Asian fusion restaurant
I surprisedly found this place while dropping off my Amazon package next door.It is a little Filipino fusion restaurant with plenty of options.I was really happy with my food, I ordered dynamite crawfish ( which is not even their most popular bowl) but it came out to be so good and really hits the spot! Besides the food quality, I also enjoyed the portions which is not super big but pretty filling after all !! So happy that I found this secret gem. I will definitely come back to try out their chicken adobo bowl cuz it just looks so good!!
Iâm so happy with this meal! The store is at Carmel Mountain Plaza, nice spot! Itâs very cute inside, feels very artistic and cozy.I ordered a crawfish bowl, Dynamite sweet potato fries and a bottle of apple juice.I never had a bowl like that and it is soooooo delicious, surprisingly the crawfish goes so well with rice with their sauce, which I tasted eel sauce and some mayo.I highly recommend this.The Dynamite sweet potato fries is also a must have, the sweet potatoes are fried perfectly and the sauce is delicious.I definitely highly recommend this place.Plus their service is very friendly.
Lunch during the workday.It can be such a welcome respite from the madness. Before I transitioned into retirement it was about way more than just grabbing a bite to eat for me.When properly observed it was a time to recharge and prepare for the unknown challenges coming my way before I could eventually leave for home. If I had @oiasianfusion available to me back in those days I know that I would have loved coming here to seek lunch time refuge. The first thing you notice about their Pilipino/Japanese fusion is the smell. Somehow the scent wafts over to your table even before your meal arrives. Couple that smell with the visual presentation and your anticipation really kicks in. Rice bowls are their speciality and we sampled their âDobo Bowlâ (the pork had great flavor, the soft boiled egg was a great compliment, and this meal would have been complete if all it featured were the gravy and rice) and their âKaraage Rice Bowlâ (the rice was best described as buttery and the Japanese fried chicken was crunchy, delicious, and had great texture). We also sampled the âPork Bunâ (which benefited magnificently from the flavors of the cucumber slices, of all things, and the bun was best described as resembling sweet bread). I also really enjoyed the great lunch hour blend of music they were playing (âNu Flavorâ and âAz Yetâ) and attempting to label it. I felt pretty good with my initial label of âboy bandâ themedâŚuntil songs by Mary J.Bilge and âTotalâ came on.I eventually settled on âharmonizing vocalsâ for my musical label for our visit. We found the service to be super friendly and welcoming.Their Vegan options are limited, but with a few subtractions during the ordering process youâll be fine (if that happens to be your preference). And thatâsâŚHenryâs Take. #sandiegoasianfusion #riceislife
