“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 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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Been here twice now and my opinion of this place only grows. Kinchana is as committed to the community as they are making great burgers. They created a place where people can come hangout while they eat rather than turn tables and you feel that immediately when you walk in. Do not sleep on the curry fries and the oyama burger, it’s 100% fire.“

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

“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.“

“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've been a fan of Wong Fu for years and since we were visiting SD, I was excited to visit Bopomofo!

I tried their Spring menu and got the High Mountain Paradise drink with tapioca. It featured fresh mango and peach. I really enjoyed how refreshing the drink was and how it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet (I opted for 0% sweetness level, so the fruit was the only source of sweetness).

The staff was friendly. Lots of people were studying, but we found a spot on the counter and even had enough space for my baby in his stroller.

We'd love to return when in town again!“

“Best sushi ever, very friendly“

“You absolutely cannot go wrong with the wings here! The soy garlic and spicy flavors are both incredible—the chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The food came out hot, fresh, and fast. Hands down the best Korean fried chicken in the area!“

“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.“

“Had a good dining experience at P.F. Chang's Mission Valley. The restaurant has a great ambience, and the service was impressively fast and attentive.

The food was overall decent. The flavors were good, although most dishes were on the milder side in terms of spice. We tried the fried rice with tofu, garlic noodles as a shareable side, and veggie spring rolls as an appetizer. The dishes were well prepared, but the portion sizes felt a little smaller compared to expectations.

One small disappointment was with the veggie spring rolls. The menu picture showed three rolls cut into six pieces, which made it appear easier to share. However, we received three whole spring rolls without them being cut in half. Splitting them would have made sharing more convenient, especially for a group.

The restaurant could also consider offering additional sauces on the side so guests can adjust flavors and spice levels according to their preferences.

The drinks were a highlight — the mocktails were really good, and the Cherry Blossom Martini was a great cocktail choice.

Overall, P.F. Chang's offers a pleasant dining atmosphere, quick service, and consistently decent food. With slightly larger portions, more customizable spice options, and better presentation for shareable appetizers, the experience could be even better.“

“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!😊“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!!!!!!“

“Good food and friendly employees“

“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! 🔥 🤓“

“Excellent fresh locally sourced Thai and Laotian food. Small family owned place with great prices and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this gem in a mini mall on Broadway in Chula Vista.“

“super delicious and fresh. Great service“

“I didn't have the sushi, maybe next time. I went with the chicken curry katsu, spicy. The flavor was very good but I think they forgot to make it spicy. I didn't detect any spice to it. They have a nice selection of craft brews on tap and the service was very friendly. Overall I liked this place and will go again.“

“Really enjoyed this meal at TPK! The burnt garlic fried rice was super fragrant and perfectly seasoned, with just the right smoky flavor. The Schezwan sauce balls had a nice spicy kick and great flavor without being overwhelming.
Definitely worth coming back for !
Certainly not to confuse for curry pizza house franchise!“

“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!“

“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!“

“A very nice place for a date! It has a casino and a patio inset but outside so it's cooler out on patio and it's a beautiful scenery you'll enjoy looking at. The food is absolutely delicious everytime! The wait staff are exceptional also, so you'll want to give a good gratuity! If you sit at the first booth when you enter, you'll be cold because the staff and customers are constantly coming in and out so there's a cool breeze everytime the door is opened so for people who get cold quick, bring a sweater. There's plenty on menu to choose and EVERYTHING is good!“

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

“My new favourite. Soooo goood!“
