    I'm so glad to have found a place with so many Vegan options. My go to place when I want a good Acai bowl. It's very clean and love that they have good parking and lots of seating. Best part about it is their customer service, they speak English A+

    Lady Dragon - Pho

    My family was craving for Pho during our vacation and did not expect to have such authentic Bun and…read morespring rolls in TJ, their menu make it easy for us to order (non-Spanish speaking). We ordered pho ga (chicken pho), the chicken were so tender, flavorful and juice, and the broth is yummy; shrimp spring rolls and nemnong spring rolls were the spotlights of the meal with their signature peanut sauce (Must try). The server Mariana was very friendly and attentive, the owner even served us complimentary basil seeds lemonade (very refreshing after a hot day from the beach). We will definitely visit again before returning home.

    Working in Tijuana for two months really makes you miss your grandma's home cooking. I was really…read morecraving some pho or something close to Vietnamese food without crossing the border into San Diego, so I searched through Yelp to find Lady Dragon. I was a bit skeptical at first but after seeing the pictures on Yelp, I just had to give it a try to fill my cravings. I took a 15-minute walk from my apartment to find the restaurant hidden in the side of CaliMax. Upon entry, I was greeted by two women who directed me to go upstairs to be seated. The waitress came with our menus and noticed that it was pretty short for a Vietnamese restaurant; it only had some pho dishes, banh mi, spring rolls and egg rolls. I ordered a bowl of pho with brisket and bo vien meatballs, nem nuong spring rolls, and a cafe sua da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee). Whenever I get a bowl of pho, I have to take in the smells of the meat and spices and taste the broth without any additional sauces or herbs first . Upon tasting the broth, it was a 5 or 6/10 immediately. It was quite bland but you can easily taste the spices. But this rating quickly went up to a 8/10 when I ate some of the bo vien and noodles. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the meat was high quality; the meat tasted similar to what you would find at Garden Grove's famous "Pho 79". The nem nuong was really good for being in Tijuana and the coffee was the perfect bitterness and sweetness. As I was paying, I spoke to the cashier and asked him about the history of the restaurant. He gladly answered each one of my questions. I was happy to hear that they recently opened only six months ago to a Vietnamese woman named Phuong. And that their ingredients and recipes are authentic and high quality because they come from stores in the U.S. This little restaurant is still new and needs a lot of love. I would recommend anyone in Tijuana who wants some authentic pho, spring rolls, or coffee to come and give it a try. I know I will be coming back several more times before I leave!

    First off I went based on all the videos on instagram great videos. Place is not how it looks on…read morevideos! Food was ok but not for the price and service ketchup was bad and spoiled my wife's plate was warm my plate came cold told them all they did was pour more warm hot sauce on top of my chilaquiles red sauce was good. Lots of miscommunication even though we were speaking fluent Spanish. Here is a picture of our Brunch recipe. I was also charged for them to sign HBD for my wife when they asked we can choose from a pastry from the house which was a flan de elote . Price is out of range for service and experience! No Courtesy For Anything and food being cold and ketchup being bad drinks were also not as cold except my cold coke with ice. En primer lugar, me basé en todos los vídeos de Instagram, grandes vídeos. ¡El lugar no es como se ve en los vídeos! La comida estaba bien, pero no por el precio y el servicio, el ketchup estaba malo y estropeado, el plato de mi esposa estaba caliente, mi plato vino frío, les dije que todo lo que hicieron fue verter más salsa picante caliente encima de mis chilaquiles, la salsa roja estaba buena. Mucha falta de comunicación a pesar de que hablábamos español con fluidez. Aquí hay una foto de nuestra receta de brunch. También me cobraron para que firmaran HBD para mi esposa cuando pidieron que pudiéramos elegir entre un pastel de la casa que era un flan de elote . ¡El precio está fuera de rango para el servicio y la experiencia!

    From entry, we were greeted by every staff member with a smile. It was Saturday morning so it was…read morebusy but we got in pretty quickly. We came in sweats and sweatshirt but it's a little more upscale than your average breakfast/brunch place. Our server was attentive and practiced his English with us. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, clean, zen... the food was delicious! The servings are pretty big so come hungry! They offer pan Dulce or a pastry if you order coffee. Which we did. I had the enfrijoladas, my neice had the omelette Azteca. I ordered café de olla but our server suggested the pumpkin spice latte which is my fav and was absolutely delicious! We had to take our food to go bc it was so much yumminess to leave behind.
