    I found this wonderful Café ftom Google Maps, I wanted to find somewhere to wait for my friend's Appointment... Menú has a large selection of Breakfast, Lunch items as well as healthy items. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with an Americano

    Wow. Drinks: Amazing tonic selection. Or champs in a bottle, or cold pressed coconut water... or a super fresh and yummy Latte! What's not to love? Food: Delicious, fresh (and nutrient dense!!). So many options whether you want sweet or savory. I've tried so many dishes at a few different locations and I'm never disappointed. Service: always cheery and helpful. Decor: bright and uplifting. Love this place. This particular location is in an office park and can be a little tricky to spot. Just head inside of the "office building" for a nice surprise.

    Parakeet Cafe offers delicious healthy food with a cute outdoor patio to enjoy the meal. Charcoal Waffle (5/5) - the coconut cream and date syrup were fantastic with the Belgian waffle. This dish was perfect to share with friends. Power Bowl (4/5) - filling bowl with well-cooked vegetables which paired great with the spicy labneh Chicken sausage (2/5) - although homemade, I wish there was more flavor and spices to bring a more breakfast sausage flavor

    Lavender matcha latte

    Parakeet is such a great place to get your daily coffee, tea, and pastry fix! The beans they use for their espresso are really flavorful and balanced. They also have a fairly extensive food menu with options that sometimes get changed out, which helps keep lunches interesting. Plenty of tables and seating with a super cute garden in the patio area outside. Roderick and Zinna always go above and beyond to provide great service and great conversation!

    Yuuummmm! Love these cucumber chips! And so healthy!! Yay!

    Yummmmm! Love these cucumber chips! So good! and so healthy! Service is great! All the smiles made my day haha and ambiance is so chill, perfect for working remotely! About to try the chicken Caesar wrap! Excited!

    PARAKEET!!! I love this place so much. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Very kind and inviting service. The menu is pricey, but everything is definitely worth your money. Delicious coffee, breakfast, and lunch. I love the garden and ambiance, great setting as well.

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!

When we first arrived, we noticed it had the same artsy, loft vibe & decor as the one in Las Vegas. At first glance it seemed like it had a small interior but then we noticed the stairs to get to a lower level to the left of us. This led to a very spacious room! Love the decor and the layout. There's more seating outdoors, which we attempted but it had too cold of a breeze so we decided to sit indoors. We were greeted warmly by a nice young man at the counter. My hubby told him we had eaten at the FC in Las Vegas and he told us he was going to train as a manager in Las Vegas. I ordered the Chicken Yakisoba Bowl and hubby ordered the Chicken Entree with brown rice and sweet potato fries with dip. We easily found a table in the lower level as there was hardly anybody down there. But, as the time progressed it became full with young soccer players and their respective families. Apparently, the soccer games ended in the nearby fields & they all descended upon FC. Our food came out quickly. I savored my Chicken Yakisoba Bowl chock full of crispy vegetables and flavorful chicken. It was huge so I had to take leftovers to go. My hubby loved his meal, too. We look forward to returning here where they serve delicious, healthy offerings and friendly customer service.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Awesome all-vegan Vietnamese restaurant…read more We came for lunch on the recommendation of some knowledgeable vegan friends. Located in a nondescript strip mall in San Diego's little Saigon area--an industrial area in transition--it turned out to be very good indeed. The interior was clean and bright, with an appealing modern decor. The all-vegan menu was Pan Asian, with emphasis on Vietnamese dishes. I got the wonton noodle soup and hubby got the "beef" pho soup, both very good and satisfying. The service was very friendly and prompt, and the prices were reasonable. Would love to come back and try some other dishes.

I guess…read morethey moved locations.. they are now off El Cajon Blvd. This is probably the best Asian vegan/vegetarian place I've been to so far in San Diego. The service was great! Our server was very helpful in suggesting what to order, since it was my first time there (second time for my friend, but the last time she was here was years ago, at the previous location) Everything we ordered was pretty amazing. The jackfruit salad was very refreshing and different from the normal jackfruit I am use to. The mix of flavors were very good. I liked that it was served with the sesame rice cracker, it brought out the flavors of the salad! The "fish" actually tasted liked fish.. not sure how they did that, but it was very good. The dill was a great add to the dish! The Buddha's delight drink was beautiful and extremely tasty! Definitely will come back when craving vegetarian food!

    Here for work from NJ and bookmarked this place for the plethora of vegetarian options…read more A friend and I were the first ones in and after deciding on a few dishes to try, the friendly staff were more happy to answer questions. Firstly- the portions are huge! Salt and Pepper Tofu - Crispy chunks of tofu and broccoli with lots of flavor. This is a dry dish so the tofu stays crispy all through. Mongolian Crispy "Beef" - Amazing umami flavor. I got halfway through eating top to bottom before I realized the crispy short rice noodles were at the bottom! Advice: Mix it as you get it before eating. As we were finishing what we could of the meal we could smell fresh baked goods. I went to get a box for leftovers from the back counter and saw trays of fresh baked cookies on the counter. Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and the one that had my attention- Funfetti with an Oreo in the middle! When I asked if they had any ready up front they insisted I have one of the hot fresh ones out the oven! No pic of the cookie, it didn't make it far! Wish we had places like this near me in NJ.

The noodles were clumpy and also thinner than the rice noodles I expect with pad Thai. There also were no vegetables unless you paid extra for broccoli. So basically, awesome veggie beef... and noodle noodles that were not so appetizing. Plus onions. And they're great for flavor, but not the vegetable I want to be devouring by itself! I love sipz and there are plenty of other dishes to get here instead. I also got the sticky mango with rice dessert which was delicious as always. And very large! Looking forward to ordering something different next time.

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!
