The half price apps from 4-6 are where it's at. They're super affordable. Been here 3 times and it's just great every time. Plus they have NA Asahi. The Sweet & Sour Calamari. Damn. It's probably the best calamari AND sweet & sour sauce I've ever had. I'm picky about that sauce too. Like really it's that good. I hope this place actually sticks around because it's so good. Everyone who works here is super good at what they do too. Super nice people. Oh, and ocean views.

Warning: they no longer have sushi or any raw fish.

I had my family in town and really hyped up their sushi as it was so fresh previously, I was so embarrassed when they brought out the dining equivalent to chicken nuggets. The prices are absolutely asinine, my family is already skeptical of CA prices and I was hoping to show them that sometimes they're worth it but instead this just reinforced the stereotype of paying $20 for prepackaged food. 2 stars because our waitress was super nice and gave us a free dessert. She was really apologetic as well. I hope they can turn it around, it's such a beautiful location, I'd hate to see it go to waste on such poor food.

The fried chicken bowl was loaded--crispy, juicy pieces drizzled with a rich savory glaze and sesame, sitting on fresh greens with corn and veggies. Balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. We also grabbed a basket with waffle fries and potstickers on the side--perfectly crispy and great for sharing. The sauces (kimchi, house sauce, and chili oil) added a nice punch to everything. The place itself is neat, casual, and welcoming, and the service was friendly and quick. What really stood out was the great price-to-value--generous portions and quality food without breaking the bank. Great food, great service, great value, and a laid-back vibe. Definitely worth the stop if you're around Imperial Beach.

The carajillo is absolutely fantastic here and it's probably because you can espresso brewing just a few minutes after you order it. If you are looking to extend your night and are in the area, the La Justina carajillo should be your move. On my last visit I ordered the chicken sandwich or "chicken burger" as I believe it was described on the menu. Loved it. I don't always need to go 100% Mexican food just because I'm in Tj and this sandwich/burger was hearty and didn't break the bank for a very filling (and slightly messy) meal.

Our experience here was great! We came here for the Mother's Day Brunch. The food was exceptional…read more At first we thought the portions were small, but we were getting full halfway through our mains. Even though it was a dim sum style service, they still served the food in sequence (cold, hot, mains, dessert last) which was great. They also have cocktails available to order. Everything that came out tasted great, we particularly loved the Sinuglaw Oysters, Ensaladang Bulaklak, Chicken Arroz Caldo, Taiwanese Chicken, and Banana Coffee Cake. Pork Tocino was great too, although I wish it came with steamed rice (personal preference, lol) and the sawsawan it came with was delicious! Duck Confit Bao was greasy, but it tasted fresh and duck was cooked nicely too. We thought the Wagyu Wonton tasted okay, the portions were differently sized which was odd. Everything else tasted good. Parking is available across the street, about 2-3 mins walk. Valet is also available for $20. We were going to bring and infant and stroller but decided not to, which was great since the ambiance is more "adults only" which is not a bad thing. There were families who brought kids and strollers and it seemed to have worked out great, as Animae accommodated the strollers too. Our server Shanice did a fantastic job and took care of our needs very well. Overall the experience was great, Chef Tara is amazing. They even handed out roses for the moms which was very thoughtful. We will definitely come back here when we are in San Diego.

Food in order of favorites Wagyu Fried rice: I know random, but hubby really liked it 5 out of 5 would get again Hunan Lamb chop: savory spicy, super tender, would get again. I liked this with the fried rice Kare Kare: hubby liked it. Would get again but hubby wants to try tocino first then would chose which to get again. Meat fall off the bone tender. Got the white rice with it and it's better with white rice than fried rice. Fried rice needs to be eaten alone Carpaccio: super buttery tender, liked the citrus and sweet and crunch would get again Espresso turon martini: super fun would get again. But maybe I would try to melon milk tea next time to change it up Mango sorbet: fun and tasty, I like having fruit chunks in my sorbet but the mango was frozen which made the sorbet more icy then creamy Charged carrots: not good, not for me If you are in San Diego and want fancy Filipino food then you have to go here Also if you want a really nice date place this is a great choice All my food allergy issues were also well take care of.

Portions were a great size for the price and food came out timely. We got some Pizzas and caprese salads for appetizers which were both good. Pizza was OK, probably wouldn't get again. And caprese salad was also average primarily because the tomatoes did not have a lot of flavor and were served warm. Main courses were very good including sushi rolls and the ochi! Wow it was super different with the mango sauce and I loved the tempura battered veggies. Would highly recommend! My coworkers enjoyed the other sushi rolls with Salmon. My coworker who got the spaghetti with meat boasts that it is the best he has ever had! Rice bowls got an OK review from my coworkers--- too much of veggies they didn't care for but overall solid. Great job all around... sushi and mozzarella seems like an odd combo but you all did a good job!

Met up for lunch for a belated birthday lunch celebration for our brother. It was our first time…read moremeeting up for the New Year (January), and birthday boy chose Mongol House. It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

They already mentioned that 20% service fee will be included. We were OK with that. However, the tax amount that was calculated was not correct. In San Diego, the tax % is 7.75%, however, this restaurant charges almost 10-11%. I was about to tell the server this, but my daughter and wife told me to let it go due to politeness. I don't think I will visit this restaurant again just because of their fraudulent practice.
