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

“Our server Trinity was super friendly and welcoming! I tried the egg rolls, chicken wings and got short rib boneless pho. The egg rolls and chicken were crunchy and delicious, and the pho was really good. Overall 10/10 food and 10/10 experience!“

“Excellent food, the flavor isn't lost even with the ingredients you add to your dish. One recommendation, even though it's at least a pound of food plus noodles, don't use two packets; one is enough and you'll enjoy your meal perfectly. just one think Parking is terrible!!!“

“delicious food! all of it“

“WOW!! If I could give more stars I would. Walked in at 6pm and was seated right away! The gyoza came out within 5 minutes and the entrees within 10 minutes of ordering. The food was absolutely mouth watering across the board!!! We got the pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles roasted pork. The lavender milk tea was an absolute delight and the server was so kind and attentive. Definitely our new favorite Thai spot :)“

“Good food and good service as always!! We went every time when we were in San Diego. This restaurant high recommend 😋“

“Great breakfast items! Great family 💙“

“it was perfect. and I was visiting from Illinois. so good experience.“

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

“Wow! Being from Texas it’s hard to compete in my opinion with our Tex-Mex but the food here is absolutely wonderful! If I am ever in San Diego again…. Definitely will be back!“

“Pho Cow Cali Express is located in Mira Mesa just a few blocks west of the 15 freeway on Mira Mesa Blvd. I’ve been here numerous times purely for nostalgia and because my family likes it here.

Sometimes you’ll see a line out the door so you’ll need to sign in. The wait time is typically quick unless you have a huge party.

My order usually consists of their Grilled BBQ Pork Vermicelli (Bun Thit Nuong) and their Egg Rolls (Cha Gio).

This restaurant has plenty of seats and the ambiance is very casual. There are TVs around and it’s mid-noisy inside.

The service is pretty quick given that the menu isn’t as large as other Vietnamese restaurants. There’s prices are also decent and competitive for the area. The servers are really just there to take orders, bring out orders, etc. - very casual dining.

One thing to note: The aroma will stick to your skin, hair, and clothing! And it’s pretty intense. It should definitely be your last stop of the day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Overall, Pho Cow Cali dishes out simple Vietnamese food, where the service is quick and dining is casual.“

“All of the food was extremely flavorful and uniquely savory but still sweet. Although the special combos are meant for 1 person, they can DEFINITELY feed 2. My party ordered their special combo 1, popcorn chicken, and rice cakes. Their spicy cold noodles and rice cakes were just the right amount of hotness. Definitely added to the dish rather than overpowered it. Same with the side dishes. My favorite was their rice cakes. Overall solid korean spot!“

“Definitely an interesting place to eat. Everyone really nice. Food was reasonably priced, but not very generous portions , service was slow but it was Yeshiva week!
I also would have appreciated if owner would have updated their website or Google maps to reflect that They would be closed on Martin Luther king day.“

“Went in for Sunday after Christmas for dinner because we had a gift card. It was very busy, but we didn’t have to wait long. We were a party of 9 with 5 kids. Our waiter and waitress were amazing! I think Connor and Lyn are their names The place is very kid friendly. The food was good, but I will be back for the great service alone!. They did a great job taking the kids orders, filling up our drinks, checking in on us, removing the plates and bringing in more breadsticks! It’s rare to get that kind of service anymore. We loved it! Haven’t had such a great service in a while! We won’t be waiting for a gift card to go back. I hope this review helps them bring in costumers so they can get nice tips!“

“Decent Pho and Vietnamese option in proximity to downtown. I ordered their house special beef pho that comes with multiple different cuts of meat. Broth and meat quality was decent but I’ve had better. Staff were friendly, attentive, and no wait. Good prices for the quantity of food received. Relatively easy parking.“

“Eaten here numerous times. Excellent quality food, and service. Equivalent to San Francisco Bay Area Japanese restaurants..which are outstanding.“

“If you're looking for quality Korean BBQ, then look no further than SongHak! We have come several times now, and we are always impressed by the quality of the food here.

Our favorite items to order are the Combo #3 as it gives a good variety of meats. You can see how beautiful the marbling is on the meat even before it's cooked, and you'll know you've made the right choice eating here!

We like getting some of their other menu items like Tteokbokki and Kimchi Pancake that tie the meal all together nicely.

Would definitely recommend coming to Songhak for a great Korean BBQ meal!“

“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“

“This place never dissapoints! I love their stir fried sirloin steak and onions on a bed of salad. Also their birds nest combo chow mein is plenty and affordable. Duck Soup is amazing. Parking is a little tricky. But this hole in the wall eatery is phenominal! A must go destination.“

“Food came out quickly. Good quality.“

“It was the best pho on a rainy day. And it was the best banh mi I’ve ever had! I realized later that I had left my credit card behind, but luckily I was able to get it back even though the shop was closed. I’m truly grateful to the staff member who welcomed me with such a warm smile. Thanks to you, I was able to end my last day before the flight feeling happy and warm. If I visit San Diego again, this is definitely a place I want to come back to.
감사합니다❤️“

“If you want to have real Colombian food without cutting any corners, this is the place! I have visited the restaurant several times, and each time it is a do over. I was born in Cali, Colombia in 1961, and the flavor of the food reminds me what real Colombian food taste like. The staff is friendly, and the owner is a very special, hard-working woman. Hats off to her and her business. I recommend this restaurant. Dr. Fernando Garay San Diego“

“Olive Garden never disappoints! We truly enjoyed our dinner—the food was delicious, and the complimentary soup and salad were a perfect start to the meal with bread. We began with the Stuffed Ziti Fritta as an appetizer, followed by Fettuccine Alfredo and the Grilled Chicken Margherita. The portions were very generous—more than enough for two people.
The service was excellent, the food quality was great, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a must-visit place for a satisfying meal. 🍝✨“

“Definitely my favorite thai place in all f California! There level thee is hot and apicy lot of flavors… quiet spot and attentive staff… will be back! We got chx padd thai extra sauce med spice alont with a secone dish of the twins chx and shrimp
Dish spicy on that one was great!“

“BEST JAPANESE BBQ SPOT EVER! My family have been consistently coming to this resturant for years to celebrate any special occasions or birthdays. The meat, rice, side dishes, and rice are always delicious. The staff are welcoming, accomodating, and even recognize my family now. I highly reccomend the family combo as it offers a good balance of beef variety and value, especially for larger parties. The portions are not the largest and on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for the quality over quantity. Free parking but it's difficult to find available spots especially at night, as expected of Convoy tho. The restroom is nothing special, single room, and in the back next to the kitchen. Will definitely continue to eat here !!“

“My main reason for stopping in was to use the print kiosk; however, I decided to grab a 12 ounce French roast. I'm glad I did. Dark but not bitter. Not too acidic. The atmosphere of this cafe is awesome. Some cool art posted for sale. Fair price on the coffee. It was less than $3 before tip. Cashier was really friendly in answering my questions. Thanks!“

“When I drove past this restaurant, I knew it was going to deliver that quintessential New York style Chinese cuisine. I finally got to try it and it did not disappoint! I went in for lunch and got the Kung Pao Beef with added broccoli (+3) , and hot jasmine tea. Everything tasted delicious and our server was a polite gentlemen. I would definitely come back and try their other meals.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“I love their bright, modern-minimalist interior! They have comfy chairs and booths with a nice assortment of plants for decor. I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here (highly recommend the chipotle chicken Gouda panini—so delicious!!). I appreciate how this bistro is very affordable, especially compared to other places, while maintaining superior quality of food. Honestly one of the better paninis I’ve had, and at a much cheaper price! Service with a smile here; the staff are so friendly.“

“They’re a great family run business. Their food is delicious. Especially the bacon wrapped shrimp. Off the chain. A must go.“

“My children and I all ordered the same thing 'carne asada torta' with a side of French fries. I didn't like the salsa very much but that was just personal preferences. The Tamarindo drink tasted watered down and was lacking flavor.“

“I’m still thinking about the food from Chin's Szechwan. The Hunan chicken with black bean sauce was so addicting—bold, savory, and packed with flavor. I honestly couldn’t stop eating it and keep craving it even after the meal.

The sweet and sour pork was also a standout, especially because it was boneless, which made it so easy and enjoyable to eat. Even the bok choy with mushrooms completely surprised me—it tasted amazing on its own and didn’t feel like just a side dish at all.

Everything was flavorful, well-cooked, and super satisfying. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Brilliant place the quiet little shop peaceful and so clean. Great customer service helpful and polite. The wild rice and chicken soup is the best I ever had I love introducing people to this place. Only set back is limited locations o wish they had one closer to to 8 freeway near mission valley or maybe Southpark.“

“Wicked West is a multi purpose venue for a good time. They have a great bar with great bartenders. We've had a few parties there and always had a great time. Also they have a in door area and outdoor area for private events. It's spacious and has great decor.“

“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. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Soooooo delicious!! First time here as I was craving a rice dish with beef and veggies. I got the #1 Hot Stone Beef dish. So impressive. It was a perfect dish with HUGE flavors in every bite. Loved the extra side dishes with Kimchee, Fish Cake and Cucumbers. Is it worth the price? YES! I rather spend here again than go McDonalds!

Located in H-Mart food court! I will definitely put this on top of my go to places for sure.“

“I ordered Dan Dan noodles and cold spicy chicken for take out. The noodles were ok but the chicken was very delicious.

It’s my first time inside. It was traditional Chinese decoration. I’m impressed with the entrance. I’ll have to dine in soon and try other dishes.“

“I just realized I never put a review. This place is phenomenal, like the food is so good and flavorful. I can tell its cooked with love. The orange chicken and soup noodles are my personal top favorites, I can honestly say I've never had a bad dish here, and I come here whenever Im near convoy.

The prices are affordable and the portions are sizeable. 10/10 place! I reccomend this place to all my family and friends :)“

“Got take out from here yesterday. Pork bahn mi and chicken curry. Bahn mi was great, would order again. Curry was much more similar to chicken noodle soup (Without the noodles) than any curry i've had before. Was still good, just not what i was expecting.“

“The pho was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had—rich, aromatic broth that was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to perfection, soaking up all that deliciousness.“

“Kiin Extraordinary Thai truly lives up to its name. The flavors are bold, authentic, and beautifully balanced, every dish tastes thoughtfully crafted and full of fresh ingredients. From their rich curries to the perfectly seasoned noodles and vibrant appetizers, everything is consistently delicious and packed with real Thai flavor.

The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. Portions are generous, presentation is excellent, and the quality stands out every time.

If you’re craving Thai food that feels elevated without losing its authenticity, Kiin Extraordinary Thai is an absolute must-visit. Exceptional food, great service, and an overall memorable dining experience.“

“🙂👍 Kai and her staff are awesome and do a great job!“

“loved the chai tea latte Mostly that they have had tables out for some time and now indoor.... but it was so nice that we sat outside“

“I really like the vibe, is it good for working and seating alone also for hanging out. But for working it is not super quiet but still good for me.
I love their chicken bbq sandwich and cesar salad.
Also the hazelnut coffee is really good.
Orders get ready really fast and is great for having a quick snack especially because you can order half sized sandwiches and …“

“Panera Bread has consistently good quality food, a varied menu, and customization offerings. The personnel are welcoming, hard working, personable and professional. The dining room is well maintained and clean (tables and floor/carpet) and the trash/dirty dishes area is attended to frequently. The seasonal menu specialties are always fun.
JUAN is the BEST. I misplaced my phone and Juan stopped to personally assist me actively- he found it! A wonderful kindness to a traveling person panicking over a temporarily missing phone. Thank you again Juan!“

“This has to be my favorite location by far. They never disappoint, from there friendly customer service ,fresh pastries, bread bowls they deliver. Keep up the awesome work!“

“The both is so delicious. The food is good home made cooking. This is my new spot to come and eat. I recommend it to anyone. Come enjoy great food.“

“I'm from LA and I have to say I received some of the best customer service I've ever had from Ashley. She gave me excellent recommendations for soups and meals, and even told me about available discounts using my phone number. I'll definitely come back here when I return. I really recommend 100/100!“

“Awesome service, great prices, wonderful food and friendly service staff.“
