The metal bowl was filled to the brim and tasty. A bit disappointed as they did not have the pork egg rolls, just the vegetarian egg rolls. They have a lot of other things on their menu as well. Service was good, waitress was friendly and had the World Cup on (Uzbek vs Colombia). She was like me, a futbol (soccer fan) like me every 4 years, lol. Plenty of parking, tons of table. Pho La Jolla was legit.

Can't speak much on the service but the staff who took our order was chill. The restaurant is located in a mini plaza right next to dominos and has plenty of seats and is open late.

Pho Nom (3/5) the broth was a bit on the sour side for me. Maybe it was the onions in it but I wasn't expecting that in a pho. All the meat included was excellent. Short rib, meatballs and beef flank. Chili Tamarind chicken wings (3/5) wings reminded me of orange chicken. The white coconut sauce made it better but wasn't hitting it as a good golly moment. Cruller (4/5) was my first time to eat one with soup. Actually was fun to have as an extra condiment for my soup. Loved the small hole in the wall vibe. Roomy for sitting. Price was just about average for Pho spots. Customer service was top tier. Menu was small and simple. The Pho just wasn't a big winner for me.

It's so modular and easy to order from the table through our phone app,, it honestly felt as high-tech as Tony Stark commanding F.R.I.D.A.Y. from his suit tbh. Although this was not our first time eating here, they must have changed the business model, as the last time we went was almost a decade ago. Their menu has changed significantly, and although they were excellent before, I think they are even better. We tried pretty much all of the proteins, from the steak, chicken, pork rib, ribs, and they were all excellent very fresh ingredients. The meats were so perfectly cooked and tender they basically fell apart easier than Thanos's army at the end of Endgame lol. We especially love the side dishes. The broccolini was excellent with the sesame sauce. We loved the brussels sprouts as well. And I really loved the beef and mushroom soup. It had such a comforting and rich flavor that it felt like Scarlet Witch used some chaos magic in the kitchen to get it exactly right. French fries were pretty good, and pretty standard. That was the only dish that was average, but everything else was excellent. Good service and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We even brought our pups! The patio was so spacious and chill it basically felt like relaxing at the Avengers compound after a mission. Parking is super easy. It was such a breeze we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink our car to fit into a spot. Five out of five stars

I ordered the chimichurri steak with Brussels sprouts and macaroni and cheese, and the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The first plate came out with cold sides, so I sent it back. The replacement was still barely lukewarm, and neither plate even had the chimichurri sauce that was supposed to come with the steak. The manager admitted they were having trouble keeping the food warm and offered a refund. Looking back, I wish I had just taken it and left. The meal was completely inedible and a waste of $27. I ended up taking the steak home for my dog and leaving the sides untouched. I went to Mendocino Farms instead, where I finally had an enjoyable lunch. I won't be returning. What a waste of money!!

After my appointment at the Veteran Affairs we passed by here at Mendocino Farm La Jolla…read more Our first time here so we just picked which one looks good and sounds good on the menu board. We picked PERUVIAN STEAK SANDWICH, a seared steak tossed in Spicy aji amarillo sauce, then their CHIMICHURRI STEAK BACON; it's a seared steak and applewood-smoked bacon, and also got their SMOKEY BBQ BRIOCHE SANDWICH , this one is a smoke Pork burnt ends with BBQ sauce. Every sandwich we had tasted good, but i like the most the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon, it's more to my palate, not too sweet or not too spicy. Service was quick our sandwiches were done quickly, plenty of staff go around checking the tables and greeting the customers. Parking is easy, with lots of spaces.

I like the Mendocino Farms concept and we had a good experience at the first one we visited (it was…read morenot this one) so I was disappointed with our long wait for three to-go sandwiches and a cup of soup. I think I was sitting in the store for at least 30 minutes while a family member waited in our car and watched several people park, get their orders and leave. Two people who ordered after us received their food before we did. I finally stood up and only then did an associate crabbily pack up our order and give it to us. When we first arrived, no one even showed up at the counter for at least five minutes. There was another customer waiting behind us as well. My sandwich (Happy Hippie) was not very good...insubstantial and put together in a blah manner. A family member who had the "not so fried chicken sandwich" said it was too salty. I paid $62 for this order (with a tip, which I had added before the long wait...) It obviously wasn't a good value, This is a beautiful and clean store but a general lack of enthusiasm from the associates, inconsistent customer service, high prices, and mediocre quality food will dissuade me from making any future visits to this location.

Our group tired the Tonkotsu Ramen, Miso Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, and the Nagoya Fried Chicken. Out of everything we tried, the fried chicken tasted the best - we could've ordered a few more servings! It is so flavorful and juicy. The ramen were overall just ok - I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the flavor of the broth was too bland for me - I added quite a bit of side sauces to add some more flavor. The meat was also very minimal. Overall it was a decent experience, but I probably would go to other restaurants at this mall first before coming back here.

There was a lot of open sitting, but there is no AC so it's very warm in there, so we decided to eat someone else that was more refreshing. The staff was very friendly and took our order quickly. We orderered pad Thai. One was with chicken and the other one was with fried tofu. I also ordered a Chinese doughnut with condensed milk it came with one tiny tub wish it came with two because it wasn't enough to dip the whole doughnut. The pad Thai needed a little more flavor and the noodles were getting stuck together and it was hard to eat them. It did have a lot of food for the price of about 14 dollars. I was able to make three meals out of it. The presentation of the food was aesthetic, but both my friend and I agree that we wish that the ingredients were mixed together.

Super glossy noodles packed with flavor and I love fried tofu - drunken noodles with seafood (8/10) flavor is also great but noodles weren't as glossy and broke apart more - shrimp in tamarind sauce (10/10) table favorite. We especially loved the fried head but the sauce was delicious. - papaya salad (6/10) not my favorite papaya salad. There was a mix of mango which was interesting and some pieces were very large so didn't absorb sauce well - crying tiger (8/10) nothing special but good Parking is easy because it's next to a grocery store and service was great.

She is incredible, but how overworked she is reflects in how slowly the line moves and how long it takes for you to get your food. Food: 4/5 The food is decent! The crispy pork appetizer is crunchy, and the spicy sauce it comes with is delicious and spicy enough. The pad thai was a little soggy, but it's still very good. Be warned: the level 5 spice is as spicy as eating a healthy dollop of wasabi by itself. Service: 2.5/5 Don't get me wrong, the woman manning the cashier and floor is efficient, amazing, and clearly hardworking--she gets things done. But we waited about 30 minutes in line just to get our order in on a Friday. I would not recommend that you come here during your lunch break unless you order ahead. Ambiance: 2/5 There is not a lot of noise insulation inside the building, so loud conversations echo around the room. Outside, the tables are very grimy. The interior is very nicely decorated, and there are lots of shady areas outside. I would recommend this place to someone who works in the area and can call ahead. This would not be my first pick for Thai food. Final rating: 2.83/5 (rounding up to 3 on Yelp)

I was looking…read morethrough their menu recently and found myself craving an acai bowl on a sunny day, so I decided it was time to come back. One thing I absolutely LOVE about this place is the whole garden café concept. They have two separate counters, one right in front of the parking lot for food orders and another tucked inside the garden for coffee, pastries, and bowls. The Green Power Bowl sounded tempting, but I ended up going with the Pitaya bowl, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. After the first bite, I could immediately tell the fruits were fresh and no syrups were used and the fruit didn't have that frozen texture that some places use. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. For $12.50, I also thought the portion was surprisingly generous, especially considering the fresh ingredients. The couple taking orders and serving customers were incredibly friendly to me and others, and the whole place had that welcoming, local neighborhood feel that's becoming harder to find these days. I found the garden beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating whether you want to sit in the sun or find a shady spot to relax. I'm already looking forward to coming back.
