Noodles in San Diego, CA

“Excellent food and service. The menu has something for everyone in each category. They have options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and omnivores. The food is fresh and nicely seasoned. The decor is very nice both inside and outside. It's a hidden gem in Balboa Park.“

“Enjoyed this noodle place and loved the options they had for soup! I tried their hot and sour soup and loved the flavor. My husband tried the pork broth that had so much flavor as well. Loved how you can add the toppings yourself and cooks in 10 seconds.

Maggie was an absolute gem taking care of us since it was our first time checking the place out!

Parking is a bit of a struggle when it's busy but there's street parking!

Must try if you're a soup lover!“

“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!“

“Travelling in the San Diego area, and my wife finds this place. After my previous nights dinner arrangement fail, a pig trough would have been an upgrade. This place was great. Greeted with a smile, food came out fast and was excellent. Mongolian beef and steamed pork dumplings. I could have eaten a 100 of those dumplings. Great value, service and experience.“

“When I left my parking ticket in the restaurant around closing, the staff looked in the trash to help me find it. Very kind. Also the food was great. My friend wished some of the music matched the culture of the food which is why I gave a 4 for atmosphere. Otherwise the vibes were good ?“

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

“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.“

“We decided to try a restaurant that we always to try. Lanzhou Noodlelicious is a fantastic place. The food was delicious and flavorful. It's great to see a chef make fresh hand pulled noodles for your dish. Our waiter, who was by himself, was great and answered all our questions about the dishes. He was friendly and work very hard to help all the guest. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup is one of the best I've had in San Diego. The best part is you get to choose the type of noodles you want in your dish. This was a great experience and the food was delicious. We definitely will return for another meal

1. Spicy Hot Oil Noodles
2. Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup
3.Chicken And Squid Skewers
4. Steamed buns (mantou)“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Combination fried rice, chicken popcorn, scallion pancake, green beans with beef and Mapo Tofu….“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“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.“

“It was good“

“delicious food! all of it“

“First time trying Taiwanese food - Delicious! And great service from Shawn. We'll be back.“

“Small charming place. The sushi rolls were creative, tasted great, and very reasonably priced. I was full from one roll even though it would usually take one and a half rolls at other places. Best local Del Sur/Carmel Valley place I know of so far.“

“Phenomenal soup! Loved the amount of spice and the flavor was top notch. Good amount of beef. Very tender. I got the Braised Beef bowl and was only sad that my giant spoon couldn’t get the last drop of broth at the bottom ;)
Might want to keep your napkin tucked into your shirt, splashing might show on ur shirt.“

“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. ♥️♥️♥️“

“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.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Ocean Beach.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ?“

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

“Loved the food here!! It is a small but clean and cute restaurant the food is so good! I called in my order with no problem. The service is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. We tried the larb salad, red and green curry, pad see ew noodle, curry puffs and we were not disappointed! The Curry puffs are a must try!!! I've never seen them at any other Thai place before, my all time favorite!!! I love quaint places like this! We will definitely be returning! It's in a small shopping center so lots of parking is available. Lots of options on the menu and not overpriced. I look forward to trying the pineapple fried rice next time.“

“First time back after a couple years and the food still tastes the same. The place still looks the same. Staff are still friendly and service is fast. We like ordering their fried rice dishes and noodles when we go. There are a couple parking spots available in the front. We parked at a public parking lot a few blocks away on the same street and the walk was very pleasant, with more places to see and try next time when in NP.

Spicy is SPICY here, if you wish..but not necessary.“

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

“Absolutely amazing authentic food, service and atmosphere. It is a true rare find! Sushi quality is above and beyond standard. Delicious, fresh and exquisite! Family owned restaurants with high standard of quality. Highly recommend for people who really appreciate quality sushi!“

“A food stall located within the Liberty Station Public Market. Staff were friendly and welcoming. My crab fried rice was ready in about 10-15 minutes after I ordered and it was delicious! I loved how they used actual crab meat and not imitation. The rice was well seasoned. I shared this dish with my daughter so I couldn’t order it spicy, but definitely will next time. I paid about $25 for the rice, soda and tip.“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“This is from an email, I sent to the owner that gave me no response. Hello, I have had issue a few times with ordering and service at both Yasai establishments. Yesterday our ordered was delivered via DoorDash and the bag was torn and box of vegan sushi which was open, when given to my husband by driver. The ramens seemed fine, due to The Yasai labeled sticker was placed to keep the food secure whereas the vegan sushi had no tape or sticker on it, which would have ensured or food would not have arrived open. This is unsanitary and unsafe especially during these times. Now DoorDash did give us a refund for the vegan sushi however, in our opinion like done at fine dining restaurants or other causal dining establishments the whole meal is usually comped for the inconvenience. We did not feel comfortable eating that sushi or reordering due to the fact it was opened and our food may have been tampered or exposed to something in the driver's car. We love The Yasai, but this was one of a few incidents that has lead me to right this email. The other issue is I went with a friend on 7/10/2022 in the evening to the restaurant on Convoy and was given a non- vegan dish. I am Vegan. I am not happy about eating anything from animals and the fact this mistake was made still bothers me. What really made this incident terrible is the person who served the food, never came to apologize. He left that on the waitress and another staff member perhaps manager to apologize. The waitress told me he knew that he had served us the wrong food and did not want to take responsibility. They gave us 50% off our meal and pretty much packed our food and rushed us out, probably in fear people would hear our dissatisfaction. This meal should have been comped. Also the server should have been the one to apologize. I am Vegan for my spiritual beliefs, health and love of animals. It's not anything to shrug off, respectfully. I was disappointed when I learned a couple months before that your restaurants decided to use animals and almost did not want to eat there any longer but because I love the ramen & sushi, we gave it a chance. But the lack of customer service and consideration floors me. This a business has two separate kitchens to avoid cross contamination so why would this happen other than the server not paying attention. I am very disappointed and this is not the experience we hope to have. We order at least once a month or come by to eat. My husband and I really felt it is important you know that loyal customers are not happy and if your business is going to have vegan food and meat based, it should be paramount that these issues don't happen. (There still hasn't been a response so I will post to each Yelp and to social media.)“

“Definitely a good place to eat. We liked pretty much everything we got. We had the tempura udon and the katsu curry udon, both were really good. The tempura was crispy and the katsu wasn't overcooked. We also had the takoyaki appetizer, which was pretty decent, not the best or worst I have had, but still tasty.“

“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.“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“2nd time this week eating there. Nice, cozy place, great food, great service. High recommended.“

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

“This place is low key amazing Thai food. Who knew a little spot in a business park could produce some of the best Thai food in town! The staff is great and working hard to handle all the customers (read dumb)that don't understand how to order food or wait in line.“

“Izakaya Sakura
San Diego, California

We were both craving Japanese Curry so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese Restaurants, Izakaya Sakura. The fish is always fresh and the curry is very flavorful. The staff members are great. There is a bit of a wait but they are always busy and you have to wait for delicious food.

1. Sashimi Platter Special
2. Curry & Rice w/ Deep Fried Pork
3. Curry & Rice w/ Eggplant“

“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. ??????“

“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!“

“The food is excellent.I feel like the guy that works here is always busy, so don't go in expecting to be pampered, but he'll get you your food and water when you need it and it will be delicious.I've tried the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice so far and it's all delicious. I was making my way through the menu each time I go but I'm just so hooked to the Pineapple Fried Rice that I've stopped trying other options there. My friends love what they get too.Plus, it's quiet as I believe most people just order out, so it's a great place to catch up with a friend.“

“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 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.“

“Large spicy plate of JaJang noodles, shared by two of us. Some squids, one or two shrimps, onions, cabbage, wood ears...mixed in loaded black bean sauce with noodles. Noodles texture is good. A bit sweet, a bit spicy. Too much sauce and too sweet for me. Would like to try their spicy seafood noodle soup next time.“

“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“
