24 Best Soup near Santee

“Food is great, atmosphere very comfortable... but service is hit or miss. One day it's great; another day the server keeps disappearing and you can't get a breadstick to go with your soup until the soup is cold... very frustrating.“

“We've ordered from this restaurant through DoorDash three times now (most recently on 6/21). We really enjoy the Vegetable Lo Mein and the Salt & Pepper Tofu, they've both been delicious every time.

The only issue we've had is with the rice. Each time we've ordered, the rice hasn't been included, even though the DoorDash menu and item description state that the meal is served with rice. After the first two orders, I reported the missing rice through DoorDash.

Today, before placing our third order, I called the restaurant directly to make sure the rice would be included. I was told that rice does not come with the meal and is an additional $2.50. I tried explaining that the DoorDash menu says it's served with rice, so the menu description should probably be updated if that's no longer the case. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a communication barrier, and I was simply told again that rice costs $2.50.

I couldn't find an email address to contact the restaurant directly, so I'm leaving this review in hopes that someone will update the DoorDash menu to match what is actually served. I also noticed the restaurant's online ordering website lists a side of steamed rice for $4.99, while I was quoted $2.50 over the phone, so there seems to be some inconsistency there as well.

The food is good, and this review isn't about the quality, it's simply to help correct what appears to be a menu error so future customers know what to expect.“

“The sandwich was good“

“Stopped by here for dinner, we had the number 1 basically everything in it, broth was good and plenty of meat, we also got the egg rolls which was also very tasty, only thing that was so/so was the ube boba next time we will try the thai flavor, but all in all the best place to get pho in San Diego“

“I visited Ju Feng Yuan in Poway for the first time recently and was really impressed! This Chinese establishment specializes in handmade XiaoLongBao, handmade dumplings, beef noodles, pancakes, and stir-fried entrees. Upon entering I delighted in seeing the adorable smiling dumpling boy character. Despite being in a strip mall, this clean, well decorated restaurant exudes a classy vibe. The tables are elegantly appointed, to include a tablet ordering system. The interface was clear and easy to navigate. Not at all cumbersome and clumsy like those tacky Ziosk machines. My waiter was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. He thoughtfully offered recommendations, and I enjoyed visiting with him. The Green Onion Pancake was outstanding, although oddly served in a basket. My Pork Wontons in Chili Oil were excellent. Not overly spicy, just about perfect for my taste. Among the finer versions of this dish I’ve had. Overall, I highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.“

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

“There’s something special about a restaurant that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. That's exactly what happened here. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was attentive, and the food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh and carefully prepared. I left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return.“

“We had an outstanding experience at Olive Garden thanks to Ari, our server, and Jesse, our food runner. Ari was incredibly attentive, professional, and proactive throughout our entire meal. We never had to ask for refills, extra napkins, or anything else. He was always one step ahead and made sure everything was perfect.

Jesse was equally impressive, delivering food promptly and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The teamwork between them was exceptional.

This was honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, and it surpassed the level of service we’ve received at some fine dining restaurants. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and genuine care for the customer made all the difference. We will definitely be back and hope to be served by them again!“

“Staying in the area for the weekend, so we tried this place and it was so good! We got sweet and sour chicken, spicy garlic beef, house fried rice and dumplings. Everything was very good, and big family style portions. Our server was very nice and friendly, I would definitely come back here.“

“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 restaurant provides a consistently great experience every time I visit. The food is always fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, with balanced flavors that suit a wide range of preferences. The service is quick, efficient, and very polite. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and comfortable. Whether dining alone or with family, it’s always a satisfying experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and reliable service.“

“Tried this for the first time a few months ago. Went back again tonight because we enjoyed it so much. The house fried rice that has chicken, beef, and shrimp is amazing!!! Enjoyed it so much we decided to come monthly now. Great value and we get the 20% off coupon which make it a very good value. Good portions sized too.“

“I accidently ordered from the wrong location for pickup and was ready to pay a second time just get the food but they insisted I did not pay again and prepared the food I ordered anyway. Absolutely lovely people, it was very kind of them. As for the food itself, it was great with generous proportions to boot.“

“This is my favorite place to eat Thai food in Poway. Always friendly good service excellent food.“

“Food came out quickly. Good quality.“

“Went to dinner with family last night and had amazing experience. We ordered the spring rolls, lemonade, Vietnamese coffee, chicken pho for our kiddo and rare/well done steak for ourselves. Portions are huge, pho is incredibly flavorful, and to this day they serve the best Vietnamese coffee I have tried from any Pho restaurant in SD (and I have tried many)!!! Restaurant was busy (you know it's good when the restaurant be crowded), but they served us fairly quickly and staff were very sweet. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for great Pho place near Spring Valley Area.“

“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“

“Kind, helpful people, amazing fresh food! They hand make the chicken salad so I try to call before I get there to give them time. They are amazing.

Dietary restrictions: They work so hard to meet all my difficult allergies. They are always so kind.

Kid-friendliness: They are awesome and will not cook up your human or animal children.“

“The restaurant is quite lovely, as was our server Brenda - the best I've ever personally had the pleasure of dining with. We split our entree and still had more than enough for each person's portion. Brenda was very considerate and generous with every accommodation we requested of her. Everything was great and served promptly and thoughtfully. Fantastic food and service.“

“I stopped by today and was very happy with their service and menu items. Irvin, the manager, was kind, answered all of my questions and was very pleasant. I also found out they have pinto beans, which was perfect for my diet. I included them in my burrito to make it healthy. My burrito was fantastic and everything I desired for my Sunday lunch. I highly recommend Nancy’s Taco Shop.“

“We've eaten here several times now and generally find it quite good. It's a tiny place but they seem to do more takeout than eat in so we've never had to wait for a table. Just there again last week and had a couple noodle dishes and a rice dish. Good food, friendly service - we're happy to support this small business!“

“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“

“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.“
