History
The Albright's legacy began over four decades ago when Yun and Greg King took ownership of the location, then known as SM Pier Seafood. They transformed it into a welcoming space that paid homage to the local culture. In 2013, their daughter Yunnie Kim Morena gave the eatery a fresh look and rebranded it as The Albright, continuing the family tradition of serving fresh and sustainable seafood dishes.
