“I came here with an immense hunger. I got the tofu sandwich. I waited for about 8 minutes with intense jealousy as about 10 people were helped with their bowl and worried my sandwich was forgotten. Then it arrived. The sauces were great and I ate in a frenzy. The tofu was a little bland, but sandwich was good overall.“

“Had the bbq pork sandwich. Then the beef curry sandwich. Pretty good.
Please do not put huge chunks of jalapeño in the pork sandwich without warning.
Also , maybe cut the curried beef into slices, instead of 3” square chunks.
Both these sandwiches are difficult to eat .“

“Contemporary decor, varied menu, great service and Delisious food!! We'll be back!“

“A Culinary Masterpiece: An Unforgettable Evening with Chef Jiwoo Choi From the moment my girlfriend, Kassandra, and I stepped into the Choi’s in downtown San Diego, we knew we were about to experience something truly special. What followed was an extraordinary seven-course tasting menu crafted by the incredibly talented Chef Jiwoo Choi, a chef whose passion for food is evident in every detail of his dishes. Chef Choi created the menu around several questions sent via email before the date. He truly took his time to understand his customers and who they were. The dinner was designed around my girlfriend, for whom the night was centered around for Valentines Day. The customer service was impeccable from the start. The hostess greeted us warmly, immediately making us feel at home, and the entire staff was attentive yet unobtrusive throughout the evening. We were sat at an oval table exclusively to ourselves with candles and wonderful ambiance. Included was a little note card that read “A Dinner Written By You” . Wow. Our server was Chef Choi himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the ingredients, offering insightful explanations of each dish, telling the story of the meal, and even sharing about the inspiration behind his creations. The entire team worked seamlessly together, ensuring that every moment of our dining experience felt effortless and elegant. Now, onto the food—a true work of art. Each course was not just a meal but a beautifully presented masterpiece that engaged all the senses. Chef Choi has a remarkable ability to balance flavors, textures, and aromas in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Every dish had a story, each bite revealing new layers of complexity and creativity. Some standout dishes included: A delicate amuse-bouche that set the tone for the evening, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. Inspired by Kimchi, a sauce enveloped the bits of tofu with a fried rice cake. A The main course was an Australian Wagyu with fingerling potatoes in a chile con carne sauce based from my girlfriend’s childhood. The wagyu melted in our mouths. Potatoes so crispy and delicious you forgot what other potatoes tasted like. A sauce so savory, bursting with tomatillo, garlic, and other flavors. Perfectly balanced as all things should be. The unexpected dish that left me in so much shock was the Greek wedding soup. A cold dish that is better experienced than explained. If I could eat that everyday for the rest of my life it would never be enough. Nothing I could say would live up to the incredible flavors. I ate mine and half my girlfriend’s portion. Finally, a dessert course that was as stunning as it was delicious, showcasing unexpected flavor combinations that worked in perfect harmony. A hot desert, a play on sticky rice. Cardamon, sugar, a small stone fruit with rich notes of raisin and plum. The second dessert was unexpected and intended for my likes (which I found to be such a class act). A ferment plum wine reduction that he infused into a frozen dish (somewhere in the realm of sorbet meets gelato) with a crème brûlée top. Amazing, outstanding. Chef Choi himself took the time to visit our table, a gesture that truly elevated the experience. He shared his inspiration for the menu, spoke about the ingredients, and genuinely wanted to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves. This level of dedication and personal touch is rare and speaks volumes about his commitment to his craft and his guests. He even orchestrated a surprise set of roses for my girlfriend and played it off like I planned it. By the end of the evening, Kassandra and I were completely in awe. The attention to detail, the passion behind every dish, and the warmth of the staff made this one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Chef Jiwoo Choi and his team went above and beyond, creating an evening we will never forget. Five stars are simply not enough!“

“Food and service was amazing“

“We got 3 drinks and 2 snacks and it was great. The strawberry lychee drink with lychee jelly was so good and just the right amount of sweetness. Sometimes bubble tea is just way too sweet (tea monks) and this was perfect. The Horchata Thai tea was so yummy, and the brown sugar milk tea was good too. We got naked tots and spicy popcorn chicken with spicy slaw and rice. Both were good. Tots were just average tots, but were cooked well and the oil was not old. The popcorn chicken had a good amount of sauce, the spicy slaw was good and the rice was cooked to perfection with fried shallots/onions on top. So good. Was somewhat busy when we came, but we got our food quicker than quoted and took everything to go. We would definitely come back.“

“Always my favorite chicken place to go to. ☺️“

“We ended up here today quite accidentally. Glad we did! We ordered Combo 1 with Kimchi Fried Rice and had 6 wings in sweet and sour style and the other 6 wings in saigon style. We asked for extra spicy in all. The waiter explained that they can make fried rice but not the other wings as the spicy is preset in respective sauces. We said fine. When dishes come out, the fried rice came out just the we wanted. When we alternated eating between rice and wings, it just perfect. We loved it.“

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

“I highly recommend dining at Bali Hai!! Tasty food, amazing drinks, and breathtaking views! The Sunday brunches are to die for with a large assortment of food choices. You can tell the employees are happy to be there, always smiling and very attentive, from the moment you are greeted at the podium to the time you say goodbye. Overall an unforgettable experience!! Also super fun when they have events!“

“I got the strips and radish as the side. Order half spicy half garlic. OMG it was tasty 👅 AF. The price was a bargain compared to the quality and quantity of food I got. The hostess was 🔥🔥🤘. Great customer service.“

“PF Chang’s is one of the better sit down restaurants at Fashion Valley. Vanessa helped us out and she was very attentive to our table and constantly was on refills with our drinks. Overall the food was very good and I would definitely come again.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“We've eaten here about once a month for about five months. The food is excellent. Everything we've had has been excellent and so fresh. There is a lot of positive energy in the restaurant and every member of the waitstaff has been very efficient. I especially recommend the waitress T.K. She is very personable, while also being very efficient. She knows the food thoroughly and can give very good recommendations. Supannee is now our go to Thai restaurant. We've taken several people with us and they have all been very impressed. Go, eat, enjoy.“

“Nicholas was great, would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is always very fresh and delicious. They are very mindful about how spicy you would like. I don’t tolerate a lot of spice and they make sure they accommodate. And the customer service is exceptional.“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“Assorted Sashimi 4.5/5
Everything was good, but the yellowtail was the standout. Its texture and flavor really surprised me-in a good way.

Dragon Roll 4/5
Tasty and enjoyable, but nothing particularly surprising.

Dynamite Roll 4.5/5
The biggest surprise of the meal. Really flavorful, with a great combination of textures. Definitely one of my favorites.“

“With 10 eateries in this tiny strip mall on a main road, you have a lot of choices. Choose this place. Fast friendly service. Great food at reasonable prices. Large portions. Want it mild? No problem. Like it spicy 🔥 they do that too.“

“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..“

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

“I recently picked up some food to go, and it was the perfect choice for a night out by the water. Everything was packed thoughtfully, including those cute heart-shaped containers that made for such a fun beach picnic setup.

The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the ramen had a perfectly cooked egg with a rich broth. We really enjoyed the variety in our order. It was such a great meal under the moon, and I will definitely be back for more soon.“

“I got off work past 9 PM last night and was craving dinner, so I looked up restaurants and found this Korean spot on Convoy that stays open until 1 AM. Once I walked in, I immediately saw it’s the perfect late-night hangout with such a great vibe. It’s styled like a cozy Korean pojangmacha pub, K-pop tracks playing nonstop, and the lighting sets such a nice mood.

The three of us ordered bossam, and it was absolutely incredible!! The pork belly had the perfect balance of fat and lean meat—it’s their signature dish for a reason. I couldn’t stop giving it thumbs up 👍 This dish alone guarantees I’ll be coming back for more.

We also got spicy beef soup, which was rich, hearty and delicious, plus cold noodle soup. The cold noodles were decent but nothing mind-blowing. Next time I want to try classic Korean comfort foods like seafood pancake and cheesy spicy stir-fried chicken. Corn cheese is another highly recommended item here too.

Our three dishes totaled $71, around $24 per person—pretty reasonable, and we left completely stuffed. It was only 10:30 when we headed out, and there was already a line forming out the door. This place is definitely super popular!“

“Delicious options for vegans, nice customer service, outdoor dining 👍🏻“

“Our waiter Wilson was absolutely amazing and beyond belief with recommendations and service. We sat at the bar and he treated us like royalty with the best menue call outs and recommendations. He was literally the Jack to my Rose, but the ship was not sinking. Get the salt and pepper shrimp and scallops!“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

“Great cafe late and Mille crêpe cake!!!!!!“
