This is just one of the GOAT places in San Diego. It is a hidden gem. It has just the best vibes. The prices are awesome. Where can you get free salad in the beginning and free ice cream at the end of your meal??!? We know the owner well as we are regulars and he is famous for cooking on his day off - he cooks all day every day and he still cooks on his day off! The menu is reflective, as it is creative as it is flavorful. This is a place that locals to the area love. I didnt take a picture of my food because I always forget, but our favorites are the chicken hot pot and the miso ramen. This place has GREAT vegetarian options overall as well. They make HOMEMADE TOFU IN HOUSE PEOPLE!
The restaurant is characterized as a Vietnamese restaurant but it’s actually more “Asian fusion”, but it really is more than that because the owner grew up all over South east Asia
If you are looking for very fresh, healthy, high quality but homemade feel type of food, you are in the right place. I have a very picky taste for food in terms of quality and I’m happy to eat here any day! I have never ordered a dish that disappointed me! Dining in is always better than take out!
It is a fusion restaurant so we don’t expect very authentic flavors but a fusion flavor which I LOVE!!
Also if you are vegan, they’ve got you covered - even a whole different wok for vegan dishes!
I cannot share enough how fabulous this restaurant is. The food was amazing, fresh and so full of flavor. Its the best Chinese Restaurant we have visited in years. The service was impeccable and ever so friendly. We are great full for our time spent there and will be back!
I’ve been traveling through the US for five weeks now and this has BY FAR been the best restaurant I’ve eaten at.
It already starts with complimentary salad, lots of water and a huge variety of vegetarian option. The food was amazing, portions were big and the overall quality was great. The Tofu here is just a blessing!
The complementary (and very delicious) ice cream rounded-off things perfectly. I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant to absolutely everyone. Don’t forget to bring your tip money - they sure deserve it!
This place has a huge selection of very creative vegetarian and meat dishes. My wife and I have been blown away by the flavor in every single item we have ordered at this place. Every dish is so flavorful and unique (at least for a vegetarian eating Asian food in the US.)
Their sake and liquor selection is also amazing. We have tired beers and sakes there. Our favorite so far has been the Kikusui Junmai sake. Its super smooth and hits the spot. It pairs very well with most of their food.
The cherry on top is the free, delicious salad that you get at the beginning and the free ice cream at the end. When we first went there we were not expecting this and were pleasantly surprised.
They are also very good about accommodating low sodium requests like many top ramen places these days.
