The restaurant itself has a very soft ambiance and I was greeted warmly by Laht and was attended by her and the staff throughout the meal. I ordered the Kao Pad Boran (fried rice dish, spicy), Tom Yum Crunch wings, and Lemongrass Sausage. The wings came out fresh, crunchy, and hot. So fresh and crunchy, in fact, that the steam didn't come out the wings until I took a bite. The wings were so good that I forgot they came with sauces (green, sweet & sour, spicy) whch added another depth of flavor. The sausage and rice was really flavorful and the spice wasn't overbearing. Everyone should definitely try this spot at least once, you won't regret it.

After a long work…read moreweek, I pictured myself enjoying a quiet, peaceful dinner where I could decompress and recharge. Instead, I accidentally walked into what felt like the culinary cousin of a nightclub. The music was pumping, the energy was high, and any thoughts of a tranquil retreat disappeared faster than my appetizer. Maybe it's a completely different vibe during the day, but at night, this place is definitely alive. That said, once I adjusted my expectations (and accepted that my meditation session would have to wait), I had a great time. The restaurant is located inside Sky Deck, an indoor food hall with multiple vendors. Finding it felt a bit like a scavenger hunt since the signage wasn't very obvious, but after asking around, I eventually made my way there. I started with the garlic green beans after seeing another reviewer rave about them, and wow- they were not exaggerating. The dish arrived with a tiny umbrella perched on top, which was both adorable and unexpectedly glamorous for a plate of green beans. This appetizer was small but mighty. Every bite was packed with flavor, and if I hadn't already ordered an entrée, I absolutely would have ordered a second round. For my main course, I chose the Pad See Ew with fried tofu at medium spice. Apparently, their definition of "medium" and my definition of "medium" are not close relatives. This dish came with a kick! Halfway through, I found myself wishing I had ordered something sweet to balance things out. Instead, I bravely faced the spice armed only with hot water and a slice of lime. Um, it was a battle. While the portion size wasn't quite as large as what I've seen at similar restaurants, it ended up being exactly the right amount for me that evening. I left satisfied without feeling overly full. The service was wonderful as well. The waitresses were kind, and the hostess checked in during my meal, which made the experience feel welcoming and attentive. Although I didn't get the quiet, zen-like end to my work week that I had envisioned, I ended up enjoying something different: a fun solo date surrounded by great food, upbeat music, and the infectious energy of the crowd. Sometimes the universe gives you a peaceful retreat, and sometimes it gives you spicy noodles and a soundtrack. This time, I got the latter- and I'm not mad about it.

What we tried: Thai Iced Tea with coconut milk Fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp Tom Kha with shrimp Moo Yang Mixture Set Braised Beef Panang Curry Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango Everything was truly topnotch. Every dish we got was so tasty and just made with love. One thing that was worth noting though, was how soft and tender the proteins were on the chef's signature dishes that we ordered. The braised beef just melts in your mouth! Their Thai Iced Tea was not too sweet and the mango sticky rice was utter perfection! The ambiance was amazing as their decor was not only simply exquisite, but so eye catching and interesting too, and the staff--they were so kind and attentive. You get the kind of service that will make you want to come back. They just make you feel so welcome here. Overall, we're absolutely delighted to have had dinner here and it certainly won't be the last time.

I tried "fan tuan" for the first time in LA a bunch of years ago, when a friend magically pulled…read moreone out of his pocket during one of those massive conferences where none of the food is delicious, affordable, or filling. I hate wasting a meal on mediocre food, so this was a truly generous surprise. I took my first bite, developed cartoon heart eyes, and now I think about it all the time! In my mind it's a west coast treat, so when I visited San Diego recently, I had a craving for it and decided to do some research; Reddit led me to Joyee Noodle House. I've been back home for months now, but I'm *still* thinking about this place. Fan tuan = purple rice roll on this menu. I had one purple rice roll, the sticky pork rice, and the radish cake. All taken to go on my last day in town. It was really hard to order light, because this whole menu is beautiful. But I had other food stops remaining and needed to keep room. I ate some of what I ordered for breakfast and saved the rest for airport snacking (the best). The depth of flavor in the sticky pork rice was unreal. I tried this same dish somewhere else recently and was so, so sad - it could not compare with what I ate at Joyee! The fan tuan was different than what I've tried in the past (more sauce, shreddy lettuce), but so delicious, and still such a perfect pocket breakfast. The radish cake was lovely. Everything was affordable. I ate a LOT of good food in San Diego, but this place really struck a chord with me. I wish I lived nearby. I'd be a devoted regular and I'd try everything once (or twice).

Came once to try their breakfast menu and was pleasantly surprised by the food, so we decided to…read morebring another friend and try some more dishes out, and we're glad we did! - PARKING - Fairly decent sized lot - they have additional parking around the corner if the main lot is all packed. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Honestly not a big restaurant, but they have tables that can easily be rearranged for larger parties. They also have tables outside under umbrellas. Staff is decently attentive, and after ordering, most of the food comes out within 15 minutes. - FOOD - We tried several items the first time we visited, here are some favorites that I remember: - Taro and Dry Pork Sandwich: I didn't think I'd like this, but it caught me off-guard and I really liked the flavor combination! - Sticky Pork Rice: Loved the bite size dumplings. - Radish Cake: Super crispy on all sides! This most recent time, we had the following: - Fried Buns: Nice crispy bottoms, but there wasn't much juice inside. The meat was flavored well though! - Signature Beef Noodle Soup: Very clean, clear broth. It doesn't have the spicy oil in it, but you can easily add it in from the table condiments. - Mongolian Beef with Buns: Nice flavoring on the beef, cooked well, and the buns are fluffy. - OVERALL - Still a solid spot the second time around! I do think a few items are pricey for what you get, but overall positive experience.

The wings were crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, and paired perfectly with their delicious dipping sauce. The fries were hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, especially for the price, making it an incredible value. The restaurant was clean, the food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. If you're looking for great comfort food with generous portions and excellent service, I highly recommend Pho & Wings in Poway. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!

I ended up with vermicelli with chicken, shrimp tempura, a huge bowl of pho and a galbi rice plate for my son. All were flavorful and made fresh. My son, who is a picky eater actually said he liked his meal! I guess we have found a new spot to dine at. Their dining area is clean and has a few TVs which was perfect to catch FIFA. Service was excellent. We were always checked on and were even provided with dessert at the end. If you're searching for Vietnamese Cuisine and find yourself near Scripps Ranch, give this place a try. You can thank me later.

The food may not be extremely outstanding, but it is very different and definitely better than many other places around the area. The restaurant is not very big, but it is clean and well-kept. Sometimes the service can be a little slow, probably because they are short-staffed, but overall, this is a good spot with consistent flavors and food that my family enjoys.

At our most recent visit, we ordered three takeout dishes. - Wonton Noodle Soup: (4/5) was OK. The noodles were a bit clumped together, this dish is probably best enjoyed in restaurant. - Fried Shrimp Lettuce Wrap: 5/5 the star of the show, incredibly crispy and juicy shrimp. - Pork Fried Rice: 3/5 was OK. The pork was a bit tough and the rice lacked uniform flavor between bites. My takeout experience was overall 3 stars out of 5. The big winner was the fried shrimp lettuce wrap which I will 100 percent get the next time I am here.
