“Absolutely soulful food!! This place is a gem!!
HIGHLY RECOMMNDED place for authentic Lebanese food.
The passion about food in chef George Salameh has been the most attractive aspect for me!

Finally, I had twice of Chef's No.1 Dessert!!

Beware!! He is Rumi in cooking!! 🩷🩷“

“I got a meatball sandwich and a hot dog. I’m not sure which I liked more, but they were both excellent. The cold berry soup (Rødgrød) with cream was a delightful dessert and not something I’ve seen on a menu before. The freshly made juice was the perfect balance of flavor and sweetness. I’m excited to go back and try more dishes. Above all, the service was exceptional. Tina gave great recommendations and was a delight to chat with.“

“Great beer and service. No food today but menu looked great“

“Had a work brunch at Madi in Pacific Beach today, and it was a hit with all six of us. It wasn’t busy when we arrived, though I’ve heard it gets packed on weekends. Parking was straightforward with a small lot and plenty of paid street spots nearby.

Dakotah took great care of us. She handled our group’s quirky requests with total composure, checked in at all the right times, and even sent a couple of coworkers off with to-go refills.

The food was outstanding. One of my coworkers ordered the Poke Bowl Surf Shack, and it looked as good as it tasted — bright, fresh ingredients piled around a scoop of rice and a side of spicy mayo. Another went for the Surfer Breakfast Burrito, which came with black beans and a choice of salsas. I had the Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger with bacon, served with crispy fries and a cold Mexican Coke. Everything at the table landed well.

Coffee was excellent, too. They also add a 5% hospitality fee to the bill, which seems to be a growing trend in San Diego.

Overall, a great spot for brunch with friendly service, good vibes, and food that delivers. I’d happily come back.“

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

“Super fun place to celebrate anything!“

“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.“

“Great foods and great service. Highly recommended.“

“You guys are the real MVPs Not having a special menu goes the extra mile to show that you’re willing to show gratitude to veterans. Now I’m a regular after eating here. Shout out for the flank steak last night. Our server Belle was great as well.“

“So FRESH! So DELISH! Isabel was our servir. She anticipated our every need.“

“The location was a little bit difficult to find, but once you’re there, everyone is super welcoming and helps to get you to this location. I went to one building found parking but then couldn’t access the elevator because you need a badge. Eventually I found my way in.

I ordered their speciality latte, but they were all out of their mocha flavor so they gave me a mocha syrup instead. It was a really yummy latte.“

“Great staff, great food.... one if San Diegos hidden gems!!“

“At Helix Brewing and Sourworx tonight. ordered from the food truck. Senor fries. crisp and tasty. lots of options. friendly service. fair prices. come on down and try them out.“

“I live pretty far from Liberty Station but each time I am in the area I always come here for the Spicy basil ribeye steak burrito. It’s otherworldly and it’s so delicious. I recommend for anyone who wants to try some Thai food but in burrito form!“

“Delightful atmosphere, Chef Joe is nothing short of a master craftsman at his trade. We will be back every opportunity“

“Went here for the first time after seeing on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and it did not disappoint! Food was amazing! The Black & Gold Po-Boy was awesome and the Trio dish is a must.“

“Loved the Gluten Free lunch menu options at True Food SD, but if you have an allergy to wheat, please be sure to double check with chef before ordering anything. GF is not always safe for those with wheat/oat/barley allergies. Waitress had a hard time comprehending this, but chef understood completely! Amazing chef! 💖 It would be AWESOME if the owner offered Soy milk in addition to Oat milk. (Couldn’t have coffee because of an oat allergy, and they have no other cream options sadly). Overall, beautiful setting and beautiful souls working the tables and bar. I’ll be back for sure! 💕“

“Good food & service. Robot caddy that delivers food to table was fun to watch 😋“
