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 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!“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Good service, great variety, cooked for perfectionists!“

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

“If you're craving some seriously mouthwatering Korean fried chicken, look no further than Bonchon! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The fried rice was nothing short of amazing--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and just the right amount of seasoning. It was the ideal start to an incredible meal.

Now, let's talk about the kimchi. Traditional, spicy, and packed with that authentic kick that really takes it to the next level. It's hands down my favorite kimchi I've had in ages! And speaking of favorites, the coleslaw was absolutely to die for. The tangy vinegar and black pepper profile was so refreshing and unique, it completely stole the show for me. Seriously, it might be the best I've ever had.

But let's get to the main event: the wings. Oh my goodness, the wings! Crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned--they're by far the best I've ever had. We went with the ginger soy and traditional Korean BBQ sauces, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The ginger soy had that sweet and savory balance, while the Korean BBQ was just the right amount of smoky and tangy. Each bite was a perfect burst of flavor.

Bonchon is a true gem if you're looking for incredible Korean flavors that are both comforting and exciting. I can't recommend it enough!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We have lived in RSD for 10 years and love all the options near us. One of our favorite go to restaurants is Pick Up Stix mainly this location in RSD. The food is delicious and the service is always given with a smile and genuine, personal care for quality and a desire to give the customer what they expect when their order is made. My family and I always enjoy walking in and being greeted with sincerity. This RSD location has always been consistent in taste and quality. Thank you!“

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“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.“

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

“We sat on the patio. I’m here from out of town and have to eat clear liquids. The gal at the checkout suggested the shiitake & daikon soup. It was delicious!!! I got some more to go. My friends ordered from the appetizers and sides menu. The portions were very generous and delicious. If I’d live here, I’d come here often.“

“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.“

“We celebrated my grandma's birthday dinner and she had a great time. It was 7 of us with 7 entrees that were absolutely delicious. Bree our front of the house expert was so awesome and helpful, came at the right times and her recommendations (Mongolian Trio , Korean fried chicken) were 10/10. My grandma left super happy and felt special with her happy birthday song and delicious dessert. 10/10. Recommend!!!“

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!😊“

“Amazing family owned Vietnamese restaurant. We were visiting from northern Virginia and this place was the best pho we have had. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re visiting the area. Owners are very nice and seem to know all their regular customers well.“

“Very homey spot that I now call my favorite spot. Couldn’t find many authentic locations till this one. Menu is priced “wallet-friendly” in my opinion. Friendly staff and well-prepared dishes at any given time, I comfortably feel right at home the moment I enter. They have decent specials for specific days of the week, do be sure to check them out when you’re in the area!“

“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.“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

“Cute little restaurant with Thai, Chinese, and Cambodian fare. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious food. Would visit again if I was back in the area!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ordered for takeout and the staff were nice. The restaurant is clean and I love the mural! The food is super fresh and tasty. I highly recommend. The baked sushi is the best baked sushi I've ever gotten and their nigiri is soo good it melts in your mouth.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 😊“

“Excellent service! The owners are wonderful & we’re super helpful! I actually called in my order and came to pick up and they made sure I had everything I needed before they left my table. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for Lao food in Chula!“

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

“super delicious and fresh. Great service“

“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!“

“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!“

“Went for dinner and a couple games of pool. Really enjoyed the atmosphere really laid back and relaxed. Service was stellar and the food was very good as well. Oh the pool tables are some of the best ever played on very newly refelted tables. Look forward to playing some tunes on the jukebox next visit.“

“If you are gluten free this is your new favorite Thai restaurant. Most of the food is already GF (I knowww, right!?) and you can request GF for a whole lotta options. Drunken noodles (yes!), fried chicken (yes!), wings (yes!)... Most of the noodles dishes are available as gluten free. They have excellent cocktails and the vibe is cute and cozy with a San Diego type of chic mixed in. Nothing over the top, good and well made food, friendly staff and excellent conversations. 10/10 for new date night spot. They have also been around for many years! So you know that kitchen is making great food. Take your kids, take your wives, take yo husbands and boyfriends. Take the whole fam!“
