Northside Shack - Point Loma

★★★★★ 4.7 (1009) • $$

"Stopped here for a bowl and loved it! We had dinner reservations at an Italian place for dinner so we were looking for something light and fruit-forward for lunch. The staff (Magdalena) was super helpful and friendly. I got a combo of the three different kinds of sorbet as well as the house works in terms of toppings (fruits, granola, coconut and more). For about $17 (large size), the portion size was incredible! So much sorbet and fresh fruit that they had to put plastic wrap on top to hold everything in place -- pretty legendary in my book! I had to ask for an extra plate to catch the inevitable fruit landslide as soon as I unwrapped it! I liked how it wasn't overly sweet and the ingredients were ultra fresh too. Also got an antioxidant smoothie which was great -- lots of fresh berries, banana and açai, not too sweet either. 100% will be back next time I am in San Diego!!!"

Roots

★★★★☆ 3.9 (60)

"Another specialty dining place on campus! I'm not sure why our school makes a huge deal about being the best Vegan restaurant when the competition probably isn't very big on other campuses. Nonetheless, it's still nice to know our school is recognizing different eating habits! I've ordered: -Sunflower Fields: probably my go to dish here! $6 for a huge plate of salad that has artichoke in it! I'm always super full after this dish. -sweet potato fries: YUM! Sometimes it's a hit or miss because it might be burnt or too salty, but their dipping sauce for it (the white one especially!) is so yummy! -Kendra lama: a noodle dish! It was semi filling, but just looks presentable. It has a big piece of coconut in it that is somewhat edible? Flavor was okay- it was the five spices that most Asian dishes have. -chop chop river: this was a disappointment and not filling at all. Literally half a stock of romaine lettuce sprinkled with some fried tofu pieces and onions. Tasty, but not filling. -spicy Sierra: this was yummy! Imitation chicken drenched in BBQ sauce. It's like taco Tuesday but available everyday! -roots vegan chili: you can either get a coup or a bowl. It's pretty good! You can add green onions and tofu cream to it. -fruit tart: VEGAN DESSERT? yay! It's not bad at all! Tastes almost like a regular tart! Pros: -good service! They are nice and helpful. Smiles! -good variety! I'm surprised there is such a big bulletin of different options. -decent prices! For a specialty place, the price is great for the quality and quantity. -nice environment! Good place to study if you have no where to go! Cons: -inconsistent portions: sometimes I've gotten a Sunflower Fields salad without the artichoke, when that is the main ingredient. Also, some people are skimpy on the ingredients. Tips/observations:-sometimes they have number plates and serve you, sometimes they call your name and you pick it up at the front. Overall, highly recommend this place!"

Vaqueros Carne Asada

★★★☆☆ 3 (305)

"We've ordered from Vaqueros Carne Asada on multiple occasions (we live up the street) and our food is always, hot, delicious, and generously served. In the past we've ordered pollo asado nachos and carne asada nachos, horchata, agua de tamarindo, agua de jamaica, and today we order two plates: enchilada (beef) + chile relleno with rice and beans, and, burrito (chicken) + enchilada (cheese) with rice and beans and it was delectable! The beans are delicious and feel whipped (this reminds me of mi mama's cooking). The chile relleno has a delicious batter. Everything was very well seasoned, including the carrots we ordered on the side. Highly recommend Vaqueros!"

Parakeet Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (18)

"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 labnehChicken sausage (2/5) - although homemade, I wish there was more flavor and spices to bring a more breakfast sausage flavor"

Plumeria Vegetarian

★★★★★ 4.5 (2363) • $$

"Came by for a late brunch with my friend. There were a few people dining. Street parking is available. They have outside and inside dining. We opted for inside dining, we looked at the menu prior to this visit. Our waitress Pink took our food and drink orders. The food came out fairly quickly and it was super fresh! We had family style dining. We ordered the tangerine "chicken", satay "chicken", spicy noodles level 10 with fried tofu & "beef" and a second order of spicy noodles spice level Zero with fried tofu. The drinks we had were Sapporo and watermelon smash martini (sake base). I wish they had liquor as an option; they only serve wine, beers and sake. The satay chicken and tangerine chicken were super crispy, great flavor and came out piping hot! The satay chicken was marinated vegan chicken; it came with peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Tangerine chicken was topped off with their sweet and tangy sauce; served with steamed broccoli and white/brown rice. Our main entree were the spicy noodles with fried tofu and beef. I ordered a level 10 spicy but it was not spicy enough for me. Spicy noodle was made with wide noodles sautéed with onions, bell peppers, basil and carrots in a chili garlic sauce. My friend can't handle spice; so he ordered the spicy noodle level zero with fried tofu. The noodles, vegan beef and tofu were cooked perfectly with great amount of flavor. For dessert we split the mango over sticky rice, it was pretty darn good! The mango, the sticky rice with sweet coconut milk on topped was delicious. We both enjoyed each appetizers and entree. The staff were friendly. The restaurant was open and airy. They also have bathrooms for customers."

Sattvik Foods

★★★★☆ 4.1 (340) • $$

"Whenever I need to get away and treat myself to lunch in a quiet, calming, meditative place, I come to Sattvik Foods. It's a drive -- goodness. Especially if you are in South Bay. But worth it for a late morning or early afternoon to enjoy a lunch and read a book. I've never met the founder and chef, Kanta. I hope to one day. She draws her inspiration from African and Asian heritage in preparing the dishes, creating a lovely fusion of fresh, flavorful and filling foods. I always, always have leftovers to take for afternoon snacks. You can order online, and catering is available. It definitely seems that Sattvik is getting more and more online orders, but I always like to stay. The restaurant feels like it is in a converted warehouse. It is shotgun side, and the seating is ample and spaced. There is generally no music playing, and very few people speaking. Most come and go quickly. Be sure to check the menu of the day. It rotates. My favorite is the thali, which is a set menu with three curries, an appetizer, dessert, the soup of the day, rice and a bread. Other favorites are the rotis, samosas and the puri dishes -- the entire menu, really. Lots of street food options on the menu. I highly recommend a visit."

Sipz - Clairemont

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1710) • $$

"This is our go-to place for office lunch with my friend/coworker who is a vegetarian/occasional pescatarian. We usually get our order to go, since that helps with cutting down on time when you have a short lunchbreak. It also helps with your leftovers, since they do a great job of packaging things separately. My usual seems to be Nuts About Veggies, since I love peanut sauce (and peanut butter in general, lol). I usually choose fried tofu as a protein, since it's a little more interesting than the steamed stuff. The large mass of steamed veggies made 3 small meals, since I added a little extra as side dishes. I also added more chopped peanuts when I reheated it, to give it more crunch.I have also had the eggrolls before, and they're really good. My coworker reads to order drunken noodles, and seems to like those. It's a little pricey (3 entrees cost us almost $50), but it's high quality. And if you're paying cash, you can get a peach iced tea for free.It located right next to the 805, so you have to make a u-turn to access the shopping center if you're heading West on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. The center has several other restaurants like STP, and Ma's House."

Royal India

★★★★☆ 4.1 (513) • $$

"At Royal India you can expect to dine like, well, royalty.The location is in a corner of a shopping center in Del Mar Heights. It's nice, clean, approachable and welcoming. The decor is sort of a modern, trendy take with an obvious Indian influence. Oh and they have an indoor waterfall for good measure.Service was prompt and friendly and our server did an excellent job explaining the menu and offering suggestions when we asked for them.I think I'm going to be full for a week. We had: spicy tandoori wings, paneer naan, coconut pineapple shrimp curry, mango pineapple pineapple salmon curry and because we were already being gluttons, opted for dessert and had gulab jaman (sort of like a rice donut in syrup) and rusmalai (a cheese-based dessert with cream and cardamom, similar to cheesecake). Although all was tasty, we agreed that our favs were the wings, the paneer naan - which I could've honestly just ate for a meal by itself- and the coconut curry shrimp.Royal India also offers up a full menu of wines, beers and cocktails. When in Rome; I ordered a Taj Mahal lager and it paired perfectly with everything. High marks to the staff and chefs for a great evening out. I would 100% go back."

Meechai Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (348) • $$

"Today was the first time I remember ordering from this establishment for delivery through a third party app. Very happy with all of the flavors and it was mostly well packaged. The spring rolls in the sampler appetizer platter were lackluster but everything else in that box was delicious. The chicken and pork in the dishes were not dried out and I loved the Tom yum soup. Will try the Tom kha next time."

Corner Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (103) • $$

"Corner Thai took over the previous Thai establishment and I actually like this place better. Their menu is huge! Mainly Thai dishes with a mix of Lao, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. We came for dinner and a few days later came for lunch during 11-3pm. They also have happy hour from 3:30-6pm. Has patio seating and 6 tables inside. We've ordered:-curry puffs -mixed tempura-orange chicken-pad Thai (spice level 5)-crab fried rice (spice level 7)-Panang curry-garlic wings-beef pad see ew lunch (spice level 7)-combo drunken noodles lunch (level 7)Pad Thai and crab fried rice are always our go to when it's our first time dining. Both dishes had great flavors but too wet, almost soggy. Great crab portions. We took it home and dried it out a bit and it tasted excellent.The lunch special came with a side of soup of the day, salad, egg roll and cream cheese wonton. Great portions.Overall, Corner Thai was decent except the wings had a smell to it like freezer burn fried in oil. The flavor and texture also lacking.Spice level 7 seems to be the right mark for me giving that kick at the end where you could still taste the flavors."

Hare Krishna

★★★★☆ 4.2 (92)

"I'm so happy to see that Hare Krishna is still serving wholesome lunches after all these years. The first was was during my undergrad years in the early 2000s. Came back onto campus for a visit on a random Wednesday and stumbled upon them again! Food was just as delicious, plenty, and nutritious. It was rice with two kinds of curry like dishes filled with veggies such as cauliflower, peas, carrots, potatoes, and the blueberry masa dessert. It also comes with a drink and a small piece of peanut butter bar. All that for only $5 and you serve it yourself. I was in heaven all over again. The Food Coop place it a cool place to hang out, buy snacks and eat it there. Come Wednesdays, bring cash and an empty stomach!"

Pho Ha Noi Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (163) • $

"First, the name of the restaurant is misleading. Hanoi means north and expected some northern style menu items. Nope - all basics - only pho and bun (vermicelli noodles). Not even any rice dishes. Walking in, it looks like a typical small sit down restaurant. But it's not. You have to go up to the cashier and order/pay first, including tip?? FYI- if you come here even after reading my review, don't tip them (or tip very little) because almost everything is self serve. You have to also get your own water, utensils, and condiments. And if you buy a drink (soda cans), you have to retrieve the soda by yourself from the fridge. I probably wouldn't care so much if the food was extraordinary and/or pricing was good. Nope. The special bowl of pho is $16 and it had very little meat and tendons in it. Looked pathetic, especially since we are from LA/OC area. My vermicelli noodles with pork and egg rolls was average. The egg rolls were basically all veggies. No meat or shrimp as expected. Taste was at least average (hence the extra star). For 5 ppl, bill was $100 (added on soda and one coffee). I didn't know and gave tip. Ugh."

Greenhaus Vegetarian Eatery

★★★★★ 4.7 (106)

"Picked up two nirvana burgers and an order of the tacos with the paneer for protein. We upgraded one of the burgers to masala fries and it was a great decision. They have an easy tablet ordering system with a clear menu which makes the process very easy. The place is very casual, with a few tables inside. The food was delicious; the paneer tacos were flavorful and soft, while the chickpea burger base had a great crunch. Tip: recommend skipping the spicy sauce as a dipping sauce bc it's not needed and doesnt really add to the meal."

The PurpleMint Vegan Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (975) • $$

"My daughter went through a vegetarian/vegan stage a while back to improve her cholesterol and overall health. It worked too! So I had looked at this place for the photos and reviews on Yelp after she mentioned she wanted to go on her upcoming birthday weekend. Everything looked just fine and I was actually somewhat intrigued to find out for myself.Luckily my favorites were the wonton soup and the avocado rolls, which were the items I ordered. Excellent taste on both! I also nibbled off my kid's plate of orange chicken and the lady's kung pao and honestly the flavor and texture were very good, all the while knowing that this wasn't real chicken. That's the part that gets me. I would rather not know! The fiery shrimp appetizer was flavored well, but I was slightly let down with the rubbery texture. This did not bother anyone else..The Thai tea- a fantastic example no different than any Thai restaurant would serve! I can say now I've been to 2 vegan places and they were both worthy! You somehow do feel a little lighter or less full at a place like this. Just what my body needs, but I know I'd have a hard time keeping on a diet like this. Extra pounds would fall off quickly. I think I'll just try to move and walk more."

"My friend and I decided to come here as neither us had been here for quite a few years as we don't generally go to this area. Besides, it's a very healthy alternative and jf you are looking for a vegetarian or vegan eatery this is a good place.It was inspired by the creative and spiritual leader Sri Chimoy. His purpose was for world peace including a lot of beautiful paintings thar are well known all over the world, given to charities and for sale. If you're not familiar with him check him out.We arrived around 12:30 and it was virtually empty which was nice and quiet. This is a very small restaurant and always clean. We decided to have real cheese and not vegan with our meal and sat a nice table by the window where it was warm. My friend ordered the chips, salsa, chili and corn bread. She enjoyed it and ordered the Nirvana tea and I had a delicious pineapple, banana, mango smoothie. I enjoyed my portobello quesadilla and a mild flavorful salsa. ($18.00 for mine)We were waited by a very nice woman who gave us very good service.This restaurant opened in 1986 and at that time good luck finding anything healthy to eat.The food is simple but, I guarantee you won't get any indigestion. ; )) It's really wonderful to see a restaurant that has survived over the years and is still here.Being staffed by disciples."

Nice looking interior with exposed brick. Plenty of booths and tables. The salmon was great. Seasoned well and cooked perfectly, it was flaky and tender, if a bit small. Good sauce with a bit of heat. Came with some steamed veggies. The lemon chicken was also very good. Their menu is pretty large with plenty of vegetarian options."

"Plant based fast food restaurant with the drive thru. Evolution really looks like a hole in the wall and it haspretty sizable menu. Restaurant does not have the best appearance although the food is good. Burgers and good while Buffalo chicken fries are amazing. Carne asada fries were nothing special. Equally so was the lack of many dessert choices....Service was good - but not terribly fast. I would say Evolution is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars and rounding up for novelty approach!!!"

"My daughter recommended this establishment and now I know why.This is simple, wholesome, authentic, vegetarian, South Indian cuisine without thrills and frills.The service was friendly and was attentive when called upon. I came here for the Thali, which is an assortment of flavors and small dishes presented in tiffins in a circular manner. You can ask for refills on the small dishes but not the "breads"Delicious.So good.I loved the rasam (pepper water) and the dal and the tomato chutney.Lovely.The only question mark was that the business had a "B" grade on the window. There was no explanation and there didn't seem to be any concerns by all the patrons who were 95% Indian customers. Love it."

Taste of Thai

★★★★☆ 3.7 (905) • $$

"My colleagues and I were in SD for a conference and we certainly have a funny story of how we ended up at Taste of Thai for dinner on our first night. But... long story short, we were originally going to head to another Thai restaurant, but the one that was recommended had closed, or moved locations. Instead of getting another Uber/Lyft, we all decided to walk down University Ave to see what other restaurants were open, and could seat a party of 7 on a Wednesday night. Since it had been raining most of the day, all restaurants with patio seating were a no-go. Ultimately, we ended up at a Thai restaurant after all. We were seated rather quickly for a party of 7, and were also able to order quickly. With the "divider" in the middle of the room, it provided a sense of "privacy" from the other half of the room as well. From the website, it states that they have been serving SD since 1988, which is a long time! They have an extensive menu, and even have offerings of alcoholic beverages from different countries, beer and even hot sake.Spring RollsVegetables wrapped in a thin pastry, golden fried & served with a sweet-sour dipping sauce.Fresh Spring RollsVermicelli noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, mint & shrimp(or tofu) wrapped with rice paper & served with a special house sauce.Som TumFresh green papaya, tomato, green beans, peanuts seasoned & tossed in a sweet, salty, spicy lime juice.Yellow CurryCoconut milk, potato, carrot, green pepper & onion.Panang CurryCoconut milk, Thai basil, green beans & bell peppers (sweet & creamy curry).Spicy Noodles Fresh rice noodles, basil leaves, bell pepper, chili, garlic & egg.Pad See-iw NoodlesStir-fried fresh rice noodles with egg & broccoli.I may have mixed an entrée or two, but overall, we were all very stuffed before our final dish arrived. There were a few dishes that were meh, but majority were very flavorful and excited all of our taste buds. We were most definitely pleasantly surprised with our meal and everything tasted delicious. Prices were also very reasonable. Overall, great food and customer service and very attentive servers as well."

"What a little gem! We were looking for vegan options while staying with a friend. This was a good balance of vegan and non-vegan options that our group could all enjoy. The vegan menu was extensive (a whole page plus some items embedded within their regular menu). Hubby ordered the vegan California burrito and said it tastes every good and authentic. I ordered the vegan carne asada fajitas. The corn tortillas were very good and not cheap and It was quite decorated to look like an authentic Mexican joint with a giant piñata upon entry. There is a small lot in the back with shared parking. Service was friendly and staff was able to quickly answer questions about vegan items. The busser was also very considerate and attentive to our table. Can't wait to return!"

★★★★☆ 4.1 (623) • $$

"Tried this new quaint spot.I ordered:-Papaya Salad level 6 (perfect amount of heat. Big portion and very refreshing. It wasn't smash like it should typically be; sauce was just drenched over the papaya slivers but it was good. I really enjoyed the flavor, kind of reminded me more of pickled veggies. Next time, I will ask for it with fermented fish paste for more traditional flavor I like)-Spicy Noodles with Tofu level 6 (delicous! hit the spot and also a big portion. One of the best I have had in a while).My cousin ordered a beef curry dish level 5 which was also good (not sure type but I'd give that particular one 3.5/5).We were also given a small cup of tapioca balls in coconut milk with cantaloupe balls for dessert. It was a perfect ending and size. Service was great around dinner time. One other table was there when we arrived but it quickly filled up. Plenty of parking. I will come back to try other dishes, they seem to have options I have not seen at other Thai restaurants."

"I rarely ever use this word: PHENOMENAL!! I am literally so amazed. I have never tried Ethiopian food in my adult life and was not expecting this. Our server was very friendly. He explained a lot of things to us and made recommendations and was accommodating and really nice. The place is cozy and feels authentic. Every single item we got was good. I don't remember what anything was called but the saucy meat thing in the small plate (kind of like a stew) was my favorite. My colleagues liked the short ribs the most. We almost didn't come here but I'm so glad we did. The big plate is shared family style and eaten with hands. No utensils, just the Injera (bread, like a fluffy tortilla). Everything was so flavorful, I don't even have words to describe it. Genuinely the best food I've had in a while!Highly recommend this place for both food and service. Presentation was very nice too."

"Amazing Italian food in a mall?! WTF?Yup, I'm still shocked and amazed even after several days to process it all.The carbonara and pesto dishes crafted here invoked nostalgia of my brief time traipsing around Rome, Florence and Venice so many many years ago.Quite Honestly these dishes tasted so good to me that they should have demanded to be brought out by a waiter on real plates and be paired with house wine.This is something you'd expect to be served in a trattoria, not at a mall! My only regret is that we didn't order more food. It was THAT good to me.And judging by all of the other mall patrons I saw scattered around the food court, many would agree that the food here is delightfully amazing."

My body was screaming for veggies, so a Tree Hugger salad was the way go to - spinach, caramelized onions, pralined pecans(ok, not a veggie, but still a part of my holiday season) and dried cranberries with a balsamic dressing was (chef's kiss). Hubby wanted some pizza and there are all kinds of options here - including VEGAN! I'm not all veggie all the time but mad props to those who are, Woodstock has a pie for YOU!We went with the medium white flour, zesty red sauce with Canadian Bacon and extra REAL dairy mozzarella cheese. Very tasty!For beverages, hubby went for the bottomless soda, a craft root beer was available and yummy. I chose the cider on draft, Bivouac Marlin Spice from San Diego, and it was SO delicious, I opted for the 33oz. Oh myyyyy...!All in all, from staff at Woodstock's to Siena, the KT Quiz mistress, it was a lovely evening of delicious food and fun times. We would definitely come back for Woodstock's Pizza if we find ourselves visiting this neck of the woods again. Cheers!CC"

I was so thrilled to have stumbled upon this place!I wanted to do the Thai bowl, it sounded amazing but I wasn't in the mood for a cold dish, so I decided to go with the Baja bro bowl. I wasn't sure what the concept was preparing the food. They have a huge bowl and mixed together all the ingredients! There was fresh white chicken chunks, basmati rice, cilantro, black beans, fresh salsa, jalapenos, and a lime squeeze and dressing mixed all together. I was happily satisfied that it lived up to my expectations! Even more so! The flavor was great, the portion size was really good, everything was so fresh, and the gal behind the counter was so friendly and nice! They were offering free soup, but that would have been messy on the train so I just got my chicken and rice bowl and left. It is amazing! I will have to see if there is one in Long Beach. But I always come down to San Diego by train and since it's right across the train station I know where I'm going to be stopping in for lunches and dinners when I come into town!"

"So the set up of this restaurant was far superior to San Idli. You can actually purchase packaged snacks and even sweets to go. There aren't random unpacked boxes lying around. The ambiance is slightly more put together with Bollywood music playing loudly on the flat screen TV. The menu is organized and plentiful. We ordered way too much food m, but it was a great opportunity to try different dishes since there were so many of us eating. My favorites were the Chana bhatura, Bhel puri, and pav bhaji. I think the pani puri tasted stale. So I wasn't impressed with that dish at all. The turn around time from when we ordered the receiving our food was fast. And the staff was very friendly. One thing I would recommend is heating up the Galab Jamun before serving.But, other than that we had a fabulous time. Oh! And I almost forgot the gobi Manchurian comes out on a sizzling skillet (like fajitas)!"

"For a few years now I have lived down the street from Woodstock's and I have made my way in a few times over those years. While I had heard mixed reviews from a few "pizza purists" I don't consider myself to be anything close to that and I'm simply a pizza fan. If it's good, I like it.So... what's the verdict? It's good! It's different, but it's a tasty pizza!I think Woodstocks pie is somewhere in the same league as a Round Table with the dough thickness and the quality toppings, which is leaps and bounds ahead of the big box pies like Domino's or Papa John's.Let me ask you this though, have you tried the slice, soda, and salad lunch special? How about the all-you-can-eat slices lunch special? Yep, both are totally delicious and only cost you a few bucks (maybe $10-$12?) from 11am - 3pm, Monday through Friday. Don't sleep on that Greek salad either, it's wonderful!"

A pound of food. It was really good. I would probably add cheese next time around. Quesadilla was good as well, but obviously, way too much food to eat both. There's minimal seating inside and outside. Good place for take out. Food definitely takes some time to come out.Street parking only."
