    雜果西米露 Mixed Fruit Delight mango mochi coconut mango roll
    Catherine Z.

    LOVE this place! First time checking out this location (I grew up visiting the one in Rowland heights). This place had a decent amount of dessert options left on a Friday evening. We LOVED the fresh mango mochi, which had a huge mango piece in it, yummy custard wrapped in mochi. We loved yikoyiko but this place clearly beats yikoyiko in our view. The mixed fruit dessert was also deliciously creamy and refreshing

    I usually like Phoenix Dessert, and this San Diego location was amazing. I love their black sticky rice with young coconut it's so fragrant, soft, and perfectly sweet , $5.95 was very affordable . The black sesame dessert was a bit firmer than I prefer, but still was delicious. This is such a cool spot with so many food and dessert options. They have durian, mango, passionfruit, taro , lots of fun ingredients, and it's honestly enjoyable just browsing through everything. There are a few small tables inside and outside if you want to sit and enjoy your treats, but it's also a great place to grab something to go. Customer service here is friendly and attentive . Parking was easy to find, so getting in and out was no hassle at all.

    Phoenix doesn't just sell desserts, they also have hot foods, cold dish, street food, tea and drinks. Their desserts are in the display window, some milk teas are bottled, some are made on the spot. We ordered: Fresh durian delight drink Braised pork belly Durian rolls Custard platter Bottled milk tea Bottled soy milk No complaints on the food or desserts. Hot foods remind me of home cooking. The durian rolls had actual durian seeds coated with the mochi sheet on the outside. The soy milk was too sweet for me. They change their hours every season so be sure to check before you go.

    Mango Lovers Dessert
    Mai H.

    Stopped by after dinner to satisfy my sweet tooth and decided to try their Mango Lovers Dessert. It was good- light, refreshing, and packed with mango flavor. The portion is definitely shareable, it would've been way too much for me to finish on my own. I've had their durian rolls a few times prior, but was in the mood for something more refreshing and the mango lovers delivered. I did have an uncomfortable moment before going in- there was some inappropriate activity happening outside the shop, which made me feel a bit sketchy and unsure at first. When we went inside, the place was completely empty. But not long after, people started trickling in. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by if you're craving something fruity and refreshing. I may come back to try some of their other desserts next time.. like the Durian Lovers Dessert.

    Upon walking in we were immediately greeted kindly by the workers. Near the entrance, there is the fridge displaying all the tasty looking desserts they have. We got a few to try, but thought they were a bit lacking in flavor. * Mixed Durian Rolls - 8.6/10 (i love durian & i was excited to see that there was a durian dessert. i like how the durian is enclosed with mochi on the outside. however, the durian was not as sweet & fresh as i was expecting. i wish there was a custard/cream inside to add some sweetness to the mochi) * Fresh Mango Pudding - 7/10 (nothing special, just a mango pudding with mango chunks inside. although i wish it had more of a creamy consistency, than a grainy one) * Green Tea & Red Bean Custard - 5/10 (i don't really taste much of green tea. it's pretty much jello with chunks of red bean inside) * Black Sticky Rice & Red Bean Custard - 6/10 (this one was sweeter than the green tea one which i liked. however, i still can't put my finger on the flavor. it's also just a jello with red bean inside. i don't think i am a fan of these custard desserts)

    Durian Mochi
    Joyce Z.

    Normally I stop by Extraordinary Desserts when I'm down in San Diego but needing to cut down on sugar, I had to choose my treat for the most recent trip. Since it's currently only available in So Cal, my wanting to try Phoenix's durian mochi rolls for almost 2 years now, won out especially since they have opened up a San Diego location. I was so excited to discover I could get it in SD that I immediately hopped out of the pool, showered, and hightailed it over there to be Customer #1 that day. Definitely a winner that I literally went back for another pack to share. Having it filled with Musang Durian means I can have two right?

    There are more Phoenix Desserts in the LA areas that I've been to before. Very happy to find this one in San Diego. It's a small shop with limited items and a few small tables inside. I always like their mochi and their custard with different flavors. They're all delicious especially if you have a sweet tooth. There are a few HK street food and a few cold dishes available. The cold tofu platter, the chicken wings, and samosa are all good. The curry fish ball is a bit disappointing and wish they use the white fish balls that are not fried. Be aware they only get shipments from LA on certain days, so they can run out of certain popular desserts. It would be nice if they open more locations.

    We ordered through Uber Eats! The delivery and service were fast! The quality of the desserts were very sumptuous! Not too sweet for me, which is good I like the presentation of how everything looks, and that the desserts were very easy to divide amongst the three of us. 10/10 recommend!

    Durian rolls, Thai mango sticky rice, Mango mochi
    Julie H.

    Finally got to stop in and try a few of their desserts. I bought durian rolls and the mango mochi. My sister got the Thai mango sticky rice. My daughter gobbled down 2 mango mochis real quick. She's already talking about how we need to go back more next time. If you can stand the smell of durian and love to eat it then you will also enjoy the durian rolls. My sister said the mango sticky rice is also good but would be better with a little more coconut cream on top. Perfect sweetness level for all 3. Will come back to try other desserts, drinks and Chinese entrees/street foods next time.

    Mango Pomelo Drink
    George P.

    I've been here a few times now and the service is always so wonderful. Cool little spot with seating inside and an array of desserts to choose from. Lately been on a mango pomelo sago search, so tried theirs and it was so amazing. Coconut based, delicious flavors and lots of fruit in the drink. One of my favorites of the summer. Thanks so much!

    Durian roll (top) and assorted mochi (bottom)
    Jasmine C.

    I've had Phoenix in OC. Glad they have a location in sd. They are known for their durian and mango rolls. The outside is mochi. It's chewy and the filling inside is a good amount of durian. The dessert is light and not too sweet. Also tried the assorted mochi. Filled with mango, red bean, taro and sesame. I didn't like it as much. It wasn't chewy. They have a lot of other desserts and drinks too.

    Mango pomelo delight
    Dung N.

    I've had these desserts before in Orange County, so it's nice to have one in SD now. They are known for their durian desserts, but I like their mango rolls better. To be honest, I think durian stinks LOL. I also tried their mango pomelo delight, but it was too sweet for me. I'll stick to their desserts instead!

    Durian mochi roll, Mango roll, Silken tofu with Ginger Syrup
    Cynthia P.

    I was so excited to hear that there was a phoenix dessert in San Diego! We got the durian mochi rolls, mango rolls, and silken tofu with ginger syrup! It was delicious! The durian mochi is just as good as I remembered it to be! Mango as well! Definitely try this place out if you haven't yet!

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.

What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. It felt like talking with a wine sommelier--someone who truly understood flavor and wanted us to find the perfect match. You could tell he genuinely loved his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable.
