The King of Fish

Food: The food is amazing here! My favorites are the fish tacos, but the octopus taco is also very good. The fish is cooked perfectly and tastes very fresh. The baby shark empanada was just okay - not a must get. The ceviche tostada was excellent. I would recommend this item if you enjoy ceviche. We also ordered a fish platter which comes with a whole fried red snapper, squid ink rice and salad. The platter was delicious, but I prefer the tacos over this dish. Service: Service was phenomenal. The staff came over frequently to see if we needed anything. He was also so friendly and kind. Other staff who weren't our main server also came by to see how our food was. A very warm and welcoming staff here! Ambiance: The ambiance is so nice. In the front of the restaurant, there is a full bar with a few tables which can accommodate a small or large group by putting tables together. They have a back section to the restaurant which has more tables for both large and small groups. The decor is nice here and has an ocean and sailor theme. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

The first time we ate here it was on a weekend and everything was delicious. I ordered the red snapper and it was huge! The food here is really good and fresh, which is hard to get in Manhattan. The second time we came back, it was a weeknight and the fish was so much smaller for the same price. However, we were rushing to leave as we saw a huge cockroach up on the ceiling, moving between there and the wall. It just colored my experience and sadly, would be the main reason we won't be back. The servers are exceptionally friendly which we loved.

This place serves spectacular tacos and beer. The tortillas are fresh and handmade, the avocados are top quality, and the crema is delicious. The fish is high quality, comparable to what you'd find in Quintana Roo. The fried shrimp is fresh, crispy, juicy, and bouncy. The ceviche has a perfect tender texture with the right balance of acidity and savoriness.The service was friendly and prompt. And the place is very well kept and cute inside very cozy.

My friend and I went to check out The King of Fish at 5pm on a Tuesday after seeing the rave reviews. I made a reservation, but it wasn't necessary! I do want to add that it was drizzling, so that could be why the restaurant was not super busy. The ambiance has a nice, cozy feel and they commit to the nautical theme with their outfits! There was a prettier seating area in the back, but it looked like it was under renovation.I had three tacos: shrimp ($6), fish ($6), and octopus ($7). My friend got the platter sampler ($20). The highlight was the freshness of the seafood. That being said, I do like the taste of fresh shrimp, light fish, and octopus, but find the profiles to be on the mild side. I can appreciate the lightness but prefer a more robust flavor profile playing with sauces, spices, and vegetables in the taco. I also liked that their taco shell was robust enough to not fall apart but maintained the soft-taco vibes. My favorite was the fish because the batter provided more flavor. Service here was warm and welcoming! Our original server just spoke Spanish, so the bartender stepped in to help us translate. They did multiple check backs to make sure we were okay and did not pressure us with the check. If you're looking for cozy vibes and fresh seafood small bites, then check out The King of Fish!

What a gem!!! This was our first night in Brooklyn and we were blown away by the delicious food and amazing service. We love the ambiance of this place - cozy and fun! When you enter, you'll be greeted by staffs wearing sailor uniforms and hear the chatters of clientele who seem to be regulars at this restaurant.We ordered a lot of food, I can't members exactly all the items but it included a wide selection of seafood options: fried calamari, tostada mixed platter (came with shrimp, ceviche, squid?, and scallop?). We also had baby shark tacos, fish tacos, octopus tacos, lobster tacos, some quesadillas dish... it all tasted heavenly! This is probably the best seafood taco place I have been. We had such a great time here and the staffs were so friendly. If you love seafood, this is one place you don't want to miss!

A great tacos place near Sunset Park, Brooklyn. They have plenty of seafood options (as the name suggests). I had three tacos and they were all very good. The waiter seemed busy but were very attentive and helpful to us.I believe they are related to The King of Meat on the same street.

Relatively messy taco but good. The ceviche tostada was my favorite. The fish was fresh and tender. The tostada provided a nice crunchy contrast, and the avocado was creamy. The fish taco was okay. Not the best one in terms of batter, but the flavors were on point. The shrimp had too much batter in relation to the actual shrimp. This one fell flat for me. I did like the sauces provided on the side, and they added an extra oomph to the tacos and tostada for me. One of the sauce jars exploded when I opened it, but luckily the waitress was quick to make sure I was okay and provided me with more napkins.

Oh my God. Best fish and shrimp tacos of my life. Homemade corn tortillas, freshly breaded and fried shrimp and fish. You could really tell how fresh the shrimp was! I got it for takeout and the bartender was very sweet.

Made a reservation on Saturday and was seated right away. There was no one at all! We were seated in the back with the lots of boat/sea related decor and interior which was really cute. However there was no AC or fan in the back seating area so it was a bit stuffy. Also the staff didn't come to check up on us too often so it took awhile to order and to get the check. The food was alright. Felt like the batter for anything that was fried was too heavily salted. Saw a lot of positive reviews so was a bit disappointed.Order the following:- JALEA D'CALAMARI - Calamari, shrimp, and fish with 2 different sauces $19:- EL TIRON - Fish taco [Breaded fish, cabbage, pico de gallo and house dressing] $6- EL CHAMO - Shrimp taco, [ Breaded shrimp, cabbage, pico de gallo and house dressing] $6- EMPANADAS - CAZON [Baby shark,pico de gallo and house dressing] $6

The food here is amazing and Authentic! I just returned from a trip to the fishing village in Bucerias, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This was just like it, fresh and delicious! Definitely check it out!!
