Noodles in San Diego, CA

“Happy Hour at Artifact is the highlight of my week! I always look forward to those afternoons when I can wrap up an early day at work and walk over to unwind.

Kendra and Kelly are the best—they always greet me warmly and, knowing sparkling rosé is my go-to, pour a glass right after saying hello. The ambience is light and relaxing, and the conversation is consistently pleasant and entertaining—it’s the perfect way to transition from work mode to relaxation.

All of the food here is absolutely delicious, but the ahi crudo and beet salad are my favorites. They’re fresh, flavorful, and never disappoint.

Artifact has mastered the art of creating a welcoming, delicious, and enjoyable happy hour experience. Highly recommend!“

“Tucked between Chinatown and Pilsen, Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle is a sensory detour from the usual noodle scene. The star here is the “crossing the bridge” rice noodle experience—a bubbling bowl of broth served with a parade of fresh ingredients you drop in yourself. It’s interactive, comforting, and surprisingly fun, like hot pot’s quieter, more elegant cousin.

The pork bone broth is a standout—rich, milky, and deeply savory. The noodles are silky and springy, and the add-ins (sliced beef, mushrooms, quail eggs, tofu skin) arrive fresh and thoughtfully portioned. For spice lovers, the hot and sour soup hits with tang and heat without overwhelming the palate.

Appetizers like spicy cucumber and shrimp wontons round out the meal with punchy flavor and texture. The space is clean and modern, and service is quick but friendly—ideal for a solo lunch or casual dinner with friends.

It’s not flashy, but it’s quietly excellent. If you’re craving something cozy, customizable, and just a little different, Ten Seconds delivers in under ten.“

“Everything was delicious! We had the bone in short rib pho, shrimp spring rolls, BUN THIT NUONG and chili tamarind wings. The wings were my fave, so crispy and the flavor was amazing! The rib is huge and you get a very generous portion of meat. Will definitely be back to try more items! Also the yuzu lemonade was very refreshing. Ask for TRINITY when you go, she gave us excellent service!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Ocean Beach.“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“Came on a whim with my wife and son for lunch. So glad we did! We got the soup dumplings, pork buns, fried dumplings, and scallion pancakes, all of which were excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Just keep in mind I came here on a Monday at 6 PM so we didn't have to wait for a table or battle for parking. This parking lot was not turned into a paid lot try. It's where Chorus and Hive are. It's still fairly new so the menu is slightly limited. We saw photos of dishes on the wall but were told they were not available until next year. The jjajangmyeon was slightly watery. I got the "meat" one so there were strips of grilled pork. My husband got the "spicy" one which was green chili on top. It was not crazy spicy according to him but it was not that painful spicy. We got the chili shrimp and I really liked that. It was crispy, fried jumbo shrimp over with sweet chili sauce on a bed of cabbage. It had enough heat making your lips feel some heat. I liked it even though it's not a fancy dish. If I don't have to come on a busy weekend night I'm down to come back.

Oh just be ready to order on really slow tablets but your order gets through as long you're patient with the tablets. The tables are far enough where you feel like you're not on top of each other like at other restaurants in Convoy.“

“Had an amazing meal at a Thai restaurant with TK as our server. TK's service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The tiger shrimp was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!“

“Photastic dining experience! The Best ever. Great service and timely in food preparation. The place to enjoy Pho in all of San Diego 5 stars review.“

“Quality of their Ramen, the flavor, and variety.“

“Been eating here since I was about 5, now at 40 I could finish their bowl on my own thank goodness ?, thank goodness the flavor is still the same. Same owners/cook since i was 5,. Tried other restaurants in LA china town and still not as good as this one. Even though i live farther away mow, i still drive there to get their special noodle soup (been eating since i was 5), eveyone i introduced this restuarant too now loves it. People who loves pho, once they try there noodles soup they can't do pho anymore. Fried egg noodles soup also to die for, including their thick fried noodles, i can go on forever with all their different dishes that will show you what asain/homemade style food is. I've tasted many different chinese food from here to Seattle/Mexicali and this to me is still the restaurant that others try to match up too. ??????“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“This place serves the most delicious and authentic Southwestern China style noodles. The broth is umami, noodles are chewy, and the seasoning is perfectly balanced with savory and spicy. Every friends I know who tried this restaurant fall in love with it.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Well organized, very clean. You order on a little screen and have many options to choose from. Tasty food and seasoned well! Very satisfied I recommend“

“Such a nice restaurant to visit. This is our 1st and it won't be our last because we really enjoyed the service and the intentiveness of our waiter which also spoke thai with my wife. The food was amazing that's why we will be coming back.“

“The beef noodle soup was super delicious and was enough to feed me and my mother. It contained tone of meat which was really tender and the broth was overall phenomenal. The popcorn chicken was also really good as it wasn’t too big and served as a great snack I would highly recommend coming here.“

“Braised beef noddle soup, dumplings in chili oil, house made dumplings, everything was fresh and delicious. The spice amount was on the mild side but adding chili oil provided at the table can take the heat to another level. Definitely a winner!“

“Such a hidden gem, our go to place. The staff is always sweet and accommodating of customizations to make vegetarian friendly sushi. Healthy size portions. Love all the other veggie options, especially the“crispy garlic tofu” appetizer but PLEASE bring back the old recipe, the new thicker tempura on it is chewy and unpleasant.“

“It was good“

“2nd time here, trying to look for this specific dish my Neice made and I believe I found it. So the first one I thought was it, I ordered Pad Thai, was not what I was looking for, it was ok, but not the dish I was looking for. Today I finally found it. lol. I forgot the name, the chef told me and I already forgot, by the way, the chef and her dad are so lovely and nice. I’ll be coming back during my daughter’s soccer practices again to have more of this. 😁.“

“Deliciously flavorful. I ordered hand torned noodles with beef in mild spicy. Has the kick of spice without the stress. I was curious about the pork burger with the white bang - that was good too!

Noodles are soft, fresh, and chewy. Must come again.“

“delicious food! all of it“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Vegan ramen is amazing! Went there twice during my trip down there! Highly recommend!“

“I picked up food from here for the first time tonight. Cashier was friendly & informative. Cute little restaurant. Pad See Ew was probably the best I’ve had in San Diego- SO many veggies (which was what I was craving). My husband gave the Bangkok Spice Noodles a 10. Headsup: if you don’t specify, food is at a 0 spice level (at least the dishes I ordered) I’m definitely coming back to see if they do as good a job on their Pad Woon Sen. Happy customer!“

“The food is always very fresh and delicious. They are very mindful about how spicy you would like. I don’t tolerate a lot of spice and they make sure they accommodate. And the customer service is exceptional.“

“Great food! Excellent service and tasty beer.“

“The food is great! Used to be very busy for lunch, but it was less than half full the day I was there.

Parking: It could be difficult to find parking close to the restaurant, but can find parking if you are ready to walk a few meters.“

“Another hiding Chinese restaurant I haven’t tried was just around the corner. The first thing that caught my eye was the Roast Duck ?, although dry, I was looking for the sauce for it but there was none. My main go to was crispy friend noodles , I got the combination one , the combo was great but didn’t see much vegetables in it. My favorite that evening was the beef chow fun. I’m not a fan of fat noodles but this one ☝️ was good. Overall the food was great! I would like to try the other recipes. Go there and and bring your friends to try ?“

“Food is always good and Brady is a riot!!“

“it looks delicious never tried it I live in Puerto Rico USA used to live in California and ate sushi twice a week so I know west coast sushi, sashimi, miso etc. are the best your pics sure make me hungry thanks for sharing I would eat the entire tray 🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣🍤🍣“

“Soooo yummy 😋 thank you for the delicious fresh thai food 😋❤️❤️ i went walking around the liberty market and decided to buy thai and some pasta from another restaurant ❤️😎
They are both deeeelicious 😋❤️ . It was very busy but if you kept moving and looking at the same time it wasn't that bad . The staff at this restaurant were so nice and helpful and moving so fast to get everyone's order out 😎👍

Vegetarian options: They have veggies or tofu for the opinions

Parking: Big parking lot around the whole campus , and its free😎

Kid-friendliness: Definitely 😁 because kids love soup and noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but it gets busy in the market , so it might be uncomfortable“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“Good service, great variety, cooked for perfectionists!“

“The crab fried rice was full of crab meat and fresh veggies. You can get your spice level from 1-10. I chose medium, so about a 5 (which wasn't very spicy at all). Rice tastes really good with the sweet sauce drizzled on top. I also had the spicy sweet wings which were just the right amount of crispy and sweet.“

“Food was delicious, we got the avocado curry, coconut rice and crying tiger steak, it was soooo good. Service was friendly, staff was attentive and customer service oriented. We definitely recommend this place as a meet up with coworkers and friends for something good to eat. You won't be disappointed.“

“We love Chiba! We lived here 8 years ago and we’re back. I am glad to see the food is still as delicious as I remember! The food was fast and I recommend the sushi! Also, our waitress was great!“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“The food is great! But the girl at the counter needs lessons in customer service and also an attitude adjustment. This is the only reason that deters me from going there more often.“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal! This is the most authentic Thai food I've ever had in San Diego. This place is really a hole in a wall, and it could be hard to find. The Shrimp Pad Thai is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely my favorite place to get Thai food from now on.“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“We are regulars who dine here weekly. Great food and friendly, knowledgeable staff. We come here frequently because the food is CONSISTENTLY delicious and the quality and care is obvious. Try it and you'll become a regular too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Many Handicap parhking spots in the lot. The one next to the restaurant has a ramp“

“I have had lunch here twice now and WOW! Food is always fresh, tasty, skillfully and carefully prepared. The woman at the counter is VERY nice. I wanted iced, unsweetened green tea and she brewed some just for me and made enough for a refill! That is great customer service and I am here for it!“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Easily one of the top two Thai joints in San Diego county. Great flavors, huge portions. Perfect.“

“Love going here! Been going here for years even before their renovations. Service has always been super attentive and the staff are so friendly. Favorite dumpling spot! We love the lamb dumplings. Their lunch specials are such a great deal!“

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“
