    CoCoCurry found a new customer! I received amazing customer service! Oh I wish I would have got her name but not only did she welcome me immediately, she asked if I wanted to try all the different curries. I sampled each one and they were absolutely delicious. I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted. I ended up choosing grilled shrimp with flat noodles and the Khao Soi Curry. I added some heat as well! This curry I was told is a northern Thai curry. I also added Thai omelet for $3 more. As soon as she put the food down I smelled the warm spices with the cilantro. The shrimp were nice size (tail on). I enjoyed every last bite and left nothing. Flavors were bold and the medium heat was perfect. So many different ways to create your food just how you like. The add on prices I feel are reasonable. CoCoCurry is small inside but the decor is amazing, the only downside is the parking. Very tight parking! I can see them opening up another location eventually. I highly recommend going and giving them a try.

    CRISPY FISH FILLETS with masaman curry
    Sarah B.

    Everything was delicious! Where do I start... the build your own curry concept is so fun. You basically go on a little curry journey before even sitting down, and it definitely wakes up your taste buds. We went with the Massaman with crispy fish fillets and rice, and the Khao Soi with grilled king mushrooms over egg noodles... flavors galore. Lita walked us through all the base and topping options, which made the experience even better and truly appreciate that extra connection. No complaints. 10 out of 10.

    Appetizer, drinks and dessert menu as April 2026

    Came here on a Friday afternoon right at opening. I love Thai curry and was excited to try this place. It wasn't busy for lunch time, though several people came in to take to-go. Seemed to be quite a few first timers. There's a small parking lot with tight spots that is shared with nearby businesses like a barber and 7-Eleven. I would probably recommend just parking on the street nearby. The place had about three four tops, six two tops, and a handful of bar stool seats facing the window/ parking lot. We were greeted immediately asked if we were first-timers, and were offered samples of all their Curry sauces. All were pretty tasty and had no spice to little spice as the baseline. They take your order at your table -- pick your protein, curry, then base. Add sides (+$) or heat if you'd like. Appetizers, drinks, and some alcohol (beer & wine) options available. We ordered the chicken curry puffs - which was plated with a bit of curry sauce. Would order again. For main foods: I ordered the Khao Soi with egg noodles, grilled steak, a fried egg (+$3) with medium heat. My friend ordered the yellow curry, with crispy chicken, and vegetables (+$1: bean sprouts, cabbage and lime), and hot. Medium was explain to be one step above the heat of the samples we had. I would say it was still pretty mild, but tasty. Friend's 'hot' felt more like a 3-4 out of 10. Her plate definitely could have done with more curry, but we were otherwise pretty happy with our food. Decided to order desert - there were 3 options: Coconut ice cream with corn kernels, mango sticky rice, or a combo which combined both desserts. We opted for the combo. The ice cream was a little iced, sticky rice was tasty and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our dessert. Service was great. It was just the one person working the front of house when we visited. She was pleasant and attentive. We would come back to eat here again.

    Two things assaulted my senses the moment I walked in. The first was the girl behind the counter asked me to taste test all five of their curry. She said the khao soi was her favorite, and I was convinced into agreeing. I was also partial to the mustard flavor and fragrance. If I hadn't tasted them, I was probably going to order the massaman. They were all delicious though. Well, I did find the green curry a tad weak, but that was at least partly because I had to taste that one last. And green curry has a softer flavor to begin with. The second assault was there was some relatively loud music playing. Not super loud. Just noticeably louder than average for a restaurant, and yet, it was super relaxing. Because it was, like, some Bossa Nova cafe vocal mix. I only know that because I just could not remember what the genre was called, so I went and asked the employee about the music also. Anyways, I ordered the khao soi (hot) with rice and chicken thigh, and it was amazing. The umami of the curry impressed me a second time. The chicken and breading were both soft. The onions and fried egg also mixed in perfectly. This is easily some of the best curry I've had in San Diego so far. I also ordered a tom yum noodle soup with beef. This was also good, but not as impressive as the curry. I believe their meat is also made the same separately no matter what entree you're ordering, so the meat is not made specifically for the soup. Aside from that, the only other negative I can think of, if it can even be considered a negative, might be the location? The neighborhood outside is slightly sketchy. There was a homeless person sitting in the corner in front of the 7-eleven next door. Another homeless man with no shirt on came around the other side of the building and was hanging around in the parking lot right in front of the restaurant. The vibe of this joint really pulls you in though. Something about it feels like an oasis and encourages you forget about the outside world once you're inside. I don't believe in stuff like feng shui, but if there's any truth to it at all, I'm sure this interior design gets an A+ in it.

    I'm not a huge fan of curry but this place made me change my mind. They have different types of curry and you can choose your base and protein. I came in with my friends when nobody else was in the restaurant so we were able to sample their different curry flavors. The girl that served us was very nice and informative because we did not know what we wanted. They have other dishes as well but the curry was the star. There's also a few selection of beer and wine. The restaurant was clean. It is a small establishment so it can get crowded and there's not a lot of parking.

    Found this Thai curry spot near where I lived and went for dinner. If you are dining there, know the dining area is rather small. The staff are all so welcoming and helpful when it comes to the curry you want to have with your food. They even let you sample each one so you can pick the one you like best; although, they ALL were amazing, making it hard for me to choose. I ended up getting the Panaang curry with rice and a curry pastry as an appetizer. The curry pastry was filled with potatoes and other vegetables and served with a sweet and spicy sauce to dip it in. The curry was packed with flavor with a subtle kick to it as well but not overwhelming. I will definitely be making this spot a recurring dinner spot!

    I have dined in and ordered out from here multiple times. Ambience is good. Small little seating section for about 5 to 6 groups. The restaurant is decorated nicely love the pops of yellows that represents curry. Service is always great when I come in. Greeted as soon as you walk in the door and promptly seated as I have not been when it's been busy the cashier offered a tasting of each curry so that we knew which one we would love the most. I have had a variety of the dishes here and they all have been phenomenal. The most recent dish I've had was the salmon with rice and the pan curry. The flavors were dancing in my mouth. Parking is shared with the others two or three stores in the plaza. It can be a bit tight. I would highly recommend.

    I bookmarked this spot last year and we finally got around to dining here on Thursday for lunch at noon. Parking lot is shared with 7-11, Barbershop and Jewelry store. It feels a little sketchy on the outside but the inside feels like sunshine. We were greeted by the friendly woman behind the counter. We welcomed us warmly and clearly explained the process and other menu offerings. We got to sample all the curry sauces, it was hard to choose since they were all divine. She sat up at a table and brought over menus and water. I peeked at the menu before we arrived and had my heart set on Khao Soi with the steamed tofu, rice noodles and Papaya Salad on the side. My friend ordered Massaman with veggies and Jasmine Rice. She also got a Thai Iced Coffee Togo. Both of our meals yummy. I wish my Papaya Salad came with the fermented fish sauce. We ended up stay long after we finished lunch just chatting. There were a few other patrons dining during our visit. Definitely tempted to come back to try a different combination and may the mango and sticky rice.

    This is a such a nice little restaurant. As soon as you walk in you can see and feel the care and love this owner has put into this space. She will greet you first and have you taste her incredible curries. There are six of them. Each are delicious and unique from the others. You chose your protein, add a curry and a base. They also have other dishes as well if you don't want curry. We order the khao soi, Penang, and green curries. We had the crispy duck, salmon, and chicken. Also ordered the papaya salad. Each was delicious and we all enjoyed our dishes. We also tried the mango and sticky rice. Definitely will come back here.

    Khao soi with egg noodle and softshell crab
    Jennifer N.

    It was our first time and we were greeted warmly. Our waitress had us try all the curry flavors and they were honestly all delicious. I've never had an experience like this before and the customer service was amazing. For my first visit I had the fried softshell crab with the khao soi and egg noodles. It was delicious and I wish my stomach was big enough to try more food but it looks like I will have to return again so I can try the other flavors and protein options. What drew me here was I wide selection of proteins on the menu and they had an Instagram story mentioning that they had softshell crab on the menu. The interior was super bright and clean. I really liked the vibe. I can't wait to try more

    I love this place so much. It's like Chipotle but for curry! They have other thai dishes as well but all of their curries are delicious especially the khao soi and massaman. Staff are kind and the coconut thai tea is addicting sometimes i drink two .

Easy spot to spend more time than you planned, especially with the older games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Mario Kart. The workers and or owners were super laid back and super helpful. We ran through a few burgers and they all delivered. Good smash style, crispy edges, solid flavor. Nothing felt basic, each one had something a little different going on. The Oyama was also my favorite just because of the texture, had a nice crunch that made it stand out. The real surprise for me was the wings. Came during happy hour and the $1 wings are honestly one of the best deals I've seen. They came out hot, super plump, and actually had flavor not just sauce. That alone makes it worth coming back. Overall great vibe, good food, and solid value. I'd definitely run it back, especially for the wings!!

I also liked that the wings were very meaty. -horchata bites 3.5 - they were not bad. Since they were called horchata bites, I wanted more of that horchata flavor to hit my taste buds. -oyama burger 5 - I only had a bite of this since my girlfriend ordered this. I actually prefer this over the diego burger. -diego burger 3.5 - this one was okay. I had plenty of sauce on mine, but I felt like the burger was overshadowed by the arugula. The burger should be the star of the show but I had too much arugula. It masked the flavor of the burger.

Recently, when a friend was in town, I finally committed to trying this brunch spot with them! We made plans last minute so were unfortunately unable to make reservations. We came around 11am on a Friday and there was no line when I joined, though a queue formed right behind me. I got there before my friends (rare North Park parking luck) and the friendly staff allowed me to claim a table and wait for them. The shop is gorgeous with lots of wooden elements and big, open air windows. The overall vibe is clean and airy, and there are cute flower decorations on each table. Service was friendly and while they aren't beating any speed records, food came out in a reasonable timeframe. My thoughts below: Mango matcha latte: This was smaller than I expected. It costs $1 extra for the seasonal fruit puree and they really give you your money's worth when you get it. Before I gave the drink a good stir, I was worried that the fruit would overpower the matcha as the drink looked rather pale. However, as I stirred, the milkiness bloomed into one of the most richly green matchas I've seen in a while!! Each sip is rich with not-too-sweet Mango puree, tempered by the earthiness of the matcha. Wow, what an excellent matcha latte! Beignets: These sell out so I was very relieved when our server said they were still available. They have a sweet and a savory version, and we opted for the sweet. It comes with 5 beignets and black sesame + matcha cream spreads. The beignets were lighter and fluffier than donuts with a slightly yeastier taste. The outside had structure while the inside was super soft. Perhaps I overhyped them in my head but by no means were they bad. I really loved how flavorful both cream spreads were, and they were necessary for proper enjoyment of these fried treats. Duck and waffle: This was a crispy duck leg served atop a waffle with a guava sauce on the side, likely a riff on the popular citrus/berry pairings of French cooking tradition, in the shape of the classic southern fried chicken and waffles. The duck was perfectly tender and the skin was well-seasoned, and the waffle was crispy. The guava sauce was divisive with my table but I liked it! The floral funk of guava brightened up the richer, earthy duck and the waffle benefited from the presence of both flavors. Mushroom Chazuke: Mushrooms and rice served with a light, bonito-based broth and various garnishes and crispies on top. This was incredibly flavorful from the variety of mushrooms and the fish broth. The mushrooms were perfectly crisped and the rice had a nice chew. Flavorful yet soothing interlude from the more adventurous or bold flavors of the rest of our dishes. Shakshuka with fish: This was the undisputed hit with my party. The fish was a flaky white fish, cooked perfectly fork-tender. The dish hit the perfect balance of salt, sugar, and acid with a dash of flavorful fats from the Boursin cheese swirled in. Pop a soft spoonful atop the crispy bread it comes with, and the taste and feel in your mouth are just indescribably good in the way that excellent dishes are. We scraped this dish CLEAN with a quickness. Genuinely one of the best breakfast dishes I have ever tried, and I will definitely be experimenting with adding fish to my shakshuka at home now. While Between Us is on the pricier side and their portion sizes aren't crazy, they are definitely priced in the brunch range. Smaller plates just means more stomach space to try more of their amazing menu! It was frankly agonizing trying to decide what to order, and there are probably two meals worth of dishes left off our table. I will most definitely brave North Park parking to come back and try them!

For mains, we ordered the tri-tip sandwich (aka "Cardiff Crack") and the chicken sandwich. The tritip especially lives up to the hype really tender, packed with flavor, and easy to see why it has that nickname. Dessert is what stood out so much . The butter cake comes warm with ice cream and purée, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. I took a bite and just paused for a second it's that kind of dessert Overall, a really good spot if you want elevated comfort food in a laid back setting. I'd definitely come back, especially for that butter cake and tritip

    We love coming to North Park! It's vibrant, eclectic, and walkable to many shops, boutiques, art…read moregalleries and diverse eateries. It's definitely a hub known for its craft beer scene, trendy dining, and historic charm. Among them is Encontro! This trendy bar and grill serves a wide selection of American pub fare with creative twists, including burgers, sausages, salads, and brunch items. It offers a relaxed, dog-friendly environment with indoor/outdoor seating, and impeccable dining service. My wife made a reservation for (4) around 6ish. The hostess greeted us with a smile and led us to our table. The vibe was warm, welcoming and trendy with open bay windows that provided just the right amount of open air to enjoy our evening dinner. Our server Jamal made some great recommendations- Prime Pork Chop. Incredibly succulent, moist, and tender. A nice thick-cut, bone-in loin, seared to a deep, caramelized brown and served medium rare- chef's kiss! My wife ordered her usual Fish & Chips- the jalapeño tartar sauce was absolutely delicious (great accent). Our friends ordered the Baja Jalapeño Caesar and Cardiff Crack. The steak was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection-medium rare. Overall, we had an exceptional dining experience and would recommend this place to anyone!

    First spot we hit for brunch on my birthday trip was Kensington Cafe in San Diego. I'm glad we…read morearrived when we did because we barely had any wait time it definitely looked like it gets busy.. I ordered the hot honey chicken and waffles, and it was so damn good. It honestly left me wishing we had a location near me! The waffles had such great flavor that I didn't even use the syrup I just added butter. The chicken had the perfect crisp, too. I would've loved a little more hot honey, but that's just me. For coffee, I went with a vanilla cappuccino, which I also really enjoyed. Overall, I had a great meal at Kensington, and if I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be coming back.

    loved this place, it was full on a saturday afternoon but we were seated within 5 minutes…read more it's kind of dark inside, next time I would definitely ask for outside seating to enjoy the sun and the warmer weather. our food and coffees were delish. server is super nice, although don't remember catching her name. I got an asada hash bowl, I feel like there could've been more more asada after looking at the pictures of other bowls posted on here. nonetheless it was still super filling and I had to take the leftovers home. I had to get a side of a pancake, it was warm and fluffy - just perfect! I want to come back and try more especially their sweet breakfast dishes! ps you can also come in and order to go coffees at the coffee counter!
