Went to Pelicana to try the Korean wings with absolutely no expectations. First impression: the…read moreplace was very, each table has a touchscreen for ordering, so there's no need for a server hovering over you. Need napkins, chopsticks, etc? There's an option for that on the screen too. There's also a small play area in the back, which is a nice touch. Basketball, Jenga, etc. I'd been warned about the spice it's not the same heat you'd get at a taco shop, and they were right. It has a different kind of kick to it. I got the original recipe, and it was just right. Feeling a little adventurous, I added the "spicy"sauce separately (it's an add-on). I also tried the pork dumplings those brought some serious heat. Most importantly what these wings memorable was the CRISP/CRUNCH. Definitely a place I'd come back to. It's a good chill vibes, not too loud, and you can have a good conversation without any distractions.

Been here a handful of times now in the last year and still promising! My favorite items are the…read moreoriginal crispy chicken, truffle fries, and corn cheese. The original crispy chicken has a really nice crisp on the outside. The whole chicken is good for 3+ people. Always have leftovers to take home. Although the flavored chicken was good, I don't think they're as good as the original because the sauces make the skin soggy. All dishes are served hot and fresh. The truffle fries have a lot of flavor. I also enjoy their complimentary Cole slaw and radish. During my recent visit, they gave me the radish in a sealed package which surprised me. I always come in for dinner and the place is never empty. You order on the screen at your table and the servers bring the food out to you. Service is always nice, never any complaints. The restaurant serves alcohol, has kpop music playing, shows sports and has a small game room. Will be back again soon!

Frank the manager was very helpful in terms of recommending items that I may have been craving…read more I've visited this location frequently and the food has always been on point in terms of quality and value. While I generally always get the Hot Chic sandwhich which is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, I opened for the chili oil dumplings which was new on the menu. It did not disappoint and left me wanting to eat more. The environment along with their staff is always pleasant and I'm glad it's one of my top places to visit frequently when I'm having a craving for Korean food. The double fried chicken is always crispy and their Wing Wednesday special in which a particular set of wings are $1.00 each is such a great value. It's honestly one of the best values in terms of what you get for quality and bang for your buck. If you haven't given this spot a try please do so, Cross Street has never disappointed me. It's definitely a hidden gem and I solely recommend it.

Was craving for some Korean Fried Chicken and landed here. The food here is so good…read more Ordered the corn cheese (don't miss out), bulgogi fries, and multiple varieties of chicken (they come in orders of 5). There's seating inside and outside. Outside seating is also dog friendly. There's some plaza parking going on so feel free to take your car. Came on a Tuesday during lunch time and was able to get seated right away. This restaurant is great for groups and the service is fast and kind. The pika soju was also a pretty good drink. Tasted like a refreshing lemonade. Forgot it had soju at times.

I had never been but it's in the same plaza as my favorite Korean BBQ spot so I was really excited to check it out. We were greeted right away and sat a roomy table, from the outside you wouldn't think this place was so big but it was really spacious. They had seating for patrons ordering take out which was nice. They have an app you can be members on too. After checking out the menu Cheryl ordered her usual which is the rose ddeok-bokki and honey garlic wings, I opted for the rice bowl after the server came by and gave us her favorite order, I chose Chicken Mayor Rice bowl with the jerk sauce. Okay, I did not know what to expect because this was absolutely delicious, the kewpie mayo is by far the superior mayo and that chicken is perfectly crisp and had great flavor from the jerk sauce and the scrambled eggs, oooomph absolute perfection! I did try Cheryls favorite and equally delicious, the crunch on the wings that tenderness of the ddeok-bokki and the sauce so good. I have a bb.q chicken a mile from my house and ended up ordering there and the National City location and now I am salivating just thinking about it.

Best of the Best Quality Chicken. First time visiting one of these chain locations and it did not…read moredisappoint. This is not American style bar wings (super saucy with ranch and celery) this is Korean fried chicken which is similar but has its own style. This location on Convoy is in a very busy strip that has several popular restaurants/businesses so parking can be competitive. We had to loop around a couple times until a spot opened up. The spots are pretty small too, so if you have a large vehicle it will be a tight squeeze! Carpooling is encouraged if you are meeting friends. The service was ok. They had only one person working the counter on a Friday evening so he was pretty swamped and couldn't give everyone the attention needed. It took awhile for him to take our order. But wow once we got our food we were blown away by the chicken. It is so crispy and delicious. Food took a minute but it was hot and fresh, not sitting around under a hot lamp. The chicken is not overly sauced. They keep it balanced. Tteokbokki is spicy. Fat rice noodles in a spicy sauce. Mozzarella sticks were very good and came with marinara sauce for dipping. Ordered a Korean Kloud Krush beer which is a light lager and paired well with fried food. We will definitely return to try more flavors.

Phuong Trang has been a San Diego staple for decades. It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

This one makes me so sad to write because Phuong Trang was THE place my family ate growing up. We…read morewere here basically every weekend and anytime my parents didn't cook dinner during the week, we were here lol. We also came here for birthdays, graduations, celebrations, pretty much everything growing up. We have SO many memories here and the food was always so good. But the last couple of years, every time we've been here, it's been a miss. We recently got some food to go and the noodles had a really weird/off smell and we ended up not eating them. The squid was also not edible at all, we could barely chew or bite through it. The chicken was really overcooked and fried so much that the meat was super dry and fibrous. And it's not just this one time. We've noticed the same thing when we've eaten here in person too. The cơm tấm dishes always seem to have an off smell and the rice has been hard and cold. I honestly hate leaving a review like this because this place was such a big part of my childhood and my family has so many memories here. I really hope they can get the food back to how it used to be because I would love to be able to enjoy this place again.

Could of used a little more sauce, but still was really good and don't forget the ranch! I didn't know you had to pay extra for the ranch so I had to order one.

Service was cool, your typical gen alpha cat that was always on his phone either on social media or on discord chatting with his gaming friends but also helpful when he needed to be.

My only disappointment was I asked for spicy level 10, or 11, or 12, and I thought I got a level 1. I thought she misheard me, but I realize my spice tolerance is just over 9000. Haha. The Lao sausage was awesome. Thats the flavor profile I've been craving and it has been quenched today! I really loved this place and its deep flavors.

This place is well known for their fried chicken steak, but they also have self-serve skewers you can grab for them to fry. We had a few and they were okay--i could do without them next time, but it was worth trying. The place was clean, they had several tables and chairs available. The staff was okay, seemed a little standoffish and didn't talk to us much. Service was fairly quick. I would love to come back and take some of their chicken steak and potato balls with taro to go!!
