“We got 5 dishes total and 4 cocktails. All the food was delicious, however every dish had a spicy and sweet flavor profile. While delicious, compared to other restaurants of this price point, they had quite an overlap in flavor. The beet salad, and clams were outstanding. On the maximalist cocktail menu, all drinks were unique and well presented. Highly recommend the “long season” cocktail. Ambience and decor is beautiful and definitely worth a try.“
“Excellent food and great service. A smaller menu but the dishes are some of the best I've had. We've been here three times and will continue to come back. Highly recommend the stir-fried green beans, Dan Dan noodles, pork soup dumplings and the beef noodle soup.“
“Review for Pick up Stix # 747 I Love this particular Pick up Stix, I come here all the time! The food is excellent & the staff is very friendly and helpful. When I have my next party I want to try Pick up Stix catering. I would prefer for the food come from this Pick up Stix(747). Today we were helped by Mario; he was wonderful. He helped me get back on the app., checked with us during our lunch to see if we needed anything. As an RN I'm impressed with the number of healthy choices on the menu & they're Yummy!“
“What a lovely, CLEAN, casual atmosphere on 3rd Avenue!The employees are kind and attentive and the food is freshly prepared but... The portions were very disappointing.We enjoyed a very tasty salmon "bento" box but... for $18+ you would expect to get a decent portion of rice to go with the salmon filet (decent portion of salmon but I was struggling to find any rice or Teriyaki sauce on the plate! See picture.) The vegetables were delicious!!! Only two, tiny fried gyoza come on a small bed of mixed salad. The ginger dressing for the salad is served separately and was good but it was so much compared to the amount of salad you get.The actual white plate that the food comes on is huge and adds to the illusion that the food portion is small, which it totally is. It did not scream "bento box."The lemongrass curry sauce on the wings was super yummy even though the wings could have been much crispier. They have canned sodas, canned Thai tea and green tea, Sapporo and other beers.I would reluctantly go back to try some other menu items but I won't expect good portions.“
“Wonderful new fusion concept in National City: Vietnam + Tapas. Great blend of flavors make an interesting menu. We tried the coconut ceviche, the kare curry and the spicy birria dumplings! Awesome. Staff are super friendly and excellent service. We came the second day it opened and we'll be back.“
“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.“
“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.“
“First time trying out this spot and I will definitely be coming back. We were there for the happy hour and there were tons of options on the hh menu. The regular menu is very extensive too. I ordered the crunchy roll and salmon nigiri, both were very good and had lots of flavor. It’s nice to have a quality sushi spot in Mission Valley, finally!“
“Facing East Noodle & Bar isn't your average ramen joint. It's an orchestra of tastebuds, conducted by fiery spice and led by the rich melody of their savory broths. My recent visit was a revelation, a testament to their culinary artistry.The star of the show? The Spicy Deluxe Paiko Ramen. Imagine this: a chorus of perfectly cooked noodles bathed in a soul-warming broth, each note hinting at the impending heat. Then, the star tenor arrives – a luxuriously breaded chicken paiko, crisp on the outside and impossibly juicy within. As you bite in, the floodgates open. The spice hits you in waves, not a brash assault but a carefully measured crescendo. It mingles beautifully with the chicken's gentle savoriness, creating a harmony that lingers long after the last bite.But the symphony wasn't complete without the pork dumplings. These delicate morsels were little pockets of perfection, filled with juicy pork and bursting with flavor. The accompanying chile aioli was the perfect counterpoint – a cool, creamy contrast that soothed the heat and accentuated the dumpling's savory notes. It was a masterclass in balance, a delightful interplay between fire and ice.Facing East isn't just a meal; it's an experience. It's a place where spice becomes an art form, and every bowl is a testament to their dedication to deliciousness. If you're looking for a ramen adventure that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more, look no further than Facing East Noodle & Bar. You won't be disappointed.Big thanks to Ana the chef who made this all possible!“
“I am in awe of the spicy ramen. Can’t eat it enough. I’ve never really enjoyed ramen but this place has made me a believer.Service has always been friendly and atmosphere is great for a quick dining experience.Parking can be tricky during peak dining times, lunch and dinner.“
“First off, I just want to say that the staff was very nice and that alone made me more hopeful for the food. I ordered the chow mein, orange chicken, and the drunken noodles, and wow all of them were delicious. The chow mein was absolutely packed with flavor and if it's too much for you, you can mix it with rice and the flavors will spread all throughout the rice. The drunken noodles were perfectly cooked and once again the flavors were on point making you want more. Finally, the orange chicken was my favorite. The sauce was perfect and the vegetables were coated in the orange sauce making me finish my vegetables (crazy for me). Overall, I definitely need to come back to try the other dishes on the menu and it seems to be sooner than later. If you're looking for some good reasonably priced thai food this will become your go to spot in lemon grove.Parking: Lots of parking nearby so nothing to worry about.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility throughout that mini plaza.“
“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 :)“
“Linlee's is near and dear to my heart. I have been coming here since I was a little girl and I'm glad they survived through the pandemic. I was fortunate enough to bring my own son here to pick up some take out. We ordered the superstars which were veggie chow mein, salt and pepper wings, honey sesame shrimp, and cream cheese wontons. Each entree comes with a choice of white rice or plain fried rice. We were able to get both. The veggie chow mein comes with a plethora of vegetables including carrots, bean sprouts, bamboo chutes, broccoli, green bell peppers etc. The flavor is savory without holding grease. The noodles were nice and soft with a nice bite. The cream cheese wontons never have a chance of lasting for 5 minutes because they are so good. Again, they don't retain grease so the crunch of the wonton and the soft cream cheese is so satisfying. The chicken wings stay nice and crunchy on the way home. The sesame honey shrimp is delicious especially when paired with the veggie chow mein. And for dessert try out the almond cookies. Please take a chance and support this small business!“
“I love coconut girl! Heads up though, they are no longer in PB next to dirty birds. I went there and it is now a Thai restaurant. Go to the address yelp gives on Boston. Copy and paste it into gps because hitting get directions will direct you to the PB location“
“The food quality is 1000% better than Panda Express. Also the prices here are great. For $10 ($11 and some change because of taxes) you get 3 entres and a side (chow mein or rice or half and half) and a soda. You simply cannot beat it (especially in this part of town).“
“What a delightful & delicious addition to the Grossmont's FoodCourt Center !!! This eatery spot only opens 2 days a week and the rest of the days you can catch them at a Farmers' market! so catch them whenever you can! Don't miss out on what they have to offer! The 2 entrees my husband and I ordered were flavorful and well seasoned. We both finished and left our boxes emptied and cleaned . The owner did an exceptional job by making sure if we had any food allergies when taking our orders. This is something that rarely happens where business owner take the cautious and careful step to ask and make sure customers are safe. So we really appreciated that very much! We can't wait to come back and catch you on the days the eatery spot opens! A MUST TRY!!!! :D“
