Our server was very bubbly and friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Service was a bit slow since she said it was just her and their cook in the kitchen, which was a little surprising given that we went on a Saturday evening. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Both the chicken satay and the grilled pork we ordered were pretty dry. The tom kha soup was tasty, but only had mostly mushrooms, a huge sprinkling of green onions, and a very few shrimp.

So I keep trying new spots hoping one finally hits. I'd driven past Urban Teri Kitchen a bunch of times taking my kids to practices and games and finally decided to stop in. Didn't even check Yelp first. Just went in blind based on a good feeling about the place. Glad I did. I ordered the half-and-half with chicken teriyaki and katsu, and honestly it was one of the better teriyaki plates I've had anywhere around here. The chicken was flavorful, the katsu was crispy without being greasy, and everything tasted fresh. It's a little pricier than some teriyaki spots, but the quality backs it up. My wife and I could easily split one order next time. I came in around 4 PM, so it wasn't packed, but the people inside looked happy, the restaurant was clean, and the whole place just had a really good vibe. Sometimes you can tell within a minute whether a place cares about what they're doing, and this felt like one of those spots. There's a reason they've got 4.7 stars. If anything, I'd say that rating is deserved.

As much as I love Mongolian BBQ, having had it regularly ever since going to college up at UCLA, I…read moream being forced to face the glaring reality that Great Khan's isn't all that good. I've been here five times in the last two years or so. And three of those times I've had the misfortune of biting down on a bit of dirt, bone, or something else that made me think that I had just chipped a tooth. It's a jarring experience, that I usually chalk up as an expected hazard when eating anything from carved off an animal or grown in the ground. But, when going out for a salad, you should only expect a rock hidden in your lettuce once every five years or so ... not half of all trips. Also, the bowls seem to have gotten smaller, while the costs have increased. It used to be you could fill your bowl with slices of frozen meat, ready to plop noodles on top. But, now they give you much smaller starting cups where you put 4-5 slices in before they start threatening to spill out. It makes the finished product skew much more heavily toward the starch of those noodles instead of the salty beef and pork that should be the center, or at least an equal share, of the dish. And speaking of those noodles, the last couple of times I've been here, there has been an underlying flavor to them that has been off-putting. I don't know if they've changed recipes or vendors recently, or if my palette is changing, but that stale, medicine-like, chemical, whatever you want to call it, taste that they seem to have now comes to the forefront of every bite I take. And without that proper amount of meat, or without an overwhelming amount of hot sauce or seasoning, that off-putting flavor can become very dominant overall. Sadly, there's not a lot of options when it comes to this style of cuisine. Typically, if you get a bowl of noodles and meat, it's gonna have some kind of tomato sauce on it, not the stir fry you're hoping for. The food here used to be a nice delight, but lately it's drifting more into a hit and miss kind of place. And with Great Khan's being so far flung from home, it's quickly becoming not worth the trip.

I still wanted to give it a try because I'm searching for a great Chinese food spot here in Oceanside, but unfortunately, I don't think this is the one. The egg foo young was a bit too spongy for my taste, although the gravy was flavorful. The hot and sour soup leaned too heavily on the vinegar, making it much too sour. The teriyaki chicken portions were carefully measured rather than generous, but the fried rice was actually the highlight of the meal. Maybe I came in expecting that classic '90s Chinese takeout experience where your to-go container is overflowing with food. This wasn't that. The restaurant has an old-school neighborhood lunch counter vibe, but it doesn't quite capture the energy or flavor of a true Chinatown-style Chinese restaurant. I'll probably come back for the spare ribs, but for now, I'm still on the hunt for my go-to Chinese food spot in Oceanside.

Located right next to the Home Depot off College and Vista Wy, they have been providing bountiful and delicious meals for many years.

The quick service at their serving counter does not provide a lot of elegance but it gets the good food out to the customer steaming hot. In addition to getting something from the buffet presentation, you can order custom made to order meals at the counter. Make sure you get an Egg Roll with your meal, yummy!

Cafe de Thai & Sushi is a small business that is located just north of Oceanside Blvd & College Blvd in the inland of Oceanside California. What I can appreciate about this restaurant is that it is in a convenient location that is easy to get to & has plenty of parking in the surrounding shared lots. There's plenty of space for family & group seating inside. The ambiance was soothing and dimly lit with a vibe of Asian flair , but it doesn't feel boujie. The service was excellent and very attentive. My meals were tasty and I felt that the prices, although on the higher side, matched the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Overall, I really liked my experience here at Cafe de Thai & Sushi and I recommend it if in the area.

They are located just off of Santa Fe Ave. in a small shopping strip. The interior is very simple, with very little decor. It is also very small and only allows for about 25 customers seating. Although there is booth seating for groups of four, this place is best for solo or date-dining. The service here is fast, friendly and very welcoming. This is because it is owned by a husband, wife and son; so there is a very personal touch when it comes to customer service. I've come here twice and so far I really love the no. 46 pork vermicelli noodles, their egg rolls, spring rolls, and their combination phô soup. It is important to note that there is pork in their eggrolls and I love how crispy they are. All of the meats in my meals were delicious! Their menu is priced very affordably with the majority of the items costing under $15. They appear to be very popular for delivery service services, such as DoorDash and Uber eats. There were also many people who did pick-up. Although I could wish for more ambience inside with some music, I can appreciate that there's ample parking in their shared lot and they have a clean bathroom. If you happen to be in Vista and want to support a small, family-owned business that serves delicious Vietnamese cuisine, I highly recommend Tasty Phô.
