    Under new management. Extremely poor service. No steak knife for the ribeye, no appitizer even though I was the only one there the food server never brought it to me. Bad service all around. High prices. Poor parking, 3 spots.

    Nice little cafe. The food is good and reasonably priced. Service is always friendly. Some Indoor seating and also some out door seating. Small parking lot with limited spaces but we have never had a problem finding a space.

    On the corner of a residential building, there are not too many parking spaces and the side of the restaurant looks more like the main entrance. There is spacious inside seating. The menu is printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, just want to let you know what to expect, no fountain drinks, I order a strawberry lemonade (very nice and fresh). They have a nice selection of taps and a few wines. I came for before the lunch crowd, I ordered the udon noodle with chicken. Veggies were very good and the udon was done perfectly, the chicken was probably canned, but the broth flavorful. In a location with many Asian restaurants fighting for customers, Soul Du Jour seems to be holding its own. I think coming back for the hot and sour or DanDan noodles maybe my next play here.

    Taro milk tea with rainbow jelly

    Soup Du Jour is a cute place with good food. The service is great! We were told to sit anywhere and were given utensils, ice water, and menus immediately. We ordered the spiced street chicken plate, sweet and sour fish filet, taro milk tea, and some kind of peach tea. I think the spiced street chicken was a little too salty but it was still good. The sweet and sour fish was great. I would recommend staying away from their milk teas, as the drinks we had were way too sweet. Overall, the experience was great. I would come back for a quick bite. Maybe get something else to drink, though. Also, their TV's cannot show sports. We asked and they tried their hardest but it didn't work out.

    Noodle w.Minced Pork & Soybean Paste very good,This bowl of noodles blew me away--it was incredibly delicious and satisfying.
    Quan L.

    This bowl of noodles amazed me; it was incredibly delicious and satisfying. It came with three different sauces, and each one was delicious on its own. But when they blended together, it was simply incredible! I regret not discovering it sooner. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent.

    Chicken congee with extra chicken
    Tina S.

    One of the few places that have congee in san diego! It even comes with a you tiao(Chinese donut) This place has a lot of traditional taiwanese meals and the taste is very home and delicious. I came a little late, about 20mijs before closing and they still accommodated us. I was pretty surprised with how well the flavors and food were. The spare ribs meat was so flavorful and tender it fell of the bones. I would say the wings are salty and a nice kind of saltiness(get some rice and its great!) The soup of the day was packed with a lot of radish and very homie. The staff was super friendly and the decor had some traditional tawainese bowls and stuff. Seems like a lot of people come to hang and chat over food. It is located in a residential apartment area for parking, I didnt have too much issue find parking and they have a designated pickup area.

    Cute casual place I been meaning to try by my place. Today was the day! I got the honey glazed ribs, salt and pepper chicken, wontons in chili sauce and Thai tea to drink. I noticed they did a lot of pick up orders due to the restaurant being attached to a residential complex and office buildings across the street. So they seem slow inside the restaurant but busy in the kitchen. Once I got my food, oh my god. Ribs falling off the bone and delicious seasoning. The salt and pepper chicken is so tasty and finger licking good. The wontons were definitely a hit and loved the chili sauce. I am definitely coming back to try other menu items! Totally recommend this place!!

    Spiced Street Chicken
    Joyce L.

    Comfort Asian food. Delicious! Enjoyed the spiced street chicken and the wonton in spicy sauce. Yum! I pre-ordered online so I could grab-and-go, since parking is pretty minimal. They are located downstairs a residential apartment building, with mostly residential parking.

    We have been here twice, and it definitely won't be our last!We love their Hainanese Chicken Rice, it 's absolutely excellent. The chicken is super tender and moist, and the rice is perfectly cooked.It's a must-have! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings are really good too!

    10/10 Hot and Sour soup.
    Peter T.

    Norovirus hit my house hard in 2025. Kids had it, I got it etc. While my illness was short my first recovery meal was chicken noodle soup from a can. Ran right through me. Waited a day and a half and my dinner choice after my stomach felt better was house made soup. We live in San Diego. The Asian food that is not on Convoy is borderlined unacceptable and inedible. I yelped the crap out of nearby restaurants and found Soup Du Jour. Soup Du Jour serves the best hot and spicy soup I've had outside of the Bay Area. Balance in heat, sweet, and sour, perfectly chopped veggies and perfect veggies to soup density. It really is perfect. Prices are so inexpensive too. How is this place not all over the radar? It's the best.

    Great service and quality of food. Plenty of parking and we were seated immediately. Available to sit outside or inside. The Spare ribs were to die for!

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken
    Jennifer W.

    I came here with a friend for dinner on a Thursday, and the food was amazing! We ordered almost everything they recommended: Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, Honey Glazed Spare Ribs. They gave a huge portion and all their food was super authentic! Highly recommend the popcorn chicken, as it tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The meat on the ribs were super tender and it literally fell off the bone. It was not overly sweet or salty as well. Everything was hearty and filling. Our server was so passionate about their dishes and spoke very highly of them for a while. Throughout our meal, they came to check on what we thought of the food. They were so nice! Honestly if there's any small local restaurants you should support, it would be this one:)

    Soup Du Jour replaced CARVE in this corner suite of the Olympus Corsair apartment complex in Serra Mesa. The interior still had a bar that served beer and wine while the outdoor patio was maintained for additional seating. As evident by the business name, the menu was transformed from meats on the rotisserie and sandwiches to one specializing in soups (and salads). For my to-go order, I selected a cup of the Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup) which was made up of two beef & pork meatballs, zucchini, chayote, carrots, and tomatoes in a light broth. I also picked the Crab Mango Salad which consisted of lump crab, mango, red bell pepper, onion, celery, and creamy dijon dressing. A one dollar discount was applied to the bill since my choice was a combo. The meatballs in the soup were large and chunky. The veggies were cut into sizable pieces while the broth was just right in terms of saltiness. The salad components were fresh and reasonable in portion size. I also received a complimentary chocolate chip cookie as part of the order. The takeout experience I had at Soup Du Jour was at a four star level.

    Came here with their revamped fine dining Korean Asian Fusion menu during Happy Hour and this place…read morewas absolutely amazing!!!!! First off, there is free parking available, just circle around the building until you see a garage entrance for retail parking. Two hours for free! Let me first explain the aesthetics of this place. Clean and modern with mid century feel accented with greenery throughout. Please note that they won't seat you until most of your party is present. We came here for Happy Hour which was from 4-6pm from Tuesday to Sunday! This is fantastic that HH includes the weekend!!!! To start, got a wellness shot which had a meld of juices and ginger. A great drink to ready your palate. For cocktails, I tried the Suika Spritz, which was refreshing! The Absolutely Pho-nomenal definitely tasted like cold Pho broth but spiked. It wasn't my favorite drink, but glad I tried it nonetheless. Of course we ordered the $1 oysters, and ordered all three - Baja, Pacific Northwest, & East Coast. It came with some Asian fusion sauces to dress our oysters. My fave was the Baja as these were the freshest! All three were smooth and non briny. On the HH menu we also tried - Bulgogi Birria Vampiro - Tender meat with bulgogi seasoned beef on top of a tostada. Really liked the meld of the two cultures in this dish. Duck Liver Mousse - Comes with rustic bread & crème fraiche. Very duck forward. I liked this because it was rich with flavor. Stone Crab Taco - Loved the nod to Loganisa in this taco! This was by far, my favorite protein dish on the HH menu!!!! Regular Menu - Mango Nasturium Kimchi Salad - I absolutely loved this vibrant and fresh dish!!!! I had to go back for second and thirds! Shishito Peppers with Bonito Flakes - This was definitely a fun and flavorful dish with lots of umami. Dessert - Hotteok and Vanilla Ice Cream - this was my favorite dessert! The pancakes were flaky and delicious!! Bonbunja Tiramisu - Beware! This has a strong coffee taste. It reminded of the strength and flavor profile of a Vietnamese coffee. I can't believe it's not cheesecake - Definitely a mix of a brûlée but with a cheesecake flavor. Confusing but works lol. We met the executive chef, Kyler, who explained and served some of dishes we ordered. The entire staff was so accommodating and even reminded us if we needed our parking validated! Our water never ran empty and our dishes were promptly taken away as we finished. Definitely a place to visit during HH since they offer amazing food and cocktail choices.

    Elevated decor for an Asian restaurant, friendly staff, surprisingly tasty dish off a small menu…read more It looks like they have an extensive drink menu but I wasn't here to drink. They don't have too many offerings for food maybe six appetizers five or six entree choices in about three dessert options. There was a Padres game tonight so they were sold out of several things but I opted for one of those substitution items which was a prosciutto wrapped seared ahi steak on a bed of forbidden rice and charred baby bok choy. I was doubtful how it would taste to have Pursuit wrapped around a raw piece of Ahi but it surprisingly works! The presentation is one of the most unique I've ever seen. See the picture. Almost seems like someone squirted soap suds all over the dish but it was tasty. I probably wouldn't come again because I like more choices on the food side of the menu and because I found out when the check came that they automatically had a 20% gratuity and I was only a party of one! Thus i give it only 4 stars.

It's in a plaza with a ton of other restaurants, so just know parking can be a little chaotic. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30PM and still found parking pretty easily, but I can see it getting rough later. The place itself is on the smaller side, but they fit a good amount of seating. Every time I pass by it never looks super packed and even this time it wasn't that busy. I ordered ahead through their website, which was smooth, but when I walked in the cashier didn't see my order at first. I showed her my confirmation text, she checked with the kitchen and let me know it was still being prepared. She was super kind about it, so no issue there. I sat and waited and it ended up being around 20 minutes, which felt a little long for just two items, but not terrible. There was also a moment where a group came in and no one was at the front, so they asked me how ordering worked. We both just assumed you scan the QR code at the table and order from there, which probably explains why there isn't always someone upfront. A little confusing at first, but it is what it is. Once my food was ready, it was packaged really nicely. I had about a 25 minute drive home and everything stayed warm, which is honestly the best part about good takeout. Popcorn Chicken ($9.50) This might be the best popcorn chicken I've had in San Diego, especially for the price. You get big pieces, like actual chicken, not just fried coating. The seasoning is kind of addicting, a little sweet, a little salty, savory, with a slight kick. Super fragrant too with green onions mixed in. The sauce tasted like a cilantro jalapeño crema, almost taco vibes, which sounds random but it worked really well. And the shredded cabbage at the bottom soaking up all that extra seasoning... so good. Only thing is I wish some pieces were a little crispier and more golden, but still really really solid. Spicy Shrimp Wontons (8 pcs, $10.80) These come in a soy, vinegar, chili oil sauce that's super balanced. The wontons themselves are a bit smaller and don't have a ton of filling, so price-wise it's a little eh. But the sauce carries. After sitting in it during my drive home, I thought it would be too salty, but it actually soaked in perfectly. The color got darker and richer and the flavor still stayed balanced. Overall, this place is honestly solid. The menu isn't huge, more focused on noodles, dumplings, and apps, but based on what I had, they do it well. I'll definitely be back to try more, but that popcorn chicken alone is already enough reason to come back.

Parking is limited in the plaza shared with other restaurants so arrive early to snatch one.

The restaurant is very trendy and a perfect spot for a date or intimate dinner with a small party. For appetizer we ordered house-made baguette and French butter, duck liver pate, and kanpachi crudo. The baguette with the French butter was so fresh and tasty. It was hard to stop eating it. The pate was also delicious and the kanpachi crudo was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We also ordered the crispy chicken wings, house made egg noodles and smoked dry aged duck for entrees to share. The winds were very flavorful and the sauces that came with it were a great pairing. The noodles the smoked duck was a great size for sharing and came with lots of veggies and sides. The duck was perfectly cooked and delicious. The noodles were yummy but were outshined by the rest of the dishes. We ordered the pickled papaya and marinated cucumbers for sides. In hindsight we definitely had too much food and probably didn't need the sides but both were great compliments to the other dishes. For cocktails I ordered the nuoc mami but ended up preferring the water buffalo. Both were good but I did really enjoy the clarified pho reduction in the water buffalo. Service was friendly and attentive. They packaged up our menu nicely as we were celebrating birthdays. Overall I had a great first time at Kingfisher and would definitely recommend a try.
