I've been to Khan's Cave several times, and they've been consistently good. The food is always fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the menu has plenty of choices. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly hosts, and the service is always fast and attentive. I especially appreciate the quick service because I often come here during my lunch hour and don't have a lot of time to spare. The restaurant has fun themed décor, plenty of seating, and a comfortable atmosphere. Their lunch prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. Overall, Khan's Cave has become a reliable spot for me when I want a good meal and great service without a long wait. read more

We decided to try this place, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. I was craving curry, but it was extremely watered down and runny, with mostly chicken and very little vegetables. For $16, I've had much better portions elsewhere. The $10.50 garlic naan appetizer was also disappointing--basically one piece of naan with a salad underneath. I didn't want a salad. The shrimp were also not panko as expected. I understand prices are higher these days, but the food, portions were not worth it. I won't be back. read more

Went to Kahn's hungry during happy hour. I left stuffed. Good prices for the happy hour food and drinks. Had the loco moco and was pleasantly surprised. Not the typical gravy, but a nice Asian sauce that wasn't heavy. Everyone's food look good and had a good time. Wednesday happy hour is 3pm till closing so if you get a chance to go then you won't feel rushed Good beer selection and it is cold Great neighborhood place read more

The ambiance is great. The ceilings are plated and decorative and a giant Buddha greets you at the door. The service was efficient if a little unfriendly. The food was solid. The menu says to ask for a gluten free menu but they don't have one. You have to ask your server if what you want to eat is gluten free. It's not marked on the menu or anything. So make sure you have a backup. The vegetable chicken was made gluten free but maybe they forgot that tamari is saltier than soy sauce. It was pretty salty! Overall a good spot for gluten free Asian food. read more

Met some family at Khan's for lunch and I'm really impressed with their menu. Lots of variety; Asian dishes, Persian dishes, even burgers. The table next to us had burgers and they looked really good. We ordered the gyoza appetizer, honey walnut prawns and crispy tangy garlic chicken. All were very tasty, a bit rich and fattening, but that was expected. Service was good; friendly and fast. I recommend this place for a casual and delicious lunch meal. Lunch for three was about $60 with tip. read more

I had no idea what to expect for this place, went in thinking it was a dive bar but it's actually a delicious restaurant. Ordered so many things and none were average or bad! Rack of lambs are some of the best I've had, spicy eggplant so dang good, gyoza 10/10, my stepdad had the burger and said it's honestly one of the best he's had, sweet and sour chicken, so good, duck buns are also perfect. There is definitely something for everyone. The place is great and service is attentive and come with great recommendations, but it was a bit loud with the live music, still recommend. read more

Definitely catering to a non-Asian and much older population palette given the lack of flavor and patrons who were there; flavor was more like Panda Express but not as seasoned. Expensive for style of food. Very loud environment. read more

Met a friend for dinner on Friday night at Khan's Cave. It is nice to go at night since the parking lot can get very crowded during lunch. It is solid Chinese fusion (I use fusion loosely since the menu is more hodge podge with Thai dishes, American food, sushi) restaurant. Most entrees are around $20 and servings are generous. I had the Aloha Loco Moco, a big pile of rice with a large hamburger patty, 2 fried eggs and peppers gravy. It was very satisfying. My friend had the seaweed cucumber salad and chicken fried rice. I stole a bite of the rice and yummy! You can taste the flavor seared in by a hot wok. Not sure why, but it is the local watering hole. The bar is usually packed with guests watching various sports games. Not something you would normally since in an Asian restaurant, but nice to see Khan's becoming an integral part of the community. read more

It's been a while since last time i visited. They have so many options on the happy hour menu. I liked that they have happy hour till 7pm. The price is very reasonable. I liked fried Brussel sprouts, fried calamari and butter garlic shrimp. I enjoyed a glass of plum wine. The service was good. It was crowded but We got a table right away. It's a good place for happy hour. read more

Khan's Cave was... an experience. My date surprised me with comedy tickets, someone recommended this spot, and the menu screamed Asian American fusion so we gave it a shot. The second I slid into the booth, sank down, and realized the cushions were not attached; I knew the vibes were about to be questionable. Peeling paint, tired walls, and a whole lot of "when was this last loved?" It's hard to fully enjoy duck fried rice and loco moco when the ambiance feels like a tavern in Idaho cosplaying as an Asian restaurant. The food was good, not life changing, just mid. I won't be back until the place gets a little glow up, because if the front looks like that... I don't even want to think about the back. read more

Fantastic Happy Hour menu everyday. Great prices, value, and selection of dishes that are perfect for sharing with a group or family style dining. Mostly Asian dishes, but the hamburger BLT was really good and it came with fries and a side salad. Very delicious and perfectly portioned. Everything was tasty, good size portions, and service was exceptional! Very laid back vibe with Padres game on TV. Parking was easy too. Will return soon. read more

Wide and varied menu. Asian fusion for the most part. The dishes were fried were uniformly excellent. Prices were on the higher side of reasonable given the venue/quality. Parking is adequate in the shopping center. The scented cleaning products smell was pervasive and likely will prevent us from returning. Not sure if was hand sanitizer or table cleaning or what, but genuinely unpleasant. read more

Khan! Wow Khan cave took my breath away with its Khan's fried rice with beef. It transported me to San Francisco 2010, when I would go visit my uncle and aunt, and we would go to a specific restaurant... maybe putting it too romantic, but the dish tasted like good times and definitely amazing fried rice. Our server, a very fine lady, she advised us what to get, my friend got the lamb, and we both loved the food. The clientele seems to be comprised by frequent flyers and newcomers, the ambiance is beautiful and amicable, definitely a weekend afternoon delight! read more

I enjoy coming for happy hour, and it is clear there are some regulars who come consistently as this place was BUSY. The happy hour is very much worth it and has a ton of options. I do recommend coming with a group of people and sharing different things. The bar section was VERY popular and can get pretty rowdy. The servers were all nice, food was served quick, and drinks came out in a timely fashion. The drinks are pretty strong and there is a nice selection. Highly recommend for a casual outing for some tasty food and good drinks. read more

Great food! We loved the creamy walnut shrimp, kung pao chicken, and the grilled salmon with garlic ginger sauce. The steamed wonton appetizer and ahi poke salad were also delicious. Even the side salad was yummy! Only thing I didn't love was the egg flower soup. The broth could have been a bit more flavorful. However, I'd definitely come back! Friendly, attentive staff. read more

I ordered "Beef Chow Fun." They should rename it Beef Chow Funk, or, Beef Chow Foul. The onions weren't cooked. The dish was greasy. It had no flavor. The beef [I use that term loosely] was stringy and unable to chew it - I had balls of inedible beef lining my plate as I had to spit it out. Two friends and myself were there for a Monday lunch, and they were not busy, yet...the waitress brought out ONE DISH AT A TIME...with about 5 minutes between each dish! Really? Crappy food and a kitchen that can only prepare one dish at a time? I only ate a small portion of my order. I brought the rest home, and tried to spice it up. Couldn't. Still nasty. Now it's in the green bin for food waste recycling. Signed, Beef Puppy Chow read more

Went for happy hour and there's decent menu items. Ordered some Brussels sprouts and baos. It was pretty packed for happy hour. The food was average I would say. Nothing special or out of the way I would go for. It was a decent happy hour in the area. read more

Another successful outing to Khans. They have a lot of fusion and traditional dishes with the common thread of comfort. Craft cocktails complement the meal perfectly, we had the raspberry LI iced tea and the ginger old fashioned. Entrees were also very good with the pan seared tuna salad was everything you want from that dish. The rest of the party ate traditional style crispy chicken and vegetables. Khans is khans for ambience. It is very niche looking 70's to eighties style Asian restaurant. The service was attentive and on point. This is a feel good, doggy bag take away place with very tasty well constructed meals. read more

Plenty of parking, but I guess it depends on day and time, but there is a large parking lot. Food was great. I had the shrimp fried rice. They didn't hold back on the portion. I barely was able to eat all of it. Should have taken some home. Good amount of shrimp. I am definitely going to return to this hidden gem!! (It's behind the Wells Fargo at the corner of Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Ruffin Rd). read more

Wow! This is a hidden Happy hour gem. Good choices of drinks including wine for great prices. The happy hour selection is broad with amazing prices! I loved their Steamed Pork Gyoza, full of pork and not one of those gyoza with barely no meat. The owners super friendly and say you down right away. It's clean and just feel like one of those hidden restaurant no one knows about. MUST TRY! read more

I've never been a big fan of this place, but I finally have had enough. There's so many other establishments in San Diego to go to then to visit here. PROs: In a prime location for very good convenience. CONs: Parking is a challenge in the evenings. The decor and ambience reminds me of a 1980s bar you would see on TV like cheers. I would expect much cheaper food and drinks for that kind of vibe. The staff usually looks like they're either hung over, incompetent, or no interest in being there. They sometimes attempt humor but I've often found it more annoying than entertaining. It's not uncommon to see the place unattended for long periods of time. Food items are OK but they're extremely overpriced. I would recommend ordering beer since getting the mixed drinks is hit and miss as far as made correctly. It's like the local watering hole for 50+ recently divorced that love to use the F word like it's the ninth part of speech. Definitely not family, or civilized friendly. read more

Fantastic service and delicious menu. Our group dines here often. We are a large group averaging 20 to 30 guests.

Still great after all these years! I've never been disappointed. We have a group that goes there at least twice a month! read more

Great place for happy hour and great accommodations for a large group! Service was good. I would say that their peking duck buns weren't the best and their dan dan noodles were also not the best. I liked their lychee martini and the vibe of the place was so unassuming. I didn't think it would be so popping on the inside. There's definitely something for everyone and it's good to go with a group and reasonable prices. Parking was pretty easy (at least on a Tuesday) read more

If you like Asian fusion/Asian American food you will love Khan's! I think it's one of the better places that do what they do. Great for groups. I typically come here with friends for happy hour. I usually avoid Asian fusion but Khan's has some seriously cravable specialties and some great shareable dishes and it all works out when you're in a big group. Service depends how full the restaurant is, so I can be quick or delayed but the food is always hot and the drinks cold. I like the interior design, I just wish they would remodel or upgrade elements: the foyer, the bar, the dining tables/chairs, its has a been around look. Great ambiance, busy/noisy at times but fun. The cocktails are ... average. I had lunch and got 'to go' food because their 'to go' and leftovers are as tasty and fulfilling as eating in (see pic) I think it's the fresh ingredients, decent cooking and well done sauces that make this food so cravable, not sure. It's definitely not the best at any one thing but all-around they do a fantastic job with Asian fusion cooking. In the pic I have a few of my favorites that i recommend: Seafood Phad Thai, Pork fried rice, Garlic Shrimp, and Spicy Eggplant. read more

Friday night dinner after work. Came just in time to catch the tail end of HH which ends at 7pm. Feels like a small neighborhood spot with a lot of regular locals. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly and staff checked on us regularly. The food was hit and miss. Some dishes were amazing 10/10 and others were disappointing. 1. Garlic sole filet - light but flavorful, big portion, fish was tender and lightly breaded 10/10 2. Ginger glazed shrimp basket - crispy with great flavor! 10/10 3. Sweet and sour wings - crispy, a little too much breading, good flavor 7/10 4. Chicken lettuce wraps - small portion, a little salty 5/10 5. Duck sliders - 3 Bao buns with a small piece of chewy duck 3/10 We would come again as there are many menu options to try and for their genuine hospitality. read more

I have been hearing this spot mentioned for a long time but didn't really know much about it when I was invited. It was an unforcasted very rainy night and I was drenched walking from the parking lot to the restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted promptly and shown to our table of 30. At the entrance stands a large gold Buddha, the walls and ceiling are wood with ornate gold embellishments. A tv with specials and pictures of delicious looking dishes was on rotation. Serval appetizers were ordered for the table and we all enjoyed them as we socialized and perused the extensive menu. The had Thai, Japanese, Chinese and Italian influenced dishes so maybe some thing for everyone? The server continuously checked in and made sure our drinks and water were filled. Then it was time to order. I was cold and wet and so I decided to order ramen much to the servers dismay and he shot me a look and made a noise that indicated I hadn't made a good choice. I asked what he recommended and he said the Chilean sea bass or the sole. Knowing the price of Chilean sea bass and the fact that the bill was being paid for by my friend's work I opted for the sole. As he continued down the table I heard him push the sea bass several more times. It is one of the most expensive items on the menu, if not the most expensive. The server was definitely upselling as we all ordered drinks and he kept bringing more without being prompted. My sole came and it was so delicious. The portion was huge, 2 large filets over broccoli. People ordered lamb, sea bass, cashew chicken and many other dishes. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food and we all had a good time. I would come back for the sole dish alone but my lemon ginger old fashioned was also very good read more

Revisited recently and same great atmosphere and great food.

I had a chicken salad and the bowl of won ton soup, which was fantastic and loaded with shrimp along with the stuffed won ton which my husband and I shared and had enough left to bring home for later. read more
