Mouthwatering, wholesome BBQ with generous, heaping portions!! Featured in the video: Stack 'O' Meat "Seasoned smoky potato chips topped with all three of our smoked meats!

We ordered a bit late tonight but they put the order through. They were out of the chili so substituted their mac and cheese which is delish! They even put in a sweet note to let us know they substituted and gave us a larger portion and a some little extras. Hub got the two meat combo and I had the pulled pork sandwich. Best BBQ in North County! I have enough leftovers for two more sandwiches! Thank you Up in Smoke for the delicious food and great customer service. Sorry if we kept you open a little late.

I went to a few vendors. I went to the kettle corn spot and the K-Gimbap spot. I got a not so small bag of kettle corn and bulgolgi gimbap. It took 2 days for me to finish the kettle corn. I had to finish it quickly because it was getting bad. The gimbap was good. The vendor was super sweet. I would definitely buy again. I hope she has the combo next time I see her. She was also playing K-pop demon hunters. I'm sure there's usually more vendors at this location. The weather was just bad.

I tried some of the best tamales I've ever had here. They were so fluffy and flavorful. There were a lot of other trucks that had desserts and other foods as well, so there was something for everyone. There were several vendors with booths set up selling various items. One booth had some of the freshest flowers I've seen at a great price! I bought a very nice bouquet of sunflowers for a friend of mine. They had a stage with various entertainment such as dancers. There was also a beer garden, but you could barely call it that it was so small. I went early so want drinking so I didn't care. Overall we enjoyed it and will attend next year.

Slurp embraces everything awesome about Thai food with none of the extraneous western influences that simply detract from the food. They serve the tastiest food Thailand has to offer, street food, and they do it fast with a smile as if you were on a street corner in Bangkok. From pad kra pow to crab omelette, pretty much everything on the menu is some sort of fusion / street food goodie that is as close to real Thai food as it gets (stateside at least). Nevermind it's in the food court of a mall. Ignore the broccoli haired Gen Alpha's wandering aimlessly around. This place will transport you to the heart of the Thai street food scene by the first bite. And in true street food fashion, if you want something custom, just ask. The cooks are Thai and after a little translation (from the person at the register) they deliver made-to-order perfection. And if you want a real taste of Thailand make sure you order spicy level 10 ("fire-in-the-bunghole") but if you want the real Thai spice level ask for 20. Slurp redefines "mall food" to the extent that "I going to the mall" means I'm coming home with authentic Thai food rather than Hello Kitty artifacts from Miniso.

I did expect food to take a long time but I think the leftover wok burners when this was a Mongolian bbq location made it come out quickly. The food itself was pretty good but pricey.
