My boyfriend and I are dumpling lovers but have to travel 20+ mins to go to Convoy St and satisfy our dumpling cravings but after some googling around I found this gem! I love it so much I took the time to write this review lol. Dumplings and wontons are amazing! Pleeeease get the wonton soup and chilli wonton my two favorite!!!! TOP NOTCH! Soup dumpling and pork dumpling amazing and to finish off, the sweet golden buns ?? yuuuuum! The servers are always very nice and attentive and service is fast. we always leave with a smile and are so happy to have a place we can go for dumplings so close to us now! Go! you won’t regret it!“

“Delicious food! Excellent service!“

“The food is alright. It’s enough to satisfy your cravings for Filipino food. The price is a bit expensive, but it's understandable since we are in California. The facility is very clean, and the ambiance is quiet. If you're familiar with Filipino food and want takeout, just order online so you won't have to wait. Make sure to call them after ordering online because, for some reason, they are using two systems, and sometimes it glitches. Your order might not show up, or the establishment might not get a notification, leading to a longer wait. The wait time could be short or long, depending on how busy they are. Also, if you want a wider selection of Filipino food, try Jerry’s Grill at the Westfield Mall in Bonita.“

“Always an amazing experience at Animae!“

“The food and service here never disappoint! Everything is always on point, and An, our waitress, is the sweetest, she really goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The soy garlic wings were incredibly delicious, packed with so much flavor that we couldn’t get enough. We always leave here happy and satisfied!“

“Omg this place is cute af! And so delish and the staff is so nice. Their crab congee is bomb.com and I had their minty mojito mocktail (cute lil alliteration) and it was so fresh and yummy.

Can't wait to come try more things!“

“Best food, drink, service and atmosphere I have experienced in a long time. Rivals Michelin restaurants.“

“This is a cozy family restaurant conveniently located right off the 94 freeway. It has an open kitchen so you can hear all of the sizzling, see the preparation and enjoy the aromas of your meal. We ordered alot for a group of six. The soups were very good, the food was excellent not too sweet and very satisfying. We are making this our Asian food stop in San Diego.

Parking: Conveniently located right off California State Route 94 (SR-94) in the Rancho San Diego Village shopping center to have a nice meal before or after shopping.“

“We love going to White Elephant. My top favorite is their White Elephant noodle soup. It comes with house-made knife cut noodles that’s super chewy, and the broth is full of chicken flavor infused with garlic oil. The white pepper adds perfect amount of spicy kick to it. I get cravings for this soup all the time but especially when it’s chilly. Haven’t found any other Thai restaurants that make noodle in-house! IMO, this is definitely their specialty.

The Lao sausage comes with the dipping sauce and they are so good together. Love that bursting lemongrass flavor and chunks of meat inside the sausages. The sauce is mildly spicy and so delicious.

The garlic pepper chicken is prepared differently from what we’re used to. It’s deep fried in crispy light batter and covered in their house special garlic sauce with red peppers. Mildly spicy and crispy, it’s also full of flavor.

We weren’t a fan of the mango chicken dish despite its fame, mostly because we prefer our food savory rather than sweet. All in all, the batter was perfectly crispy and the idea of using mango was refreshing.

Hope other people will find their favorite dishes at this lovely restaurant run by the hard working, passionate, sweet family!“

“Got takeout for the family and the food was delicious with big portions. We ordered bbq pork fried rice, chow mein, egg rolls, and salt and pepper wings which came hot and fresh. Customer service was friendly as well. We'll definitely come back here.“

“I found Juanbachi at the Rancho Santa Fe farmers market and all I can say is OMG they are so AMAZING!!“

“Cute little restaurant with Thai, Chinese, and Cambodian fare. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious food. Would visit again if I was back in the area!“

“Certainly my favorite restaurant in San Diego! The food is fresh, healthy and bursting with flavor! My daughter loves the chicken rice bowl and purple taro milk tea. My personal favorite is the lychee ice tea. It is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer day! The staff is truly wonderful. They are always so friendly, courteous and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. They are definitely the type of people you call family.“

“Wow!! They have the BEST happy hour! See picture attached! I had the garlic edamame, from the nigiri option I had salmon and crunchy roll from the happy hour menu. I decided to try their house salad, it was bigger than expected. The house dressing has ginger and it was fresh and delicious. Nice and light option to start off with. The nigiri salmon was delicious and fresh great portion as well for $6.50! Wow! I added the lemon & cilantro roll and OMG it was my favorite out of everything!! I highly recommend it. The staff was attentive and friendly! Thank you Monse for your recommendations. Rubén the manager at the time also came to check up on me, I greatly appreciate the attention and ensuring I was having a good experience. Plenty of parking! I also learned that they Monday night all you can eat sushi for $39.95! Call and Double check in case there are changes. I’ll post menu options. Patio area is great, especially on a summer day like today! I can’t wait to come back! To the owner, Ruben is incredible and Monse took great care of me.“

“Always hits the spot! We usually get their Tom Kha with steamed tofu, Pad See Ew with mock duck, & the Panang curry with fried tofu or mock chicken. Their cocktails are pretty good too. All reasonable prices with large portions, & so easy to make everything vegan. Service is great & they're open late every night. What a gem!“

“The food is delicious & the portions are sharable. We tried various sushis and so far all are delicious it’s hard to choose which one to eat next. The other day they had metallic music which was actually pretty good & this time they had pop the music varies but I enjoy its at a perfect volume. Also there is two Latino guys that always so helpful, give an outstanding customer service, and always on task so far they are the only two guys I’ve ever seen clean the restrooms. I always have a great experience when eating out here.

Parking: If you park in the shopping center there is plenty of parking but you may also park on the street there is like a few spots but they charge 2 hours and across the street is free.

Kid-friendliness: The Latino guys are always trying to interact with my children even suggest foods they might like and conversate with them.“

“They were not the best soup dumplings ive had but were still decent. If I came back I would try to get something a little different. Love the vibe but its a little too crowded and not a lot of seating. Other than that its a perfect little spot! Workers were also really nice so thats a plus!!“
