“This was our go-to spot before the game and it didn’t disappoint. Super fun atmosphere with interactive games to play with friends, and the sliders were actually really good. Tons of TVs so you don’t miss any of the action. The best part for me was the open rooftop — gave it that outdoor feel without having to deal with the heat. Great vibes all around!“

“First of all, the moment we walk in, the layout and environment was beautiful and astonishing. The Buddha statue is cool and the painting was also pretty. Also there was a DJ which makes it even better. Anyways service was great and although they do charge for water which I’ve never seen before, the food was amazing. The sushi rolls and fried rice was delicious and the rest was great too. I would come back but would probably just try to not drink too much water.“

“Our boy is raving about u guys!“

“Delicious food and great atenttion“

“I had the catfish and fries with cornbread it was simply amazing it was so good nice and hot fresh I'll definitely be back again and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends“

“The only negative I have to say is the location. However the food was great. I got the short ribs. The meat was tender. My partner got that katsu and it's the crunch that gets me. Delicious. The Mac salad was good too. No weird after taste of fish oil that I've had at other places.“

“I stop here every time I’m in San Diego to see Chris and Chris (my favorite bartenders) and get my bbq and BS fix. The bbq is on-point for KC style bbq. I know because I grew up in KC. But before you walk in here, maybe you should ask yourself a few questions in order to spare this amazing place future weird reviews:

Am I afraid of bras? Will my life be diminished by reading a few irreverent bumper stickers? Am I put off by people who are unapologetically authentic? Do I prefer whitewashed, soulless, corporate places? If your answer to these questions is “No” then you won’t regret stopping here. If ya do stop, give Chris and Chris high fives and hugs for me!“

“Fantastic service! Great prices. Loved the outdoor eating area and the vibe!!!“

“I saw this restaurant was close to my hotel and gave it a shot. I wanted to try Ramen here in San Diego in hopes that there is a difference in taste compared to where I live. It's 100 times better. The pork was so tender and the crab was delicious. I got a crunchy dragon roll and they didn't skimp on anything. I will definitely add this place as my go-to for Ramen when I come back!!!“

“Its a fun little place to go to before Padre games .. Dorothy ( I think thats her name ) is an AWESOME bartender.. The guy on the grill was funny too .. he can grill a burger 🍔 thats for sure !!“

“Exceptional quality and great BBQ hands down. 👍🏻“

“Awesome food. Service is great also. Prices are moderate.“

“The foods that we order was all good!!!“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“Love the food and the servers are very friendly“

“I read the reviews for this place and I was curious to try it, being Mexican, I’ve never been too impressed by tacos in San Diego, there are good tacos but there’s always something better down south.

I am not someone that picks a place for the atmosphere, I go places for their food, if the atmosphere is good I might stay longer but if the food’s good I’ll come back.

Which is the case with this place, the food is so good that I would travel back from mexico just to eat their ribeye tacos.

I’ve read about people complaining about the atmosphere here, there are too used to fast food joints, this is how a real taqueria feels like, it’s rustic, not sterile, there’s ash from the charcoal flying and landing in the furniture out back, loud music, informal service. If you can’t deal with that, go get yourself some fast food instead, this might not be for everyone. But the food…

The food is worth it, not sterile uberclean plastic setting we tend to find this side of the wall, this feels authentic, and tastes like the best in Mexico. The quality of the raw materials ids the best I have seen, even in México. Could the setting be better? Who cares, the tacos are fantastic that’s all that counts.

Bravo to the owners, we wish you great success, and many years in business so that we may comeback many times.“

“Went to Laylahs Jamaican Food restaurant today and I have to say the food was very delicious, customer service was excellent. I will be back!!!“

“Enjoyed the tasty southern choices.“

“It's a hidden gem. It's a mom and pop shop, it's absolutely delicious! My friend was telling me about this location and I decided to go before they close. I got some of the noodles, sausages, bread and beef as well as two canned sodas (I don't know the exact name of some of the dishes because I kind of just took whatever they had left) such great portions and I will 100% be back so I can see what else they have. I spent less than $40“

“Better than Little Caesars and the guys that operate this place are always so sweet and accommodating. My son requests this pizza several times a month. You cannot beat the large pepperoni anywhere at $6.50. It tastes good and they have great crust as well. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food as always... Quality service and quality for your purchase... Unfortunately on this, our goodbye visit... We got the wrong chicken ordered... My mother ordered chicken katsu... But as we were packing up our order we realized that we received barbecue chicken instead... They were closing and we needed to get on the freeway for our journey home... The only disappointment was that we were looking forward to chicken katsu... Hawaiian barbecue is hard to come by in New Mexico... We have a spot in our town... They to are amazing as well... Yet, you just can't beat L&Ls portions... Quality and quantity that hasn't changed for almost a century now...“

“ohana Hawaiian island BBQ is the best in town I've been coming here since my son was one and a half he's seven now and it has become his favorite food I bring him here as a reward when he's a good kid thank you ohana you have become part of my family 🙏❤️“

“Very good streets food and love it’s.“

“I always drive by here, but never tried it until today. I got a Patty and a slice of Lemon cake. Customer service was amazing, the lady register is SO SWEET and helpful. The patty is so flaky and satisfying. The lemon cake was my FAVORITE! So moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Will come here again, no doubt!!“

“So I just used DoorDash to order a pork combo. I wanted a plate with all rice but I guess I ordered it wrong. When I got my food there was a note attached to my food and they got exactly what I wanted. To the employee who wrote the note THANK YOU! You’re an amazing employee. I will definitely be back with great service like this. Thanks again“

“Food is similar to all other L&L (garlic shrimp is so so so good), but what really stood out to me was the incredible service by the young lady working the register. We visiting during lunch on Tuesday June 2. She was welcoming, helpful, and really embraced the aloha spirit. Please give her a raise.“

“Delicious Filipino grilled favorites on demand!

My dad loves coming here because when we go shopping for ingredients of his native food, we can come get prepared delicious meals on hand.

Cafeteria style, you can choose from grilled fish, meats, vegetable and meat dishes, noodles, desserts and more!

My recommendation

Grilled pompano fish
Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk)
Lechon kawali (crispy pork)“

“I’m loving the wings here. I was not too impressed initially ( 2 years ago) and decided to give it a second try and I’m glad I did! The wings were super juicy and adequately seasoned, the bread was freshly baked and fluffy. I recognized that more people are here as well. Nicely done.“

“Friendly staff with tasty food. Their online menu does not match their physical store menu which is why I’m including an image of their physical store menu. Sides are not listed so I included images of their sides. You get a lot of food so don’t eat with your eyes. Would come back again. I went with our group of 5+ people for lunch 5/14 days and had no issues.“
