While every item featured is delicious, the Satay Chicken is the star of this dish! The warm peanut sauce and cucumber sauce are beyond flavorful and the perfect accompaniment to each sampler item. The appetizer came out insanely fast both times I ordered it, which was amazing considering how hungry I became after smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen. Since the entire menu sounds so appetizing, I brought my boyfriend with me so that I could order two dishes that I wanted to try (for us to "share"). The Tangerine chicken was phenomenal, perfectly sweet and the vegan chicken was perfectly crispy. The See Ew was out of this world! Beyond flavorful and the vegan duck was unbelievably good! I would highly recommend both of these dishes, however based on my experiences here I am pretty sure everything is equally as delicious!! Can't wait to return and try more entrees!

Saturday night after a show at the theater down the street, we were walking along Park and decided that was the night! It was almost 9 o'clock when we came into the charming house-turned-restaurant and asked if it was too late to get a table. We were assured it was the perfect time and seated right away. Our lovely server, Melissa, offered us expert guidance on the menu. We went with her suggestion of the roasted mushroom appetizer and were floored by them. I wouldn't expect to be so stunned by mushrooms of all things (I can only think of one other time and beer batter was involved then) but they're wonderfully seasoned and have unexpected crunchy bits. We completely cleaned the plate, scooping up all the spaghetti squash accompaniment. Our mains were also delicious, a fava bean and a lamb entree with cabbage and lentils as the sides. Melissa delivered extra injera without us even asking, and gave us the excellent tip as we headed out to add our leftovers to a pan of scrambled eggs. We did so the next morning, and ate them with our crisped up leftover injera, a very tasty cap to our experience with Muzita!

Admittedly, in our relationship I am the researcher & planner extraordinaire while hubby is the…read moredriver & enthusiastic follower. But every once in a while, hubby has a special request & we make it happen. His San Diego wish? Thursday night all-you-can-eat lobster dinner at 100s Seafood Grill Buffet. And when I say seafood extravaganza, I mean it. Beyond the lobster, there were crab legs, oysters, sushi galore (maki, nigiri & sashimi), lots of Asian specialties plus plenty of American comfort-food favorites to satisfy just about everyone. Now, full disclosure: my feelings were a little mixed, but hubby? He was living his absolute best life. The lobster is served cut in half & broiled, which unfortunately made the meat sort of melt into the shell. Each half ended up being only a couple bites & you did have to wait in line to grab one when fresh trays came out (one half per person at a time). That said, credit where it is due: the kitchen brought out lobster trays pretty regularly, so the wait never felt unreasonable. Meanwhile, hubby proceeded to eat what I can only describe as his body weight in crab legs. His only critique was that he prefers them served hot rather than cold, although the hot butter on draft definitely helped make up for that. I also appreciated how many unique dishes were available beyond seafood, making the buffet feel more interesting than your standard steam-table experience. And for me, the dessert section was a standout, especially the gelato station, which I may or may not have visited more than once. At $56.99, my personal preference would probably be to spend that money at a really good sushi restaurant. But if your dream scenario involves unlimited lobster, crab legs, oysters & a seafood feast where you can try a little bit of everything, this place absolutely delivers. Final verdict? Maybe not my personal seafood fantasy but hubby was THRILLED & sometimes that's the most important review of all. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

What really elevated it was that they brought lots of extra spice on the side so I could dial it up myself. Dousing it definitely sacrificed some flavor and balance, but it was worth it. At full blast, it was probably the spiciest meal I've had in San Diego. We also had the samosas, which were a great complement to the meal; crispy and well seasoned. Altogether, the space is a bit dated, but the food more than makes up for it. The willingness to let the diner control the heat is a huge plus and makes this a five‑star experience.

Service is fast, and they even have a drive-thru in the back, which is super convenient. I've always dined in, and while they share space with another vegan restaurant so seating can be a bit limited, there's still usually enough. Parking is easy, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for quick, flavorful vegan food.

Non vegan reviewer here…read more The fysh tacos had a nice crunch to it but lacked salt/ fishiness taste. Majority of the flavor came from the chipotle cashew cream sauce and guac. Maybe it would taste better if they added lime slices on the side. Took about 10 minutes from ordering at counter to receiving food. Most likely wouldn't order fysh tacos again. Saw a lot of people ordering dishes with fries in it. Maybe get that instead next time. There are very few tables indoor and a few tables outdoor, recommend for small groups only.
