10. ChiKo
Reviewed By iCriticSD
I stumbled on ChiKos and loved it, extremely innovative food made with high quality ingredients and served up by super enthusiastic fun people. What a nice change from the tired old crappy food concepts that seem to be flooding Encinitas. And too bad for the guy who complained about not enough vegetarian dishes, itâs not a vegetarian restraunt, itâs Chinese Korean - how about googling the menu instead of complaining and giving a bad review! And boo hoo for the whiner that dropped in with 15 people and had to wait - let me drop into your house and see how long it takes to whip up a meal. These mediocre whiney reviews are not fair. I loved ChiKo so much I went back and the second time was even better than the first. The chicken was fantastic, the lamb is amazing, the egg rolls are delicious and fun. The pot stickers are great. Yummmm! Itâs making me hungry and want to go back again just writing this review! And NO! I donât have anything to do with this place. I am just a fan!

We were told by local friends that this place offers the best sushi in north San Diego area. Every peice was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt and gracious. Outside seating on the street seemed pleasant, but we opted for the shaded inside since we went for lunch when the sun was strong. Try the $25 variety platter for two. It was plenty for three men.

This restaurant is just a treat to dine in or to take out. The food is as good as can be loaded with high quality ingredients and very friendly service. Love the Pad Thai and all the curry dishes. Great green papaya salad and wonderful soups. Good selection always a treat

Three pals stopped here for dinner and each of us ordered different items from their new and extensive menu and we each enjoyed our choice greatly. I had a yellow curry with octopus, carrots, and onion, served with rice (white or brown), another pal had a pineapple/shrimp combo, a third pal went vegetarian. Each of us had a huge portion for a very reasonable price, plus our choice of beer or wine. Tasty, tasty, along with pleasant service. We wondered why we hadnât been here for a long time and weâll definitely come back soon.

We happened upon HapiFish. Watched the chefs in action for a while, we sat at the bar, which was perfect- under the fan and lights. The presentation was wonderful- see photos. We shared three rolls- and were more than satisfied- and great saki. The bartender was knowledgeable and so helpful in our selections.

Great sushi, sashimi, tempura, ... never had anything but fresh, tasty, well prepared food. Happy hour (4 - 6) makes the place a good value.Located in the corner of a strip mall by the freeway, the room and sushi bars are crowded with happy patrons. And yes, the tables are crowded together as well. The floor to ceiling windows open to the parking lot, and added to the constant open and close of the door, can contribute to a somewhat cold temperature--bring a light coverup. Service is always pleasant but rarely great--perhaps the young servers are new to their calling?Overall, however, this is a good choice for food and value.

Iâd say the noodle dishes are best. The Tam Kah soup is delicious. You need to have reservations which you make the old fashioned way, by calling the restaurant directly; they note it on a sheet of paper. Very scientific, but it works for them. I stopped in for lunch recently by myself, glad I had some cash, as credit cards are only taken over $10. My lunch with chicken as protein was $8.95 including tax.

Do not allow the modest looks of this small cafe deceive you. We literally stumbled upon this Asian Fusion hole-in-the-wall and were enticed by our neighboring table's steaming Monk Bowls. It was absolutely delicious and stayed piping hot to the last spoonful, thanks to the heat of the stone bowl!
