Restaurants in Poway

“Awesome staff and great food.🤩”

“Legit!! Had the shrimp and pork dumplings, chili wontons, scallion pancake beef roll, spicy cucumbers, and sauteed broccoli.

New owners were super nice. Only feedback is that the acoustics are rough - it's loud in there.”

“Great choices and easy delivery!”

“What a great new addition to the neighborhood! Great wine and beer, as well as cider. Something for everyone. The Brisket Flatbread is so yummy. Fresh dough, fast service. You have to try it out!”

“I think the food is very good. I would give it five stars excellent service, beautiful wine had a wonderful night. 🍷🍝”

“Another great experience! It's obvious folks that work there love their jobs. We received excellent service as usual while we enjoyed their speciality rolls and appetizers. Sushi was excellent as well. This is our favorite sushi place!”

“Excellent service and a wonderful variety of sauces and salsa to choose from which made the experience even more fun and flavorful. I absolutely loved their chicken enchiladas, they were rich, cheesy and perfectly seasoned. The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Everything tasted so authentic and the warm and friendly service made the meal even better. I will definitely be coming back.”

“peanut butter - best I've ever had. what is it????”

“Best crepes I’ve had in years!!!”

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!”

“The Not-so-Tots are great. Order them with no liquid cheese, only shredded cheese (unless you like liquid imitation cheese). The chili cheese dogs are pretty good too. The hamburgers, are pretty awful. Every time I have ordered one, the meat has been stale. That kind of almost rancid fat taste. I gave it 4 stars overall, because tater tot nachos? Doesn't get much better than that. Atmosphere is lacking, the tables are crowded together, and they're always busy, so service is so-so.”

“Sashimi and sushi are very fresh. Staff is attentive, friendly and gets your order correct. Very delicious combinations.”

“Love their Bento Box! Tempura veggies, salad , California roll, teriyaki chicken are delicious 😋 Fast & friendly service.”

“supplements & more! friendly staff”

“BEST SANGRIA EVER!!! Really TOP WINES in Mission Cellars Winery. Nice and relaxing patios. Trent and his wife Sylvia are absolutely great. Highly recommended!”

“Been going for years..Great, delicious food that tastes so good you can only expect to stuff your face 😋 It's got the flavor of the authentic BBQ w/char, beef pork and chicken meat falling off the bone ..with a perfect sauce that doesn't taste like it's full of sugar or fake ingredients..It instead tastes like years worth of perfected quality. The staff and service is also very caring and helpful, making sure everything is to your exact liking. Super!”

“10/10 food is tasty and service is friendly”

“This place is obsessed with quality. His website says it all: consistently excellent. Highly recommended!”

“great food and BBQ sauce 🙂”

“we stopped in for just some quick pancit and lumpia tonight. it was delicious. highly recommend. the service was impeccable the order was quick. Definitely going back.”

“This place is sooo good!! The sandwich was amazing but the customer service was even better, they’re so sweet! The entire meal with chips was $14.50 and the sandwich was 3 layers. Not to mention the free cookie the owner gave both my friend and I. This place is so homey and has a great environment and super affordable!”

“Great sandwiches, you can choose your toppings! family owned, clean and convenient love this place 👍”

“It is a great group meeting to support and encourage business growth in the area.”

“Hands down, the best burgers. My go to is the Double- Double animal style (mustard grilled into the meat, grilled onion, extra sauce, extra pickles). You can get it on any of their burgers. To the Snyders (the owners of In-N-Out), PLEASE put stores in Florida!! We deserve this goodness too. 🥰”

“Great food, friendly staff. The food is literally home cooked. I travel for work quite often and when I find a place that serves good Hispanic food I have to try it, eating at Lupe's made me think I was in my mother-in-law's kitchen! Make it a point to eat there!”

“We were there when they opened this morning, and that entire team of workers was ready for the 15 or so people waiting to get in!. My dutch baby was fantastic!”

“Larry (& now his son) have been serving myself and my family for close to 20 years now. Excellent food, every single time. When my brother and I specifically visit, we are always greeted with a big smile and a fist bump. Larry knows I like sitting outside, and always wipes off the table for me, I appreciate that more than I think he knows. Gyro salad is my go to, but the wraps and plates are just as good 👍”

“Great food, fantastic beer selection, phenomenal staff all wrapped up in a very cool space!”

“Best service and best variety of selections”

“Incredibly good pizza. Ordered the supreme and it was really delicious. The dough was very good and all the toppings seemed fresh. I'll definitely be going back.”

“Great atmosphere, great service , Great Food 🍶”

“First visit today! Been missing out but no more. Al Pastor tacos were great. Will be eating my way through menu! 😺😺😺😺”

“Love this place. Great vibe and even better food. I had the fish tacos which at .99 cents can't be beat. One of us had the Cubano sandwich that was also excellent.”

“Looking for a replacement Chinese Restaurant, since my favorite closed down. Ran out of options in Poway. So decided to give 369 a try. They had a few Chinese options, so tried the Broccoli Beef lunch special. I was pleasantly surprise, very good flavor and large portions. The regular portion would feed two. They also sell Beef Chow Fun. I normally have to get this at a sit down place. Theirs is pretty good. One day I will try the Ramen.”

“I have been to this coffee shop several times now since new ownership and have tried a different coffee every time and to my surprise it’s always good. I have been drinking coffee religiously for over a decade and have become extremely picky about my coffee. So it’s nice to find a place that has the convenience of a drive thru with great quality coffee.”

“Absolutely amazing. Halal too!! I’m so incredibly pleased with the mantu and more importantly the sweet hospitality of the people who work here. Will definitely be coming back!!!”

“This place is always good , no matter what you get. It's a favorite go to of a friend of mines.

Their staff is friendly their food is authentic, and their chiles quiles and Mexican egg benedicts are phenomenal.

Their margaritas are the right proportions and their mimosas are generous.

10/10 totally great. Will absolutley be going again,( probably sometime this week honestly) 😄”

“Bar none best pizza in Poway.
Celiac gluten free was a shockingly good surprise too!! Granddaughter loved it!
The owner is the sweetest man alive and I wish everyone could experience his love of pizza!”

“The food was very good and the waitress was very friendly. It’s very clean inside the restaurant.”

“A must visit. True to the roots of the small brewery experience in the San Diego area. Visiting Lightning feels like visiting a bit of brewing history.

There is an indoor and outdoor seating area to enjoy. The beer on tap is great! Really unique brewery styles compared to most breweries. Nice to be able to order a few types of beer I have never seen elsewhere. Of course, they have the tried and true Thunderweizen, also a must have when you visit. It really is the definition of a Souther California take on a Hefeweizen style. Fits perfectly with the great weather.

There is plenty of parking around the building, a few places large enough to bring a sizable group of people after work for a birthday. They also have some snacks that you can grab while you are here.

The staff was attentive and professional, which is always appreciated. You can also get a glimpse into the production when you visit as well, since it's a big open warehouse.”

“Rose matcha is the best in my opinion!”

“Hit up the New Nutmeg on Danielson Street in Poway. I heard their Scripps location closed because the landlord raised the rent so high it was unaffordable for them to stay there. We were a large group so we were able to order a bunch of menu items. There was a line but its a very popular place so we were not surprised. We started with some espresso drinks, and agua frescas. We had the Hearty Bowl, Avocado Toast, and Amazing Burrito. Some in our group had the new Grandpa's Breakfast Bun with the egg and spam, and the Porky. They are very flexible with special orders including one in our group who is gluten sensitive. We finished, sharing their in-house baked pastries (they have gluten-free pastries); the warmed espresso scones and cinnamon buns (don't ever leave without having the "buns"). I work in the area so Nutmeg is now my go-to for breakfast before work, or lunch. Its also located nearby Costco and Home Depot, convenient for a weekend meal before or after my weekly Costco runs.”

“They have great sandwiches but I do love their green salad with the spicy low cal ranch dressing with a scoop of tuna fish salad. That's what I usually order when we go to a Board and Brew.

We also ordered a Roast Beef Spicy sandwich and it was delicious too. Love that it came with au jus on the side though it was cold.

This chain location was airy and open with a nice outdoor patio area. The service was good too.”

“Our go to mex restaurant…..simply the best!”

“Yesterday wasn't our first time here and there is a reason why - the food is simply great! My son loves their meatball pho which comes with a healthy amount of noodles, meatballs and is delicious. My daughter loves their fried tofu in the appetizer section. Special mention to their grilled pork and fried rice as well, the fried rice was street style and yummy. The ambience is casual and let your hair down. Great for dine in and take out.”

“Mongolian beef was delicious! They are pretty fast and they try hard to get your order ready! It is quite and peaceful plus the lady at the register is really nice.”

“I recommend this Poway store, because the staff is very friendly and the store is very clean, they have the best juices”

“Best smoothie in San Diego County! All fresh ingredients!”

“forgot to take pictures of my food! I’ve visited this place a few times. Their pizza is great. I got a chicken pesto pasta dish this time. It tasted and smelled good. The full size portion was enough to share.

The owner is very friendly and he’s supportive of local school fundraisers. I would definitely come back to visit soon.”

“So happy to have Ding Tea in Poway 🧋 ♥️”

“This is my favorite place to eat Thai food in Poway. Always friendly good service excellent food.”

“This was our first time to Franco’s and we will be back. Breakfast was delicious, and the cranberry muffin was to die for. I recommend you give this place a try.”

“Had a great time. Food was amazing and our server Casey was even better. My wife and I will definitely be coming back to sit in her area. Mozzarella sticks were amazing So is there chicken piccata. Looking forward to trying more on the menu”

“Excelente comida!!! Todo con un sazón espléndido…. Gracias por su magnífica comida!!!”

“Tasty pollo burritos, vegetarian beans option, good horchata, spicy hot side, and the verde salsa is good but kinda runny/watery. But overall a solid value and quick friendly service.”

“Best coffee in San Diego!”

“Good food, great environment…”

“Absolutely Love our Better Buzz here in Poway.
The staff is always so friendly, the drinks are consistently top-notch, and they do their best to serve the drinks quickly.
Parking can be tricky right by the shop, but the large parking lot makes up for it, so you'll always find a spot.
The breakfast sandwiches are delicious too.
The restroom is clean, the tables are wiped down, and the napkins and utensils are always replenished. It's the little things that make a place great!”

“First time going and enjoying every bit of it. Poke was very tasty. Tried a little bit of everything from tuna, scallops, seaweed and pickled radish. Everything was fresh. The host was friendly. I’m looking to going again.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ma’s house in Poway, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best in the area. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The food was outstanding. Every dish we ordered was full of flavor.”

“Great Pizza & Wings. Long time favorite of ours. Great staff and very quick!”

“Our favorite spot for sushi and sashimi😍”

“They have the best pita gyro I have had. They make their own marinade for their chicken and salad dressing which are both so good. Hope they will open in Temecula!”

“Went in last night with my daughter. Got the chicken penne pasta which was tasty, but the chicken could definitely be more tender. Recieved exceptional service from our waiter, Kevin despite the resturaunt being pretty busy. Impressive selection of beers and plenty of tv's, a pool table, and a shuffle board make it difficult to be bored. I will be back!”

“The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to make your dining experience enjoyable. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and perfect for both quick takeout or a casual meal with family and friends.If you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Poway, don’t miss El Armando's Mexican Food.”

“Amazing selection of sandwiches. I had a steak, mushroom, cheddar, and steak sauce sandwich and it was amazing. I think I could go back there every day for about two months and have a different delicious sandwich every time! Highly highly highly recommend this place.”

“Everything is cooked fresh to order, had the popular steak sandwich. The flavor is excellent and cooked to perfection. It has that nice slow heat with sweetness on the front. They pile on the meat so it was very filling.”

“Specialty coffees, cute ambience”

“Fantastic food and ambiance. Very friendly and courteous staff! Kudos! Well done!”

“Yoon the owner takes this 5 Michelin star shop to a daily occurrence. I came twice today cause I suffered withdrawals without the Tteok Bok Ki. Only place I’ve ever left a review cause it’s so damn good. 7 stars”

“It's a smaller place with a really friendly, and responsive staff even when they're busy.

The live music (Cold Craft) was top notch, and the food was very good.”

“After a walk or after a series design, I get hungry and sometimes have a hankering for Mexican food. This little gem in the strip mall is a consistent great stop. The owner is always smiling.. I do not think I have ever seen him not smile. They have two cooks that are always there. Food is always consistent. Great spot for Carne Asada burrito, or tacos...of course they have much more. Come down and have some chow. Oh yes, the salsa bar is amazing...”

“Went to this location today with a friend and my baby. We had the most PLEASANT interaction and service from Will B! My Cali Club hit the spot and the baby enjoyed it as well.

Additional shout out to the other employee helping my friend but we didn’t catch his name.
Thanks again fellas!!”

“Pizza is always delicious. We order the large white pizza and add sausage, olive and onion and it was over $60 for that one pizza. No thanks.

The waitress was an older white lady and couldn't understand our order. She got really upset and frustrated and then I got frustrated. We should have just left then , but my mother in law was hungry.”

The flavor omggggg, please stop and eat here.”
