“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. ❤️❤️“
“Yerin was amazing! We had a wonderful experience at the Steamy Piggy. The atmosphere and service was great. It was our first time visiting but we will be returning very soon! We ordered the bbq pork baozi and ramen and were not disappointed. Definitely recommend!“
“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.“
“We tried the Pallea, Pork Tacos, Cubano de Carne, and Tallarin Verde chicken. All were delicious and fresh. We also tried one of each of their specialty drinks. Mojito won 1st place. Maracuya won 2nd. Sangria and Lychee tied for 3rd. Fun place to enjoy something new. Will return regularly.Kid-friendliness: Low key dining.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“
“It is an inviting place, as soon as you walk in the flower hanging over the ceiling. It looks like you are inside of a garden. Waitress was very friendly and she was often checking on us to see if we needed anything. The food was excellent and the portion was good to share with 2 if you want to try different things on the menu. Crab fried rice was a very big portion. Enough for more than 2 people to share.“
“I recommend!! Definitely a hidden gem! ?The food and service were great! Our server Sam was very attentive and kind.We got the Gnocchi Urbino which is gnocchi with white sauce, sausage, mushroom in a thick bread bowl. It was delicious and flavorful !! Rosemary was a nice touch. Perfect for sharing ?We also got the wings for happy hour and they were soooo yummy!Love the concept and unique combinations :)“
“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!“
“During restaurant week, I was enthralled by the vibrant colors that adorned the place. It's a delightful fusion of Latino and Asian flavors. A highlight was witnessing a seasoned female bartender patiently instructing a novice on crafting a virgin drink.“
“First time visiting this place. It was a cute, cozy atmosphere. It feels like you're in someone's home. They have a full bar and food menu. I ordered the steak and fries and the BF ordered a burger. We started with their calamari and drinks. I have to say, everything was GOOD. Food was fresh and delicious. My bloody mary was really good and well put together. Service could have been better, but I don't regret trying this place.“
“I've driven by countless times and never knew what it was. I won't make that mistake again. The food is varied and all good. From Pho to curry. Everything was made fresh, and we were all happy. The only miss was that there was no mint with the fried eggrolls.“
“What. A. Burger! A Spicy Pad Kaprao Pork Burger with a very flavorful spice that was out of this world. Sticky rice for the bun took it over the top in a way that I've never thought to try. The fried egg was the finishing touch that will get me back in the ship.“
“I have been to this specific restaurant once before at this location. Area is busy, parking is hard to find. I went on a Friday at around 3ish. Dining area was not full. I was seated right away. Order taken within rhe first 3 minutes of sitting down. Waitress had great attitude and checked on me regularly. Had a great time , happy, satisfied with the plate of rhe month, enough food. Same great flavor. The best miso soup in SD.“
“My experience at this restaurant was exceptional thanks to the excellent service of the cashier Evelin and the delicious food prepared by the talented cook Carlos. From the moment I walked in, Evelin greeted me with a warm smile and impeccable service. She was attentive to every detail and made sure my visit was completely satisfactory. Furthermore, the dish that Carlos served me exceeded all my expectations. The presentation was stunning and the taste was simply delicious. You could see the care and passion he put into each preparation. Without a doubt, this restaurant stands out for its incredible team and its excellent quality in every aspect. I will definitely be back soon for another memorable experience!"“
“We love eating here. Carla the cashier is super friendly, very attentive and gave us information on how to earn points towards our food since we eat here all the time. She was very helpful and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend the tofu dishes!“
“We sat on the patio. I’m here from out of town and have to eat clear liquids. The gal at the checkout suggested the shiitake & daikon soup. It was delicious!!! I got some more to go. My friends ordered from the appetizers and sides menu. The portions were very generous and delicious. If I’d live here, I’d come here often.“
“Love this little spot for Thai. They are very friendly and they have great dishes. I always see the place packed. Be careful or patient when coming at busy times because they do have limited seating but it is worth it.Parking: Plenty of lot parkingKid-friendliness: Yes“
“I've been looking for a Thai place that has a good panong salmon. This is the place. Even though it was take-out, it was beautifully presented. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The panong was lovely, and lots of broccoli and carrots. Friendly service during pickup. I'd definitely do eat-in here.“
“Everything here was perfect, excellent customer service, lovely dining experience and tasty Pho!! I've had a lot of Pho in my day and this place made it to the books! Ate every single bit! Rare Steak and Brisket were absolutely fresh!!“
“I don't normally review fast food locations but I left this Waba Grill extremely happy. I enjoy ordering takeout with Waba through the app due to the convenience of having your food ready for pickup when you arrive but have noticed they often neglect the small requests. I frequent the veggie bowl but don't particularly enjoy steamed carrots and have lately been asking them to be omitted from my order. At my local Waba, they ignore it and I disappointingly open my order to see carrots present. But here, they nailed it! It may seem like something trivial to be so pleased with but it's the small things that set aside chains like this. I could have gotten lucky with my order but I like to be optimistic and think that this team cares.Either way, this Waba nailed my order. I'll have to frequent it since it's on my way home to check for consistency. As of now, I'm a happy camper.“
“We are regulars here because the service is top notch, the food/sushi is excellent, and the bartenders remember us and our favorite drinks every time we grab a seat at the bar. The Rose Roll is second to none, the Ramen is bomb, and my partner loves the Lemon Cilantro Roll as well. It can get really busy late night on the weekends and sushi during these times can take a long time to come out (understandably) so plan ahead, be patient and kind. Mahalo!Parking: The ground floor of the parking structure next door is free for restaurant parking! And it has EV Chargers!“
“Love Khan's. The food is amazing and the service is the best. I especially liked Sam...great service and great personality...so funny! Thanks for an enjoyable time each time we go for lunch or dinner. Happy hour is fantastic! Great ambiance!“
“Very good Asian inspired bowls. The pork belly bowl with rice was good and the umami gravy on top was delicious. I got delivery and the bowl was still fresh and hot. I'll definitely be ordering from here again.Update: the chicken karaage bowl wasn't that good after sitting for a while but I bet it's good when it's fresh and crisp at the restaurant“
“Try outside of your comfort zone and you’ll realize all the food in this place is bomb. The owners are so nice and polite, if you have questions about the menu, they provide honest feedback/suggestions. Small space, but perfect for take out so you can enjoy back at home! Serving sizes is perfect in their containers and for the price in my honest opinion.“
“The food at this downtown location (and the North Park location) is always fantastic. The pork belly broth (Tonkatsu) in the Underbelly Ramen is flavorful with just enough salt.I also love that they have sparkling water on tap (available without an additional charge).The wait staff are patient and fun! The bar at this location is very fun and picturesque. It's an excellent photo spot. I also like that they have seating upstairs.“
“I was in the area and have been wanting to try their souffle pancakes. It was SO good here. Ordered the Salted Caramel one to share with a friend.We will need to come back with a large group and order different ones so we can try the others. It was a 30+ minute Wait. I got a lychee rose refresher and that was pretty good too!“
“3.5 stars. I love coming to this place to get some work done. The space is spacious and has plenty of tables. Has free wifi. Noise level quiet enough while I work on my laptop. They have a self-order station, so I don't usually talk to an employee. Iced honey black tea tastes good, no complaints whatsoever. Tried their fried tofu and could use some more seasoning or definitely needs the included sauce (ranch), but I still demolished the whole thing. Although many tables, half of them seemed wobbly and would move every time I would type or write, but there are some sturdier ones when you find the right one. The tables were clean but the bathrooms aren't. Although I didn't talk to someone to order, the times I did interact with someone was a hit or miss. Sometimes they greet you when you come in/say thank you when you take your drink.... and sometimes they don't. No worries though, I think the best part is the fact that I have another place to get some work done at.“
“I absolutely love this restaurant. I'm fact I would say it's my favorite place to eat in this entire town bar none. The entire staff is courteous and well managed. As you enter it's clear their goal is to get you seated as quickly as possible even if there is a waiting list. The bar will be more than happy serve you as well and the staff there is equally courteous and attentive. The food is always fresh and in my opinion very reasonably priced. I've eaten here about a dozen times and have always left happy. Highly recommended ++“
“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.“
“This place is dope!! After a phenomenal dinner experience, it’s earned our favorite sushi spot in Chula Vista.Happy hour Monday through Wednesday is all day. Lucky us, we had dinner on a Wednesday night here.Immediately loved the vibes.Drinks were great. I loved the mango martini with chili. Our food was just as good. Lemon cilantro roll was the perfect amount of fresh fish, lemon and yummy goodness. The crunchy roll wasn’t bad either! I loved how fresh the shrimp tempura is. We also loved the seared tuna nigiri on the HH menu. It was super spicy and had a smoky kick. We loved it!We were most surprised at the top tier service. All the employees were kind. Everyone greeted us when we got there and when we left. Our food came out soooo fast! I couldn’t believe it. All of our rolls were ready within 5 minutes of ordering it. Insane! Shout out to our server Nika. She recommended the spicy ponzu sauce and I loved it so much.The restaurant is almost like a club. If it’s your birthday, there’s a mini show with cow bells, a happy birthday sign, lights and all.“
“The food is amazingly delicious it definitely hits. I loved the lemon salmon roll Their service is fantastic. The place gives you mom and pop vibes so it feels homey. Sucks they just closed the place down hopefully they open a different location.“
“I like the taste of the crispy wings here, especially the spicy ones. They will be perfect for me if the batter is a little lighter. I also like the bulgogi bibimbap. It has the good balanced amount of rice, vegetables and meat. I do not care for the sweet sauce that comes with it but as long as the sriracha sauce is available I am happy.“

“I was craving filipino food. I wanted to try a new place. I usually don't eat sisig. I trying my hubby's sisig fries. It was ?! I got the Güd burger. I didn't want to share it with my hubby. ? My kiddos shared corn beef hash with egg. They loved it. The portion is a good size.I told my kids once they are done with eating. I'll buy ube churros. The cook must of read my mind and came out with churros.10 out of 10 highly recommend!I ordered extra churros for my sister in-law and Lola to try.“
“I actually like the spot except the orange chicken which was a nasty or old and we also placed an order online and decided to pay the restaurant when we got there so then they call me and say it's a big order we need a credit card over the phone and they also said, do you wanna leave a tip? Order was only like $60 I guess but should I be tipping if it's a pick up order?“
“This is a nice little pho and sushi restaurant tucked away at 6th after the freeway on ramp. Sushi and pho are the perfect SoCal combo. I ordered a large bowl of the House special pho (pho dac biet), a small hot sake, and a rainbow roll.Everything was delicious and I was stuffed. The sushi was skillfully and quickly prepared and the deluxe pho had great soup with the right saltiness. On top of that the place is spacious with incredibly high ceilings, great big TVs and cool lights.I'll be back again and I'm sure the spot may be perfect for karaoke, a games night, or even watching sports games or Ru Paul's Drag Race.“
“obis sushi is a restaurant that I ran into by chance on one of my many deliveries through the San Diego area 3 years ago. the first thing that caught my attention was the nice atmosphere of the restaurant. it gives you a very home comfortable feeling that gives you peace of mind and really soothes you in to be able to enjoy your meal. the music in the restaurant is present but at a low volume so as not to be intrusive when you have friends with you and are enjoying a good talk with each other all the while relishing in your meal. This brings me to the main part, the food. The food is nothing short of amazing and very generous when it comes to portion sizes. While sushi is the main calling card, they provide a good amount of alternatives for those looking for other options like yakisoba katsudon plates curry and so on. My personal favorites are the ex-chargers roll and the dynamite roll. They also carry a bevy of alcoholic beverages from asahi to Sapporo hot sake and a selection of wine (That's just based off the time I ordered a plum wine). Finally from the owner to the waitresses, the restaurant staff provide a top notch service and are always in communication with the diners informing them of seasonal specials and providing changes to the menu that are within reason of the meal options being provided. They stay on top of providing refills without keeping you waiting and all around make you feel at home with a very social personality all the while holding a strong sense of professionalism not really seen in many other restaurants. If you get a chance and are in the area I would whole heartedly recommend you try this place out. it Is a little tucked away to The right of the aero dr freeway exit and looks like a hole in the wall shop from the outside, however it's anything but in this case.“
“We were in San Diego this weekend visiting friends and family for Easter and decided to have dinner at PF Changs. What a great decision, we were lucky enough to be seated in Bell’s section and we were impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail from the moment we were seated until we left. The food was fresh and hot, ambience was great we will definitely return next time we are in town.“
“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.“
“The fries are so delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of them but the bulgogi fries, Hawaiian chicken chipotle, and the poke fries are to die for! The fries are nice and crispy and hold up really well through the sauce, which they don’t skimp out on! Build your own boba is so easy and they have a great amount of teas, slushes, and toppings. The staff is hands down the best part! They’re always super friendly and helpful! Can’t rave enough about this place!“
“The food was very great and very flavorful in comparison to a KBBQ place. The server we had was super nice and eligible about any questions that we had he was very great at attending us a little there were periods where no one would come to check on us at all. Overall it was very good but a little pricey. I would recommend this place.Parking: Location is right by Trader Joe’s so parking situation can be tricky has many people are shopping at Trader Joe’s“

“Great atmosphere and service. Baos are light and fluffy and well seasoned. Flavors in the crunchy shrimp bao are especially good. And who can say no to that adorable face? Recommend going early if you want to try more flavors (they were out of the chicken and beef ones that I was hoping to try ). The waitress helped me come up with a great secondary option though! Need to come back to try their ramen another day.“
“Best Filipino food! I was in Los Angeles and I came across with their restaurant Kusina San Diego I was really happy because I saw the Kare-kare which is my ultimate favorite and I've been craving with the dish. Yes!! it was really delicious. Highly recommended!“
“I love this place great quality food and they don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything else you’d like they don’t hurry you they are just amazing and the food omg it’s so delicious and healthy I love this place I wouldn’t go anywhere elseVegetarian options: They have great dishes just has to be what you like to eat and I love this place and the managers and employees were wonderful and such amazing customer serviceDietary restrictions: They had a wide variety of vegetables and great dishesKid-friendliness: They greeted my child with a warm smile and recommended great options for her“
“The wait staff was attentive and prompt. Our food was delicious. Special requests were honored with a smile and at minimal to no extra charge. I added avocado to my poke and it only cost $1!My friend forgot her leftovers and one of the staff ran out to the parking lot to give it to her. That's unheard of and was very appreciated! Great experience! We will be back.Parking: Always plenty of parking“
“We came here for New Years Eve and had an amazing time! This is definitely my new favorite spot to go out in San Diego! Loved how there wasn't a huge line to get in or at the bar to order drinks. There were a lot of people but it wasn't super packed/cramped so there was actually space for you to move around/not always be bumping into someone. METE plays the best music out of every bar I've been to in both PB or Gaslamp. I'm not a huge fan of hearing pop/country/ when I'm out so highly recommend coming here if you love rap!“
“Amazing staff. Nice people make the experience pleasant.The food is decent. I had one roll that was very rice-heavy, and one roll with pieces that were way too big, so it was a gigantic mess to eat. They do give you a lot of ginger and Wasabi.Prices are average to high. They have "half price" rolls, but the menu prices are so high on those that what you get is exactly what you pay for. There's no deal. Also you pay more if you order to go. And the prices are way higher than what Google maps shows, it would be nice if they would update that.I think they should just be honest and straightforward with pricing and not try to fake like they are doing you a favor. They aren't.This place is definitely not bad but it's not a place I would make a special trip for.Parking: It's tough if you come at dinner time and the lot is fullKid-friendliness: Family friendly, nice patioWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“Great food, I need to try more dishes at this place.Parking: Inside the mall dining ir take out, so parking is plenty.Kid-friendliness: Being in the mall, there are places for kids to enjoy at.Wheelchair accessibility: A whole lot of space and ramps for wheelchair access. Button for disabled easy open access also.“
“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“
“Just had a quick meals with my boss. OMG, I didn't expect too much but I was very surprised and overwhelmed by the quality of the dishes and taste. By the way, great services comes in no charge. Must visit place if uou are in San Diego.“
“Okay the food is really tasty and full of flavor. The atmosphere is okay younger crowd. The wings were fire. I was blown away by the drumsticks tender, juicy, and flavorful. I was slightly taken aback by the prices but considering we are in America, deal with it!“
“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.“
