Established in 1998, King’s Fish House is Orange’s choice for seafood. Located at the Stadium Promenade and minutes away from Angels Stadium and the Honda Center, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.
We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.
Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.
Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.

Byblos Café, originally a Mediterranean market, has been a staple in the orange circle since the 50’s. It was sold to Adel and Zalfa Mahshi in 1989. The family run business became a favorite in the town for Lebanese cuisine. Many locals loyally frequented the spot for their famous Turkish coffee. In 2022, Daily Dose Hospitality, the crew that also runs Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, purchased the business from the family. While Adel and Zalfa had the opportunity to retire, their son, Tim, joined the team alongside Pedram Yazarlou as operating partners. They have transitioned the cuisine to a Mediterranean fusion style with influences from Greece, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, & Jordan.

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Waitress Nicole was very good. We were the first of the morning to be sat so ordering and food delivery was quick. The only reason I didn't give 5star for food was we both asked for eggs over EASY and they came Medium. We could've returned them but we didn't. It was still good.

    We had a group of 11 for a late lunch. We ordered appetizers, main dishes, sides & dessert. Everyone was happy. The seafood dishes were great, even the non seafood fans loved their selections of grilled chicken. The food was fresh and the service was awesome. We asked our server for many suggestions . We are looking forward to dining at O SEA again!

    Our server was super attentive and patient with my multiple questions about wines and entrees. Food was delicious and for Cali, prices were reasonable. Lunch for two with (2) beers, a glass of wine and two entrees ran $75 before gratuity. On a Wednesday at 1:00pm, very quiet atmosphere inside.

    The staff is really nice and attentive. The water they prepared for my 16-month daughter has a short straw. I think the waiter cut it shorter, so it’s easier for her to drink. The happy hour menu is great as well. We almost finished ordering the entire drink and food menu 😂
