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 restaurant came highly recommended from a friend who only eats gluten-free and vegan food.

This is a family owned restaurant and referred as a mom and pop shop. All their food is made in house and with fresh ingredients. They have freebies for starters and dessert. That was a surprise to me and ever so grateful 🙏 for enjoying it with gratitude.

I couldn't decide between a dish or soup. I decided on a dish and did not regret. Their dumplings and spring rolls was absolutely finger licking good. 😋

They're quick and service is service. They get pretty busy and stay busy. Parking is hard to find so be prepared to walk to the restaurant.

We will definitely return the next time we are in San Diego. Thank you for the pleasant experience. Great tasting food for sure.

Happy eating 😋
