“Service was unusually distracted, with table clearing occurring prior to permission and large periods of time between service. Reaching across guests and late bottle of wine delivery caught my attention. Perhaps there was a shortage of staff last night? The kitchen did not disappoint which is always my experience at Animae. ❤️❤️“
“Food was delicious! I ordered the lemon pepper wings, bulgogi fries and kimchi fried rice. All ! Service was excellent. Alayna was our server and she was super friendly and helped us with the menu and recommendations since it was our first time there.“
“Came here for happy hour and sat at the bar.(+) Cocktails were delicious - Kingfisher Spritz, Golden Hour, and Favored Winds.(+) Happy hour salt and pepper fish was very good.(+) House made egg noodles - super good(+) Wagyu smoked beef rib - really good.( ) Service was nice but we got asked how we were doing by like three different people repeatedly and it got a bit tiring.(+) Vibe is cool. Nice bar, ambience is really nice.“
“Some of the better pho I've found in San Diego outside of "little Saigon" in the City Heights neighborhood. The broth is rich and complex, the aromatics are fresh, and the meat is good quality. Service is also great here. Food comes out in just a few minutes. I enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee as well, they serve it in a drip over condensed milk, which is kind of fun to watch. Definitely recommended when seeking authentic pho in town.“
“The fried rice and cashew chicken were amazing. This will be my go to for fried rice in the area. However, the mango chicken was terrible. Both of us thought it tasted almost exactly like honey mustard and made me sick to my stomach with the syrup/mayo taste. I like sweet but this was unreal.I'm not sure if they changed the recipe because it looked lighter in color than pictures others posted or maybe messed up the ratio that day.“
“I ordered the Kimchi & Pork Dumplings, the Signature Potstickers, and the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. The dumplings and potstickers were pretty bland- they didn't taste bad, they just didn't taste like much, especially when you're expecting kimchi. The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup was better, and that's what I mostly enjoyed. In terms of asian food in San Diego, I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but it does okay if you're in the area and don't want to travel all the way to Convoy. Nothing to say about the service, since the style is mostly self-serve. Very casual place, meant for quick dining. Glad I came, but I don't think I'd come back.“
“We ordered the duck noodle soup with egg noodle for delivery at 2am. It hit the spot for sure. We ordered through yelp and the delivery person had us come out to meet her at her car on the street, so we weren't a huge fan of that, but the deliver option even half an hour before they closed was greatly appreciated.“
“Very bold move to open a jack of all trades restaurant in a place where you can get almost the best of specialized asian cruisines.That being said, the tonkotsu ramen and Popcorn chicken were very impressive. I highly recommend. Especially because it's hard to find $15 dollar ramens nowadays that still gives you all the amenities that belong in a good bowl of ramen.Popcorn chicken was freshly fried, well seasoned and delicious. Very happy with those two purchases.My wife wasn't too happy with the curry udon, but imo it's her fault for ordering it in the first place. It's not the restaurant's fault that curry doesn't belong with noodles haha. But if curry with noodles is your thing, it's got everything you'd want in there, plus they add cheese too.Come give them a try. I'm sure I'm not the only one skeptical since they do a few different cuisines.“
“We found this place by chance, and absolutely loved it. Our server Katherine was an absolute sweetheart and ensured we were well taken care of without hoovering. The manager (or owner?) personally came by our table to check on us. The food was delicious, high quality, and plentiful. Make sure you order the Monkey Roll; it was amazing! The Sweet Potato Roll was also excellent. Please try this place out - it's worth it!“
“I work at the jiffy lube across the way and this is the best dang lunch I've had all year. Really really good comfort food, at a good price, five stars for sure! It wasn't too crowded, even faster than a drive thru when I went. I'm not some teriyaki connoisseur but I know delicious when I taste it!“
“Went on a weekday the place has ample amount of seating and parking. I ordered a spicy sesame ramen. It was good and quite filling. I personally prefer the Tajima Ramen to spicy sesame. There was a slight problem with our order where one of the dishes didn't arrive but was on the bill, but after pointing out it was taken of quickly. The mercury location doesn't have vegetable gyoza on the menu which the convoy location has. Woth visiting again.“
“before going in I wasn't sure about this place, upon leaving I'd definitely return. The food was great as well as the service, was quick to get my order and wasn't over priced. I highly recommend anyone to come give this place a try“
“I came in with my family for dinner based on a recommendation and am so happy that this place delivered! Such a great little Lao spot. We ordered the nam khao, crying tiger beef, Lao sausage, and laap tuna. All slapped but the nam khao was extra good, A++. Quick service despite it being a busy Saturday night and impeccable music :)“
“It's perplexing to see negative reviews without specific details on dishes. Having worked at Hithai for five years, it's a personal favorite, especially for the fantastic Pork Chop and Panang curry sandwich. The Thai Tom Yum Noodle Soup and Egg Noodle BBQ pork are also top picks. Criticizing the prices seems unjust, as these dishes are reasonably priced at $5 for to-go orders. If you're seeking a great atmosphere, La Jolla on Garnet St or Pearl St has many Thai restaurants, albeit at a higher cost of $30-$50 per person. Personally, I give Hithai a 5-star rating for its delicious food and the friendly service, with special mention to Stan, the excellent manager, and his amiable staff.“
