Perfect location for me to get a bite to eat while the rest of my friends hung out at the bar next door. They weren't too interested in eating at the moment but I was hungry.
So I was told that this hole-in-the wall had good Chinese food. It's not the most eye-catching or neat in an appearance place but it was enough to get me in and eat my bowl of shrimp noodle soup. There were plenty of seats to choose from. I was in a good spot facing the street, watching passer-byers go by.
I had placed my order and paid the person at the register. She appeared to be the only one working. I had waited for what I felt was a long while. There were others sitting at a table and another person ordering. Perhaps, the cook, was backed up. Nonetheless, my bowl of shrimp noodle soup was brought over to my table steaming hot. It took me awhile to start eating as it was way too hot. I had to take lots of sips of soup until I was able to bite into one shrimp. The entire bowl arrived fresh and yummy, portioning was more than expected but the taste was missing a little something. The soup wasn't awful, it was just missing that Chinese soup taste. I'm not a fan of spicy foods but in the case is the soup, it definitely needed something - a kick. I didn't bother complaining. Perhaps, I should have added some soy sauce or hot sauce but wasn't feeling it. I had finished my soup in no time. It definitely hit the spot. Corner Cafe did its job.
Staff was not overly attentive but enough to get what I needed (ie fork). She was polite and mild mannered. From the looks of the way business ran, it was an over-the-counter order type of place. Don't expect much. Pretty much, self serve.
I would return again, but I may try something different.

I came here with my family and the food was delicious, I absolutely loved their chicken teriyaki. I'm not from here but if I was I'd come as much as I could. The staff was also wonderful, thank you guys <3

Paid $65+ for two entrees and a drink. No utensils included. Really?
Got the fish in black bean sauce and fried noodles with shrimp. Delicious!

Ordered takeout beef chow mein, and shrimp with broccoli. Best Chinese food in this part of San Diego. Both dishes were delicious. Came down from the Bay Area and ordered something simple because I wasn’t sure what the quality of food would be like. And I was completely surprised by how good it was. Very authentic, a definite must go to place if you are wanting Chinese food.

Great place to dine in. Small location and feels homely.

This small family ran restaurant serves good Chinese food. Not very many tables because space is limited. The front seating area was used for storage so I rated the atmosphere lower.
