My daughter and I had dinner here last weekend (afternot having been there since maybe early 2022?) and it was so GOOD! Nothing super fancy but everything was fresh and flavorful, the clam chowder was perfect, and the staff were so nice, which unfortunately is a rarity these days. Nice job Kings, we will be back!

Wonderful dinner at Kings. The scallops were excellent. Service was very good. Seafood prices are pretty reasonable considering seafood is always a bit pricey.

We visited from Michigan a couple weeks ago. Service was amazing as was the atmosphere! I had the panko shrimp. The display was beautiful but they were a little dry. But that was not a huge deal. We had a wonderful time!

We were a large party, it was my birthday. The bread was amazing and the buffalo wings delicious. The service was decent. My biggest issue is the temperature of my food. My clam chowder was room temp, I requested another one and it was better but nit great…but then my mashed potatoes were not warm at all and they brought me another one. I ordered the sea bass meal. My dish was Ok. My husband ordered the Salmon meal and he said his salmon was “watery” and lacked flavor. My girls said the fish with the fish and chips were “chewy”. The chicken on the Cesar salad lacked flavor. The complimentary dessert was Bread pudding with ice cream. I do not like bread pudding, but my father enjoyed it. We created a great memory and that’s what is important.

We loved this place so much we came twice in the same day. First time we arrived around 1130 and they barely had enough servers to be open so the hostess actually became our waitress. I had the “1st mate” seafood platter which was amazing, and my wife the sea bass which she loved.

Dinner I had the seafood cobb, the caterpillar sushi roll and my wife had a grilled salmon. Our kids had pasta with marinara and mac&cheese which they really enjoyed. Service in the evening was much better and the food again was amazing. We’ll absolutely be back!

Decent food, great atmosphere, reasonable prices. I really like the remodeled location in Carlsbad feels like you’re stepping into a high-end restaurant.
Their sushi is wonderful . They bring really good bread to the table. I tried this spicy Manhattan style seafood soup which wasn’t very good – just too watery for my taste.
I would return here to try their other dishes . Seafood in general is expensive and it’s hard to find a good restaurant with fresh fish.

– The food quality has remained good even after 4 years, which is positive.
– However, the service seemed to be an issue, with a long wait for the waitress. This can be frustrating for diners.
– The food is good quality and fresh, which is a key strength.
– The wait times for the food itself are not long, which is also positive.
– However, you rate the customer service/surface experience as a 7 out of 10, indicating there is room for improvement there.

The fact that the food quality and freshness are strong, but the customer service could be better, provides a more balanced assessment. A 7 out of 10 for service suggests it’s not terrible, but could use some refinement to reach an excellent level.

This is a common challenge restaurants face – getting the food preparation dialed in while also delivering top-notch service. It seems Kingfish house has the food part down well, but may need to focus a bit more on the surface-level interactions with customers to truly excel.

Overall, it sounds like King’s fish house is a solid restaurant option, with good food as the foundation, but with an opportunity to enhance the customer service experience to round out the dining experience. A 7 out of 10 for service is respectable, but striving for 8-9 out of 10 could take them to the next level.

I’ve been coming to this place for a long time with my family. The atmosphere is great, and the food menu is excellent. I highly recommend trying their oysters and other delicious dishes. The staff is always friendly and very attentive.

I came here with a friend for an early dinner. Brook, our server was excellent. I asked what she thought was better, the swordfish tacos or Kings Combo platter. She recommended the latter and i was not disappointed. It was just what I was in the mood for. The Key Lime pie was perfect for dessert. Thanks Brook and team for great service and food!
