckened Wild Ono fish sandwich. We also ordered grilled artichoke for starters and just water for drinks. The grilled artichoke were ok. We ordered them without realizing that those were not artichoke "hearts" so there was barely anything to eat. The dipping sauce was so good. If those were artichoke hearts, this would have been a hit! Two of the three dishes were good, the fish sandwich and the grilled shrimp. The Bucatini pasta dish did not work for us. The flavors were somewhat off and the dish had seasoning that gave it a grainy texture. Even though it sounded good "on paper", it didn't taste the way we expected it to. Service was friendly and attentive. Jill did a great job! Ambience was not our favorite. Dark colors and felt a little dated. The restaurant however was clean, including the bathrooms. Prices are slightly on the higher side considering the portion size. For the three dishes and appetizer without the tip, $100. read more

My favorite lunch spot in Tempe!!! I love coming here after I've been shopping at Tempe marketplace! The food is always delicious and service is 10/10. I love the costal theme the restaurant has and their crispy calamari is my go to order every time!

Fresh fish in Phoenix? After 18 years of living in FL I was skeptical at best. But the inside of the place looks like and old English pub crossed with a 1960's rat pack kind of charm. Based on the food that is where it came from. I could have done as well with a box of Gordon's fish sticks when it came to the fish and chips. My plate was covered in and the fries were swimming in grease. The crab cakes were deviled which I hadn't had since the days of Waldorf salads, not flakey but pasty. The calamari was passable, it was tender. And sushi at an English style fish house? read more

We ordered oysters, fish and chip, and a fried seafood platter. Everything was excellent, including the service. Less oil flavor would be great. We would go back again. The only negative thing is that it is in a mall, and parking is way in the back, and the handicapped parking spots are way far back too. read more

This food was incredible. Highly suggest the Chilean sea bass. I went there a few months ago and I still think about that meal.

I am sitting here now, inside this restaurant and it has a horrible fishy smell! Not the "normal" fish smell, this smell almost want to leave it's pretty bad. Hostess was petite and beautiful and very kind!! Was seated right away! Food came right away! Food is delicious! Food is pricey. Waitress was helpful & fabulous! Restaurant was nice size, plenty of seating! Besides the really off smell everything else was really AWESOME! read more

Great food at very high prices. This is a chain, and while the seafood we ate was fresh, the prices were a tad out of whack. Let's hit the food. The spouse had the crab cakes as her appetizer, she liked them, and mentioned she could taste the crab bits. I went with clams (cold apps). A six pack. It comes with warm butter and they have been pre-grit removed. The sauces they noted the flavors of each, but they showed seven which is impressive since you only get 6 clams. One sauce was if you just had a lot of little onions in a sauce. I passed. I just went with the cocktail sauce and warm butter. The shredded horseradish had zero flavor, and reminded me too much of shredded wheat. The other sauces I can't rrecall. Clearly memories were not needed. On the mains, she had a salad with chicken I think (she isn't a fish or shellfish person), I on the other hand had the grilled shrimp blackened. The sides I selected was corn on the cob shelled, which looked like they took a can of corn and emptied it in a bowl. Yes, I'm sure it was the corn cob, because canned corn doesn't look fresh, and this was. The other was Sautéed spinach, lite on garlic. The shrimp were good, but the blackened seasoning reminded me of Old Bay, because it was really salty, and Old Bay is the same. Both pull the blackened angle. I thought about removing one star for the sodium infusion. Parking stinks. It's in that big plaza of stores, so go around it and park behind it, across the road in another store area. Plenty of spots there and a few minutes that's it, to get to the King here. Oh, I made a reservation for 6 pm on a Sundwy and was surprised to see how it wasn't even close to being busy. In fact it just never got busy. Anyway, always best to make a reservation on weekend eves. read more

It's been about 3 years since I was here last and the experience definitely lived up to the memories and the expectations! I had the Colombian Farmed Tilapia with Mac n Cheese and Garlic Mashed Potatoes! It was all delicious! The tilapia had perfect grill marks while still being perfectly pull-apart. Last time I was here, I wasn't very impressed with the Mac n Cheese, but this time it was fantastic! The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were also delicious; I honestly think it was the perfect combination for the the Tilapia and Mac n Cheese! It was a very complimentary meal as far as flavor and textured are concerned. I also had the Clam Chowder and it was also delicious; nice large chucks of clam! Our service was good, the waiter did a good job of keeping our drinks refilled for the most part. I missed having the Crème Brûlée, but we tried the Butter Cake and it was really good! Food: 5/5 Stars Service: 4/5 Stars Ambiance: 5/5 Stars Wow Factor: Mac N Cheese: it was so creamy and perfectly al dente! 5/5 Stars Overall: 5/5 Stars King's is definitely the place to go for great seafood! read more

A little bigger portions for the larger eater wouldn't hurt! But overall a great experience! read more

My oh my. The only good thing about this place was the ambiance. It was nicely laid out and had a lot of seating so could hypothetically accommodate larger groups, however, that's where it stops. The food was so incredibly bland. And it was a tad expensive. I ordered a few different things during my visit (a few weeks back) and I didn't enjoy one thing. I picked at the various items but didn't actually "eat" any of it. The food was plated nicely and looked good but the flavor was just not there. I would not recommend. read more
