Went there last night for dinner & everything we ordered was tasteless & gross. Will not be coming back!
Food is amazing! Some of the best. The pork fried rice is to die for. 4 stars only because the service when ordering was not the best. I couldn’t understand what was being told to me and the person at the counter seemed frustrated.
EXTREMELY upset. We ordered our food to go (2 items) at 10pm, got a buzzer to wait for the food, patiently waited an HOUR and still had no buzz (wanted to give them the benefits of the doubt that they were busy), went up to the counter to check in on it and they brought it out right away. I told them we had no buzz and they told me it was broken… got cold food and waited an hour in the very heavy smokey area. Completely terrible. Waste of my money and time. Will never return

So far this place has my favorite Pho in San Diego. The beef broth has such a good flavor. I like the soft brisket meat.
Great place to eat if you don’t know what kind of Asian food you are wanting. They have something for everyone. Fun decor.

Expensive, no table service, and the food is just not very good. Too many different cuisines and nothing tastes authentic. The best thing ever was the sisig tacos. I would go back just for those. And the papaya salad was also tasty, but not spicy. The lumpia was the worst I've ever had, they were mushy and flavorless (probably previously frozen) and I don't think they were actually lumpia. Just spring rolls. The chicken wings were just okay, not enough crispiness, salt, or pepper. Combination fried looked good, but it only had one shrimp. Bao buns were more bun than filling and tasted like they were previously frozen. My boyfriend enjoyed his pho, but it was like fast food pho and the broth had little flavor. Just get the sisig tacos and papaya salad and you'll enjoy your meal.
I ORDERED THE MEATBALL SOUP., MEATBALLS WERE TO HARD AND RUBBERIZED.

Why the low reviews? The décor is vibrant, food fantastic and service superb! The restaurant is so cute one would think they need table service but I’m not sure if this is what Sycuan was looking for. Ultimately, I want to say it’s somewhat of a quick table service eat fast and go when you please more for the gambler on the go. LOL Pay and order take your number find a seat….
Ordered Wor Wonton (Large) – Delicious with 6 pcs of good size wontons, 3pcs med size shrimp, ton of pork, beef, carrots, mushrooms and bok choy! If this is the base for the pho (which probably is) I can guarantee you the pho here is as bomb!
Salt and pepper wings – Cheehoo the salt and pepper wings were a perfect paring with the wor wonton! Came out piping hot and seasoned with perfection.
More than enough for two hungry gals, even had left overs!

have ate here twice, both times the food is not worth it, and does not satisfy your appetite ?, but once you're here there's not many options to eat at so why would they care about how their food tastes.

Taste was mediocre and the quantity of shrimp was disappointing.

Charming place, beautiful, and what can we say about the food... Delicious... everything there is perfect, the employees are very friendly and serve you with courtesy, the food is made right there, all fresh and very well seasoned, the decoration very special, everything pink , and as you already know Buddhas have very good luck, rub the belly of one of them before you go to play and whoever takes it away you win a good fortune, ??????? whatever, go have fun, eat and win money, I loved it, go!!!

I got the bento box with bulgogi, miso soup, California roll, rice, and veggies. I would say this meal was decent but don't go in expecting dishes on par with an actual Asian restaurant.

I had my mouth ready for some good food… I ordered shrimp and chicken Pancit and orange chicken. The pan it was horrible, the taste of sesame overpowered the entire dish. The orange chicken was good, however, it was cold. My friend ordered fried whole fish which was Tilapia. About ten minutes after ordering the waitress came and asked if we wanted the other dishes because the fried fish takes a while… I said yes that’s fine. She walked away and ran into the guy with our food she didn’t even get a chance to tell him. He laid the food down and it was cold. Sent the pan it back and ate what I could of the cold orange chicken. I then realized that the cook, cooked my food and it had to be sitting at least 5-10 minutes and realizing this they brought my food out. The tilapia still wasn’t fried crispy it was hot but rubbery. We didn’t even want to take the picked over leftovers home. The waitress only checked on us once. This overall was a waste of my time and tastebuds. Never again!
