“the pho mai was really great, came with a lot of meat and toppings. the flavor was awesome and the noodles were very bouncy.
the rare meat pho was also really good, and extra noodles were only $2.
the bbq rice plate had a variety of meats, but i think it would taste better with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. the spring rolls had a great texture but didn’t have a lot of meat.
the service overall was good and the server was super attentive. you can also get a free drink by leaving a review!“

WELL GUESS WHAT!!!?? THEY HAVE IT! I have tried the birria tacos, mini birria tacos,birria quesadilla and the birria nachos. Mini tacos are the best. I loved the nachos too. The amazing gal that works there gave me the sauce she likes on hers and it was amazing. I love you guys. You definitely know that. You hit it out of the park this time! 🙌🏻“

“Wow, the New Birria here is cracked 😍 So good.

The chilaquiles were recommended by my Aunt several times so we tried it. They are a well rounded and great tasting breakfast. Awesome price point too.

Much like many restaurants, the sauce is a big decider if I come back, like ranch at an American Style restaurant and fortunately the salsa here is fire 🔥 Salsa bars are great.

Thier Horchata I would give an 8/10. 1, it isnt the most amazing but definitely good but 2, NO REFILLS. The only reason for the 4/5 stars. It gives me less reason to come back.

Edit:Updated to 5 stars at my wife's request, apparently horchata refills aren't very common. Perhaps I'm remembering a different time when it was more common.“

Basically, if you see me at Ferny’s on Tuesday… mind your business. I’m here for the tacos. 😂🌮“

Ahmad overheard us and came over to help, he honored my reward meal and even helped me set up a new account so I wouldn’t have the same issue again.
On to the atmosphere here it feels very alive, with TVs playing sports, music, and a bar to enjoy a beer. The food at this location never disappoints either. It’s always fresh and full of flavor. There’s a reason they’re voted Best Wings in San Diego!“

Upon looking into their menu I immediately noticed they are much less expensive than other places like Benihana. They offer a nIce selection of hibachi style combination dinners. If you enjoy sushi, they have that too!

The portions are generous, and the flavors are amazing! The chef cooks your meats exactly to your liking. And you get to enjoy watching them as they prepare your food. Before they start cooking you can sit back, relax, and watch the chef perform a few tricks.

Overall, we had a great time. The service was friendly, and our hibachi chef was fun and entertaining! We are definitely coming back!“
