Outstanding customer service today from our server Victoria and manager Jason. From beginning to…read moreend we were greeted fast and friendly. Checked up on, food out very fast. Decor was chill and noise volume was low-medium. Overall 10/10. Food favs of today: brisket(one of the best I have had from a restaurant) it was tender, packed full of flavor and had the perfect balance of meat, fat, and rub. Cole slaw was great and I'm not a fan of Cole slaw usually! Rack of Ribs were good! Macaroni salad, potato salad were flavored well! Caesar salad was fresh and dressing tasty. My friend liked the jalapeño cornbread but it was too spicy for me. It had great flavor it's just personally my stomach would reject that spice. Next time I'll try the wedding beans and other food items. Bartender was friendly so I might come back just to hit up the bar area as well! It's a far drive of 20 mins for each of us but it's well worth it.

I have been a VIP member for over 10 years and have celebrated Father's Day, birthdays, and many…read morespecial occasions here throughout that time. Recently, I brought my father and my boyfriend for his first visit, expecting the same quality experience I had enjoyed for years. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. The menu has been significantly reduced, offering only a limited selection of options, while prices have increased substantially. I ordered the half chicken with brisket as my additional side for $38. When my meal arrived, I received only two pieces of chicken and a single piece of brisket. Upon cutting into the chicken, I noticed blood on the plate and the meat appeared pink. As I am currently pregnant, I did not feel comfortable eating it and asked our server if the chicken could be cooked longer. Instead, the manager came to the table holding my plate and explained that the chicken had been checked with a thermometer and was safe to eat. When I expressed my concerns regarding my pregnancy, he rolled his eyes and told me to choose something else rather than offering to cook the chicken further. I then asked if I could receive additional brisket since I was no longer comfortable eating the chicken. The manager responded, "That will cost more," and walked away. When my replacement arrived, I was served only two very small pieces of brisket and was charged extra for them. I am genuinely shocked by the lack of professionalism and customer service from the management team. Combined with the increased prices and noticeably smaller portions, the overall value simply is not there anymore. For longtime loyal customers, this experience was especially disappointing. After sharing my experience with family and friends, several decided not to visit, and unfortunately, I will not be returning either. The quality, portion sizes, and customer service no longer justify the cost. If you are looking for both quality and value, I would recommend considering other options.

Finally went to try the Gud Burger, I must say...THIS is honestly my fav burger, EVER!…read more The Güd Burger definitely lives up to its hype! From the first bite, you can tell it's made with quality ingredients. The double wagyu patties were juicy and flavorful, and the melted cheese paired perfectly with the sweet chili aioli. The ube brioche bun wasn't just beautiful--it added a subtle sweetness that elevated the entire burger without overpowering it. Every ingredient complemented the next, making each bite rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. This isn't your average burger, If you're looking for something unique, indulgent, and absolutely delicious, this is a must-try. I added the sidewinder fries, and omg the sauce it comes with is so so good. The whole entire meal was amazing! Service is always great, they treat you like family and show mad love. This is the restaurant you want to show your love and support to. They pay it forward in their food, thank you for serving our community!

I've been seeing videos of this popping up on my tik tok so I ended up trying it one of the days…read more The drive was pretty far since it's close to spring valley. There was plenty of parking in the plaza that it was located in luckily. I got the fried chicken burger, ube churros and the crispy pork belly. The burger was pretty good and had some sweet heat to it due to the sauce. The crispy chicken patty inside was very flavorful and crispy. The chicken pork belly was my least favorite it was kind of hard and too fatty. The ube churro with glazed dip was delicious! Highly recommend getting it to have on the side after your dessert.

I've driven by this spot a bunch of times before finally giving in and trying it -- and I'm glad I…read moredid. No hype, just deep, rich flavor done right. The pho broth is the standout: clean, savory, and clearly simmered with intention. Nothing muddy or flat here -- just layered flavor that holds up from the first sip to the last. I ordered the combination pho, and it was hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you're craving something comforting but bold. The egg rolls are crispy and well-executed, not greasy or forgettable, and the portions are generous across the board. This is one of those places you finish eating and immediately think about when you're coming back. No hype -- just deep, rich flavor that speaks for itself.

As a vegetarian, I always come here and get the Tofu Veggie Fried Rice. The vegetables are fresh,…read morethe tofu is well seasoned, and the texture is amazing. The tofu itself is the BEST tofu--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. This time I tried the V4 Pad Thai Tofu and it didn't disappoint. I chose level 5 for the spice, and it was the perfect kick--bold but not overpowering. The noodles were so good: not hard or chewy, just the right texture. The crushed peanuts added an extra layer of flavor and crunch that brought everything together. Sweet, savory, spicy, and satisfying--this dish hit every note. Overall: -The food: 10/10 One of the best spots in Spring Valley and near La Mesa for plant-based eaters, offering standout dishes where vegan and vegetarian options are otherwise scare. The decor strikes a playful yet serene balance, with adorable fish adding a whimsical touch that delights guests of all ages. The aquatic elements create a calming backdrop, while the consistently spotless environment speaks to the staff's attention to detail and pride in presentation. Whether you're dining solo or with company, the space feels welcoming, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed. -The service: 10/10 I was waiting at my car and she brought the food out to my car .

The coffee was high quality, smooth, and loaded with flavor. I wanted to give a special shout out to Sandi and Daniel because they told me it was a family-run business. They were friendly, professional, and hospitable to me. I loved the personal connection I felt which made me feel right at home. It is located in Spring Valley on Campo Road tucked away. They are a hidden gem that must be experienced. I need to come back with my appetite because they have it all here. Thank you Sandi and Daniel for giving the small-town friendly coffee experience that is rare to experience in a big city.

I was so excited to get myself a VEAL kebab for my birthday lunch and I was served a plate of fat... not sure if it was cooked properly... you can immediately tell.

On the positive side, the chicken still taste amazing and so does the fattoush. The lentil soup was good as well.. very flavorful.
