    EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!…read more Seasonal menu (kind of) as told by servers. This would be my 3rd time here. Reservations are hard to get for the same week. Plan ahead! Fried pork ears, charred kimchi, and lamb chops I can eat all day! And those are just the apps! Dimly lit, very nice ambiance.

    This place is very sexy and perfect for date night! We had reservations at 9:30pm on a Saturday…read morenight but I saw they close at 9:30pm so I was scared they were closing soon and decided to come a bit earlier. 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.

    Animae - The hub checkin out the menu. Our reservation was first seating at 5pm. We beat the crowd which filled the place later.

    Oh my God! Actual Asian Food That tastes legit, Cooked by an Asian chef who owns the joint and it's…read morein Tijuana! Yay! I literally have no explanation why there aren't more awesome Asian places on this side. But thank God there is at least one. It's a literal hole in the wall and as cliché as it may sound it's one of those hidden gems. It's next-door to the Hyatt place; located in the Soriana supermarket building. Even then it's in a hard to see corner unless you know it's there. They really need your help to spread the word . It would be a pity if they are unsuccessful because nobody knows they are there. I've been to a number of quite highly rated so called Asian restaurants in this area and there is not an Asian face to see for miles. Definitely no Asians behind the counter or in the kitchen. The rice is not sushi rice or even jasmine rice, the teriyaki sauce doesn't taste like teriyaki, and the vegetables have been overcooked to death and then beaten to a bloody pulp for good measure. Every time I try one of those places I say a little prayer about the freshness of the fish before I dig in and take one for the team, and almost every time based on the taste of the food I don't even know if they've ever tasted real Asian before. Unfortunately that's especially true about Sushi. I always wonder what the deal is with those places. Did they work in a joint clearing the tables, washing the dishes, and one day they figured this is not too hard I'll go across the border and open my own place!? Who knows. Based on the reviews they seem successful enough. It's not their fault if they're from Chihuahua and they decided to open a Korean restaurant. These kind of weird business decisions are not unique to Mexico.I had the opposite experience in Beijing where a bunch of Chinese people had opened a Mexican restaurant. I had a bowl of Greek tragedy that they insisted was chips and salsa. I begged to differ; but I still ate it all because it literally cost an arm and a leg and I was outnumbered one a half billion to one. Shuyama; however, is it rare exception. I had the Singapore curry noodle with chicken breast. It was lightly flavored And the curry tasted like realcurry and it was not overpowering, the chicken breast was fresh and the portions were very very generous. The price was ridiculously low. I wish this guy the very best. You should absolutely try this place. You will be pleasantly surprised. This is not a fancy restaurant at all. It's tiny but it packs a punch. Right now I'm going to take my own advice and go back for lunch. I'll try something else besides the Singapore noodles.

    The food I ordered was very flavorful which was the Tallarina with steak. I also ordered the…read morebulgogi but it was not the traditional marinade for bulgogi but it was still good. I guess it was wishful thinking finding this place in Tijuana but I know there are Koreans down here.
