The half price apps from 4-6 are where it's at. They're super affordable. Been here 3 times and it's just great every time. Plus they have NA Asahi. The Sweet & Sour Calamari. Damn. It's probably the best calamari AND sweet & sour sauce I've ever had. I'm picky about that sauce too. Like really it's that good. I hope this place actually sticks around because it's so good. Everyone who works here is super good at what they do too. Super nice people. Oh, and ocean views.

Warning: they no longer have sushi or any raw fish.

I had my family in town and really hyped up their sushi as it was so fresh previously, I was so embarrassed when they brought out the dining equivalent to chicken nuggets. The prices are absolutely asinine, my family is already skeptical of CA prices and I was hoping to show them that sometimes they're worth it but instead this just reinforced the stereotype of paying $20 for prepackaged food. 2 stars because our waitress was super nice and gave us a free dessert. She was really apologetic as well. I hope they can turn it around, it's such a beautiful location, I'd hate to see it go to waste on such poor food.

The fried chicken bowl was loaded--crispy, juicy pieces drizzled with a rich savory glaze and sesame, sitting on fresh greens with corn and veggies. Balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. We also grabbed a basket with waffle fries and potstickers on the side--perfectly crispy and great for sharing. The sauces (kimchi, house sauce, and chili oil) added a nice punch to everything. The place itself is neat, casual, and welcoming, and the service was friendly and quick. What really stood out was the great price-to-value--generous portions and quality food without breaking the bank. Great food, great service, great value, and a laid-back vibe. Definitely worth the stop if you're around Imperial Beach.

Smoked to perfection, full of flavor and tender as can be. The broth was very flavorful and I didn't need any thing extra. Wifey had the Vermicelli Salad with Shrimp and she loved it. My niece had the yellow curry and she loved it. The server was really nice just busy, but she was very friendly. Small place with about 12 tables so it can get busy real fast but there is cool music playing in the background to how the time pass. I promise you that you will not be disappointed!!

Call it a pho phase or a full-blown pho binge. We've been making more intentional pho stops lately,…read moreparticularly at places that emphasize cleaner broths due to my husband's MSG sensitivity. Lua Eatery feels like a hidden gem and a special find. What makes their bowl stand out is that the herbs and condiments are already incorporated into the soup, creating a cohesive flavor experience from the first sip. The broth itself is quite tasty with a subtle smoky BBQ note that complements the traditional savory base beautifully. Despite being rich and deeply satisfying, it's not greasy or oily, which makes it feel indulgent yet balanced. Definitely a place we'll be returning to. And as as a bonus, the Dana Point Strand Beach is close by and a great spot to enjoy a post-lunch walk!

Met up for lunch for a belated birthday lunch celebration for our brother. It was our first time…read moremeeting up for the New Year (January), and birthday boy chose Mongol House. It was a little hard to find the restaurant, especially since the sign is not right over the entrance, but just next to it where the small market is. Look for the Winchester Center sign next to the market. Since we arrived before it opened on a Sunday, we browsed in the market until it was tine to eat. We had a reservation for 6 of us, so they seated us at the one round table near the front. There is another longer table next to it on the left side where there's a colorful mural. The rest of the tables are booths. The restaurant is spacious and roomy and very clean. You can order items from the menu or build your own hot pot which is AYCE. Everyone in our party chose the hot pot. We were each brought a small blue pot that contained the sterno to heat up the soup and the broth of our choice inside. We also placed our meat order with our server. We went to the back-left corner to grab our veggies, and some other things to add to our hot pot. Our server came by often to take more meat orders, clear empty plates, and check if we needed more broth or if our sterno needed more fuel. Our server was delightfully cheerful and friendly. She was helpful and answered all of our questions, especially when we had to choose our broths. (Forgive me for forgetting your name!) I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if you have a larger party. Accessibility notes: most of the tables are padded booths. If you can transfer and slide, you should be okay. Otherwise, see if you can sit at a table that has chairs on the left side. The restaurant is spacious enough to park your mobility aid (or stroller for babies) near you. The restrooms are located in the back-left corner, 2 single stall restrooms, one for men and one for women. There is enough room for someone to enter with their mobility aid and a helper companion. You can enter the restaurant without climbing a step, but I don't recall where the handicap accessible parking was since we used a regular parking space and I climbed up the curb. No one from the family is local, but my brother-in-law chose this restaurant because it's somewhere where we can meet in the middle. We all loved it, and are adding it to our rotation when we need to come together for a celebration.

A solid spot in Del Mar, especially if you're looking for a nice place to dine and catch up with someone special.
