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!“

“Teriyaki chicken and The Spicy Ramen was delicious!!!“

“This is actually two different restaurants combined; Chinese and Japanese. The Japanese food was good (but the teriyaki beef was a little overdone and I wasn't a fan of the salad dressing). The staff is very attentive and the food portions are huge but very inexpensive. Definitely going back.“

“We've been going for years, and it's still my favorite, for the Spring Rolls and the smoothies, but the curries and phõ are quite excellent, too.

And our kids love #99: Broccoli & Shrimp noodle plate.

There's a large variety of dishes.

The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“I went in and ordered for takeout. Besides the fact that all the employees stopped and looked at me like I was a mass murderer, my food came out in ten minutes. My wings were hot, crispy and delicious. My vegetable soft noodles were so good. Food is fantastic.“

“good food and awesome customer service“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Happy Hour at Artifact is the highlight of my week! I always look forward to those afternoons when I can wrap up an early day at work and walk over to unwind.

Kendra and Kelly are the best—they always greet me warmly and, knowing sparkling rosé is my go-to, pour a glass right after saying hello. The ambience is light and relaxing, and the conversation is consistently pleasant and entertaining—it’s the perfect way to transition from work mode to relaxation.

All of the food here is absolutely delicious, but the ahi crudo and beet salad are my favorites. They’re fresh, flavorful, and never disappoint.

Artifact has mastered the art of creating a welcoming, delicious, and enjoyable happy hour experience. Highly recommend!“

“the service is great and fast plus the food is awesome 👌 💯“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“Everything noodles from all over Asia. Except, no pho. Mainly Thai and Chinese food.

We ordered:

-Spicy Szechuan chicken wontons: You could tell these were made fresh on the spot and frozen. Great size and spicy sauce.

-Fried chicken wings dirty flavor: 6 wings were evenly fried and had a dry rub.

-Dan Dan Noodles: Typical Dan Dan dish has the numbing spice but not these. It does have the peanut nutty sauce with ground pork and many slices of cha shu pork belly.

-Laksa curry noodle soup: This is a Malaysian dish that I don’t see often. It has coconut milk, lots of chicken and shrimp. Reminds me of Vietnamese noodles.

-Hainanese chicken over rice: Every time I see this dish, I would order it. It’s all in the sauce and I would have to say I was disappointed because it wasn’t the ginger scallion sauce. They use ginger garlic soy sauce. The steamed slices of chicken breast were really dry. Least favorite dish of all.

We ordered leave 3 spice for the dishes and wasn’t spicy. Only the spicy wonton had a tiny kick.

This place serves alcohol and has beer on tap as well Thai beer and non alcoholic drinks.

Looking forward to coming back to try other noodle dishes. I also loved that the prices are reasonable for the portions that you get.“

“Enjoy the pho 🍜 at this restaurant is very delicious 🤤“

“It was good“

“Vegan ramen is amazing! Went there twice during my trip down there! Highly recommend!“

“My order was for takeout....and it was ready right on time. Everything was absolutely delicious and prices were good! The Satay chicken was tender and flavorful....Pad Woon Sen was fresh and light with crispy vegetables. Cream cheese wontons were great and served as dessert. The portions were generous with plenty left over for a second meal. Pretty sure Little Thai Kitchen is now my favorite Thai food spot!😊“

“Good noodles and decent amount of food for a relatively cheap price with quick service - I’ll definitely go back. I got spicy noodle and my partner got Bangkok spices noodle - honestly almost identical with slightly different taste in the sauce, but both were yummy. They ask what spice level 1-10 you want and I got a 6, but it wasn’t very spicy. They had extra chili oil, sriracha, etc. for the table if you ask though“

“Loved the food here!! It is a small but clean and cute restaurant the food is so good! I called in my order with no problem. The service is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. We tried the larb salad, red and green curry, pad see ew noodle, curry puffs and we were not disappointed! The Curry puffs are a must try!!! I've never seen them at any other Thai place before, my all time favorite!!! I love quaint places like this! We will definitely be returning! It's in a small shopping center so lots of parking is available. Lots of options on the menu and not overpriced. I look forward to trying the pineapple fried rice next time.“

“Another hiding Chinese restaurant I haven’t tried was just around the corner. The first thing that caught my eye was the Roast Duck ?, although dry, I was looking for the sauce for it but there was none. My main go to was crispy friend noodles , I got the combination one , the combo was great but didn’t see much vegetables in it. My favorite that evening was the beef chow fun. I’m not a fan of fat noodles but this one ☝️ was good. Overall the food was great! I would like to try the other recipes. Go there and and bring your friends to try ?“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“I would 100% recommend these sushi. No but seriously, is there any negative I can point to about the sushi rolls I've had numerous times at this place?? NO! I even drive from Carlsbad to get them. which would maybe be a negative??“

“Been eating here since I was about 5, now at 40 I could finish their bowl on my own thank goodness ?, thank goodness the flavor is still the same. Same owners/cook since i was 5,. Tried other restaurants in LA china town and still not as good as this one. Even though i live farther away mow, i still drive there to get their special noodle soup (been eating since i was 5), eveyone i introduced this restuarant too now loves it. People who loves pho, once they try there noodles soup they can't do pho anymore. Fried egg noodles soup also to die for, including their thick fried noodles, i can go on forever with all their different dishes that will show you what asain/homemade style food is. I've tasted many different chinese food from here to Seattle/Mexicali and this to me is still the restaurant that others try to match up too. ??????“

“Soooo yummy 😋 thank you for the delicious fresh thai food 😋❤️❤️ i went walking around the liberty market and decided to buy thai and some pasta from another restaurant ❤️😎
They are both deeeelicious 😋❤️ . It was very busy but if you kept moving and looking at the same time it wasn't that bad . The staff at this restaurant were so nice and helpful and moving so fast to get everyone's order out 😎👍

Vegetarian options: They have veggies or tofu for the opinions

Parking: Big parking lot around the whole campus , and its free😎

Kid-friendliness: Definitely 😁 because kids love soup and noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but it gets busy in the market , so it might be uncomfortable“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“The food is great! But the girl at the counter needs lessons in customer service and also an attitude adjustment. This is the only reason that deters me from going there more often.“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“Food is always good and Brady is a riot!!“

“I am so thankful that my daughter one night was randomly craving soup dumplings here in escondido. I have NEVER had them before but she had seen a YouTube video about them and was dying to try them. We then stumbled upon to dumplings and more and boy am I glad! The soup dumplings (aka xio long bao) are amazing! Everything that I have ordered from here is nothing but superb: lamb dumplings, wontons in chili oil, Mongolian beef, Szechuan beef...all of it has been great and everyone is so nice! Place is well kept as well. I can't tell you how often I crave the food from here. Please try you won't be disappointed 😍

Kid-friendliness: This is my new go to place to have mother daughter dates with my 9 year old.“

“Man, the food is delicious. Be ready to wait for your order. If you don't want to wait, call ahead. Yang fry rice is off the chain ⛓️ ? last dish I ordered was the Black Bean ? ?. Good stuff. The house beef was very flavorful. Order ahead if you don't want to wait.“

“Classic..................“

“🙂👍 Kai and her staff are awesome and do a great job!“

“The food was delicious. The music and the vibe of the place was amazing. The staff was attentive and on point!“

“Loved the vibe in the restaurant! The food was so delicious, fresh and fast. We barely waited any time at all for the food. Good portions as well! We will definitely go back before we leave San Diego.“

“Yummy spicing and generous portions. The only downside is that they use a lot of single use plastics, including for dining in, such as cups and lids for ginger tea and to go boxes for spring rolls. Their focus on healthy food should extend to the environment“
