I like that this place uses the Yelp waitlist because I put my name down as we were on our way over and arrived just in time. We were seated quickly on a Saturday evening around 6 pm. There are a good amount of tables inside. They also had some TVs showing baseball games around. The service was amazing here. It felt like the waiters and waitresses were constantly eyeing our table to see if we needed anything or were ready to order more. They refilled our water carafe before it was completely empty, changed our grills before we asked, and took away empty plates as soon as we cleared them. I also appreciated that they put salt or something on the ground so it wasn't too slippery. The only complaint I had about the place was that it was really hot but I could see the waitresses were also really hot as they fanned themselves walking around. The food were was actually pretty solid for an ayce restaurant. We got the deluxe plan which is the cheaper option for $30.99. The brisket came with some salt and pepper on it and looked like a better cut than I've seen at other places. We also got some kalbi which came without the bone which is so nice because we didn't have to cut it off and have little meat left over. My husband and I also really liked the marinated steak. I typically like non marinated meat better but the steak was tender and the marinade wasn't too sweet. I used the salt to help cut the sweetness and wrapped it in a lettuce with some radish. I really liked all the meats we tried here. They also have really good sides here that you can't get anymore at a lot of kbbq places like the steamed egg or corn cheese plate. All of the food options were so good and I left very stuffed. I would definitely recommend then kbbq ayce restaurant to anyone in the area!

If you're looking for tasty food, great service, and lots of variety, Sonu BBQ is definitely worth a visit!

They truly have the best katsu curry. It'd be icing on the cake if the curry included carrots and potatoes. The Tempura Combo was like a sampler plate with all the other things we wanted - tempura, gyoza, chicken teriyaki, and yakisoba. We enjoyed dining outside today since we brought our pup along. There's never a long wait. Staff is efficient; clearing off tables, bringing additional condiments, napkins, and utensils. It's always service with a smile. This spot is on the west corner of the Mission Square shopping center. Easy to get to; off the 5 and one block west.

Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

I love the font used on the sign, as well as how clean and thoughtfully formatted the menus are. It may seem like a small detail, but the entire aesthetic is polished and cohesive, even the booths coordinate with the menus. The staff is always incredibly kind and friendly. I also love the complimentary wonton chips with sweet-and-sour sauce they bring to the table, or the soup they offer depending on when you visit. The food is consistently hot, fresh, crispy, and delicious. The Beijing beef is one of my favorites, especially because they're happy to turn up the heat for me. Service is always quick, making this a perfect lunch spot when you're short on time. Their takeout is equally impressive. Everything is packaged so well that the food arrives home just as hot and fresh as it would if you were dining in.

As soon as you enter it gives Tulum/sexy vibes which is perfect for a date night or an evening with the girls. I didn't have a single drink or meal on the menu that I didn't like.

Our server was also an angel and helped us decide what to order and was very attentive to our table! Another bonus to add to the vibes is the DJs that play each night. I had my reservation on a Thursday night and unfortunately had to cut my night short for the work day but I could have stayed all night long dancing! I can't wait to come back already

They do also sell all kind of snacks with the restaurant as well as having a separate place for the claw machines for prices!! The restaurant itself is not big, lots of 2 and 4 tops with one big booth in the corner for larger group of guests. This is our must go places annually and love that their broth is not as greasy as other we had tried in Goleta or Las Vegas ramen shop. A definite 5 star place

We also ordered the Kyoto Mule, but the ice was already watered down and the drink came without a straw. Ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce had to be requested, which felt odd for a sushi restaurant. The saba wasn't for me personally, although it did seem properly prepared. The cut rolls were also sliced into such massive pieces that they were genuinely difficult to eat in one bite. I do want to give credit to our server, Liam. He was nice and I appreciated him, but I do think he could have been a little more involved in guiding the experience, especially with a menu like this where some of the items may need a bit more explanation. On top of everything, the restaurant was extremely warm and the air conditioning seemed basically nonexistent. There are some good ideas here, but the overall experience lacked attention to detail. For the price point, I expected much better. They could definitely do better.

But I definitely have learned that there are "levels" to quality. So... with the weather shift; I knew tonight was the night to try Thai Table. I went with the Pineapple Fried Rice, with extra chicken. And... I marked to avoid onions, but acknowledged that if it isn't possible to order it without onions, I would pick them out. What I received was a HUGE portion. Like... woah. The depth in flavor of the chicken, and the extra chicken haha, it was so complex and light but flavorful. Wouldn't you know it... they made the order without onions. Ahhhhhh... I just feel seen and heard and so appreciative. I only wish I knew about Thai Table sooner! Without question... this is the BEST Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken, I have ever had. And that includes the UK, Canada, NYC, Seattle, Denver, Vancouver... Thank you for your care and commitment to quality. I won't ever stop telling people about your food! Excited to try so many more dishes! *the no onion thing... ya... that's trust for life!
