We enjoyed the food.
I have celiac and I’m trying have less sugar. The prices are high but I should expect that for such a specific type of food.
I felt like the baller bread was my favorite.
We had a few donuts and the peanut butter cup.
I’d love for them to work more with monk fruit or stevia rather than erythritol but I enjoyed it.
The guy working there was also very nice and helpful. I’d love if the prices were a bit more visible and easy to find. But we were very happy and the bread was wonderful.
I was looking forward to trying out their gluten-free ramen. Could have been great if it had some flavor besides salt. I tried to add many spoons of the table chili to offset it but it wasn't strong enough. The egg was cold and the mushrooms were kind of hard. I could only eat half.
The friendly waiter brought my bill & pointed out a seemingly generous discount for my experience... It was actually the local discount & I live ~1000 ft away.
I'll probably go back but definitely avoiding the ramen.
What really impressed me was their handling of dietary restrictions! They accommodated gluten-free, vegan and nut allergies without compromising on taste. The vegan curry options were just as delicious as the meat dishes. Portions were generous and everything was incredibly fresh.
Since 1986! Impressive. My review is redundant - but here goes: VEGAN food! Plus other WELL LABELED options like vegetarian and gluten free. Lilting music, soft lighting and pastel blue surrounding - like a meditation bath - with nibbles! Interesting information about Sri Chinmoy abounds. Indian lamps and lovely greenery. The Rama Bowl was enjoyed by my table mate. I had a small nachos. The beans were seasoned in a yummy way and the fresh guacamole was delicious.
Cute spot, tasty food, good service. Overall it was a lovely experience. Admittedly, I don't give out 5 across the board unless it's a flawless experience. The food was good. We ordered chilliquiles, and gluten free blueberry/lemon pancakes. Everything was tasty, and came out in a reasonable about of time. The server Esa was sweet, and did her job. It was just a basic experience. There were plenty of opportunities to recognize our needs that were missed. I had ordered a diet coke, and asked, before ordering if they had "diet coke" specifically. I was told yes. I was originally served coke in a bottle, so I immediately thought; either they only had coke, and she wasn't paying attention, or they had "coke light" and not actual diet coke. Both things made me no longer want the DC. However, I let her know it was a coke, when I had ordered diet; she did apologize and let me know she rang it in correctly, but somehow brought it out wrong. It was corrected, but as I suspected, it was Coke light. Not a huge deal....moving on.
When our food came out, we had said we were sharing, but we didn't have plates to do so. The food runner who dropped our food went back and got some. Fine, again, being not picky. Our glassware was left on the table even after the coke light bottle was empty, cocktail glasses empty, and water was empty for about 10 min before a refill. Their tiny (2) top table was tough for us to have anything extra, and since we were sharing, it was already a squeeze.
The ambiance was loud, and didn't feel warm. It was basically a big room, so we were all just plopped together. It was fine, since we were in a corner. Not ideal though, and if you were the unlucky party to sit in the wooden chair, and not in the booth, you would leave with an ache on your backside.
Highlights* Food was tasty, cocktail was delicious, but weak. Server was sweet, and the wait went quickly.
The food is luxurious! I got the Veggie Smash Burger, Smashtots and PB Cookie Shake. Tater tots are tossed in olive oil and rosemary! Perfectly crispy with soft center. The Veggie Smash was delicious. The gluten free bun I requested had nice flavor, body and texture. The requested toppings were customized to my request.
The shake came in a frosted sundae glass with extra!
I was fortunate to meet George, the manager. He was informative, kind and professional. The team member who brought my food was upbeat and professional.
Overall, this Smashburger location was consistently high quality. I’ll be back.
We weren’t aware that this was takeout only. Interesting set up and disappointing to not have any contact with staff. Wish there were more gluten-free options. Pricing was not clear and seemed off. Total was around 20% higher than subtotal with no explanation. Was it tax? Was it service fee? Was it a built-in optional tip? No choices for us, just a total. Food was absolutely amazing but so expensive. I would go back again but it would have to be a special occasion
Sooooooo good! This is the best and most authentic Lebanese food I’ve had in a very long time. From the moment you walk in the door, to the moment you walk out, you are treated like family. The food is easily a 10/10, and the service is equally impressive, fun, friendly and extremely personable. I have a gluten allergy and the woman who helped with our order (I believe it was the owner) knew exactly how to guide us. We told her what we liked and she sent out the perfect order for us. This place is an incredible gem and I’m so happy we discovered it! We will be back a lot! 💞
I went with a friend for an early lunch (11:30A) and we decided to try La Moon Thai Eatery and I'm glad we did!
It's a small, quiet restaurant and at the time we were the only people besides a family that came and ordered after we did and later a takeout order.
The staff (1 woman) was very pleasant and cheerful. Not sure if she also was preparing the food or just serving but she was efficient.
They have a few gluten free options which for me is essential!
Their online menu lists ingredients and which items are gluten free *restaurant menu does not unfortunately, so I'd check the online menu first as the staff wasn't completely sure yet did double check and confirm before putting order in to kitchen.
I'd wanted to try their Drunken Noodles but was informed that it wasn't gluten free.
I went with my second choice and had the (mild) Green Curry with chicken and was instantly impressed with the flavors, just the right amount of spicy and portion (enough for a modest lunch and dinner)
My friend also enjoyed her meal of (mild) Green Curry w Tofu
The only other downside to experience is they don't take cash, it is card only no cash🚫💵 (small sign posted on the register) so I was glad my friend had her card as I only had cash.
Stopped in for a sweet treat while doing laundry.
The gluten free chocolate chip cookies are pretty good. They're to the left of the counter in individually sealed bags.
Similar to a thicker, softer version of a chunky chips-o'hoy cookie. I got 3, ate 2 and both had slight differences in texture and flavor (maybe one was fresher?)
The Boylan Black Cherry soda was delicious and not overly sweet or overly carbonated
The ice creams and sorbets looked good -will update once I've tried some
Would give 5 stars if there were more gluten free cookie flavor options
Everyone here is so nice and the drinks and food are delicious! I love having a coffee shop with vegan and gluten free options in my hood. Super cute place too with fun merch.
Amazing!! Food is delicious. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free people. I got the coconut rice, sweet jerk chicken, and eggplant. I asked to try some plantains and he threw a few in for me! Kept me full all day, amazing customer service, I can’t recommend this place enough.
Sang Dao is a straight up Lao Food staple in San Diego. For the longest time it was the only Lao restaurant I even knew about here. The spot is family owned and you can't help but feeling like you're just visiting the family and the aunties are in the kitchen sorting everyone with proper meals. They have PLENTY of gluten-free options and vegan meat substitutes. They will even take MSG out upon request, which is HUGE. They got ALL the yummy desserts and snacks you'd expect to get at a Lao food spot and when something is out, it's OUT until they cook it again. I DEFINITELY recommend this spot if you're ever in need of a restaurant with a good vibe and friendly people.
