" I enjoyed my visit to Kingfisher, but I had mixed feelings about the experiences. While the ambiance was beautiful and the service excellent, particularly with timely drink refills, the food left me underwhelmed. The flavors were good, but I was hoping for a stronger representation of traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Portions felt on the smaller side for the price. Overall, worth a visit, but I might try other dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is an absolute gem! We split a few plates and loved everything, especially the flan, which was light and creamy with a unique taste. The atmosphere buzzing with excitement, making it a perfect date spot. Our server was highly knowledgeable about the menu and lent recommendations that made our night truly special. Planning to return very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a fabulous anniversary dinner here. The setting was romantic, and we were greeted warmly by the staff. The dry-aged duck surpassed all expectations! Flavorful and perfectly cooked, it deserves all the hype. The cocktails were unique, and each complemented our meal perfectly. More on the expensive side, but every dollar was worth it. Will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to Kingfisher, and it won’t be my last! We started with the tartare, which was superb, and the grilled duck also stood out as a top recommendation. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable. A fantastic place for a celebration or just a lovely dinner out with friends. Can’t wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here for the first time last night and was thoroughly impressed. The menu emphasizes freshness and creativity. We opted for the eggplant and crab salad, which was exceptional! The only downside was the wait time for our food; it felt a bit longer than expected. Overall, a great choice for those looking to enjoy a flavorful meal in a cozy setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely captivated by the dining experience at Kingfisher! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a romantic evening. Each dish we ordered was meticulously prepared. The crispy duck was the highlight, and the wine selection complemented our meals beautifully. Service was attentive without being overbearing. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice place, great ambience! The cocktails were impressive, with inventive flavors that made for a fun experience. However, I felt like the food was slightly overpriced for what we received. Though well-presented, it didn't have the depth of flavor that I had anticipated. I appreciated the fresh ingredients but would recommend looking at the menu ahead of time to manage expectations.
