Of course, portions are for sharing, and so if you're ordering for one, you will have leftovers. Lol! I couldn't just have one thing.

I only ordered combination fried rice and popcorn chicken and was told the popcorn chicken takes a while. What's the point of calling in a phone order if it's going to take 40 minutes? The restaurant wasn't even busy and granted they had a lot of phone orders. Everyone who came in to pick up their food was told "5 more minutes" which was an absolute lie. Despite that, the food was good but the popcorn chicken was not worth waiting 40 minutes!

I'm awfully surprised with all good reviews of this place. I honestly thought it was quite…read moreterrible. The spicy pork wontons were not at all spicy and it tasted like there was peanut sauce in it. The meat inside was also a bit odd and it had a funny taste to it. Even the potstickers weren't good and had juice in them that completely burned the roof of my mouth when I bit into it. Worst of the worst, the white rice wasn't even good. It tasted old. It was dry and mushy at the same time. Every time I come across a set of plastic chopsticks I wipe them with the napkin to rid of any excess dirt and to my surprise, the napkin had black residue left on it after I did. I don't think it was dirt, I think it was the chopstick rubbing off. Don't think I'll ever return.

I came here today and was told there's been another change most recently 2 months ago. This by far his has been the most pleasant visit. The food was fresh and the dumpling wrapper was thin. The soup dumplings were filled with soup and the pot stickers were pan fried to perfection. They've also added more dish options to the menu as well. They've updated their indoor decor and it's nice and clean. Highly recommend this place and will be back very soon!

Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

What a disappointment. I had high expectations due to the Michelin bib Gourmand award, but the…read moreflavors fell extremely short. The restaurant was fairly empty although Resy wouldn't take reservations. Plenty of bar seating. The service was fair, not particularly warm or engaging, which was fine. The food was alluring and beautiful, but the flavors were salty, flat, and mushy. Starting with the Paloma, it was nothing special. Just something you could get with a well happy hour special. Serviceable but unremarkable. Very Instagrammable, however. The pork belly was nicely charred and had nice bite sized morsels on the skewer, good texture, but the sauce was very salty, almost bitter. Forced myself to eat the 2nd skewer, but could not push through the last 2. In contradistinction, the beef rendang was almost bland, like a microwaveable peanut butter Hormel beef stew, and the cardinal sin - the rice underneath was mushy. That was what sealed the nail on the coffin. Bland, albeit tender short rib, on top of smushy rice. Dead. I barely ate one of the 2 pieces of ribs and couldn't do more. The staff wanted to see if I wanted a take out container. When you see a customer that disengaged with the food, you'd better be wary. Being Asian, I don't like to waste food, but when it's so not good, I'd rather walk away and get something else than to finish a terrible meal. Many diners have a millennia of choices in this price point. Sadly, not sure how this restaurant got recognition because it's half as delicious as your typical neighborhood Thai restaurant. Banana Leaf at the Original farmers market in LA is better, though humble and homely. Just very disappointing. Hope it was an off night and that others have a better experience.

I'm glad the Vista location immediately made me a Harumama Fan. A special thanks to my waiter who answered my questions and checked up on me a few times. The service was stellar...my food came out pretty fast. I loooved how the Cow Buns were sooo cuuute and nicely decorated to eat. They were delicately delicious pairing well with my Yakisoba Noodles which had the right amount of vegetables. Overall, it was a fun flavorful time for the first try. I can't wait to try more dishes. Highly recommended to the Yelp Community!

Hadn't been to this location so decided to try it out. Got…read morethe Flying Pig ramen & was pleasantly surprised! The broth is very rich & flavorful compared to other north county spots. The roasted sprouts in the ramen were a first for me; however they work really well. They complement the subtle spice of the broth with an earthy, slightly sweet nutty flavor. My two downsides to the ramen are: 1. It doesn't include the typical ramen egg (it's an additional $2) and 2. the chashu portion is ridiculous--they give 2 measly pieces that are like 1/6" thick. While it's good I'd only return if I was too lazy to make the drive to convoy (which is why I went in the first place).

Yelp! review #15 of 2026 Visit on 16 March…read more Dropped in around 7pm with a party of 9, including several meat eaters and one vegan friend. The place wasn't too busy but had decent reviews, so we decided to give it a try (for the win!). They were able to accommodate our large group with seating, which was really appreciated. Once we sat down and placed our orders, things initially seemed fine. But then the service slipped. When I asked for water, they only brought out three cups, just for the kids. We had to ask multiple times before my wife and I finally got ours. Most of the food arrived, but my eldest daughter's meal was completely missing. After we inquired, it took another 15 minutes for it to come out. It really felt like they had forgotten half our order. The fried rice and broth arrived even later. On the positive side, the food tasted fresh and was genuinely good overall. What really stood out negatively, though, was the staff's response every time we said "thank you." Instead of "you're welcome" or "no problem," it was always just "Yep!" It came across as dismissive and disrespectful. While the food was solid, the service and basic human interaction need real improvement. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll probably look for other options.

If you're in the shopping center and need a quick salt fix, Ten Gu Ramen is fine--but if you're a…read moretrue ramen enthusiast in North County, you already know there are better bowls within a 5-mile radius. It's "mall ramen" at premium prices. The value is the biggest sticking point. Charging nearly $19 for a basic bowl--and then tacking on almost $4 for an egg--feels steep when you compare it to the local competition. At Wu Lan, you're getting a more complex bowl (like the Mega Pig) for a better price point. It's the place you go when you don't want to deal with the crowds in Carlsbad Village or when you're already doing errands on Vista Way. It's clean and the service is fast, but the food itself is unmemorable.

Wow, my last review of Pho House was about seven years ago, but between then and now I've probably…read morevisited a few more times. Lately, I've been searching for a new go-to pho spot, and this place is definitely climbing back up my list. The staff was professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The dining room, bathrooms, tables, and sauce stations were all well maintained. I also appreciated the hand sanitizer available at every table small detail, but a nice touch. I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.
