We were in San Diego from out of town and celebrated my birthday here with several friends. Service was lovely and everyone's food was delicious. They even brought dessert with a candle unprompted. Would definitely return.

My only complaint is that I hate when solo diners are given the worst seat in the house. The food was fantastic. The service was good. But the seat was terrible.

We had a wonderful family brunch this last Sunday. Our waiter Nam took such great care of us with utmost professionalism and courtesy. Our little ones even spilled water more than once and the staff were so kind in helping clean it up quickly. Many thanks to the restaurant staff for providing such a pleasant experience. We will be back.
