King Steak — Local services in Houston

Our recent visit to King Steak in Houston was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the warm, sophisticated ambiance that set the perfect mood for a special evening. What made the night even more memorable was being personally greeted by the gracious owners, Chef Eric Aldis and Johnny V, whose passion for hospitality truly shines through.

We indulged in a variety of appetizers, each one more impressive than the last — the Bacon-wrapped Scallops were perfectly seared with just the right balance of smokiness and sweetness, while the homemade Meatballs delivered rich, comforting flavors that showcased the kitchen’s attention to detail.

For our entrées, we savored the Oro King Salmon, accompanied by its uniquely delicious Pesto Cauliflower Rice — a creative and satisfying pairing. The Filet was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor, and the Chicken Parmesan was elevated by a mouthwatering Spaghetti with Pomodoro sauce that tasted as if it came straight from a rustic Italian kitchen.

To top off this remarkable culinary journey, we enjoyed a Caviar bump paired with a Beluga Vodka shot — the ideal way to celebrate an unforgettable evening.

Without a doubt, King Steak offers an unparalleled dining experience, perfect for sharing with cherished friends and loved ones. We’re already looking forward to...

We had a good dining experience at King Steak. You might be surprised that it’s not really a steakhouse as there only three options to choose from. It’s more of an elevated American-fare menu. We had the meatballs and classic shrimp cocktail, they were strong starters. Our party also ordered the Ora King Salmon, Burger, Filet and Cowboy Ribeye. From the feedback on their dish they seemed to enjoy it. I had the ribeye and it was properly cooked to my temp request. Kept seasoning simple and let the beef shined which I like. Good sear, although I personally like more charring to my steak. Again, that’s just a personal preference. Our server Jim had good energy with our party, enthusiastic and made solid recommendations. Dessert is only one item, a warm large choc chip cookie with a scoop of ice cream. Maybe not the most creative of desserts, but it was tasty. One issue with it being so wide is that the edges were crisp (which is a good thing), but the center was a bit under baked (not so good). I would prefer it to be smaller but thicker, so you can achieve that gooey center while still getting those crisp edges. Hopefully it gets tweaked. They told me that in the coming weeks they’ll roll out more items to the dessert menu. Looking...

The Hubby and I tried King Steak for the first time. First off, I really loved the aesthetics—it feels like dining in a fancy treehouse with lots of natural light. It’s small and cozy, but in the best way. We started with the meatballs, which were delicious, though the sauce had a bit of an odd aftertaste for me. The Hubby loved them.

The steak was good, but with only two options on the menu—which is surprising given the name—you expect them to get it just right. Mine was slightly overcooked. I always gauge a steakhouse by whether they can truly deliver a perfect medium rare. So far, only Credence and Steak 48 nail it every single time. That said, the steak was still flavorful.

When it came to dessert, they only have one option. The waitress was a bit dismissive and said something like, 'We only have one dessert—I’m sure you’re not interested.' For the record, the dessert is basically a bazooki like the ones from BJ’s, which my eldest used to absolutely love when he was a kid.

Service is a big deal for me. While the waitress was a little off-putting, the floor manager was excellent and very attentive, which helped balance things out. The hostess was very nice also. Overall, it was a good experience, and we’ll...
