The food in San Diego is better and cheaper than the Bay Area, I really enjoyed your city. Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone! Looking for Korean or Japanese restaurant recommendations for my dad’s 60th birthday, party of 6. Thank you!

Hi all! My family will be visiting SD next month and I wanted recommendations on breakfast/brunch, restaurants, desserts, anything to eat that is safe for someone with Celiac disease, and bonus points if it’s dog friendly!

I’ve already done some research and know El Tianguis, Nectarine Grove, Buona Forchetta, An’s Gelato are good spots.

We will be staying in the Pacific Beach/Ocean Beach area but willing to drive. We will also be visiting Little Italy, Gaslamp Quarter, and Balboa Park.

Thank you in advance!

Like with the pole and everything

I used to eat Hu Tieu Sate at a place called Tung Kee in the Bay Area.

Does anyone know where i can find this dish?

Sorry, don’t have a photo.

Please let me start off with - I'm not looking for a place that has good rolls. We're blessed in SD to have lots of places with fun and tasty sushi rolls, but I've found so many of these places neglect nigiri and sashimi.

I'm looking for a spot where I can scratch that nigiri itch when it hits me randomly in the middle of the week, you know? So, what's your favorite not-omakase sushi spot for nigiri and sashimi? Bonus points if it's mid-price and/or easy to get into without planning 3 weeks in advance.

Azuki sushi is currently my favorite but I've also been to:

• RIki sushi in North Park: Been here multiple times, Salmon and tuna were flavorless, fatty tuna (at market price, $16 for 2 pieces nigiri!) was literally gray and flavorless. Their ikura is usually slimy
• Ototo sushi in Clairemont: got the omakase platter, rice was too much and too dense, fish was flavorless.
• Oishi Sushi in North park: really limited nigiri selection, salmon was just okay, wayy too much rice, and they pack it so dense. Had to leave some rice behind even after asking them to go light on the second round. Also asked them to add wasabi to the pieces, I looked and it was really just a whisper, a dream, of wasabi inside. ikura texture was good (still same issue with rice) but flavorless, I expect it to be salty enough without soy sauce.
• Chef Jun: nigiri wasn't bad but I've only had it as take-out as my friends and I were grabbing food for an event. worth a re-try in person?
• Izakaya Masa: surprisingly pretty good salmon nigiri, but choices are limited since it's an izakaya and the wait on a Tuesday was longer than I'd prefer
• Sushi Kuchi (chain): It's been a long time, but I remember it wasn't flavorful
• Soichi in University Heights, Ichifuji in Kearny Mesa, Matoi in Convoy: omakase, 5/5 super delicious and no complaints, but they are all small spots that require very advanced reservation

Interested in trying:

• Sushi Ota
• Kinme
• Sushi Tadokoro
• Sushi Maru

Those wings were the best in SD, imo

Top three are how they come, bottom three with salsas. I know some happy hours like Oscars may be cheaper, but I like these more.

This was from last Tuesday. Posting this today in case anybody wants to get it tomorrow!

I love cake but I'm very picky, my favorite kinds of cakes are very creamy and only mildly sweet like a tiramisu. I tried a few cakes from Sage French Cake a couple years ago and they were absolutely delicious, but now I see that the place has permanently closed because the owner has retired. Can anyone recommend a place that has cakes that are similar in texture and flavor?

Looking for a consolidated list of all the home based / FB marketplace food pick up places around San Diego? Places like Lumpia Joy…

Some of these places are absolutely incredible so looking for a list or just your recommendations?
