KING PARADISE

My mom loves and I mean loves salted fish fried rice. You’ll find this at Chinese restaurants or Vietnamese restaurants with Chinese influence. Salted fish is basically the excess pieces like the cheeks and other areas that are broken and instead of throwing them away, you collect them all to make this dish. Or just use normal pieces of fish but tear them apart. It can also be pared with shrimp or chicken.

Well, this dish can be a hit or miss. Some places will make it with a very fishy smell and hard to eat. Or really salty. Or dry.

But at King’s Paradise, their salted fish fried rice is moist, flavorful, lots of fish and chicken.

We live in San Diego but kept seeing the commercials on Saigon Channel so we drove to OC to try this dish. We did it twice already.

Overall, this our second weekend eating here for lunch and the food is good and the service is good too. Our favorite dish is Bo Ne and Chicken Salad with fish sauce. The prices is reasonable.

Danny the owner, brought out our Pho and was of the most friendly and personable owners that I have met in this area. All the food was superb, with the vegetables bright and fresh. Ge runs a right ship, as he diligently but compassionately, trained his employees. You can tell that he really cares about his Patrons and is so passionate about both the food and the service.
I overheard him addressing a table down from us and he asked them about their mom (who wasn't there). He is on a first name basis with many customers. This place is beautifully decorated and Danny's employees are professional, courteous and prompt.
I would highly recommend this place for it's food and I will return again and again because of Danny and his beautiful staff. Definitely 5 star dining at a reasonable price.
