Kingfisher Review - Golden Hill - San Diego - The Infatuation

"Kingfisher is one of the buzziest places in town, and you’ll definitely need a reservation to eat here. You’ll find beautifully-plated food incorporating flavors from all over Southeast Asia—go for the wild mushroom congee laced with crispy garlic, crunchy lettuce wraps, smoked dry-aged duck with rice noodles, and nuoc cham chimichurri. The dining room is anchored by an oval-shaped bar and a glowing, golden sculptural light fixture, as if your best design-savvy friend had a blank check to execute their “industrial-chic” Pinterest board. They also have a small, quieter outdoor patio that’s great for dates and dinners when you just want to gossip with your closest friends." - Ligaya Malones
