    I'll just have a little bit. We got off work early on a Saturday and decided to get something light. Pho is light and really tasty. Well here the pho was tasty but not really light. I ordered the seafood pho. Plenty of fresh herbs to go with the large pieces of shrimp and a dozen fish balls. This went well with half a gallon of broth. There was so much that you can feed a family of four and still have left overs. Ok many not that many but it's a lot of food. Fresh veggies and plenty of herb made the aroma pleasant as the broth enters your mouth. Overall four stars. Food was good and the price reasonable. Could use an upgrade in the decor but really you're there to eat not to look. I got stuffed.

    Thank you to all the family who made this food happen for me and my lady! Wonderful ambiance filled with cultural art and the service is great! Very homely place and the food is made with care thank you so much family!

    Shrimp spring rolls

    How does this place even have 3.5 stars? I walked in and it was a mess. Didn't smell that great either. The guy at the counter was very nice though. My spring rolls were not great but I ate them because I paid for them. The wrap was gooey and the veggies inside were not fresh. The peanut sauce consistency was not good. It looked like someone put water and peanuts in a blender. I will not be back.

    This was a small Vietnamese restaurant in the Midway Plaza of the Point Loma neighborhood. I stopped here after running some nearby errands knowing they were not going to be busy. Parking spaces in the plaza were plentiful during my late evening visit. Only one customer was seated among the tables that could hold around 40 people. The menu didn't seem as extensive as other pho spots, but it was a mom-and-pop operation. Appetizers, banh mi sandwiches (only four varieties), pho, rice dishes, vermicelli noodles, beverages, and desserts made up the categories. My choice was the vermicelli with grilled beef (bún bò nướng). The bowl of rice noodles contained shredded lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mint herbs, pickled carrots and daikon, and roasted peanuts. A cup of vinaigrette fish sauce (nước mắm) was provided on the side. Upon first glance, all of the green veggies were buried on the bottom of the vessel. Only the peanuts and pickled carrots and daikon were visible on top with the beef and noodles. The flavors didn't stand out while the portion for the price was a bit undersized. I didn't leave Pho Little Saigon still feeling hungry, however I think there are better choices for this style of cuisine within a couple of miles of this place.

    Shirmp spring rolls, egg rolls and Bun Pork, shrimp, and egg rolls to-go! Delicious

    Called in my order and it was easy. Ordered my favorite egg rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and combo Bun pork, shrimp and egg rolls to-go! Can't wait to eat this. Also, the boxes on the side is for to-go orders incase people are wondering and judging. They're a little "hole in the wall" but the best/authentic places are not perfect aesthetically but the food is sooo good you wouldn't care! It's quiet and there's parking but sometimes is taken over by the gym people so I park on the street to pick up my food.

    Another Pho shop nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we ended up checking out Pho Little Saigon. This mom and pop shop is tucked away in a small shopping plaza on Midway Drive and can be hard to miss. The restaurant is tiny with less than 10 tables. As you make your way to the bathroom you'll get to pass by the kitchen and what seems like prep/storage. It might look like a mess but growing up Vietnamese. This is how exactly my house would look like. I was craving Bo Luc Luc (shaken beef) and glad to say this did not disappoint. Their fried rice was exactly how I like it, with just scrambled egg and green onion. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and garnished with fresh herbs. The portion was just right and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. My boyfriend got the banh mi and he said it wasn't the best he had but still pretty good. The service was fast and friendly as we ordered, ate, and paid for our food all within 30 minutes. I'm glad we took this detour and tried a new Vietnamese spot here in Point Loma. I definitely want to come back for their Pho.

    the interior of a restaurant

    This is a small restaurant that's run by a husband and wife. The husband was super nice and service was really quick. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, a large special and a small rare steak, tendon, and tripe. The pho broth lacked the beef bone flavor and the rare steak was not even rare. I would give it 2 stars at most. I had to use the restroom before we left and found it unsanitary that I had to walk past the kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. There was food being prepped on either side of me, exposed. They should have some sort of dividing partition. If I used the restroom before eating, I would have probably opted to go elsewhere. I really wanted to award 3 stars because the owner was extremely nice, but his wife's pho was pretty bad and the kitchen was unsanitary.

    Amazing food and staff was so sweet. I would highly recommend eating here. Food came out hot and fresh and pricing was very reasonable!

    Chicken vermicelli bowl
    Samantha W.

    My husbands chicken vermicelli bowl was not good. The chicken was so dry and hard. I tried eating a piece and it was hard to bite through...it was that over cooked. My steak pho wasn't the worst. But the broth was pretty oily which I didn't like. My noodles were also slightly over cooked and kind of mushy. While sitting in the restaurant we noticed this place appeared to be needing a good overall deep clean. The curtains hanging by the entrance door have very visible stains on them. The hand sanitizer bottles on the table looked dirty like as if people had sauce on their hands and used it many times over a long period of time and the sauce and grime built up and dried on the bottle. There was also some noisy banging/scraping sound nearly the entire time we dined there. It sounded like maybe someone was trying to use force to scrape a metal hood fan or something? The only time the banging/scraping sound wasn't happening was when the person working was out in the dining area taking orders, serving food, ringing up customers.

    1.50 extra
    Jacqueline F.

    Pho was delicious! We didn't have to add a thing broth was on point...vermicelli wasn't that good I didn't enjoy the egg rolls. I wish they wouldn't if charged 1.50 for veggies but it's ok wont order this next time.

The ambience is posh and decadent, perfect for a fancy date night, but each time we came with friends, so we can try as many of the delicious dishes as possible. Definitely recommend family style. The service was impeccable and attentive. I never felt like we needed to flag someone down. They just magically showed up at the perfect time. Someone even brought out a little stool for my purse, which I've never seen outside of the best Michelin starred restaurants. The drinks were well-balanced and inventive, and perfectly matched the food. Apologies for the poor photos of the dishes - I was tipsy ;) The menu is mostly Filipino fusion, with some additional Asian fusion (ie Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean). If you expect traditional flavors and textures, you might be disappointed. Come with an open mind and your taste buds will thank you. The finesse and effort was evident in even the most humble sounding dish. The roasted cabbage was the dish that came to mind. It was at once soft in the center and crispy on the edges, with a flavor punch from the brown butter miso. The cucumber appetizer was such a hit, that we ordered it a second time. The kare kare short rib was fall off the bone tender. As far as creativity, I have never heard of tteokbokki with perilla pesto, but it absolutely works. It was probably my favorite dish of the night, even if it didn't quite match the rest of the dishes we ordered. Some dishes will still hit that nostalgia factor. For me, those dishes were the Wagyu fried rice and the Taiwanese chicken. Were they the best dishes ever? Probably not, but they were tasty and felt like a warm hug. Sometimes cooking with soup is just as important as all the fancy tricks. This time we did not order any of the mouth-watering steaks, because we wanted to try so many of the dishes on the menu. However, the last time I did have steak, and it was divine. They've done the A5 wagyu justice, and it is well worth the money. In short, I highly recommend checking out Animae. I know I for sure will be back!

It was really busy, so everything took quite a while, and our appetizers didn't come out until after our main food had already been served. Not the end of the world, just a little odd. The cocktails also left a bit to be desired since they were much stronger than they were balanced. Overall though, the quality of the food made up for it. I'd definitely come back for the sushi.

Music wasn't too loud and could be a cool spot for sunset in the evening.

I don't know if this was because my order was a to go order but I felt that this took longer than it should have. Tried to pork katsu sandwich, tiger roll and dragons breath roll. This restaurant gets a nod for the creativity of the items and flavors selected across the board. The sandwich was the standout of this group despite the sour dough bread getting soggy midway through. Not the best place for sushi at this price point but it wasn't bad either. I would try other spots before returning again.

This place exceeded every one of them. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, Wolf in the Woods feels like a hidden European café you'd stumble upon while traveling. Sitting outside beneath the umbrellas with a cocktail, watching the neighborhood stroll by. It felt like a little corner cafe in Paris. Then the food arrived. Every plate was beautifully presented, but the real magic was in the creativity of the flavors. The combinations were unexpected, yet every one worked. Every dish had me wondering how on earth someone came up with these pairings in the first place. The Sweet Corn & Piñon Soup deserves a standing ovation. We literally stopped talking after the first spoonful. Rich, savory, slightly sweet, comforting and completely unexpected all at the same time. Both of our eyes rolled back in our heads. The Beef Tataki completely surprised me. The outside had a delicate seared crust, the inside cut like butter, and the citrus pairing made me rethink what flavors belong together. And the mushroom and polenta dish? The mushrooms had an incredible texture--like savory little pieces of mushroom jerky. I would have happily bought a pound of them just to snack on. Every dish felt like it was taking me somewhere I'd never been before, yet somehow felt familiar at the same time. Wolf in the Woods creates an unforgettable experience.

And this review is after that experience, so we can compare and contrast things like pricing and quality. When you come here you must bring a loaded wallet. To try a sour beer or any of their Russian River beers, (which was a surprise to us that there even was beer coming out of Russian River, a place I love for wine) .... is $19 for a bottle. And if you've never tried a sour beer and no one likes it, there are no returns. You pay your money and you take your chances. They are creative at The Joint. I mean an eel roll with macadamia nuts is a brilliant twist on sushi. The second thing we try is their soft shell crab roll. Delicious. Everyone at the table 'seconds' these comments. I ask someone on the way in, seated at a table eating sushi if it is good. He says: "I'll let you know". Later, he comes back to our table to let me yes! It's really good". So is this a good place to go for Sushi? The answer is yes. Is it a little confusing as an asian fusion place to have so many diverse choices? The answer is yes, but I also admit I do like all the options. Again, they call their Happy Hour food 'Tapas'. Is that Spanish, or is it just me? Japanese fried chicken or an arugula salad or oysters? lol Your taste buds must travel all over the place and that's hard on the palate and my headspace of 'what am I eating'? Is it overpriced? The answer is yes! And if I'm being honest, it surprises me that no one else on yelp is mentioning this. If money is not an issue and you want good sushi, our group recommends trying The Joint. Just don't count on happy hour having happy prices. $4 for an oyster is not happy! It's regular priced. Maybe even over priced for a happy hour menu where oysters come in at $1 and $2 for happy hour. And today, they are all out of oysters. lol We usually just tell you what to order when you go to a restaurant. This is the first time we have felt the need to let you know what you're in for, price wise. Sorry to the wonderful staff and great chef. No idea why they need to represent themselves as 'happy hour noon - 6pm every day', leading me to believe there is good pricing. But it's not my zoo, not my monkeys.
