It's truly a microbrewery almost a nano brewery. My favorites are the Irish Red and the Irish Stout. There is occasionally a pale or a blonde that can't be passed up.”

“I got the 'Chef's Choice Sashimi Bento Box' with a salad. My boyfriend got 'Katsu Don'. We also shared a bowl of Garlic Edamame and the 'Dancing Tuna' sushi roll.

The bento box was good. The fish was fresh, the gyoza was the perfect consistency and tasty, the side salad was marinated well with the dressing.

The Katsu Don was also really well put together and was super filling and tasty.

The garlic edamame was like no edamame Ive had before. The sauce they put on the edamame made it the best I've ever had and well portioned out.

The sushi roll we shared was the perfect balance of flavor and textures. Not to spicy. It enhanced the fish flavor with accentuation and made it blend well together.

I think I found another top sushi place.”

Recommended flavors in no particular order are spicy, soy garlic, yangnyeom (seems to be a wonderful balance of spicy and soy garlic with a bit of sweet), and their plain (no sauce) shows just how masterful they are at their primary product. Wings, dummies, strips. It's all good. Great for takeout or dine in. They have some unique spirits and cocktails as well.”

I ordered the ham and eggs which came with fresh fruit and pancakes for only $12.99! Everything was flavorful and hot. The only negative was that they didn't serve our pancakes until after we had finished the rest of our meal. They kept telling us they were working on them, so I assume there was some sort of kitchen issue. Not a huge deal, and the pancakes were hot and fresh once we did get them. We would definitely return!”

My coffee was great, far better than other coffee shops I’ve tried in National City, and was made surprisingly quick. The malasadas were warm and fresh, but some of the fillings were a little too artificial to my liking. Service was also great, the young girl at the front definitely gave off that Aloha vibe, and guided me through the menu as I was a little confused at first. Got my malasadas within 15 minutes, would recommend.”

Chamango

“I had an amazing experience at this gem of a spot! The food is super fresh and full of flavor—especially the tosticeviche and torta Hawaiiana, both packed with vibrant ingredients. The chamango was a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy, and the horchata was smooth and refreshing. The place itself is very clean and welcoming, with friendly service and a comfortable vibe. You can really taste the care they put into everything they serve. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic and satisfying Mexican antojitos!”

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?”

“Craft beer places are a dime a dozen in SD, but I knew after one visit that Machete is easily going to become a favorite water hole to visit when I am in the mood for a good variety of craft beer. They have a bunch of different styles, and a selection of beers from breweries that I either haven't heard of or never tasted before. Love that. It gets boring seeing the same 3-4 breweries at every place that offers craft beer in SD.Vibe is super chill, casual and divey.Staff here is really nice. I didn't get his name, but he let me try a few different beers and gave great recommendations based on the styles I like.No food here, but the Papi’s Teppanyaki food truck is here from time to time. Check their IG for their schedule. Not sure if there are ever other options since I only recently found out about this place.Cheers!Edit: I came back a second time and the super cool bartender's name is Jett. If you come in on a day he's manning the bar, you're in great hands. :)

Some may take mark down this Cafe for its simplistic decor; but others, like myself, find it charming. And after trying their dishes, it only adds delight to find a nice whole in the wall that let's their dishes speak for themselves.
I recommend dining in because you will get a serving of their egg drop soup and it is absolutely worth trying. It's hearty flavor reminds you of the soup you wish you had on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather.
This is an establishment that deserves its business and I am already planning on coming back and bringing more family to experience it themselves.”

“My childhood restaurant. I started coming here since 2014. I still come here in 2024. The food is still good. The price for the food is the only problem since it’s a bit higher than before. People that served the food are very nice and chill.”

“Drive thru for the famous chicken sandwich. Long wait, excellent sandwich. Lots of crunch and good flavors, but not salty. And the pickles, whoa. Finally got my chicken sandwich after 2 weeks of trying. Long lines that backed up into streets, even freeways, getting there hours too early. That’s a great sandwich.”
