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.

This might honestly be my favorite meal. Even if it's quite a drive from San Diego, it was well worth it in my opinion. The Güd Burger completely lived up to the hype. The double Wagyu patties were juicy and full of flavor, the cheese was perfectly melty, and the sweet chili aioli brought everything together. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ube brioche bun, but it added just a hint of sweetness that somehow made the whole burger even better. Nothing overpowered anything else. It all just worked together. The Kare Kare bowl was generous in the Kare Kare, which I appreciated. The physical bowl felt too small compared to the amount they gave us! I'm glad I was sharing this with someone else because I was already full halfway through the bowl. We had to order the ube churros as well...don't skip this! The dipping sauce it came with was so good. I kept dipping my churro into it too because it was that good. The churro was crunchy without being dry. This whole meal was one of those meals where you don't want it to end. It was my first time here and we waited 45 minutes for our food to be ready because of how busy it was. Some people ordered ahead of time so they skipped the wait altogether. The restaurant itself is quite small but we were lucky enough to snag a seat after rush hour. There are less than 10 tables for eating in. Restaurants like this are worth supporting because you know it's a small business and the food tastes like it's made out of love! Already planning my next visit.

So, a few months ago I wanted to try Tambayan because I'd heard so many good things about the…read moreplace. My friend and I showed up at opening at 11am. They weren't open. We waited about 30 min and they still didn't open. While we waited I tried calling them and it went to voicemail and I couldn't even leave a message because their mailbox was full. Today, I went hoping they'd be open. I arrived around 11:05am and surprisingly they were open. I walked in and looked at their overhead menu on the wall and practically their entire menu had masking taste indicating the item or items were "sold out". This was at opening! Something tells me the "sold out" masking tape had been there for quite a while. I left once again highly disappointed. Maybe down the road I'll give them another shot and revise this 1 star rating. They need to fix their business model ‍

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.

The environment is super cute and friendly. It's a nice cool zone because they do not skimp on the AC. There's a TV with games on for ones viewing pleasure and music playing lightly in the background. System all around here. Investing for customers and ample seating. They have a great selection of the variety of laborers to choose from coffees, smoothies, and they have matcha. This is going to be one of my new favorite spots when I wanna treat myself and I can't wait to try more or anything that they recommend from there!

As soon as I walked in the doors, it was decorated so cute. Very colorful, vibrant, and designed to impress. I also noticed they take pride in keeping their little coffee shop clean. I noticed the menu is extensive and impressive. So, if you are needing a new coffee shop to try, hang out, or simply to replace Starbucks, here they are! 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. I'm extremely disappointed at this $15 dish... not worth it. You can get a cheaper fatty piece of steak from Albertson's. On the positive side, the chicken still taste amazing and so does the fattoush. The lentil soup was good as well.. very flavorful.
