    Wonton noodle soup
    Imee C.

    Came here for a late lunch/early dinner. We places our order at the counter and they gave is a number to put on our table. We had the wonton noodle soup which had a very tasty broth with lots of vegetables, which I like. The spicy thai fried rice was spicy for me but my mom loved it. The egg rolls were crunchy and very good.

    Pork Adobo with rice
    Yasmin D.

    Ate lunch here today since we had this group tour at Viejas. The stars are for the friendly service and clean place to sit down and eat. The food is forgettable and it's sad because that's my kind of food. I ordered the Vegetable Egg Roll ($8) which comes out as 4 egg rolls with sweet chili dipping sauce. Egg rolls came quickly cooked alright, but the veggies are thinly sliced which is bland. The chili dipping sauce didn't help either. The Pork Adobo which comes with a cup of rice ($16) looked tasty and the serving was huge! That's about it. The meat was tender but a lot of fat and oh wow...that's not the pork adobo I know. Just a very disappointing lunch. Yeah, didn't finish it. I got a $10 discount and some other discount from the members card, I still paid $12. They give you a free small bottled water. Order and pay 1st at the entrance before being seated. If dining, eat at the outlet food stalls. They got discount coupons available at the service center.

    The food was great, service was friendly, and the resturnt was nice and clean. I like that you order and then sit down. They bring the food to you and it's very relaxing. Pros: * Delicious food; recommend the broccoli beef and chicken pho. * Friendly and fast service * Clean and modern restaurant Cons: * N/A Extra: * show your players card for a discount

    Vegetable Pad Thai, Thai riced rice (contains chicken)

    Flavorful! Fast and delicious. Really one of my favorite pad Thai ever. Lots of chicken in the fried rice. I had three plates of this and I rarely go back for seconds!

    Wonton noodle soup
    Monica M.

    This was an unexpected surprise! We dipped in for a late night snack after a concert and opted for a shared dish of won ton noodle soup and some veggie rolls - we were not disappointed. The venue was located inside of the Viejas Casino and while there was a line to get in, the wait was not long at all. You order at the cashier's booth, seated, and your food is brought to you. The restaurant was abuzz with kitchen noises: shuffling of pots and pans and cozy steam coming from the kitchen suggesting the food is made on the spot. Our soup could not have been more satisfying - the broth was savory, the veggies still had some crunch, and portion was substantial- no skimping of anything! We both managed two servings each with generous portions of wonton AND noodles that tasted home made. Even though it was late the restaurant was busy and staff were helpful! Definitely a place to keep in mind if I visit again.

    The only Asian food available inside Viejas Casino. It's not bad, but not the best either. It's a great place to eat if you're craving that Asian flavor up here in alpine. The service is excellent, they take your order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's a great grab and go place. Definitely bring someone to eat with here since the portions are family style.

    Eating spring rolls and fried rice
    Robert B.

    The service was a bit slow during a time the restaurant was not very busy. The fried rice was fair at best. I have had better. The Vietnamese Spring Rolls were not good at all. The meat used in the fried rice and spring rolls was a bit tough. There is a 15% discount for veterans with a Viejas Heroes Club card, available to all U.S. military veterans. After giving Ginger Noodle Bar a try, I do not care to dine there again.

    There's a wait to get in. Not long but a small line. Went here on a Saturday afternoon. The cashier was a nice lady who was patient and helped us out with questions. You order at the register, and sit yourself type of small restaurant. Once you order, they just drop off the food. That's it. No one will come to your table, if you need anything just get up and ask the counter. The food came out about 5-10mins. The plate was smaller than expected. Not a lot of vegetables. Simple and plain. Not much too it. Other than the food being okay, service was mediocre. We left a tip of course prior to even getting additional service. Tip is for the folks that come bring the food and clean up the table. Side note: first time here and I won! Beginner's luck :)

    We ordered the General Tso chicken to go and took it to our room, it was drenched in sauce and fatty pieces of chicken, I ate a couple of pieces and found it to be disgusting, we were too tired to take it back. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Chicken Pas Thai.
    Joanna I.

    If you like authentic Pad Thai, you may want to order something else. It lacked the peanuts, egg, and lime and sauce was a bit bland.

    Kung Pao Chicken

    Food was soild. The service was great. The vibe was chill. Food came out fast and hot. We got Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein. Tender Chicken. Good flavor. Peppers and onions could of been more fresh. Shrimp had good texture. Noodles were cooked properly. Can't complain. Cheap, fast, and efficient.

    Drunken Noodle
    Sequara M.

    My absolute favorite! Their food is so good every time it's always packed full of guests. There is little to no wait time and I love how the menu is straight to the point plus very authentic. When I'm craving noodles or pho this is our go to!

    Large, clean beautiful restaurant.

    Oi Fusion in Carmel Mountain is a casual Asian fusion spot with bowls, fries, wings, desserts, and…read morehonestly a menu where everything sounds good. One of my favorite things about this place is how easy it is. You order on the kiosk, grab a seat, and your food usually comes out within like 10-15 minutes. The inside has a lot of seating and even games like Jenga which makes it feel like a fun spot to hang out for lunch. I didn't interact much with service since I used the kiosk, but the worker upfront was really friendly and even brought my takeout to my table. This time I tried the Dynamite Crawfish Bowl and the Dynamite Fries. The bowl comes with crawfish, rice, dynamite sauce, eel sauce, seaweed, sesame seeds, and pickled radish on top. The fries normally come with sweet potato fries but I swapped mine for regular fries because I just wasn't feeling sweet potato that day. The fries were honestly kind of underwhelming. It was basically fries with dynamite sauce and only a few pieces of garlic confit, which was the part I was most excited for. They weren't bad, just really underwhelming. I honestly think the sweet potato fries probably would've worked better with the flavors. The crawfish bowl though was really good. The crawfish had this slight smoky flavor to it like it was lightly torched and they give you a lot in each bite. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly and the pickled radish on top helped cut through all the richness from the sauces. Everything worked really well together flavor wise. My only complaint is that halfway through the bowl the flavors started blending together a little too much and it gets boring, but overall it was still super satisfying and filling. Definitely still one of my favorite quick lunch spots in Carmel Mountain and somewhere I'd bring friends because the menu has so many good options. Their dessert menu also sounds insane so I already know I'll be back.

When we arrived, the restaurant was bustling. Fortunately, the bar is located in the front next to the check in counter and they have couches where you can sit while enjoying a drink and browsing the menu. The only thing I didn't really like was that they make you close your tab at the bar before you get seated instead of adding the tab to your final bill. For drinks, we ordered the Artemis, Midnight in Manila, and 7 Star Sling. Midnight in Manila tasted like coconut juice with a hint of ube flavor. That was our favorite drink. The Artemis was also good but I wish the lychee flavor was stronger. We did not like the 7 Star Sling because it tasted very sharp and bitter. For a non-alcoholic option, we ordered the Melon Milk Tea which was surprisingly really good. The drink was light and refreshing and the boba was the perfect chewy texture. For food, we ordered the tuna kinilaw, coconut prawns, coal roasted cabbage, wagyu corned beef fried rice, and lobster palabok. Everything was good except for the coal roasted cabbage. The portion sizes were bigger than expected so don't be like us and order too much. Their dishes are definitely meant to be shared. Overall, I loved the ambiance and service was great. Our dishes came out fairly quick and the servers were good with clearing out finished dishes and switching out the silverware. Would definitely come back next time I'm in San Diego.

As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.
