    Jian Bing with Chinese Donut

    Great weekend breakfast selections! Reminder that the breakfast ends at 11.30 AM, so make sure to arrive at the restaurant before then. Store was not too crowded and comfortable to sit in, and the server was pretty quick with the order-taking and bringing the foods out. Jian Bing (savoury pancake) with Chinese Donut is amazing! The crunchiness of the Chinese Donut mixes well with the softness of the pancake. Fish wonton soup has a variety of tastes. The soup reminds me of Korean seaweed soup, while the fish wonton tastes like mini bites of fish sticks (in a good way). Steam shrimp roll has similar consistency to Har Gow (Shrimp dumpling in Cantonese dim sum). Will order again if there is a craving.

    Fried cruller crispy donut for dunking into my hot soy milk
    Lorean W.

    This is for Sat/ Sun breakfast items til 11am. Cruller donut was perfectly crispy and not oily. Sticky rice was very good and wrapped in lotus leaf. Beef roll was good; but different than the Taiwanese version. Service was good and the lady was nice. Ambience is clean and moderate sized place. Nice that there was no wait.

    Worst Milk Tea I've ever had. Very sour and comes w/ crystal boba. Terrible pairing!
    Cat L.

    The Popcorn Chicken and Boba Milk Tea (they use crystal boba here) are AWFUL. Some of the worst I've had anywhere. Chicken itself is rubbery and the flat battered coating doesn't have the signature crispy bubbles of authentic Taiwanese chicken. The Boba Milk Tea is definitely one of my worst, if not The Worst, milk tea experiences to date due to the sour taste and the crystal (not tapioca) boba with which it is paired. Disgusting combo! By comparison, the Passion Fruit Green Tea is a familiar syrup-based staple you find at most boba shops but delightfully refreshing. The Chicken and Corn Dumplings weren't bad, either. Overall, this one is a skip for me.

    Went to this location since the one near our place closed. Was so incredibly disappointed by this location. First - The popcorn chicken was SOFT. Second - the popcorn chicken was in a different container and NOT full. For the price we paid, it's ridiculous.. The other location used to have the popcorn chicken in the same container and vent it so the chicken wouldn't get soft. Seems like common sense to me that you'd do that but I guess i was wrong. It's really annoying to pick up food that is soggy and soft and has condensation all over it (and it wasn't even topped off to the top). Unfortunately, not returning to this location.

    I don't know how to describe these Chinese food islands that exist in San diego except to say that I get why people write highly because they are so far away from other Chinese food restaurants. The best I could describe this place as is amazing service and great ambience and look, the food served was not as great as I expected it to be.. The shrimp Shumai tasted exactly like the frozen ones from ranch 99 The dumplings we got pork and chive were a bit too salty, and there was too much tendon in the meat. I will say that the potstickers skin was done very well and chewy. The best of our meal was probably the chow mein because the chicken was tender, and the flavor was spot on, so overall Joyee gets stars for the look the service and the noodles. Oh also the portions were quite big.

    Popcorn chicken
    Jerry X.

    We first ordered takeout from here and quite enjoyed it and decided to come in and try their dumplings. The Chinese food we ordered to go was mapo tofu, cumin lamb, and the beef wrap. We enjoyed all three of them to give them a shot in person and try their dumplings fresh. The food we tried today was xiaolongbao, pork and chive dumplings, popcorn chicken, and tofu and seafood pot. Both dumplings were mediocre to be honest. The xiaolongbao was honestly a disappointment because half of them had no soup. The pork and chive dumplings were better but nothing too crazy to write home about or rave about. The popcorn chicken was also not very crispy but it was a good serving size. The best dish was the seafood and tofu pot. It had good flavor and was also generous serving size. The more traditional Chinese food on the menu is good aside from the dumplings and I probably wouldn't get the popcorn chicken again. Parking is easy because it's in a big parking lot. The service was good, they refilled water numerous times without needing to be asked. It's a small restaurant inside so it can get busy during the dinner rush.

    Stewed pork belly with tofu
    Elizabeth M.

    The waitress was pretty attentive. This restaurant is a very casual dining place. We ordered the pan fried pork buns and the stewed pork belly with tofu. The pan-fried pork buns, unfortunately, were a bit off. Instead of having a juicy sauce inside, the juice from the pork was more like a thick gravy. That's not the way it should be; the buns are supposed to be filled with a savory, juicy sauce that bursts out when you bite into them. The stewed pork belly with tofu was just alright. The dish was somewhat one-dimensional in flavor. It should have had a bit more sweetness and vinegar in the sauce to balance the flavors and add depth, but it fell short of that expectation.

    salt and pepper pork ribs
    Sena Y.

    Stopped in for lunch and it was the best choice!! The service was incredibly warm and friendly and the food came quickly and was delicious! My favorite was the salt and pepper pork ribs which were crispy and tender on the inside. Ample seating and lots of natural light that makes the interior feel bright and airy. Can't wait to be back soon!

    Beef belly hot pot $18.99
    Cari A.

    Ordered food via Grubhub. Pros: -their portion size is incredibly generous compared to other businesses. -price is very reasonable for what you get -I absolutely loved their beef belly hot pot. It was full of delicious, tender beef and chilies. This is something I would definitely order again. Cons: -none Overall, if you're looking for a great deal, this place is wonderful. I will definitely be reordering their hot pot in the near future!

    Salty soymilk (I didn't like the Shanghainese version) and Jian bing (Shanghainese version is just not as good as the taiwaneee version.)
    Rebecca Y.

    This is NOT a Taiwanese place! It's northern Chinese. Just fyi - I came here expecting Taiwanese breakfast and it was not Taiwanese, more Shanghainese. So don't order traditional Taiwanese items as you'll be disappointed like me. stick with the dumplings or noodle dishes.

    Which items are vegetarian? I see a vegetable section, but no confirmation on whether those are made vegetarian (i.e. no fish sauce or similar).

    The vegetables section did not have any meat in the dishes from what we ordered. For example it says broccoli with garlic and has no meat whereas there is a broccoli with chicken in the chicken section and broccoli with beef in the beef section.

    Do they have high chairs or booster seats for toddlers/young children?

    yes

    Any vegan options?

    Yes

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I've been coming here since they opened but haven't been here in awhile,…read morebut sure have missed it. Came here during HH with my daughter... which is the best time to come, but come early as it does get PACKED! You order right when you walk up to the register and then find a table. HH is 3-6pm DAILY!! Their HH menu is the best deal and so very tasty! My HH favorites...The poke nachos, chowder fries and shishito peppers! My daughter really liked the lemon pepper wings (on the HH menu too). Not on the HH menu but two of my other favorites are the (garlicky) brussel sprouts and the spicy poke and crispy rice! HH - Craft beers are $5... can't beat that! This place is great addition to Scripps!! The owners are super friendly as well as the staff!

    They have a great happy hour with great prices and good food! We went on a weeknight around 5:30pm,…read moreand it was pretty packed with a short wait to order at the register. We ordered the fish tacos, poke nachos, chowder fries, and clams with chorizo. Our favorites were the fish taco and poke nachos. The chowder fries were good, but the chowder seemed a bit too salty (same with the chorizo and tomato sauce). The portions were larger than I expected for happy hour which was nice. The service was also fast and friendly despite it being busy. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

    AMAZING SERVICE!…read more Hubby and I spent our 1 year anniversary dinner at Nick's. The menu is limited but for good reasons. The drinks and food is amazing and meets beyond expectations. Our waitress, Kassidy, did an amazing job greeting us and telling us the highlights of the menu. She even went the extra mile to tell me I had a shopping tab attached to my shirt and she was very discreet in telling me and removing it. Thank you Kassidy! I got the bistro plate. The meat was very well seasoned to my liking. The salad was delicious and never had one like theirs. The tomato soup was flavorful. I thought I would be hungry afterwards but it really filled me up. They also ended the night with giving us a chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you for making this an amazing experience for us!

    NICK'S @ DEL MAR…read more Parking is available in the free garage that's located right next to Nick's, making it super convenient. There are usually plenty of parking spots, so it's easy to get in and out. This Nick's is located in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, so there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby if you want to walk around before or after your meal. I've also been to the Nick's in Carlsbad, and I personally think that location is a little nicer because I love their outdoor seating area. That said, the Del Mar location also offers both indoor and outdoor seating, so you still have options. The service was pretty good. It was definitely busy when I visited, so the staff seemed a little rushed at times, but everyone was still very friendly and attentive. The food is always consistently good. I highly recommend starting with the Thai-style lettuce wraps as an appetizer, they're one of my favorites. For my entrée, I ordered the cheeseburger, which never disappoints. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. I also really like the ambiance here. It has a cozy, darker atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a dinner date or a night out with friends. The prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this location out if you're in the Del Mar area.

Staff were exceptionally warm and friendly, making us feel like regulars. Being a nigiri guy, I'm particular about my sushi, but theirs was solid. The fish was fresh, cut to perfection, and tasted incredible. My wife ordered a few of their specialty rolls. I'm normally not a roll guy, but I ended up stealing bites because they just hit. I believe he was the head chef, but Anthony, was super cool, personable, and talented. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft, and it really shows on the plate. If you are looking for a solid sushi joint, a great neighborhood vibe, and stellar hospitality, you have to check this place out!

    We ordered takeout, and the food was packaged well!…read more We ordered the: -Sashimi champloo ($31.95): This had twelve pieces of prime cuts of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and chef's choice. Every piece was delicious! -Chirashi bowl ($30.95): I really enjoyed the sushi rice in this bowl since not every restaurant does quality sushi rice. The sashimi was pretty good, but quality wise the sashimi champloo was definitely superior. -Salmon mango roll ($9.50): This had spicy salmon, mango, and ume furikake. This was quite tasty, and definitely had a kick to it. -Maru Maru roll ($9.50): This had imitation crab meat, shrimp tempura, and avocado. A basic roll but still good. -Chicken katsu curry don ($16.95): This was disappointing because the portion was quite small for the price. I do like how the curry was packaged separately. All in all, Hakumaru has quality sashimi and rolls, but could work on portion size for chicken katsu curry don.
