“Always great food when I stop by #HWMYTastins #HWMY“

“We were there on vacation a few weeks back stopped for lunch and was very happy with the food and service especially your server Valerie think her last name was Long. she was quick and polite. Another of times you go to a restaurant and don't even get a smile. Valerie was very kind and was very polite.“

“Our server Cam was awesome and food was great! Got to try it. Great dumplings!!!“

“Very fast service, friendly people. Delicious food especially the ramen.“

“wonderful service, warm friendly atmosphere 😀“

“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.“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Best. Fried. Chicken. In San Diego. Go get it! Recommended flavors in no particular order are spicy, soy garlic, yangnyeom (seems to be a wonderful balance of spicy and soy garlic with a bit of sweet), and their plain (no sauce) shows just how masterful they are at their primary product. Wings, dummies, strips. It's all good. Great for takeout or dine in. They have some unique spirits and cocktails as well.“

“My partner and I genuinely get Bopomofo minimum once a week ever since we first tried it. The bala matcha (guava matcha latte) is one of my fav drinks in existence. I really appreciate that they don’t charge extra for oat milk. Also love that they offer vegan food options - the vegetarian (it’s also vegan) popcorn chicken is super good. I hope they add a vegan sauce besides ketchup in the future. Orders can take some time to come out, but ordering online ahead of time always work best for me.

Their customer service is also 10/10. I ordered online from the Artesia location by mistake a few weeks ago. The manager on shift, Suh, promptly connected with the Artesia location to organize a refund for me. They also provided me with their direct contact info in case I had any issues with receiving the refund. I really appreciate the SD staff for still fulfilling my order 10min before close. Thank you to the closing staff on shift on 10/16/2024 :)“

“Our waitress was Alexis Columba and helped us be seated. To begin, parking maybe a hassle due to limited parking space, however, the food are very good. I have been here twice.

The ambiance is nice, soothing, and authentic. They have happy hours for drinks. This here is the Lomo Saltado with beef flanks and mixed veggies. Very savory and flavorful. You are able to taste each ingredients.

I would come here again!“

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

“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!“

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

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“Delicious as always. We tried one of the new menu items - pepper chicken. Oh wow! Amazing! Will definitely order again. We love PF Chang's. My only complaint is that you make a reservation on Open Table but it's not an actual “reservation.” We still have to wait at least 30 minutes which is annoying. If you can't honor a reservation time then don't offer it in the first place. It won't stop us from returning though because the food is so dang good.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!😊“

“The food was fresh, the portions were bigger than I expected. Arrive was quick and friendly. My son enjoyed his rare steak pho and (delicious!) coconut snowbubble. The shrimp spring rolls were light and fresh. The popcorn chicken was so-so (not as spicy as I expected). The restaurant atmosphere was modest, functional, and clean. The value of this meal was very high.“

“I moved away from San Diego in 2017 and their salt and pepper tofu is the one meal I miss the most 😂 Sooo good“

“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.“

“LuckyFlip Brand U Need Furniture? Take a Wild Guess ? The owner Proprietor Mr Eddie is a US Air Force veteran buy from him obviously hello Mr furniture since 1977 is there anywhere else you want to go to that has that kind of credibility huh nobody tell him Michelangelo sent you and tell him that I'm not going to take that against him LOL nothing wrong with being an Airedale that's for sure thank you for your service Mr Eddie! 9092447310 Call for more MERCH! #veterans #merch #filipino #asianbulldog #englishbulldog #smallbusiness“

“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.“

“Delicious..try the milk boba teas!“

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

“Overall, good experience. Boba was average, the drink was good. Unless you are a toppings fan, not worth it. I did not try the fries, which looked fantastic! I regret that now. I’m not sure if I would go again, but it was definitely cool to make my own boba! “

“This spot earned a 3 Star rating, but the quality of the sushi, coupled with the fantastic service from Mika brought it up to a solid 4. The missing star is from no nigiri combo on the menu, coupled with no natto and prices that are above average. Will come back to see if owner really reads these and does something about it in the future….“

“Our waitress was very friendly and attentive
helping us. She aided in the cooking process to help ensure nothing WaS over or under done to keep a consistent flow of meats cooking.

Spicy lamb kabobs - very nicely seasoned with a good spice to them on the higher medium side. So not order if you are sensitive to spicy. Amazing btw because I barely dipped into my seasoning tray

Original lamb kabobs - again, nicely seasoned and definitely not spicy. Delish

Lamb spare ribs - the marinade is nice and they are delivered cooked well and juicy

Enoki wrapped in pork bely - I was shocked by how delightful these are! Caution, they are tightly wrapped and retain a lot of heat (temperature) as well as juicy flavor

Steamed dumplings - they weren't bad but not my favorite

Beef kabobs -lacked seasoning but you do have it on your tray. I am a lamb girly so they weren't my favorite but I still enjoyed them.

would definitely visit again“

“super delicious and fresh. Great service“

“I love the food here. They make their sausage in-house, and it comes with small papaya salad. The sausage is delicious and offers a slight lemon grass flavor.

The lady who served me was very sweet. They make excellent Thai teas, too.“

“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!“

“Good food and friendly employees“

“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!“

“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!“

“My first time eating at this place, located in the Mission Gorge area of San Diego. The surrounding is always scenic and safe, and the people are friendly. The food is very savvy and culinary. Service was exceptional polite, creating an ambience environment, along with decors and sanitation, Saigon Star deserves an ovationfor its Vietnamese & Chinese bistro, as is should be IT: the local eatery in town....more dynastic ambient... Fantastic Four!!!!!“

“I love Vietnamese food, I am the biggest fan, I accidentally found this place the other day I went to better Buzz coffee and it's right behind it on Miramar road Not very far from the UTC Mall, I bought a Vermicelli dish with egg rolls, chicken pork, excellent.
When you walk in the place smells beautiful fresh food wonderful, It doesn't smell like chemicals like many other restaurants, Kris helped me out, She speaks perfect English, fun to talk to, It's a family-owned business, I highly highly recommend this restaurant, I truly look forward to going back, The only thing I would say is I would like to portion to be maybe a little bit bigger but besides that the taste was perfect.

Parking: More than enough parking“

“The Pork Adobo was AMAZING! It went well with the Pansit! Salamat!!!“
