King's Fish House - San Jose

I love this place. I've come here ever since they've opened and I never had a dull experience here. The Oyster Sampler is one of the best I've had, and that's a lot coming from here. Our waitress for tonight was Abby and she is wonderful. The hostess, Lance got us seated right away even though we were an hour late, but don't come here expecting to get seated if you're an hour late. I think we just got lucky! Overall, the mood and the setting is great. Everyone is to themselves and it's like white noise. Your ears will eventually drown it out.

Mall restaurants have changed a lot since I shopped at these substitute downtowns that used to be full of chain restaurants with so-so food but that's not the case here. Located in San Jose's massive Westfield Valley Mall, food~wise, King Fish House could stand up to any of the pricier waterfront restaurants at Fisherman's Wharf. It just doesn't have the waterfront view.We went there for fresh. Dungeness crab with garlic and olive oil, which was tastily prepared. Sourdough bread was wonderful warm and authentically sour.Although we loved the crab, we wereI disappointed that the crab fat was removed because that is usually the tastiest part of the crab. Also wondered why there wasn't an Asian preparation of crab considering the large number of Asians visiting the shopping center. Oysters were fresh and refreshing as an appetizer.The server didn't blink an eye when we asked to split the salad. So accommodating.The large room had a nautical theme but didn't overdo it. We went when it opened so we were seated right away in the large room (there's outdoor seating) but by the time we left there was a waiting line so apparently it is popular with the locals.Our server was a pro; attentive without being annoying and always with a smile.All in all, other items on the menu looked interesting. I'm a seafood fan so I'm looking forward to a return visit.

Well our server at the bar Patrick was super polite and Efficient with getting us settled up and helping us out with what to order since it was my first time thereSo we went with the macadamia nut crusted halibut That was probably the best tasting halibut I ever had no joke.The spicy tuna was super freshAs well as the California roll

Everything was hit-and-miss tonight. The fries were cold. We had to ask for just about everything - refills, condiments, etc. And it was an early dinner before it got crowded.Finished off the evening by being told we could only use one "bonus" gift card per visit (purchased from King's Christmas promo) when we were told during our last visit we could use them together.All told, not quite the experience I would expect from a $75/per person dinner, especially when one has to make multiple visits to use their gift cards. Not the value proposition it appears up front.

I've been eyeing this spot for a while now and was super excited to finally try it out. The menu had a good amount of offerings. It was so hard to choose! Everything on the menu sounded so good! Our server, Keanu, was very outgoing, professional, and helpful. He offered recommendations for food and drinks. Good thing I made reservations beforehand because i knew it was going to be busy (Saturday night Valentine's weekend). The atmosphere is very lively and decor is beautiful. This place is very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. They even have a seating area at the bar. It reminded me of Yard House but more charming. The entrees did take a bit long to come out but understandable since it was a very busy night. At least the appetizers came out in a good amount of time so we weren't hangry. They even give you FREE, fresh bread and butter. So soft, warm, and fluffy!! My friends and I shared the oyster sampler (dozen). It tasted so fresh and we loved the cocktail sauce that came with it! I liked the Agave sting so much that I ended up drinking 2 during the night. My friends liked his Mojito verde and ordered 2 as well. For appetizers, we ordered Blacken shrimp taquitos and fried calamari to share. Pretty solid and great portions. For entrees, you get to pick 2 sides with it. I loved the Macadamia nut crusted wild Alaskan halibut with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. So yummy!!My friends liked their food too. - Steak with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. - Scallops with mashed potatoes and French fries. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed the food. I will definitely be back.

King's Fish House is a solid seafood restaurant! I've been greeted kindly every time on arrival and the servers here are respectful and on top of things. The restaurant is very inviting and cozy, despite being a relatively good size and having the tables well spread out.I've had the lobster roll here twice and both times, it's been delicious. They offer it in two styles, traditional butter or browned butter and I didn't think there was a difference between the two but it's delicious either way. I'm also not big on raw seafood but my fiance loved the oyster sampler here! He was raving on about how different, but enjoyable it was to experience oysters from around the country. I also love the sourdough bread they give to start our meal off! I'm a sucker for bread in general, but their bread comes out warm and so fresh. I'm excited for my next visit!

Oops I've been here agin - for the win. It's easy here . Very easy . A great selection of food and it's nice to be back. Make reservations- it hard to just get a table. You. An air at the bar and the high tops. Some people sit every other and kinda waste space. Then you have the " purses and jackets " that fill a seat here and there at the bar. I shoulda taken a pic , for it happens and I need the receipts. We get the Manila clams and add linguini and it's filling. I got the tuna - seared to perfection. The bread is sooooo good ,,, our bartender was fast and really on top of our order. We will be back.....

Coming to King's Fish House is always a treat and delight. Went a week ago for a date night (much needed) and was really excited to indulge on some tasty oysters. The Kumamotos are my favorite and we really enjoy all the options for the Pacific choices. They are always fresh and the sauces that come with it are superb.The menu always has plenty of options and we love choosing a few things to share and went with the lunar new year special fish and the other dish was the grilled scallops. Delish!!Our server for that night was Nadia and she was AMAZING! So friendly, attentive and checked on us to make sure our food and drinks came out timely and was also making sure we were enjoying each dish. She provided excellent service and made our date night dining experience so pleasant. We'll be back again and appreciate her very positive attitude! 5 stars!Thanks so much and we'll be back again!

Family and I wanted to get seafood while we were at Valley Fair and I mentioned that my girlfriends and I went here for a GNO. Service was fast and we wereseated within minutes. We ordered the Cioppino to share along with fish and chips. Kids loved it and want to come back.

Came here for drinks after doing some shopping at the mall and wasn't expecting too much on a Monday afternoon. We sat at the bar with Dima and she was phenomenal! My sister and I were expecting just a little casual cocktail hour after an underwhelming shopping trip (we drove an hour btw) and Dima turned our whole afternoon around! Great conversation, great service! She made our whole day. I loved how engaging and how easy she was to talk to. If you're reading this Dima, thank you so much for taking care of me and my sister! We appreciate you and will definitely be back!
