Awesome new Pho and Korean bbq place in Santee! This isn't your regular Korean barbecue place where they have a little grill at your table. They actually grill it for and bring it out cooked. On this visit, I ordered the pho with filet mignon. My soup was delicious. The meat was tender. It was served with fresh basil, jalapeños, lime, and sprouts. This restaurant is new so they don't currently serve any alcohol, but maybe we didn't need any alcohol. Pros: New restaurant in Santee! Plant of parking Clean restrooms Friendly family owned vibes Filet mignon is served here Korean barbecue is served here Delicious pho is served here Cons: Not 1 restroom, but we will get by read more

Asian Kitchen - Cambodian Near Me - Santee, California

Place is clean and comfortable, food and service were on par. More of an Asian fusion place.

Had high expectations when coming here but customer service was lacking and food quality just wasn't very good at all. Never had deep fried steak skewers before and to put Khmer next to it was an insult to Cambodia. Should be grilled and didn't know there was another way to cook them(ruin a good thing). The Lok Lak was good, and the papaya salad was decent but my stomach wasn't doing okay after trying a single skewer. Will not be back. read more

Asian Kitchen - Chicken pad thai and mango sticky rice - Cambodian Near Me - Santee, California

The item I ordered on the menu in the store and even at the counter when asked about vegetables, she says yes vegetables included. From the picture you can see there are no vegetables and when I call back, she argue with me telling me that's old menu new menu no vegetables. Chicken satay ice cold, dry and inedible. Orange chicken nothing but pieces of breading and dry inedible meat. Call back to request a complete refund at 7:35 PM and they told me they are closed. Come back tomorrow. read more

So today we were in the mood for some Asian cuisine and what better place to go for lunch... Asian Kitchen yes everything is Asian. It is not Chineese, Vietnamese, Thai, and even Korean it is just Asian. Once can get chicken satay, drunken noodles, beef yum salad, yum woon sen salad, and papaya salad just to name a few of the selections. There is plenty of parking and when allowed there is plenty of indoor seating. It is safe to surmise that they only do take out as I didn't see the place set up for outdoor dinning. during this particular visit my friend and I ordered Hot Basil Stir-Fry and Pad Thai Noodles. They order is made fresh and it tastes so good that I wanted to order more types of food but I just didn't have enough time during my lunch to put in another order. In my opinion you can't go wrong ordering from the menu, we have been trice and every time we were never disappointed. Come on down and support your local restaurant whenever in Santee. read more

Outstanding food! This place is a sleeper! I decided to try on a whim because I had heard it was good, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I tried the mixed sampler appetizer and the yellow curry. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were outstanding! Will definitely be back. read more

We ordered a yellow chicken curry which proved just right for two. It contained chicken, potatoes, small slices of carrot, and onion. It was good. I specified 6/10 spiciness, and the person taking my order said, "oh, spicy"; but I did not think it spicy much. We also got an order of pork potstickers. They were good but unremarkable. For dessert we headed over to the other store inside the space and got some tasty donuts and a cinnamon bun for the next day, all quite good. read more

The food here is so good! It was my first time going, and won't be my last. The food portions are giant but SO worth it. I had already eaten part of my fried rice and all of the Vegetables fried spring rolls before I took the picture haha! The people here are SO friendly. Seems like a family ran restaurant. They were so all sweet and so friendly! It is connected to their donut shop this looks absolutely amazing as well! They had music playing and the restaurant was so clean. It was a great choice. 1,000x recommend. read more

Came here once before in the morning before work just to grab a coffee, and the lady of the Bagel/Donut bar was really nice at the time. Came back a second time, total opposite. Kept stressing to me "she has a big order". It was to the point where i ordered a coffee and she was giving me attitude when i asked for half & half. You do realize that no matter how busy, if you have a paying cusotmer who wants to support a local business, at least give us some respect. Oh and the bagel with cream cheese i ordered only had it on one half!! read more

So goooooood! Super fresh and very satisfying! I had a custom order and they didn't even blink an eye! I am so glad we found this place.

What a surprise! Didn't expect to find such good Cambodian and Thai food away from University Ave, but here they are in Santee! We tried the Phnom Penh noodles, Cambodian beef skewers, and cha katna (Chinese broccoli with chicken), and we were impressed! Great quality and flavors, very authentic and fresh. Those beef skewers are so juicy and flavorful. The noodle soup was packed with fish balls and pork meat (no organ meats which I'm fine with ) and the broth was clear but packed with flavor and condiments on the side to add. The Chinese broccoli was perfectly crispy and the sauce had lots of garlic and a nice kick of chillies. The people are so nice here too! We definitely will go back to try more. read more

My wife enjoys the special soup. So much that she plans detours to Santee since we discovered this restaurant a few months ago. But she is upset that the soup rings up for a $1 more than listed on the menus posted in the window, on the menu board, and on the counter. read more

Yes!!! Pad Thai, chicken egg roll and egg drop soup. Delicious flavors. The pad Thai was so good, big serving. The chicken egg rolls were crispy on the outside and a burst of flavor inside. Burned my mouth. I could eat them all day. The egg drop soup needed just a little more flavor, but soy sauce and sriracha took care of it. This place just opened and it will now be my go to place for all my Asian food needs. No lie, it smelled like heaven inside. read more

Stumbled across this place on accident, and so glad I did! I love Asian food, so I was excited to try a new place so close to my house.. The best part is, is it connected to a donut shop as well. The donut flavors looks so amazing, just interesting combinations of flavors and they were so beautiful they were like pieces of art. I can't wait to try the donuts, but the flavors look so delicious I don't know how I'd be able to decide on only one? I ended up getting lunch on the restaurant side and I got the chicken chow mein. It was different than I'm used to, but tasted super fresh and healthy which I liked. Just a heads up for my fellow spicy lovers, I normally like a level 10 on the spice scale, but decided to start at a seven to see just because every restaurant does their spices different. The seven was not very hot at all. I will definitely go back again and again! read more

Very very good food! Seriously I ordered three different dishes and a salad to split and was very surprised about the flavor explosions. Service was great and the food is awesome! Would definitely recommend. read more

Picked up drunken noodles, pad wan sen, panang curry, and beef salad all spiced medium which was number 5 for them. Everything was good!! Delicious, authentic tasting Thai food. The chicken in the dishes was cooked just right, was not dry and hard. The beef salad was flavorful and fresh. I'm so glad there's another delicious, authentic Thai restaurant in Santee! I'll be back to try their other dishes! read more

We need to support this business and keep it open! I stopped by last week after a trip to Best Buy, since there was no line, I thought I'd order the wings. PERFECTION! Garlicky, crispy, meaty, moist, full seasoning and fresh sautéed onions and jalapeños. I couldn't wait to try more after this sample. Tonight I called in an order of pork potstickers. AMAZING! Best I've ever had, and my 11 month old is a huge fan as well. I also ordered the yellow curry. Everything I've ordered has been a healthy portion, enough for lunch tomorrow. I'm stuffed because I couldn't stop eating that curry masterpiece! Everything was so flavorful. It has left me craving more, this will be my new go to takeout place. read more

I don't know what happened to this place, but today was the first time I'd been in since the conjoined donut shop went out of business. The food quality has Tanked! I ordered mussaman curry and the sauce was Very thin and watered down to the point I could barely taste it, and the beef is not what they used to serve, now it's some thin flank steak or something yet they still charge more for beef. I had gotten an order to go, so it wasn't until I'd gotten home that I opened my sweet and sour dipping sauce for my sampler, and it was congealed and in the shape of the cup it came in. Wow, talk about sitting in that same cup in a refrigerator for Weeks! The fried skewered chicken was way overdone, and the cream cheese wontons were the laziest wontons I've ever seen; not all pinched and gathered in the center like you'd expect, just folded once in half. Odd, but what was even more odd was that even though I was the only one in there sitting at a bench designated for waiting, with only two other people in the place, the lady caled me up when my food was ready and then asked me to show a receipt to get my food even though she never gave me one. And she acted like me not having a receipt was gonna be a problem, when the place was practically empty and we both know she knows who paid for that food. Whaaat??!! Then as I'm leaving, hand on the door to push it open, she calls me back to tell me she forgot to include the chicken skewers. So then I waited longer while she over cooked them for me.... I don't know what happened to this place, but I can't come back. It's unfortunate. read more

Ok so reason for my score is because the dishes lacked flavor. Food just didn't have that jump for Joy taste like you expect when consuming Thai cuisine. I most likely wouldn't order from here again because I didn't enjoy eating plain noodles. Did however have nice presentation, restaurant was clean and customer service was great I just wished the food matched everything else. read more

Great food, sweet owners, this place is a great addition to Santee! read more

Really great new Asian spot in East County. Specifically they serve Thai & Cambodian food. We ordered the Mongolian beef, crab fried rice, and cream cheese wontons. Everything was pretty good. Not the best we've ever had, but would definitely go back if in the area. What's fun is they are attached to the donut shop next door, which had a lot of fun, unique donut flavors - like blueberry lemon oat, fruity pebbles and fruit loops. read more

The food is so-so. We tried 3 different entrees and two appetizers and none of it was that good. The shrimp spring rolls had an unexpected bunch of mint leaves in it. It was overpowering and off-putting. The donut shop in the same building is good. We really liked all of the donut options except for the Samoa ones because they used maple instead of carmel which was weird. Grab a donut, skip the main dish. read more

Surprisingly popular - especially for online orders. Expect to wait - even even if you don't see (many) others. Restroom out of order. No wall or separation between the Asian Kitchen and the Bagel and Donut Bar - which seems a bit odd - implying that the entire space used to be occupied by some other business before it was taken over by two totally unrelated ones willing to share the building (but probably not many customers). Anyway, the food is good. read more
