“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.“
“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.“
“A new Pinoy food place in Chula Vista area. The location is a bit more isolated from commercial areas. The dining area is a lil bit smaller but it feels good and comfortable to eat those meals freshly prepared when they served up to you. I ordered TAPSILOG, which is a combination plate of beef tapa, sunny side up egg and garlic rice. The beef tapa is very tender and very garlicky. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! For dessert, I have buko Pandan. Creamy and sweetly flavored. Super like it! Both food were served about 15 minutes and the staff has offered more choices on their menu. Staff is very friendly and helpful to recommend their best seller amongst the food choices on their menu. I am happy that there are more Filipino restaurants popping out in Chula Vista. Another place for Filipinos to pig out and enjoy! Highly recommended to everyone. Will come back to this place soon to try more of their food in the menu.“
“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.“
“My first visit here. My Daughter had the salmon salad And I had the beef sandwich with fries. my daughter said that’s the best salmon she ever had. I had to try it got a piece from my daughter and it was delicious.. my sandwich was medium rare just how I like it. Very humble people love the location and atmosphere. People tend to forget this is not a fast food restaurant. I read other comments that it took forever to get your food. Don’t expect a McDonald’s service expect a five star restaurant.. The best thing to do if you’re in a hurry or a crunch of time order ahead. But I like to enjoy my food and take my time because life is too short. I’m in no hurry.. I will visit this place again and again. Whenever I’m in town thank you keep up with the delicious food and courtesy to customers.. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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“
“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.“
