Sipz has been around SD for ages. Think I ate there for first time in 2002-ish.Always consistent vegetarian Asian food. Lots of fake meat and vegan deserts and It’s all pretty good. The orange chicken is exactly what you want in orange “chicken”. Sweet, chewy and completely unhealthy. The veg pho and crispy chow mein are solid as well. Is it the best Thai, Chinese, Japanese food…well no. There’s plenty better out there. For someone who is a strict vegan though there’s few other places that have such a large menu of options. Oh and the veg sushi on the weekends is great.Vegetarian options: All vegetarian, mostly vegan
hands down some of the best vegetarian cuisine I've ever had 10/10

Hard to beat delicious and cheap vegan food! We ordered the orange "chicken", veggie surprise and the "crab" wontons. For dessert, the coconut cupcake and pandan cookie were phenomenal. Definitely are coming again!

The paella was great. Tasty and robust serving. The soup was dull and there was hardly any flavor to it. Sevice was barely there. Order s are placed at the counter and food delivered to your table. After that, you are on your own. You have to always get up and look for help or get what you need yourself. The atmosphere was dreary, dark and unconducive to having a pleasant, uplifting meal.

Not vegetarian and quite enjoyed it. Will go again.Vegetarian options: Decent selection. "Meat" choices are def veggie but not bad considering I'm carnivorous.Parking: Parking lot out front.lookslarge enough to accommodate lots of parking. Other business share. May get full night's and weekends.Kid-friendliness: Saw a couple families with younger kids who were happy as could be. A rush was on and the staff were pleasant and even joking with the kids.

Solid spot for vegan food. Food is fine, not spectacular, and there are a lot of options and almost everything is vegan. I would advise the owner to ask him employees not to talk to clientele about how they "just can't go vegan" because vegans hear this a lot and it is upsetting and frustrating, and, frankly, we come to places like Sipz because they should be a haven from having to confront that kind of discourse when eating out. As vegans, we constantly have to answer questions, do outreach, and hear people's excuses for why they "just can't" stop eating animals, especially when eating at places that are not vegan friendly. But at an all veg restaurant, please give us a break!Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly

This is the good Sipz location the North Park one doesn't know what they're doing. The food at Clairmont Sipz is always delicious. Too bad you can't pick the location you want to doordash to deliver from, because when you get your food from this one you can tell it's so much better tasting.Updated to say it's still amazing.

Portion sizes are inconsistent. My friend ordered the same thing as me, the Kung Pao, but I paid an extra $5 for mock-duck however the amount served in my bowl was half the size as hers and was much more saucey. If a customer is paying extra for a different protein it shouldn't reduce or change the serving size. It was a very obvious difference to the whole table, so the kitchen should have notice especially since it all came out at the same time. Now that said the food was great and Sipz is still my favorite place for deserts in SD. Their Ube cake is to die for!!! I am only reducing the stars because of inconsistencies I have noticed from multiple visits and the quality control not being maintained when the owner is not there.
So sad. Been to this place a few times. Always get it to go. Today I ordered the Veggi Pad Thai. It was SO disappointing ?I have not ordered this dish from here before but because everything I’ve tried in the past was good…..I trusted it would be “good”.It was really BAD? the noodles were packed in the container soo tightly that I could lift the entire gloppy mess with one chopstick. The only veggies were onions. The sauce was sooooo salty and the vegan chicken was , just bad. I ate all the onions and tossed the rest into the can. Still hungry! And my wallet is $14 lighter! :(Bummer Sipz. May think twice next time.

This place used to have excellent food that tasted authentic.... Now their meat all tastes like breakfast sausage, they take orders at the corner, but the counter is too busy with calls and online orders to handle the dive in guests.... Such a shame.... Someone please save this restaurant... Help them restore pride in their food....
