    Happy hour menu
    Ann H.

    My husband and I came here when they had happy hours so we each had a glass of wine, the crispy rolls and chicken wings in addition to our pad see ew and peanut butter chicken. We sat at the bar so the bar tender served us. She was attentive and checked in with us often. The restaurant itself is cute and has nice decor. The food was pretty good so fair chance that you'll see us here again

    I love finding new Thai food spots! And the story of coming here is funny (kinda ) my husband and I were argueing about what to eat for lunch and and everywhere we were driving by was closed for Easter so we're were like F*** it,let's go home. So I just closed my eyes and took a nap and when we parked I opened my eyes to see we were here. My hubby know how to cheer me up! And omg it was so good! There was ample parking. The resturaunt is next to a pho place and a nail salon. The resturaunt was nice,roomy,and clean. The staff was very nice and attentive. I can't wait to go back to try more menu items!

    I was in the area and wanted to check them out again, since I enjoyed the food the last time. Sadly this visit wasn't very good. The restaurant was practically empty and when I arrived it took awhile to get seated. I was able to use the restroom and still ended up waiting before someone came out of the back to seat me. Once my food arrived, let's just say I didn't see the server again for almost 30 minutes. I actually had to flag down one of the cooks who I think was going on their break to get the server just so I can pay. Again, there were maybe 1 or 2 other tables eating, but to be completely ignored was ridiculous. I get during slow times to have maybe 1 server, but at least have a server willing to work. Based on this last experience I'd rather check out other places that value their customers.

    The tea at the bottom was the most outstanding tea I've ever had in my life.

    Previously I had always given my meals from Thai One On a five star rating but yesterday (5/8/26) I noted a decline in the quality of the sauce in the yellow curry with tofu dish. The sauce was actually quite watery. It's usually thick and rich or thicker and richer. The restaurant is always cute and welcoming and the service is always friendly and fast. I got my dinner to go, but I'm a little concerned about the sauce recipe changing maybe for cost cut backs or is this just a fluke?

    Pad Thai tofu
    Luz V.

    Sorry!!! but I don't recommend the pad Thai tofu! Was very disappointed with the all plate version of pad Thai tofu here!

    The perfect Old Fashion - thanx to Bill!
    Jeff G.

    I am a regular at this fine restaurant - and very particular about how I like my Old Fashion made and the specific Rye whiskey. During a recent visit - the bartender apologized and said they had run out of my favorite brand. This made me sad. :-( - But only for a brief moment... The owner, Bill, overheard the conversation and immediately set off on foot to a nearby store and quickly returned with a bottle of my favorite brand. WOW!! Crisis obverted! How often do you hear about someone caring so much about their customers that they would do that to make them happy. Hats off to Bill and his wonderful staff. (...and the drink was great!)

    Rice plate
    Jennifer L.

    I'm so disappointed at this place. I order a rice plate with meat and veggies. This looked disgusting. Looks like they served me leftovers with no meat at all and very little veggies. I don't know who is in the kitchen but they need to make this right. I paid 22 dlls for left over rice with no flavor. So sad. I wouldn't recommend coming to this place at all.

    I do like this place is pretty close to where I live and they have a pretty good selection of food. I usually come here during the evening or on the weekend and it's my go-to Thai place in Vista. Parking is pretty empty so there's no problem finding parking here. People here are really nice and it's never that crowded when coming here. The place itself is pretty big and spacious and I never had to wait for a long time to get my seat or for my food. I do like a lot of their food as I have been here many times. My go-to would be the Kua Kai Noodles, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, or Thai Fried Rice. I will say their spice level can be a hit or miss where there are times that I get 8 but it's not spicy but 7 is super spicy. But overall, the food here is pretty good and it'll continue to be my go-to place to eat in Vista!

    If you like your tiki bars low-key, The Lobby Tiki Bar & Grill has got you covered…read more If that sounds like a negative, it's not. In this case, "low-key" refers to a tiki bar that is not over-the-top; one that doesn't cause you to enter into an entirely different reality. There's a time and place for that sort of tiki bar but in a small coastal town perhaps you don't want or need to enter a fourth dimension. The Lobby is small (though larger than I'd anticipated), not noticeably dark (like many in the genre), and outfitted with a nice array of tiki-themed tchotchkes. Scooby Doo, playing silently on a small tv above the bar, is a perfect accompaniment to the pleasing decor. I both ate and drank here and found nothing not to enjoy. Tiki bars generally elicit happiness in me and this one, with its excellent server, did not change that mindset. An Astro Chimp ($14) was my tiki drink of choice, mostly because I was interested in trying a cocktail featuring cold brew. Very good, and it did not keep me up all night. Fish & Chips ($23) was a sizable and satisfying portion, plenty there to be shared by two. "Brussels" ($11), were also quite good and ample. You will not go hungry if you choose to dine here. The Lobby is a fun choice for your time in Oceanside. Stylish and satisfying on every front, I'd happily return. Other stuff: * There is apparently a stairway-accessible rooftop deck here but it was closed for a private event during my visit. If open, definitely worth checking out. * 5% surcharge is automatically added to everything you spend here.

He sadly passed away recently and his memorial is this weekend, so we tried to go to Lost Inferno to celebrate him with all his high school and college friends. We called in advance and the person we spoke to said we couldn't make a reservation unless we could guarantee 20 people, but we could walk in with a smaller group no problem. Of course we got there right when they opened and they told us they couldn't seat us for an hour. We joined the wait list and walked to a bar a couple doors down waiting for the text that our table was ready. We received a text that our table would be ready at a specific time and then 2 minutes before our table was supposed to be ready we get a text saying we were removed from the wait list with no clarification or follow up. I understand being busy/booked up, but I would have liked to have received accurate information. We could have made reservations online if we had been told. I wore his favorite Goonies Hawaiian shirt and everything expecting to have a nice time talking about my husband. I guess I'm glad we never had the opportunity to experience this level of service with my husband, and guess I won't be back seeing that he's dead and all. Edited to add tips - don't believe anything they tell you on the phone and if you really want to go, make a reservation, and apparently they will close for you if you can guarantee 20 people.

They pay attention to details which is why you feel like you're in a Hawaiian cave somewhere or in the Hawaii episode of the Brady Bunch . We tried a number of their signature recipes. I started off with "Boozin Susan's World Famous Chi Chi". It's a frozen vodka cocktail that tastes like vacation. The vodka is complemented with pineapple, coconut, lime, Demerara syrup and cinnamon. It was a perfect recipe when you think about tiki. (Pic 2) We also tried "Hella Missionary" which is another frozen cocktail with tequila, mezcal, adobo-spiced honey, pineapple, lime and mint. It's the blended mint that makes it green. It was quite tasty with a very fun crazy straw. (Pic 4). We had some bonus fun with a signature shot called "OJ Did It". It was a delicious add to the vibe with vodka, liquor 43, coconut and orange juice. (Pic 7). I couldn't remember what pic 6 is but it was tasty. Maybe it's "OOO-BAE I Love You So". It starts with rhum agricole, salted cream, pineapple, cinnamon, macadamia nut and toasted coconut flakes. I could be totally wrong so oh well. The Grass Skirt is always a great idea if you're in the PB area when in San Diego. Go check them out. Salute @thejohnnycocktail

Our hostess was really nice and let us sit although a couple of our party members were running late. On that note - reservations for a table are quite hard to get here. My friend just happened to see one pop up on OpenTable and immediately grabbed it. If you don't have a reservation, it's standing room only.  After walking through a cavern of glowing skulls, you emerge into a lively Tiki atmosphere. Colorful glass baubles hang from the ceiling suspended by a rope netting while Tiki effigies stare at you from the walls. There's even a small waterfall in the back corner. The atmosphere inside is lively and busy. The floor is packed with standing patrons chatting about. Lucky for us, we got to sit at one of the few tables they had available. Every once few minutes, the ceiling thunders because one of the groups orders a punch bowl, complete with sound effects and pyrotechnics. My favorite drink of the night was the Mac Nut Chi Chi. It was sweet and creamy, which contrasted very nicely with the salted macadamia nut. I liked it so much, I even asked for the recipe. Another drink I enjoyed was the Saturn, which is a classic Tiki drink. In comparison to the other drinks of the night, this one felt a bit more posh. It was served up and simple and elegant in its presentation. On the nose, it was very refreshing and citrusy, and on the palate, it was light and refreshing with floral notes. I also enjoyed the Reserve Mai Tai, which was quite strong. I can definitely see why it's so hard to get a table at False Idol. I had an amazing time and would totally come back.

You actually enter through the mouth of a whale, which immediately sets the tone. The decor and theming are really well done, with plenty of unique details that make the space feel immersive. The atmosphere is more intimate and private compared to the main tiki bar, which makes it a nice change of pace. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. The drinks were definitely the highlight. I had the Farewell Jimmy, Smoke the Monster Out, and Geppetto's Last Words--all three were great. Smooth, tropical, flavorful, and definitely potent. Service was okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, The Belly of the Beast is a cool place to check out if you enjoy themed bars and unique experiences. For me, it's probably more of a one-time experience rather than somewhere I'd regularly return to. Still, the creativity, decor, and cocktails make it worth experiencing at least once.

I had one of the best Old Fashioneds I have had, super smooth with a hint of coconut. I also brought home a breakfast burrito and loco moco for dnner. My son really liked the burrito, it was packed with neat and eggs all tucked in a warm tortilla. The loco moco YUM!!!! Even reheated it was delicious, perfectly cooked egg over a bed of rice, juicy patty all smothered in a rich brown gravy. I also grabbed a few chocolate cookies, they tasted like crispy brownies and were huge. They have live music and the decor inside out outside is fun, staff is welcoming and super nice. Plenty of seating inside, outside and even a side patio. Have to make it out again for the live music and happy hour. Close to the freeway too!

    7/10 overall! CocoCabana is definitely giving cute rooftop brunch spot. We went on a Sunday right…read morewhen they opened at 11 AM, and it was actually really nice and chill not crowded at all. The rooftop has such a pretty aesthetic with the umbrellas, decor, bar, and plenty of shaded seating. The view was nice, too! The Bananarama drinks were 10/10. They're non-alcoholic, super yummy, and SO cute. Honestly, I'd go back just for those. My breakfast sandwich with the potatoes was also really good solid 7/10. My mom got the butterscotch donuts and said they were to die for A few things could be better: the paper menus looked pretty worn compared to the cute menus I'd seen online, and some of the outdoor pillows definitely looked like they needed a wash/replacement. I also noticed that some of the food I saw people raving about on Yelp is from an older menu, so definitely check the current menu before getting your heart set on something. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to experience CocoCabana. Cute atmosphere, chill Sunday morning, good food, and those Bananaramas were bomb!

    This place kind of feels like a group of girls were sitting at a bar one night and decided how cool…read moreit would be to open their own place. And honestly, that would be cool if the flow was there, but you can kind of tell that all the ideas aren't fully there yet. For starters, the drinks are expensive, which I get because you're in Oceanside by the beach and I'm sure rent isn't cheap. But man, I paid $18 for a coffee-style cocktail and it was pretty bad. They put this whipped cream on top that just didn't work with the drink and was actually pretty nasty. They definitely put alcohol in it, which was good I guess, but overall it was probably one of the worst cocktails I've had in a while. My wife and I also walked up to the bar and waited to be attended. One of the waitresses was busy cleaning and organizing things, going back and forth from inside to outside, while another waitress was socializing with a group of guys for probably 6-7 minutes before noticing us standing at the front of the bar. I really don't mind waiting, but when you combine that with the quality of the drinks and the lack of attention, it just makes it seem like no one really cares that much. That's kind of why I made the comment in the beginning. The place has a cool idea behind it, but you can tell it's missing some of the professionalism and attention to detail that comes with running a good bar. The one thing that really saves this place is the view. It's a really nice view, and during sunset I can definitely see why people come here. Other than that though, I personally wouldn't spend my money here again.
