“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“Tried:
Matcha Jin Xuan Oolong
Iced - Regular
75% Sweetness

The Oolong tea flavor was stronger than the Matcha but the drink was good.

BA-LA Matcha
Iced - Regular
25% Sweetness

A fruity twist to the classic matcha taste. The guava flavor definitely predominates, so keep that in mind.

Popcorn Chicken
Thigh (Dark meat)

I really enjoyed that Chicken especially with the dipping sauce.“

“The food is amazing, from the bowls to the dessert. highly recommended for anymore in the area and looking for a great lunch or dinner.“

“I'll be honest, we stumbled upon this place by chance. We were hungry and cold, and I have to say, this place exceeded our expectations. First of all, the service was incredibly warm and welcoming. My partner and I are bilingual, but I need to mention that the young lady who served us noticed we were speaking Spanish, and she took the initiative and started serving us in Spanish, she suggested some dishes and we were delighted. I ordered a delicious mushroom soup, the kimchi was super fresh, we had wings and now we know why they're the best, paired with soju. I have to say that after the traffic, the storm, and the cold, this place was perfect to end our night. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!“

“The food was super good! I had the pollo saltado that was delicious! The Maracuya (passion fruit drink) was super delicious and refreshing as well! Special shout out to everyone working tonight (Tanya, Alexis, and Leyna). Everyone was super helpful and nice!“

“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!“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“The food is SO good. The chef was super friendly and nice. We can’t wait to go back. 😄“

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

“Very Good Food, had the Sparerib plate, egg rolls, Daikon Soup, and Lemon Cake for Dessert! absolutely delicious.“

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

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

“So today my family wanted pick up stix and I didn't want to get pickup stix due to the odd interaction I had last time I went in. I have been going to this location for years and have never had any issue besides the last visit. There is a cashier that is an older gentleman who refuses to give extra sauce and will literally go back and forth over a couple sauce packets. I am buying for 3 people and the 2 siracha that he said is already in the bag is not enough. I decided oh well it probably will not be a thing today, but unfortunately the same guy today did it again. I asked him what the issue was and he stated that the sauce is in the bag already. I asked do I need to pay for extra sauce and if so I will, he stated no I don't need to then finally agreed to give me sauce. I have never ran into this situation ever at any restraunt where when I am paying for the meal I have to argue and ask several times for a couple extra packets of sauce. It's wild and unprofessional to think you need to argue with a customer over 4 siracha packets.“

“Love you food! The dumplings are perfect! The Dan Dan noodles are a family favorite and I can’t get enough of the chili wonton! Love you guys!“

“Pari is great and his food is AMAZING!!“

“What other place can I sit down with my 10 year old son and play Mario Kart on n64 and eat Tajin dry rub chicken wings and have really balanced tasty Fusion burgers?

Such a dope spot with great food. If you’re born 1980-90 you’re gonna love it.“

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.“

“I would have loved to cogratulate the chef. Sweet and sour soup was perfect, ehe lettuce wraps were delicious, and the main dishes were tasty to perfection. I would recommend it and love to go back. Service was great too. We sat at the bar area.“

“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!😊“

“Its pho is one of best pho I enjoyed in SD. Its soup is light but has deep flavor. Even for a regular size, the portion was huge. Its popcorn chicken appetizer was good too (agree with other reviews).

P.S. Parking can be a bit tight during peak hours.“

“Dalbam Moon Night is an absolutely wonderful restaurant, a true hidden gem! The atmosphere is both vibrant and cozy; it feels joyful being here. Service is excellent; our waitress Saki was extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. And the food is some of the best on Convoy, definitely the best for Korean cuisine. Everything we ordered was sensational, savory, and just right. We will definitely be returning here.“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

“I come here often to get crunchy roll, California roll, mango habanero roll and gyoza. The service has been consistent . It’s a small restaurant with unique decor. There’s plenty of parking out front. I’ll continue to go back when i crave some crunchy rolls.“

“When we lived in San Diego we were up the street from Obi's and we went at least twice a week. I still talk about it years later. If you are in the area definitely stop in its definitely worth the trip.“

“Always good food and service here.
Recommend the lamd and beef spicy skewers, they are amazing!
The Japchae is a chinese style fusion a little sour, not really my style but not bad. The quail is games, i wouldn't Recommend.“

“Loved this place! The food was great. The service was amazing. The owners are super friendly.“

“Sei Sushi: Fresh Fish, Local Brews, and a Friendly Vibe
Sei Sushi is a genuine neighborhood favorite. When it comes to the food, the quality is undeniable: the fish is consistently fresh and delicious, making every order excellent.
Beyond the sushi, they keep a great selection of local beers on tap, which is perfect for unwinding. The best part, though, is the service. The staff treats patrons like a comfortable extended family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back.
Check out Sei Sushi for quality food and a great crew. I'll be sure to share pics of my next meal, but in the meantime, it’s 😋!“

“Small mom and pop place with authentic Thai and Laotltian food. Had been there twice and the food is super tasty. Had the classic Pad Thai Noodles and they were very filling and delicious. It's situated in a small plaza but there is always parking. Not a lot of seating place and the owner who tends to the place is a little gruff but the food is worth it.“

“super delicious and fresh. Great service“

“Lunchtime specials are where it’s at! There is no place in Hillcrest with this portion, quality, and variety for under $10. You’ve gotta try the chicken teriyaki!“

“Tried the new Hot Honey Chicken- BOMB 🧑🏾‍🍳 👌🏽💋 EVERYTHING WAS BUUUTHIIINN! 🔥 🤓“

“Good food and friendly employees“

“Loved my impromptu dine-in experience! I was waiting for my car to be fixed and found Pho Ha Noi on Google since it was a short walk away. The dine-in experience is basic & straight forward - you order at the counter and they bring the food to you when it’s ready.

I tried the grilled shrimp vermicelli noodle bowl and an iced Vietnamese coffee to-go. The server was very friendly & efficient and the food was delicious! I loved the pickled vegetables, the veggies were fresh, and the shrimp was sautéed with perfectly crisp/golden garlic & onions. I would definitely eat here again since I’d like to try a tofu dish 😊“

“First time trying this place and it’s a winner in my book! Service was excellent and the food was outstanding! Definitely will be a place I frequent when in San Diego!“

“Just ordered three different pizzas from Tikka Pizza and we immensely enjoyed all of them. Saag Paneer, Pav Bhani, and Butter Chicken were all tasty and faithful tributes to the dishes they’re based on, with the spice taken down a level. While they were excellent fresh, they were even better the day after reheated after the flavors melded a bit.

In addition to tasty pizza, I ordered online and the pizzas were fresh on pick up, and service from the pizza maker was great.

I’ve had Indian pizzas in the Bay Area, and in India, and I am so glad Tikka pizza is here in San Diego as a nice alternative to traditional pizza.“

“Where do we begin?? First of all Joey was AMAZING! He gave us an experience. He was so very educated about every dish and recommended some interesting and unique dishes. This was not merely eating, this was dining. We will be back to try some others! The banana dessert was so yummy!“

“My date and I both enjoyed the Lobster Benedict.
Only 2 things could've been better.
I asked for ground pepper and even mimed the grinding motion. She brought pepper in a shaker. Oh, well.
When I asked for the bill she came with her hand held device and announced OUT LOUD that it was $105.00.
My date shouldn't hear the price of the tab. This really lacked finesse.
I didn't say anything, but now regret it.
Please do better next time.“
